Hints to Farmers.
The year 1861 will be memorable, and re
ferred to as a memorable epoch for all time to
come, apart from the momentous events con
nected with the great war in which we are en
gaged. The revolution—the severing of the
ties that bound us to the old Union—the com
plete organization of a new and greatly im
proved government—the raising and equip
ping of a powerful army in an unprecedented
short space of time—the unanimity of our peo
ple—the good will—the charity manifested by
all for each others past errors and party asso
ciations : these constitute one of the most re
markable epochs in history.
But not the least important of the many cir
cumstances that might be mentioned is the un
mistakable evidence of the favor of Providence
as manifested in the unusual good health of
our people, in all our Southern cities, where
pestilence so often prevails. No yellow fever,
that scourge of our seaports—no cholera—and,
fact, no epidemic of any kind has prevailed
in the sunny South, and we have had no un
usual cause of death except that which has re
sulted from the war that has been made upon
us by the fanatic North.
We have been blessed with glorious rains—
in most cases just in season. Almost every
kind of garden and orchard products have been
abundant and superior in quality. Then our
held crops ! How grateful to the heart of the
tiller of the soil! Wheat is abundant and
large-grained ; oats fine ; all small grains a
success; and corn, we have never seen the
like. Bottoms and up lands, new and old
grounds and all sorts of lands are well stocked
with full-eared corn—the staff of life. Pota
toes are made and abundant, and peas very
promising All this is sure.
Now let every farmer, during this month,
sow down ton times more turnips than ever be
fore. Prepare the ground well, and put them
in every where that you can. This is a most
important crop—nor for table use alone, but
for live stock. A small patch of ground will
keep fat a milch cow during the winter. They
should be boiled, tops and all, and mixed with
kitchen slop—too often wasted.
Save every pea and pea-vine. The peas you
can sell or fatten your hogs with—the vines
make the best of hay, when cured.
Then go over your farm aud mow all the
luxuriant grass, which will make superior
hay, if saved now, but which the frost will
soon kill. You have no idea how much you
can save in this way till you try it.
And now, while your crop is maturing, be
fixing up your stables and cow shelters. Good
housing during the winter is equal to half feed
to all kind of live stock in cold, wintry wea
ther.
Hunt up your pigs and shoata and commence
feeding them now. Put every thing in the
pork line up, to the last pound. We must not
depend on Kentucky and Ohio for meat next
year; and fatten every yearling for beef. We
should, in the exercise of a good judgment,
and turn to advantage every thing that we
possibly can in the meat line.
Then it behooves us all to practice a rigid
economy in every thing in the provision line :
but be sure to be liberal to the poor—especially
the needy families of our soldiers. Is there a
poor family near you, whose husband and
father—the main support—has gone to fight
for us? or a widow with several children, I
whose eldest son is gone? Visit that family, j
and see what you can de for them.
Select and save with care all kinds of field !
and garden seeds. Let us hear no more com- '
plaint of Liacim corn. Select good seed of ■
y-mr own raising; and so of all other seed for ■
the field or garden.
Buy as little out of the store as possible. Be
sure not to mistake aud have your jug filled [
with whisky instead of molasses, when you j
come to market Make all the children drink
milk or water, instead of miserable hot coffee, I
•nd MSsefrarX, instead of start ua Get up
rarly in the morning, go to bed sooner at night,
and stay at home more, and your doctor's bills
wilt not be as large by half.
To save a great deal of time, and enjoy your s
•elf immensely, take a good newspaper.' The
Qjwferfsmgr is only $5 a year, and the
only two.
I
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
Capt. I. T. Doyal—The Pleas of Gov’nor
Brown’s Friends.
This gentleman is out in a letter in favor of
Gov. Brown, in which he says :
“It is urged, however, by some, that it
would be a bad precedent to re elect the Gov
ernor. I confess that I cannot see the force
of this objection, and must insist that it comes
with bad grace from those who supported Gov.
McDonald for a third term, when he opposed
Gov. Cobb, in a time of profound peace.”
Capt. Doyal cannot be ignorant of the fact
that eight years intervened between the expi
ration of Gov. McDonald’s service and his run
ning again in 1851. If he had been elected in
1851, it would have been a third time that he
would have been chosen Governor, but not a
third, term in the common acceptation of that
phrase. When a “ third term” is mentioned,
everybody understands it to mean three terms
consecutively. The Captain’s argument falls
without much force.
