ANashville letter gives us an insight in.
to the experience of an abolition editor,
turned cotton speculator -.. IS O..
A few days ago, Mr. Thomas, for many
years the editor of the New Haven Journal and
Courier, and with whom i have been MANY o
time oyster fishing at Fair Haven, called to see
me. He is here in the cotton trade.-i. e., he
would be If he could. He has leased a confis-
Gated plantation up the river thirty miles. and
Is going to farming it. Think for moment
OF one OF those "pizen" abolition editors run

connecticut. There are about 600 healthy and
hardy wenches now in the city, who receive
rations from the government, and sleeping in
quarters provided for them by the United States
authorities. Persons who work confscated
plantations hire these persons of the govern
ment, paying them about seven dollars O
month, boarding them, and guaranteeing
medical attendance In case Of sickness.
Thomas hired thirty of these people few DAYS
ago, who were enjoying state of freedom
and took them mp to bis farm Last eve
ming met him and asked him about his nio
gers. His answer was, 20, d-n 'em, they all
run away the second night. They won't work.

Sherman met with no Serious Opp0-
sitiOn and Fought NO Rattle.

Quimby and Myron j. Amick, the same who
communicated with Gen. Foster on the Ogee-
chez, reached Wilmington on the 10th.
They left Sherman at Laurel Hill, marching
on and expecting to reach Fayetteville either
on the night of the 10th or morning of the 18th.
Boats started at once up the Cape Fear River
| to remove distractions and open communion
ton to Fayetteville.
Sherman met with no serious opposition on
his marches and fought no battle. Rebel scouts
have been lowering round him constantly. A
| division of cavalry under Gen. McButler Is in
his rear.
Dick Taylor has not been seen, rebel reports
| to the contrary Notwithstanding.
General Sherman crossed the Great Pedee at
Cheraw on the 4th. The town on the south
bank was entrenched, but the rebels made
| feeble defence. Sherman's cavalry dashed in
on the run, and the rebels dashed out also on
| the run.
In their flight they chivalrousy left to our
men seventeen guns in position. Four more

peared content with acting as an escort to

were served, but the abundance found in the
country soon rendered this unnecessary, and
now only coffee and sugar are issued, every

| A communication was sent to Sherman on
the 18th by courier escorted by regiment of

Fruit Growing In California.
The San Francisco Bulletin SAYS:


The remarkable adaptation of the soil and
climate Of California to the culture Of the grape
and manufacture of wine is q well demonstrate
ed fact The product of our vines, as COM
pared with that of all other ne-growing coun-
tries is enormous and regular, and Is not infe-
rior in quality, in any comparison, to similar
brands.
The average annual production reaches the
unprecedented figure of eight hundred or nine
hundred gallons to the acre, where the vines
have some age and are properly tended. In
In California, moreover, the crop Is regular,
no failure having occurred within the memory
of the Oldest settlers.
The attempt to grow oranges and lemons
in California is every year becoming more
successful. The principal groves are at
Los Angeles, where there are half dozen
men engaged in the business. Oranges
are grown in other places in the State,
but mainly in gardens, and for private
| use. There were about 10000 oranges and
| 10000 lemons grown last year at Los Angeles.
This year nearly 100000 oranges and 40, 600
lemons have been raised in that vicinity. The
oranges grown this year are larger and in every
way better than last years crop, and sold al
the groves at % per 100. The largest growers
are two Frenchmen at the Mission San Gabriel
whose crop last years amounted to about TWEEN
ty five thousand oranges, besides quantity OF
lemons
