CRoPs. shall tell our home readers
no news when we say the crops in our coun-
" have never been excelled. Corn. OF
which great breadth was planted, has at
tanned unusual height, is caring out re-
markably full, while the ears are Of good
length. and filled 70 the very ends. The
growth Of potatoes is good, bit curious
sort of worm has ruined good many
fields, SO that the crop win be short. The
abundant showers Of the last m onth has
started the grass 90 that it has all the fresh-
ness Of Spring. Butter ought not to be 80

preciated by Maj. Gen. Grierson, under

paign, found fault with Col. w. It ia how
eyer perfectly evident this was done solely
1or spite, as Gen. 0rieraon, his immediate
commander, under whose eyes ell his con-
duct in that expedition passed, immedi-
ately promoted him from the command Of

command he now holds.-Ib.

The DRAFr.-There WI an effort made
here during the last week to raise money
township from the draft. Many subscribed
literally, men of all parties. but som said
they would be - before they would
give cent, and they wouldn't go either il
drafted" Others said, "Well, they'll raise
the money anyhow and so I will get clear
without paying" Had it not been for these
two classes of men, the amount necessary
would have been raised, but men disliked
to pay their money TO exempt such traitors
and sneaks. So the effort failed. Clubs
will be formed to help those of their num-
Der who may be drafted.-Tptor Ads.
MILITIA ORoANIz1Na.-We are glad TO
ganizing as rapidly as possible. Already,
here at Abba, we have two companies or
ganized under the late law, and one COM

former law. This makes three full COM
panies of 100 men that we have on drill
here every Saturday. They are sound loyal
men, most Of whom know how to fight as
most of the officers have been tried as well
% many of the men. 1f0ov. Stone wants
any companies for active service he should
call out some or all of these three compa-
mics ~ they would be really veteran troops;
there are some new recruits in each COM
pany, but they are learning the dril rapid
~. The other nine companies in this
county We learn are rapidly forming and
will soon be completed.-Al6ia Union.
