DABNEYss LIFE AND CAMPAIGNS OF
sTOyFWAII, JACKSON.

This work, heretofore announced, has been
issued from the press of Messrs. BLELOcK &
Co., Of New York, and this State is now
being canvassed for subscribers to it. 1t
will not be found in any Of tie bookstores.
When all the subscribers are supplied it will
pass out Of print.
Il is the fullest and most authentic bio
graphy Of its ilIustrious subject that has aP-
peared, and must continue to be a stGndord
history Of the man and the events it relates.
The entire people Of this country know and
appreciate the general outlines Of the char
acter of the conscientious Christian hero,
who astonished the world by his deeds, and
fell in the midst of the admiration of his
| friends and the wonder and respect Of his
foes Lieut.. Gen. JACKSON gave to Ameri-
can biography a new name and character,
original and inimitable, and will 60 down in
history as the most striking and interesting
| DEVELOPMENT of the late war. While, in this
country, his Southern friends boast Of hi.
military genius, and cherish his virtues and
piety as feshly perfection, his adyersarie'
admit his fearful skill in war, pronounce
him one Of the greatest Of public criminals
and vet accord to him the possession of mos
eminent Christian attributes! The lift
which produces such contradictory, ye
fiattering opinion among his contemporaries
and receives such tributes as are thus given
is really immortal among men.
Dr. DABNEY is scarcely inferior in his
sphere, to JACKSON in his. They wer'
bosom friends and companions before and
during the war. DR.. D. probably knew per
sonally more of the inward and private
life Of JACKSON than any other man. HI
was present With him in his conflicts anC
triumpbs; and in the preparation Of hi
work had unlimited access to all documents
public and private, necessary to its authen
ITCHY and completeness. He has therefore
presented US a work that may be elaborated
but not improved. Gen. LEE also revise,
the work in manuscript and it comes to u
with his unqualified Endorsement.
Gen. JAcKsoN's family, whom the wa
left comparatively destitute, are directly in
terested in the sale of this book, which wa.
written and published, in part to reliev
their pecuniary necessities. We hope tina
no family library in this State will be with
out copy.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-The bulletin Of the
Health Board showed a decrease in the
number Of cholera cases yesterday. For
the twenty-four hours ending at 2P. NJ,
elyen cases and three deaths were reported.
The reports from the hospitals also indicate
the abatement Of the disease. The mOrtu-
airy report was concluded yesterday, and
showed that over sixty per cent. Of the total
number Of deaths were from legitimate
diseases.
In Brooklyn the epidemic had not abated.
The number of deaths were not reported
yesterday.
On the islands the cholera continues to
decrease, but communication was still re-
stricted with them.
New ORLEANS, August The Board OF
Health report the number of deaths for the

itary commander himself viii be the first to
corroborate these facts and to arrest all
eliminating imputations against the con
duct of our people under these trying cir
cumstances.
As regards the proclamation of martial
law, the least that can be said is that It was
inoportune, for the rioting had ceased en-
tirely, the police being masters Of the situa-
sion.
The colored population, as a body, did
not participate in these disgraceful scenes,
and freedmen in the vicinity Of the not
were standing as lOokers-on, without being
molested.
The colored mob, in unison with few
white rioters who were leading them in this
affair, were no doubt well organized. That
they were well armed is undOubted, since
two policemen and several citizens were
either killed or wounded by them.
Although the conflict was over in less than
two hours, % rioters were killed and con-
siderable number wounded.
At dark, when all was over when those OF
the mob were either dispersed or in prison,
and tranquility and order was restored, mar
tial law was proclaimed, and the prisons
where the rioters were confined emptied by
orders from headquarters. These measures
undoubtedly were not intended for reviying
the hopes of the outlaws; but were they not
calculated 10 inspire them with false hopes?
The very next morning the organ of the agi-
tators was issued, containing, as usual the
most inhamatory articles, and so the succeed
ing issues.
Had the military, on Monday evening,
taken stand to cooperate with the civil
authorities, instead of proclaiming marital
law, the most beneficial effects would have
been the result.

CorroS.-In an elaborate estimate in the
New York Times, the yield is put down at
nearly one-half Of that Of 1860, except in
Tennessee and Florida, the last being 100,
600 bales against $1,000 in 1850, and in the
former 1875 900 bales against 996, 4O4 in 1860
BY this calculation, the estimate makes out
a yield Of 100000 against 5,lS5,925 bales
in 1850. An accounts that reach us from all
quarters accord in the fact that the land
planted will fall considerably short Of a full
yield. while all know that the extent o.
ground planted is not one-half Of that titled

THE GRAIN PRODUCTS OF THE
COUNTRY.

