A gentleman who has Travelled ex'

the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
that the acreage in cotton will be about
25 per cent. less than last year. A lar
ger area of land will he devoted to corn
and small grain. The State Grange OF
the Patrons Of Husbandry recommend
cd one third cotton and ,wo-thirds in
corn, wheat and other such products
as are needrul 20 the support Of man and
beast. If the programme laid down by
the grangers be adhered to aud faithful
ly carried out, the planters Of Georgia
will find their financial condition vastly
improved at the close Of this present
year. The mania for all cotton has
we'll nigh ruined the South. If cxpe'
rience is worth anything, the planters
have had it bitter enough TO deter them
from trying TO make money by planting
cotton exclusively.

The Railroad Strike in Pennsyl
yania.

The railroad trouble in Pennsylvania
has assumed alarming proportions. AT
Snsquehanna on Sunday the strikers
were masters of the situation, and mat
ters were considered grave enough to
justify the authorities in calling out
troops, several companies of whom were
at once ordered 10 the front. Their
presence, however doesn't seem TO have
alarmed the strikers much, and Sunday
evening collision appeared imminent,
though il is likely an arrangement will
be effected without boodshed. The
failure Of the Railroad Company TO pay
the employees promptly appears TO
have been the origin Of the trouble. One
dispatch says: Five hundred troops
have arrived, with section Of light ar
tillery. More en- route" or course,
the sensation papers are filed with dis
patches, which read like another rebel
lion was about to burst upon the land.
We shall perhaps have something later
and more definite before going TO press.

very considerable number of influential
Republicans in Congress desire change
in this department. II, as Is now expect
