One OF the best campaign documents o
the new yearis the speech of Gen. Garfield
upon the Cou6sca'ion bill The genera
has been fighting rebels in the field for two
years. and he supposed that he had lost
the trick of speech, but the House aud the
country will not agree with him. when they
read the speech which be made in the
House few days since. 1t was one OF
the most effective arguments ever made in
Congress-not perhaps as addressed to an
audience of legal men, but rather to the
common sense Of the nation. 1t was like
the explosion of a shell at the euemy's
headqnarters--to the Opposition. Gen
Garfield is a natural orator, but the chief
value of this effort Of his is rot is rhetoric,
but the facts, fresh, striking. and eloquent,
with which it aboands. lie told ihe House
that the power of the South rests ia large
plantations; that Southern csptiai drives
tbe white trash to the mountains and the
swamps; and that the bulk of the landed
estates OF the South isin the hands of slave
hslding rebels. In The town of Murfrees.
boro, Tennessee there are l4,493 acres oI
land owned by sixteen persons, and l0, ,0o0
are owned by three men. One of the three
owns half OF the township of Murfreesbero.

The REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF STATS
TICS, is always work of sterling home inter.
est, as it portrays in the most concise and CON-
preheDsive form the products and growth of the
State, and makse direct appeal to the pride Of
every true son Of Ohio. A correspondent OF
the Cleveland Herald has had access TO the
forthcoming report, and makes for that paper
the following extracts, which we doubt not
will be read with lively interest by those un-
der whose eyes they shall fall:
HORTICULTURE
Reports of the fruit growing interests of tue
State are 10 the highest degree encouraging
The estimated acreage oil grapes is given at
over three thousand, which, at $50 gallons per
acre, gives 5000 gallons, valued at one dol
lar per gallon. OF apples, the quantity raised
is insufficient for home consumption, SO that
large quantities are imported.
AGRICULTURE.
The agriculture OF the State is rapidly im-
proving. The breadth OF land sown is great.
er, and the culture, care and Improvement much
better. This is due, first, 10 the introduction
Of agricultural machinery; second, drainage
aud mauures; third, introduction OF new plants
sach 40 Hungarian grass, sorghum, the vine
aud other fruits; fourth, deep ploughiDg aud
fually 10 the spirited efforts of agricultural
societies. Owing TO the decrease in the mum
ber OF labOrers, there was no great increase in
the agriculture OF the Stale during tue year.
The crop OF 1860 was the largest ever raised
in ONO; that OF 1861 was less; aud that ol
1862 still less, aud That OF 1863 will probably
De founi less than either. SuA Ohio has pro.
duced large surplus for the foreign market.
The grain statistics for 1862, as compared
with Two years immediately preceding, sre us
