Our planters have i nobly conformed to the
throe acre law, and many have not planted ono
aore to the hand since the war began. We be
lieve it to be the interest of the planter, and
we arc sure that the interest of the country would
bo subserved, by a further restriction by the
majority. Interest to the planter because, a
large crop of oereais would enable him to raise
more hogs, cattle, and other slock, and raise
them more rapidly, and with his excess of corn
and meat, ho ;could furnish the Government,
with just the thing it most needs at most remun
erative prices ; and thus procure the means of
paying high taxes. Interest to the Government
because, it now demands all the cereals that that
portion o! its Territory not overrun, can pro
duce, to support its non producers at home and
in the army. Let us argue this point, and take
the State of Georgia for an examplo.
We had in 1860, about one million of people—
we have now, including those in tho army and
refugess and the regular inhabitants ot home,
1200,000. Allowing tenbushela to each, would
require 12 millions of bushels to snpply them,
and this is too low ad estimate, when we con
sider the necessary waste in supplying our por
tion of tho army including that portion of the
army, wo must supply from sections overrun by
the enemy.
Wo hail in. 1860, two-hundred and fifty thous
and horses, rnuleg and asses, and we take it for
granted that vre have that number ut least now,
at home and in tho army, bixty bushels of
cereals per head for these, would be an esti
mate low enough, when we take in the
the necessary waste of a part ot thoir supplies
in the army. This would require la million
bashels.
We bad in 1800, two million of hogs, or two
hogs for each inhabitant, but wo were then com
pelled to purchase from Tennessee anil Ken
tucky and other Btates, an immense supply of
'bacoonanil hogs, fattened on cereals in those
States. To supply the demand for meat for 12
million of people at home and in the army, we
ought to increase our stock.of hogs to 4 millions,
which would givo over three hogs for each per
.on—ior immediate use and to perpetuate the
supply in future. In order to raiso and tatten
these 4 million of hogs as rapidly as wo should
do iu these times, w« should allow ten bushels
of cereals for each hog, or 40 million of buahois
lor tho whole. We have not taken into the
count other animals that consume breadstulTs.and
have a sum total of 67 million of bushels of
cereals neci ssary to supply tho demand of our
State. Now where is this to come from'! 1 In
1860 (we take all theso facts from the census)
whioh was a fair average erop year for com, and
an extraordinary year for small grain, wa made
about 35 million of bushels of cereals including
aorn, wheat, rye,'oats, potatoes, rice, borloy,poas,
beans, Ac. We then had only 1 millions of peo*
|de and bought hogs for meat, and horses and
moles raised and fattened off of cereals grown in
other Btatea. We imported lloui raised in other
States, and a great deal of corn and other cereals.
We then cultivated half of our arable lands
in cotton. We have seven millions of acres of
improved lands in the State, of which not more
than five and a half millions is cultivated, bat
if we say six millions will be cultivated thisyear
on account of iueteased population, and allow it
to average 11 bushels to the acre, which is a
very large yield, this would only give us 60
millions of bushels of cereals.
We have shown that we require 67 millions of
bushels of cereals; and plant every aero of
arable land, we oan only make 6G millions. —
Then take into consideration, the abandoned
farms on the ccast and on tho north border, and
the chances for a further advance of the enemy,
as well as tho allowauco of one aero to the hand,
for cotton for home consumption, and our figures
as to amount of yield will be none too low.
Lo* each farmer make an individual matter
in considering those facts, and put them in his
pipe and smoke them, and whilo doing so ask
himself these questions. Have I not sons, broth
ers aud neighbors in tho army ? Does not their
comforts aud perhaps life as well as the protec*
tion of my liberty aud property depend on tho
support of the army and peepK ? Though I
have the easier task, surrounded by the comtorts
of home, ought I not to feel that I am enlisted
in the ariuv, os a producer? What can I do
that will most benefit the army and the country
aud in doing so benefit myself ? Should I plant
cotton when my country demands that all my
lanesahould be planted in cereals?
Let each then resolve to plant as much corn
as he can plough, aid have hi* surplus wom*n
■pinning and weaving fabrios'to ot.u he hi* family.
Let them plant lutgeiy of peas, beans, rice, small
gram, groundnuts, Arc., and so vary them that
he o«tu h«op all his force not engaged in plough
ing, in cultivating these things, enrlchiag the
soil, clearing out fertile spots of land, ditching

doing their duty, and the latter can do a noble
work by doing their duty.

