Governor" has'spent seVertd thousand
dollars for printing which could have
been done for a few dollars, they feel
.that they havebeen cheated out of so
much money: and when they see those
editors who formerly stood as •senti
nels upon the watch towerB of freedom,
and gave the alarm whenevr the Treas
ury was about to be robbed, nbw silent'
or giving an uncertain sound, they
feel that they are ' betrayed.;—Federal

. .Cotton.
A great many supposed that too end
of the war in Europe would raise the
price of Cotton, but the. contrary has
been the case. Cotton bios been duller
since the close of the war, or. rather
.the armistice, "than it : was for some-
.time. previous. We - do . nbt? believe
cotton will ever, for any length of time,
attain the high prices some are expect-;
,-ing. Oiir advice to farmers is to make,
cotton thnt they can sell at about four-
Jiaen ccnte; let them hire labor, and
manage their farms so that the cotton
..they make can be sold profitably-‘ at
that price. If it cost more than that,
our opinion is that money wilj be lost
^on it. . '■ ■ '

Saturday might week, an oyster can
.was dug up on the farm of Mr. Chaun-
cey, between Ha wkinsville and Hayne-
ville, which contained over two -hund
red and, seventy dollars in gold. The
way it.came tlidfe is this: linring last
.Christmas, a negro stole a valise from
Mr. Manning’s store in Hayneville,
which had this gold' in it and some
clothing. He buried the gold, but un
dertook to wear the # cIoilies, and was
thereby detected.. He confessed toe.
crime, and revealed the. place where
.the money was hid, but made bis es
cape while, being carried to Hayne-
.ville.
A merchant in Geneva, 1ST. Y. adver
tised that he wanted -to engage the
services , of a small boy. The next day
-his wife presented him with two small
boys. That man says he don’t think,

seed .of wcedsi’eitlier perfectly rotted
Warmyard manrire. or a fertilizer in
which- there is. alittle ammonta and a
large proportion of potato, jtoosphatt
and sulphate of lime. Lucerne accor
ding to vYille draws more .ammonia
from toe atmotyhere than, any other
.plapt whatever. It therefore greatly
enriches-land. The Lucerne on lh- s
farm—some .five acres—was destroyed
by-toe grazing of toe Fedend horses
and" cattle during: i • war. The roots
which were-'as largo as moderate .sized
carrots, withering, toe ground • was
left almost honey combed. It was as
loose as an “ash-heap” vastly improved
in fertility. -
" If Lucerne is - cultivated on a small
scale for soiling work horses,, a lot
toouMhe selected- adjoining, toe sta-
hie. - Tlie Lucerne ent one day should
be left to wilt and used the next day.
From the middle of March, or first of
April there wili be no further use for
corn and fodder during toe season.—
It wiR be found that toe -horses and
.mules will often eat ail the Lucerne in
toe trough before-tliey touch the corn.
In fact a horse will do light work, or
answer for riding on Lucerne without
corn.. - - . .e
Lucerne makes the very best iiay.—
On very rich land it can be mowed
five times during the season,. yielding
a ton at each cutting, and sometimes
more. This is five.tons to toe acre.—
Ten acres would yield fifty tons. This
at.thirty dollars to the. ton would be
fifteen, hundred dollars.A good mo w-
fer will cut .these ten acres- in a day.—
Is to--re any other plant which grows
out of the ground that wiR pay . as
Well? Observe too whole iabor em
ployed after, toe first cost is one day’s
work of a mower and -the'necessary la-,
bor of .curing and hauling to the bam.
How much labor does it take to make
fifteen huudred. doUars: worth of cob
ton aikl com ? Yet with this possible,
taty>! practicably, extraordinary pror
duct, the fMtastern and Attatie railroad
brought down between' one and two
millions of Tennessee and Rentucky
hay last j-ear, and the wharves of omt
ports were loaded with Korthem hay.
UTien shaR wc learn wisdom?
Thc-re are some English and some
Jforthern grasses which do not thrive
with us. But neither England or the
North can grow Lucerne,' one, be
cause it is too wet; the- other, because
iff is too cold. If we could raise no
other .plant for hay .then Lucerne, we
-still should never bny.a pound; of hay
grown out. of the Btate: ;It.,alone
•would-be ample.for allwants:
Lugcrne shoidd' be ciit. very close,
leaving as little stubble as possible;—
It- sometimes turns yellow. This is
t he work of an insect and toe Lucerne
should bo immediately mowed over,—
The field is ready, for the scy the -when
toe" blossoms begin to appear. If. left
longer it become^ Ayopdy. ‘ , _
-As soon as .the. Lucerne is cut it
shpuld.be raked, into rows and in tod
same day be threwu into cocks about
five>feet high, and; as smaR round as
wRl stand well. It : will then .cure in
the shade. .If it gets too much sun,
the leaves wiR wither; and faR off,- and
nothing .will be left bnttoe. stems.
Oil the whole, toe cultivation of Lu
cerne, for spRing'and hay, cannot be
too highly recommended totoe South
ern "land holder. It is useless on poor
Jandj iiind.no one should attempt its
oulfhlre unless-he means to do it. WeU. ,'
If ho does this, he will b e amply repaid,
perhaps, mois .pmpty than by any
otliev product of the farm.
