The R.ipv se.son.

The question Of the coming season,
whether q is to be wet or dry, is one of
the greatest importance to every one,
and particularly TO the farmer. Since
the ~droughts Of 1868 and 1864, which
spread disaster over the State, the sea-
sons have been good from an abundance
Of. rain during the winter and spring,
and in the past two years great pros
perity has been experienced In conse-
quence. From the successes Of the
past, great calculations have been made
for the present year. Thousands OF
people have been induced to make this
State their homo, and millions Of dollars
have been invested in agricultural en-
terprises as a consequences Of the great
productiveness Of the few years past.
Should now o season or two without, or
with insufficient rain follow, IL would
be a terrible blow at our budding great
ness, and far more severe II they should
come with all unprepsred. Every in-
terest Of business and prosperity Of this
coast depends upon the winter rains.
Without them neither the farm nor
mine can be made productive, and these
are the sources of all wealth In Cali
%fornia, and furnish the substance upon
which all people carry on business. 1t
is usual to expect rains early in Novem-
Der, and unless the first storms of win
ter OCCUR before the middle Of the
month, light rains need be expected for
the season. An experience and close
observation for a number Of years has
led to this belief. The middle of No
vember has passed, o change Of the moon
has lately occurred, aud in these changes
at this season Of the year are usually
changes Of the weather, but instead Of
rain we have q warm, dry wind from
the north Kthe regularity Of former
years gives any foundations for predic-
lions Of the future, we may predict an
exceedingly dry winter. Already We
feel the effects ofit. Farmers and wheat
spectators seem apprehensive of short
crops next year, therefore no movements
are made in grain, and the consequence
is an extreme striugency in the money
market. Few loans, even on the best
security, can be obtained, the answer
being that all the money is locked up in
wheat, which none are disposed to sell.
Notwithstanding the appeals of the CONT
msrcial papers to the farmers to bring
on their wheat, the readiness of ships to
carry 1t, and the fact Of great produc-
tion at the East and 10 Europe, the
grain comes forward slowly, and specu-
lators prefer to store It than to send it
to sea. From the published staAements
of the great crop here and elsewhere,
the price Of wheat has been kept very
How, and ills fortunate that but so few
of the farmers have been forced to sell.
When the character Of the season is
fully demonstrated aud realized abroad,
q higher rate will be easily obtained,
and then II movement will he made in
business circles, as the money lock will
be broken. A partial relief win be
given by the selling Of tho surplus grain
at full prices, but with n. serious
drought the lite md prosperity Of the
farming regions will be greatly affected,
and cannot be expected to equal what il
would have been under different circum-
stances.-Odkland News.

SPEAKING Of tho virulencs Of the
smallpox in San Francisco the Oakland
Nsps says:
"a score or more q week are carried
away, and many times that number are
attacked with the disease, who, il re-
covering, are for q lifetime marked
with its terrible effects. It is said that
vaccination, nor even once having the
malady il q sure preventive for it.
Those who have recovered from IL once
have been attacked again, and In one
initahce . death occurred from the sec
ond attack. A terrible cruelty, equiya-
lent almost to execution, attends those
who are discovered a. having the dis
ease. They are dragged OF to the pest
house unless they have powerful friends
to protect them, and then, says DR..
Rowell, two ont Of every Eve die. This
isa most horrible revelation, and dis
graceful both to the medical fraternity
and the authorities Of the city. Can
these do nothing to suppress the rava-
ges OF the deadly maladyf"

THE LITTLE WoMAN.-As O rule, the
little woman is brave. When the lynn
2hatic giant falls into a faint, or goes
into Mysteries, she storms, or bustles
about, or holds on like a game terrier,
according to the work in hand. She
will fly at any man who annoys her, and
bear herself as equal to tho biggest and
strongest fellow Of her acquaintance.
In general she does it all by sheer pluck
and is not notorious for subtlety os
craft. Had Delilah been a little woman
she would mover hayo taken the trouble
to shear Samson's locks. She would
have de6ed him, with all his strength
untouched on his head, and sho would
have overcome him, too. Judith and
Jael were both probably large women.
The work they went about demanded q
certain. strength of muscle and tough
ness Of sinew ; but who can say that
Jezebel was not q small, freckled, au-
burn-haired Lady Audley of her time,
full of the consecrated FIRE, the electric
force, the passionate recklessness Of her
type2 Regain and Goneril might have
been beautiful demons of the same pat
tern ; we have the example Of the Mar
chioness de Brinyillier as to what
amount of spiritsl dcviltry can exist
with the face and manner Of an angel
direct from heaven ; and perhaps Cor
della was q tall, dark-haired girl, with
q pair Of brown eyes and a long nose
sloping downward.

