Along the lake shore grapes are still mucp
better than in the southern part OF the state;
this is owing to the more even temperature,
not subject to sudden extremes OF heat after
rain.
Corn is looking finely on the slopes and
h;obar hottom land. The market has been
sunnled with fine ears for neatly two weeks.
On the river bottoms everything but grass
ia drowned out, and that is covered with a
deposit that will take time to remove 20
tatoes are much better than at this time last
year.
Apples for this year are a failure, like the
fig tree they gave promise of an abundance
in the spring, but when the season cometh
for gathering, no fruit is found thereon.
This may be traced to the weather god
also.
Sweet potatoes are growing fine and the
prospect is, we shall have an abundant
yield.
On the 10th inst. the citizens of this city
gave picnic to welcome all the returned
soldiers of the country. The procession
numbered some twelve hundred, and was
commanded by Col. Stafford of General
Sherman's Staff. Nearly all of them were
veterans who had followed Sherman in his
long marches through the South. The re-
ception speech was made by Hon. Mr.
Creede, after which, General Sherman was
called out One would have supposed by
the cheering that he, and not the soldiers
was the guest Of the city. There is no mis-
taking the love and enthusasm for General
Sherman that dwelIs deep in the hearts of
the heroes of two an three score battles-
! Political demagogues may speak to the dis
, para cement of the man whose heart was
welded to his country in the hour of its
darkest peril, but those who know him
best charge not willfulness of misdemeap-
or to General Sherman. 1t has been my
pleasure to visit with the General on two
occasions, and converse with him upon
, many of the absorbing issues of the day,
and no man is more sound in the ranks of
liberty or entertains clearer views Of right
and duty. His plain unassuming manner
his almost shabby Dress and his general in
terest in every thing, aud to every body
makes him very companionable In his
remarks to the soldiers on this occasion, he
told them he did not want them to report
themselves for taking anything from the
rebels, for they by Secession had signed
away all their rights, and he as custodian
of the United States had freely given them
all they had taken, and would have given
them more if they had taken it. He said
the question had been asked him, what
would become Of all of his army after the
war closed? Il told them you would go
back to your various avocations and be-
come the useful citizens you were before
| was proud Of you in the field, Oh the
march, IN the battles terrible shock; am
prouder Of you to day than ever was be-
fore, because my expectations in you are
more than realized" In speaking Of his
march through the defunct G. S. A. he re-
marked. Had not Gen. Grant held Lee
before Richmond my success would have
been defeat Governor Brough is still
lying at Cleveland very i'll; his recovery
is considered doubtful. The democrats of
this State are in a fix, they cant find man
torun for Governor with the least possible
hope of his election.
Their wailings over their ruined prospects
in the political world is often ludicrous
They begin to realize that that kind of
democracy that favors disunion, rebellion,
and general opposition to the government
is not paying concern, and many of of its
most prominent supporters and opponents
in years past are leaving the party in dis
gust. In it they feel like Noah's dove, no
place to rest foot.
