Uha Crnna Of 1867.

1t is yet too early to make anything like
accurate calculations as to the amount OF the
crops of this season. The effect of the drought
on the Western corn, and of the army worm on
the Southern cotton, is yet very uncertain.
rough guess may, however, be made, Wnlcn
will give some general idea of the amount OF
our agricultural products. Something OF TINS

Crops in 1860

According 10 this table, our agricultural pro
ducts will be about forty per cent. greater than
in the very prosperous season of 1850. If we
compare values, the result is still more favora-
BILE to 1867. The greatest advance, of course, has
been in the price of cotton, but nearly all the
more important products sell tor more now than
in 1860, even on a gold basis. In spite of pro-
tracted rains on the Atlantic slope, of the army
worm in the Southern States, of dry weather
in the interior, and of the disturbed and un-
settled condition of ten States, we are blessed
with yield of the great staples which will
prevent famine and serious suffering during
the coming season in the Southern States, and
will make the more prosperous States in the
North and West better able to meet the bur.
dens of an unnecessarily oppressive taxation.

Tennessee,

The condition Of things in Tennessee
is truly dep'orable. The Richmond
Times says that the political canvass
now in progress is. carried on with bit
terness that reaches ferocity, and the pa
pers abound in reports Of the worst enor'
mites practiced on both sides. Companies
Of the State militia are alleged in several
Instances to have taken men from their
houses and ordered them sho, for having
been in the rebel army. 1t seems not at
all unlikely that the State may drift into
civil war quite as fatal to its peace and
prosperity, though not so extended in its
operations. a. that from which we have
just emerged. Gen. THOMAS has been at
Washington lately to give the government
information Of the condition and prospec:
Of public affairs. What else could be sx-
pected when irresponsible power was con-,
ferred upon 6end rnepns,e like BRowN
