There Is no country where the trotter draws

TO the lishtness of the trotting or road wagon,

Plant Corn.

The Chronicle and Sentinel we'll says: We
are fearful lest the present high price of
cottopshall induce the Georgia planter to
devote too much of his land this wear to
the production Of that staple to the neglect
OF full corn crop. Such policy, if
adopted, will surely lead to the ruin of
those who engage in it. We care not what
price cotton may bring, the first duty of
those planters who would prosper is to Sc
cure full and ample provision crops
We hear great deal of nonsense talked
these days about its being cheaper to buy
bacon than to raise it, when q pound of
cotton will bring the price required to pur-
chase pound of bacon; and that an acre
OF land planted in cotton will bring money
enough at present prices to purchase as
much corn MS three or four acres will pro-
dnce Those who argue in this way and
act in accordance with these theories will
always be poor. Their stock and work ami
mails Will never be able to perform full
work, and every living thing abor. the
plantation will speak trumpct-tonged
against snch false system
1t matters not how much cotton the
planter produces, he can never make large
net gain so long rs he is compelled to pur-
chase Mt high prices everything consumed
in making the crop A large crop Of cotton
made in this way would tend to depress
prices while the extraordinary demand for
grain and provisions, growing out of
failure on the part of cotton planters to
make their own supplies, would send prices
up. This, then, is the inevitable result to be
derived from large cotton to the exclusion
of corn planting-low priced cotton-high
priced corn-lean and weak work stock
starved farm animals-empty pockets
shoeless children-threadbare clothing and
sour dispositions.
The experience of our planting friends
will bear us out in the declaration that
planters will not feed sufficiently when they
have to buy provisions. They will also pur-
chase cheap supples-musty corn, poor
bacon, ctc.-whch in turn produces disease
among their stock, and often heavy losses
in the very midst of the plowing season.
Have we all forgotten soon the distress
and want and disease of the year 1867, fol-
lowing an almost total failure of the crop
of 1866? Will not planters be warned in
time of II like and imminent danger grow
ing out of a failure to try to make provi-
sions?

General Grants address upon assuming
the robes of his highofice, will be found in
our telegraph columns this day. We find
nothing remarkable in it. It,is about what
might have been expected of the new Pre-
sident. 1t is brief, plain, and direc. upon
the subject of finance and the fifteenth
amendment to the Constitution-upou these
points. he comes out plainly. Grant wants
things settled. By conceding suffrage to all.
he Seems to think we will 'have peace" 1t
was not to be expected that Grants inaugural
would please us in all respects. His policy
is not yet fully developed. Before we ven
ture to approve or condemn, we prefer to
wait further development. On yesterday,
4th of March, Grant became President of
the United States ''Let as hare peace"

On Saturday, Gen. Van Allen, formerly
of Gen. Hooker's staff, and in command at
1orktown.) who has recently arrived from
Cuba, had an interview with Gen. Grant, in
behalf of the Cuba revolutionists, who
wished him to urge upon the President elect
and upon leading members of Congress, the
necessity of giving them some encourage
ment in their efforts to free Cuba. Gen.
Grant replied, that the Cubans not only had
his earnest sympathy, but he was disposed
to give them the more substantial support
of official recognition. Spain, by her un-
friendly course to us during the rebellion,
had relieved us of any obligation to con-
slider her interest in the matter He favored

Saturday night, authorizing the President
of the United States to acknowledge the

WALTER SCoTr.-It is proposed in Great
Britain to celebrate, by grand display, the
centennial anniversary of the birth of the
great novelist, Walter Scott, which will
occur on August Is, 1871. From the length
of the time allowed for the preparations, it
is very probable that a festival is proposed
similar to the "Shakspeare Jubilee" pro-
iected by David Garrick, and celebrated at
Siratford on Avon, September 6, 8, 1863
The partcipntors in this jubilee represented
the characters of Shakspeare's plays, and
made an imposing appearance. The heroes
and heroines of Scott's poems and romances
brought together on the same stage would
present n vivid picture of the dress, Ian
guage, manners and customs of Scotland,
England. France, Switzerland, Burgundy,
Palestine, &c.
