In reply to the last sentence Of The fol-
lowing article, from The Baltimore An'e-
rean, we will say that the STORY" Of
which it speaks shall be told; whether it
will prove 'startling" or not, may best
be told by the consciences Of some par
ties interested. tNi
The Fate of Unionism in Middle
Tennessee.
1t is gratifying TO know that Nashville
is once more safe from all possible Rebel
assaults, and various accounts from there
combine TO show that for such result
we must credit largely the indomitable
lDyscL Of the Military Governor, Andrew
johnson. The centre of military opera
stions for the whole interior Of the Rebel
Confederacy almost, il would have been
the crowning evidence of imbecilily and
bad calculation had it again fallen into
the grasp of the Rebels; and as that has
not Appened-although only saved by
the mercst chance-we trust that the re-
gion it of old dominated in military
point Of view, extending into Alabama,
will once more and speedily be cleared OF
the Rebel hordes.
But, meanwhile, what has become OF
| that Unionism which few months ago
| felt itself under the shadow of the Stars
and Stripes What has been the fate OF
the many distinguished patriots there
men like Ex-Governor Campbell, Colonel
Stokes and others, who lived remote and
beyond reach of protection from the $50
lated Union forces at Nashville? The
miscalculations of military blunderings,
or short comings, which could expose
these men, and thousands of others like
them, TO the cruel fate usually visited
upon Unionists who have taken the oath
Of allegiance TO be afterwards abandoned
by q retreat of the Union forces, can hardly
b animddverted upoa in sufficient strong terms
oHd must proUe terrible obstacle to demon
STATIONS for the Union everywhere else in thC
d,syoyal States.
1t is hard to find an excuse OF results
so deplorable to every lover of his coun-
try, for consequences SO fatal to future
confidence in the ability Of the Govern
mont to take care of those who have con-
fided in it.
We look for something Better under The
new administration of military affairs in
that quarter; we look to see the contem-
plated squads which, as guerrillss, have
laughed Buell. to scorn, cleared out, ami.
hilated by his successor. Surely thu

Great Excitement at Mobile--People
Leaving by Every Possible Means

From The Memphis Bulletin, Of the l4th
we copy the following Southern items
We have information from Mobile to
Saturday night There was great ex
citement at Mobile. The Conlederates
had but few troops there, and the people
were momentsrily expecting the arrival
Of the Federal army, which they imagin-
ed travelling overland towards their city,
There was a general stampede Of all who
could make it convenient TO leave. Men,
women and children were crowding the
cars, steamboats,, and all sorts Of private
conveyances in order 10 get out of dam
ger. The impression was that Mobile
would fall an easy prey to the Federal
army.
The Confederates are fortifying, with
all possible rapidity, the city of Jackson,
Mississippi, Large nforcements were
expected at Jackson from Arkansas and
other points South. The great battle be-
tween Grant and Pemberton, il WAS be-
lieved, would take place at or near Jack
son, Mississippi II is supposed that the
Confederates At Holly Springs will fall
back without fight at that point.
On Monday the cars on the Mississippi
and Tennessee railroad only run up as far
as Senatobia, about 36 miles from Mem
phis, and it was said it would not come
up again Asfar as that point. The Confede-
rates were expecting the arrival of the
Federal army all along the road, and on
getting TO Senatobia they only stopped
long enough for the passengers to get out
and others 10 get on, when they moved
back on 20 Grenada.

Counterfeit "Green-back. :.

