We are all interested in the coming fruit
crop, and it is very gratifying, indeed, to
hear that the prospects in all sections for q
large yield is very encouraging. The Dsyen.
port Gazette thus speaks OF the prospects in
its vicinity;
'1he apple trees all over the country so
far as we can learn, are laden with promise OF
blossom and fruit. Pears, cherries, and
even peach trees, where there are any, are
rhiniured and look exceedingly well. Mr..
James Means, of Pleasant Valley, well known
as one of the most successful of our fruit
growers, informs us that the fruit pospects OF
Scott county we're never better than now.
Unless some ''untimely FROST" or blight visit
this region, we may rejoice in abundance OF
fruit ere many months.

Ray Gen. B. F. Butler addresses the
following letter to the editor of the New
York Post
A correspondent in the Ecening Post
of Sept 8, signing himself "a Hard
Money Radical Republican" has coupled
the views upon finance which cursorily
expressed, with those set forth in the
speeches of Mr. Pendleton, of Ohio.
At the time Of my reported CONVERSE
ton | had not seen Mr.. Pendleton' s
views, and only a resume of them since
The difference between Mr.. Pendleton
and myself is radical, and cannot we'll
be overlooked without intellectual blind.
ness. Mr.. Pendleton desires the govern.
ment, by an exercise OF its supreme
power, to issue an amount of its prom
ises TO pay on demand without interest
THAT is, legal tenders,) and force its
creditors, by interest bearing bonds, to
take such issue in payment. OF course,
such issue would at once depreciate the
currency, and would be virtual repudia.
ton, which | have not favored, and do
not favor, either directly or indirectly.
My proposition is that the Government
shall offer to the country a new loan Sc.
cured by interest in currency bonds,
payable at long date, to which all future
issues Of Government loans shall be as
simulated, so as to make one class of
Government securities only, instead of
the nineteen different classes We have
now, aud with the proceeds of such loan
pay off our highest class Of interest gold
bearing bonds as they become due; not
to increase, and thereby depreciate the
currency, butte render the currency and
credit Of the Government more stable,
and, therefore, all the more valuable. by
reducing the debt by a reduction Of in
terest and increase Of taxable property,
causing our loans to be taken up in our
own ebuutry, so that we may not be
obliged TO pay tribute to foreign capital,
as we now do, at rate Of interest sx-
ceeding three times what they charge
their own governments.
70 the assertion Of your correspondent
that " a dollar is a dollar containing 2l3
grains Of gold" / answer that the value
Of that dollar, both in silver aud gold,
has been three times changed by the
Government, and that a dollar ia silver
or a dollar in gold is not now worth 50
much as the early coinage, to say moth
ing Of legal tender dollars.
Tothe assertion that by this course the
public creditor BY fve.twenty bonds is
injured, I reply that / propose to pay
him when his obligation falls due in pre-
cisely the same currency or money
which the Government has provided for
every other creditor, public or private,
TO be paid In, and that which il is de-
clared upon the hack Of every legal
tender be may be paid in, the best and
most valuable money which the credit
Of the country can sustain, bearing rela-

eminent, of what have they to complain
save that the Government will not tax
the people TO pay them usurous share (;
or, in other words, will not tax the peo.
pie to enable the capitalist to make n
speculation out of the necessities of the
| Government
History tells Of no government which
has yet paid his creditors all they leaned
to IT, and thus made them whole; and /
doubt whether good faith, good con.
science, or equity, require this Govern
ment to pay It's creditors three times

do not intend to argue these questions
only to correct misrepresentation. beg
leave, in closing, to repeat that do not
propose to depreciate the chrrency-not
to do injustire to the public creditor, but
to pay him according to the letter and
spirit of his obligation, and to secure
him from the danger of reputation,
which will surely follow an attempt at
enforcement upon the people by their
own votes an unjust and uncomfortable
transaction under the guise of a contract.

BT- One Maynard, who lives some
where on the Eastern limits of Brown
lows diminions, the door to which, near
Corinth, has lately been discovered,
made a speech in Baltimore the other
day doubtless forgetting that he was so
far out of his latitude. The following,
from the Baltimore Sun, shows how re.
markably the children of the sun are
captivated f" Mr.. Maynard, in his open
ing speech at the Border State Conven-
ton, said: When she (Tennessee)
acceded to the simple proposition of
legislating for the people-for human be-
ings-then all the difficulties of race aud
complexion and condition disappeared.
And so it will be throughout this country
when we reach that altitude. All the
difficulties that have shaken us with a
tempest will disappear and be at an end.
1t must be very gratifying to Americans
to be assured by this unquestionable
authority that, as soon. as the course Of
Tennessee is adopted in other States, the
condition Of things in that State will
prevail throughout this vast country.
This is the most encouraging incentive
to the remodeling of State governments
on Nr. Maynards principles we have yet
heard Of If they will only rise to the
altitude Of Tennessee the tempests
will subside with a delightful calm, which
