bem is solved, and the question of the
connection of the Atlantic and Pacific O.
ceans settled. Farther than speculative
or geographical purposes, the discovery is
not uselul; but all praise for its accom-
plishment is due TO the Hudson's Bav
Company, and their hardy mariners"


A high handed effort was made bv the
bank wings, to stop the operation of the
government as far as pecuniary matters
are concerned, or to compel it to borrow
on interest at the expense of the people,
enough to defray its expenses. If it had
been compelled to raise funds in such a
manner; the opposition party would by
that have obtained an electioneering
hobby to ride. Conld the government re-
ceive the one halfof the amount due to it,
it would not have required the passage of
the treasury note bill. The states have
on deposit, of the public moneys, toenty-
eight millions. The late deposit banks
have fifteen millions, with the postponed
merchants bonds--the U. s. Bank owes
the government four millions. And this
all real capital, butthe opposition say the
government is in debt

more Republican, Express slip, of the 23d

We are glad to see that the Mississippi
Planters are generally turning their at
tention to raising such produce on their
own plantations, as their own necessities
require. And to this it would be well il
they would give still more attention. Their
soil will produce any thing that is pro
duced in almost any part of the globe; and
they only want to raise sufficient for their
own domestic use. As it is, they are tee
much disposed-too desirous to raise Cot
ton, to the neglect of other things. 1t is,
we believe, the general opinion that Mis-.
sissippi is too far south4to produce good
wheat--that it is deficient both in qralitv
and IN quantity; but it does nj appear so
f.om the e'fesult of the following expert
ment, by Mr.. McGehee.


ZION HILL. JUNE A, 1888.
TO the Editors Of The Planter:


GENTLEMEN:


] take the liberty to send you
the result of small experiment | have
made. Last fall, | sowed one and three.
tourths of a bushels of wheat, and have
gathered forty bushels, after considerable
loss by waste, there was not particle of
rust on it. If YOU think the above worthy
place in your paper it is at your service.
Respectfully yours,


~ iJAMES McGEHEE. 4
