The Crops for 1867.

IHe SfOf,S ICf ACUt.
The summer is over, the harvest
Is ended, Inc time has come for
making up and publishing tie sta
tistics of the crops OF the present
year-the manifesto and statement
CT the agricultural interest Of the
country as to the result Of its efforts
during the season just closed. The
report of the Department Of Agri
culture for October, therefore,
which has just been made public, is
one of peculiar eIast, and we take
pleasure in laying It's facts before
our readers. The wheat crop is the
staple one, and OF course the figures
in relation to it will beread with the
most interest. Department States
that the wheat crop this year is the
largest ever harvested in this coun-
try. IT estimates the amount at
225, 100000 bushels, or 40,000,00O
more than last year. Nearly all the
Northern States show an increase
in the crop over last year. Ohio
leads, however, in the proportion
OF increase, for the reason that her
wheat crop last year was almost, if
not quite, q failure Our state shows
an increase from last year of nearly
13O per cent. The other Northwest
eFn states show slight but general
increase upon the crops Of last year.
The Southern States show a materi-
al enlargement il the area of wheat
soEn, evidently result ofthe idea
that the Southern states must be-
come independent for food as well
aS clothing and cotton. As to the
general quality of the wheat this
year harvested, the report declares
that the quality is greatly superior
to that Of last year. The quantity
is also greatly superior to that of
last year; it is almost universally
souId and cry. bet in many locali-
ties there may be found from a third
to half deficient in weight, lacking
IN plu1apness or slightly shriveled,
and passing as No. 2, being less
than 53 pounds to the bushel-
There IS also a geater tendency to
cIearness and care in preparing the
grain for market. High prices and
the marked discrimination Of buy
erS are doing service in this direc-
tioii.
In other crops than wheat the
yield shows a handsome and healthy
increase upon that OF the las5 year
Cats and rye show an increase upon
last yeas, barley, sorghum, back
wheat and potatoes, q decrease. Of
beans and peas, there is more than
an average crop Ehe corn-crop is
uniformly good in quality, leaving
no doubt that the value Of the en-
tira crop, after deducting the def
cioney ia the Ohio valley and allow
ing foE 81 Increase in almost all the
o.her States, will be greater, not
only in cash, but il intrinsic, life
susttaiaing, and pork producing pow
I er ,haE lastyear. The complete es
t.-n~tes of the cotton crop cannot
pe MADE until tie receipt of the re-
port ,fer Novembef.. The returns
d October indicate q considerable
increase in South Carolina, Georgia
and alabama; about the same yield
IS last year in Mississippi, Arkan-
aas and Teaneasae, and a marked
din;nution n Texas and Louisiana.
All tie estimates below 1000, coo OF

tdet:ly =faliacioas, while present indi-
cations savon,ssn approximate 10 q

The New York World is showing
that the present system of rccon9truc-
ton may prevent this intormi&t0ro OF
races in n way its adyodates have 10
thought of, viz. by u civil war at the
SOu.h.
"a war OF races, (aays the editor}
embittered against each other ly the
past, and still more by the present; q
war which will rage over the whole of
ten States, in every city, every town,
every village, every spot where white
and & black man meet; war i'll Which
The whole population will engage, in
which the combatant3 will be every
where side by side, and will everywhere
fight hand to hand; Il war which will
recognize no rules, will show ~ mercy,
and will end only when one or the 9th
er party is almost or wholly eXtcrmin-
ated.
We must not enlarge on the horrors
of such war The English in Jamal-
ca showed their appreciation of them
by crushing out what might have been
their commencement; and from the
history of what they have gone through
we see that this irightlul alternative
may come too late, and that at the
same time VIC may undergo the ca!am
tiles Of ama,gamation and civil war.

ferences at the South. Have its result.
been very pacific thus far? II so, why
do we hear so much of the or5oniza
ton ofmilitary bodies, white and black
| in the South, and why has Genera
Grantso promptly ordered the suppress
sion of the negro militia regiments /!
the District Of Columbia? ?
But peace and order reign through
out the South. you will tell US Yes
and how long do you think they wou!'
continue after the removal of the mill
governments and the departure Of tn
U. S. troops?
Such are the results we ape called ol
to accept-amalgamation and war o
rades one certainly, both possibly.
In the days ofthe French Revolution
humanity shuddered at the excease
which disgraccd the cause of freedom
In our day, and in our country, ther
has arisen party ofrevoutionists wht
also cry "Liberty, Fraternity, Equali
ty." They will plunge our countr,
into calamities not less than those o
which the Jacobins were the cause
Let us arrest them before it is to late
We have reason to hope that we shll
soon be able to do 30. The late elec
tions show that the people of the Nortl
are beginning to comprehend white
tends the progress of events, and tha
the time is perhaps not tar distant whcr
there will be full realization of tn
truth. When that day comes let thos
who in their fanaticism, their selfish
ness, their thirst for power, their gree
for spoil, have striyen to bring on thci
country this shameful degradation

We see o good deal in the Northern
papers about the dependence of the
whites of the South upon the blacks,
but such is not the fact as presented
in our daily experience. On the con.
trary, the farmers Of Middle Tonne ;see
are generally reducing the number of
their employees, and, when emmigra-
ton gets fairly to work, We shall have
labor enough. The latest case that
has come to our knowledge relates to
agcntleman, whom we shall call Mr..
v, who lives in the adjoining county
of Rutherford. He gave employment
this year to one hundred freedmen, but
having determined to reduce his force,
called all his employees up few NOR.
nings ago, and acquainted them with
his intention. He then selected twcn-
ty Of the best hans and offered to give
TO the inen 81 and to the women 81
per month and board for their services
next year. He told them to think
about itand give him an answer the
next day. Bright and early next NOR
ming the favored twenty made their ap
pearance and expressed their readi,
ness to accept the proposition that had
been offered. During the day large
number of those not included in the
proposition came to Mr.. V. and asked
to be allowed to remain and work for
their victuals and clothes, but their
services were declined.--NasAviNe Bar

Muzzling the Press in Tennessee


The following special telegram ap,
pears in the Louisville Courier, of yes
terday:
"Memphis, Dec 10-Messrs. Gallo
way, Rhea, and Clusky, editors of the
avalanche, were arrested to-day by Or
der of Radical Judge Hunter, and put

ruption,
The Judge had been liberating ne
eroes on straw bail in order to secure
votes. They will have hearing to-
morrow at 10A NJ"
This is a step which no civil officer
in Tennessee ever dared to take in our
history. is a fair indication of the
despotic spirit of Radicalism, and shows
how far it has advanced when Judge
stoops to initiate the despicable exam
pie of military tyranny Judge Hun
ter, when he entered upon the duties OF
his office, swore to support that con
stitution which says: "The printing
presses shall be free to every person
who undertakes to examine the procee-
dings of the Legislature, or of any
branch or officer of government; and
no law shall ever be made to restrain
the right their Of" Judge Hunter in
thus violating his official oath, furnish
es the strongest possible presumptive
evidence, that the charge of judicial
corruption made against him by the
avalanche, is true. The arbitrary and
unconstitutional arrest of editors by
Judges will hardly have tho effect to
satisfy the people that the Judiciary is
pure. On the contrary, they will the
