siz- As we wbirIedplongt hFougli Mississippi
Alabama and East Tennessee, q was forcibly
struck with the large increase of lands under
cultivation this year over that Of any pre-
vious year since the. war and pleased to see
thatyas tracts. are sogn in wheat which Is
already well up aud gives tokenfof full
harvest think there viii be more than
enough wheat raised in East Tennessee to
supply TIE whole State observed too, that
throughout the mountains and valleys Of the
eastern part of our State they are proving
tic system % e}eep cnltiyatian. large, heavy
ploWs, drawn By oxen orby tive horses, turn
the ground over from six to eight inches in
depth, and in many portions The sides Of
the hills and noun tains are ia a fine state
of cultivation from the base mp to the very
summit In the Oia Dominion, too, there
is a great increase in the amonnt of land
being cultivated this year, and corr and
wheat claim the larger portion But all
along, from Manassas junction to the Poto-
mac, there is still. presented a fearful Beene
Of destruction and desolation ruins Of
houses, perfectly riddled by shells and shot j;
The face Of the earth a perfect honeyeomb Of
Qualifications, parallels, angular bastions5
rife pits, etc, and thousands and thousands
of acres of land stretching away on al
sides, as far as the. eye can reach, perfectly
destitute of fences or enclosures of any
kind As We approached This city my soul
was stirred within me as looked out upon
" Arlington Heights, and saw the magniG-
cent mansion of Gen. r. E. Lee, giving egi-
dence by the flag floating in front that it is
still held from its rightful owner, and the
whole of that splendid plantation dotted
over with the cottages of what is denomi-
mated freedmen's town.
The general topic of conversation here in
the city is, of course, Impeachment" and
opinions are various as to the. result of the
trial, but it is very evident that the. impeach-
ears are not as confident of success as they
were a short time since Manager Bout
well opened with long, lame and muddy
speech on wednesday, and continued part
Of Thursday: The remainder of Thursday
and much of Friday was occupied by Mr.
Nelson's of Tennessee, on the part of the
President, and it was thought with some
marked effect upon the Senators. I find
quite a large number of persons here who
do not believe the President viii be i'm
peached, and he himself is said to be as
cool and determined as ever, and attends to
his affairs just as If nothing at all was 60
ing on which can affect him unfavorable.
There Is a great deal of life and activity
here now and many objects of interest on
which might enlarge, but as I must take
the train for Baltimore in a few minutes I
must close this hasty COMMUNICATION.

Molasses.

Owing to the change of labor and the de-
strUction of the levees IN Louisiana the pro-
duction of the above article has fallen off to
One-twentieth of its former production,
which enables the producers to enhance the
price of it to FIVE times its proper value,
which puts it out of the power of many
people to crafty their children with that
very wholesome and das;rable article With
the exception of bread / don't know so de-
sirable an article for a family as moIasses.
Now we have a remedy within ourselves
All the farmers throughout the country can,
without incOmmoding themselves, raise one
half to three acres of the Chinese Sugar
Cane and the objection heretofore to this
was the difficulty of obtaining the molasses
from it; but p w. Gates & Co, of Chicago,
write me they will furnish here, for about
$500, the crusher and evaporator, which
with one horse, half a cord Of wood, and men
enough to handle the cane, viii make three
to four hundred gallons Of molasses daily,
and it will be AS good and more reliable
about not souring than the unboiled Louisiana
molasses, and quite as well tasted as the
boiled It viii not be too late for three
weeks to come to plant the cane, and think
there is no doubt but one of these mills viii
be put up in this vicinity this fall and
would advise every body to adopt it for if
you End it impracticable to grind, it VIII
make the finest feed for hogs you can raise

The following items were telegraphed
from New York on the evening of the 18th
ult:
It is stated that the Congressional Demo-
cratic Executive Committee has unanimously
passed resolutions requesting the Demo-
cratic National Committee to reconsider the
previous action, and issue call for the
Presidential Nominating Committee to meet
in New Ork early IN June.
1t Is probable that Democratic Caucus of
all the Democratic members will shortly be
called, for the purpose of making the same
request
At soldiers meeting, held at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel last night, it was agreed to
support General Hancock as their candidate
for the President, and - urge the calling Of
a Democratic Soldiers and Sailors Conven-
ton.
The Herald Washington dispatch says
General Sch06eld desires the new Constitu-
ton of Virginia submitted to the votes Of
the people, to be voted on In separate parts
or sections, and thus enable them, if she
voters deem it proper, to reject the disfran
chising clause, to which General Schofeld
takes exception, and adopt such parts as
they may approve.

