The Crops.

The official report of the Department
of Agriculture for August and Septem-
Der contains the following Statements
WHEAT.-The average yield per acre
of the whole country is scarcely equal to
that of 1867, but the Increased area
sown will secure an aggregate somewhat
larger than the product of that year.
INDIAN CoRN.-This crop is general
" in fine condition, and in most sec
tions in little danger from frost. In por-
tions of the, West, especially in parts of
Kansas and Nebraska, the drouth and
the grasshoppers have injured the crop /;
but the, season since june has been gen.
orally favorable, and, with the unprece-
dented increase in the area planted
100000 of acres, or about nine per

4 RADICAL HIDE TANNED.-A member
resents one of the New England States, I'M
dertook on Monday last, to enlighten the
people of Winchester, as to their duties at
the approaching election. The Times says
that during his speech he made very large
number of misstatcments, which the audience
took the liberty to correct in an emphatic
manner. After two hours harangue, this
Puritan mcddler wound up, when loud calls
we're made for Hon. ANDREW HUNTER, of
this town, who deliberately dissected the gen
tleman's arguments, and laid him completely
to the land. We give below the report of
the Times with reference to the skinning pro-
cess to which this impertinent Yankee was
subjected:
The lateness of the hour scarcely allowed
fair division of time with the Conservatives
but loud aud prolonged calls brought to the
stand the Hon. Andrew Hunter, of Jefferson,
in other days the old war~hOrse Of the Wing
party. We regret that we can only glance at
the remarks of Mr.. Hunter. Taking up the
educational subject treated by Mr.. Ella, he
gave a graphic sketch of TIE New England
system, which brought down the house in
thunders of applause. There are few men
who can use the scalpel Of sarcasm with such
dexterity as Mr.. H., and his speech carried
us back to the days when he and Henry
Bednger locked in friendly discussion. He
traced out this educational system Of New
England as the fountain head of all the isms
which have cursed the land ; which have en-
tered the pulpit. ana turned the religion of
the meek and lowly Jesus into political en-
giucry, and corrupted the morals OF the North
to such an appalling degree. The speaker
then charged Mr.. Ella with entire ignorance
of the Federal Constitution, and sustained
the charge by positive proof. lie then asked
him if he had read the new Constitution
which he had recommended for adoption.
Ella at first claimed to have read it, but when
pinned down to the point admitted that he
had merely glanced at it, and was ignorant of
its provisions Here Mr.. Hunter poured
hot shot into Radical impudcnce in coming
US missionaries amongst us to advise upon
subjects upon which they are profoundly ig>
norant, if indeed they could be profound i'll
any sense of the term. His cxcoriation was
unmcrcifu, and laid bare the malignity and
ignorance of our woud-be Instructors. Mr..
Hunter then took up the new Constitution,
and depicted with masters touch the hide
Gus dcforutics of that odous instrument.
lie concluded with strong appeal to Nir,
ginians to stand by their native State in these
days of darkness, and advised a solid vote,
white and black, against the niongrel mons
frosty. Mr.. Ella will never forget Andrew
Hunter, or the skinning received at his hands.
Mr.. Ella rejOined in few remarks, but the
pins had been Knocked from under him, and
his second speech was merely rehash of the
first.
Crane was then called for, by few negros;
but the audience did not think it was his put
aud declined to listen to him, dispensing with
cheers for Johnston, Hunter, etc.

TIE DRAMA-The Dramatic Association,
on Saturday evening last, repeated the enter
tainment which they gave with such success
the Saturday night previous. The Indictment
weather prevented many from attending, and
yet We understand the audience was quite
large. The performances gave decided salts
faction to all present. The Association will
give another performance on Monday night
next, when they will appear in a new piece.

FLORAL OFFEHING.-We are requested to
announce that meeting of the Ladies Of
Charlcstown and vicinity, will be held in the
Lecture Room of the Presbyterian Church,
on Saturday afternoon next, 3Oth instant, at
4 o'clock, for the purpose of perfecting ar
rangemcnts for the usual tribute of Flowers
to our gallant dead. 1t is hoped the meeting
will be attended by the Ladies generally, SO
that an efficient organization may be effected.
The grass should not be allowed to wither
over the graves of those who sealed their de-
votion to their country with their blood, in
struggle which they believed to be righteous
and just. Let their memories be cherished
by the living, and annually let this floral OBJ
lation he made for them -
awe rive them to those who nobly died
As tributes of holy love nd pride!
Then take them, oh ! gallant dead, who sleep,
The marble qua rds you, thctcars that We weep,
I'd long it stands these graves shall he ouIs,
And we'll wreathe them each year with beautiful
flowers -

DAMAGES AND DRowNING.-In conse-
quencc of the recent high waters, large
number of Canal-boats have been laid up at
Harper's Ferry and other points on the line,
being unable to proceed on account of break
ages in the canal at different places. Eight
or ten days ago, three mules attached to
Canal Boat and the driver were swept from
the tow path into the Canal and drowned
short distance above Hancock.

RoBDERIEs-Several robberies have been
committed at Harper's Ferry lately. a few
nights since Mr.. Burton's jewelry store was
entered by some thief or thieves, and various
articles taken, amounting to 5000 in value.
The safe in which most of his valuable goods
were stored was also tempered with, but they
only succeeded in forcing the outside door,
when, it is supposed they were frightened
away.
