COTTON PLANTING.
After all, time aud experience arc the great
correctors. They bring to light truth and
falsehood and error. One first ought to be
guided by the lamp of experience. It actual
experiment proves that we have erred in our
judgment as to any course of conduit, we
should change it at once, t ools only never
leartwmd never change—except perhaps those
whose inordinate prPie of opinion will not al
low them to chinge.
Very early in this contest we pointed out
to the people that one great difficulty we
should have to contend with was that of pro
djjcUoiT brsuuTclent supplies of food and
coarse clothing. Consequently,, we urged
them, in common wiih man” others of th e
press, to devote their utmost energies to this
end. and to plant and cultivate only those
erops which, were essential to that purpose,
regardless of the matter of present profit
We believe that an abundance of food could be
grown, if the land and the labor were employed
in that production, instead of producing cot
ton, of which we had on hand a supply suffi
cient for-our clothing needs for ten years. It
’s difficult to change the routine of cropping,
because agriculturalists are by habit conserva
tive, and because also it interferes with the
whole arrangement of a system requiring
■years to develop, to introduce change. And
yet we have seen our agriculturists, with un
bounded patriotism and with untiring ener.
gies, meeting the expectations of the conn
try, changing their plan of planting, g'.'/ing
up the idea of immediate profits, and devoting
themselves almset wholly to the production of
food. '
In 1862 the planters abandoned cotton cul
ture to a ’arge extent at the call of the coun
try, whose cry-.was bread, bread. In 1863
the have submitted, and most cheerfully, to
what is perhaps an arbitrary and unconstitu
tional restriction on their liberties, and ex
cusable only on the ground of public necessity
and public danger, in the planting and culti
vation of their lands. They have given up
the great money crops, tobacco and cotton,
non-essential at present in the way of food and
clothing, and devoted land and labor to grain,
peas and potatoes. The question of contin
ued, or perhaps still further restriction, is now
again agitated in the Legislature, and it be
comes that body to act wisely in thg matter,
and as safely as it can, guided by the light of
the past, and basing its action on the idea of
continued war. We think every one should
make his calculations on that • basis—that the
war will go on many years yet. It will
'icarcily do harm, even should the conflict sud
denly terminate, whereas great injury has re
sulted, and nay result again, from predica

