ROPE-BAGGING.
As Kentucky bale rope is now worth 20 cents
pr pound, would it not be well for the planters to
inaiifacturc cotton rope on their plantations!
They might tiud it to their advantage to make the
nperiioent
Vts, by all means, iu our humble judgment.
Why should the planter pay twenty cents per
i for rope to pack his cotton with, when he
prts under present circumstances nothing for his
lotion, and under the most favorable, not more than
at that amount per pound ? There is no common
Kiise iu the planter paying exorbitant prices for
n imported article when he has a substitute in
tie very material he proposes selling. The con
sumption of cotton in the making of rope, aud we
would add bagging, diminishes the amount of cot-
Uthrown into market and consequently, just iu
iat ratio, increases the market value of the com*
iiodity. Let practical men at once act. If our
ktories will not buy up the staiued aud refuse
‘otton and make bagging aud rope on a fair per
tentage, let the old fashioned spinning wheels,
aids and looms be once more reinstated on all
^stations. If the present war continues, we will
^compelled another year, whether we want or
wf,to do as suggested.

H«w Farmers can Serve their Country.
BY i. A. TURNER.
All of us cannot go to war. How can we who
stay at home, serve our country? By providing
food and other supplies for our soldiers in the field.
At least this is the way we farmers can do our coun
try good service.
So far as my observation extends, the good work
has been commenced here, in Putnam, in the supe
rior turnip patches which overy where greet my
eyes. I have never seen our farmers bestow so
much labor and attention upon their turnips ; and
well have their labors been repaid. Better crops
of these roots were never before seen iu this sec
tion.
A good many of our farmers have adhered to the
old fashioned way of sowing their seed, broad-cast.
But even these, by superior ploughing, aud better
than usual preparation, have made a marked ad
vance upon the old, careless, slip-shod method of
raising turnips. Others of our farmers have adopt
ed the David Dickson plan of sowing, as it is term
ed. I hat is, they sow their seed in drills about
three feet apart, after having made their land very
lich, and then plough and hoe them, as they do
cotton. This is the proper way to raise turnips.—
It is as old as Mathuselah, aud did not originate
wi.h Mr. Dickson. But it his superior energy and
skill can make our people adopt improved methods
of culture, he ought to be entitled to have his name
associated with them.
Our farmers, all ovor the country, have com
menced the good work in another way. They have
saved a good deal of hay, this season. Next sea
son, they will save more, the next more, aud so on,
until they get to saving as much as they ought.—
k ou have but.to get a people started to making
hay, aud the high percent it will pay upon the
outlay ot labor, will induce them to continue, and
increase their efforts. Then it is such easy work
tor us to make it. \\ r e don’t have to sow our grass
tor the purpose ot making hay. It grows sponta
neously ; aud we may try hard to kill it all the sum
mer, and then enough will survive, to make us a
better hay crop, in the fall, than the New England
ers can gather from their sterile hills. YVe have
unmeasured acres of crab grass, crow-foot, and
saw-grass that grow voluntarily, to our hand, for
hay, without any effort on our part. By saving it,
when it has grown, we eau serve our country.
Next, we ought to sow a great deal of rye, for
live stock ot all kinds. The best time to sow it,
for winter grazing, has passed. It should have
been sown in September. But it is not too late
now, to sow rye. The sooner it is done though,
the better. The writer has a field of 40 acres seed
ed in this graiu the latter part of last month, all
prettily up, and on which a sheep could now get a
good living. But he will not get it, however, un
til all the green spontaneous grasses are nipped
down by John Frost, Esq. Then the sheep, iu com
pany with the calves, may have their nip at the
rye.
There is no telling the advantage of raising rye.
The first and paramount advantage is, that it will
grow well on laud which will not much more than
sprout the other cereals. Our old woru-out fields
may all be used to advantage in growing rye. An
other advantage which rye has over wheat is, that
pigs may graze it all w inter, and it will not cause
the premature decay of their caudal and auricular
appendages. Iu other words, it will not cause their
ears and tails to rot off - , as wheat does. A third ad
vantage which rye has over wheat is, that it is not
so apt to scour lambs, calves and colts as the for
mer graiu. Then it may be mentioned that rye, in
common with wheat, makes first-rate bread. The
batter-cakes it makes are every way equal, if not
superiorto those made of buck-wheat. Then in the
absence of coffee, it makes a pretty good substitute
as a beverage, to say nothing of its capacity for
supplying George D. Prentice aud others with
good old Bourbon. Then il rye is so good to sup
ply man and beast with edibles aud bibibles—(this
last word is my coining)—aud if it can be grown
