GEN. MILES' SPEECH. Extract from a spoecb of Gen. W. B. Miles, a vctoran Mississippi planter, de livered at the lnterstates farmers' Con vention, lately held in Atlanta, which wo comtueud to the nnieful considera tion of our North Carolina farmers: I have heard atuoe I have been here, one universal groaa ovor the depression of agriculture In the Southern States. Speakers have culling phraseology to fit exact sentences, to mako happy and felicitons addresses, but I have not heard from the lips of a single u:an one single suggestion as to what is to oe done to relieve the depression, [applause,] •xa«pt,(if you^illpardon me for say ing it,) a species of inianity in regard' to tho tariff. If you are iu distress now, you cannot get relief immediately by any possible oliange in the tariff You cannot ohange it for the present. Hut, gentlemen, if we came here to attend to tho farmer's business, let u-i do that, aud leave politics where it belong'. [Ap plause.] 1 was one of the idiots who under- J took to pay a debt of $20,000 at thj close of tho late war, bearing ten per cent, interest, and I have done it iu twenty cotton crops. [Applause.] Let. me tell you, gentleman, if you expect to succeed as farmers yeu must live quiet ly at home. You must wear level heads, and you must use blight, keen eyes. Vou must be careful; you must bt sen sible, you must be honest with your tenants and true to yourselves ; but above all, don't allow your cotton bales, when Sold, to bring you less money than you have laid out in expense in nuking it. There is the secret. [Applause.] 1 will tell you how to do that. Gentleman ask me how it would happen. Don't raise all cotton. [Applause.] Have you ever made a calculation as to the expenditure of these ten Southern States for what they could raise at home ? Over sue hundred millions of dollars per annum. How much do jou pay for your pork 1 Pork and bacon brought to theso ten States costs over fifty millious ol dollars a year. I have stated that the mule flesh brought into these States costs at least from twenty to twenty-two mil lions of dollars per year. I state to you (entleincn, that the fences you keep up ost you millions ol dollars a year. Now, gcutlemen, raise your own pork and you will keep in your pockets fifty millious a year. [Applause.] Raiso your own mules and you will keep in tho other pocket twenty-fivo millions of dollars. [Applause.] Pass a law by the legisla ture of each State that shall go into ef fect on the first of next January, to tear down every pannel of fence that sur rounds a cultivated field and fenoes only to keep stock aud raise it in, and yon will keep at homo millions of dollars. [Applause.] Bctorr tbe war I was fortunate to be 1 rich. I owned four hundred slaves, 1 and 1 never bought a mule My cotton crop was clear It is a little difficult now, because I have fouud out, if the convention will pardon me, tho doubtful historical point as to what has become of the ten lost tribes of Israel. I know ; perfectly well now who they are. They are the negroes. [Laughter ] Because, over this broad laud his religious prej- i udices will not let bim work on j- day. [Loud laughter and appla _ ?|, •' and his intense Christianity, of cour» will not allow him to work on Sunday, ' *'i that, with the free negro, you cannot raise stock. Your stook requires at. i, tcution on Saturday and Sunday just the same as on Monday and Tuesday. Vou will lave to make arraiigeaieul with some white persou to attend to your stock or you cannot do it. I am giv.ng you my experience. Now, gen tlemen, what is tbe use, when you kuow if you rfill think, precisely what is the matter to be wrangling here over polit cal questions and listening to political essays. If 1 want to study tho tariff question T would go to my library, aud turn down tbe leaves of iiinc books where I would look into the speeches of Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun and Silas Wright, who diseuss ' ed that question in their day as intel „ lectual giants. [Applause.]. I do not carc to listen to any small balder dashes on that question. [Laughter ] I have on my property now, the rise of four hundred negroes. I cannot state with precise accuracy, but I know that it has not lequired one thousand dollars a yeat to buy all the dry goodu that _ clothe these negroes with the greatest j comfort. Twelve hundred dollars, 1 | am satisfied will cover the total outlay | for clothing and for suits, bu'. when I j touch the oily hog I have put out about i $6,000 to feed hiui; and I have to pay | annually from $2,000 to $3,000 for the ! uiulcs they work, because they will wear , j out and die. Now the tariff does not . ' hurt you at all on your mule aud your . i hog, nor d:es it help you. The little , duty upon the SI,OOO of dry goods that . 1 buy is uot a mole in the suubcain to those expenses. , As ii is now, I bayo to make about j 20 miles of fence. I have to keep what . is called a lawful fence. You, gentle -3 men, may be smarter at it than 1 am, ] but 1 cannot make a mile nf fenco for t less than SIOO. There is $2,V00 put . away in fenee It kocps out of ray u ' corn and cotton about half a dozen old ] j razorback sows and a parcel of grunty* - shouts and pigs, worth altogether m i i' mord than QfoO. [Applause.] If , want to be utilitarians be j raise everything vou want at home tlip* i you possibly oan, and buy nothing ex , cept when you are compelled to. Why, 0 if 1 had a son-in-law who would buy an | axe helve or a hoe helve, 1 think 1 should . sue out a commission of lunacy against him. [Laughter.] Make everything at . home. Spend no money except that j which you arc compelled to spend, and r you will get rich. , Gentlemen, if I was a younger man : | than 1 am, I might be tempted to walk , ] through tropical flowers and handsotnelv . ; entwined festoons, but 1 am uot here i, i now for that purpose. lam here to tell j the plain truth, 1 will not say more to you than that 1 have seen the whole ex r i tent of this broad country— not the cot -11 ton Sta es alone- I know it well from - the northern lakes to the Atlantic sca -1 board and the Gulf coast. I know it , from rock-bound New England to tho I | goldeu ifatc of tho I'acific. I have been | all over it. I have looked at it well. , You have the best soil and the most sa r | lubrious climate in all the Union, and it a 1 is your fault if you do uot make use of , ! it. Y'ou have every variety of soil. ~ You own the valleys and tho hills where tbe red vine fliug, her clustered curls in a thousand rings around the arms of the j i mulberry. [Applause.] See that you s appropriate and make good use nf what nature has bountifully bestowed upoa . you. And tho man who wauts to leid . ! you away from the high calling and lead , \ you into the cesspool ot dirty politics, , | tell bim he is mistakes, you are not here for that purpose. You waut to atnelio , rate vvur own condition, aud that of your , friends and neighbors. Let tbem go. , Do your duty, and if you will take my , advice and be profited by it, my word I for it, twelve months wou't go over . your heads until you thiuk the sun is . , brighter. [Applause.] \\je are glad to learn that a number j 1 ;of Stokes county people, who have been i' going elsewhere with their leaf tobacco i have turned their faces to Greensboro, 1 and are now selling on this market. The number this week, we learn from ,' an observant dealer, ia over twenty. I i j This change in favor of Greeusboro i« ■ : ! due for the most part to the faciltics j : ! afforded by the Cape Fear and Yidkin j Valloy railroad, and the number will no 1 doubt iucreasc, as the tobacco season ii j just begun and prices here are good. Meanwhile the railroad is forp \l way still farther toward Mt. i I Workman. N \ ' ..

