p@The GAINESVILLE Gazette says in
regard to crop prospects: Small grains
are earlier tran last year, and the promis>
ing appearance Of wheat, rye and oats, and
barley, is enough to make glad the heart
of the husbandman, and all others inter-
ested in the success OF the coming crop.
Corn, instead OF rottiDgin the ground as
some predicted it would, is nicely out of
the ground, and stands stalky and evenly
upon the ground, ready for the eultivator
as soon as the soil is dry enough to STIR
While ell grains promise to yield most
abundantly, wheat, which is most relied
upon for quick returns, covers the ground
beautifully, and it seems - if it must turn
out good crop without my more rain"

H8- A metropolitan journal is of the
opinion that our Irish fellow-citizens have
good cause for pride in the details of the
storming of Magdala, which have just been
received by mail. 1t seems that the brunt
of battle and hardship was borne on the
plains of Abyssinia, as it has also been
borne ON SO many other fields, by the Irish
soldiers of the queens army.

FAIR AND FESTIVAL Not the least
among the means of enjoyment that will be
offered to our people on our coming Ma
tional Holiday, will be fair and festival,
which viii be held under the auspices of
the ladies of St. James church. The la
dies of this parish have been industriously
at work for six months past, making prep
arations for the event, and no pains have
been spared to make it success in every
sense of the word. The proceeds will be
devoted to completing the parsonage. We
assure our readers that they cannot pass an
hour more pleasantly on the afternoon of
the Fourth, than in visiting the fair and
festival of the ladies of St. James church.
We believe the building on Buffalo street,
corner of Eighth, occupied by Mr. Con-
WAY, has been secured fer the occasion.

THE NoMINATIoN OF SHERMAN 70 BE
GENERAL BY BREvET-THE RADICAL
FLUsrERED.-W Washington, February 49,
The nomination of Lieutenant. General
Sherman to-day to be General by brevet
has created great stir in the Radical
camp. They claim that the Office of Gene
raj was created by special law, and dies
with the present incumbent, and there
fore it is not in the power of the President
to create tho brevet rank proposed to be
conferred on General Sherman. The Radi,
cal leaders profess to see a vast amount of
Executive cunning and public evil in the
movement. One holding a brevet rank
can be assigned to the duties of that rank.
/ confirmed, General Sherman may be as
signed TO any and all the duties which
Radical legislation has planned for General
Grant. Here's the rub. But the question
discussed among the anxious ones tonight
is, How can they dispose ofthe nomination.
General Sherman cannot be easily shelved,
aud any open rupture with him must be
avoided. They charge that Johnson studies
nothing but devitry, and that this cunning
is only eQuailed by his power for evil. 1t
is proposed that the Senate shall return
the nomination to the President with a
resolution informing him that he had no
authority to make it:-SpeciaL dispatch to

The TRIAL OF REV. Mr.. TYNG.-Prayer
is to be offered up in some of the revival
meetings this evening on behalf of the
Rev. Mr.. Tying, whose trial continues to
excite extraordinary interest. Mr.. TyDg's
friends say they are confident of his ac-
quittal. II the result should be different,
however, it is more than probable that he
will continue to preach wherever he is in
vited, and to whomsoever is DESTROYS of

law or the verdicts Of courts ecclesias.

of further trouble, and may lead, posi-
bly,, to serious breach in the Episcopal
Church.

Tying, am informed that number of

to an appeal to Bishop Potter, calling upon
him to enforce the canon law against Rev.
Mr.. Morrill,, of St. Adams chapel, in
Forty-seventh street, whose limitations Of
the Roman Catholic service there, they
say, is, as it has long been, scandal to
every loyal Episcopalian. They also de-
mand why Greek priest Father Aga

brate mass in Trinity chapel without re-
monstrance or rebuke, not long since. The

THE ALABAMA FRAUD.-We read that
large numbers of negroes have been fraudu-
len,ly voted, though not on the registration
lists; and that, not content with this, the
polls all over the State are to be re0pened.
Such is the tenor Of the dispatches from
Montgomery. 1t is also stated that the
President of the Convention proposes to
issue certificates of the ratification of the
new Constitution and Of the election of
candidates running under it."
In short, all goes well for the "recon-
Struction" swindle. There is power and
rillainy enough in the managers Of this
business in Alabama to put 1t through, no
matter what the actual vote, and there is
no occasion whatever for any pretence Of
extra reconstruction zeal in Congress.
