CHARLESTON, S.
West Virginia Against Radi
caHsm.
b An election has recently taken place in Wes
Virginia, the results OF which would indicate
though unheralded by kilograms, that proscriptive
I Radcalism is rapidly on the decline in that quar-
ter. The days Of bondage have been long and
| Of deliyerance cometh, it may be sign Of more
that is to come elsewhere. The election was
wholly a local one, being for county officers, but
may be none the less significant on that account
The Wheeling Register says:
The registration frauds, with whose details the
State has rung, have been rebuked. The test-oath
denominations have been spit upon. The whole
system of proscrptive legislation has been terribly
judged by the people, The details Of the elections
last Thursday week show that remarkable revo-
pie of West Virginia. The expression is general
and emphatic.
We have already given the returns from Ohio
and Brooke, showing the complete defeat Of the
formation Of handsome gains in Marshall, the
Democrats having carried at least two townships
in the county which have heretofore gone Radical
by large majorities. In Monongalia county the
democrats have not been idle. They have made
handsome inroads upon their opponents in various
parts of that hitherto hopeless county, the gain in
one township alone amounting to hundred and
twenty-five.
The Clarksburg Conservative says that in Marion
county, which has heretofore been entirely radical
with the exception of two townships, the radical
ticket has been defeated in fve out Of seven Of the
townships, notwithstanding the board Of registra-
ton struck of, as they thought, enough voters in
one OF the Democratic townships to give them
clear majority. Yet in this very township the
Democratic ticket was elected by larger majority
than ever.
A correspondent states that in Taylor County
ssthe Democrats have elected q large majority Of
acers, and have carried several townships which
the Radicals have heretofore controlled" Jeffer-
son County, which was regarded as Radical beyond
redemption, has also gone back. A large number
from the registrars books. The unlawful despot-
ism has had it's effect. At the recent election the
Conservatives carried every township in the coun-
ty. The election has taken place in Doddridge
County also. Last year the Radicals carried it,
and this year it goes Conservative. Randolph
from among the best men, has elected five or six
Conservative supervisors in the nine townships.
Other reports OF similar purport though less
minute, reach us from other quarters Of the State.
Georgia Crop Items.
We are pleased to learn from very intelligent
gentlemen, who has travelled extensively in North
Georgia, that the grain crops we're never more
promising, and that the farmers speak generally
OF seeking Augusta as the market. They certainly
can not find better market in the South.

promising, but some little signs Of rust. Corn
very uneven, but growing freely now. Cotton,
though backward, is now looking well where king
grass has not the ascendancy over it. Freedmen
are working better than last year."-Ihd
The following letter is from Chattanooga
County:
-, SUMRRvILIE, Ga, June 6, 1867.
EDITORS CoNsTTTUT1oFAIIsT: As you ask infor-
nation in regard to the growing crops, will state
that the wheat crop In this County is good--say
fifteen to twenty per cent. above an average. Oats
are very promising, though backward. l hear OF
no rust in them yet. Corn and cotton are from two
TO three weeks later than usual, and, in conse-
quence Of bad stands and continued cool weather,
do not think there can be more than half crop
of cotton raised in this County. There are at
least FIVE acres Of corn to one Of cotton in this
County. The freedmen are conducting themselves
well, and working faithfully as general thing.
Politics and money both fiat.
Very respectfully. &C., II. D. @. E.
TALL COTTON FOB THE SEAsoN.-We saw, yester-
day, stalk Of cotton, grown by E. 8. Garlick,
ured 81 inches in length, and that contained many
forms. His cotton field is, we dare ssy, the most
forward one in the county. This is attributable
aliketo high cultivation and liberal use OF the
celebrated fish guano.
- It is also our good fortune to be able to say that
both the cotton and corn crops throughout the
county never before looked half 30 promising.
Should there be no disappointment in regard to
the faithful performance Of the contracts entered
into by freedmen in this section, Burke County
will turn out as fine crop next fall as any osner
one in the State, provided the season continues
propitious and favorable as at the present time.
[Waynesborc' Times.
A correspondent Of the Recorder, writing from
Epson County, says the wheat crops are very good
on good lands. 0at crops bid fair for good yield.
The corn is growing very fast, but it is small for

Editors Macon Journal and Messenger:-T
wheat crop Of this section is now being rapidly
harvested. The quantity Of land seeded last fall
was fully one-third less than usual before the war.
The yield per acre will be good average, very
little Of which can be put upon the market, except
in exchange for other provisions to support man
and beast, in finishing our other crops.
The severe ordeal through which we are now
passing, for lack of provisions, has induced our
people to plant good proportion Of corn the pre-
sent year; this crop, though backward is general
ly in good condition and looks well. The same is
true Of the condition and prospect Of the cotton
crop. The quantity Of oats sown is small but
they look very we'll, and o rain or two now will
make them very good.
.i-g Yours, respectfully, j.
= A gentleman who has travelled over large por-
ton Of the State informs us that the wheat is be-
ing harvested in many localities and is everywhere
out Of danger and looking well. He states that the
estimated value Of the wheat crop in Greene coun-
ty, at 90 per bushel, is $500 A gentleman who
has been through some portion Of Morgan thinks
the yield will be about fifteen bushels per acre.
We think putting the yield at ten bushels per acre.
$25,O 900 would be safe estimate Of the amount to
be received from wheat actually sold in the mar
ket. Even this amount set in circulation in the
county would 60 tar toward reyiying trade and re-
lieying present need.-Madison Ne,os.
MERrwETHER Co., Ga, June 2, 1857.
EDITORS MACON TELEGRAPH: Crops in this re-
gion are quite promising. Corn and cotton never
were more 30. Wheat the best that has been made
in ten years. Harvesting is now going on. The
freedmen are faithful to their contracts, and are
Just as efficient, II not more 80, than when slaves.
In short, our physical and pe"lniary prospects are
bright
As to politics, we are not mu.n concerned. We
can and will live as we are rather than submit to
the atrocous measures of Congress. A very large
majority will vote mo Convention"
The promise Of the crops continues to be
superb. Spring wheat cannot now expect to doits
part with its winter brother, on account Of the
lateness Of the season for sowing; yet the employ
ment Of machinery in the grain fields will over
