The HARVEST AT THE SoUrH-A NEw
CHANNEL OF SupP,y.-The Charleston Price
Current Of the Goth, contains this state
ment:
ssOur market this season will present the
unusual feature of large foreign export of
wheat. We learn that single house in
this city has received notice of consignments
to the amount OF two hundred thousand
bushels. This, though large item in the
business, IS far from embracing the whole.
Nearly all of East Tennessee, the Northern
part Of Georgia. the Western part of North
Carolina, and the upper Districts Of our own
State, an immense region, admirably adapted
for the culture of wheat, will furnish their
contingents for our market during the pre-
sent year, and promise an indefinite increase
in future years. With proper arrangements
on the part OF our merchants, and proper fa-
cilities on the part of our railroads, we have
every right to expect that hereafter the ex-
portation of wheat and -four from Charleston,
will form one Of the leading textures 10 eur
commercial records.
ss1hus far, our exports Of wheat have
been mostly to Northern ports; but we learn
that arrangements have been effected for
shipments to Europe, where We have reason
to believe, the superior quality Of Southern
grain will make it a fayorite.''
The above is at once remarkable and
startling. 1t shows that the crop is not only
likely to be immense, but that supplies will
be obtained through new channels. The idea
of an export Of large quantities Of Southern
grain from Charlssson to Europe, is indeed,
q novelty. The indications are, that the
general harvest throughout the country, will
be millions Of bushels greater than in any
former year of our history. Heaven be
praised for such benifcent result.

Our friends at Mt. Pleasant may begin TO

The Executive Committee have con
tracted with W. r. Clark Esq; aud his
associates, TO construct the road through
to Skunk River for twenty-five thousand
FIVE hundred dollars pcrmile, finishing it
to Mt. Pleasant by the FIRST Of January next
and baring till the first Of November fol-
lowing TO build the other seven miles 70
the river. This sum is paid for grading,
bridging, and laying down the track, the
contractors furnishing the iron and cross
ties, and paying for the work that has al
ready been done AS We understand it,
they put in the necessary turn tables and
water stations for this sum, but all rolling
stock, and any necessary buildings put up
are to be paid for by the company. We
are not informed Of the amount of bonds
taken by the contractors.
We presume the board Of directors will
sanction this contract. LISA better one
for the company than the one just rcpudi-
ated and probably as good one when the
certainty of its completion is taken into
the account, in the short time specified, as
could have been made.

Gently took Mr.. JamesB. Clay to task rather
severely for having torn down the old man.
sion of his father at Ashland, as we have
already stated. Mr.. Clay felt himself ag-
grieved, and therefore very foolishly wrote
note to Mr.. Prentice inquiring whether he
held himself personally responsible as gen.
tlcman, for the offensive remarks. The re-
ply Of Mr.. Prentice is so much to the point
that we copy the Important portion:
Ipresume, sir, that all which it concerns
you to know from me, is whether Iwould ac-
cept challenge from you on account of my
comments in the Louisville Daily Journal of
the 18th inst. upon your communication
published in tho same paper on the same day.
Without putting you to the trouble of adj
dressing the question to me in due form, l
say to you would not. do not wish to
kill sou, and | am very clear in the opinion
that my article affords you neither just cause
nor rational pretext for killing me. |
made no attack or imputation upon your
private character, which for aught know, is
unobjectionable. I.mere.y gave utterance to
the thoughts and feelings naturally and nee
essarily excited in my mind, and, as believe,
in the whole public mind, by your demolsh-
ing the sacred old dwelling house of your
father, and selling the lumber. You stated,
in your published communication, that sas-
pensions both public and private had been
cast upon you for pulling down your fathers
house.
You thus admitted that your conduct had
already become amatter Of public notoriety
and disapprobation, and subject of public
aud private denunciation which you called
dispersion, yet these aspersions, so called,
had not been noticed by you. When you at
tempted defense of your. conduct, and as
signed your reasons for it, as you did in your
article of Wednesday, you certainly gave a
license for those comments of mine upon the
conduct and the reason, for which, as pre-
sumo, you now wish to hold me to q personal
responsibility.
My article was not tenth part so harsh
toward you personally as yours was toward
me.
You stigmatized me, by necessity
and a direct implication, as scalum
niator;' charged me in the same manner with
the prostitution Of the columns of my pa
per, and so used the words sliar and villain
as to show they were meant for me. res
ponde with more moderation than you had
u right to expect, merely denouncing that act
of yours, which, as it related to glorious
old memorial of departed greatness, was al
most, in its character, public act. and which
has made the heart of the nation recoil.
MIR. Prentice says, in conclusion, that he
shall take pleasure in correcting any mistate-
ments of facts that may be pointed out to
him.
We should suppose that Mr.. Clay would
take sober second thought before sending
another challenge.