"O would 1 wore a soldlet!"
Cried little Bertie Lee ;
“If I were only older.
How very brave I’d be;
I'd fear not any danger,
IM floe not horn the foe.
But where tbe strife was fiercest,
There IM be sure to go.
I’d bo the boldest pifrket, j
Nor fesr the darkest night,’
Could I but see a foeinan,
l£ow bravoly I would fight;
I’d nobly do wy duly,
And soon promoted be—
Q would I were a soldier!"
Sighed hole Bertie Lae.
"Bat when I’m grown to manhood,
I'hia war will ail be o’er,

Our State rights to restore.
I may not bleed for freedom,.
That glory's not for me,
My name will not be written,

Then answered Bertie's mother,
In tender, loving tone,
“My darling little Bertie,
You need not thus bemoan;
A nobler strife awaits you,
'Tiseven now begun;
And you may gain the victory,
If brave and true, ray son.
“You are a little soldier,
A picket guard my boy,
To ward off every evil
That may your soul annoy ;
No earthly foe need vex you,
No midnight sound alarm—
With Jesus for your leader,
What could my darling harm?
“The noblest of all soldiers
My little son may be,
His name in heaven recorded,
The hero, Herbert Lee ;
That were far higher glory
Than any eartlyfame;
God grant the list ‘Prompted*
May bear my Bertie's name."
We have cheering news Irom the Cum
berland river, in the vicinity of Clarksville,
Tonn., from a gentleman who has just come
through the Federal lines. Captain Bruce
Phillips, formerly of the 14ih Tennessee
Regiment, and who commanded that regi
ment in the first day’s fight at Gettysburg,
who received authority last fall to recruit a
regiment of cavalry inside of the Federal
lines, is now in the section of country be
tween the Cumberland and Tennessee
rivers doing serious damage to the foe. He
has between 150 and 200 men, and has
been actively engaged all winter in annoy
ing the Federal garrisons at Clarksvile and
Fort Donelson, and the working parties on
the Northwestero Railroad Not long since
he attacked several thousand of the armed
negroes on the railroad, killed and wounded
a large number, and put the rest io flight.
Somo of them, whoso masters lived in
Clarksville, had reached that place, and
reported that the whole force had been
scattered except Ihose who were killed and
wounded, and that they themselves were
so badly scared that they hail been running
for thirty miles to get home.
A few days before Christmas, Captain
Phillips, with fifteen men, was in the imme
diate vicinity of Clarksville, The tact be-*
coming known to the Federal commander
at Clarksville, lie dispatched a party of
fifty*.six to capture them. Phillips* party
ambuscaded them and killed seventeen and
wounded as many others. Only seventeen
of the party returned to Clarksville. Capt.
Phillips is a daring and efficient officer, is
entirely familiar with the country in which
he is now operating, and will doubtless do
much good.—[Rebel.
Gen. Jolinstou and tlie Army,
From our intercourse with both officers
ami men within the last few weeks, we have
been enabled to work a very decided im
provement in the morale of the army since
Gen Johnston lias arrived upon the ground
and assumed the chief command. This is
most gratifying, but it is not unexpected.
Gen Johnston came lo his new field of
duty not as a stranger, with all the work of
inspiring confidence in the hearts ot his men
to be blocked out and performed by the
slow process by which such things must
necessarily be performed, lie came, on the
contrary, with that labor performed ready
to his hand, He was no stranger to the
Army of Tennessee. Every soldier in that
army knew him—knew his patriotism, his
courage and his skill—and gave him a
warm and hearty welcome when he came,
feeling more than willing to entrust our sa
cred cause to his guidance anu control, and
in defence of that cause to follow wherever
he may lead, or go wherever his wisdom
may direct.
Gen Grant may concoct magnificent
schemes for working his way into the heart
ot Georgia and cutting in twain the Con
federacy next epring; and as his prepara*
lions for the carrying out of his scheme will
be made upon the most extensive scale, it
will be no child’s play to stay and roll back
the tide ot plunderers he will cause to pour
down upon us; but we have sufficient con
fidence in the military skill of Gen John
ston, and in the courage and determination
of the army, to tael assured that when Gen
Grant begins Ins grand march upon Atlanta
he will find another field of the Chickamau
ga, from which he will not be permitted to
escape and find, as did Rosoerans, a city
of refuge behind the entrenchments ol
Chattanooga.
We feel that when Gen Jonnston meets
the enemy upon the soil of Georgia, it will
be to defeat hint gloriously, and “from the
nettle, danger, to pluck the flower, safety,”
Neither Gen Grant, nor any other General
in tho Yankee service, can wield more than
a hundred thousand men in a pitched battle
and any troops beyond that number will be
worthless to him, save as a reserve. But
the enemy will never come upon ue with
more than 100.000 men, even should he be
able to swell his t anks to that number, aud
we are confident that the Army ofTennes*
see, led by the brave and skinful comman
der now at its head, aided by such men as
Stewait, Cheatham, Ciebnrne, Hardee,
Breckinridge, and others will erase trom its
banners the name of Missionary Ridge, and
trace iu its stead a name that should glow
as brightly there as did the names ot Aus
terlitz, and Mureugo, ajid Lodi upon the
eagle* ot the Army of Italy.—[Knoxville