Can it be de- . -.noontol food be produced.
. t j,. re by forbidding cotton planting
restricting the culture still further,
j allowing it to stand as at present ? We
,eel called upon to say, and particularly as
. we were amdng the first to urge a large cur
tailment of cotton Mr the purpose of increas
ing the supply of food, that we now believe
we were in error, and that the facts have de
monstrated that less food is produced, at least
in Middle Georgia, where cotton culture has
been abandoned, than might have been pro
duced by planting at least a third.crop ol
cotton. We felt apprehension from the
beginning on this very point, but hoped the jn
jury might not soon be developed—expecting,
or at least hoping, in common with most peo
pie, that 1863 would see the close of the war.
We have all been mistaken as to the duration
of the war, and can now form no rational
conclusion as to when it will close. And we
have been mistaken also in the system that
' would insure the most food.
From facta coming within our own obser
. vation-and from the"experience of skillful and
intelligent farmers, we conclude that there has
been less food produced in Georgia this year,
by the very act of planting small crops of
cotton in 1862. The truth is that the old,
' badly worn laiids of .Middle Georgia will not
produce grain abundantly without manure,
and that cotton seed is the grand lever of ou r
food supply. 'Corn is well known to- be the
most ravenous feeder of all our crops, and
without' manur* it can not be plentifully
grown unless on fresh land, or alluvial bot
toms. We felt Somewhat fearful t?o about
the last wheat crop, on account of deficiency
of cotton seed, and had net the winter and
spring been most favorable, the crop’ would
have been exceedingly short in old Georgia.
As it was, from large sowing and fuvflßable
weather, the crop was fair in quantity, but.
light weight. One of the best wheat
growers of our acquaintance sows wheat uni
formly after cotton, and it is a well known
fact that wheat, corn, or any crop, grows bet
ter after cotton than anything else, ‘ the
reason that the previous cultivatio of the.
cotton, if the laud can. only be kept from
washing oil’, leaves it in most ex client con
dition—clean and well pulverized, and in the
best order for plowing well. For the two
reasons then, that cotton culture leaves the
land in better eoudilion, and that the crop
gives a large quantity of excellent manure—
said to be also good food —we must
conclude that the lx»t mode for insur
•ng the largest amoumt of food is to allow,
it not to ensourage, three or perhaps five
acres of cotton to be grown to the hand.—
Probably, for a single year, more food may be
produced by an entire abandonment of cotton,
giving all the land to grain, and still not de
prived of the previous years supply, of cotton
seed, but we feel satisfied that, except on very
rich land*, or by n much greater change—Re
quiring years bo mature it—in our agricultu
ral system, we can have more food by mixed
cropping than by abandoning cotton. What
effects have been noted in South-west and
North west Georgia, consequent on reduction
of cotton cropping, we are not advised, but in
this section of the State the policy has al
ready proved bad, and threatens a great deal
worse. There is but small supply of guario,
and that in our opinion, is no tn reliable ma
nure for corn, andit isabsolutely impossible for
our planters under existing system to make a
sufficient supply of farm manure, and still more
impossible to haul it, if it were ready made to
their hands. We hope, therefore, theta will
be no further restriction on cotton .planting.
Possibly, however, we may. be % error, and we
should be glad to hear the opinion of practi
cal men from other parts of the State—which
we think will coincide with ours.
THE nENATORbHIP.
The question of tilling the vacancy in the Con*
federate Senate, caused by the expiration of the
term of c.fficeaof Gov. Johnson next February, is
one of present absorbing interest in the .Legs
iiluture and among the people. It is proper that
we should all feel a deep interest in tha matter,
for in this crisis of tha revolution it becomes us
to choose wisely who shall make laws for us, arid
guide and direct the ship in this fearful storm, li
becomes us ad to davsst ourselves entirely of
prejudice and passion, and to select our lawgiv*
ars with an eye single to their fitness and capaci
ty aud fidelity personally, andfthe value and cor
rectness of their vigws on public policy. No
partiality for individuals, nor any antipathy,
should come between tne elector and the eanfii*
date. Who is the best and wisest and safest man
for tha position, who entertains the most nearly
correct views and the most in accordance with
popular judgment, and who is able to bring ’’at
•largest capacity and the greatest influence so im
pres- those views on the action of tije'5 overnEaeCi
m lhe»*nducl of the wy. Let ea.>’ a mem ber of t'J
Legislature determine these Questions dispose jona
ately for himself, and i ’hen easy his vote ac/cordr
ingly. .
It wiil be fj’'jembered that Gen. Toc/mbs was
elected to g anaw along with Mr. Pjill, by the
Legible are o j iafsi, Uy drew the iwo years’
’* sz Li, and Mr. Mill the six years’. Gen. Toombs
oeing then m the military sei vice, and believing
that he could render the country as much aid
there us in the public councils, declined to quit
that service for the Genatorsbip, and Gov. John"
son was elected in 1862 to fill the vacancy. We
presume that Gov. Johnson will be agtin a can
didate for reflection, though it ia uniortunate for
both these gentlemen, and for the country, that
Gov. Johnson and Gen. Toombs should be con
testants for. the same place. It would be much
better, it both could be in the Senate, bitt only
one ot them can pow be elected. We learn that
thete are other candidates, but not to be compared
with either oi these geutkmen in point of capaci
ty and experience.
There must be ac’uange in our public policy,
The people of Georgia have recently and most
emphatically pronounced, not against the Gov
•rnmentnor the President, but ifgainsttl policy
which has allowed the currency to .epreclut
.ourteen hundred per cent, which ban,’ K .
rnptcy and dishonor, which puls the army on
short rations, and, by impressment, discourages
production, disheartens the people and breeds
discontent. ’There musi be a change; and tn the;
selection of a Senator we doubt not the Legisla
ture will heed the verdict of the people in the re*
cent Congressional election. perhaps Gen.
Toombs and Gov. Johnson v , ry near i y co i nci( Je
in their wiews of puh" jC policy . r {thoy do> and
it the Legislature a g rae s with the people in the
op.niop ihgir viowg should be enacted rather
*.ae policy which has hitherto governed us,
men winch of the two shall be chosen ?
The capacity and the fidelity of each is ad
mitted and unquestionable. By character and
training, however, Governor Johnson is more
fitted lor the calm, grand statesmanship of peace
ful times, while General Toombs is the very ge
nius and embodiment of the revolution itself.
Conceding both to be eminently wise and patri*
otic, and to agree mainly npon the line of policy
best adapted for the situation of the country, and
best csflcu’ated to lead us into the safe harbor of
peace and independence, General Toombs, we
think, has the advantage on the score of g-eater
experience and more enlarged influence, 'there
is nothing t<» trammel him in his public conduct,
and the stormy discussions of this revolviionary
time harmonize well with his nature. Lie is pre
eminently qualified, as the great leader of seces
sion, to grapple with the difficult problems of the
day, undaunted by authority, and seeking only to
preserve th© constitution of his country and the
liberties of his countrymen. Perhaps the policy
recommended by General Toomos, it he can have
it inaugurated by the (Joug.ess, may fall, as all
things ia the futurq are doubtful. But at aU
evenia it ought to be tried, not capriciously and
lightly, and for change merely, but because th-;
opposite policy lum fuiUd, so far as the currency
is concerned, and threatens serious and radical
’evil in regard to supporting and subsisting she
army. .
It the policy advocated by G?n. Toombs is the
: beat, it should be inaugurated, and at once. II
• .the members of the guided, by the
expressed will of their constituency, concur in
the belief that it is best they should see to it, that
its expounder and ablest champion be put in po»
1 aition where he can impress his policy on the
1 public administration. That the Legisln'nre will
, heed the voice of the people, which demands a
| change of policy, we cannot doubt. And if there
is to be a change Gen. Toombs is the most fit syjd
proper person lb bring.it about. With the kind
est feelings towards other candidates, we' heartily
’ desire his election to the Confederate Senate, be*
cause v e believe the times demand it,