But he says it was in “a time of profound
peace !” We are astonished to find this state
mentoverthe signature of as intelligent a man
as L. T. Doyal. Every boy, however illiterate,
who was ten years old at that time, has now a
vivid recollection of the exciting times then
upon us. The Union recked from centre to cir
cumference, and the revolution we are now in,
was well nigh inaugurated. In our judgment,
it was anything but a “time of profound peace.”
In alluding to the election of Gov. Harris, of
Tennessee, for the third term—consecutively—
he says that State has
“ Thereby ignored this ancient precedent of
retiring after the expiration of the second
term, and why ? Simply because he was faith
ful and honest, and understood the duties of
the office. Why may not Georgia do like
wise ?”
We differ with the Captain. If there is any
evidence that Tennessee has “ ignored this an
cient precedent,” in the broad sense in which
his language expresses it, we have yet to see
it; neither was Gov. Harris elected the third
time “simply because he was faithful and hon
est, and understood the duties of his office.”—
These were by no means the reasons as we un
derstand them. Gov. Harris had been a seces
sionist, when his State was Union, and decided
by a large majority to remain in the Union ;
and the final secession of the State is more ow
ing him than any other man-or perhaps any
hundred men in the State. After the State
Legislature had passed an ordinance of seces
sion, and that ordinance had been submitted
to the people and ratified by them, there was
still a strong Union element left—particularly
in East Tennessee. These avowed Union men,
and those who had reluctantly yielded to the
verdict of the people, sought still to break down
the secession of the State by putting such a
man into the office for Governor as the State of
Virginia had in Letcher—only more so if pos
sible. The object and hope was so to break the
force of secession as to turn the tide and carry
Tennessee b'ack into the old Union. They
brought out a man as near to their liking as
they could find, who had any show of strength
whatever, and were unsparing in their abuse
of Gov. Harris for the part he acted in bring
ing about the secession of the State- charging
him with all manner of unfairness and wrong.
The indorsement of his course became a neces
sity for the State, in order to complete its seces
sion and maintain its integrity in doing so.—
Under these circumstances, and not because he
had been “ honest and faithfuland not be
cause the State had " ignored this ancient pre
cedent,” was he elected the third time.
If similar circumstances existed in Georgia,
we would favor Gov. Brown’s reflection ; but
they do not. We know Gov. Brown’s friends
claim the public favor, largely upon what he
did to bring Georgia out of th|Qnion ; but this
claim has no foundation in truth. He was not
active in inaugurating and consummating the
secession of Georgia, while Judge Nisbet was.
He did a thousand times more to bring about
the secession of Georgia than Gov. Brown did;
and if any special credit is due on that score,
Judge Nisbet, and not Gov. Brown, is entitled
to it.
But we contend that if Gov. Brown had done
all to bring about secession that his friends
claim, he would not thereby be entitled to a
reflection. We have no Union party in Geor
gia and did not have ; and those who were op
posed to the secession of Georgia at the time,
in the manner, and under the circumstances,
yielded most cheerfully and entered heartily
into measure as soon as the State had taken
position. There was no kicking against the
policy of the State after that policy was made
known ; and no Union men abused Gov. Brown
for the part he took in bringing about secess
ion. The cases of Georgia and Tennessee are
not at all analogous ; and that such a plea is
urged in justification of Gov. Brown’s third
term candidacy shows how hard run his friends
are for any excuse whatever.
Neither will we go back and give Judge Nis
bet any credit in this canvass for doing infi
nitely more to bring about secession than Gov.
Brown—as he undeniably did. We would not
mention this matter—not allude to it, even re
motely, if the comparison were not invited; for
we contend that no true patriot will adveH to
the record of any man prior to the passage of
the secession ordinance, if that man is now
true to the State and the South in the position
we have assumed in the face of the world, and
are fighting to maintain.
Then his Tennessee example is no example
for us, for the circumstances are as different as
light and darkness.
