Well, we don't know how you
expect to get on in Georgia, the
Empire State, but over here in the
Old Palmetto, the prospect is a
gloomy one. We have made too
little corn, wheat and oats-we
have raised too few hogs, cattle,
sheep, horses and mules; and we
have made too much cotton-at
the market prices. The debit side
OF the balance sheet of almost
every man who has gone it strong
on cotton, is the largest, and he
begins the new year with a little

That L. McLaws, a Major Gen

and the day Of calm, sensible

this an evidence OF moral courage,

After near nine years OF outrage
and plumber, Of misrule and fac
tionism, it is time to sober of the
nation it is high time to unload
all stuff which is not worth the
