Two enntrihutious to Tin-: Citii-n in some of its recent issues mi-lit have set our mountain farmers to thinking, and to revolve the question in their mitnls whether they were pursuing the ri.sjlit paths toward impr.

The substantial "c aluiral interest t the niouutai i count " is in the dai , in Ixt'f, ill inutLOii. in f. ii't and in the vine. In the first there is sc; re 'v any limit to demand, always, of j nuse, ha '.ty projurr regard ior ti;dity, I-or dullc.- and cheese, the whole iiited States miht safely tu .1 to Wes c-.) No. .11 Carolina for supplies. The ow'iy demand for beef and mul on imposes upon sueli sec tions as can economically pr ducc them, the nceessiiv of providi the supply. All the Atlantic S.a.cs are looking to the fntcriur for their meats. Kn'jh'iid And the Continent are 1ool'ij to the t'niicd States for the same. The population of the civilized world is steadily increasing; its prosperity as well is the ability to indulge its tastes and wants, carry with it a steadily increasing consunip- j tion. I ur mountain section, with its mani fold ad vantages, not t lie least of which is its greater pruxiinily ti the centres ot dsniand, should prepare itself to enter into the emulous race.

And all this, and much nunc, can he done if the ri.L;ht view of conditions and capacities- will he taken by our mountain farmers. Another net of the Ilaytiau revolution is about closed by the inability of i 'resi dent l.eyitinic to sustain himself, and the lull triumph of I lypolite is only retarded by the un willingness of Legitime to sur icudcr I'ort au I'tince to his tender mci v'ic. The pillage Ithat city umpiestion ably has oeen a powerful incentive to the followers ot H . polite who regard war as the leuiliinate held tor carnage and pluti- 1 ;er, and elVeeLui iioihiu unless it is .vritlen in blood under wited with spoil, f his is cdifviuii example to the colored :ace in thel'iiited Slates who are persist- -ti liy told of their ability not only to jjn v , 111 tiieinseUes. but to Liovctll others. 1 lie siaves of llayti may have been once. .0 t he extent of bondage, what those in : lie (nitcd Stales were.
