have great hopes of escape, though
not apprehensive at the time of cap
ture, as our scouts, ten picked' men,
were explicit that no Federal* were'
near ana that pickets were out. Both
of these were errors. On the night
of the 9th I was very much worn out
with travel and watching, and lay
down at the foot of a pine tree to
sleep.
Just at gray dawn Mr. Davis’ser
vant awakedme. He said: “Colonel,
do you hear that tiring?" 1 sprang
up and said, “Run and wake the
President." He did so. Hearing
nothing asT pulled, ,6u, ip £ boots, 1
walked to the camp tire, some (Ifth 6t

Jim was not mistaken. At tills mo
ment 1 saw eight of ten men charging
down the road toward me. I thought
they were guerillas trying to stamp
ede our slock. I ran to my saddle
where I had slept, and began uufiist-
cning Uic bolster to get out Illy re

me. Three men rode up and demand
ed my pistol, which as soon us 1 got
out I gave up to the lender, a bright,
slim, soldierly fellow, dressed in Con
federate gray clothes. 'Hie same man.
I believe, captured Colonels Wood
and Ludhork just after. One of my
captors ordered me to the eatnp lire
ami stood guard ovc me. t soon be
came aware that they were Federal*.
In the meantime the tiring went on.
After about ten minutes, maybe
more, my guard left me, and I walk
ed over io Mrs. Davis* tent, about fif
ty yards oil'. Mrs. Davis was iu great
distress. I said to the President, who
was sitting outside «n a camp stool.

So now in regard to farmers and
farming. Corn planting is over and
I observe and undorsfaiid, it good
deal has been consigned to the nour
ishing care of mother earth, and I al
ready hear of some being up. (Isl
and wheat, are looking splendidly, and
no doubt if we experience proper
seasons will make an abundant yield.
Cotton/heavily manured with guano,
is receiving considerable attention.
While other erops, such as cane and
potatoes, particularly cane, are re
ceiving more attention than for a
good time heretofore. To say Un
icast, much diversity of crops is no
ticeable. Let us hope thnt providence
will smile upon the efforts of our
farmers so that they may make good
crops and throw otf the galling yoke
of debt that oppresses most id' them.
Mr. Thos. Hammond has eight acre*
of corn planted, from which lie ex
pects to realize fifty bushels per acre.
It is heavily manured aud as nicely
planted as a garden. Xo doubt lie
will succeed, for lie is one of our omst
persevering farmers, and is general-*
ly successful in all his undertakings.
Xow, I want to tell yon something in
regard to the farming exploits of Mr.
S. W. Walton, who, by the way, is one
of your new subscribers. Mr. W. is
one of our most valnuble farmer*.—
His urihs are full; his pen pens would
remind you of mile helium times: hi*

having killed 2,500 lbs'of pork the
last winter, in fattening of which lie
did not use live bushels of corn after
gathering. He fed them ou Jtirnips,
potatoes and other products of his in
dustry, minus the corn, lie dried up
enough lard to last him three years,
besides making cotton enough to pay
ali outstanding indebtedness arid har
ing enough left to prevent him -from
going in debt for anything the _ pres
ent year. Surh items as tills are worth
recording, last other* follow his ex
ample. Our farmers are learning lmw
to economize, learning lmw to value
their earnings, and the momentous
value of taking care of the dimes.—
With good crops, plenty of silver and
a Democratic President in 1880, our
country will reach a height of pros
perity never before known. Then lei
invstrive to make it thus; let us in
voke Ihe Divine Creator’s clemency ;
ask him to bless our farmers with good
seasons; give our statesmen flic *n-

love of country only equaled hv that

soon as let out early in the morning.
By having the yard fence high ^|Il

of them not much over two mouth*

too close, the lambs will do well, add
after they arc a few weeks old there
should be a place tor feeding thetn
separate from the sheep. They will
thus improve very rapidly and soon
be matkctablc. A pen made of polts
across the sheep yard, accessible to
the lambs and not to the aheep, will
answer the purpose.

We trust our frequent allusion to
sheep will be excused for the reason
it is a subject we feel a deep interest
in, atul one that should engage more
the attention of farmers. The wire

the hilly lands of Xotth Georgia, amd
tlie Bermuda covered lands of middle
