The Goshen Times says the crops promise
well in that region. Corn and oats are in good
condition. and the fruit will be quite plenty.
Says the New Albany Ledger:
We regret that our information in reference to
the surrender Of three or four hundred home
guards at Salem by General Cravens, member
of Congress from this District, does that gentle
man great injustice. The report is wholly with
out foundation. General Cravens neither sur
rendered himself nor single man OF his com
mand. Those captured at Salem were taken
regular prisoners. aud not by any formal capitula
ton.
We have conversed with a number Of gentle.
men Who belonged to Gen. Cravens' command
and they all agree in saving that no officer dis
charged his duties in a more intelligent and fear-
less manner than he His command followed
the Rebels INTO Ohio. and only returned to their
homes when ordered back by Gen. Burnside and
Gov Morton So closely did il pursue the re-
treating enemy that at Harrison, Ohio, it came
~, with them and gave them several rounds. the
Rebels retiring rapidly and in confusion before
zen. Cravens and hs gallant men.
But Gen. CRAvENs is Democrat. and there
fore the Republican prints will attempt to damn
him with faint praise.
Quite number of Morgan's men are scat
tered through Harrison, Washington Scott and
other counties through which the command
passed in this State These stragelers are for
the most part men who have broken down. or de
serted from the enemy. Squads Of them are be
ing captured and brought To this city almost dai
ly. For the most part thew are a defiant but dirty

In some localities we hear of good crops OF
oats, but. as general thing, the crop will be
light.

poor indeed, but the late have increased the
