Collector Clark, ol Atlanta, tela, graphed to Commissioner Itaura in Waahington City laat week that twenty five or thirty men went to Morganton, Fannin county, while the Superior Court wua in aeaaion and broke iu the wall of the j til and releaaed priaoncra charged with vi olation of internal rcvenuu lawa mid burning Stuarts properly. aUo the release of two uicn from Pickens comity jail. A reporter ou the Constitution states these facts as given to 'him by a gentleman from Gainesville: <>1 gm reliably informed that thero is uo truth tu tnc statement that thirty men breku down the wall of the jail at Morganton, Fautiili coun ty, (In., and rescued a number of revenue prisoners; The facts we hear are these: The jail is built of logs and veneered with brick out side, and iu veneering, the flftuea containing the galea were set in like window or door frames. The pris oners, without any sort of outside aid, pushed the frame and gate out side und made their escape. These •re the facts m given by a state pns oner who was in the same jail and refuted to go out with the other pris oners. Ue says that there was not a soul present except the prisoners, and that no aid was rendered them/’ As to the Pickens jail delivery we are reliably informed by a gentleman who lives in the town of Jasper, that there was uo assistance rendered the prisoners who escaped from that jail* The jail has an iron cage inside of the building, and the prisoners were in this cage. By some means they manged to get two bolts oat of the iron frame some time ago—before the last term of the superior court there, but they kept it a secret, wait ing for an opportunity to make good their eaoape. About three weeks ago Mr. Uanderaon f the sheriff of Piok- ens county, had occasion to visit El* lijay, and when tha prisoners found, be uus gone and had left a aubati lute on duty, they determined to make their eaoape that night, whioh they done after working til night till nearly day. There was a crazy man on the ontside of the cage who helped them to bend the two bars back and extrioate tbemselvea from the iron cage, and then come the work of going through the wall and they set to work in dead earnest to cut a hole through it. They bad loosened several large rocks but found that day would catch them before their escape could be made through the wall, and the last effort was to tsks a large rock aud burst the locks on the doors, which they did. The locks were broken from the inside of the jail. As the priso ners went down the jail steps one of them called to the jailer "that the mob hod them," and in the excite ment the jailer believed it. This is about the truth of matters as they were. m mi Hauling it Away. a> Many of our readers have seen the statements in the papers of the wag-, on loads ol corn and meat being haul ed from the towns and cities to the country. This is the old story. We don’t mean it is not true, but, it shows that our people have relied upon getting enough coru and meat in some other way than by producing them on their own farms. .Be it so, if they have a plenty of money to pay for them, and are in the sunshine of fortune. Ws hope they are so hapi- ly situated, but, if they are, they are the men who should aid others by u better policy. We don’t mean they should directly divide their money with them, but they should see that all this money, pnul lor corn and meat, Bhould be kept for circulation at home. In that way they would help neighbors who are not us fonu nate as themselves. If they are buy ing this corn and meat on credit, they are better uble to judge than we •re, of the future prospect. They may easily p»y, but we thiuk the better policy would be to ruise all lbs Resided corn and meat at home. PREPARE PO!t THE FUTURE.

I do not fully accept the position taken by the Advance on our question for debate. W h i lo it is a safe and -cor rect principle to make the farm self sus taining in the iuaiu. to say to our farm ers that their failure to do so is the cause of their embarrassing condition, falls far short, according.to my views of tbe.prjp- ciple cause. It is to tba interest of (ha farmer to plant .whatever crop# tlralgiyas him the greatest remunerative results, even if it is cotton. The reason of our failure, is because the value of our (Suctions are not sufficient to pter tl» pease of producing thsm ntidet o«i> ent system; It ia hot beesuae we f plint too much cotton sad not enough corn, ns the latter is less remunerative. It is not because wt buy fertilizers, but because we promise to pay from 200 to 800 per cent more than tlieii casli value. It is not because wo buy corn, but because we promise te pay 100 per cent, more than it could hnye been purchased for with the cash when cotton was sold. It is not because we arc extravagant, for we wear cheaper clothing, educate our children less and enjoy less luxuries aud comforts oflifc than any other class, but Jrecsuse we have been paying such an enorinous per cent, on what we buy. Iu a word, wo have promised to pay more than the value of our farm productions. It would not be expected for a man to succeed ili manufacturing, mercantile or other liuii ness, if lie was paying only the legal rate of interest upou the capital with which be operates his business.' Yet our farmers are trying to pay from SO to 100 per cent, ou what they buy, aud this is one of the main causes of their failure. .Nor do 1 see in the example cited by the AuvAaca of the “Model Farmer,” Mr. Reams, any practical method by which wo oan extricate ourselves. The secret of Mr. Reams' success was paying cash for what lie bought. Our Cherokee farmers are poor, and in debt, as Air; As I have seen nothing in your inter esting paper from this section ir the last few weeks I will endeavor to give you * few itenub 1 here has been a great deal of sickness among the children, but no deaths that I have heard of.
