and the father Of two bright little chil-

SENSIBLE. The Rome (Ga.) Courier,
of a recent date, has the following sens-
BILE article:
Corn is worth one dollar and forty
cents in this city--cove hay is worth
forty two dollars ton--bacon is worth
sixteen cents-cotton is dull at 22i.
The above is the severcst sarcasm that
we could heap upon those men, who,
with utter disregard of oil common sense,
advocate the Wholesale planting of cot
ton, to the exclusion or corn and the
grasses. just think Of it, ye fanatics!
In this rich and royal country, where
clover will thrive as heartily as in the
valleys Of Virginia--whcn corn can be re-
muneratively produced at thirty cents n
bushel, we are giving nearly five times
that amount for it, and holding cotton
at the disastrous figures quoted above.
No man is farming on safe principles
who does not plant enough corn for his
own consumption at least.
The idea that we can coin money in
piles and purchase an abundance of corn
and pork from Western monopolists, is
an unwholesome one. ual
Put in enough corn and clover to keep
your family from starving, and then If
you have surplus Of land and labor,
plant cotton to make money with. But

FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER II.

THE IMPERIAL CAPTIvE.-i had the plea
sure of a conversation to day with the emperor,
since my arrival at WiihelmshoEe, and repeat
ed to him the principal points of information
impaired to me by the Prussan Commissioners.
The reply Of tho Emperor was that there
could be no prospect of peace, near or remote,
on the basis of ccding to Prussia slng'e 1901
of French territory, and no government III
France could attach its signature TO sue"
treaty and remain in power single gay.
The Emperor, to whose presence hao mo-
the Ieas. difficulty in penetrating, IS i0okite III
remarkably good health, though ne mas peep
suffering for day or two past from s hls
attack of pout, brought on, no DOUBT, Dy
marked change 10 the weather, which is to day
coId and rainy. The high and exposed sstua-
ton Of Wilhelmshohe is such as to render the
winters very severe, and l should be inclined
70 think that prolonged sojourn at this place
would be very trying to any one unaccustomed
to the rigors of northern climate, and par
ticularly to temperament like that OF Nspo-
leon III. He himself seems to think little
and to care less about his own personal comfort,
every thought being evidently preoccupled
with unhappy France, now alas further re-
moved than ever from peace and tranquility
He spoke in warm terms OF the numerous
proofs of the kindly sympathy entertained tor
him IN England, which he Is IN the constant. ea'
bit OF receiving from every quarter OF the
United Kingdom, and alludss also, with sad
smile to the dastardIy attacks made upon him,
a prisoner, by too many Of his own country
men, who, one would suppose, whatever their
opinions, might at least show some respect TOR
the great misfortune of the man who has in
the past done so much tor the prosperity OF
France. While was converslng with him
letter from Southern France was brought 10,
which turned out to be one of the coward'y
ANONYMOUS missives sent to Wihclmshohe, and
containing number Of doggerel verses, which
the Emperor contemptuously cast aside: lie
spoke in respondent terms OF the present dis
traoted condition of Fsanee-a prey to a tor
eicn foe without and to anarchy within. He
scarcely dared, under existing circumstances,to
hone for better times. But when ventured
to ask il the time would not come soon when
his friends would be authorized, by his Own
initiative, to make some movement to retrlve
his fortunes, the Emperor at once replied that
the sole aim of France must now be to drive
out the invader of her soil; and he would
never, by word or deed throw obstacles in the
way Of accomplishing that task, OF take any
steps that would imnede the national defense.
