this season. The opening of trade on the Miss

The reported destruction of four million dollars

On Tuesday. the 2Sth. a miner bv the name
of Heintman, working in the coal bank of Smith
& Yeoman, near Clinton Lock was killed by the
falling of a mass of coal, which covered him and
crushed out his life.
He was working alone, and no one knew of the
catastrophe until his wife, becoming anxious on
account of bis not coming to dinner, sent IA young
man into the mine to ascertain what was the
matter. An immense pile of coal suggested the
fatal event, and two or three hours digging ex-
tricated the lifeless body.-[Terre Haute Ex-

-THE CRoPs-THE RAIS.-The wheat cropin
this section was secured in good condition-the
impression at first entertained that the quality
would be good bat the quantity less than usual Is
generally confirmed, so far as we have been able
TO ascertain. The yield Of grass was large.
Oats are an average yield. Previous to the re-
ircshing rain on Saturday last, the prospect for
the coru crop, especially late corn, was rather
dubious; but il Is now coming forward finely, and
a few more showers will insure a fair crop. The
frost some two or three weeks ago damaged the
corn considerably in some localities-that stand
ing in low places suffering most. The potato
crop is none too promising, but a suiliciency OF
rain may yet bring the late planted crops for
ward in good ccndition.-(Shelbyvil Volunteer.

We rejoice to hear that Judge Advocate Gen.
eral Holt is preparing the documents for a court
martial in the case Of Gen. Milroy, charged with
evacuating Winchester with cowardly p~recipita-
ton, leaving millions of dollars worth Of arms,
munitions. &c to the rebels. and sacrificing the
bulk of his command to save his own neck. We
do not know or Judge that he did other than his
whole duty in the premises. We trust that he
will have a fair, impartial trial. and be honorably
acquitted if the facts will warrant: but, If he be
proved guilty, we trust he will be ineyorably
shot. That will be a light penalty for the often
ss of which he stands accused. We shall gladly
see him indicated; but il he is guilty, we pray
the court and President to have mercy on the
country.
Rebel reporters charge Mrs. Milroy (wife fthe
aforesaid q sneral) with having appropriated TO
her own use and wear the dresses Of secession
ladies resident in (but probably fugitives from)
Winchester: but If she ever did so base a thing.
we trust (since the precipitate fight of her hus-
band left her In the hands of the rebelsl she will
be indicted as a thief, tried as a thief. convicted
as a thief and punished as a thief. Il will do her

William McCool, Of Porter county. Indiana,
methodist of the Abolition persuasion, has come
to grief. He imported last fall from Cairo some
dozen negroes. whom he has since employed on
his farm, Notwithstanding there are plenty Of

work. Last Sabbath while McCool was absent,

idea that white men have no rights which ne
groes are bound to respect, land not having the

revolver which he had used in a mob against

selves difficult to find. McCool being a white
man robbed by negroes, Is Of course entitled 20

would have been sent to him.-[ohieago Tines.
