PLEAsAST YIEw, Aug. 1, 1858.
As one Of the subscribers sud readers Of your
excellent paper was highly pleased at the request
yOu made not long since, In Of your issues, for
the farmers to give through your columns such in
formation as they might deem useful to their plants
ing eolsborers For one, Iassure you that there is
no department in your paper that is read more
eagerly, and with more satisfaction and pleasure
than that which pertains to the agricultural interest
Of cur country.
The wheat has turned out something like one-haf
Of good crop, say from six to fifteen bushels
The quality is Inferior the berry light and poorly
mstured. We have several varieties OF wheat
amongst Us. The best this year are the early
varieties. What is called here the Red Wheat or
Oresn, is generally the best this year, the berry
being full and plump, and weighing IRON sixty 70
sizty-fve pounds to the bushel while most oil the
other kinds fall far short Of sixty TO the busnel
The White Wheat has sustained q greater injury
from the rust than any other variety 1eonsioer
the White Wheat very uncertain crop IN TINS lo>
cslity.
The Oct Crop may be said 10 be nearly total
failure. There has been but few crops harvested
ALL and those that have been saved are oil very
inferior quality. Most of the farmers here have
uOt saved any, The rust in the Dat crop is unpre-
cedented within the recollection of the oldest far
mers with whom I have cOnversed on the subject.
This malady seems to have been very prevalent and
fatal this season. 1t has injured the Corn IN some
/ fields The Corn CROP however, for the most part,
looks promising and We are in expectancy of very
renumeratDg fields this fall of this essential grain,
at least to Tennessee raised farmer. Should the
pleasant showers continue they have been for the
last two months, the crop will certainly be very
good Just now we are beginning to need rain, and
should it continue dry through August Corn will be
very materially damaged. Old Corn is now selling
from 81 % to 81 90 per barrel and is tOlerably
plenty in the country.
Vegetables of all kind are generally good and there
is an average supply of fruit.
The health of the country is not good. There is
more sickness in this neigbbOrhoOd than have
known since my scjOurn here, which has been neal
nine years. W. s. MAssIE.

In the last Congressional election Blair received
$3.50 votes in the city, and $50 in the country
making whole vote of 6,035.
The Republican continues:
After one of the most extraordinary contests that
has ever been presented in St Louis, or in the
Union, we have the satisfaction to announce that
the Black Republican ticket, headed by FRANCIS
P. BLAIR Jr has been completely routed by the
free and independent voters Of St. Louis, in the
exercise Of their highest right Of sovereignty. 1t
has been done deliberately, after full discussion,
and by a majority which is gratifying to the Demo
cratic party of St. Louis it must be to the whole
Union. We have fought all the issues presented by
them, fairly and equally-Blaek Republicanism,
EmanoipatioDism Free Labor, and everything else
and they have been beaten at all points, and the
result is the defeat Of Blair and all his party This
revolution has not been effected by this or that man.
but by concentration of the votes of men Of all
nations and from every State in the UniOn-men
who worked hard and stesdfastly, and from patriN
otto motives, and from single desire to put down

forth let it be understood that st. Louis is Mis-
souri, eity-that she sympathises with the people of
Missouri-and that, with a worldwide commerce,
she will not separate from those who have cherished
her in her infancy and made her what she is To

the Cass-Herran Convention Stands, etc.
WASHINGTON, August The New Granada lega-
ton has no official information yet of the action Of
its government on the Cass Herran Convention, nor
has any special agent of that government arrived
reported in some newspapers. It seems to be prob
able however that the seventh article, relating to
coal depot has been stricken out and that the clause
of the first article which has been modified is that
which relates to the responsibility of the New Gran
adan governu ent for preserving good order across
the Isthmus of Panama. New Granada Acknowledges
its liability in the language of the Convention and
will pay damages arising out of the difficulties Of the
18th of April 1885, but it appears it objects to that
part Of the clause which declares New GRANADA re-
aponsbe for the preservation of good order on the
Isthmus in the Language of the Convention, 'arisng
out Of its privilege aud obligation to preserve peace
and good order along the Transit route" 1t is said
this declaration is too general, and light involve
that government in difficulties in other cases where
it would not be willing to acknowledge responsible

The Court at Burksville, KY, recently gave
verdict against the owner of a distillery for the
value of negro man, for having sold the black 8
jug of whisky, on which the slave became intO1i
Gated, and was in consequence drowned in attempt
ing to swim on horse back q swollen creek. The
accident proven to have occurred from the drum
folly and mismansgement Of the slave. There is
Law of the State which makes the sellOr of liquor
to slave liable for all the consequences from the
use of the liquor by the negro This verdict, it is
thought will haye an important influence in arrest
ing the sale of whisky to slaves.