@While il would be our duty, with the
convictions we hold, 10 our country as we'll
as to our party, to use whatever power and
influence we possess in opposition to his

Just to say that, aside from his politics,
few men hold higher place in our esti-
nation than Mr.. Pendleton. A gentleman
by instinct and education, possessing abil-
tiles and requirements of a superior order,
he is qualified to fill with honor the high
est place 10 which his party can elevate
him. We speak from our own knowledge,
when we say that, throughout his eight
years term of service in Congress, during
most Of which time party feeling ran at
high tide, no man in that body commanded
a larger amount of personal respect and
good will from the Republican side of the
House than Mr.. Pendleton. We are glad
Of the increasing indications that he will
receive so hattering a compliment-merited
from his party by the fidelity with which
he has adhered to its prlnciples-as the
Presidential nomination at a time when
Democrats appreciate that only their best
man can stand any chance in the canvass
against General Grant"

a sIEGULAR STORM IN THE NOUN

From the Athens (Tenn.) Post, June 70.
A gentleman who lives not very far from
the North Carolina line, sends us an ac-
count of recent remarkable occurrence
among the mountains in that direction,
which, epitomized, amounts to about this
He SAYS he was out prospecting for gold.
The weather had been remarkably dry and
clear for several days. Even the morning
mists which usually drape the heaven-kiss-
ing hills at early dawn, had failed to APP
pear. About o'clock on the afternoon of
the 9th, his attention was attracted to two
dark and threatening clouds, which seemed
to be approaching each other from different
directions along the cone of the mountain,
accompanied by quick rushing sound.
When first noticed they we're apparently
some distance apart, but in an incredible
short space of time appeared to meet and
mingle in fierce elemental strife, envelop-
ing the whole upper tier Of the height
from sight, and casting heavy shadow
far down its rugged and depressed sides,
relieved every few seconds by loud and
livid electrical discharges. This lasted sew
eral minutes, up to which time nothing like
rain had fallen, when the clouds were APP

Of water began to pour down the mountain

trees and hurting tremendous masses OF

THoMPsoN's STATION, TENN, June IS,
l868.-For the past four days the people
of Chapel Hill, Marshall county, have
been 10 a considerable state Of excitement.
The facts Of the case, as learn from gen
tIeman who came from that place last
night, are On Sunday night last squad
of men came up with Dick GarTei, a
negro, close 10 Chapel Hill, when they
were fred upon by body of negroes, who
were concealed-the firing doing no damage
10 any. When the firing commenced the
white men retreated from the place, but
soon returned and fired into the negroes,
Wounding one and putting to route the
balance of the party. On the next morn
ing the said Dick Garrett, who claims to
be a school teacher, and who has for some
time past been stoning the white children
in that neighborhood, commenced 10 organ
ize the negroes, making threats that he
intended 10 kill all the whites. The citi-
zens then organized, and on yesterday
warrant was taken out for the arrest of the
disloyal negroes, fifty-sight in number, and
plac edin the hands Of the proper officer
foI execution. The officer summoned a
pos ee and started for the negroes, who, on
seeing them approach, started to run, going
in the direction Of the Bedford county line,
wheEs the pursuit ended.
The negroes were evidently making their
way 10 MurfreesbOro. The citizens expect
that the negroes will return and renew the
disturbance. The negro, Dick Garrett, Is
said to be a grand rascal. He told the ne
groes that he was told by the Secretary
Of State in Nashville, 10 organize the ne.
groes, and if the whites interfered to Kill
them ALL"
The Masonic fraternity intend to give
barbecue at Bethesda next Wednesday.
An Grafton will be delivered by the Rev.
Mr.. Hughes, of Many county; one Of your
Nashville bands has been engaged for the
occasion, and a fine time is anticipated.
The continued drought that we have had
is very injurious 10 our crops. Old farm
ers say that they never have seen the corn
crop look so bad. There cannot possibly
be a half Of a crop saved, while cotton and
everything else is suffering for the want OF
rain.
Every one is busy harvesting. The
wheat crop is not as good az was expected
before the harvest. TYPO.
