fellows, who tread on your dress, and upset
your work basket, and stand III your light,
and whistle, and drum, and shout, and ask
questions, and contradict. So what is to be
done with them? Do they not want to be

Gloomy Tone of Recent Rebel Papers.

! The Commissioners of Agriculture at Wash
| ington has just completed his monthly report
on the condition of the crops throughout the
country, during May and Jnne From a sy-
nopsis published in the N. York Commercial
AaUertjser, it would seem that the prospect
now is, that the present crop will be the lar
gest ever produced in this country.
Accompanying the report are valuable sta
tistics regarding the weather In most of the
States the month of June has been very dry,
but in Kansas, Kentucky and Missouri they
have had enough rain. In Pennsylvania and
Ohin plenty has fallen, but only during the
last half Of the month. The report from
Michigan is remarkable, showing a depth of
1907 inches, ten of which fell in one day
Iowa is the reverse OF Missouri, ffty-one
counties having been very dry. Wisconsin
had fourteen very dry days. while the returns
from Minnesota show that the entire State
was suffering severely for want of rain. The
extraordinary fact is presented of the States
east of the Great Lakes having had much
more rain than those South Of them, while
Missouri and Arkansas have been well sup
Piled, and States further North received little
or no rain. This is said to be at variance
with the usual meteorological laws. A report
is being prepared in consequence.
The appearance of the wheat crop varies IN
in different localities In Nebraska it was de-
stroyed by the Winter, and in New Hamp-
shire it was much injured from the same
cause. In the great wheat producing States
of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Michi-
gan, New York, Pennsylvania and Wiscon-
sin, the average is still better, being but a
half tenth below the general average. Ohio
is the only State that falls below the general
average. A tenth more land has been sowed
with wheat than in 1862
The increase in wool growing has been
| 20 per cent. over last year. Many have placed
the clip of wool this season as high as 100,-
900, 600 ofpounds New York heads the list.
In 1860 the yield in that State was 1857, and
and in 1863 it was $50.
The increase in raising sorghum is 81 per-
cent.
These monthly agricultural reports are
made up at the bureau here with great care,
and are serving an excellent purpose. Hereto
fore farmers had to wait for such information,
in the unwieldly volumes of a report, pub
lished from one to two years after the infor-
nation was collected. Now we have it month
", fresh from the farmers themselves.

| DUQUoIN, ILL.,, July 81.
Major General Logan arrived here this
morning and was met at the depot by a large
concourse of peopl. A committee babe him
| welcome as the honored son of Illinois and
the admired of all loyal men,
In his speech at Carbondale, yesterday.
Gen Logan said he had no disposition to dis
cuss politics, for he was no politician, aud he
thanked God for it. He only wanted to con
slider what was good for the country. When
the war is over, we can ask, who is the vii
lain? Now the house is ON fire. we must put
it out. He showed who began the war
that President Lincoln was forced at every
step to take the movements he had, and yet
some cried unconstitutional. We foug ht
the Mexicans, because they made war on the
government, and if that was constitutional,
why is not this war? He ridiculed the SEN
timentalism Of those who objected to the war
because it was against our brethren" He
was no apologist for the President, but
would stand by him in all his efforts 10 put
down the rebellion, even if we had to send
elephants south to trample them down. All
the exigencies of a war like this could not be
foreseen and provided for by the Constitution
The President was empowered to raise armies
and that was sufficient. If this war is un-
constitutional, jeff Davis must be right
He defended and explained the Conscrip-
ton, and denounced the New York rioters.-,
If the leaders were hung to the first tree, we
should have no mobs. He had seen men
smile when we were whipped and frown like
angry clouds when we were victorious, but he
exhorted all, if they would do themselves jus.
tice, not to die traitors, on account of the in
fanny it would bring OH their families We
must be for our country, right or wrong. A
man who is not for this Government would
hate heaven if he lived in it.
He showed how ridiculous was the ''peace
cry;" said that the only way to peace was to
soundly whip the rebels, and they would
come back humbly as need be; and that
whipping they would get as sure as God was
in Heaven if people at home will allow it.
He spoke of the condition of the Govern
nent at the time the war broke out. The
arms had nearly all been shipped to the SouthI
but with all the disadvantages, what success.
es had been achieved!
With regard to the emancipation proclama-
ton, if the rebels wanted their niggers, let
them stop their fighting. If the proclaina-
nation was wrong, let them lay down their
arms, and appeal to to the courts. If the
question was left to the women and children
Of Mississippi and Louisiana, they would say
they wanted no more negroes The rebel ar
my had denoraiized them, and ours had
made theiu no better. The institution would
be worthless whether they gained THAR indie
pendence or not.
lie spoke three hours completely carrying
his audience with him, many times affecting
them to tears by his manly and hearty defence
of the brave soldiers. s.
At the close of the meeting three hearty
cheers were given for the Union, three for
Gen. Logan, and series of resolutions were
passed. -. .n. u.

