MEMPHIS is by far the largest and most
important city on the Mississippi river be.
tween st. Louis, which is 43O miles above
and New Orleans, which is 73O miles below
It is the entrepot of four railroads, travcrsing
North, South, East and West. These rail
roads have added greatly to the commercial
growth Of Memphis, though it is the river
traffic which has built the city. The ship
ments of cotton alone from the port in the
year ending Sept. 1860, amounted to 400 900
and its general business, in ordinary times
is immense. 1t is the great point for cotton
and other produce Of Western Tennessee
BY last census the population is put down
at about %, 900 souls but the city has been
so long beleagucred and kept in a panic, and
so many able ebodied citizens have been i'm.

"a lady came into his office to consult hin

his usual politcness, but suddenly noticing
that she wore the Confederate coIors promi

Crops md prospects.

EdiJo0s Telegraph 1t is nearly the time OF the
year. that the farmer usually prepares for gather
ing in the rich harvest that Nature generally SO
bountifuly bestows upon his babor in the west.
Amid war, and its vicissitudes, and an upward
tendency of every article that the farmer has TO
purchase, it was hoped that the wheat crop this
year would be of more than an average yield and
quality.
But after having an excellent opportunity to
judge having spent several days travelling through
the country-I am convinced that the crop of
spring wheat is almost an entire failure. The in
sect has done its work well, and fearlully. Two
thirds ofall the spring wheat sownwiu not pro

will grow without cultivation, and if wheat is to

is good and heavy, but the wet weather has in

4. q. Prattin Trouble.

ORDERED OFF.-Gen. Blunt yesterday Or
dored A. F. Pratt, the present editor Of the
Eaguirer, to leave the State. Pratt came TO
the city as sort of pa1tnerin the sutler shop
of the Third Wisconsin Cavalry. He left that
place after difficulty with the suter, and by
his importantly with Gen Blunt succeeded in
obtaining the privilege of taking hold of the
Enquirer when it was suppressed, and he has
eince run that concern. He has, it is under
stood, varied his employment by writing home
hbellous articles on Kansas affairs, which have
been published in the Wisconsin papers.
This order is just rebuIe to an officious
intermeddler, who had no connection with the
regiment, but obtained little credit by claim
ing to be attached to it, and has caused it more
trouble than all the jayhawl1ers. His low jokes,
indecent sneers and i'll disguised sympathy with
the rebel cause, have well earned this penalty.
The regiment feels the order quite as much of
a relief, as, under any circumstances, it can
prove to the people of the city and State
The original order sent him off in twenty-four
hours. On his representation that his clothes
we're still with the wusher woman and his
board bill unpaid the time was extended two
days further, for him to fix up his private af-
| fairs - LeareRlc0rth Times.

Wool GrOwimg.-The wool clip this season
has come most opportunely for our farmers The
prospects of most crops are not fattering. Wheat
would have been good throughout this county had
it not been attacked, and much oft destro, ed by
the Chinch bug. There are few fields that have
not suffered more less from this destructive in
sect, Our farmers have had similar experience for
several years past, and many determined uphave
exchanging their system oflarming--to depend less
exclusively upon spring wheat as a staple crop
to raise more stock and wool, and winter wheat.
Wool promises to be in demand at remunerative
prices, for three or four years at least, and per-
haps longer. Even at the prices at which it has
been sold this season it has paid well. As more
interest is being turned into this channel, every
suggestion or relation OF experience becomes val
liable. Mr.. c. Nj. Clark, Of Whitewater, writes
to the Wisconsin Farmer his experience in regard
to the policy of raising "bIooded" sheep. He