TiiK PLAIW OF RKLIEp PROi»OHEI> lh THE
HAAR CONVENTION.
The plan to relieve the count,y ot the uitoiei-\
able evils of redundant currency,high prices, and
daily accelerated increase of debt, tirSi proposed
by a writer for a newspaper in North Carolina—
afterwards adopted in part by the South Carolina
Banks, in Co:;v ntion tu Columbia, and lastly, it
a modified form, by the Bank Convention held in
this city on the 16.1 i November, is higb.yob,Cel
tic liable, in our judgment. The original plan
proposed by the North Carolina writer was to
issue one billion eix per cent, bonds, and levy an
anntfal tux yielding a revenue of one hundred
and twenty millions, half of which must be paid
m coin qr the coupons of said bonds. The Colum
bia Convention only proposed to tax to the extent
of sixty millions, payable ia coin-or coupons; mid
the Augusta Convention recommended also ynly 60
millions of taxss, and further, that not >nly eur»
renoy, but outstanding bonds, might b > convert
ed into said six per cents , tor the payment'of
interest on which a specific tax is pledged. That
might possibly draw, in part of the eight per
cents., which have no pledges for interest, exespt
the cotton loan.
The issue ot such bonds, .accompanied by the
proposed tax, would undoubtedly force a gradual
funding of Outstanding Treasury Notes, a gradual
reduction of the circulation, and perhaps a gradual
reduc ion of prices, 'i'he latter, however, redne*
tion il prices is extremely doubtful, as the histo
ry of the past has abundantly shown. What et»
feet ou prices did the enormous funding of two
hundreti millions in the five months from March
to August last have ? ‘Very little, we all know’
It is true there wqre plenty ot bears in every,
market, operating might and main for a tempo
rary fall, knowing full well that fronftfie enor
mous issues that were necessary, Ruch fall could
only bo temporary, and that they would reap
large harvests by the alter rise. Butthey failed
to produce any appreciable fall in commodities,
everything holdingats own manfully, except the
small stock of old flour held in June, and prices
have gone steadily up, as we then predicted, from,
July till the present, notwithstanding the two
hundred millions funded, and notwithstanding
the huge and concerted efforts to pvoluo'e a fall.
It will be recollected that these bank gentle*
men only propose a revenue by taxation sufficient
to pay interest on the proposed bond?, and mak e
no provision and no Biiggestron for current ex>
penditnres, How are those expenditures to be
met? Clearly by either re-issuss or aaw issues
from Mr. Memmiuger’s ItghUiing presses. The
fundinguouldwmly be gradual, and ia all proba
bility it would be delayed ’till near‘the time? for
collecting the taxes. The issuing, however, must
go on every day and every hour, tor the expend it,
turesmust be met. At the best the reduetiou of
circulation must be s i gradual, re-issues or new
issues being a pecessity, that it c mid s’Vce'j ef
fect prices very greatly r ar.d if it could p 9 t reduce
prices, then the yearly expandltares could not be
reduced; and at ths end of 1864 wk stiouid have
not one dollar of debt paid, .but a billion of that

on our hauls a>t .the aioat of the war, with any
certainty of payment. We may be entirely miso

