VOL. 111.
Make Corn,
Will the South ever learn anything ?
A French ovuic, upon the restoration of
the Bourbons, remarked : “ They have
forgotten nothing—they have learned
nothing.’ 1 Shall wo be subject-to the
same sarcasm ? Wbat can we do with
out corn ?
In the old (itne*, just before the great
crash of ’3t>-*37, when everybody was
run mad ou the subject of Cottou, just
ae we are now, a team —a poor, lean
mule team —was staggering up Main
street under a heavy load. The owner,
in a sort of apologetic way, remarked to
a knot of friends. “Upon my word, I
wish I did know what would fatten-my
mules. I’ve tried nux vomica and assa
feedita, and every sort of thing, and it
don't seem to do a particle of good.”
“ Did you ever try corn ?” quietly asked
the Diogenes of the party. “If not,
perhaps you had better try it.”
We would warn tho people to make
corn. Lessees don't seem to care about
it—they come to suck out the sub
stance, and then, like wild geese, emi
grate North with their craws full. See
to it, you lessors ; make it a sine qua
non that your lessees shall raise corn.
Your country demands it. A. full corn
crib is better than a full crib of any
other kind. Chickens, mules, darkies,
and every living thing rejoice in it.
Who have been the most successful
planters in old times ? The men of
corn.
We are astonished so hear sensible
men advising people to make cotton to
buy corn with. Even the old Indians
have got drunk. We know some targe
plantations that haven't got enough
shucks to make their horse collars. Os
course the owners of such places “ain’t
worth shucks.”
The startling announcement was made
in town yesterday, that there wasn’tasaek
of corn in town. Are we to have a famine?
It seems so, It we bow down to cotton
and worship it and neglect corn, we ar&
bound to end in famine. Would that
some Joseph could give us a lecture on
the subject 1 He is the only statesman,
of whom we ever heard, who got corned
in the right way. Look at your situa
tion. You are now, in military parlance
in a l, cttl du sac," made of gunny sacks.
You've got to borrow the money to buy
the corn ; you’ve got to feed the mules
to haul the coru ; you’ve got to pay the
driver to drive the mules to haul the
corn,- you have to grease the wagon,
etc., and yon can run oh in the style of
the “cow with the crumply horn,” and
pile up the disasters that spring from
empty corn cribs.
Don’t be satisfied with ordinary crops,
because we’ll have to begin to suck
roasting ears before the moustache is
off of them.
Let all the editors in our land raise
the corn song, and let the people join in
the chorus, .“raise corn !’’
Let us do it quick before uncle lias a
chance to tax us. It is the only thing
that isn’t stamped—that's one consola
tion.
It’s time for ns to speak out and warn
the people, plant corn ! May God bless
us next season with a cornucopia of
corn I —Natchez Courier.
The Care of Pianos. —lt should be
remembered that tbe pianoforte is
susceptible of the change of tempera
ture, and when tuned in one tempera
ture, will be out of tune in another.
Good and well made piano-fortes will
stand if they are tuned at proper
periods. Many people, as they wish
to avoid expense, will let their instru
ments remain long out of tune, which is
a great detriment to them, as they are
less likely to stand well after having
been so left. A piano-forte ought
justly to be tuned twice a year, at
least ; first, when you commence with
a fire in your room ; second, when a
fire is discontinued, liy following this
course you have the best guarantee
that the instrument will remain in tune
for the longest period of time. Again,
the instrument shouiij not lie suffered to
remain below concert pitch ; if it is for
years tuned below, it will never after
stand up to pitch without a great deal
of labor, if indeed it ever stands at all.
Many otherwise beautiful instruments
are nearly or quite ruined for want of
proper attention to these simple facts.
Yet it will not answer for a professional
tuner to recommend these things ; if lie
does, the people will suspect him imme
diately of selfish motives, and say that
he is planning for his own advantage.
Tijk Last or a Gi.okious Band.—
telegram announces the death, ac Edin
burg, Saratoga county, New York, of
Samuel Downing, the last surviving sol
dier who was actually under arms in
the war of the Revolution. Mr. Down
ing’s age has been stated at from 100 to
106, but we are not ahle to determine
the precise figure. He enlisted in New
Hampshire, near the close of the war,
and after peace found his way to New
York, in which State lie lived tor more
than half a century. There have been
a dozen or more of “last of the pension
ers," but we presume that the decease
of this well known citizen closes the
list, and that there is not now a man
living who actually bore arms in our
great straggle for liberty. Sixty seven
years have gone by since Washington
died, and lie was almost the first (not
slain in batlle) to lead the long array
ot patriots whose glorious line is fin
ished by the departure of Samuel Down
ing.— N. Y. Timm.
Eccentric Pkayek. —ln a work enti
tled “English Eccentricities,” recently
published in London, may be found the
following extempore prayer attributed
by the author to a certain Mr. Ward :
“Lord, thou kuowest that I possess
nine houses in the city of Loiidou, and
that I have recently bought an estate in
the County of Essex. Preserve, there
fore, I pray Thee, the two Counties of
Middlesex and Essex from fires and
earthquakes, and as I have an hypothe
cated estate in Hertfordshire, look also
in compassion upon that County; as to
the other portions of the county, do us
Thou wjit. Lord, consolidate the Royal
Bank that it may honor its notes. Let
all my debtors he or become honest men.
Give a prosperous and Bpeedy passage
to the sloop Mermaid, for the insurance
of which I am responsible. Preserve
me Irotn robbers ana brigands. Make
all my servants faithful and devoted,
that they may watch over my interests
aud relax not their deliaence by day or
•ty night."
A petition is being prepared in At
anta, for the removal of the mint at
‘ *“‘ouega to the former city.
