HOW TO MA^E CORN FOR OUR ARMY.That we cannot expect peace during Lincoln'#Administration, and that our territoryfor raising supplies lias been reduced to a much

smaller area, hy- the invasions of our enertiy, itstands tbe farmer in hand to make every exertionin his power to raise corn and produce.We hoar it talked by many of our farmers thatthey cannot make more corn now, than theydid when they planted a filll crop of cotton.This defect can be easily remedied, if otfr farmingcommunity will go to work in time. It is.. >«<u«u dui, i.iibl one acre oi land putin the right condition, and manured in the hill,will yield at least three times as much corn asit'will if not manured. JJoW, if every farmerwill go property to work, on his plantation, hecan, undoubtedly, manufacture a. sufficientnuantity of jopahUt-e to m£hure,rif)Hh« hill^ alltUebest Hinds Ce. has.let them bebottoma orgood tip-lands. In this event, let the farmer#ow hia poorer lands in small grain. pursuingthis policy, there is no doubt bat thatour farmers in this country will become convinced that they can raiae double or treble asmuch corn than they did, when they cultivateda full cropof cotton. Now is the time togo to work to produce manure for next year'*crop of corn. A crop cultivated upon the*bov« plan Will require niUCli lees Horse power,and will be much easier and better cultivated;while the planter will have ample time to gatherall the small grain ha can sow wiihontanydetriment or neglect on the part of liis corncrop; he will also, be enabled- lo afford moreand better pastures for his hogs..The soldierwho risks his life, and undergoes all privatfons,foi the defence of your property must be fed.their farailes must not suffer. Let oat- planters go lo work now and prepare for a largeyield from our next crop.

Obtaining permits from tbe Brigadier,Rev. Mr. Whilden, of Charleston,S. 0^ Capt. W. J.Talor, Lieut. Boatick,Inman and myself set out at ao earlyhour this morning for our trip. After we

had gone about two miles up tbe mountain6ide w« were overtaken by Capt. R .Z.ffarlee, and Lieutenants Richardsonon (lie same mission- that we were on:After baiting and - resting with ns a* aborttime we resumed our walk until we cameto a spring on the uppe? side of the road.The spring had been dug out as a cave onaccouutof the peculiar clay found here.It is used to make fire proof bricks. Bricksmade of this dirt or clay are not affectedbj the hottest furnacc. At this spring wefound Mr. James D. Foster, who lived afew hundred yards farther up the mountain,and used water from this spring.Be unlocked the door opening to the

spring and offered us his cup, and, as wehad Become thirsty from heat aud ascend-ing the hill, we thanked the old man, and.accepted his offer. Aftoi* satiating our

thirst, we b«ga»-to make some inquiries asto the places of interest on the mountain.He appeared perfectly acquainted with themountain and directed us to several placeswhich wo found impracticable to visit, atpresent-. He directed us. to the 'RockCity," The "Great Lake," and the "RockCreek Falls." We left for the "Peak"towards the Tennessee promising ourselvesthat if an opportunity present itself thatwe should visit these places. We are nowou the top of the Mountain and soon arrivedat the beautiful little village calledSummerville. There are no very expensivebuildings* but all are neatlyarranged. Only a few persons are now

living in this village, owing I presumeto tbe condition of tbo country. After |pasting to tlie extreme end of townwe met with Co). D.uiiel E. Cocke, ofGeneral Morgan's command. The Colonetinvited us into bis bouso but we thankbimand excused ourselves on account oftime. He was very communicative. Hesoon told us that he was a native of theOld Dominion, and appeared proud to claimit as his native State. He is a wealthypfanter. He walked1' to the edge of themountain and showed us one of bis farm*in the valley. He is one of tbe F.F. V'slie said that Morgan had promised to goto camp Chase at an early day. Bidding theColonel adieu we proceeded to tbe point,where we found a half dozen members oftbe signal corps. They were continuallytransmitting dispatches, eit{i& to or from*tbe front. This was tfti'second post. Thefirst beiDg in the city. The corps havaposts At prominent points along tie rontefrom the General's Headquarters to the outposts.These posts are generally aboutthree or four miles apart. By means ofthis corps dispatches may be -sent along distance in a very few minutes. Theysignal from one to another by certain wavesof a dag. The meaning of tha particularmoves of the flags are of course not knownto any except themselves.

t From the Point we bad a magnificentview of> this mountainous country. Theyalleylooked from tl^is high peak much ata*well cultivated garden of evergreens,the trees looked yke bushes or shrubbery.The roads looted as narrow walks the hillsas mounds. ?he broaA»river n* 5t Biml*about tile valley akirtwflPnb overhangingleV outspreading trees Teminds one of a

better than the one we left. The principaladvantage of this camp is, that we aremore to ourselves, and not so much orowdedby trd^s.
