RADIcAL sLANDEns OF UNION SOL


Daring the session Of the Soldiers and
sailors Convention, the Radical papers as
sailed Them bitterly. One Of these assaults
and The manner of its reception, is thus
stated By the y. Y. HeralFs correspondent;
A rabid Radical local paper this morning
assails the Convention as being run by =" a
set Of bogus soldiers, militia officers, who
never saw real service IN the war against
the rebellion" An amusing incident oc-
CURED in connection with this SANDER OF
sisv-at-home Radical. The paragraph was
read at the breakfast table Of one OF the
hotels By Colonel BRowE, Of the Twenty
eighth New York regiment, who held the
paper somewhat awkwardly, in consequence
of having LEFT one Of his arms with the reb-
els in Virginia. The manned soldier called
the attention q his next neighb0r to the
statement who happened 10 be Captain DU-
PoNT, Of the Fourth Michigan tregiment.
The Captain took the paper and preceded
70 read the offensive article, which he was
compelled TO hold in close proximity TO his
face, through having lost his right eye by
Mimic ball at GAINES Mill, where he was
taken prisoner and reported on our side
dead. The Captain had scarcely finished
his reading before he was tapped on the
shoulder by an old army acquaintance, Cap
tain J. l. NOOK, Of the Tenth Pennsylvania
Reserves, a resident Of Illinois, whose atien-
ton he in turn called 10 the Radical slur.
The Captain read it with smile, and then
left the breakfast room with the usual gait
incident to a cork leg, with whichhe is sup
piled in place Of the one he lost at Cold
lIarbor, Virginia.

TIE CORN CROP OF THE UNITED STATES.
"A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Eagui-
rer shows by the following statistics that the
average increase of this crop is about five
per cent. per annum. In 1910 the crop was
81, 53l ,875 bushels; in 1850, 592,6Sl ,l04;
in 1850, 30,45l ,707, and the estimated crop
for 1866 is /, 039, 100000. The different por-
tions Of the United States where this crop is
the staple are as follows
New England, New York and New Jer-
sey, IS, GAS, 800 bushels; Pennsylvania, Ma
ryland, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina
and South Carolina, 12S, 1896, 249 bushels;
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas 147, 425,7 26
bushels; Ohio Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Missouri, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas, 550,G27, 943
bushels.
From these statements il will be seen that
the nation will have to depend mainly upon
the valleys Of the Missouri, Ohio and upper
Mississippi rivers; and from the States
3 above mentioned Illinois produces the great
est quantity. In Ohio the average yield
per acre for the last twenty years has been
thirty-three bushels, although as many as
one hundred and eighty bushels have been
grown on a single acre. There are many
counties in the State where the average
product is over forty bushels.

tees Of the Aniictam National Cemetery was
held in Baltimore last Thursday to adopt
plans for laying of, fencing aud ornament
ing said cemetery. The only point Of in
terest to us in this meeting was in reference
70 a rock in the cemetery grounds known
as LEES Rock" from the fact that Gen.
r. J.. LEE stood upon it for time during
the battle Of Antietam, or, as we call il,
Sharpsburg. At a previous meeting the
Board had decrecd that this rock should be
taken up and removed. At the meeting on
Thursday il was moved TO reconsider this
decree and retain the rock. The motion
was opposed on the ground that, to leave
the rock, was TO erect a monument 20 Gen
eral LEE The motion, however, prevailed,
and il was determined 10 retain the rock as
