NInss Meeting In Shelby.

On last Saturday evening the Democracy
of Shelby and vicinity met to form Nc
Clellan Cuba. Rogers was chosen Chair
man aud X. Gipson Secretary.
Hon. S. S Bloom was then called on t.
address the meeting, which he did for near
ly two hours. His points were so new to
some of the double-eXtra "loyal Union
men" that. they left in disgust with their
own pedigree. il .. .'.
He charged the Abolitionists with having
come into power, constitutionally, it was
true, but in a large minority-and were but
q faction of the American people; and yet
presumed to rule with an iron rod the whole
country. They must understand that the
Democracy of the Northern States, and the
Union men of the South, ready to strike
hands with them-hold the balance OF power
that to the Northern Democracy belonged
the honor of maintaining this Government
thus long in this time of war. They had dom

opposition, and that II they could by. an,
possibility, be badgered into the position O.

Crops IN Iowa. = VIM. Duane Wilson,
Secretary of the Iowa State Agricultural
College, from information obtained from
some 500 delegates attending the recent
Union Convention at Des Aoines, embra-
cling So Of the best agricultural counties of
the State, arrives at the conclusion that an
average of one-third of the crop will be des-
troyed by the drouth and chinch bug As
an Offset to this loss there has been an in
crease of $4,000 acres sown over the past
two years. Sec Wilson thinks the average
yield of the State will be ten bushels per
acre, which will give yield of II, 100000
bushels, which is considerably over the ay-
erage crop of the past two years.
The corn crop SO far is considerably ahead
in prospective yield of former years.
The oat crop promises good yield.
The hay crop is abundant, but little
shorter than usual
Where winter wheat was sown it has
produced heavily, while spring wheat side
by side has been entirely destroyed.
From all we can learn, crop prospects in
Minnesota are very fattering.

sewing machines. First, | got ''cheap" one,
which sent back for repairs, at least half
a dozen times, to the office from which
got it. After trying and bothering with it
for long time, set it away in the attic,
and there it remains, memento of vexa-
lions and troubles, After that bought
one with world wide reputation big

for celebrated loop stitch machine-anoth-

would ravel out faster than could be made.
Good thing to play with: rather expensive
though. Bnt | am satisfied now that, after

Petersburg.

Petersburg was handsome and flourish
post town and port of entry of Dinwiddie
County, Va, on the right or south bank of
the Appomattox River, at the crossing of
the Great Southern Railroad, % miles south
of Richmond and ten miles from James
River at City Point. 1t was the third town
of Virginia in respect of population, and
possessed extensive facilities for business.
Vessels of 100 tons can ascend the rivers
to the landing, six miles below.
The south side railroad has it's eastern
terminus at this place, and the Appomat-
tox Railroad connected it with City Point
at the mouth of the river. The large yes
sells engaged in the trade at Petersburg dis
charge their cargoes at City Point. Large
quantities of -four and tobacco were export
ed from this place. The quantity of tobac-
co exported in 1851 amounted to :, 222 hogs
heads in 1852 to lO,4S9 hogsheads; in
1858 to I 400 hogsheads.
Petersburg was well built, and contained
two churches of the Presbyterians, two of
the Episcopalians, one of the Baptists, one
of the Catholics, besides several places OF
worship for the colored people 1t had also
three banks, several cotton factories. one
wooden factory, two ropeworks, one iron
furnace, six FORCES, and numerous mills of
various kinds. Three newspapers were pub
lished there The falls of the river which
arrest the ascent Of the tide Immediately
above Petersburg, furnishes extensive water
power. gLcna
Around these falls canal has been con-
structed, by which means small boats as
cend the river for about 100 miles. go J