I'ARMING WILL PAY. A careful survey of tbe agricultural interests ol a certain lown in New Eng land with whose farmers we have a per sonal acquaintance for a number of years, discloses some facts that apply to farming in general. The men who havo stuck to farming and who have worked faithfully, but no harder than any suc cessful busiuess man wo ks, are out of debt, or nearly jo, aud havo an air and j reputation of thrift. The men who havo been continually trading cows and chang itig from one thing to another in their farm mauagement, with no evident plan or system, are as poor as they were ten years ago, if not worso off. A good many of this class are men who have not put inuob real labor iDto their busi ness. Some of them have been shift less, others bavc been actiul laz;, while others have worked well in summer and have loafed much of the time in winter ( evidently making no plans foi the sea son's work. It is no wonder that this class complaiu that farming doesn't pay. Tbey won't make any huMuess pay. Tbe taouble is the man- not in the bus iness.—Homestead. WHY SHE AVOIDED HIM.

KRUPP'S GREAT GUN FOR THE ITALIAN NAVY.

The railroad truck, built expressly for this purpose, was 75 feet long, with with thirty-two wheels and sixteen I axles, but its length could form bend -1 ings, at six points, to pass around curves on tho line of rails, ibiti mrriagc, with out its load, weighed ninety-six tons.