Mr.. Wolff, at 1870 Third street, detected
on Saturday an excellent Photographic
counterfeit Eve dollar Treasury Note. IT
is well calculated TO deceive, and would
never be detected at casual glance by
one man out of five hundred. Compared
closely with the genuine bill, it was
found to be about sixteenth Of an inch
longer, and the paper harsher and sitter
Tho signatures show more plainly on the
back of the bill than in the good money
and the shading Of the engraving ID hea-
vier aud darker Other defects would
probably be disclosed on a very critical
examination II is likely these counter
feits have obtained a wide circulation
here and elsewhere; and il will become
necessary for the people TO be little
more careful in handling green-backs
than they have hereto besn,--&, L0rns

IHever was a truth more fully stated
in few words. than in the following par
agraph from the Louisville Denocrdt;
The statesmen Of England desire the
success Of the South. II is their own
cause. The South is fighting TO relieve
crowned heads of their approximations Of
the Great Republic. For this purpose
the Confederate States are pouring out
their blood and treasure.
Oh, that our misguided, infatuated,
Frenlied fellow citizens of the revolted
States would realize the truth Of this
statement To-day the statesmen Of En-
gland are exulting and clapping their
hands rapturously over Confederate folly

A good item is given on this subject, which
VIC trust our readers will profit by.
TIE "Valuc of Shelter for Sheep" from

represents facts that should attract the attcn-
ton of every wool-growcr il Iowa. The
necessity in this matter for success in the

FODDER CORN.

Almost every one sows or plants a little
patch Of fodder corn to be cut green, with
which to feed his cows during the latter part
of the season. Few, however, have adopted
the custom Of planting larger areas of it for
the purpose of curing and using it as a win
ter forage. The difficulty of curing or drying
it has deferred many.
We had a little talk with Mr.. Foster, of
Augusta, on this subject, who raised an acre
or two of it for this purpose last year, and
who was so we'll satisfied with the expert
ment that he was getting ready to do like
wise this reason. - ...... -.s
by planting early he got the growth large
enough to have it cut early, say by the last
of August or first of September, while there
is good length ofdays and warm sun to dry
it. lie let it lie after being cut, perhaps a
fortnight, then bound it up in bundles and
stocked t up, about ten bundles in stock
and let it stand month or so, when it was
dry enough to house. He says he thus OBJ
tains more fodder from an acre than he can
in any other way. lie uses the Southern or
iiorse-tooth corn, and plants it in drills,
about two feet and half apart, the drills
being well manfred. 1t took about four
bushels of seed to the acre.-Naine FIR.

HOPS.

In the Hop Growers Journal we find lie
census return of the growth of hops in this
country for the last twenty years These
statistics disclose some very interesting facts.
Of forty States and Territories from which
the returns are published, there are but three
Florida, New Mexico and Decotah which
do not grow hops. OF the remaining ores,
the Southern States make small and unim.
portant item, the great hop growing country
being the Middle States.
Ia 1910 the total number of pounds raised
in the whole United States was 1888, 500
lbs. The hog growing States at that time
were New York, New Hampshire, and Mas
sachusctts-New York raising only about as
much as the other two-4i7, 25Olbs. In 1850
the total amount was 3,49G,950 lbs. OF this
amount New York raised 2,536,299, New
Hampshire very nearly the same amount as
in 1910, aul Massachusetts about half as
much. In 1860 the total was II ,OlO, 95S lbs.
showing an increase in ten years Oft ,1l6,243
lbs. Vermont and Wisconsin alone, of all
the other States and Territories, raised over
one hundred thousand lbs.
The State showing the greatest decrease in
production is Louisiana, which in 1910 rails
ed ID lbs, and in 1860 but eight. Connec-
tlcut in the same period has fallen off four
fitths, and in Massachusetts more than half.
The greatest increase in production has been
in the case of Wisconsin, which in 1910
raised 1873 lbs, and in 1860 135, 5S7 lbs
Vermont raised more than thirteen times the
quantity reported in 1910, and New lamp
shire but little more than one half as much.
At the West, Illinois has fallen off in twenty
years more than halt, while Indiana has more
than doubled her product. The Middle
States, with the exception of New York, av-
erlge very nearly the same as in 1910.
The quantity of hops raised by New York
in comparison with The rest of the Union is
immense. Her growth in 1860 was $685.
542 pounds, against 1856, 443 pounds grown
in the other thiity-sx Sthtcs and Territories.
Three of our coanties-Madison, Otsego and
Schohar!c-each raise more hops than are
grown in all the United States outside New
York. -... ........