he was called to order, when Capt. Van
Anderson remarked that Judge Hunter was
a disgrace to the bench Judge Hunter i'm
mediately fined him SO, and ordered him 90
be imprisoned IN Jail ten days for contempt
of court. Captain Van Anderson wrote out
a check for the amount, but this the Judge
refused to accept, stating that only money
could be received in payment Of fines, init
mating that Capt. Van Anderson would not
be allowed to act further in the case before
the court until he was purged of the con-
tempt A writ of HdbedS corpus was sued
out before Judge Pierce, of tina Law court,
and granted. The application was ordered
for a hearing at three o clock yesterday after

shameful Fact Confessed.


The Springfield (1Iass,) RepaJlieaa, a
Radical p3per Of more than ordinary candor,
thus frahkly confegses that the President, If
convicted at all, VII be convicted, not be-
cause he is guilty, but because. the party
necessity requires it. Tt VIII only perjure a
few men, whose crime may add but one
more toa thousand
Many. Of the reports asd dispatches from
Washington throw doubt upon the result Of
the Senate's vote on the conviction of the
President. But our private adyices sustain
the Judgment we have aH-along expressed,
that conviction is inevitable, and will follow
not SO much from feeling Of the PTesi
dents technical guilt or Innocence on. this
or that charge, as from 5Ie feeling that it is
a necessity Of the political condition Of the
counwy, and earned liz its victim by his In
reference with the Legislative branch Of the
government and bis triling with tie public
peace. We are assured that no more than.
three Republican Senators are likely under
any circumstances, to vote for the President
These are Grimes, Of Iowa; Van Wrinkle, Of
West Nirginiai and Fowler, CT Tennessee.
The withdrawal Of these from the Republi-
can vote against the President still leaves
It several in. excess Of the number necessary
to a conviction. The crescent week win un-
doubtedly Witues the conclusion Of the whole
matter-the dep0sa of the President and
the institution of another ia his place.
Our Memphis neigbbors, the Appeal, ADa
Janeae and Ledger we are lad to see. are
striking bold Hoks for State Conuention
for the purpose Of selecting delegates to the
National Democratic Convention which is
to meet in New York on The 4th Of July
next This should have been done long
ago, but even at this late hour it would be a
shame upon the Democracy Of Tennessee
were they TO refuse their united efforts to
secures full delegation Of our best and most
able men. Is it right, is it fair, that Ten
neseeans should thrust their hands behind
them and refuse to put their shoulders to
the wheel? Tennessee is more than in
terested in the choice of Presidential can
didates. Can she expect others to do her
work There is an old and good saying
that reads thus, q if you want any thing done,
send; if you want it well done, go yourselE
A delegation, powerful in numbers as well
as in intellect, should be at the National
convention and make the voice of Tennessee
ring in the ears of the despots who uphold
and sustain such men as are now at the head
of affairs in this State With a clear expose,
at such place, of the sufTerings Of the PEG
pie of this State, at the hands of radicalism,
we could, if there is any hope on earth,
sweep the country of radicals and place
christians in position and hurl barbarians
into dens suited to their perverted tastes.

Mr.. Ashley, of Ohio, speaking to negroes

Congress; and when done, l expect to vote
for the first black man there as Speaker. -
Memphis Post.
1t is a notorious fact that Ashley is a no
torious radical, cunning, mean and unrelia-
BILE, and when he said what is quoted above,
he knew that he was telling falsehood so
far as his voting for negro for speaker of
Congress is concerned. Ashley is emphati-
cally a dupeist, and does not fail to stoop to
any measure that would in the least mislead
the ignorant blacks and secure their votes.
lie was speaking to {" the negroes Of Charles
ton when he uttered the beastly language
attributed to him; had he have been in his
own State, Ohio, which gave 10000 majority
against negro equality, puppyism, skunk
ism, ETC., he never would have opened his
foul lips and asserted that he would vote for
a negro speaker of Congress. Such dogs as
Ashley know when to ,chne or bark.
