A CHANCE HAS CONE AHOuT.--
Soon after the war there was such Il tic.
mand for cotton that the farmers of
the South used every possible acre of
ground III its cultivation, and under
those abnormal conditions il was more
prHlitahl to raise cotton than anything
else, and the farmer could afford
with the high prices he obtained for
his cotton, to buy his supplies. But
all this is changed. The price of cot
ton has come down until il is now
only a little higher than the cost of
production, and it is suicidal for the
farmer to cxpcnd all his energies in
producing cotton and use the proceeds
TO purchase his supplies. Take for
example year like this, when, by rca-
son Of the scarcity Of corn in the
West, the price is moro than doubled.
But it cost the farmers of the South
no more to raise corn in that year
than in other years, and 80 those far
mcrs who did not raise corn are com
PEELED to pay double prices for their
supply Of that cereal. On general
principles, we say that farmer cal
produce everything that hls farm viii
produce cheaper than he can buy il
from somebody else, because when he
produces it he gets 1t at prime cost
whereas when he purchases il he must
pay at least two profits, with the cost
of transportation addcd.~-MisSisSipp

HAM MPTON TO HIS LEGION
Farewell Address When He
Was Promoted to Brigadier

Of Gen. Wade Hampton his farewell
address to the Hampton Legion after
his promotion to the rank of brigadicl

only by old soldiers, but by all Ami.
rers of tho knighuy and distinguished
South Carolinian. 1t is as follows:
Richmond, June II, 1867.
Brother Soldiers of the Legion:
In taking leave of you as your colo.
mel | cannot BRING myself to do SC
through the cold formalitics of an or
der. l prefer to adopt the mcdc OF
communication usual between friends
that may be enabled to give greater
latitu e to the feeling natural TO the
occasion. One year ago you did me
| the honor to enroll yourselves under
my banner, aud you added the still
greater honor of inscribing on that
banner Il name which you have made
honorably known throughout our Con-
fcdoiacy. During that cventful year,
which has ust passed, | have received
from you only evidences of your kind
| hess, your esteem and your confidence.
The constant manifestations OF these
feelings on your part have not only
gratilicd me greatly, but have sustained
me in the arduous duties of my posi-
ton and made the connection which
existed between us, to me at least, only
a sou,cc Of unmiXed pride and gratiG-
cation. Such n connection is not easily
surrendered, and have never been
willing to leave the Legion, and it is
condiuon attached to my promotion
that | am not to be separated from my
Old and dear command. AS long, then,
as you are willing 10 follow me 50 long
shall hope to have tho honor and
pleasure of leading you. This day is
the anniversary OF our corps, and in
tho year that has passed you have
crowded many deeds of endurance and
glory. You may justly be proud of the
wcll-earncd reputation you have made
for yourselves and you can indulge an
honest pride in feeling that with ranks
thinncd by disease and the battle there
is not in the service q command VIII osc
name is more honOrcd by our friends
or feared by our enemies than that of
the Hampton Legion. Under our pro-
posed new organization | hope you
will honor me by still bearing the same
name and the same flag. Both are safe
in your keeping, and both will know
be still further illustrated by your he
roic bearing during the progress of the
war. In assuming my new duties with
my new rank | shall confidently look
to yon to set an example of all honor
able conduct to your associates. None
know better how to do this than You
do, and | know that shall not appeal
to you in vain to assist me in making
our brigade as efficient as the Legion
is.
Brother soldiers, bid you as your
colonel, Il most aifeciionntG farewell.
| thank you for your patient endurance
of trials, for your soldicrly conduct, for
your heroic forttudc and for the proud
distinction you have won. pray earn
estly that your trials may be lesscntd
and that the glory OF your aims may,
II possible, be augmented. With my
best wishes for your welfare and hap
pincss, am very truly and affection
ately your friend and fellow soldier.
WADE HAMPTON,
Brigadicr General.

Gen. Wade Hampton Owned 4,ooo Slaves.

Washington Letter to Birmingham Age.
 Herald.
 Every child of the South born before 1870 has heard the phrase, Rich as Wade Hampton" because 1t survived many years after the fortunes of war had made General Hampton poor man. It survived by force of habit. And perhaps there Is not Tn the South a son or daughter of a former slave-owner past five-and-thirty who does not recall the story of Wade Hampton and his slave.
 This story ran that Wade Hampton was riding along a highway that led through one of his numerous plantations when he met likely negro fellow likely" is an old Southernism meaning fine, and, with fellow" was applied alone to first class slaves. He drew rein and accosted the slave thus:
 You are likely fellow-who do you belong to?"
 Wade Hampton. sir"
 "Ah. And who is Wade Hampton?"
 Please sir master. you mus be from de Norf. case Mas Wade Hampton is de bery fust gemmun in de Souf."
 The story used to be told to illustrate the greatness in numbers of Wade Hamp tons slaves; his own slaves did not know him by sight-that is, hundreds and thou sands of them did not. The slaves he owned numbered four thousand. and he was, therefore. the largest slave-owner of the South. or of modern times.

