A GREAT MAN CoXE.-Tho tclerra,.h
announces the death Of Hon. john Bell. OF
Tennessee, an event Which, though not
unexpected, will fall with sadness upen
many on American heart. Mr.. Bell was a
great man in the day of Our intellectual
giants. lie WAS the colemporary and
peer Of Clay, Calhoun, Cass, Benton and
Webster, and served with them in the
Senate Of the United States. lie was EN-.
inently distinguished in every position 10
which he was called, whether in the Cab
met or Legislative halls. IIe was the
chosen leader and champion of the Wings,
Or Conservatives, in their last struggle for
the Union, in 1860. Mr.. B.ll bore a
prominent part in the history Of tho Gov
ernment for the thirty years preceding the
war, and his name will SO down to poster
i'y among tbocc Of our ablcst, purest and
best public men.

DISTINGUISHED DEAD.

during tho past two weeks, three
distinguished names havo been num-
hered with the dead Secretary Raw.
'ins, Senator Fcsscndcn, and the Hon
John Bell, Of Tennessee.
Secretary Rawlins was 'thc soul o!
Grants Cabinet,"-a man of genius.
and Of rare modcration-a friend to
the South, and said to bo the advocate
OF that moderate policy, which now
prevails.
Senator Fcsscndcn was q man OF
great talents and high character an
honor to tho body: Of which ho was
80 long Il member.
John Bell, Of Tennessee, was q
rcllct of ti.c best days Of the Rcpub.

will be held on Wednesday, the eth
October. to fill two vacancies from
AbbeVille, in the Legislature. We
trnst that our citizens will give the

Importance demands. Let private
"oncerns yield to public interests on
that day. Give that day at least to
tho country, aud the country will
discharge tho. obiigation-will give
back your own with usury. Let us
eject intelligent, capable men, aid

Legislature. II we mako an effort
wo can elect such, and if we fail
our own rcmissness, il will
be a crying shame. Remember the

TO TIE FARMERS OF ARBEVIIILE
DISTRICT.

propose to rcGicw our situation
with you in Il series Of short articles
to which [ ask your thoughtful and
serious attention. 1 regard tho sub
Ject OF which ! shall treat, and tho
suggestions / shall mako for your
adoption, Of great Importance to tho
State, and especially to every individ-
ual farmer whether ho ba proprietor
OF tho land, or = tenant only. What
has been your experience since the
first OF January last ? Has it not
been an exact repetition Of each pre-
cccding year since tho Spring oi
1864 feeling Of inteuso pressure, OF
porplcXing anxiety, Of extreme pccu-
mary hazard have you not subject
cd yourselves to irrcparablo loss,
pledged what littlo you had saved
from tho wreck Of your fortunes, and
stnkcd all Oh the contingencies attend
ing tho crop Of each year. I spcal:
my own experience, which l dare say
is that Of every aSriculturist in the
District. What has been the p-acti,
cal result Of your yearly operations ?
Your effort has been to plant as large
an area as possible; 70 prepare OF
not, and cultivate us you could, hop.
ing by favorable seasons and Il streak
OF luck, perhaps to make good crop
You have planted acres Of land
which, from q want Of thorou"i,
preparation and other requirements
have not yicldc! enough to pay the
costs expended. You were required
to dcii'ay the expense OF material
used, the labor employed, which, with
the time expended, that might have
been turned to u profitable account
amounts to much more than the re.
turn You received. Your practice has
not varied an iota from the superficial
expensive and ovcrrcacI,ing efforts o.
times when you were enabled 70 con
troll your labor; and your ch;l!ices o
failure now, when You have lost that
control and the peril OF such pract;c,
Is increased q hundred fold. In my
judgment thc practical result Of sucl
Operations has been to support youi
'aborcrs almost at your own c*nanac
to waste away yonr lands N have vet
TO sec the first plantation that WA:
not in 4 worse condition than it WA.
any proceeding year since the war
and the event Of amy considerable dc
cline in the price Of cotton, with tn,
increasing cost Of supplies, q com
ricte prostration Of I'LL our hopes ant
fortunes. J. submit that, in conc,u
sion Of this interview, Jon will asrc,
will me, that "the situation" thus fal
is quite unsatisfactory. I ask ever,
farmer to reflect OIL his matter earn
cS! y, and next wccl, l will resume
the subject and cruravor 10 point ou

Cotton Prospects-Duty of ths Planter

A comparison Of tho cotton reccipts
during tho past and former years, tho
constant increase i'll its consumption
and the present unusually small stock
on hand, would lead one to thinll that
however prices may huctuate, and be
depressed for time, yet with the
preHent ratio Of consumption to pro
dncti"o, they must be maintained.
From late circular, We gather the
folio y ing iacts: Total stock ON hund
lst Sv::lcmber 1867 WAS $50, 900 bales;
Receipts from lst Sept, 90 to 3lst
August: 'Es, 2:l30:pOO bales; lnalinr
total supply for 81 and 'Gs, 2.s2C 900
bales; oi which tho con.unpt;on
amounted to 1886 on0 bales; leaving
stock on haud lst Sept, Us 2i0 0uG
taies. Adding TO this the estimated
receipts Of 'cs and 90, 2,313 ,ouo bales.
would give the total supply OF 10 an,:
90, 2,G06.GD bales; and Lrductin..
consumption estimated ut 2,l9S, 900
bales, would leave tl,c stock on hauJ
lst Sept. 90: at tho very low il gure
OF 10000 balos. Another ANA later
estimate OF the past crop is only OF
2,26C,55I bales, which with the above
estimated consumption, would entire,
~ exhaust The crop.
With the above estimates in view.
and with tho further fact, that The
crop OF the present year is bound to
be short, whilst the demand kc,nc
