We learn that the wheat crop has generally made
much worse 'turn OUT than was expected at the
time of harvest 1t is estimated that the crop will
fall short full third This is attributed to the heads
being badly filled, in consequence of the frost the
spring, from the effects of which the wheat seemed
to have recovered, until it was threshed.
The rains, we understand have been singularly
partial. Some neighbourhoods have suffered Sc
verely from drought, whilst others have had rain
enough. On the. line of the Louisa Railroad to
Gordonsville, for example, we hear that the corn

twenty or thirty miles above Rlchmond,lh e farms
are suffering, but still the corn promises we'll On

Here and in some of the counties south OF James

Brown over Trousdale of 1904 Gen Taylors majority
in the same counties 4,52s showing Browns loss
be l524 Tayor's majority in all East Tennessee
5,ls3.
The Register also gives returns from thirteen counties in
Middle Tennessee which, it says, have dissipated all
hope OF the election Of Gov Blown. The Wings, it
adds "were confident OF Their strength, and by swap
ping and other means they have permitted themselves
be whipped mostIglorously" Trousdaes gain 1--WE pre-
sume upon the vote OF 1870 the thirteen counties, the
Register makes 4a9 the maoity for N S. Brown over
A. Brown in the whole State, only 1915 In ele
ven of these counties Trousdale gets 437 majority; nthe
same counties Taylor had majority of 1850 making
Irousdales gain since the Presidential election 2OS7
The result OF all these returns then, is that in thirty
counties heard from in East and Middle Tennessee,
Brown gets majority OF 1857, where Taylor got
orty of 6l7S, and Trousdales gain upon the vote be-
tween Taylor and Cass, is, Therefore, Bell Taylors
majority in the whole State was6226 West Tennessee
embracing eighteen counties, six counties in East, and
nineteen in Middle Tennessee being forty three in ALL
to be heard from; in which Taylor got majority of l8.
AT the rate of gain obtained by rousdae in the counties
heard from he would more than cancel this and Browns
majority so far Of 1867 The telegraph has doubtless
brought us the result OF intelligence from much larger
portion of the State. The Register reports gain for
Trousdae of u in Hademan county, and of GO in the city
OF Memphis
The same paper gives the following intelligence from
the Congressional elections: In the first district, Carter
Cooke, Greene, Hawkins and Washington counties give
Andrew Johnson Democrat, 1864; Taylor Whig 1908;
Campbell, Independent Democrat 29S. The other two
counties are Sullivan and Johnson Sullivan gives 1rous-
dale 1929 and Johnson gave Gen Taylor BIG. A. John

Int the ID district Watkins and Cooke, both Wings
candidates with no Democratic opposition. I'VE were

Watkins has been elected, the so far being, Watkins
5439, Cooke 1887.
In five counties Of the Sd district, Anderson, Whg has
1885, Lyon, Democrat, 1925; five other counties to be
heard from, in which Gen. Taylor got 1872 majority.
The Register states the following changes in the Legis-
ature:
The Democrats have gained in Greene, in Hawkins,
in Blount in Roane, in Hamilton and Marion, and
in Lawrence-total d.
The Wings have gained in Claiborne, in Monroe,
in Bradley and probably the senator in the Jonesboo
