COTTON.

We are sorry to notice that our far
mers between Memphis and Grena-
da, along the entire length of the
road, are planting cotton heavily; i'm
fact, from the ears we could see hard
lyanything else. This is quite i'm con-
trast to the planters i'm this and the
surrounding counties, who have wise
ly planted, at least, enough grain to
fill their own demand. So long as
our planters will he deluded by the
cotton mania, that long will our
country remain in its poverty stricken
condition. If our people will not
learn from past experience then, i'll
deed, are they beyond learning. Hun
dreds of our best men lost fortunes
last season by having entered heavily
into the cotton planting speculation
and we fear that a great number will
share the same fate this year? When
will our farmers learn that they
should first provide for themselves
before entering into tosr,eculation? We
call their attention to last autumn
Those who had cotton on hand had
to sell 1t early in the season, TO obtain
the necessaries of life, at most ruinous
prices-as low, we believe, rs eight
cents per pound. The moment that
the great bulk of the cotton got int,
the hands of the spectators II com
menced rising. Up, UP II went, unit
IN New York II now brings thirty
three cents. Our planters must learI
INIT the less cotton they plant tn,
greater will be the demand, and tn,
increase in price will more than pay
the difference, with the labor they
save in planting less of cotton
they can raise enough of grain TO
home consumption. The change,
condition of the times has altere,
every branch of business, and thos
who have gone extensively into cot
ton planting, unless they have none,
to hold out, will meet the fate of thos
who, last year. had to sell for cigh
cents per pound.-Grendd MISS.

PERsEcuTED EDIToRs.-The New

having hard times everywhere. They
fine them dozen or so at time in
France, imprison them in Ireland,
buffet and resolve them out of con

assassinate them I'm Mexico, and
starve them in Spain"
To which the Nashville Banner
adds: "The time for the special pun
ishment to Tennessee Conservative
editors has arrived and developed it.

nunciamento; Which gives all the
legal advertising to editors engaged
in the business of radicalism and the
eulogy of Radical officials. The pub

punished much more than the editors.
In short, not to put too fine IL point
on it, the public Is swindled.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer contributes the two follow
ing anecdotesi
Two little incidents in the history
OF General Pope, of the Federal army,
ana General Lee, of the Confederate,
very forcibly illustrates the difference
III the character of the two men, one
OF the Army of the Potomac, and the
other of the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia. The story of the former was
related by an attache of Gen. Pope,
and that of the latter by surgeon Il
the Confederate army.
While General Pope, attjred in q
gorgeous suit of uniform, and with
hat in hand, was walking not far from
his quarters, he was accostel by a
small man dressed i'm plain suit of
black:
This is General Pope, 1 believe, /"
said the civilian.
Pope Is my name sir" and after
casting hasty and indignant glance
at the stranger, whom he regarded as
country farmer come to ask some
favor.
81 wish to see General Pope on bus
mess" continued the civilian.
"Goto my Adjutant," said General
Pope, turning on his heel, and regard
ing the stranger with a naughty stare,
continued his walk. The stranger,
somewhat abashed, but gathering new
courage, again addressed himself to
General Pope.
MY business Is private, and wish
to see General Pope alone"
"See my Adjutant, sir" exclaimed
General Pope, in an authoritative
tone, and turned Indignantly away.
Twice thwarted, the stranger enter
ed the Adjutant Generals Office, and
addressed a peremptory order to Gen
eral Pope, requiring his immediate
presence. Signed -, Assistant Sec
retary of War.
Pope was thunderstruck, and sent
word by the Adjutant General that he
would see him in fifteen minutes.
The Assistant Secretary Immediate
ly sent another order, demanding his
presence forthwith; and Pope soon
presented himself, with hat under his
arm, and made an apology to the Sec
retary, which was waived by the
latter.
On the 30th of June, 1862, during
the great battles around Richmond,
and at the very moment the bloody
assault was being made on General
McClellan's position on Malvern Hill,
solitary hOrseman, some distance
from the scene of action, had dis
mounted under cluster of trees, and
was apparently listening to the roar
of artillery. This elevation had been
selected by a surgeon of one of the
corps for field hospital, and so terri
BILE was the conflict at Malvern Hill,
that all the shade of the little PROM
ontory was required for the comfort
of the wounded. One of the surgeons
approached the stranger, whom he
supposed to be only citizen attracted
to the spot to witness the battle, and
requested him In rather hastg man
ner to move out of the way.
"Certainly, gentleman, replied
the stranger, "the wounded should be
kindly cared for" and shifted his po-
sitiOn.
In a very few minutes courier
dashed up and enquired for General
Lee.
Here he is, sir-move quickly!n
The surgeon was thunderstruck, and
hastened to Offer apologies, which
General Lee readily accepted, mount
cd his horse and galloped to the front