as soon as possible.
This morning a bill was presented authoriz
ing the President to suspend the Habeas Corpus
in any city, town or military district, when in
his judgment the public safety requires—to ap

Confederate Government and for offences against
the same, to continue in force thirty days after
the meeting of next Congress.
Also a bill to give transportation to soldiers
on furlough same as new on sick furlough. Re

act authorizing the )same committee to enquire
into the propriety of making all duties on block
ade goods payable in specie.
The military committee reported a bill to con
fer on Adjutants *of Regiments aud Battalions
the rank and pay of Captains of Cavalry—taken
up and discussed till the hour of Becret session.
In the Senate tbe Committee on Commerco
reported several important bills. One prohibits
duriDg the war the exportation of any cotton,
tobaoco, military naval stores, sugar, molasses,
or rice, except under such regulations as the
President may prescribe. Another prohibits the
importation of any lnxury during the war; it
provides by name a very long list to confine all
importations strictly to articles necessary. The
Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to pre
scribe the maximum prices at which oertain
artioles shall be made, Ac. The same committee
reported back to the Senate the resolutions of the
Georgia Legielature favoring the appointment es
citizens not liable to military service to act as
impressing agents. The committee unanimously
approved the measure, ond hoped the Secretary
of War would .adopt It. The Senate wont into

Paris, (fYsmce,) Dec. 4.—As was pre
dicted by us ail in Paris, the Confederates
have been able to obtain another ship for
their navy in England. This time those
sharp-practice gentlemen have actually
managed to buy a ship from the English
Government itself; that is, from the Ad
miralty, and to bring it boldly into a French
port. The farce of sending down a tele
gram just after she had sailed was dulv
gone through with, but it will be very
hard to convince the public that the whole
affair was not connived at by people high
in power, for, after the purchase of the
ship (the Victor, now the Rappahannock.)
she was allowed to be taken into dock and
be repaired.
Avery brisk correspondence has been
going on between Mr. Drouyu de l’Huys,
relative to the detention of the Confederate
steamer, but it is to be supposed that the
French Government will take no steps to
prevent her from going out, which will at
last be merely a precedent to justify the
fitting out of Mexican privateers in our

A Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Tiroes, says t
•Genera} Butler is vain enough to fancy
that he can effect an arrangement by which
tho exchange of prisoners can be resumed.
Some other Union officer, whose antece
dents are i»ot quite so offensive as those of
Butler, might be able to effect that desira
ble object. Butler never can. One thing,
however, is certain. Runaway slaves, or
free negroes from the North, will never be
recognized as soldiers at the South ; and
as long as the administration persists in its
insane attempts to make negroes the equals
of our brave white soldier-, so long must
our unfortunate comrade languish iu pti
son.
The administration were warned, when
they began this negro sodier business, how
it would result—that the Confederate au
thoiities would never recognize negroes as
soldiers, but would, on the other hand, ei
ther kill them at once, or else sell them back
into slavery, and hang any white man lead
ing them to rob or murder their masters,

never having studied Franco, pressel farther, aud was
iastantly killed. It is never too late to learn.
Those disposed to be turtd radically, may come to

what is exactly French, with true French aoseut, may

Jfetel Attending Physician Gratis. —Almost ail Ihe
Hotels have adopted the European system of having
an attending physician at hems, gratis,fortbe inmates
and ttavelers. This is a great convenience for those
that stay at the hotel, where they may have the at
tendance ol an experienced physician, all the time by
day and night gratis,
If tbe idea suits any proprietor of a Hotel in this
city, or another quarter, he may dispose of my medi
cal seivioes.
The s >le object of the medical science is to cure the
sick, Thd best physic an is the physician of the liv
ing, not the Physician of the dead. When you leel
unwell, come to me, I will cure you; leave behind
yeur faise modesty, and tell me youi private dis
eases.
A few words to the old folks :
Mankind la composed of body and soul, so we must
take great care oi the nature oftnebody.es of thena
tuie ofthe mind. Growing old, strength glides away
shortly, but my medicine U immortal; it is the ruler
of nature, tbe mind, and governor of the passion The
faculties of natuie after thirty years, and sometimes
sooner, eomuesce to fell progressively; Iheiefore.it ie
necessary a powerful excitart to rise up and invigorate
nature, otherwise life ie if no use to mankind My
medicine is a good thing, always infallible as it ie
harmless. I myself tin a living emblem of is vir
tues; fori aut re.liy what 1 was in tbe prime of youth.
Finally, as there is a beginning in every thing in our
nature, so there is an end of.tbe good of he body and
mind; but then, while we live let us live. My medi.
cine is given in pills, in liquid or in powders. I have
sold already ten tnousand copies ot the prescription.
To those persons whose private diseases have not
been cured, I would say, try the oil Doctor.
The Age of /ifason.— Several generations havepess"
ed away siuerr the Age of Reason, by Thou. Payne,
was printed in this country under tbe auspices of Pres,
dent Jefferson, the intimate fiiead of Payne. The
Age of Reason is a book for tbe wise and the fools;
therefore it is U r all. At present there is not a single
copy lor sale in America or in Europe. I have a
Srinied copy for sale. Anew edition of tbe Age of
easvn will give the publisher two hundred rhoutand
dollars in a moment. Millions of people nevtr read his
wonderful literary work, the Age of Reason by Thoa.
Payne.
AnAtlieiat is a man whe denies God. Thos Payne
in bis Age of Reason, reasons like an Atheist.auhough
President, Thus. Jefferson, used tn say that Thomas
Payne was a Deist,not an Atheist. Anyhow, 1 de
test the Atheist, because Ia in a true believer in God,
the Creator ol all the creation; but still the Age of
Reason is a powerful book, of great curiosity. I am
not sorry to have read it, for knowledge, good or bad,
is always knowledge.
