From Chase County.
CEDAR POINT, CHASE CoUNrY, KAxsI

CEDAR POINT, CHASE COUNTY, KANSAS,
August 18th, 1864.
EDITOR News: With reference to the
growing crops, it must be said that there
will be very little corn hererabouts-little IN
this county; much of it is not worth cut
ting up for fodder. Four weeks ago, corn
looked we'll notwithstanding rain was need
ed, but the hot dry weather since, mas al
most ruined it.
The hay crop is also very light. scarcely
less so than in the dry season of 1860.
Until the day before yesterday, no lain
worth mentioning had fallen here since
about the 10Th of June. There was a good
shower night before last. and it has drizzled
some since, and is still cloudy promising
more rain. What we have had will bring
on late potatoes, and will be good thing
for fall wheat-sowiHg, and will revive the
grass, which is badly dried up.
Every body and his boys are busy put
ting up hay now. This county is not sur
passed by any in the State for stock raising,
Scarce as grass is this season, there are par
ties just above here, all the way from Lyon
county, who came up here to find the best
chance to get hay. There are in this coun-
ty, belonging to the Citizens) not less than
twenty moving machines. This-consid-
ering that the county is but sparsely settled
speaks we'll of the adaptability of the
county to that branch of ind ustry, and the
Proclivities OF the people to engage in it.
Spring wheat and oats yielded we'll in
this part of the country this season, and
there were a few half crops of winter wheat
Mr.. Brunot arrived home last week from
Cow Greek. 1t was quiet out that way
when he left. He experienced heavy IN
staiment of bad luck at the time of the In
dian outbreak. He was hauling corn to
Fort Lyon aud was encamped at Cow Greek
ranch when the indians made the attack on
the train there. His two teamsters, VIM
Crammer and his man Friday were out herd
ing the cattle, and ran very narrow escape.
The former was severely wounded in the
right shoulder with an arrow. He has gone
to his home in Butler county. and was
doing well at last accounts. Twenty four
head of Brunot's oxen were shot and killed
by the Indians. He has been so fortunate
as to find Eve of the six that had previously
strayed. He also lost good pony, valued
not so much from it's intrinsic worth as
from the fact that it was present to his
wife from her father. Yours, D.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.

We CLEAN from the County Assessors
books of this year, the following interesting
statistics, in regard to the crops of 1868
and 1864, and of the number and kinds of
stock, in the county. The names are so
mixed. that we are unable to give the fig
ures of each township.
NUMBER OF ACRES IN GRAIN FOR 1864.
We give the figures of 1854. and the in
crease and decrease, in the different ar
ticles, from 1868.
Wheat, 2,128 acres; in 1868, it was
1850, decrease of 1889. or over half
This may be charged, principally, to the
severe drouth of last fall. Corn, 6.988
acres. In 1868, it was 1885, decrease
of 397. acres. Rye. 213 acres; an in
crease of 48 acres. Barley, Ill acres. an
increase of 40 acres. Buckwbeat, 50 acres;
an inereas of 10 acres. Oats, 1,O44 acres;
an increase of 399 acres. Potatoes, 142
acres; a decrease of "a acres. Sorghum,
1853 acres; a decrease of 446 acres. This
is little surprising, considering that sor-
ghum is always a sure croP. Flax, s
acres; increase, acres. Hemp. 43 acres;
increase, Al acres. Cotton, 27 acres; de-
crease, 16f, acres. In the spring of 1868,
considerable excitement existed over cotton
raising, and tie quantity planted was quite
large. 1t as general failure, owing to
the unfavorable season and the poor seed
which was obtained. Last spring very lit
tie was put in. 1t is doing well, so far as
we know, and those who raised to sell will
make money. We hope the experiments
in cotton raising will not be entirely aban
doned, because it failed once. We believe
so long as the war lasts, at least, there is
money in it. OF tobacco, we only haYe q
acres, while last year there was 223 acres;
about the same reasons for the decrease In
cotton, will apply to the decrease in tobae-
co. 1t would prove an immensely profta-
bic crop. could we succeed in raising it
here.
NUMBER OF HEAD OF STOCK IN THE COUNTY
OVER SIX MONTHS OLD.
Mules, 90; decrease, 81. The priuci-
pie mule raiser. Mark Patty. sold off most
of his drove last spring. which we suppose
accounts for the decrease. Horses, I,47O;
increase. I5e. Cattle, $3.50; increase, 429.
Sheep, 1902; increase, 1910. Hogs. !, ;
43s; decrease. l,344.

It will be remembered that some time be-
fore the adjournment of Congress, a story
was published in the papers, that Senator
Lane had been assaulted in the streets at
Washington, by a woman of questionable
character, whom he had abused. Some Of
the papers in this State gave the name Of
Mrs. Scott. who had been a millner, in
Leaven worth, as the one who figured in this
affair. Rev. ]. D. Liggett, pastor of the
Congregational church, at Leavenworth-oi
which society the Mrs. Scott alluded to is a
member-after careful investigation as to
the guilt of the lady, wrote card to the
Leavenworth Bulletin denying the charge
so far as she was concerned. He satisfied
himself and all others who care to be salts
fed, that Mrs. Scott had not been at Wash
ington during the last winter. This card
he requested all papers which had given
publicity to the story SO Injurious to Mrs.
SCOTS character, to publish. AS we had
not published the SANDER, we did not pub
lish the card. AS soon as the card appeard
the whole Carney press OF the State
pitched into Mr.. Liggett in very ungen-
tlemanly manner. Some of them try to
shift the responsibility by stating that it
was another Mrs. Scott. The manner in
which they talk goes to show that they knew
they had been guilty of basely slandering
very estimable lady, but for fear of lose
ing what they consider point against the
object of their hatred-Jim Lane-thev
will not make a manly ledgement of
the wrong they have done Mrs. Scott We
we're not surprised at the Leavenworth
Times and Bulletin, taking this course, but
we are sorry to see Sol Miller of the Chief.
using the following language:
'PRovING TOO MUcH.-Lane, through
his friends, had already told half dozen
different stories concerning his cowhiding
affair, and sworn to them; and it was thought
the thing had about died away. But be
was not satis6ed-he wanted to prove ii
more. So be employs one Rev. j. d Lig-
gett, of Leavenworth, to publish a card
denying the story, upon the high ground
Of defending the character of a slandered
lady"
We have known Mr.. Liggett quite init
mately for eight years. having worked for
him when he was in the newspaper business
in Ohio, and we can assure friend Miller
that he is mistaken il be thinks Mr.. L. car
be employed for any such purpose. We
further know that he has never been Lane
man. The part he has taken in the mat
ter was to remove the stain from the char
acter OF an injured lady and g member Of
his own congregation.
