LETTER FhOM GEN. SWEENEY.
General SWEENEY has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to our Consul in Canada:
D. TAnr,ton, Esq, United States Con'ul at To-
ronto G. W.:
Sir: Although am no longer connected
with the Fenian organization, l consider it q
matter of Justice to inform you that the
prisoner who is styled Colonel Lynch, and
who has been tried, convicted and sentenced
to be hanged on the 18th Of December next,
held no position in the Fenian army, was not
commissioned officer, and was not present
in any military capacity whatever. 1t is
likely that the Canadian authorities con-
founded the prisoner with Brigadier General
Lynch, of Illinois, who was ordered by me
to superintend the carrying out OF the expe-
dition against Fort Erie. Mr.. Lynch may
have been present as newspaper reporter
or mere straggler, for aught know, but
am very certain that he had no connection
whatever with the Fenian army.
Yours, respectfully, I. ". SWEENEY,
Late Commander-in-Chief OF the Fenian
army.

The Depertmert Of AericuIture,


The Commissioner Of the Department Of
Agriculture yesterday received . communi-
cation from correspondent at Stowesville,
Castor county, North Carolina, giving some
interesting facts relative to the general con-
dition Of affairs in that State. The CORE
spondent represents the corn and cotton
crops as good as usual this season, and states
that no general complaint Is made Of the
freedmen not working, nor complying with
their contracts. Many complaints are made,
however, relative to the frequency Of thieving
depredations throughout the State, the Of.
tenders being both white and black Since
the turning over Of criminals to the civil
courts this evil has been, 10 . great extent,
remedied, and it is hoped under this regime
that the State will soon be restored TO o
wholesome moral standard. Provisions Of
all kinds are still very high. The price paid
for male labor averages % per month.
From Iowa the Commissioner has received
information that the wheat crop this year
was the best ever raised In the State. The
sorghum crop was greatly injured by frost,
and the potato yield unusually small.
From Forteuelle, Nebraska, correspond
ent writes that frost has injured the corn
crop to o great extent in some localities,
while in others 1t was light. The late heavy
rains have retarded the ripening Of corn and
produced On overgrowth-high wind follow
ing has broken much corn from the stalk.
The crops Of oats and wheat are heavy.
