The Daily Dispatch: April 10, 1862., [Electronic resource], Cotton planting (search)
Cotton planting
--A correspondent of the Savannah Republican, writing from Washington, Ga., April 2d, says:
"Our planters had a meeting yesterday, which was largely attended, and they unanimously resolved and pledged themselves not to plant any cotton for sales the present year.--They will raise just enough for their own domestic consumption, and plant all their lands in grain.
Our people are determined to support the army, and help to whip the fight in every way."
A letter dated Talbotton, Ga., says:
"We had a glorious meeting here yesterday on cotton planting.
Several of our largest planters will not plant a seed, among them, Major J. H. Walton, who has been in the habit of planting 600 acres in cotton.--So, also, old Mr. Searcy, and his son, Dr. Searcy, and Mr. J. Canker.
I do not believe there will be 300 acres of cotton planted in the county.
We have a cavalry company in progress, for the equipment of which $1,000 have been subscribed."

The Daily Dispatch: September 3, 1863., [Electronic resource], What Gen. Toombs
What Gen. Toombs says about reconstruction.
--We find the following letter from General Robert Toombs in the last number of the Sumter Republican:
Washington, Ga.,Aug. 17, 1863. My Dear Sir:
Your letter of the 15th instant, asking my authority to contradict the report that "I am in favor of reconstruction," was received this evening.
I can conceive of no extremity to which my country could be reduced in which I would for a single moment entertain any proposition for any union with the North on any terms whatever.-- When all else is lost, I prefer to unite with the thousands of our own countrymen who have found honorable deaths, if not graves, on the battle-field.
Use this letter as you please. Very truly, your friend, &c., R. Toombs. Dr. A Bees, Americas, Ga.
