| dos't like to tell tales out of
sehool--am not a boy Of that sort
but when duty prompts, | must chic
on." Upon a consultation Of many
Of the best men in the country, Il, Of
course, oneof the twenty-fve,) It was
determined to save ourselves in view
Of a short cotton crop, by "heaging
Of" as sportsmen say. We thought
to manufacture a ter peaches and
apples might pay, 50 we ground the
peaches, waited a reasonable time,
we thought, for them to stand before
we distilled them. In due time we
went to stilling. Being thirsty, we
were prepared to like it, and thought
il would do. Filled a fve-gallon
demijon with the doublngs, and went
to work again. But horrible dictu I
We dad carelessly set the aforesaid
vessel in thesun, the heat from which,
70 our surprise, caused a fermentation,
a consequent explosion, and loves
labor was to that extent, lost-the
demijon with Il. Don't say anything
about it. We don't wish it to get
out-certainly don't wish the Con-
g~ressional Investigating Committee
to get hold Of il. We have been
im-peached, aud are satisfed-that
is, we lost the peaches. We think II
our friend, Capt. Wills, revenue col
lector, could be made acquainted with
the circumstances, he would refund
the tax on those five gallons, If not
upon our entire run Of elder juice, So
called-I suppose, on account Of the
pions character Of the men generally
engaged in II. Having failed to re-
alise any profit from that industry,
We are at 4 loss what to try next.
Like Micawber, we are waiting for
something to turn up to our advant-
age. As an offset tothe damage done
tile cotton crop, | am gratifed to be
able to report fine crops Of corn as
having been made in this portion Of
the -- territory ; | have forgot
ten the name of Il, if one has been
given since the State was obliterated.
Abundant crops Of peas, potatoes, etc,
are also on hand, 50 no fear Of being
starved out is entertainsd among Us
yet. 4
