In earnest.

--The Sumter (Ga.) Republican, in noticing the action of planters to substitute grain for the cotton crop as the best war policy, states that Dr. Jarratt has instructed the overseer of his plantation, in Stimter county, not to plant any cotton whatever, but to plant 1,200 acres in corn, potatoes, &c., to aid in supplying provisions for the South during the war. This is the spirit which will soon "conquer a peace," and lift the blockade.
