Our Sort of Farmer. Mr John Bonner of Carroll coun* ty is our sort of a farmer. We have some few ,. of , the ,, same sort . in r. liar, is ■ county and we are glad to believe iht'ir number is yearly increasing, In theCarrollton Times of last week Mr. Bo nr. n r says; — We are about done work a id done threshing. Wheat is hardly a half crop and oats about trie same on poor ground. The sample of wheat laid upon yoitr taple was sown the ‘2nd of March on low black bottom and out tbe 6th ot July, find no rust. Tbe sample of forward rust proof oats was sown the 1st of March on low wet bottom ir.l cat the 18th of June and no rust. If any of our farmers want forward rust proof oatB to sow, I can share 1,00b bushels. I have cotton breast high, with., out gnaho, plenty cif roasting ears in the corn field, without guano.— I ain still selling corn, meat, lard and flour. When the fall ol the year comes I shall owe nothing for guaho, nothing for meat or fiour,i nor dry goods nor groceries. I have plenty of good bogs to make plenty of meat, 400 acres iii a good pasture for my sheef) and hogs and cattle and horses and mules to range over. JMy experi¬ ence is, that w'itn plenty of corn you have plenty of everything else, fat bogs, horses, males, and chick¬ ens. 1 s'lift’l plant otie acre in corn he'd beans, squashes tint! spec' led peas Tuesday the 12 h of July, if not proyidcniially hin lered. Have planted as iato as the 17th of July, liad roasting ears and beans fend peas and cucumbers till fro«t. J hope our far in era will the nrxi year buy less guaTro, h-'ss corn and tneai, plant less cotton and lend il Letter, plant more corn and peas nnd p‘flattie*?, sow more oats, and mors whenl and row it sooner and mar.ur:' it heller.

We find the following from George Woods, in tho Hawkiobville Dispatch: Of course wo did not see much of Flor¬ ida, but we made it oor bo-iness to talk with everybody we met—white and black —provided they were living in the State, and at least two-thirds of tho immigrants we met were disappointed nnd dissatisfied, and would sell out ana loave on the first opportunity. They had found Florida greatly overrated. It wus not a conntry abonding iii magnificent orange groves, vegetable farms and flower gardens. To raise an orange grovo requires years of attentive labor and expense, and then, if some rich N orthern tourist or capitalist should come along and want an orange grove, you might sell to him and get pay for your time and labor. We eaw only a few who had been shipping vegeta¬ bles to the North, and they had found it an unprofitable business. Admitting that we saw a small portion of Florida, but that we talked with a large number of Georgians and others who have eatt’ed in Florida, we came to tho conclusion that Florida has but few inducements to offe r a pebi man to sell out and move to that State with bis family. If he should move there without having visited tbe country, and learned something about its soil and climate, bs will very likely soon become dissatisfied and his family will pine for their old home. After spending a year or two he will move away from the State, and perhaps return to his old home a ead der but wiser man. Thn3 he will have moved twice, and “two moves are tquaj to one barn.” In other words, te move to Florida and then move back, be might as wall have been burned out- Wo wibh to do justice to Florida. We have many friends and patrons in the State and can appreciate them, but candor compels ns to aay that we think Florida is a poor conntry for a poor man. The rich can enjoy it as a luxury.

Smith, Edward, & Cods Liverpool cir CUiBr contains the following: ! i The prospect’s of onr market have not I altered „ , much during the last month, but : the most striking feature is the gradual i narrowing of the visible supply, till at lest the portion available for Great Brit ain has fallen 23,000 Jbalea below last year. Our,spinners ere supposed to hold about tbs same Btock, 'and consumption is, perhaps 3000 bales per week grtaTr than laa* year. This is an extraordinary development following up a crop of 800,000 bales larger than the previous ode and it leads, as might be supposed, to a more sanguine state of feeling that seem ¬ ed likely some time ago. It now seems that six and a half million bales is hardly more than the world needed; indeed, it has furnished this country with less than is required to keep our market stable in the summer and autumn, consequently people louk with less apprehension than they did upon the chances of a monster crop the next Besson. It cannot be dis¬ guised that we shall go through the au¬ tumn with a small stock, nnd that we shall be liable to speculative attempts to force up price, at the'same time we don’t think that there will be real scarcity, for spinners will run themselves entirely oat of stock so long as they have to pay a premium of 3 8.1 oh autumn cotton oyer the new crop; besides America will likely ship us a large balance of the remainder of Iho crop, and perhaps the continent may send a little cotton here if prices ad - vance, as it is liberally supplied this year. The main feature that will operate against any great advance is the excellent promise of the growing crop iu America. All our Recounts tire highly favorable, and the general opinion is that it looks as well as last year, except being a little backward. The report of the bureau giv¬ ing the increase of acreage at only 1 per oent., and the condition (i par cent, be¬ low last yeat, is not confirmed by pri¬ vate advices, and we note that t ha Chronicle since then put the increased acreage at 5 per cent , which compares v/ith what we hear privately. We should say that the enormous increase of fertili¬ zers will also add materially to the growth, and'all the indications at present I are iu favor of a very large yield. So long as his prospect is in front of tho market, we think it would bo difficult to force np prices on the mere chance of an autumn squeeze, but on the other hand it must be remembered that the steady demand of I | the trade for at least 65,000 bales 'per week, pooling upon a reducing slock for sal®. Between the two form s our market seems to have reached a condition of t qai i noise which it will not ba cksy to disliVrti for a timo. £*»«— State News. —Cotton is oponiLg in Bumter conr- ; ‘7 —A little Savannah girl was terribly j | mangled und one eyo toru from its acek et try u bad dog in that city lust week. j — Dooly county claims to havo a well preserved sixty year old.peach tree.

Picnic at Florence’s Saw Mill, Ed. JouitNAi,: — Last Saturday, 9th inst, was a day of days with the people about Audersous Gap, of all ages, sizes and sexes, Tho sun rose that morning above the gigantic hil’.a uploading his rays in a halo of golden light, presenting a landscape, most beau tifnl to the eariiest who arrived at the designated spot. Tbo place was roman - tio indeed, being in a deep ravine with a lofty hill r.n sitter sido—accommodated with a limpid streamlet which ebbing tranquilly down its rugged track, was not only gazed on with delight, but furniobod its thronged borders with cool mountain water. There w::i in atiendaricc about two hundred people, and about equally divided, one half being composed of Ear ris, and tho oilier of Meri wi ther people. Their lining go equally divided 1 gin* , 1 wus owing to tho place being inst an tbo county line. This merry heat , v/ri -< •*- | , postd of farmers.

No Demcgthnes or Cicero, like a cracked I born was son a ding from a stump to get their hands in somebodys pocket. There was a spacious platform J erected iu a beautiful shade, on which they danced when they felt jjke it. Twelve o’clock came on and dinner was announced, wine, tho quest seemed to ho more coi solid at ed, gathering around the lengthy tuble j which groaned under the hospitalities of j the good old farmers. Our music in tho evening consisted of beautiful soDgs ac ¬ companied by the guitar.
