The CrOps---Official Reports.

The National Ietel1ige,acer gives the follow
ing summary of the forthcoming reports of
the Department of Agriculture on the condi-
ton of the crops in June:
APPLEs-A good crop in the Eastern and
Middle States, but not good in the Western,
much of the bloom having fallen off without
setting the fruit. "a --..-...s S.. ......- w..
PEAcHEs-In the Eastern States the crop
promises well; in the Western it is almost
totally destroyed, with many of the trees.
GRAPEs-Many were killed to the snow
line on the first day of January, others had
the fruit buds more or less injured in the
West, but still fair crop is anticipated.
WHEAT (WNTER)-The growing condition
of this crop is most excellent, except in
Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota, where
drouth has prevailed, and in one or two other
localities, but it was severely Injured by the
cold of last February, where there was bu
little snow on the ground. The general in
jury from this cause is estimated at not less
| than thirty per cent. As the time approach
es for harvesting, this crop in the EastGrr
| and Middle States, however, bids fair to be {
superior one. aa .- a-Es# ..#. so-
Spring WHEAT.-In amount this crop il
not quite an average on account of the late
| ness of the Spring and the scarcity of labor
| but it is il a very FAVORABLE growing condi
ton. -.<a-r-5 .-.yrts.g
CoRN-The lateness of the Spring KEEP
back planting, but the wet warm weather ha
brought this crop forward very rapidly, ane
it promises well at this time. 1t is nearly al
average crop in the number of acres planted
many injured wheat fields having been put ir
corn. 5-# sa# ." '.-s. a@7a..@ So
OArs.-Universally spoken Of as the larg
est and most promising crop of the kind ever
sown in our country L rE
n CLOVER AND THE GRASSES. These are in
excellent condition, and the expectation is
that the hay crop will be unusually large.
MAPLE SUGAR AND MoLAssEs.-Almost in
every State where made there has been a
large increase; the quality is spoken Of as
excellent. s9rH II -E-a-4- 5!- .Er ~.

stock is very good, for it received the best OF

of last year. @ E.- = SIR e ~r..- aria

A PROPOSED PLAN FOR PRoLoNGING LIFE
N. Robin, an eminent French chemist, in a
memoir recently presented to the French
Academy, expresses belief that the period
of human life may be greatly prolonged, and
enters into an argument to show that his
opinion is based upon sound reasoning. He
also gives the result of his personal OBJ
servations on this subject, and proposes to
demonstrate the truthfulness of his position
by actual experiments upon animals whose
lives are of short duration. His argument is
that the mineral matter which constitutes an
ingredient in most of our food, after the COM
bustion, is left in our systems to inerust and
stiffen the different parts of our body, and to
render imperfect many of the vital processes.
He compares human beings to furnaces which
are always kindled J; life exists only in COM
bustion, but the combustion which occurs
in our bodies, like that which takes place in
our chimneys, leaves q detritus or residuni
which is fatal to life To remove this, he
would administer Tactic acid with ordinary
food. This acid is known to possess the pow
err of removing or disolving incrustatioAs
which form on the arteries, cartilages and
valves of the heart. As butter,nik abounds
in this acid, and Is, moreover, an agreeable
kind of food, its habitual use, it is urged,
will free the system from these causes, which
inevitably cause death between the seventy
fifth and one hundredth year.-Annisas Q,

FROM KNOXVILLE,
Result of the Late Election.

KNOXVILLE, March 6.-The county cleo
ton yesterday passed off quietly. The
whole number of votes cast in Knoxville
was 26l, against an average vote in peace
times of 700. Making allowances for ab
sentees in the army, the vote was full, and
larger than was anticipated. In the coun
try districts it was still heavier. One hum
dred votes were poiled in a neighb"rlng
district in Sewer county, agains. a usual
vote of ITO. The returns from Kn"x
county will not be received until to NOR
row, and from neighboring counties there
are as yet no reports.
The vote would have been much larger.
but many undoubtedly loyal men, objected
to the oath required by Gov. johnson as a
condition, ands so did not vote.
There is nothing new in army affairs to
report, except the capture at Ohilahavo
Mountain Of sixty rebels by the Fourth
Indiana cavalry. A brigade of rebel cav
airy dashed into our lines to day, at Ma>sy
Greek, but were handsomely repulsed.
We took a few prisoners.

bers. The enemy followed closely, but
did not press A few of their cavalry only
kept well up to the rear of Henrys col
umn. At Barber's our men. rested till nine
A. M, and then again took up the line of
retreat, reaching Baldwin at about three
Pm. They halted here short time, and
then went on toward Jacksonville, arriving
at the camping ground, six miles out, on
Monday afternoon. On the way down
many of the poor fellows could hardly drag
one foot after the other.
OUR LOSS.
To estimate our loss is indeed an I'M
pleasant task, but, nevertheless, one which
must be performed in giving the record
of the days events. In killed, wounded
and missing, give the number one thou
sand two hundred. All our killed and the
severely wounded, that is, those who were
unable to walk from the field unassisted,
fell into the hands of the enemy. Last
night at twelve O'Clock, about five hundred
of the wounded had been conveyed to
Jacksonville.
At that time about two hundred wound
ed were on the way, but did not reach
Jacksonville in season for me to get their
names so as to send on by this mail. The
surgeons estimate three hundred wounded
to have been left on the field. The pro-
portion of two hundred killed to one thou
sand wounded is that usually allowed.
This would make the aggregate of 10000.
We also left on the field five guns, and
not small number o. small arms. The
road from BARRIERS to Baldwin was strewn
with guns, knapsacks and blankets.
THE ENEMY's LOSS.
1t is customary to make the enemy's list
of casualties equal to that of our own. In
this instance l believe can follow the
rule, and be not very far from the truth.
When, 9 consider that the enemy had but
four or five, and We sixteen pieces of artil-
lery, in position, it is not difficult to believe
we inflicted upon him quite as much injury
as he upon us. The fact that he did not
follow rapidly is significant of the immense
damage he sustained.
THE EFFECT
which our defeat will have upon the citi-
zens of Florida is to be lamented, for they
had been assured we came to protect them.
When our army was retreating, l noticed
several families passing on with the COL
umn, preferring to come with US rather
than remain in the rebel lines. The fact
that the enemy sent q large force into Flo
rida to oppose us, is proof conclusive of
the high value he places on the State as a
source of supply. During the action on
Saturday, train of cars filled with rebels
came down from Lake City and landed
Just above the battlefield.
