The Crops in Hardemun County.

The Crops IN Hardeman County.
Owing to the long continued wet
weather many Of the cotton and corn
fields are beginning to don rather q
verdant appearance. Both cotton and
corn look well, and our planters con-
sole themselves to some extent with
well founded anticipations of a rousing
crop. Wheat is doing finely, and gives
promise of a heavy yield, especially that
planted upon the rolling or table lands
There will be an abundance of fruit;
apple, peach, pear and plum trees are
literally crowded with young fruit of
the most healthy nature. Speaking of
plums induces US to remark that Har-
deman county, at least that portion of
il Immediately around Bolivar, can
"beat the world in that delicious fruit;
almost every ravine, and they ar innu-
merable, has it's dense thickets of plum
bushes, the most of which bear the
finest species of large red, yellow and
spotted plums. When we assert that
it is our opinion that this county could
furnish enough plums for the entire
district, il is shOru of the least sem.
blance of boasting 1t is a remarkable
fact that the bushes which bear this
fruit spring up spontaneously along
the hillsides and raVines in countless
numbers, and are true natives of the
soil, as much so as the useless cactus is
to the rocky ridges of Tamaulepas and
Chihuahua.-BoLgar Bulletin, l2h.
The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1866-05-18

The CROPS We hear very unfavora-
bic reports from all parts of the county
in regard to the growing crops The
recent cold weather has seriously re-
tarded the growth Of cotton, while the
army worms have played sad havoc
with corn and other vegetation. In
some localities the corn has been
plowed up and replanted The cut
worm has also ruined many gardens
hereabouts But notwithstanding the
unfayorable state of affairs, many Of
our farmers are still sanguine Of good
turn out when harvest time comes

Henry A. Wise has been making a
saucy speech in Richmond. "If l am
a traitor" he asked, why don't they
try me and hang me2' TO this
Greeley responds-"Poor man To
hang him would be to elevate him TO
the dignity Of martyrdom. He answers
a much more useful purpose in being
allowed to live and talk" That "use-
full purpose is, we suppose, furnishing
the radicals with weapons to assail the
President and bis supporters. Thus do
the ultra, the mean and the vicious, on
the opposite sides, now, as before the
war; become allies.

Rebels Cannot Hold Office in Wis
oOnsin-OpiniOn of the Attorney

General. ..'
From the Madison (Wis.) Journal.
IL appears that at an election in Red
river in Kewaunee county, man nam
ed Ferdinand HeaVers, who had served
as volunteer in the rebel army, was
elected town clerk and justice of the
peace. His predecessor refusing to give
up the books and papers of the office
to him, he wrote to Attorney General
Gill asking his opinion as to his ebgi-
bility. The Attorney General replies
that he cannot hold the office to which
he was elected, and says:
Having served as volunteer in the
late rebel army, you have forfeited all
political rights under the United States
Government, and that Government can
alone restore them Having placed
yourself in the attitude of an alien
enemy to the United States Govern
ment you cannot exercise the rights
and privileges not accorded to aliens,
who are not enemies. Not having the
right to vote you cannot hold office.
No republic could live long if its
enemies could without
its consent participate in its admins
tration"

DIsGRAGBFUL SPoRT.-The Indianapo-


lis Herald says:
We understand that certain parties have
been guilty of the most disgraceful and I'M
sportsmanlike conduct in catching bass OFF
the nest. The female bass deposits her eggs
in a nest of rocks, and then stands guard to
keep the minnoWs from devouring them.
Large numbers of bass are constantly found
around these nests, and no skill is required
in catching them. All that is necessary is
to drop a mInnOw with a heavy sinker, into
the nest, when the maternal bass goes for
it, ii hungry she swallows it and is hook
ed, but II not, simply bites it in the middle,
to kill it. Finding that it does not float
away, she gets mad, and swallows it 10 get
