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. OCONEE VOLUNTEERS. This company has received orders to joiu Gen.

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.

After the burial ceremonies, the Lodge, re-as sembled, when the following preamble, and.resolu- tious were presented by tho Committee appointed for the purpose, and the same were unanimously adopted: YVhekeas, Death has again invaded our ranks, aud taken thence our worthy brother James Her- ty. therefore, Resolccd, That, while we morn the loss of a brother, we bow in humble submission to the will of our Supreme Grand Master, who “doeth all things well.” Resolretl, That the widow and orphans of our dectased brother, have our heartfelt sympathy iu this their sad bereavement. Resolred, That we will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.. Resolred, That a copy of these resolutions be handed to the family of our deceased brother— and that they be entered on our minutes, and that our city papers be requested to publish them. L. CARRINGTON, ) T. J. MICKLEJOHN, >Com. GEO. D. CASE, S 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. Lieut. John B. Fair, Scrgt.

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, Jo HAW IlABTttlHGe. j ES 7- Friends indebted to the Recorder Office for subscription or otherwise residing in the counties of I.aurrus, Jones, Pulaski, Montgomery,Tattnall and Telfair, are respectfully informed that they will havean opportunity of settling up with one of the proprietors at their approaching courts, now near at hand. They will please be prepared for our visit. Milledgeville, October 1, 1861. 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. Ixe6#t or’sSate.

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. M. Y T . YV. :r\s house of MEM- the ap- m E. S.
