The CrOpE.

The Assistant Commissioner ofthe freed
mems bureau for Alabama reports that
the grain crops of this year will reach
nearly the average before the war, both il
quantity and qualsy, and if not wholly con
sumed by immediate necessity for food will
doubtless meet all future requirements Tor
seed. That it will not be wholly consumed
is inferred from the sharp experience they
have had on the necessity for seed, and from
the fact that most Of the persons who have
grain crops nave also little cotton, which
will afford them relief before the corn,
which IS the principle crop, is ripe. In a
few days Gov. Patton will leave for st.
Louis aud Chicago, when it is hoped be
will be allie to purchase a large supply Of
corn.

Mr.. Wenge brought ten 81 ,0GJ United

against fire, burglars, &c. Four Of the bonds
were subsequently, stolen from him. and all

but not recovered, new bonds cannot be ia
sued. The law does not authorize the issue
Of new for lost or stolen ones. The holder
can collect the interest on coupons as they
become due, but nothing more can be done.

BOLD ATTACK ON A RAILROAD TRAIN -
On Wednesday night, about 2 O'Clock, as
the train on the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad was about FIVE miles from Franklin,
KY, the engineer discovered that the road
was barricaded Heimmediately slackened
speed, but not until the engine, baggage
car and express car were thrown from the
track and upset
The passengers being aroused, found the
train surrounded by gucrillas, who fred done
shot as q note Of warning, which passed
through the car without iDjuring any one.
The guerilas then entered the sleeping
car, and ordered the passengers to 60 FOR,
ward to the next car. As they crossed the
platform, each one was compelled to hand
over his pocket book.
The whole transaction occupied not more
than five minutes, and, before the passengers
fairly recovered from their sstonishment,
the intruders we're gone.
When the guerillas had departed, it was
discovered that the train was on fire, having
caught from a stove in the express car.
The passenger cars were pushed back out Of
danger, but the engine, express Car and
baggage car were burned. None of the
express freight was saved, though most of
the baggage was removed. The safe of the
Express Company even vas burned.
