The scallawag is Southern born scoundrel, who

The senior Radical organ persists in its
statement that the negro, Waller Wilson,
lost his heel by shot from a Ku~Klux,
notwithstanding the denial of DIR. Me-
Fall, the Radical Representative from
Williamson, on the authority Of numer-
Gus citizens at Brentwood, the scene Of
the alleged shooting. The organ says
Walters heel was shot of, for It's editor
saw him with his own eyes, and
lie had no heel jinod on to his foot
In tho place where the heel ought b. be.
The heel Of Achilles, vulnerable ac>
cording to mythology, because it was the
handle by which his mother held him
when she dipped him in the waters of
the Styx, is known in story and Homeric
verse, and this Negroes heel hard and
horncy enough we should suppose to
turn bullet, is to be a feature in the
history of Tennessee while passing
through the purgatorial fires of Radical
rule.
We suggest that tho editor of the or
gan, to verify his statement, cause this
heel to be procured, and placed in the
ease with the Egyptian mummy in the
State library.

TIE WHEAT CROP.

The public mind, notwithstanding the ef-
forts Of travellers, statisticians and cores
pOndents 10 enlighten il, is badly bewild-
cred upon the subject of the wheat crop.
There is a universal wish that the crop
raised during the growing season may not
he blighted to any extent by the test of
the thresbing machine, but that in quality
and in quantity the result may tally exact
ly-or a little better, if possible-with the
high expectations indnlged before harvest.
Accounts in relation 10 these interesting
matters continue even TO this date TO be con-
tlicting, and the suspicion has already been
aroused that some influence is at work, adj
verse TO the many and favorable only to
the few.
There is better way Of arriving at cor
rect conclusions, or approximating facts
at the present moment, than observations
from a flying car or the guess theories o {
farmers afforded a short time since, and
that is to watch the receipts and examine
the specimens of shipments presented on
Change Monday last was good day
for the purpose. The supply on that day
tinclnding those Of Sunday vas fifty-five
thousand bushels-an amount, one would
think, ample to stand 50 a good index Of
the general crop, at least ct the section
from whence the receipts came. Practical
men examined the samples, and decided
that from one-fith TO sne-fouSth Of the sup
ply was r-ime and choice, and thai the
balance ranged from good to inferior.
These were all fall qualities, grown prin-
cipally south OF this point, with few lots,
probably from short distance north of it.
The question is Does this division of
quality conform to the usual average in that
respect Of the wheat crop, and il not, what
is the variance this season from former re-
suits 2 The quotations Of the day will
helm 10 ans var the question in some lirle
degree, but not satisfactorily. Prime and
choice grades fell Eve cents good to fair
ten cents common TO poor fifteen to TWEEN
ty cents, while lower qualities were unsala-
BILE. Ii il admitted that the supply of
tirst-class grain this year is equal TO that
Of last, and every one is convinced that the
late harvest was heavier than that Of its
predecessor; admissions which show, we
think, taken IN connection with the decline
on prices that the relative division in
quality OF the incoming crop exhibits
ialling-oH' of prime and choice grades.--
