tongues that smote the vain and reckless
builders on the plains of Shinar, did not
surpass that which will vex the spirit and
waste the strength of Radicalism during
the coming ten days. In haste and dis

failure Of their grand political stroke,

seen anything Ia compare with the forth

and the indignation Of the discounted i'm
peachers blazes into such intolerance, and
the discontinue will next week be so fresh,
that all words exchanged between the abet-

words spoken in anger. lt is certain that
an Chicago Mr.. Trumbull and the rest will
not lack intrepid defenders. When men
are deeply moved they are likely 10 fall

THE RAIN AND TuECROPs.
We copy the following paragraphs from

We copy the following paragraphs from
our Tennessee exchanges:
The rainy spell still continues in this
county. Farmers don't get into the field
with their plows before shower drives
them back. The grass il getting great
Roadway, and they will hardly be able to
catch up in several weeks. We understand
that oats are beginning TO suffer with rust,
in consequence Of the rain.-LcJan0n Her
old and Register, Df-y 16
The rain has worked serious injury to
the crops in this county. The wheat crop
has suffered severely from the long contin-
ued rains. Planters fear that they will
not have more than half yield Of wheat,
though up to few weeks past The pros
pect was never more flattering. Corn is
looking wcll-but cotton seems to be in
rather a sickly condition, from 80 much
rain.-CoringioH Record, Nay Is.
RATNs.-For the past week we have.had
again a superabundance Of rain, and our
farmers are naturally in something Of a
responding condition. Much Of their
planting remains yet undOne, and owing to
the great amount Of water which has fallen
the bottom lands will be for some time too
wet to work Even the corn which was
planted in due time, is now suffering for
the want Of cultivation, which owing to the
rains it can not get.-Haatiagdon Vest
Teancssean, Nay Ii.
CRoPs.-Owing to the excessive rains,
our farmers are getting into some trouble.
Corn looks well where fields are properly
drained by bitches. Il needs blowing and
sunshine. Wheat Is in bloom and prom
ises a heavy crop, unless the cold rains
bring on rust. II is generally remarked, in
the country, that there il the best stand
Of cotton seen for years. The young plants
look green and ilourishing, bat need work
and warm weather. Fruit Of all kinds
seem TO be doing we'll enough. Oats, rye,
clover and all kinds Of grass, look remark
ably we'll. -.BrowasuiHs Bee, Boy ..

THE National HntelHgencer says it
was reported in Washington on the 18th
inst, and very generally credited, that
the Republican members of the Illinois
delegation in Congress had had meets
ing, and resolved that both the Chicago
Tribune and Mr.. Trumbull should be
read out Of the party, and incontinently
crushed. Whether the Radicals can af-
ford to drive from the Republican ranks
everybody who is opposed to impeach-
ment, we shall soon see. Leading Radi-
Gals in Congress, and leading Radical
newspapers, are demanding this step.
There is no doubt they will reduce the
party small enough if they carry out the
schemes they have in hand. On this
point the New York Post sharply re-
marks "The Independent lately read
Judge Chase out ofthe Republican party;
the Tribune now turns ont Trumbull,
Grimes, Fessenden and Henderson. The
time has been that, when the brains were

THE DAY OF FINAL JUDGMENT
pOGTIanNEn

We have no need to cite particular
attention 10 the great feature Of the
Washington news. From one end Of the
country to the other, it is known. But
the President is not acquitted yet The
eonspirators have Withdrawn until the
2Gth inst, TUESDAY Teek) II they had
dared to call the vote yesterday, he would
have been acquitted; and in strict legal
sense, is now. As the Chief Justice pro-
perly ruled, adjournment was inadmissi-
bic, after the court commenced to pro-
nounce its verdict, and he might proper
ly, perhaps, have declared the court disr
solved, and the remainder Of the articles
dismissed. As it is, however, we are to
have another week Of speculation and
prophecy.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati

speech in Louisville, on the 18th
inst, before large audience, and de-
elared himself unq1alifiedly for Gen.
eral GRANT, as the man who did
more than any one living to put down
the rebellion, and who will carry
every Northern State, and restore
peace and prosperity to the whole
country. He avowed he would stand
by, in general, what Congress has
done, as done, aud not to be undone.
lie insisted there was no constitutions
al or legal power in the Executive or
Judicial Department to overthrow
the Southern State Governments
which Congress has recognized as
Legitimate; that any attempt of the
BLAIR party to overthrow them
would be illegal. and could be sue
cessful only through successful
revolution, oVerthrowing the Consti-
tuition itself; that the BLAIR pro-
gramme, if attempted to be executed.
will be resisted, and will involve the
country in another terrible war. That
BLAIRtis the most dangerous man
alive in this country, and the peace of
this country demands his party's

Mr.. JEUP, on the night of the 22d

Carl Sehurz in Indiana, and the reply
will be a complete refutation of the
arguments of the German Radical
State Sentinel.
Mr.. JEUP attempted to do that
thing in this city soon after General
SoHURz spoke here. and when his
speech was fresh in the minds of the
people. JEUP made such a pitiable
failure, that many of his own partisans
left Disguised long before he had
finished his remarks. JEUP is as vain
as peacock, but with far less reason.
When the Democracy trot out such a
specimen to reply to Gen. SCHURz, il
is clear Indication that they are bad

their cause generally is in hopeless:

Your letter is received to-day in
closing slip from the Daily Sentinel
of your city, containing a copy of the
correspondence between George G..
Harding and DR.. w. B. Fletcher,
dated September, IL, 1868, In which
DR.. Fletcher states that he was a
prisoner under me at Huntersville,
Pocahontas County, Virginia, in 1861,
where General Lee left me in COM

This statement of DR.. Fletcher, SO
far as it relates to me, is fabrication
and falsehood. l was Governor OF
Georgia from November, 1857, until

in my life; never held a command
under General Lee in Virginia, as
Colonel or otherwise, aud never was
upon the soil of that State from the
time that Fort Sumter was fred on

The fact that I held no such com.

gla. Very respectfully yours,

sippian: s. igs1 ,fka1Gz 70
m Southern man by birth, edu-
cation and feeling, and wish only the
peace, quiet and prosperity Of my
country, and as such feel no hesitancy
in saying that the election of Grant
and Colfax can alone give us these;
while the election of Seymour and
Blair will bring greater discord and
a more unsettled state of affairs with
us than now exists. With Grant and
Colfax elected, our people will cease
to follow the behests of our wild poll
ticians, and will realize that it is wise
to accept the situation which they
will cheerfully do, and our peace and
prosperity will certainly follow.
