From the TROY Press, Monday.
A few days since man giving his name as Parte
appeared in this city, and Sought Richard Ham
the Messrs. Starbuck, and informed him that rcla
tive Of his QHammOnd's) had died in England few
months ago. without issue, and had left will by
which all his property, amounting TO some $4,000,
had been Dequeathed to Hammond. The man Partie
said that he had been named in the Will as executor
had settled up the estate, and had Drought the pro-
pery, which consisted of silks, laces, and other vau
ables, to this country for Hammond. Hammond
was little shy at first, and gave the man careful
cross-eXamination relative to his cousin and his
ticular Partie said that he had left the goods at
Hart's Corners near New York; that the captain
OF the vessel on which he came over
resided near that place, and had induced
him to go up there with him, and that he
had left the goods there while he came to seek
gold, duties, and that when Hammond disposed of
the property he could pay him back that sum ana
reasonable compensation for his services. Ham,
mond, though very poor raised some money, and
started with Partie for Iarts Corners. They left
the Hudson River Railroad near New York, and
crossed the river for the Corners. Parte then in
formed Hammond that he (Partie) would go to the
Corners and have the goods sent over; that il would
cost about $50 to bring them, which Hammond might
pay him in advance Hammond did 80 and Partie
left Hammond waited two days, but no Parte or
goods appeared. He then went TO Hart's Corners
and found that the captain mentioned by Partie
lived there but was away from home, but he got no
trace of the goods. He came back to this city and
sought TO get lawyer TO go with him to New York
to examine the Custom House books, and II possible
do IL as well alone and save the expense. So Ham,
mOnd has gone to New York to ''seek his fortune. ="

much trouble for the paltry sum or fifty dollars

Despatch 10 The EpentnJ Telegraph
NASHVILLE, Oct. 2l.-No matter who may be
the successful aspirant for Senatorial honors, it
was pretty generally conceded last night that
Johnson's chances have gone glimmering
II is not likely that the result of to-day's bal
loting will differ very materially from that of
yesterday, although johnson may get few
more votes. II is freely asserted that he can
poll six more votes than he did yesterday, but
nobody can figure out the thirteen necessary to
his election. In view of the fact that Etheridge
can hardly secure enough votes to beat Johnson,
the opposition are puzzled on whom to concen-
trate. Judge Henry Cooper is most talked of
tonight He is comparatively young and fresh
to public life. If it were not that Ex-Governor
Neil s. Brown labors under Congressional dis
abilities, he would probably be elected. He is
mild and conciliatory, and not inclined to ex-
tremes in any direction.

Its Enormous Crops, Farm Products, aid
Wealth.
Tho Missouri Democrat speaking of the great crops
Of 1869, declares that they are not unprecedented,
and arc likely 20 be surpassed in coming seasons
Yet the yield is very large. The wheat crop OF
1869 is estimated at 2'lOOO,OOO bushels, the corn
crop at 1850 600 bushels that of oats at 0OOOD
bushels, and that of potatoes at 10000 600 bushels
To those must be added barley, the value of which
for the year Is estimated at s45,00O,O0O; hay, OF
which We have seen no Just estimate, and crop Of
wool estimated at 11T,000,000 pounds, besides
fruits, vegetables, butter, cheese and ami
mails. OF all these crops, the Northwest
produces by far the largest share. Recent
tables in the Financial Chronicle showed that while
the grain product Of Massachusetts, Is but two dollars
and twenty-five cents per capita, and that OF New
York only fifteen dollars per capita, the product OF
Iowa is seventytwo dollars for every person OF its
population and the average OF the Northwest is over
sixty dollars per CAPITA IT, in addition, we count the
products or the Southwest also, the cotton, rice,
tobacco. and hemp, the Democrat thinks the MssiS-
sipp valley produces each year agricultural crops in
value far greater than the whole national debt.
These only the agricultural products Of region
rich beyond all estimate in other wealth. The pro-
ducts Of the mines and OF the forests will vastly in
crease the aggregate.
Enormous as IS this estimate OF production, the
DemocVt urges that the States OF the mississippi
At estimated addition OF milton OF industrious
persons each year to the producing force 1t predicts
that the wheat crop will double itself within the
next decade that the corn crop, WnlCl has doubled
itself in two years, will more than double again. and
that the aggregate value OF farm products OF the
Southwest III 1880 will be worth far more than two
thousand millions.
The public policy is thus iutimated beyond eues-
ton. There must be more emigration. Let a
national steamship line be cStabsheS~at once, run
ming two vessels week, capable Of introducing n
thousand emiPrants every voyage; and let it be fol-
lowed up by further enterprises OF the same sort

and Egypt consign hther their excess of popula-
tion. Then the Great West will become the granary