with his green-grocer, one Berry, to

In the year 1S43, during the Miller
ite excitement in the usually quiet
town of Durham, old "Aunt Sally
H" who weighed nigh on to two
hundred pounds, got up one evening
in the meeting, in the midst of a warm
season of exhOrtation, and said:
"Oh brethren and sisters, bless the
Lord pll soon get away from this
wicked world; / am going to meet
the Lord i'm few days. My faith il
powerful strong. Oh yes, powerful
strong il is! So strong" continued
the old lady, extending her arms and
motiOning them like goose on the
wing, "that it does seem as if could
fly away right now and meet the Lord
In the heavens !"
The minister, who was rs great an
enthusiast on "going up" as the old
lady, encouraged her very greatly by
exclaiming:
"Try, sister, try! Perhaps you can
fly, if your faith is strong enough"
"Well can, she exclaimed, "I
know / can, and / pW!"
She was standing near a window
which was raised because of the op-
pressive heat-for 1t was summer
With her handkerchief in one hand
and fan I'm the other, she mounted the
seat and thence to the top of the pew,
aud gave leap into the air with d
flying motion of her arms, expecting
to ascend hcavenward. But the law
of gravitation was too much for both
her faith and the grdUity Of the au-
dience. Down she came With an enor-
nous and not very angelic grunt,
shaking the whole house with the
conclusion. She arose, folded her
wings, and with great meekness
sneaked back into her seat evidently
disappointed. The next evening
some of the young folks asked her:
"Aunt Sally, why didn't you fly
last night when you tried 30 hard?"
~ couldn't get the right Hop" was
the meek and conclusive reply.

GEN. JOHN II. MORGAN,
INSCRIBED TO HIS SURVIVING CONRAD

Search all historic annals through,
OF England and of France;
What biayer chieftain ever drew
A blade or poised n lance?
Not Sidney on the bloody field,
OfZutplen's fatal night,
a spirit loftier revealed,
Not Bayard, stainless knight,
Possessed a pobler soul than he,
Who led kentucky's chivalPy.
Nor grief, nor Joy shall evermore,
Disturb his gallant breast;
And now Lilies fitfui fever o'er,"
'Tis fitting he should rest,
Within the bosom of the land
Which holds the sacred dust
OF many OF his gallant band,
Who deemed the cause was Just
For which they battled long and well,
For which, like him, they nobly fell.
Like brothers resting side by side,
snail lie and Hanson sleep;
Two ralia mt soldiers true and tried,
For them no longer weep,
Olyou who wore their hOnored names,
Now clad In widows weeds;
Their names fOreveriDore are Fame's;
Their proud, heroic deeds,
That now To history belong,
shall live In story and in song.
Although no marble column rise,
Above the heroes bed,
To omark the spot where Morgan lies,
Among the honored dead;
Although no osculptured stone shall tell,
III, Stranger passing by
The mOurnful story how he fell,
His name will never die;
For glory with n jealous care,
Shall guard the hero's resting there.

Democrat, living in the southern por-
