OLD FASHIONED WHEAT Crops. The
farmers in this section, who are now in the
height of wheat threshing, report some very
large yields A few farmers in Bergen and
Byron have raised crops that average forty
bushels per acre, and a large number in
Genesee and the western part of Monroe
have realized thirty five bushels per acre.
The largest yields from selected fields that
we have heard of are five hundred and flfty-
two bushels from twelve acres, raised by
Ed. Emmens, Of Riga, and two hundred and
four bushels from four and one-eighth acres,
raised by Pitt Squires, Of Chill. In quaint
ty per acre the Genesee wheat section is re-
turning to its old standard but it is doubt
full whether it will do so in point of quality.

The NEEDLE GUN.-Two new improve
ments in the famous needle gun (zundnaedel
gewehr, it is stated, have recently been sub
mitted to the Prussian War Office for ap-
proval. One, which is the invention of
Lieutenant Random, gets rid Of two move
ments in loading, and increases the rapidity
of fire about twenty-five per cent. The
other, which is due to country gentleman
named Borst, also gets rid of some of the
movements, and nearly doubles the rapidity
of fire, raising it to fourteen shots per min
ute. The latter invention, it is stated,
moreoyerills up the hollow chamber behind
the charge, diminishes the escape of gas and
increases the force of the explosion.

Butler is making speeches, partly ex-
planatory Of his reasons for leaving the
Democratic party He does not mention
love of plumber as one of them. He con-
fesses, however, that he took three millions
Of dollars from New Orleans, but gives no
account of the silver ware. Referring to
his votes for Jefferson Davis in the Char
lesion Convention, he says that if such a
man had been elected there would have
been no war. This is about the only truth
that we have known Butler to utter since
he went into the contraband business. --Met.

Total vote, BIT. A majority is 1859.
On the part of Seymour we may spare the
whole vote of the States in rebellion, and
give them all to Grant, and still elect Sey-
mour by a majority in the Electoral College.
Excluding the three States ''not counted"
in the above table, the total vote will be 294,
of which 148 will be necessary to a choice,
so that on Mr.. Mars estimate Seymour and
Blair will be elected, with fifty electoral
votes to spare. 1t may seem premature. at
present, to indulge in definite speculaticns
as to the votes of particular States. but if
even the recent result in Maine be taken as
an indication of the Democratic gain in the
States he claims for the Democratic candi-
dates, the percentage gained will carry most,
if not all, Of them; and the tendency Of
popular opinion in this direction is too clear
to be mistaken.

FEARFUL R1oT IN GEORGIA. fearful
riot occurred near Camilla, the county seat
of Mitchell Co. Georgia, on Saturday last.
The telegraph furnished the following par
ticulars:
"Pierce, Radical nominee for Congress,
and Murphy, ex-Bureau agent, with about
two hundred negroes armed and equipped,
started on Friday for Camilla with three
weeks provisions and boxes containing new
arms and requirements, the intention be-
ing to overawe the citizens and kill the lead
ing Democrats Of the town and its vicinity
Before starting friendly negro exposed the
plan and negro courier was dispatched to
Camilla to inform the citizens of what was
going on. A deputation of three prominent
citizens met the mob at China church, five
miles from the town, and the Governors pro-
clamation forbidding armed organizations
and directing their disarming was read to
them. To this, however, the mob paid no
attention, and determined to march on the
town and kill such as they chose. Two
more deputations met them and remonstra-
ted, entreating the negroes to come into the
town without arms and they should not be
molested but their efforts were fruitless.
The mob marched into town with banners
flying and drums beating, numbering nearly
400, numbers having Joined them on the
route. The mob halted and clamored for
the blood of a man named Johns. Johns,
in company with DR.. Tivetty, presented
himself. when hundred guns were level
led at them. The former, being intoxi
Gated, fired on them, and the riot commen-
ced, the mob firing at every one they could
see. Citizens, white and black, rallied,
gathering about fifty stand of arms, and Wig
orously attacking the mob, drove them back
in hasty retreat, which spread into panic.
The negroes were pursued five miles, losing
thirty-five killed, and many wounded. The
total loss, as far as ascertained. is from
seventy-fve to one hundred.
Owing to the panic among the mob only
five whites were severely wounded
The colored citizens Of the town are report
ed to have rallied promptly with the whites
in defeating the mob. The stores and
munitions, including three weeks provisions
and boxes of arms. were captured.
At last accounts Camilla was quiet.

THE WESTERN Conn CRop.-The Cincin

The WESTERN Conn CRop.-The Cincin-
natl Price Current Of Wednesday says:
The corn crop is generally represented
very good, and has completed its growth in
all good corn land in the valleys of Ohio
and Mississippi. A correspondent at Chilli
eothe, Ohio, reports the crop in the Scioto
Valley the best and largest ever raised there,
and pretty nearly maturcd. Advice from
Kansas reports the corn crop in that State
large, beyond precedent, and the accounts
from Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois are all ia
vorable. In Kentucky, the corn is now
fully ripe, and unusually good, so that it
may safely be conceded that the year 1868
has produced the largest corn crop ever
produced in the country, and it is not prob
able now that any contingency will arise to
seriously injure it before it has fully ma
tured.

DISCOVERIES ON THE PoToMAc. An ex-
plorer along the banks Of the Potomac had
his attention attracted few days ago to a
spot near Marlboro Point, where the Ac-
cocheek empties, and examination proved the
spot to have been used as place for inter-
ment.
The size Of the bones of the bodies and of
the skulls at first led the explorer to con-
clude that he had fallen upon graveyard of
buried giants, and it was only after the dis
covery Of remains Of moccasins, several ham
mered pieces Of copper, and large quantities
Of beads, believed to have been made from
bones, that his opinion was changed to what
is doubtless the fact, that it was used hun
dreds of years ago as the burial place for a
tribe of Indians giant-like in stature.
There is large fssure in the hill, some
ten feet up The waters have gradually
washed away the earth until this is visible,
and large Quantities Of beads Of bone have
been found at the foot of the hill, which is
washed by the creek. A further explora-
ton is to be made.-Va. Herald

September 1Sth.-Returns from 406 towns

Pillsbury, democrat, 4S, S47-majority for
Chamberlain 20,317. The towns to be
heard from gave last year. Chamberlain
4,237, Pillsbury 4,lS0. Full returns, in
Guiding those from these towns, with their
relative increase of vote added, will give
Chamberlain a total majority of 20, 4O4.-
Official returns, which will be published
next week, will not vary these figures to any
appreciate extent.
Chamberlain's majority over Pillsbury in
1866 was 1861. Thus it will be seen
that the Republican majority has been re-
duced by 1888 votes.
If the Democrats gain elsewhere, in proper
ton to their gain in Maine, there is no
doubt of the election of Seymour and Blair.