New York Commercial List.l
There is scarcely doubt that the grain
product of the country at large will consti-
tute a supply of the prime necessities of life,
ample foo all wants of consumption and
commerce. The great bulk of the wheat
crop has already been secured in excellent
condition, and the united testimony of our
Western exchanges is, that whatever de-
fciency there may be in quantity will be
made up in quality Even the farmers,
who are proverbial croakers" seem to be
abundantly satisfied with the result of their
labors. The Commissioner of Agriculture
thinks the crop will be an average of 81
tenths in quantity, and of quality that
will make it fully equal in value to last
years crop. An Ohio correspondent makes
an elaborate approximate estimate of the
cereal crops, and inasmuch as his deduc-
tons are made principally from personal
observation, his views are entitled to some
consideration. He places the wheat crop of
the country as follows:
...,........123, 104 9I bushels
1874 900 bushels
AT the ratio of increase in the Wheat crop
from 1910 to 1865 per cent. year-it is
argued that we should have 225, 134, 900
bushels as the yield for 1856. The esti-
mated yield of Corn this year is set down at
1000, 100000 bushels, against 832;792, 740 in
1860, as ascertained by the decenDial can
vassers. Such a CROP it is calculated, would
alone support 100000 of people and all
the cattle necessary for their meat and but
ter The world has never seen anything in
agriculture at all equal to this. The fact
that this staple product is rapidly working
its way into popular favor in Great Britain
is all the more gratifying, in view of its
steadily increasing production in this coun-
try. The strength of this branch of agricul.
tural country lies in the Central West, and
there it will no doubt remain for the next
century at least The Dat crop of 1866 is
estimated at 200,O0O,000 bushels, against
1880, 722 in 1860. The Rye and Barley
crops are expected to be in excess of those
of any previous year, while root crops give
promise of great abundance.
Here, in brief, is an exhibit of the situa-
ton, as far as concerns the supply of home
products essential to the subsistence of the
masses, and no cutlery of scarcity, raised for
sinister purposes, can do away with the sub
stantial facts upon which we predicate year
of plenty, if not of low prices. What the
prospects are likely to be for an outlet for
our surplus crops, it is yet too early to judge
with any degree of certainty; though with
peace and abundant crops in Europe, the
foreign demand for American breadstuffs, it
would seem, must continue to be very limit
ed, thus necessitating their consumption
chiefly by our own people.-Ne10 York Com

GENERAL HINDMAN AND HENRY s.
FOOTE.
From the n. 0. Crescent

From the N. o. Crescent
Those who write history in the lifetime
of the subjects of it, must expect to have
their criticisms overhauled. Among those
who are now verifying this, is HENRY S.
FoorE, who, Of all men, should have been
most silent, vet was one of the first TO get
into print, with his "War Of the Rebellion .
1t seems that in this book he makes very
gross charges against General HINDMAN, of
Arkansas, now Of Mexico. Gen. II. replies
with disproof Of his several specific accusa-
tions, and then closes with an invectiye
which even Mr. FooTE's powers Of language
cannot reach:
''As for the hook before mentioned, it can
do no hurt where the author is known-re-
pudiator, bond payer, Wing, Democrat,
Know-Nothing, Unionist, SecessiOnist-eve-
rything by turns and nothing long; a pOliti-
cal mendicant in half the States, and a refu-
gee from every party, betraying and despised
by all; placarded as a constitutional liar"
years ago, by the great captive whom he at
one moment ISLANDERS and at the next insults
with a spurious sympathy; thrust forth from
Mississippi with the formal declaration OF
her House Of Representatives impugning
his vcracity branded on his forehead
with such antecedents up TO 1861, and
with the black record, painted by him
self. Of time-server factionist, traitor, and
sycophant, during and since the war; how
ling against the North when Southern for
tunes we're at their food embarrassing our
counsels when the tide began to ebb; igno-
miniously deserving to the enemy when great
disasters belel us, and fawning upon that en-
envy when our countrys subjugation had
been wrought-how is it possible for him to
win credence from the public or pass his
base lies for truths2 Relish his acts as they
NAV, his present masters must loathe him,
in disgust heard, a little while back, that
he was deau, and was surprised that senti-
ment charitable toward him sprang up in my
mind: it was that he might turn out to have
had at least as much grace as lscARToT, and
had hanged himself in atonement for three
score years Of continuous lying and treach-
cry. He must be aware that his career can
fitly have but this termination. His own
are the only hands vile enough to end his
existence, and the nav of the carriOn crow
the natural place Of sepulture.'

THE COTTON CRoP.-According 10 the
estimate Of intelligent gentlemen in Missis-
appi, who compose an association for col
lecting data as 10 the cotton crop Of that
State, one-fourth Of an ordinary crop would
be an extravagaut estimate Of the cotton
that will be made in Mississippi this year.
If this estimate be correct, the whole crop
Of the United States may not exceed three
fourths Of a million. England, notwith-
Standing the iniquitous three cent export
duty, will need not less than one million
bales Of American cotton, and il Is not inn
probable that New England manufacturers
may have to pay Fifty cents per pound for
al the next crop they use.
