brilliant light, by which you can see

The CROPS.--We took special
pains on Monday last to obtain from
the planters from different parts of
the county, information in reference
to the crops. From all points the
intelligence was of an unfavorSble
character. The unprecedented wet
weather for the last two months has
proved very detrimental to all plant.
ing interests. The wheat is being.
attacked with rust and smut. Corn
grows tOlerably well, but grass grows
faster, and the freedman cannot
",hOe out his row" with sufficient
CELEBRITY to keep it in check. The
crap" is, therefore, as Cousin Sally
billiard said, " smartly in the grass"
and short rations of corn for man
and beast will be the result. AS to
cotton, wet weather and unsound
seed has fixed the fate of that crop
beyond the hope of redemption. In
comparatively few instances have
good stands been obtained. One
genueman remarked to us on Mon !
say. that he had been planting in
s,sadison county for more than TWEEN |
- years, and he had never. known
the prospects for crops, generally, SO
gloomy as 40 present.-The sources
Of our information include every sec
tion of-the county, and may be re.
garded as entirely reliable. \

WASHINGTON, October 12.-Thc Philadel-

its correspondent was deceived in tcle-
graphing despatch to the effect that the
President had addressed O. letter to the
Attornev-General,a asking, substantially, as
to the constitutionality OF not sending his
message to Congress, and If he has not the
power to re-orgunize the Southern repre-
sentntlves and Administration representa-
tives Of the North as the legitimate Con-
grcSs, etc. The excitement which was
occasioned by this sensational report is
allayed under the emphatic and semi
official denials which are published.

RADIcALIsM IN TEXAS. The En-
1uirer, published in Brennan, Texas.
the scene of the late riots and incen-
dlarism, speaks as follows:
"What better evidence of forbear-
ance and patience can be required of
OF people to show their loyalty than
that evinced by the citizens of Bren-
ham during the past week? The
minions of the radical faction, in
imitation Of the same ilk of New
Orleans, using their greatest exer-
tions to exasperate and force our
citizens to a collision, and thereby
furnish political capital for their en-
ployers, having failed thus far. A
recital of the many disgraceful acts
of the military stationed ut this place,
under command of Capt. Smith, we
deem unnecessary at present. There
is Il point when torbearance ceases to
be u virtue. Our citizens were not
intimidated, but actuated by a spirit
of loyalty and an earnest desire to
sustain the President in his recon
struction policy, refrained from be-
slowing the chastisement SO easily
inflicted and SO eminently due the
midnight house breaker, robber and
torch incendiary."

The PROSPECTS OF THE MEXICAN EN-
PIRE.--Col. Sweet, of the San Antonio lie
RAD, Is now in the city of Mexico. AIorac-
tical, common sense man, looking into
things here, he writes thus of the prospects
of the Empire
Although we are not sufficiently we'll
posted to give any particular or definite
opinion as to the success and durability of
the Empire, still we can say this much,
that since our arrival up here, we do not
meet with daily reports of the Empcror's
aodlcatlon, as we did at Vera Cruz, and on
our way up We are furthermore OF the
opinion, from what we have seen and
heard since we reached this point that it
Is no part OF the Emperor's programme
to abdlcate of his own accord, or to be
driven from his throne by the Liberals in
this country. He is playing for a large
stake, and he intends to see the game out
II the Empire is not IL success, we don't
think 1T will be the fault Of his Majesty
Macmillan. Judging from this stand
point, and taking the statements Of those
who have been watching the course of
events for the last twelve months, the
prospects of the Empire as a Government
are brighter and stronger to-day than for
any one period in that length of time.
he thus speaks Of the ex-Confederatcs
in that country:
Some of them are doing very well, while
others are only making bare subsst-
ence. Others are discouraged, and are
Hi@h!hS arrangements to return to the
United States. Most of these gentlemen
came to TINS country without money, and
without knowledge Of the language. and
IL ~ no wonder that number OF them are
: ,.au'y disappointed IN their hopes. Those
de4ho have applied themselves to learn the
language, and who have also hunted up
some occupation, will certainly do we'll j..
tune, Ii the Empire succeeds.

INCREASE OF CouNTERFErr1NG.- The
Baltimore Sua, of Wednesday,, says:
''From all accounts, it woul,t seem
that counterfeiting was never carried
on more extensively, or with greater
success, than at present The Bank
Recie'c says that many of the most
sklllful workmen are engaged in the
business on their own account. and
many more under pay of the most
notorious and successful dealers in
counterfeit currency. The uniformity
of the national bank notes aids the
counterfeiter very much in his work.
