ANDREW JOHNSON
The Crops of this Year.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-From the 1st
to the 18th instant the commissioner of
agriculture has had letters from five hun
dred correspondents in all parts of the
country relative to the crops. He says
the apprehensions Of scarcity which might
threaten compulsory economy in consump-
ton or warrant extra prices are ground
less. The prospect on the lst of June was
for scyentenths Of crop With favora-
bic weather and abs. nee from casualties
before harvesting, the indications point to
three-fourths Of an average crop. In
Maryland, Delaware and West Virginia
the wheat crop will average six-tenths.
In Pennsylvania it will average eight
tenths. The average oats crop will be lar
ger than usual in nearly all tie States,
and more clover has beensown than usual,
and is reported i'll average condition. In
Delaware it is bad but Mary la1rc ~ M E il
little below the average. 4 medium crop
of apples is indicated, though there is a
variation in the appearance in diifffGte..7at 10
calities. In New. England and the ex-
IRENE west the prospect is better than US
ual. In the central States worse Peach
es have suffered from winter-killing very
generally. In Ohio scarcely third of a
crop is expected. In New Jersey less than
half crop. In Delaware and Maryland
about six-tcnths

INDICTMENT OF JUDGE THOMAS, OF VA.
1t will be remembered that Judge III.
w. Thomas, Of the Seventh Judicial Cir
cult of Virginia, some weeks ago refused
to admit the testimony ola negro in case
before him where colored men were not
concerned, on the ground that he must be
governed by the law of the State and not
of the United States It is now stated that
for this act Judge Thomas was indicted by
the United States grand jury at the recent
session of Judge Underwood's court at
Richmond. No steps whatever have been
taken to arrest Judge Thomas under the

Ey-As part of the history of the times,
as well as for the purpose of exposing the
vlndictivc spirit Of the Secretary of War at
Washington, we transfer to our columns
to-day some extracts from DR.. Craven
book, recently published, in which he gives
the details of the Imprisonment and sub
sequent treatment of Jefferson Davis.
we venture to say that not one in a
hundred of our subscribers ever knew be-
fore that Alr. Davis WAS heavily ironed the
day after he was incarcerated in one of the
lron-clad casemates at Fort Monroe. Yet it
is SO. A poor, emaciated, sick man, with
no more strength than would enable him
to stand upon his feet, confined in the
most formidable fortress on our coast. sur
rounded By gaaboats and defended by for
mldable artillery, yet needed to be keav-
lily ironcd and guarded vigilantly day ANA
night. to prevent his escape Did the
chlyafsous and humane head of the " ar
Department really believe that there was
the slightest chance for Mr. Davis to storm
the fort and make his escape ? To assert
so impossible thing would have been to
write himself down an ass III the eyes of
the whole world. He knew that it did
Aot require neavy shackles- to retain his
person until he should be tried for the
crime alleged against him. He knew all
this. Then we are reluctantly compelled
to believe that Mr.. Stanton had Mr..
Davis ironed for the purpose Of puniMtnq
ham. and act for the purpose of prevent
ing his escape from prison Efe deter
mined to crafty his own hate, by punish
ing him in advance of his trial and con-
viction by court.
Let those who entertain doubts as tc
Nr, Stanton's motives, read DR.. Cravcn's
account Of the matter.

H-It is fact no less remarkable than

LIE 1t is fact no less remarkable than
cheering to contemplate, that many por-
tions ofthe South have recently been bless
ed with extensive revivals of religion, un-
der the faithful ministrations of our deyo-
ted ministry, of every denomination. And
the Valley Of Virginia especially, whore
the desolations Of war have marked almost
every foot of her soil, has been blessed in
this respect.
The efforts of certain over-zealous rcli-
gious bodies at the North to introduce the
peculiar dogmas of New England church
ism into our NnlpIts, with all it's political
and secular tendencies, it might be sup
posed, would have disturbed the peace of
our churches, or at least diverted them for
\the, moment from the great work before
Thee; Not SO, }however. Though they
had passed the fiery ordeal of perseSltion
and pToscription-though many Of our
ministers had been imprisoned and ether
wise maltreated for conscience sakc-they
came forth without even the smell of fire
upon their garments, and certainly felt
less inclined to adopt the new fans lcd re-
ligious teachings of their oppressors.
With an eye single to the spiritual ele-
walton of their churches, and apparently
unmindful Of the inauspicious aspect Of
temporal affairs, our preachers have nobly
obeyed the behests of the Master, and the
result has been gracious revivals and nu-
merous additions to the churches. The
greater portion of these are among the
young, and hundreds of them formerly
soldiers in the army.
These facts are not mentioned in any
valn-glorious spirit-albeit We may glory
IN thcm-but we refer to them as one Of
the cheering "signs of the times" Il
'IchaJoP is written against the churcl,
elsewhere, and especially with reference
to our puritanic brethren, whose tender
sympathies, in their own peculiar way,
would indicate that they are ''more than
kim" but certainly have been "lcss than
klnd'-if sterility peryades them, we can
only mourn over their sad condition.
Here rests the true basis for the 'srecon-
struction' of tie disorganized elements of
Southern society. If the theory of our
political reorganizers be true, we have no
political existence as people, (and they
give practical effect to this theory hyde
nying us representation We should the
more diligently labor to advance the NOR
al and religious interests of the people.

