THE WHEAT CRoP.-The news in refer
ence to the wheat crop continues favorable,
notwithstanding an occasional apprehen-
sion about the rust. The Chattanooga
Union of yesterday says: Capt. Geo. S.
Ruble, who has been taking trip through
upper East Tennessee, informs us that the
wheat there is looking very finely. He
thinks that there is little danger from the
rust, which is only attacking the blades at
present; much of the wheat will be fit for
cutting in ten days"
In Dade county, Georgia, they have al
ready commenced harvesting, and in Cen
trail Georgia, We learn from the Rome
COurier, the prospect of good wheat crop
is undated, and is, in fact, now almost
certain. Nothing but a great storm or
long continued rain can now iniure il
Some is already harvested, and considera-
bic more will be cut this week.
The same paper says that although the
present price of wheat is from 50 rs to SO,
yet the impression prevails that the new
crop will open at only about two dollars.

WELCoME.-We received yesterday the
issue of the Shoe and Leather Reporter for
August %, 1864 1t has been long time
on the journey to Nashville, and great
events have taken place since it left the
counting room in Boston. The war has
come to a close-that is, the war in the
field between armed men-and another
struggle is in progress struggle between
the people aud the bad men, pictured by
the Reporter in the following lines:
There are and have been among us a
set of cold-blooded spectators, limited to
no creed or party, who would welcome the
defeat of our troops, as it would have a
tendency to advance prices and make spec
ulstiVe operations profitable. That these
men have certain influence in prolonging
the war we have no doubt, and it would
be well for the country if summary mea-
sures were taken with this class of persons,
who are traitors to their country, just as
much as any member of the Rebel govern
ment"
The gamblers in stocks aud politics are
as busy now preventing peace as they were
then. But they will be overwhelmed at
last

The Secretary of the Treasury has issued
a circular approving of the use of the fol-
Lowing named locked safety valves, at the
option of steamboat owners, subject, of
course, to the usual inspection test applied
by local inspectors, and the. examination
and approval or disapproval for special
reasons by the supervising inspectors.
These valves, though in their general
character approved, are yet to be subjected
to a most careful and exact scrutiny as to
the quality of the material and their work

ticular case. The enumeration is by no
means to exclude others of an equally

9uired to afford to all such thorough and
impartial examination, and accept any
found to possess equal merit. The valves
chosen are: First, the American high and
low pressure; second the Robinson high
and low pressure; third, the Farran high
and low pressure; fourth, the Mason high
and low pressure; fifth, the McMurchy.

DEsTRUCTIVE C0NFLAGRArIoN

Five Business Houses and "a Livery
stable at TuIIahOma I'm Ashes.
The most destructive confagration that
ever visited Tullahoma, occurred at that
place on the morning of Wednesday
sweeping away in its terrible course large
livery stable and FIVE business houses, and
leaving a broad mass of ruins in their
place The ERE broke out in the stable OF
VIM. McLemore, on Lincoln street, just
after a number of horses belonging to Bar
mum, Van Am5urgh 4 Castello's circus had
been removed therefrom, and before an
alarm could be sounded, the flames were
rapidly creeping over the dry, COM
combustible material in the building, and
in what seemed almost an instant, great
sheets of fire were shooting high upward
from the burning structure, and threaten
ing every building in the vicinity.
The hastily gathering citizens found it
impossible TO check the surging element,
and it was soon sweeping resistlessly over
the roofs of several stores, while those es-
Establishments were emptied Of nearly all
their contents in the short space of time
allowed for the work. The buildings being
all frame structures, were given up, and not
until every enc of them, from the stable TO
the corner of the street, had crumbled, did
the flames in any way subside.
We have heard no estimate of the loss,
but il must have been very heavy. Only
one of the buildings was insured. The fol-
lowing business places were destroyed, in
addition to one the name ID whose owner
we did not learn:
Drygoods store of Campbell & Gentner.
Drygoods and grocery store Of Elkin &
Las-aler.
Drug store of Mr.. Williams.
Saddlery establishment, name of proprie-
tor unknown.
Livery stable of Vim. McLemore.
The fire was probably started by stray
spark from 4 pipe or cigar in the stable,
bat our informant knew nothing positive
in regard 10 ita origin.

The gold interest on the funded public
debt paid out of this revenue at New York
amounts at present, to 53,0l5,3lO, and at
the other offices of the Treasury about $780,
100000. A balance Of about $4,000, 600 of
the May interest remains to be called for
in June, so that seventy-fye millions of the
hundred and seventy-fve will have been
required for this object. OF the 100000,
900 gold surplus, the Treasury has probably
sold less than one-fourth, and now holds
the remainder in ownership of the govern
ment, in addition to the gold belonging to
depositors and represented by outstanding
gold notes or certificates, as they are indif-
ferently called.

REMARKABLE COMBAT WITH Crow
One of the most remarkable combats that
has come to our notice for some time, oc-
CURED yesterday on the roof of building
on Deaderick street, between Cherry and
College. A lank, ungainly crow, with the
same somber plumage and hungry beak as
the one celebrated in verse as hay
ing sat with his mate upon a tree, cogitat-
ing upon the prospects of distant dinner,
alighted upon a chimney, near where a
workman was humping with a mallet up
on the bright new sheets of tin which had
been spread upon the roof. Apparently
unaware of the presence of any one, the
sable bird sat complacently upon his perch,
while the workman at once set his wits at
work to devise a plan of capture. After
meditating a few mements, he began eau
tiously creeping up behind his intend
ed victim, and on coming within
reach, laid quick, glancing blow across
its back, and stretched his hand to catch it
as it should fall The crow, however, did
not fall, and shout went up from the spec
idtOaH, as AZ thIuSu upon ITS ASShliant lu-
riously, and darling into his face, CON-
PEELED him to beat a hasty retreat Then
resnming its place, it threw up its head
and awaited second onset. The man
could not once think of giving up such a
contest, and in few minutes was again ad-
vancing toward the bold bird, who, on
seeing his approach, second time darted
at him, the man making vigorous sweeps
with his msllet, and the crow adroitly
dSdging them, meanwhile making decided
Roadway upon the hat and countenanee OF
its persistent foe, who was at last compelled
TO sgain slide back. Again taking courage,
however, he advanced third time, when
series of attacks and repulses followed
resulting in a complete victory for the
crow, who, as the battle closed, perched de-
family in its first position, where it re-
manned for about half an hour, and then
few toward the fitting white clouds that
were floating across the sky.