Further: It is quite unpatriotic in others to
urge Gov. Brown’s great services in carrying
. Georgia out of the Union. It is stirring up the
i rancorous and bitter waters of partisan strife,
I whose bosom is now placie and should ever
! remain so. Palsied be the hand that would go
J back behind the secession of the State of Geor
. gia and endeavor to revive the same issues and
I parties with all their bad feelings that then
j existed. And then to think of the motive of
I those who are doing so ! Our people are bless-
I ed with forbearance or they would not endure
And then again .* If this issue was legitimate,
Judge Nisbet is entitled to more on that score
j than any other man in Georgia. We do hope
we shall see no more of this on either side. It
is all wrong, unjust, unpatriotic and unworthv
of good citizens.

Army of the Potomac, i
Near Centreville, Va., Sept. 14,1861. j
The affair alluded to in my last letter as
having occurred near Munson’s Hill, in front
of Arlington, got sadly turned around before
it reached our headquarters. Instead of get
ting the worst of it ourselves, as at first report
ed, it now appears that the enemy were the
sufferers, and that we eecaped wholly unhurt.
Gen. Longstreet, who is in command of our
forces in the vicinity of Munson’s Hill, hav
ing ascertained that the enemy was moving
in considerable force up the river, in the di
rection of Vienna, dispatched Col. Stewart, of
the Maryland Line, with a small force of 300
infantry, 100 cavalry and 2 guns, to observe
his movements, and, if possible, to hold him
in check until a larger force could be sent up.
The enemy’s force, as we afterwards learned
from the prisoners we took, coniisted of three
regiments of infantry, 200 cavalry and 8 guns.
Col. Stewart managed to head off the force
and get his two pieces into position before
they were aware of his movements. The first
intimation they had of his presence was con
veyed to them by two well-directed shots from
his guns. The salutation was unexpected and
produced great consternation in the ranks of
the enemy, who immediately began to fall
back in much disorder. He doubtless imag
ined that he had encountered one of those
“infernal masked batteries," for which this
region is so famous. The affair lasted but a
short time, and the enemy fired but few shots ;
and they seemed to be directed at random.—
Six men were left dead upon the field, and
four prisoners were taken. It is said that
Gen. McDowell led the Federal forces. The
object of the expedition is not known, but it
is believed that it was sent out to reconnoitre
our lines in that direction, and to ascertain, if
possible, the strength and position of our
forces.
This belief is strengthened by the events of
yesterday. We hear that the enemy pushed
forward a column, yesterday morning, in the
direction of Fairfax Station, and another to
wards Munson’s Hill, and that he drove back
our pickets and captured Munson’s Hill. The
report is probably exaggerated. I have no
doubt that McClellan, with a view to occupy
our attention, and to ascertain our position
and strength at various points along our lines,
found it necessary to throw forward reconnoi
tering parties in considerable force. But I
cannot believe that he means to offer us bat
tle. If he intended to attack our lines, he
should have done it ten days ago, when he
might have sallied out from his entrench
ments in force and given us a good deal of
trouble before our forces could have been con
centrated in sufficient strength to repel the
attack. He has shown but little enterprise
With his entrenchments to fall back upon, he
might with entire safety have engaged us at
several points. He has now waited too long.
His fear is that Johnston and Beauregard will
seek to cross the river above Washington, and
move down between Baltimore and the capi
tal. To prevent the execution of what he
supposes their programme to be, be has sent
considerable reinforcements up the river on
the Maryland side; and lest we should attack
him at Arlington and Alexandria, on the Vir
ginia side, he has likewise increased his for
ces at those points. Meanwhile, in order more
effectually to Checkmate the movement to
cross the river, he seeks to engage our atten
tion by pushing forward such reconnoitering
parties as those alluded to above.
It would be injudicious to speculate upon
the probable plans of our officers, further than
t> state what the enemy imagines them to be.
All doubt will be e’eared up in due season—
possibly before this letter reaches your read
ers.