well upon poor land, we can serve our country by
raising a great deal of rye.
An acre or two of barley, on the best laud you
cau supply by heavy manuring or cow-penning,
deserves the patriot’s attention. Barley, on good
laud, produces largely to the acre for grazing or
soiling. Some say it is much better thau wheat for
these purposes. This is a mooted poiut: but bar
ley aud wheat are both certainly richer than rye,
and stock are fonder of it. But for the kiuds of
stock inentioued in the preceding paragraph, for
the reasons given, rye is preferable to wheat and
barley. And let it be remembered, all the time,
that rye will associate luxuriantly with soil, at
which its more aristocratic neighbors, barley and
wheat, particularly, the former would turn up their
uoses with the most supreme contempt. Never
theless, I think it better always to sow au acre or
two of barley.
YVe cau serve our country, too, by sowing a
groat many winter oats, and Bpring oats also. As
a forage plant, after4bey are cut aud cured, oats
have no superior.
The season to sow wheat is upon us. From the
middle of October to the middle of November is a
good time to sow this grain ; and I have known
good crops made from wheat sown in December.
It requires extra land, though, to make good crops
from this grain sown in the twelfth mouth.
Iu sowing wheat, we ought to sow for our own
families, for our soldiers, aud for our beasts. There
is no telling how much corn may be saved by sow
ing wheat to cut aud give our plough stock, from
the time it gets high enough to cut with a reap
hook, to the end of the plough season. I know a
great mauy farmers think they can't begin to cut
wheat for stock until headed out, aud the grain in
the dough. But this is not my experience. That
induces me to believe that you may feed stock
with wheat, to advantage, before it heads out, and
after it is ripe enough to harvest. One large and
successful planter tells me he prefers wheat to bar
ley for feeding mules and horses, eveu before the
wheat begins to head out.
Then let us sow large crops of small grain this
fall aud next spring : not only large crops, but very
large crops. And when we go to plant our corn,
let us put just twice as much ground in corn as we
do in cotton. Thus we will have two or three ; if
uot three or four times as much land iu corn aud
small graiu, as we have in cotton. Aud this is em
inently proper. For what is the use ot raising cot
ton, if we can’t sell it ? And will any one be base
enough to eouaive with Lincoln to make cotton au
exception to tho blockade ? If such a man live,
let him be doubly danued. Not that I wish the
blockade raised, fori consider that ablessing. But
Lincoln shall never say to us what we shall export,
and what wc shall not. He shall not prevent our
trading iu other things, and then carry off - our cot
ton to conciliate England and France, lie shall
exercise no dominion over us.
But to return.—There is one particular point to
which I wish to call the attention of our farmers :
aud that is that our summers have become too dry
—too much addicted to the bad habit of total ab
stinence from rain—for us to depend so much upon
the corn crop as we have done heretofore, for food
for man aud beast. God sends us rain iu the win
ter, at least. Let us use the showers Ho so boun
tifully bestows upon us at that season, to raise win
ter crops. Let us plant corn enough, besides, to
bicad man and beast. Then if we make double
crops of bread-stuffs—one a winter and one a sum
mer crqp, so much the better. So much the bet
ter if we do it every year. Then we cau raise our
own mules, horses, cows, hogs, and sheep : not on
ly make our plough stock aud meat, but our wool:
aud tbcu we can mauufacture that wool too, which
is a different brauch of the subject though, and
which I must leave for the present. If we have
any surplus grain, we cau export it: for Southern
wheat particularly, commands a premium iu any
market of the world, over Northern or YVestcru
wheat.
Now to carry on this war, we want an abund
ancc of bread, an abundance of meat, and an abun
dance of wool—also forage for our cavalry and our
teams. If we sow and plant the grain as I
Lave suggested, we make the bread and forage cer
tain, because we take a chance for a winter crop,
and one for a summer crop. YVe Lave a third chance,
too, tor forage, in the spontaneous grasses which
grow all over the country, to make hay. Even if
it doesn’t rain any in the summer, there is enough
waste marsh land at the South, whose moisture in
the dog days of a torrid drouth, grow enough grass
to make a large hay crop.—And here let me say,
incidentally, that our farmers ought to save all their
wheat, oat, rye aud barley straw. Stock will cat it
'veil, particularly if cut with a straw-cutter, then
moistened with salt water, and allowed to stand un
til the whole mass is a little softened. The forage
resources of the South are boundless, if only hus
banded. Farmers, let us serve our country aud
ourselves, by taking care of it. Vet I have men
tioned only a part ot our forage resources, to which
I may add fodder, shucks corn-field and goober
pea vines, sweet potato vines, pea-hulls, chaff,
&c., &c.
