THE CROPS THIS YEAR.

The Agricultural Report for July,
states that, Notwithstanding the late
drought the prospect for the corn crop
is generally good. The most remarka-
BILE fact in connection with the corn
crop of the present year is the great in-
crease OF its average in the South, the
difference in number of acres between
the present and preceding year being
more than two millions aud Il half
The condition OF wheat rs shown in the
July returns, is above the average for
last year in all the states, except Ver-
mont, Connecticut, the CarOlinas,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Missi ssippi.
Texas, and Nebraska. The season has
been peculiarly favorable to the growth
and ripenng of this great bread crop in
all except some of the Southern States.
Returns from the cotton districts in
dictate every where reduction of the
acreage in that crop, with the exception
of Texas, which shows an increase of So
per cent. over last year, and Alabama,
where there appears to be no material
change in the figures.
Rye, oats, and barley promise abun-
dant crops; no serious drawbacks are
reported, and few complaints of bad
condition are received.
Potatoes, so exceptionally unproduct-
i've last year, are in unusually fine con-
ditlon, and the average is increased in
every State except Rhode Island.
Fruit is variable; apples and peaches
less promising than usual. Vermont,
New Jersey, Delaware, Mary land, Vir-
ginia, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, ILL
nois, Indiana, Kentucky. and West Vir-
ginia make worse record than other
States as to apples. Peaches will be
less abundant than apples, New Jersey
Maryland, and Delaware promising but
half crop, and Illinois and Michigan
showing considerable reduction. A
fair promise of grapes is indicated.
Tobacco covers as large an area as
usual IN Virginia, Kentucky, and Con-
necticur; somewhat less in Indiana, Hi
nois, and Missouri. Its condition is
good in Kentucky and Michigan; else
where little below an average.
Sorghum is generally doing we'll in
the West; not so well us usual in the
middle belt of Southern States.

THE PEABODY FUND.

The Peabody Southern Education
Fund is apparently being distributed to
the best advantage. Such is the assur-
ance OF its judicious employment that,
beside the large gifts OF books which
several publishing firms have made,
further donations of varying sums are
being made to it, so that the New Or
leans correspondent of The Mobile Svn-
day Times announces that in no long
time the fund will have become $1,000,
900. Already, he says, the schools are
getting as much real benefit as could
have been purchased by three or tour
millions in cash on any other system.
The plan has been to require each par
ish or township to make up two-thirds
the amount required for the support of
its schools, the agent permitting rent of
buildings and unpaid dues FROM poor
pupils to be reckoneG as cash, and the
trustees Of the Peabody fund, through
their general state agent, supplying the
remaining third.
We clip the above from stray news
paper which has fallen into our hands.
Are the statements correct? So far as
we know, the Fund and Peabody him.
self might as well be in tho moon for
ali the good the Fund is doing in this
section. Who has seen school on the
Fund plan! Who knows of schoo ]
which expects to be helped by the Fund:
Opposed as we are to free schools, we
want to see the whites educated as we'll
as the negroes, but not in the ssrae
school house or by the same schoolmas
tiers. We entreat our bretheren of the
Piedmont Press, from alexandria &c
Ly nchburg, to bestir themselves in
this matter. Zoo much time has been
lost already.

DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.

The Cincinnati Enquirer declares
THAI, upon the subjoined propositions,
"the Democracy are a complete unit. "
We hope it may prove so; and that they
will be distinctly and unequivocally en-
bodied in. the Declaration of Principles
adopted at New York. II they should
not be, the white men of the South will
have little concern in the result:
Il. This was intended to be. and
must always remain, a white mans
Government. None but white men
must vote or hold office.
-. Negro suffrage has been imposed
upon the States of the South by gross
and scandalous usurpation on the part
of the Federal Government, and it cam
not exist without continuance of that
Federal usurpation. The Democracy
will not allow that continuance, but
will leave the matter to be settled by
the white voters of every State, and by
no other people. 1t must be settled in
the Southern STATES, as it is settled in
TIE Northern, by the votes Of the whites
alone.
'S3 Every means ofCoercion upon the
white people, to force them to have ne
gro suffrage, will be forthwith stopped
and declared illegal, as soon as the Dem
ccrats are in power"

A SUSPICION.

