SHOCKING REBEL BARBARITY IN VIRGINIA
Among the ', luminous reports Just receiv-
by General Howard from his subordinates
IN the freedmen's bureau is a detailed GER
tilted statement Of the barbarity of Vir-
ginia lconlaH, inflicted upon her female
slave, which almost defies human belief,
and far surpasses the exaggerated pictures
of fiction. This woman has been in the
habit of beating her slaves for many wears
and the fact that they were made free
seems to have intensified all the passions
Of her nature. The case referred to is that
of girl or young woman, and is said to
be mere illustration of the manner in
which similar cruelties Were practised up
on others. She was stripped naked. tied,
acd thrown face dOwnwards before hot
fire. Her back having been burnt or
scorched by the fire, her mistress proceed
ed TO lacerate by whipping her with the
greatest fury. after which, horrible to re-
late mixture Of cayenne pepper, vinegar
and oil was poured over the shrieking and
almost delirious victim Lest what | saw
may be doubted, deem it my duty to tell
you that | have this statement from Gen.
Howard's own lips, and will tomorrow fur
nish you with a cirCumstantial account.
General Howard has photograph of this
poor creature in his possession, and Judge
Underwood of Virginia proposes to take
her into his own family and to accompeny
her 10 the President of the United States
there TO let him see the last specimen Of
the humanity of the reconstructed rebels

BREAD ENoUGH.-In Ohio, wherever the
wheat has been harvested, there is gener-
ally a much better yield than the most san
guine anticipated The corn crop looks
unusually promising, and the quantity
planted far exceeds the average. Oats
and barley look extremely well, and a
large yield is expected. Accounts from
various parts of Indiana, and especially the
Southern part, show that the wheat crop
will be much better than was anticipated.
The yield in bushels per acre will fall be-
low the usual average but the grain is
well filed and very large. Very encour-
aging accounts are given of the oats, corn
and potato crops. In Illinois the farmers
feel encouraged at the yield of wheat, be-
ing so much greater than they expected
In some parts Of the State the corn crop.
on account of the lateness Of the season,
is somewhat backward, but the farmers
predict more than an average crop. In
Michigan wheat is making a much better
turn out than heretofore anticipated From
all parts Of the State we receive encoarag-
ing accounts of all kinds of crops III a
large portion of Iowa the wheat crop will
not be far behind the average and in other
crops there will be more abundant Yield
than for many years. From Kansas and
Missouri our exchanges report the same
favorable account in regard to the yield of
wheat being much better than expected.
and other crops are very promising.

The CHOLERA IN NV YoRE.-NEw York,
July 20.-The Commercial 43rerti.er says
"facts show conslusively that the cholera
is now raging in certain portions of this
city, and it is beyond doubt that the cpl
demic is now pursuing its incipient steps,
beginning in the regions most favorably
disposed for its development The facts
relative to the number of cases on Hart's
island are deemed 50 appalling that it is
publicly stated that Surgeon Calhoun Of
that post has died OF the cholera, and an
able corps of physicians have been sent
there and TO Governors island. Seven
hundred recruits recently sent from Hart's
island for the army in Georgia, had the
cholera to break out amongst them before
reaching Savannah--three dying before ar
irving at Tybee Island"
Several additional cases are reported in
the city to-day.

bands, free passage and lavish expendi-

number Of Vice Presidents, among whom
was H. Il. Smith Of Lancaster Speeches
were made by Richard Vaux, Hester ely
mer, Montgomery Blair, George II. Pendle-

tions were Of the usual stereotyped order,
interspersed with expressions Of devotion

TENNESSEE, through her Legislature, has
ratified the Constitutional Ameudment--in
the Sen tie, by IA 10 6-in the House by
43 to IL As full Senate consists of 25
and full House of IS members, constitu-
tional quorum (two-thirdsl was present and
voted in either House. We rejoice that, in
spite Of very strong Executive influence ex-
erted from Washington, Tennessee has thus
early enrolled herself among the States IA
voring and aiding a safe and speedy resto-
rattan of the Union
The Legislature convened on the 4th
inst; and this result would have been
reached at once but for conspiracy of the
Copperhead minority to absent themselves
and thus prevent quorum. There were
votes enough to pass the bill at all times
but there were not members enough pres
ent TO make quorum till Wednesday when
the work was promptly concluded So
Tennessee gives the first Southern response
to the overture Of Congress looking to a
speedy return Of all the States to fraternity
and genuine peace.