Gen. Johnston moved his headquarters yes
terday to Fairfax. Gen. Beauregard moved to
the same place the day before. I do not be
lieve I have mentioned in any of my former
letters that Prince Polignac, es France, has
received an appointment upon Gen. Beaure
gard’s staff, with the rank of Lieutenant-Col
onel. He is a grandson of the famous Prince
Polignac who was imprisoned at Ham for his
fidelity to Charles X. He is reputed to be in
close communication with Louis Napoleon,
and upon terms of intimacy with Count Mor
ay. It is to him we ere indebted for the in
sertion in the Paris journals, last Spring, of
various friendly notices of the Confederate
Government. He comes highly recommended
by our friends in Paris. He is about thirty
years old, and exceedingly plain and unpre
tending. His family has enjoyed the title of
Prince for five hundred years.
Capt. E. P. Alexander, of Washington, Ga ,
formerly of the U. S. Army, is another mem
ber of Gen. Beauregard's staff. I am unac
quainted with him, but learn that he is look
ed upon as one of the most promising young
officers in the army. That such is Gen. B.’s
opinion, may be inferred from the fact that
he has mads him his Ordnance Officer and
Chief of Artillery—an exceedingly responsi
ble and important position.
There are about men encamped
around Centreville. There are numerous roads
leading hence to the Potomac, which spread
out like a fan, and we can move with ease up
on any point from the month of the Occoquan
to Harper's Ferry. The health of the forces
here has been improved by the change from
Manassas and the good weather. The men
are all learning to cook better, too—another
reason, doubtless, for the improvement. It is
no unusual thing to hear one man tell anoth
er that he can bake a better biscuit than be
can, or make a better enp of coffee. Each
company and mess has its brag cook. The
greatest difficulty the volunteer found was to
make a good buscuit. Anybody can learn to
make coffee, or to broil or fry a piece of bacon ;
but there are mysteries in a light, brown bis
cuit which render it more formidable to the
volunteer than the storming of a battery—es
pecially a Yankee battery. He can manage
corn meal much better. He was raised on
that, and has not seen the day since he was
ten years old that he could not bake a very
respectable ash-cake. But corn meal is not to
be had, except in small quantities. There are
six men in a mess, generally, and each one
takes his turn and cooks for a week at a time.
Several revolvers and razors, and one gold
watch, have been found since we came to this
place. The man upon whose farm we are en
camped, says a letter was picked up after the
federal army left, which one of the men had
written to his wife, but los; betore he had an
opportunity to post it. He informed her that
he had selected his farm just above Centre
ville, and that it was one of the finest he ever
saw. He bids her to have everything in a
state of readiness to bring the family down as
soon as the war shall have blown over. I
should not be surprised if the poor, deluded
simpleton were uot now in undisturbed pos
session of a.little farm upon the field of Man
assas.
Another letter was found upon the person
of a dead soldier, by a man in Extra Billy
Smith’s Regiment, and by him forwarded to
a member of Congress at Richmond, where it
was seen by several members. It was from a
wife to her husband. She informed him that
she would in a few weeks present him with
the hope of the family, upon which occasion
she would require the services of a nurse. She
desired him, therefore, as soon as the Grand
Army reached Richmond, to procure a smart,
handy young white girl, about sixteen years
old, and send her on immediately. She did
not want a poor girl, nor one belonging to a
second-rate family—none but one of the F. F.
Vs. (first families of Virginia) would fill the
bill.
One may laugh at these things now, and yet
how plainly do they show the deceits which
the Federal Government and its officers have
practiced upon their army, the motives which
induced the men to enter the service, and the
doom in reserve for us if they had been suc
cessful. A.

Louisville Occupied by the Fedkrals!—
We learn from a source whose reliability can
not be questioned, that Louisville was yester
day invested by five thousand Federal troops.
Comment is useless. The mere announce
ment of the fact is but the sequal of what was
long since anticipated. For months past a
strong Lincoln force has been encamped with
in fifteen minutes of that city, ready to be
thrown in at a moments notice.— Memphis Av

We have, ever since we knew anything
of Judge Nisbet, entertained of him that
opinion which is universal in this State.—
Moral integrity distinguishes his private char
acter. He is intellectually great. As a ju
rist, he honored the bench of the Supreme
Court of Georgia, leaving upon the decisions
of that tribunal the impress of a mind strong
by nature, and developed to noble proportions.
His speeches and his writings evince a ripe
scholarship, while his daily walk and cover
sation are such as mark the Christian gentle
man.— Confederate Slates, Sept. 16. (Brown