But we want meat, as well as bread aud forage.
By raising largegrain crops, we can raise the meat.
Even for next year, we can produce a great deal
more meat than otherw ise will be produced, if W’e
neglect our resources. The abundance of our corn
crops will allow us to take a small hog now, and
by feeding him well until the close of the winter,
we can make a large hog of him. Our farmers
ought to feed all their hogs until they will weigh
2U0. Some one may say, it will take too much of
our corn, and we shall be stinted in feeding our
plough stock next summer. My answer is, sow
enough wheat aud oats, this fall, to make such a
contingency impossible.
By providing bountiful grain and forage crops,
we can raise a great many more cows and sheep al
so. I bus we shall have beef and mutton for our
army’s food, shoes for our soldier’s feet, aud wool
tor their backs. There is great complaint of a
scarcity of wool aud woolen clothing in the South.
If every farmer will winter his sheep well the com
ing season, by supplying for them a bountiful pro
vision ot turnips and rye, with as much dry graiu
as he eau spare, he can uot only double the quan
tity of wool at next spring’s clipping, but be can,
by continuing the good treatment of his sheep,
shear them the second time, in the fall, next year.
By providing an abundance of food with sjielter
tor our flocks, we can make three or four times as
much wool as we otherwise would make.
But there is another consideration urging the ne
cessity of large grain crops. YVe want mules aud
horses tor our cavalry, for our baggage wagons and
our artillery trains. Let us feed our mares well,
and go to raising colts, aud if these should come
on too late for this war, they will be ready for the
next. In order to retain our independence, we have
got to be ready for any cmorgeucy.
Thus I have shown how we may secure the nec
essaries of life. As to the luxuries, let them go to
the devil. There is danger of our becoming too
effeminate any way. One of the advantages of this
war is to make us more Spartan in our manners
and habits.
By producing an abundance of all the necessa
ries of life, we shall deprive those cursed Othellos
of their occupation, whose business it is to grow
tat off of the misfortunes of their country. I al
lude to those men, particularly those merchants, all
over the land, who arc engaged in speculating in
provisions of all sorts. I want it understood that
my remarks are not intended to apply to all of the
mercantile profession. Many of them, most of
them, are actiug nobly and generously in the good
cause. But I do intend to denounce those who are
seeking to wring from the hard hands of our peas
antry aud our soldiery all their hard earnings, by
selling them corn, bacon, lard, coffee aud provi
sions of all sorts, at au advance of from 190 to 500
per cent upon what they cost them, aud when they
paid for them, too, with money due Northern mer
chants. All that I regret about our sequestration
Act is that there is not a clause in that law, requir
ing every man who holds Northern funds, to an
swer upon oath what per cent he has made upon
the investment of those funds iu his unholy spec
ulation in provisions, with judgment to be entered
up against him for his profits as well as his princi
pal, not principle, for lie has none, of that. Then
we would have a record of unparalleled enormity,
or, as an alternative, some remarkably tall swear
ing. YVhat makes this nefarious practice worse is,
that some of the men engaged iu it are very liberal
iu their showings upon subscription lists, so as to
seek to hide the utter deformity of their moral tur
pitude. But what do 1 give the soldiery, if with
one baud I subscribe to them $500 “to be seeu of
men” and, with the other, filch from their pockets
$5,000 iu ungodly prices charged them for the
prime necessaries of life ?
So great lias this iniquity become that iu Ala
bama Gov. Moore has issued a proclamation a-
gainst it. In Charleston, the papers are denounc
ing it, in no measured terms. Iu New Orleans the
authorities have seized certain provisions aud com
pelled the peculating speculators to take reasonable
and patriotic prices for them. A paragraph iu a
late newspaper is to the effect that “the N. O. Pic
ayune says—and thousands say also—that it is not
legitimate, and indeed but little short of traitorous,
in times like these, to make the scarcity of necessi
ties the basis of heavy advances in prices.” The
Charleston Mercury denounces the traitorous spec-
ular-rs with less stint thau the Picayune. The peo
ple aud press all over the land are becoming clam
orous against the great outrage which abounds to
our shame as a people- It will be well tor the spec
ulators if they escape with only licariug a clamor.
But as a conclusion of the whole matter, let us,
farmers of the South, put it out of the power of
these great sinners to harm us and our country, by
producing for ourselves, aud our army, a great
abundance of provisions. Let us have plenty, if
wc can’t have peace. Let us go manfully to work
iu the direction I have indicated hoping for a spee
dy close of the war, but preparing to wage it for
ten, or, if need be, for fifty years.

