tutc for Il drafted man Of this city. In
order to insure the safe delivery of substi-
tutes at the general rendezvous, without
the necessity Of furnishing strong escort,
the plan has been adopted of taking from
them the principal portion of the money
found upon them, and sending it to the
rendezvous to be returned to them upon
their arrival at that point. The mau in
question, after eating his dinner at the Of
ice of CAPTAIN Blumenburg, was request, d
to hand over his money for the purpose
above mentioned. He replied that he had
but about fifty dollars with him, which
statement, however, Capt. Lee, Deputy
Provost Marshal, was unwilling to accept,
in consequence If information in his pos
session to the contrary After thorough
search of the person of Wright, it was de-
cided that he must have swallowed some
money, and an emetic was procured and
administered to him, but without effect.
A second was then given, aud in short
time Wright was seized with vomiting and
threw up one hundred dollar note Of
the Chesapeake Bark Of this city, In
brief space he threw up a second, third
and fourth, lie then confessed that he

The Crops for the Year 1864.

The final report (September and Octo-
bcr) of the crops for the present year has
just been made by the agricultural De-
partment at Washington. The returns
are now full, and what was hitherto but es-
innate assume the character of ascertain.
ed quantities. The wheat crop amounts
to 100, 695, S23 bushels. 1t takes about
five bushels of wheat to make a barrel of
flour, which would make the production
equal to thirty.threc millions and half bar
lcls, or more than one and bali barrels
to every one of the population Of twenty
millions whose industry produced it. The
production of wheat is only about nine
millions less than in 1868, which was con-
sidercd an excellent crop The rye pro-
duc,ion was l9,S72,9 57 bushels, or less
than ono million short of the production of
the previous year. Barley 10,716,32S,
about the same decrease as rye in the
years production. Oats 176600,064
bushels, an increase of six millions over
the previous year. Hay is 1916, Isl
tons, or about million and a Lalf tons
less than in 1863. Corn $50, 5Sl ,4C3
bushels, or about seventy-eight miiIions
increase over the year preceding
BrcKwheat 1S,700,54O bushels, an in
crease Of nearly three millions. Potatoes
sc, 25G,SSS a decrease Of four millions.
Taking the yearly production, there.
| fore, the balance is in favor of 1864, and
the quality is much better If the cur
rency and taxes did not affect prices, all
the leading articles of provisions which
form the support of life would be less in
price. The sorghum, another valuable
crop, shows large increase. In the pro-
dnotion of animal food there is, however,
a material falling off in nearly all the
States. The production of flax seed shows
a very large increase, New Jersey aud
Pennsylvania taking the lead in this in
crease; in the first amounting TO over II
per cent, and in Pcnnsy lvauia four per
cent. Ten of the loyal States produce
cotton. The falling oil in tobacco is set
down at six'y-sc,en millions Of pounds
Balancing all the increase and decrease Of
vegetable and animal production, and
there is shown to be abundance of food
for the population. The surprising pant
of it is that th production should be SO
large with SO many men engaged in war,
and 50 much destruction of animal life for
war purposes. The use of machinery in
farming has made up for the absence Of
hands. Hereafter when peace is ic-es-
Iablished, its good eff,c&will be felt in
highly increased crops --I'Ai1a. Ledger.