EE~The Radical newspapers have-at
least some Of them-eGdeavorcd to get UP
the impression, that the constitutional a.
mendment recently passed by Congress,
in it's modified form, would not be serious
ly objected to by the President. The idea
has also been kept up by certain milk-and-
water supporter, of the Presidents policy,
such as Mr.. Raymond, Of N. Y, that the
Radicals and the Executive would finally
harm9bizc their differences and be united.
The Brief message of the President, pub
lished to-day, will dissipate all hope Of re-
Cancellation between Mr. johnson and
Thad. Stevens committee. He takes
ground boldly that no amendments shou Id
be made to the constitution until all the
States shall be represented in Congress -
The Committee on the other hand, hold
that the South cannot be represented until
they are done tinkering with the consti-
tuition Read Mr.. Johnson's message.

communities of the South will soon be
admitted to the privileges of civilized
men," So says our friend and brother,
Thaddeus Stevens. The great iron gates
of the Union are about to be thrown open
for the admission of the ''outside barbara
ans" niggers and all. Mr.. Stevens is
silent upon the subject, but we presume
he intends to admit our particular friend,
Bal Arp, With the rest of US. Mr.. Ste
vens is in favor Of admitting our unbleach-
ed "American citizens of African scent"
first, as they have never been 'soutlawed"
by his committee. Having rested his wea-
ry head upon the bosom of a sooty daugh-
tiers Of Ham for many years, Mr.. Stevens
believes the negro to be more scivi}izcd"
than the white people Of the South.

TIE PRESCRIBED CoNFEDERATEs. The
New York Neus argues that the new con-
stitutional amendment, even if ratified,
will fail to exclude from Office the promi-
nent Confederate officers at whom it is
aimed. The points are these First The
operation of the amendment must be pro-
spective, or else it would conflict with the
spirit Of that other provision of the Con-
stitution which forbids the passage of er
post facto laws. There is something in
this point, but we should not like to rely
upon it. The second, however, is better.
1t is, that the parties to be prescribed must
first have been convicted Of having zen
gagged in insurrectira or rebellion before
they could be excluded frcn Office

Harvest.

The farmers Of this section are making
large progress with their harvests, and
have been favored with admirable weather.
\ gentleman who is cultivating large
farm on the james, five miles below, in
formed us on yesterday that the shortncss
Of the crop of wheat would in some degree
be atoned for by the excellence of the sta
pie, producing on the whole about two
thirds yield. The quality of the wheat he
describes as admirable, and will insure, he
thinks, a weight Of sixty-four pounds to
the bushel.
The crop Of oats is magnificent, and
corn is doing well.-Rich. Enquirer.

DoN'T FoRGET THE STAMPS. People
who give receipts for money paid, and ev-
crybody does it, should make n,te of the
result of trial which took place in New
York the other day, and which shows how
perilous a thing neglect to put stamps
upon papers which require them may be-
come. Many persons have fallen into the
error of supposing that if a paper is not
stamped the omission may be rectifed at
any time at very little expense This is
not correct. There was provision made
for validating unstamped papers, made
and issued before the passage Of the act Of
1864, upon compliance with certain pro-
visions. Similar provision is made in the
amended act of 1865, upon the condition
that the party derelict shall pay $50 and
interest," at 6 per cent. on the stamp, if the
cost Of the latter is more than $50. But
in addition to this there is an actual pen
atty, which may be enforced against any
one who issues anstamped paper. Under
the act Of 1864 it was 5000 in all cases.
Under the amended act of 1865 itremains
800 upon acccptors and payers Of for
eisn bills of exchange without first stamp
ing the securities In this case in New
York the party sued had neglected, be-
fore the passage Of the amended act of 1865,
to afix stamps upon seven receipts for the
payment Of money. He was sued for the
full penalty in each case, amounting to
81 400 in all, and verdict was given a.
gainst him for the whole sum- The stamps
would have cost him fourteen cents SO
that by his saving habits on the occasion
referred to he is 81, 800 Sc out of pocket,
besides lawyers fees and cost Of suit
The example is worthy Of remembrance.
There are no duties which devolve upon a
citizen which can be as cheaply discharged
as those under the stamp laws, and few
which, if neglected, may cost careless
person more dearly Pill. Ina.
