From the Lebanon Herald, May 3D.
The person whose name heads this article
would not he of sufficient importance 10 de-
serve even a line in any respectable Jour
nal. were il not for the fact, that lac IL tenn
porarily invested with power rs one of the
sais-representatiycs Of Wilson county in the
rump Legislature at Nashville.
Some weeks ago we announced that he,
like the other blatent ioul-mouthed liadi-
Gals who are crying for more blood, was
equally as strong in his secession procliyi-
tixss OF the commencement of the late war.
WN have been ut some pains 10 get at the
iaas In the case. a gentleman who lives
n the same neighborhood with Grimmett
has furnished us with the following summary
Of his proceedings at the period above re-
ferred 10.
In the first place he was the most violent
seccssionist in the whole county, and was 50
overbearing in his opinions, that he did not
suffer any one 20 differ with him.
Now for the facts. In 1862 while gen.
tleman, now living in Lebanon, was recruit
ing a company for the Confederate army,
Grimmett held the umbrella over him while
speaking, and gave the cause all the eacour-
agement in his power. Remember, this was
in 1862, after the passage of the conscript
law by the Confederate Congress.
About the same time lac had an alterca-
ton with Parson Ivey on account of a dis
cussion as TO which was the best Southern
man.
He fitted out young gentleman in his
vicinity with clothing, &c, to go into the
Southern army, and promised TO support his
wife and family while gone

is now trying to tyranize over the gentlemen

THE WHEAT CROP.

As the season advances, il develops the
fact that the wheat crop will prove well nigh
failure in this vicinity, this year. The
excessive hard freezes last winter, unaccOm-
panied, as they were, by snow, made it by
far the most severe season ON wheat that
we have had for many years. Hopes were
entertained by some, in the early part of
spring, that the germ was not killed, and
that il would tiller sufficiently TO cover the
land, butwe notice many fields almost bare,
and have not TO this date, seen a single piece
Of wheat that would make fifteen bushels 10
the acre, even where il was protected from
the North winds. Many, very many fields
will not replace the seed put upon them.
Our best lands, with a favorable season, will
average from twenty TO twenty five bushels
per acre.
Apropos Of wheat,-we have heard il
suggested, by one of our most experienced
farmers, that the best preventive against
freezes is 10 put the wheat in with single
plows, always blowing east and west, leaving
the land in small ridges The Southern ex-
posure of those ridges will protect the wheat
from the freeze and, even allowing all the
northern side of the ridge 10 be killed,
that on the southern will tiller sufficient
ly cover the land. We think it worth
trying.
Since the above was written, we learn that
large fields of wheat are affected with a
singular and unusual disease, turning yellow
at the bottom and nearly all the blades hav-
ing yellow spots upon them. IL is apprc-
hended, where this disease has attacked the
wheat, there will be n total failurc.-G drks-

THE COTTON CROP IN SOUTHWESTERN
GEoRGIA.-The Albany Patriot, of the 2Sth
ult, SAYS: I'VE learn from some Of our
planters in this naighborhood that the cotton
planted this spring is dying out Large
fields, il Is said, which came up and looked
promising At first, are now past all hope.
This, the intelligent planters, whom wehavc
conyersed with on the subject, say it is re-
suit Of planting old, and perhaps, damaged
seed. The seed, when kept ON hand SO long
before planting, loses much of its vigor and
vitality, and although it may come up, has
not the necessary substance oroil in ittomake
the plant shoot downward in the clay 10 take
root Ii is well known that our planters,
for the last three or four wears, have planted
little or no cotton, and consequently the seed
used this spring had been on hand several
years, and, in many instances, had been very
much neglected and damaged. The result
now is that large, and perhaps the largest
portion of lands planted with this old and
damaged seed, will produce no cotton crop
in the cotton country Of the South, the crop
must necessarily be short. We hope. how
ever, this planting Of defective seed is con-
fined alone 10 this section"
