A SOUTHERN HISTORY OF TIE WAR WANT
ED.-The Mobile Tribune, referring to
some Northern histories of the war, lately
published, says:
Here is fine field for some one in the
South, fit for the business, to make a
handsome profit. Done in 4 manly style,
it will be welcome to us psCr Southern
people. Our townswoman, Mrs. LcVert
it is said, is preparing book; but this will
not be exactly the kind which we need.
1t will not deal much with the rough scenes
of war. The book we want is fair tran
script of the sufferings which these States
have undergone since the war began,
something to show what simple-hcarted
honesty inspired men to endure its caami-
ties with patience. II it try to discover
the root of the evils which grew, and final
ly overshadowcd, the honest purposes of
true men, it will be all the better. Let the
story be told without tlattery or prejudice,
and it will be a very interesting one.

THE CROPS FOR THE YEAR.

According to the report of the Agricul-
tural Bureau, the wheat crop for the year
1864, amounts to l60, 1885 bushels. 1t
takes about five bushels of wheat to make
a barrel of -four, which would make the
production equal to thirty-three and half
millions of barrels, or more than one and
half barrels to every one of the population
of 20,000,O00 whose industry produced it.
The production of wheat is only about 9,
100000 less than in 1868, which was con-
sdered an excellent crop. The rye produc-
ton was 1882, 957 bushels, or less than
one million short of the production of the
previous year. Barley 1876, ,32S-about
the same decrease as rye in the years pro-
duction Oats l76, ,600,86 bushels, an in
crease six millions over the previous year
Hay Is, 1868 tons, or about a million and
half tons less than in 1868 Corn $780,
591 ,403 bushels, OF about seventy-eight
millions increase over the previous year.
Buckwheat Is, 700, $40 bushels, an increase
of nearly three millions. Potatoes % ,275,-
8SS bushels, a decrease of four millions.
Taking the yearly production, therefore,
the balance is in favor of 1864, and the
quality is much better. If the currency
and taxes did not affect prices, all the lead
ing articles of provisions which form the
support of life would be less in price. The
sorghum, another valuable crop, shows
large increase In the production of ami
NAL food there is, however, a material fall
ing off in nearly all the States. The pro-
duction of haxseed shows very large in
crease-New Jersey and Pennsylvania tax
ing the lead in the incrcas in the first am
ounting to over fourteen per cent, and in
Pennsylvania four per cent. Ten of the
loyal States produce cotton. The falling
off i'll tobacco is set down at sixty-seven
millions of pounds.
Balancing all the increase and decrease
of vegetable and animal production, and
there is shown to be an abundance Of food
for the population.
