Southern Trade Gazette.
Mr., B. F. Cue, ex.Lieutenant Gov
ernor of Iowa, writes TO the Register
that in a journey South he looked dili~
gently through four Gulf States and
saw only one field of red clover and no
timothy or bluegrass. Farm imple~
ments are poor single mule is usu-
ally the pillow team, with sometimes an
OK for substitute, and cultivation is
certainly behind the age. Under
system Of good husbandry the crops
could in few years be easily doubled.
There is a rich field for Northern men
with energy and some money; "but
they should come in colonies of several
families each, for the old prejudice
against white labor still exists in some
sections"
The editorial columns of the Trade
Gazette have contained so many arti.
Giles relating to agriculture that some
Of our readers may have come to the
conclusion that we were ourselves til
lers of the soil, or had some Interior
object in booming the farm interest
of the South. The latter, although
not just the truth, comes much nearer
than the former; for we are not to the
manner born, nor are we even practi.
cal planters, but we plead guilty to just
SO much of the charge as relates to the
success of the Southern farmer as a
class. OF course agricultural advice is
dirt cheap and offered in plentiful sup.
ply, but where one has the success of
the section at heart it is hard to refrain
from discussing the pros and cons Of
methods which make or unmake their
i
success in competition with planters of
other sections or chimes. The forma-
ton of this last sentence gives hint Of
the position we have endeavored so
long to explain, and so strenuously
urged upon the consideration of our
Southern agriculturists. We say agri-
culturists here, because we believe the
time has come when the word planter
should be dropped as obsolete, because
it conveys the idea of large landed
proprietor with his broad acres of cotton
always cotton-and his army of SER
wants and "hands." This is all well
enough in itself, and it will, perhaps,
be continued by those who have the
capital or skill, or both, to conduct
such large enterprises, for there is no
line of money>getting which does not
contain some "princes of the trade.
Nor do we wish to decry the practice
of large farming to those who are pre-
pared with the above named requisites
for successfully prosecuting 1t, but we
do say and wish to impress it upon the
minds of those who look to the soil for
their sustenance and profit, that be-
cause the skillful capitalist succeeds in
making money from his large venture,
that you must endeavor with your
smaller means and cramped facilities
to follow in his plans; it is fallacy.
We devote time and space to these fire.

When the supply boats had steamed
past the Vicksburg batteries, allowing
the Union troops to cross the Mississippi
below Hard Times to Grand Gulf,
Blair's second division of the Fifteenth
Corps found itself after forced march
for water, shaking its parched thirst at
the Black.
On the further slope was what had
been handsome farm residence with
its steep>pitched Southern roof, wide
galleries, and background of sweet
scented magnolia grove. There was
no sound or sign of life about the house,
not even the bark of dog, friendly or
otherwise, and every shutter was closed.
The house, like hundreds of Others,
seemed to be deserted, and so it came

An officer who had gone round to
the rear to find well, became aware
of woman looking at him from a
quietly opened door-a woman of forty,
dignifed, lady-like, but haggard and
pallid with heavy woe. The officer
touched his cap respectfully, as he told
her of his purpose there.
"From what State are those troops?"
she asked.
"Mostly from Missouri and Illinois.
