Cleveland, of Kuwait county, is now eighty-four years oh’. During his life ho Ims never bought a pound of bacon, corn or Hour. All theso articles ho raises on his own farm. 'Phis sumo Captain Clevi 11 ml has a grand-son living in this county, six miles from Ccdartown, IIo camo there from Stewart county about live years ago, bought a small farm for eight hundred dollars, wo hcliovc, on tiino. IIo has made enough on the placo io pay for it, besides ac cumulating an abundance of stock of all kinds on his farm. Jfo has done this by following in the footsteps of his father, in raising an abund ance of everything needed on ids farm, besides having a little to sell to his neighbors. IHh cotton crop has bceu dear {fain overy year after the Ural. If all our farmers would adopt this plan of raising every thing they and their stock consume, and reduce the production of cotton onohftlf, it would bring about as much money, and it would bo clear money. This is no wild thoory, "on paper," but is a fact which has been fully demonstrated, and which no one will deny, but fou nd upon it. A Washington dispatch snya: Mr. Carpenter, Internal Hevcmn Collector for tim Third South Carolina District, arrived in that city on Tuesday, and tnailo application at the Internal Itev- onuo llurcau for troopa to aid in col lecting the whisky lax in his district. Ho states that illicit distillation is car ried on in tho most llagrant manner and that /Jvo hundred nations of con traband whisky aro sold daily in tho most open mauncr. Two deputy Marshals wore recently killed, lie nays, by tho whisky venders. In reviewing tho government sta tistics for tho year 1871, tho Southern Prosbyltrinn Huviow extracts oouio startling figures as to tho coot of va rious articles. Of those wo reproduoo throe: "Salaries of ministers of t!:o Gospel, $0,000,000; cost <1 tobacco and cigars,$010,000,000; cost of liquor $2,000,200,0001 ’ ITit ly strong, this, and it would go to show that tho peo ple of this country value tobacco ami liquor above all other things. Tlic New Attorney (•eneiul. Judge Edwards Piorrepont is too wealthy, too respectable ami loo good a lawyer to dcBOOiul to tho arts that characterized Williams’ conduct of nHairs in tho South. IIo is ono of (1 rant’s personal adherents, and doubtless owes*his appointment to a subscription of $20,000 to the famous fund that was raised by the admirers of tho illustrious gift-taker. Hut lu: is a New Yoik lawyer of prominence and great wealth, and will probably make as fair an attorney-general as the m a ssities of tho party will permit, lie is fifty eight years old, and has tho icputntion of being a lawyer of groat acuteness and oratorical strength During tho war ho was known as a war Democrat. Of nil tho men men tioned in commotion with the vacan cy, he is the best, and wo may reason ably expect that, under bis control, partisanship will no longer outrank justice in tho southern judicial dis tricts. Not that thcro will bo fair piny, for Giantism is so constituted fra to render that impossible, but that c.’uupnrativoly speaking, matters will l>o l "-tiered. Tho expenses of dis tricts like tho ono in western Arkan sas and the one in North Carolina, will bo brought into reasonable limits, and the scaudulous outflow of the public money for partisan purposes to seine extent checked. Wo shall not condemu him in advaucc, but shall trustingly hope that a man of his disposition and prominence and legal talents will not let the otlieo stay in tho depths that ho will liud it. He Oftu’t be worse than Williams, and ho may bo better.—At. * nijituii >n. When you aro iu (Aduitown. and want something good to eat, go to IV. 11.

Hut sinco your "proof" thuL a judicious t so of fertilizer!! will pay, is so conclusive, that it may mis* loud sonic of us little farmors, J will say a few words about it and answer your question. I only intended my calculation on tho sixty acres of cot ton with four mules as an illustration of tho |K;sition taken; and in that supposed that tho mules should muko corn, oats, wheat etc., to sustain tho farm: so I only estimated tho money product from tho use of guano on cot ton. In your figuring you seem to do tho sumo thing, and add clover us a money crop. Your "scheme" is c.-r- tainly a very pretty ono. It reminds mo of a remark mado by a cultivated friend of mine, who had bceu ruined in schools and colleges, and spent most of his life iu literary pursuits, knowing but littlo of practical furm- farming. A few years ago ho figured out, on jKijur, that ho could make twelve hundred dcllanj to tho hand on a farm by planting a good deal of clover and some cotton, wheat, outr, potatoes, turnips, ole., as subsidiary crops. Ho bought somo land, muloi. tools and supplies, hired hands and wont to woi k with fifteen acres fm each undo already seeded in clov r. At tho ond of two yours, finding that ho had sunk nearly all of his capital, ho sold out and quit. Ju talking over his failure lo mo, ho laid out bin ,l f( heme" on paper to me, but it lmd not proven a success. I naked him what ho thought of it now, and lie replied: "Well, my urlum. has the rare excellence of being a beautiful one on paper, even though, in practice, it 1ms utterly failed to moot the ex pectations tlmt were based upon wlmt m ined to bo almost a mathematical demonstration.” So with your figures. I think they partake largely of • <o Intauligul on ]• i- I*t. I have uovc r known any body to como up to them iu practice. And tho reasonable conclusion is, it can not be done. If you can take two mules, and after making corn onougl to supply them and Iniiulu, and then make $11050, you can take my hat, certain. I will agree to furnish the iia my lands, mules and tools for I hi half of it, smartly reduced. While it may possibly be done with money and labor both put iu freely, nobody docs it with your net profits. Many farmers nro disponed to be too.-.an guine, catch at such calculation!! and fail.

Wo should not consider so much, can it bo made to pay . as r/.» wo make it pay? Does tho country at largo m ku it pay? I will repeat my reply to your lowing que:.lion, and nay, I have nr- r known any person to roalizo your fig ures, or anything like thorn, ami don’t bcliovo it can be tliil. U.