The time has been, and not very many years ago, when smart Alecks from the North who happened to be in Congress, thought 1t fine sport to stir up the Con- federate brigadiers" as they termed it. knowing that some fiery Southerner would break loose and say things which would tend still more to keep the sec tions apart. That the time for such malicious performances has passed is plainly evident when an occasional bit terly sectional speech is made by some helated disciple of Northern prejudice Such speaker gets little more counte- nance or encouragement from the North than from the South now. nor do his colleagues in Congress applaud him. They see that the time for that kind of politics Is past.

HAS IGNORED ITSELF.
The c. A. R's Action in Honoring
 General Torrance,

Editor The Advertiser
 In his speech last night at Camp Lo- max. General Torrance, the Command CT of the Grand Army of the Republic, related an incident which shows the character of the man. He said Comrades you recollect that at the battle of Dranes- vile the Federal army held possession of the field. After the battle 1 walked over the position in the field occupied by an opposing Confederate battery. The ground was torn by our shot and shell and stretched stark and stiff in death lay the bodies Of five young beardless Con- federatc soldiers who had fallen by their guns. I could not refrain the tears that flowed from my eyes as l gaZed upon those fallen heroes. and comrades, l was the only mourner on that field over those gallant Confederates"
 The Grand Army of the Republic has honored itself and the country by plac- ing at it's head such a noble, magnani- nous soldier. whG on the. field Of battle could shed tears over fallen foe.

No Arguments for It.

Birmingham News.
 There does not seem to he a single ar gument that can be advanced in favor of the beef combina tion. If the men behind the scheme do not take better counsel and voluntarily dissolve it. it is to he hopel that the legal authorities will be able to circumvcnt their project and punish them for their criminal oppression. The nat ural laws of trade must govern the price of all the fo )d products. The trust that undertakes to enrich itself by unduly ele- vating the price of such commodities ds- serves the condemnation of right-think- ing men and merits the severest punish- ment the law can nflict.

MUNICIPAL CORRUPTION.

day or two ago The Advertiser had an item about St. Louis alderman's profits, and since that publication VIC
 have the report of a grand jury which
 has been investigating the charges Of
 bribery and corruption made against
 various officials of that city. From that
 report we take the following:
 From the evidence before us 1t appears
 that an official of the city government
 boasted of the fact that he had made
 $25.o0o year out of his ofhcial position,
 which paid a legitimate salary of but s3oo year. Another officiai. according
 to evidence before us. agreed with one in-
 terest to do an official act for s'5,00o. and
 afterward from the opposing interests
 accepted the sum of $100,0oo for doing the
 very opposite of that which he agreed to do for S75,000N One legislator received
 in cash at his own residence the sum of $500o0 for his vote on d pending meas
 ure. This was retained by him for a few days. then returned in the hope of
 receiving a larger sum- The measure
 was enacted. and the member. after much
 delay, was finally compelled to accept
 5000 in full for his vote on the fran
 chise bill v
 Is not that a dclectabie state of affairs
 for a civilized city? If the grand jury has slandered the officials, it is more corrupt body than they are. and if its charges are true and capable of proof. the people of St. Louis ought to take advantage of the first opportunity which presents itself to clean out the whole gang of thieves, boodlers and bribe- takers. Whether tho courts of that city can convict the criminals. remains to be seen. but if there are not enough honest men there to punish such fragrant crimes, the few really honest ones should move out and let the dishonest ones eat up each other.
 The only scoundrel deserving of pity in the whole lot is the poor fellow who lost si5,ooo by assuming a virtue which he didn't possess. We can imagine that he reasoned about In this way: T will take this s5o,O0O and after keeping it a few days will hand 1t back. Then. if the matter should become public, can show that I only cook the money to make the bribery transaction complete. and will thus establish reputation for integrity. If l find there is no danger. l will make them double the ante
 This. we imagine, Is about the way he 1t all out. and no doubt he elevated himself to the very tolmost pin nacle of the pedestal of official sancity. Old Dr. Sam Johnson and several other makers of proverbs say that "hell is paved with good intentions" ard this St. Louis man was laying block or two of that kind of pavement while he was lay ing for that substa ntlal slice of wealth. And. after all this we'll laid scheme, to be cut off with a paltry 5000 was enough to make such an honest official go out behind the barn and weep the bitter tears of disappointed hope. What's the use of being virtuous. if that is the reward? Next time, if there shall be any next time. he will hold on with one hand to what he gets and reach out for more with the other. But isn't 1t all d hum- Hating comment on the boasts of Amcri- cans that this Is a government of the people?

The St. Louis Post Dispatch still in- dulges in the halIucination that street cars should provide some means to pre- vent accidents, and as part of it's argu- ment calls attention to accidehts of last Sunday which. as it remarks were especially shocking. involving the mang- ling and probable fatal iniurinG of wo man 2 years old, and a hoy and girl of tender years. In both cases the vic tims were dragged underneath the worth less lenders, Of course such accidents were shocking, and of course the com pany is to blame, but what relief does our contemporary expect?