wa prefer to err op the safe side, i-.nd our deliber
ate judgment i»‘, that a thousand millions, bear
ing six per oeust. interest, is ail that a rational
mau, arquaintert with the facts, can safely—safe,
ly enough to induce permanent investments—
count on as curtain to be paid; Uuf ability io
pay more ite undoubted, but ;be desire io pay
will probably* be wanting, for the masses every
where have'hvu-y loose notions of financial honor,
and especial! y in America.
. We shall fi rut it a general ritlt! that sonad wi’l
pay more, and’ more willing#, to attain an ob
ject hoped for, than they will pay tor that object
’when 'There are-plenty of men who
would give a teuik’, a fourth,’or even a half of
their property wstc, to secure certain indcpeirde

ence once attained, tto be tax;d one per cent, for
the purpo taos wiping out oid scores, for paying
a debt nee easanly iiscutrsd to secure our indax
pendeoce. Hence, wie insist it,.that the on
ly proper and real remedy for cur fiuansial difiis
eulties, is Uumbiou now, rigorous, unmerciful,
fer«reachwig, deep«6eeking taxation-—taxation
sufficient to pay half the debt in January next,
sufficient to reduce ihe circulation to one hun
dred millions, sufficient to reduce prices to the
standard of 1860, su acient to insure by that very
reduction, that annual expenditures shall not ex
ceed one htindred and fifty or two hundrea mil
lions and sufficient to insure moderate comforts
to tfce poor, to make the soldiers’ monthly pay
good for a taffidred weight of pork.
If wo ap?>ly this stern and caustic remedy at
once,, adjusting burdens not according to the value
of preperty but according to the ready ability of
eaoh taxpayer, and then tux annual !y to the
amount of one half or two»thirds“the ex enditure,
we shall be able to carry on the wa/some years
longer, or until the Aoolitionists are satisfied, and
then come out of it with a debt that we can and
■will pay. It ia i dle t 0 ta!k P a y’ n g more ttian 8
thousand xnillions; we could do it, but the ch a tic
are ten to one that we would not, and everybody
knows it. There are two points at which payment
Stops', first, at the point of unwillingness, wh
force cannot-bs .applied, and secondly, t>t the
point of inability. Tire whole productive pro ) r
ly of the Confederacy, at the ctese of the war, 1 n
■ a specie basis, will be Worth about (our thousand
millions. The pelt income -of no
nation is greater than five per cent, on ita capital,
more frequently only four. Five per cent, on four
billions 13 two hundred millions. Our ordinary
annual expenditures for some years will be ’flity
miHions, our sinking fund—depending on Hie
amount of aebt and the time it lias to ruiv-will
be from 20 to- 50 miilionc, say. 35 millions. Thus
we have 85 millions, without imereSt, and if our
interest account should reach one hundred and
twenty millions—six per cent, on two billions—
we should surely have arrived at the point of in -
ability to pay, and repudiation would become i>
necessity. A nation cannot be f iroed to pay its
own" people, but we believe o thousand miliiur.s
of debt at the close of the war would aot reach
the po nt of unwillingness in the'people to pay it
—requiring" an expenditure of one hundred ano • ’
thirty mill'ons, or ihrecstitths oP the nett, income
of the country, If wo go beyond that ..arnwunt,

Vsrioui attempts are being ma le all over the
country to fovea people to fake Conl?d rc»s
Tressuiy notes at their face for all debts; regard*
less of the time when they were contracted. This
forcing scheme, we Relieve, has keen defeated in
the Le fislatnre of Mississippi, and pa l tiaTy *<> in
thjs G lOrgiu House of Representatives; but tbe
Georgia Senate has not yet disposed of the reso.
lutiods of Mr. Adams, Senator from Putnam, a
very emmable, patriotic and sensible gentleman,
according to our notion, is a little dis-
on this question. Ho proposes to cou
hc:ipt all parsons, regardless of age, condition
and sex, too, perhaps—and put thorn at the butt
st d of a musket, who refuse this currency for any
debt. O.hers propose to close the courts against
snjb V'irgons —as if they were not already obised
—while dthers propose to debar them from
interest. •
The whole btlsiuoas is a gigantic folly. In the
first place, it is an attempted wrong upon the
people, wholly unw'arraufed by tbe Constitution,
or by the circninstances ; secondly, it is impos
sible oi s®p! icatiou ; thirdly’, it c?n produce no
valuable tt-suP, if it could ba carried out; and
lastly, the tendency of all such efforts is to in*
ducs tba Government itself to persist on a wrojg
aud.evil system of finance, rather‘than attempt
something better and sounder. We would not
say a word to depreciate the currency, because,
ii we even felt so disposed, it were’useless. • h
speaks for itself, and it is its owji speaking that
has caused depreciation—nothing elsa. Ahyre
never was a people more willing so sustain a
currency, and never u currency that~a people tried
harder to sustain. Nothing but ardent patriot
ism, aided, we admit, by a little bullying, has
kept it up. Very few people even now refuse it
though fevery one is legally justifiable tn so do
ing. Congress has been importuned to make
Treasury Notes a legal tender, but that body had
moterige.rd for the Constitution than-Lincolu’B
UoT-giesa, and refused every fixe the bill was up,
by overwhelming majorities. Only n few refuse
this currency for old debts, and they as loyal and

