planters to divert thoir lands from corn to

enreful and inquiring observer» ol 'ho con
dition and proapects of tho country. W ha.
is to bo done with thosurplns of our corn
and Other products? They will not keep
wo) I nor boar transportation to foreign
porte, nor, after paying costs, compote «no
ftessfully «Ith tho product of th« Northern
State». ,.
Wo »on no other more practicable or re
munerative employment of our corn sur
pliiK, than in the raising and fattening of
Btook. Tho South I« peculiarly favored
for this luminous, in tho great abundance
of lino grazing land«, and in the long«
i m rioil wiiou those laudaatford green food
of tho most nutritious ciiaractor. Cattle
can bo kept fat in our piny wood» pasture*
Iron, tho middle of Al.nl until tho first of
November, with no other food but the rich
grass of those lands, of which there are
millions of acres, stretching in a bolt ol
from "(W to two hundred miles wido, trom
the MSwissippi River to the Virginia lino.
Th oso land'» are generally open, unoccu
pied, n nil aimed, constituting commons,
where anv and everybody can graze their
cattle with safety. In tho summer and
(Airing tho cattle that graze In those woods
uro in tip top condition» but in tho wintor
lliev get very poor and die off in groat
number* for tho want of food. Tho land
is too poor and thu population loo uparBO
to produce corn or other lood enough to
koop them alive through tho winter.
Hitherto the cattle owners in this region
have relied chiolly upon the wild cane,
which used to bo very abundant, to feed
thoir cattle and oven koop them lut In
tho wintor. But tili« resource is rapidly
tailing. One of the calamities which loll
upon tho poople ol the piny woods during
tho into war, was tho seeding of the cane,
which marks its decay and ontiro disap
pearance. To keep alive thoir cattle tor
-„he future, during tho wintor, thoir ownors
must have com. They cannot raise it on
Iheir lands, and must buy and transport it
from the morn northern sections of their
States, where it abounds, lint to do tins
two tilings are needed which do not now
exist, to wit ; motley to bay with and roB.l*
to transport on. I hose obstacle# can l<e
easily surmounted by energy and enter
prise. Let otir corn producers soil their
corn to cattle raisers on shares, or ex
cliunge the same for cattle. II cattle can
l»o driven from Arkansas and Toxas to
Illinois, and sheep from tho Kio Grande to
New Orleans, certainly they can bo driven
from tho piny woods along the Gulf, to
the rich corn-producing suctions of Cen
tral and Northern Mississippi, Alabama
und Georgia. This arrangement would
dispense with tho transportation of tho
corn for winter use. Those and other ar
rangements wii ich are found easy and
practicable in the North and West, only
renuirn population and enterprise to carry
them out in thu South with even more
brilliant results.
Tho grant needs ol Iho South, then, in'ft
people and labor. Let the country be as
densely peopled as tho North, and wo rm
iievo it would prove more productive imil
prosperous. 11 is idle to talk about natural
obstacles—those of climate, position, ol.c.;
our great and serious wants are population
and industry. I.ook at those pine forests,
tho land of which may be got for tho ex
pense of surveying nnd locating; how
enormously valuable they would bo lor
their resinous production alone at the
North, or in any European country . Ilete
they "wanto thoir sweetness on the desert
air '' because there are no people to make
them uvailnble for tho important and val
uable use* to which they are applied else
where Besides the value of the resinous
exudations and of tho lumber of these
forests, the lauds are equal to any in the
country for pasturage duriug nine months
of the year. And yet this region has not
un inhabitant for every ten sqnaro miies,
and tho population has not increasod for
twenty yoars. It in tho moat hew th lui
portion of tho South, and produces fruits
vegetables, atul email crops enough to
subsist a large population most cotnforta
hly . Wo repeat that all that this country
need* to render it valuable and prosper
ous, is an enorgotie and industrious popu
lation. Ouo of the results of the recent
revolution in our industrial system, we
hope, will be the realization of the truth
of these observations.
