The plain City leaves this port every

that she will continue to make regular
weekly trips, and make money at the
same time. The rich trade of the Green
river country should center here. So
should the trade of The Cumberland and
Tennessee rivers, and by concerted action
on the part of the merchants the trade OF
the latter points can be attained as readt-
ly as that of Green river.

by the merchants of Louisville to draw the

AGRICULTURE.
Statement of the Crops

WASHINGTON, Oct 29-The monthly
report Of Isaac Newton, Commissioner
Of Agriculture, says the returns OF the
local correspondence up to the LIST OF
October verify in all essential particulars
the statement respecting the crops con-
tanned in previous monthly exhibitions.
The condition Of the corn has suffered
some deterioration from early frosts and
excessive rain, but the crops are larger
than the largest ever previously chroni-
cled in the country.
In the production Of wheat, next to
corn the most important cereal, our az
riculture has been most fortunate.
For the present year, now nearly CON-
plete, the yield will not vary much from
lag, 0O0, 600 bushels, showing small per
centage Of decrease, which is fully CON-
pensaied By the comparatively superior
quality Of the grain, as was predicted in
a previous number. This is 10000, 900
bushels more than the crop Of 1859, and
is within 1000, 900 bushels Of product
in proportion TO theincreased population.

JEFFERSON DAVIS.

The Petersburg Inder says that when
the smoke and dust of this conflict shall
clear awsy, and the record Of the great
assize of history be made up, and the
sentence pronounced on this most stu
peudous struggle for nationality, there
will stand forth no figure SO sublime as
that Of this gallant soldier, brilliant ora
tor, sagaeious statesman, and Christian
gentleman, bereft Of every earthly
possession, shut out from all converse
with the human family, guarded by
mutes, jailered by tyrant, accused by
assassins, trembling with paralysis,
blind, manacled, tortured with an in
genius cruelty, which denied him sleep,
with brutal mob Of millions clamoring
for his blood, yet calm, defiant, and un-
daunted, asking no favor of the best,
and no guard against the worst, save
public trial in courts Of his foes
Life has been allotted to him well nigh
to the verge of his three score years.
Ronors have poured on him for more
than half his life, filing full the measure
of American fame. Yet were his life to
rival the ages of the patriarchs and his
honors to double the glories Of the illus
trious son of DAVID, the bright particular
wear of his history would be that in
which, chained captive, the last victim
of a lost cause, he raised his voice in per-
petual claim for no favor of twenty mill
lion of enemies, but justice.
A feeble tongue, it may be, that makes
the appeal, but the cry pierees the triple
iron of his dungeon, pierces the massive
walls of his bastile, browns the multitu-
dinous roar of the neighboring sea, rises
above the victorious nation paans, and
a fallen nation wall, and will 60 sound
ing down the ages, to assure the world
that the virtue men call Roman, and the
courage they call Spartan, died neither
on The Tiber nor the Euphrates.

MR.. pEABoDY's WEALTH.

Mr.. PEABoDY's fortune is variously es'
timated, and conjecture is busy trying to
discover what he is worth. In. 1851 he
was numbered among the millionaires OF
London, and during the following Ten
years his business greatly Increased. In
1860 he was said to be worth Sl5,OOo, OOO
in gold, and he has endowed various
charities in the princely sum of - ,OOO,-
600. Mr.. PEABODY is now probably
worth 100000 or sl5,OO0,OOO, for the
increase of his property during the past
six years has been considerable. For
tune has not smiled on him in vain, for
seldom has so bountifal a giver been
numbered among men.

"A hit OF HISTORY.

of household wrecks, were offered for
sale, but what principally attracted our

which had been forged during the late
war. and which, like everything else, have

battalion organized to drill with them ;
but they we're never. that we knew oil,
carried into battle. They were seized by
the Federal Government, sold at auction,
and we have heard it said that q number
of them we're bought by the Fenians. A
few hundred more were purchased at
auction, and we're sold again for few
cents apiece to be bent and used as ice
hooks. We presume that those that were
disposed of upon Saturday were destined
to similar purpose, and the facts alto
eether afford curious parody upon the
beating of swords into pruning hooks.

The diminution in the South is most
apparent The estimates point to less
than 1900, 900 bushels in the eleven
States heretofore unrepresented, a frac
ton less than three-tenths of the crop OF
1859. 1t is worthy Of remark in connec'
ton with the diminution ofthe past three
seasons, that the wheat crop Of England
has been likewise deficient since 1864.
The California wheat crop, Of which lit.
tie note has been publicly made in con.
nection with the present crop is excess
i've. In 1860 the product of this young
State was nearly 100000 bushels. Now
it is claimed by leading California agri-
cultursts that the surplus for export will
nearly double that quantity.
WASHINGTON, October 29.-lt is evil
dent that the entire wheat crop will ex-
coed, by several millions, that of 1859,
when the yield was reported at l63, l04,-
1923 bushels. There were five and half
bushels to each individual. In 1866 the
estimates point to five bushels to each
inhabitant. There is no ground, then,
for apprehensions of scarcity, and little
excuse in the amount of the crop for
starvation prices.
The yield of oats is extraordinary and
the quality excellent The indications
point to an increase from III ,492, 672
bushels, in 1859, to PSI, 9l2,695 in 1866
1t is the only crop in the South that
maintains an equality with its last cen
sus exhibit.
Hay is less in quantity than in pre-
vious years by from one to twotenths
but is better in quality
An analysis ofthe Southern returns up
to October lst does not warrant reduc-
ton of the former cotton estimate (much
below |, 750, 900 bales), though it is too
early for the small estimates. The
surety of the damage from insects is re-
ported as increasing.