Toe beat way, the only effictuai way, as wc
think, to make everybody take Treasury Notes for
all debts, and to serve other good purposes at the
same time, is to make these notes good, make
ilieai valuable, make them to be sought after,
create a universal demand for them, and so nr*
range the system as to give all assurance of final
solvency -aud that way is by taxation. If you

To the General A.imu nu'y ;

that 1 mvite your attention to a mailer wuioh I.

!;■ i i t eighteen months I bare repebtediy stated .
that, in my honest opinion, our greatest difflcul'y
will be in maintaining the supply of provisions
li wucu.it do this, winch is in our power,
God’s blessing, it not abused; we have nothing
10 fear irom the power or armies of tha enemy
Deeply impressed with the importance of this
ivj 'ici, 1 consider the waste of the neoeasartas ot
hit; as highly culpable, aud any acuon <>i the
Governnient wlrch ca&es such waste as unfor
innate and unwise.
E Aurtaiuiog these views, I am obliged to con
clude that tifo tithing system adopted bt the
Congress of the Coeledorate Stats, w-ii a.a uu*
errer, which can only be reirievad b/ an
entire and earivichadge of poneji.*** •
I think it hate to estimate that st least onen
third <>f the amount of the lithe or tax in kind, of
jbts Biate. will be wasted-an 4li st ua account of
Tnl; want, of store room, and the mismanagement
iiid carelessness ot the G-overninsm atfsuta, who
t»nfortuQ.iteiy are seldom practical, p an'ers, hot.
are ia very many cases young or inexperienced
man, who have but little nracucni knowledge of
the business in which they are engaged. The re«
suit i'll, that largo quantities of shelled corn are
tnrown together in heaps, and left to must and
spoil, or to m wasted nogs and o-titer stock on
account of' I he.insufficiency of th.? s‘oio rooms to
protect it. Fedder or bay in butoe is biuled to
the common place of deposit, and is there thrown
out without co or, and permitted to tahc th;: ’inn
as it/alls, and 10 soon rotten. Potatoei red other
like pronqctipns collected in places remote from
the army are almost an entire loss.• Mu hos the
meat, if ffaliecied «t the time fixed by la v, wifi
be thrown together in heaps before it is well
cared, and will be tainted and spoiled.
It is not reasonable to suppoae-trial all’tbeGovM
ennment agents appointed as they are, will loot
after »‘.tid take cilre of, the Government Stores,
with ihu mine care aud diligence, exerernsd by
planteisaaii producers in loekmjj 5 ftsrdbeir in.
dividual property.' Attain, - if every rgent were
ae.'fatthful aeMie would be in the management of
bis own affairs* it ii.net possiok* m many cs<ts
tor them to procure Store houses iu •which they
can solely ketp such large -quantums of provis
ions, a-- must be collected’ ia many counties oi
this Srate. '
And it i t also worthy of consideration, that in a
laige number of counties in the S.ate the etore*
Houses si - - so tar from railroad travvportaiicn that
it is worth nearly half the tax in itiad tn ham it
• o toe read, when In the&e very counties there is
not, ou account ol the absence of so mucli ot cur
productive lauor in the military field, a sufficient
supply of provisions to sustain tne lives of the
people. The consequence is, *he governmnat
.mist pay w very Urge atnouqt of money for t.aul*
mg the tithe tut 01 the bounty, and* the State
mus; Ku n appropriate money opt of her Treasury
,ir.d purchase corn elsewhere, and pay a large
am .mat to haul it back to the same place, to us
.ain the lives of soldiers’ families.
This system is*not otfiy wm-amg badly, and
causing tile w -S.e of a large q.m.iiitv of provision
greatly needed by our peo’-ta, but it has, so far
as I ain able to learn, given general diss'a’L-fcc
tiou.
