The SEASON CROPs.-We had fine rains
for several days last week, which we understand
were quite general. All our growing crops arc
in fine condition, and much Of the corn so fer
advanced as to give assurances of q most abund.
ant crop. One of the best evidences of it is,
that six or eight days ago, the selling price here
was 81 per bushel. 1t can now be bought
readily at 81 25, and engaged in any quantity
at 81, to be delivered in a short time. Fodder
has also fallen about one-half within & few days,
aud can now be had at $125 per hundred-Ma-

We learn from a private letter that a brilliant
STAIR came off near Tupelo, between about 1000
Yankees and a force Of Confederstes, on the 4th
inst. When the Yankees were first attacked by
our troops they imagined that there was only a
small handful, which they could easily dispose
of. They fought, therefore, with great fury for
a little while, but finding we had a sufficient
force to cope with them, they took to their heels
as usual. The entire foTcs was utterly routed
with a loss, as we are informed, Of some 200
killed and 500 wounded and prisoners. Our
loss was 20 killed and 80 wounded

Tie Richmond E1aHiasr has the following
references to this prisoner of war, now in Rich
mond
Nj. Cen Mccall graduated at West Point,
in the year 1923, and has since been in the ser
vice OF the old United States, through several
wars. On the breaking out Of The present rev.
olution, he was promoted, several times, and
faally became major-general of he Army Of
the Potomac. He has done little to distinguish
himself. His greatest battle was fought within
the last few days below Richmond, in which his
command was defeated, and, like the rest of
McClellan's army, partially demorslized. He
is shout sixty years Of age, of slender figure,
has dark hair, eyes, beard and moustscbe. His
expression is firm, and, though bis complexion
IS darker, reminds one Of the cast Of cOunten-
ance possessed by Gen. Walker, the hero Of
Nicaragua. He bears his captivity with as much
serenity as his piqus and modification will
allow. Two other Federal generals were taken
about The same time, and were expected up last
night.

SATURDAY, MARCH /, 1885,.


There seems TO be crest misapprehen |
sion in the public mind touching the in |
tcn1ion Of Mr. Stanton's late order in rela- |
ton 10 the publication Of military news.
That order. as explained by Mr.. Sanford,
Is intended solely to prevent indizcreet rev
elatious, in the public Journals, Of events
yet to he accomplished; to suppress what
describes the movements Of troops, By land
or water, upon places that are to be attack
cd; to Cut short descriptions Of our, for
:ifcd places, in which correspondents have
somewhat too freely indn1ged This is all.
Il will naturally put an end to the guessing
that Ibis OF the other thing is to be done:
and 10 the frequent false or sensation ru-
1rors tAat INSCRIPTIONS s:ribble1s hare
.,ccn in the habit Of putting ahoat, But
whatever the public ought to know-whatr
ever, in fact, may, without dehiment to
public service, be proclaimed, VIII be as
free to the Press as ever before Hence
while newspaper readers will miss the
srcculations that have heretofore excited
their wonder, they viii be treated to many
more facts; and editors will not, as fo1
sncrly, bc compelled to spend half the tim
IN the vain endeayor to separate the tru
from the false. We think that all reason
allie men will find abundant cause to b
satisfied with the change-