From KeOsecra ns Army

Special to the Louisville Journal.
WINCHESTER, Tenn, July 27.
! A refugee who left Chattanooga on Sunday,
the 10Th, furnishes me the following state
ments
Gen. Braggs headquarters are at Chatta-
nooga, which place is occupied by the divis-
ion Of Gen. Claiborne the other commands
of the army are stationed at different points
along the knoxville aud Western and Allan
tic railroads, in supporting distance of Chat
tanooga. The evening before leaving, this
gentleman held lengthy conversation with a
friend, of Gen. Bragg's staff and was assured
that dangerous Generalization threatened,
which, unless speedily arrested, would disin-
tegrate and destroy the army. The men, the
officer said, We're respondent; and unless raj
lied by signal successes, would prove Of no
volue in time of the army's sorest need He
expressed the hope that disposition would
spring into existence among the people to
move for q reconstruction of the Union.
Braggs Chief Engineer deserted and deliv-
cred himself yesterday to our pickets. He is
at present with Gen. Sheridan at Cowan.
He confirms the statements above, and adds
that the hostility among the troops and peo-
pie to Bragg is firm and unrelenting. The
desire for new commander is general The
troops have lost confidence in Bragg, and all
look for his early supercedure. He represents
the people as very short of provender, and al
most hopelessy respondent. The fall of Wick
burg is the climax Of their sorrow.
General Hardee has been relieved from du-
ty under Bragg, and has been assigned to the
command of corps in Johnston's army. On
the assignment of General d. II. HILL of North
Carolina, to the old command of Hardee, his
staff, which remained with Bragg, remonstra-
ted, and were transferred with their old COM
mander.
Tenuesseeans are closely watched, and are
seldom assigned to outpost duty, for they
never fail to improve an opportunity to de-
sert.
Our own army is at present enjoying de-
Gghtful reposc after the fatiguing marches
from Murfreesboro. A portion of the army
is resting in the beautiful valley near Cowan,
at the foot of the Cumberland Mountains =
Gen. Thomas headquarters are at Dercherd.
Gen. Rosecrans is at Nashville.
Paymasters are enlivening the boys with
copious showers of ''greenbacks." The hpay-
ment of Gen. Rousseau's division has just
been completed.
Nothing as yet has been heard from Col.
Long, who was sent to Athens after bush
whackers when Gen. Stanley quilted Hunts

The result of the expedition to this place
was the capture of nearly one thousand horses
and mules and between FIVE and six hundred
negroes.

| If American ladies would learn that it is not
so much by expensive material as by good
taste in arranging, that good taste in dress is

many homes, and save husbands and fathers
from dreaded bankruptcy. There is good sense
in the following paragraph =
1t is strange that with all the time Ameri-
can women bestow upon dress, SO few know
how to prepare a simple toilet with taste. To
be well-dressed means with most, to wear rich
material, made up in gorgeous style, and with
all the usual accessories of lace and jeWelry,
to add to the magnifiicence of the general eff
feet. Never was a geater mistake. 10 be
well-dressed is only to have attire suited to
time, place and circumstances, made IN be-
coming manner. This attire may be a shil-
ling calico or rich silk, and yet in either, if
it is adapted to the conditions we have men
toned, woman may be said to be well-dress-
Ped. Where household duties have to be per-
formed, and the care of children devolves part
ly upon the mistress Of the house, a neat dress
fitted gracefully to the figure, is much better
for morning wear than the faded remains of
more portentious custom. Nothing looks more
forlorn than to see Would-be lady perform
ing household offices, Of not the most refined
character, in an old torn or dirty silk dress,
or soiled and draggled open wrapper. One
of the secrets of dressing well is to dress APP
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, to be careful Of the de-
tails, the minutiG of the toilet. Thorough
personal cleanliness, glossy well-brushed hair,
neat shoes and stockings, are as essential to
good personal appearance as the material and
fashion of the dress. Indeed lady who is
particular in these minor matters can hardly
ever be said to be addressed, as this delicate
refinement will not only excuse faults, but nat
uraly show itself in the good taste which will
guide her selection, no matter how small the
cost may be. Some persons have an extreme
horror of being caught, as they call it. in
morning dress. Why they should be so sens
tive on this point it is difficult to say. If is
clean, and adapted to the work in which they
are engaged, there is no shame in wearing it
and above all it oughtto be remembered that
no attire is good enough for the family which
is not good enough for mere acquaintance
who may chance to favor you with their So
ciety. 1t is much better to be caught i'll a
plain morning dress than to be caught very
much over-dressed, as some unlucky individ
uals are, at small evening party. In one
case there is real cause for modification, in
the other there is none. ..-. -..
