Make the inquiry General.

In the Senate, on Monday last the resolu.
tion Of inquiry into the causes which led to
the disaster of Bull Run, was taken up aud a
debate of some length ensusd. Mr.. Sher.
man, of this State, thought that the inquiry
should extend to the whole conduct of the
war. Many orders of commanding officers
need inquiring into. For instance, there
was issued by one an order to receive no
cotton; from another to receive no slaves; a
high officer, the Adjutant General, has been
travelling about the country to pick up
scraps of evidence which are worth nothing
when obtained All these matters, and
many others, he thought, needed inquiring
into. If he could infuse into the army the
spirit of the people, the war would be soon
ended. The resolution was adopted.

TIE sacred soil of Virginia will not be long
unoccupied after the close of the war. In
nearly every portion of Virginia where the

is of very superior quality, and it is said
many of the soldiers have made up their
minds to purchase farms, if they can possibly
obtain them, and make that country their

A REMIE1sCENoE OF BULL RUE,-A spicy and
hot correspondence is going on between Cap
tain Griffin, of GFifin's Battery, and General
Barry, in regard to the loss Of the battle Of
Bull Run. The oap'ure Of Grifin's Battery
was the beginning Of the disaster on the ILL.,
fated day, and Captain Griffin has always
boldly proclaimed that the loss Of his guns was
the result Of an upDilitsry order of Major
Barry, who, as a reward for his blundcr, has
since been made Brigadier. The severe ma

Joe Holt'a Idens, &c.


& WASHINGTON, December g. 1861.
Mr.. Joseph Holt is on visit TO his home
in Kentucky, and has written a letter here
warmly approving the passage Of resolutions
in the House of Representatives recommend-
ing the President TO place Messrs Mason aud
Slidell in precisely the same situation that
the rebels have placed Colonels Corcoran and
Wood. He says that the only way Of intim.
idating the rebels is to show them that the
legitimate Government is in earnest and will
punish treason. He further writes that the
loyal people of Kentucky are heart sick
waiting for an onward movement of the
Union troops in Kentucky. 1t is no secret
that Mr., Holt also asks for an advance here
Just as soon as the General in command con-
sideTs it prudent to move onward. The po'
litical interests of the country, Nc. Holt
writes, demand more active work by the
Government troops. This is the story told
by almost all Kentucky and Tennessee men
now here. They assert that it will be i'm
possible to keep up the pablo sentiment in
either Of those States to the right piLch in
favor of the Government, unless some ad-
vance be made.
President Lincoln most fully sympathizes
with this view of the subject. Mr.. Holts
letter. alluded to above, was communicated
TO him, and be avowed his opiuion freely
that Mr.. Holt was right. He also stated that
no ndu lIequeuuJ eAPEosssu this VPihiVu "
General Mcclellan. 1t is well-known In
Government circles here that the President
and Secretary Cameron favor an early ad-
vance of our troops. General Mcclellan
admits the propriety of such q movement,
and only asks that he may select his own
time for it, as he will be guided solely by q
desire to save life and make victory nearly
certain.
-r THE TROOPS.
Troops still daily arrive in Washington.
Last week twelve regiments came in. 1t is
expected that as many more will come this
week. Yet there is no fighting over the
river, and no Immediate prospect of an ad-
vance. 1t is rumored, however, that quite a
number of the best troops here will soon be
sent South, to operate along the coast.

NoTE.-Where blanks occur under either of
the above headings there lie reported 10 be lit
til ii any increase Of breadth seeded over that
of 1860, or of crop OF 1860 on hand
1t appears from the above that the
breadth Of wheat sown in the State is
about one-fourth more; oil corn nearly
one-titth more, and Of pork for market
there will be at least third mole
than in 1860. And of the crop of corn
OF 1860, there appears to be over one
third, and Of wheat over one-fourth on
hand. That the indications for a good
crop of wheat were never better, and
that.the yield would fully equal that OF
last year, l6 bushels per acre as the av-
erage of the State and that about one
half of the corn was planted by the 18th
OF May.
In addition to the above, | learn that
al the cereal crops Indicate an excellent
yield that preparations are making for
a greater breadth OF Sorghum and I'm
phee than IN any previous year that
much Ct the land has been seeded with
clover and timothy, probably double
that Of any previous year. In short,that
our farmers are working aud seeding as
much land, and perhaps more, than they
may find force enough to secure the
yield therefrom.
As published last year, the weld OF
wheat was upwards Of l9, 0OO, 900 bush
els, or an average OF Is bushels to the
acre; add for the additional breadth of
land sown last fall and this spring. at
The same average per acre, at least
4,OOO,OOO bushels, and we have the
probable amount of 23,0OO,OOO bushels
tor lS6l-all Of which can be spared ont
OF the State as we have about ). OOO. 900
bushels on hand for home consumpticn
for year. This, if sold at SO cents per
bushel, will give us $ll,5O0,O 900.
II The corn goes into beet and pork.
The published estimate OF last year from
this office was 100000 worth for
both these items. This sum is nearly
equally divided between them. From
the data obtained We have pretty sure
prospective increase of one-third for
pork over 1860, and from extensive in
quiry, and the known average increase,
one-fourtb may be safely put down as
the probable increased product Of beef
cattle, This will give the aggregate
value $9,s75, 900 for 1861, for beef snd
pork, beyond our own consumption
but as the prices may range lower, il
would be altogether safe TO place the
amount at eight millions Of dollars.
| The result Of all the above is, that the
present prospective product Of this State
for the year 1851, beyond our home
consumption, for wheat. hogs and beef
| will b worth 80, 200, 900.

ighty Thousand Troops for Cairo


There Is undoubtedly very heavy
project on foot. Ii il is true that eighty
thousand troops have been, or will soon
be ordered to Cairo, it is evident that it
means something. Government does
not want that number OF men to stay
there through the summer season and be
cut Oft by disease. Something else is
meant. We presume that tic idea is
to march large force into the South
probably to occupy Memphis and some
other points along tie river. There
will probably be two lines Of march
one by the river aud one by land, and
we predict there will be some warm
work. The Western counties of Ken.
lucky are almost unanimously secession,
and We expect they would rather fight
than run any day. The river bank,
too, is pretty well dotted with batteries
which will cause more or less trouble.
We should not be surprised at all il
there should be some pretty sharp fight
ing down that way.