When AARON BURR plotted treason,
he went to the then far West TO concoct
his schemes. Oflate, the Radical lead
ers have habit OF going close to the
Rocky Mountains every summer, there
to hatch,veLom, and to return laden
with new plans of oppression and ty-
ranny. WADE, CoLrAx and party were
out West last summer. WADE is there
agaIn-this summer. Gen. SHERMAN
was on the side of JOHNSON and the
South until he met his brother, the Sem
ator, on Western tour. Ills brother
promised him GRANTS place as General
in-Chief, and since then he has been
lost to us. Remembering these facts,
a suspicious person might infer that the
meeting of GRANT, SHERMAN and SHERI-
DAN on the borders of Kansas was not
accidental. We cannot help thinking
that the object of that meeting was not
g. concert measures to put down the In
dians, nor to restore Gen. GRANTS
health. We suspect something.

THE ROAD TO PEACE.

BLAIR's letter of acceptance closes
thus:
The nation will say the Constitution
must be restored and the will of the
PEOPLE again prevail. the appeal to
the peaceful ballot to attain this end is
not warts not revolution. They make
war and revolution who attempt to ar
rest this quiet mode Of putting aside
military dcspotism, and the usurpations
of a fragment of a Congress asserting
absolute power over that benign sys-
tenn of regulated liberty left us by our
fathers. This must be allowed to take
its course. This is the only road 20
peace. 1t will come with the election
OF the Democratic candidate, and not
with the election of that mailed warrior,
whose bayon are now at the Threats
OF eight millions of people in the South,
to compel them TO support him as a cam
didate for the Presidency, and to sub
init to the domination of an alien race
of Scni-balbarous men. No pcrversion
of truth or audacity of misrepresenta-
ton can exceed that winch halls this
candidate in arms as an angel Of peace.
| am, very respectfully, your most
Obcdiont servant,

GRANT ANXIOUS TO BE DICTATOR.

| A prominent officer of the Union ar
my, while driving with friend few
| days since, took occasion to eulogise
some of the characteristics of Grant,
| declaring that the American people
did not understand him, II saw" said
this officer, "a great deal of him during
the war, and Know all his strong and
| weak points," "But," asked one of the
party, "do you think he Is the right man
to elect President of the United States?"
To this the Union officer replied: "That
depends upon circumstances. If the
people desire military rule, Grant should
be elected; for, from my knowledge of
the man, l will stake my reputation on
the prediction, that if he is elected he
will proclaim himself Dictator within
twelve months after he is sworn into Of
tice!" This is the opinion of a U nion
soldier who held close personal rela-
tions with Grant during the greater
portion of the recent war.
The above confirms the opinions held
by this paper. The attempt to get
baSk to the constitution is worth the
effoSt, which we are about to make with
SEYMOUR and BLAIR as our leaders, but
if the american people desire unity
their only chance is in empire. For
other aud better reasons, the empire is
desirable. In no other way can stop
be put to the dwelling down process.

IHE RESULT OF THE STRIKE.-Tne
strike among the colored stevedores
has ceased to be sensation, and in
fact it has virtually come to an end
by q compromise, but it has had one
beneficial and, we hope, permanent
result, which was not calculated upon
by the insubordinate negroes. 1t
has brought white labor into compe-
tition with negro labor in this pnr-
ticular line of work, and the compe-
tition once begun, the blackamoors
are likely to be pushed out of the
way. The gang of white men, some
twenty-five in number, that We men
toned as ut work on the ship Mis-
souri, some days ago, still find en-
ployment in the same line, and do
their duty well. Another gang is,
we learn, about to be formed by two
young men we'll acquainted in the
city, who are mechanics, out of EN-.
ployment, and have been employed
recently in the phosphate diggings
on tho Ashepoo. They say that they
have already seventy men enrolled,
to form sort of cooperative labor
society, to make contracts for load
ing vessels and share the profits be-
tween them. This is the right spirit,
and if the society is properly organ
izod, and man elected to act as boss
steycdorc, who understands the bust
ness, they will, no doubt, get en-
ployment and make money.