culation, relative to my resignation. I dissolved
connected with the 11th Georgia Regiment from
physical inability, and from no other cause. I re
gret the cause Which occasioned the separation, I
never shrank from the duties imposed upon me by
my office, nor would I. I bad presumed that I had
satisfied my friends concerning my resignation,
and it ia through their pursuasion that I desire to

ization of the regiment. The responsible position
assigned to us by the Y'oluntecrs of the 14th Regi

every day on business of great importance, that I
regard you already as a true and tried freind.—
Your deportment towards all the ineu of the Regi

your strict attention to all duties assigned you,
has already secured for you my confidence and es

Camp Jackson, Y'a., October 9th, 1861.
At a called meeting of the Baldwin Blues, held
on Monday evening. 7th inst., Lieut. Samuel Mc-
Combiu the Chair, a committee was appointed to
prepare resolutions relative to the death of Private
Walter B. Cushing, which committee subse
quently reported the following, which were unani
mously adopted :
YVhereas this Company is again called to mourn
the loss of one of its members in the demise of
private YY 7 aller B. Cushing, who died at the Naval
Hospital, near Portsmouth, Va.. on Friday morn
ing, 4th inst., of typhoid fever, it becomes our
mournfully pleasing duty to give some public ex
pression of our feelings on the sad occasion.
Himself a native Georgian, and the descendant
of Southern-born ancestors, bis young heart was
tired with just indignation against the oppressors
ot his native land, and he laid his services and his
life a willing and patriotic sacrifice on the altar of
his country’s wrongs. Modest and retiring in his
disposition, he had uo ambitious aspirations to
subserve, but sought solely to promote bis coun
try’s weal. A cheerful aud pleasant companion,
prompt and efficient in the discharge of his duties
as a soldier, his loss will be deeply felt by every
member of this Company, aud by many other
friends; while to his surving parent aud other rel
atives in Milledgeville, the intelligence of ltis de
cease lias brought such an overwhelming sense of
keen distress, as time aud the consolations of Di
vine Grace alone can assuage. Be it, therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of private Walter
B. Cushing, while as a Company we would sub
missively acknowledge the Divine Authority, we
nevertheless deeply lament the loss of a worthy
companion, aud a patriotic and faithful brother-
iu-arms.
Resolved, That our wannest sympathy and con
dolence arc hereby tendered to the bereaved rela
tives of the deceased, aud the Secretary is in
truded to transmit a copy of these proceedings to
stlie bereaved family.
Resolved, That these proceedings be entered on
the minutes of this Company, and that the news
papers of Milledgeville be requested to publish
tiie same.

Voters of the First Congressional District.
FcUotc-Citize.ns : The Convention which assem
bled at Blackshear on the 9th inst., did me the hon
or to nominate me as a candidate to represent the
First Congressional District in the First Congress
of the Confederate States, under the permanent
Constitution.
I have accepted tho nomination, and am before
you as a caudidate for your suffrages.
It lias been the custom heretofore for a caudi
date for Congress to visit the different portions of
the District, and meet bis fellow-citizens in person,
in order that he might make them acquainted with
the political principles he professed, or the line of
part}* policy he would putsue in the event of his
election. A due respect for the people he desired
to represent rendered such a course highly proper;
and the requirements ot party made it expedient.
Even now, when all party lines have been obliter
ated, aud a whole people stand united iu the same
cause, aud with all their energies directed to the
attainment of but one object—Independence,—de
ference to the natural desire of the constituent to
become personally acquainted with his Representa
tive, would induce me to visit, iu person, the dif
ferent Counties of the District, were I not pre
vented from doing so by circumstances over which
I have no control.
For sometime past I have been, and I still am,
in the military service of the country. It will not
be necessary for me, if elected, to take my seat in
Cong-ess until the last of February next. But in
the meantime, it wold be improper and highly rep
rehensible in me to leave the post which lias been
assigned me, at a time when au attack upon our
coast is most to be apprehended. I feel assured,
therefore, that my fellew-citizens of the District,
when they learn the cause which induces me to
forego the pleasure of visiting them in person, will
excuse, what might otherwise appear to be, a want
of respect for themselves. As there are no princi
ples of party politics involved in the pending elec
tion, there can be no difference of opinion between
my opponent and myself. No true Southern man
can now advocate any other policy than one which
looks to the attainment of a permanent and final
separation from the North. Any other course, auy
other desire, even would be a betrayal of the con
fidence reposed in him, and insult to the memory
of the dead who have sacrificed themselves to se
cure our independeuce, aud should briug down
upon (lie head of him who advocates or desires it,
the curses of the parents, widows and orphans
whose dearest hopes and affections have been off
ered up upon the altar of their country’s liberty.
As to what political questions will arise after the
attainment ot our independence, it would be pre
mature now to speak. The course that your Rep
resentative should then pursue as to our internal
policy or foreign relations, must be left to time to
develop.
Should you elect my opponent to the position to
which I aspire, I shall bow in respectful submis
sion to the popular will; feeling confident that the
Representative of your choice will bring to the
discharge of the duties devolving upon him, a high-
toned integrity aud a spirit of patriotism iu which
I can claim no superiority over him. If, on the
other hand, it should be your pleasure to ratify the
action of the late Convention, and make me. your
Representative in Congress, I can only promise
you that whatever of intellect I may possess, all
my energies, all my efforts, shall be used and di
rected to subserve the interests of the District, the
State, aud the Confederacy-
Your fellow-citizcu,

