w We have not, for several days, heard
anything in relation to the terrible Bank
War, in which the Stock concerns were to
swallow the Free institutions, and then turn
round and swallow each other, the last one
being expected to swallow itself-a feat
that has been frequently performed by Banks.
Perhaps those at the head of affairs have re-
considered the matter, and determined to

not, public opinion and the "force of circum-

DEFICIENCY IN THE CORN CROP

From the Louisville Courier, 19th.l
From all parts of the West we have but
one account of the present seasons corn crop.
The long continued drouth in every section
has fairly used up prospects that in the spring
were so flatteriBg to the farmer. By means
of the papers, the favors of our friends, and
conversation with those who have Travelled
through the different agricultural districts, we
are forced to the conclusion that in three
fourths of Illinois, nearly all of Missouri,
large portion of Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and
Tennessee, the corn crop for the present
season will be below half of an average yield.
The above named States in 1850, according
to the census returns, produced the following
quantities of this staple:

w- The work on the Virginia and Ten.
nessee Road, we learn, is being prosecuted
with an energy that promises completion Of
the whole line at an early day. Three gangs
of hands are constantly employed in track
laying, and tho trains will soon be running
regularly to Wytheville. From Wytheville
to the Tennessee line is about seventy miles.
With proper allowance for all reasonable
contingencies, we shall have the Virginans
knocking at our doors in less than twelve
months from this time.

ANOTHER MAIL RoBBER IN LIMBo.-The
U. 5. District Attorney informs us that the

the Jail of Bount county, to await his trial
at the next term of the Federal Court, on
charge ofrobbing the mail,
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1854-08-25
Total
3l6,S53,393


If we estimate half crop the present
season, and it is more likely to fall below than
go above it, the failure, in round numbers, in
these half dozen States, reaches the large
amount of l5s,426,696 bushels.
The direct loss sustained will be very great
to the farmer, but it operates more disastrous
ly in another way. There must necessarily
be corresponding failure in the hog crop,
and partial one in that of beef.
AS our readers are aware the prospective
future Is causing producers to part with their
hogs at the most nominal rates. In many
places we hear of offers being made at rs
cents per hundred without buyers. Our hog
owners cannot afford to pay the enormous
prices corn is bringing and feed that grain to
stock. Hence the state of things. 1t would
be impossible TO estimate the total loss to the
six States mentioned above, yet as the Detroit
Free Press remarks, it cannot be less than one
million Of dollars.
AS evidence of the extent of the drouth,
we subjoin an extract from letter written by
gentleman in Edwardsville, Illinois, to his
friend in this county:
The like of it have never before seen. IL
IS noao two months and t,oo days since ace hare
had rain, saving slight shower the Goth
June, amounting to nothing. | have never
before seen immense fields of corn burned up,
wited, twisted up, cooked, parched, and yet
it don't rain. | think may safely say from
what have seen, the corn crop will be def
cient, 10 to IS per cent in all southern Illinois.

Dos'T HE WISH HE MAY GET IT!-Moses
w. Nelson, who short time ago killed a
man somewhere in the upper end of the
State, has instituted suit, placing the
damages at ten thousand dollars, against the
proprietors of the lonesborough Journal
for publishing what common rumor reported
to be the facts pertaining to the fatal transac-
ton. We know nothing of the merits of
the present case, but there is one thing we
have noticed on the road through life-that
persons who sue on account of character
generally belong to the class most needing
it. Nose may be damaged by the publica-
ton involved, but not to the extent of ten
thousand dollars, and nothing short of a
Hardin county jury would be likely to render
him that amount.
The following is portion of the Journals
notice of the bringing Of the suit:
awe have no means to spare in litigation,
nevertheless we will meet the case. IL twelve
men of Washington county will say that we
have committed crime for which we should
be punished, we will most humbly bow to-
their decision. We do not believe we have
injured Moses Nelson one ota in that article;
our offence, in our estimation is, that we no.
ticed the affair at all, and we hope and trust
in God that the people of Washington coun-
ty are not prepared to say that poor man
shall be shot down in the street like a dog
and because the perpetrator of the crime
happens to be related to those who are veal
thy and influential, that notice of the affair
must not be published. When this state of
things is brought about in Tennessee, away
goes liberty, justice and everything that is
sacred.
This is our offence; we published what we
believed true statement Of the case, and
for so doing VIC are to be harassed with
law suit, our means wasted, and our reputa-
ton forever blasted, if jury can be induced
to do it. We believe it cannot be done, and
shall wait patiently the result.
That's what the editors say. We trust it
will not be thought libeous in us to express
the hope that full and ample justice may be
done all the parties involved.

THE ST. LOUIS RloT.-From the Intelli-
gencer ofFriday, the 18th inst, we learn that,
through the activity of the public authorities,
order has been restored. A public meeting
held at the Court House to support the au-
thorities had much effect, added to which the
enrolment of a special police, the posting of
placards ordering all boys home, and various
other measures, prevented any further out
break. The special police alluded to con-
sisted of about six hundred privates, and
over one hundred mounted officers, captains
and lieutenants. This force was managed
admirably, no part of the city being left I'M
garded, and constant communication being
kept between the head quarters, at the tdbac-
CO warehouse, and the different bands who
patrolled the streets in companies of twenty
men each. On Friday morning, as we learn
from the Republican, this special police was
disbanded, the city having remained per-
fectly quiet up to that time. As regards
the destruction of property, the Intelligencer
remarks: ... ....
"The injury to property was confined Alto
gether to drinking houses, most of them re-
sorts of the lowest character, and, at no time,
was any serious apprehensions felt that the
houses of private citizens or the churches OF
any religious body would be attacked. The
reports of design upon the college, st. IA
vier's Church and ST. Patrick's, were wholly
unfounded; no disposition of the kind was at
any time manifested by any portion of the
mob, no suggestion of the sort was heard
from any of the combatants during any of
the different street engagements; not even
where the mob was assembled in full force
in the immediate neighborhood of Catholic
institutions was any such suggestion made
We have turned to all the sources of infor-
nation at our command in vain for any evil
dencc of hostility on the part of the rioters,
Catholics, or any other religious body, as
such. The whole disturbance wears every
mark of having been an aimess, meaningless,
and wholly unprecedented series of attacks
upon all drinking houses of certain class,
by a mob of ruffians who had pursued their
opponents into an Irish doggery, and having
Quilted it, found the sport so much to their
mind, that they determined to finish the Sew
more of the same sort still left"
