Corn or tin* red lands is altopt as good as could be expected, and the cotton is doing its best and promises to do better.

W r e don’t want hut little meat now, a little piece will p go three times as far as it .. did before , these .. canie to our peas relief. It is true we want finin', su- gar apt! potTee and many other lux¬ uries, but when the times demand it we can economise. These peas make us healthy; and strong for the labors of the farm. We are all resting fipw, but we can’t rest much longer, for the fod? der will have to be pulled in a few days. The negroes too fire resting; but they wont get through their an¬ nual “loaf” before cotton picking time. Fruit is plentiful, aud they wi|l rest and be happy. We have enjoyed our rest; the boys have been pegging away on the doves every since they quit work, but they hav’ent killed many. If you go to fooling around to get rest and take sight you wont get many birds. The doves are quick, so you have to tie qqick if you kill ’em. A few days ago some town fellows came out here with their breech-loaders U It4 1 t„d»L>u .1-.^. • j L. ---’“tyL A „1 their dinners and stayed all day. They set about in the shade of the stumps and siinmon bushes, and wouldn’t wait fora bird to light but would shout him on the wing. They had lots of fun and killed lots of birds. They say they killed every bird that came in the field, but they didn’t get all there is up here, for t here are just as many as ever. They can’t kill ’em all. Neigl;lxq-— says the old ones lay two eggs, and set on them till they hatch, when they lay two more, which the young ones hatch by the time they are ready to tty. He says the young ones com¬ mence the same business, and they, and the old ones keenqp, as long as birds are needed. People don’t hunt now like they uspd to, now every man appropriates the game he kills to his own use, Neigh¬ bor Tinsley says,when he was a hoy, every body would come together to hunt squirrels, and that some times they would kill five fiqndfed. They would then barbecue them,and sueli nice times they would have. ,Squir¬ rels were plentiful in those days. Friend M., says along about that time lie remembers to have seen fourteen up one tree. The woods were full of 'em, und no doubt a scarce year before the pioneer hunter found as many as one hun¬ dred up the same hiokorynqt tree. Those were good old days, |n which we often regffit that we were not permitted to live. C. BATTLE SNfAK.ES, ‘Ji! Killed In one Hay, Near tfie Tur¬ pentine Works of Mr. J. I». Simpson, in this County.

Read, enti¬ tled “The Back Log.” This work is a novel to which the author has de¬ voted the spare time of several years and we think that it will be pronounced by all readers the strongest in plot and in character, (he most finished in literary con¬ struction, and altogether (he" most fascinating of any of Mr, Read’s stories. “The Back-Log” charac¬ ters are drawn from life and the de¬ velopment of the plot will show that the noted writer w ho says that “nothing new in plots can be con¬ ceived,” makes a mistake, “The Back-Log” will be a valuable addi¬ tion to American fiction and will doubtless receive a hearty welcome everywhere.
