There was q good corn crop in 1868, but not
much wheat There were many sweet po-
tatoes in 1864. A large wheat crop was

in two houses at Andersonville there was
considerable bacon, syrup and corn meal.
There was not much garden vegetables in
1864. There was difficulty in obtaining
seed.
Mr.. Baker said the prisoner was otwell
to-day. He was suffering with pain in the

patch dated Jackson, Mississippi, Septem-
Der 4sh, which says General Slocum has IS
sned an order by direction of the President
enjoiring on his officers not to interfere
with the organization of the State Militia
as ordered by Provisional Governor Shar-
key. This is directly the reverse of the de-
termination of the government upon this
subject as reported a few days ago, and is
accounted for from the fact that the gov
ernment is looking to the gradual super
cession of the Federal troops by State
Militia in order to decrease the national
expenses,