A Word to our Subscribers-
YY'e are sending off to our subscribers a state
ment of tlieir indebtedness to us, aud hope that
those of our readers who receive our circular, will
remit us the amount due as soon as possible. Our
expenses are heavier thau usual, as we are paying
more for paper, ink, &c., and those of our subscri
bers who arc two years and more behind must not
now expect to get the paper at the advance price.
The small amounts due from eaeh of our readers if
sent, will enable us readily to meet our indebted
ness, as our paper bills &c., arc cash, and we are
now in need of ready funds. A number of papers
in the State have been compelled to publish on a
half sheet—some to curtail their size, and others
have suspended altogether. Several of the Dalies
have increased their price. YY'e desire to be forced
to no such necessity, as above mentioned, aud if
our subscribers will be prompt with us, we shall
continue to give them as large a paper as usual.—
Delay however, will force ns to charge our full cred
it rates, in every instance.
To those of our subscribers who have always been
prompt, we return our sincere thanks, as it is by
tiiat kind of patronage that we are enabled to sus
tain our paper.

MARRIED,
In Augusta, on the 17th inst. by the Rev. Mr.
Huntington, James Nathan Ells, Esq., editor of
the Southern Field and Fireside, to Mary, only
daughter of the late Foster Blodget, sen.
DIED,
At her residence in this county, on the 1 Ith ius‘.,
of paralysis, Mrs. Jane Banks, aged 74 ycars-
Mrs. Banks was born in Maryland, A D. 1787, and
removed with her parents whilst a child to Rowan
county, North Carolina; from thence she remov
ed to Georgia, A. D. 1817. She connected herself
with the primitive BapList Church iu the year
18*27, aud continued au exemplary and consistent
member of that church up to the time of her
death. She has left behind her a large circle of
friends aud relatives to mourn her death; but they
mourn not as those who have no hope, for we
know that if our house of this earthly tabernacle
were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house
uot made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
A FRIEND.
Departed this life. October 15th, 1861, at her
home in YY’ilkinson county, Mrs. Lamkntine
Jones. She was a member of the Baptist Church,
aud died in full triumph of faith. She left many
friends to weep over her; but our loss is her eter
nal gain.
Iu the Georgia Hospital, Richmond Y'irgiuia, of
typhoid fever, Jesse 8. Butts, sou of E. A. «fc S. A.
Butts, iu the 21st year of his age. The deceased
was a member of the Hancock Y'oluuteers, who
left several months ago to defend tlieir beloved
country from the invading foe, and no one iu that
noble baud possessed a more pure and unblemished
character thau him whose sad death we now re
cord ; nor could any one leave more true triends
to mourn their loss. A dutiful affectionate sou
and loving brother, lie was ever the idolofhis fam
ily, but with resignation they bow to the will of
the Almighty, aud feel that he has now entered a
haven of peace, where wars and rumors of wars
will never trouble bis noble spirit again. His
father was permitted to be with him iu his last mo
ments and bring his remains home to be interred
with his kindred dust, and no doubt tlieir united
voices are now singing enraptured praises iu the
paradise of God. One of his comrades in arms
was also with him in his illness, and be writes
home, that a better boy never lived in the perform
ance of his duties as a Christian aud soldier, and
just before bis death, he listened to one of the most
fevent soul stirring prayers ever uttered, as it came
from our departed friends lips. YY 7 e have every
evidence to believe that his beautified and happy
spirit, is now safe in the Mansion prepared for the
receptiou of all pure and heaven bom souls.
Yes dear Jesse thou has left us ;
And thy loss we deeply feel,
Bnt’tis God, who hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again, we hope to meet thee,
YY'dien the dream of Jife is past,
And iu heaven, we hope to greet thee,
YY'hereno farewell tear is shed.
