We have always objected to the use
of machinery Of any sort to take up
large stumps in ordinary arableland, that
would take up inevitably a large ,qfuaa-
tity of earth with each, and leave q
hole almost as Objectionable as the
stumps; and, however, that after the
stumps- were out there was trouble IN
disposing Of them.
The following suggestions which we
take from out neighbol, the Baltimore
Weekly Leadc1., may be quite praetica-
bic, while they are not liable to the
same objections. They arc at least
worthy of trial:

Ashort distance from thisc there
has long resided an old gentleman of
most estimable character and more
than ordinary religious feeling. On
numerous occasions his singular pre-
science of events has startled his
friends and persons skeptical of what
their senses could not comprehend. =
Two weeks ago, this gentleman being
in his usual health, predicted APP
preaching earthquakes and disasters
of the most tremendous character,
and concluded his revelation by the
that they would know
him to he true prophet from this,
that he himself would certainly die
exactly at 4 o'clock on Thursday,
July 22d. Anxiously the friends
awaited the hour thus designated
thinking that it might be halluci-
nation that deception would cure,
they set the clock forward, but in
vain, for exactly Mt O'clock on last
Thursday, the prophet breathed his
last. The event has caused profound
sensation among n wide circle of peo-
pie i'm this section and many are in
painful apprehension of coming dis
asters. Another circumstance has
strengthened their fears. 1t seems
that Miss Caroline Godsey, the cham
pion sleepist who has scarcely been
awake for fourteen years and after
successful exhibitions in many places
died recently near Hickman, just pre-
vious TO her death made. similar pre-
dlctions of coming disasters and

of the Budd's Creek sufferers, was
arrested on Friday last for pocketing
u watch and 81 900 in money, which
Judge Caulkins, of New Orleans, had
placed in pillow on one of the
wrecked cars. The Identification of
the watch led to his arrest and the
recovery of $3.50 of the money, which
he had secreted on his person. Yes
terday he was presented In the City
Court, but the case was continued for
two days for the Commonwealth

How the Crops Look from Lynch.
burg to Macon.


From the Macon Journal and Messenger
From a gentleman living in this
city, who has just returned via
Lynchburg and Knoxville, we learn
the following concerning the crops in
that section. In Virginia the grain
crop just harvested shows an extra
ordinary yield - by far the largest
since the war; and in several coun-
ties the yield of wheat SURPRISES that
of any year previous or during the
war. The tobacco seen along the
railroad from Alexandria to Bristol,
Tennessee, looks finely and promises
well. The corn in this same section
looks equally good, and will produce
undoubtedly u large crop.
From Bristol to Knoxville, and
along the road to Cleveland and Dali
ton, owing to the drouth of the past
month, the wheat just thrashed out
has done so well, the berry being very
small, although the yield was rather
more than an average one. The
crop, also, from lack of rain, is hard
ly up to mark, but few good show
ers will doubtless relieve many minds,
rs far as small yield is concerned.
From Atlanta, down on the Macon
and Western Railroad, the cotton
looks beautifully-small but healthy
stand, well lowered out, and every
evidence of good yield. The corn,
although somewhat behind that in
Tennessee in size, still is without the
blistered and twisted appearance Of
the latter, and, without doubt will
show q splendid crop. aF .l.

prises now going on with the view
Of connecting the great commercial
centers in the East with the South
west by the easiest, shortest andmost
practicable routes thus talks of Ten
nesseeand Kentucky: f
Before I leave this railroad topic,
let me refer for one moment to the
present and future condition of that
part of the South in the Ohio Valley.
This consists mainly of these States
of Kentucky Tennessee and North
Alabama. That region contain about
three millions Of people. They have
been kept back to no small degree by
Ignorance and the want of Northern
enterprise; but the scene is now rap-
idly changing. An Educational Con-
vention has actually been held at
Louisville, and since freedom is es-
teblished, schools for the blacks are
rising and the negroes beginning to
feel their right and their capacity to
work on their own account. Even
the Chinese Convention, at Memphis,
is good sign, forit shows, not that
the negroes don't work, but that they
are working for good prices and their
old masters want to get cheaper labor
il they can. If the negroes get good
prices they must do good work; and
thus we have indirect evidence that
the industry of that region is advanc-
ing. IL we suppose the bridges over
the Ohio to be completed, and the
Southern Railroad to be made, you
will find that whole country walked
up to new and extraordinary activity
and intelligence. No part of Ameri.
ca is capable of greater Improvement
Although there is, in Kentucky and
Tennessee, great deal of mountain.
GUS land in the eastern section, yet
these hills are filed with every vari
ETY. of minerals. East Tennessee,
abounds in the best of iron, coal, cop
per, zinc and lead. Eastern Ken
lucky also abounds in iron, coal anc
vast forests of timber. In the mids
of these great mineral deposits run
streams which will furnish an indefi
mite amount of water power. TIL,
Sandy, the Powell, the Clinch, tn,
| Holston, the Cumberland and tn,
Tennessee interesects iron beds, ant
zinc beds, and the country must be
come the seat ofgreat manufacturing
towns. Take this into view, and con
meet it with the corn lands and othe
lands, and suppose this country to b,
animated by intelligencea and supplied
with active capital, and what sea
of commerce and of the arts it will
become! Tennessee and Kentuck,
We're, fifty years ago, in advance 0
Ohio; bust Just behold the parallelisn
of freedom and slavery during half 4,
century Ohio is more populous
productive and wealthy by far thar
both Kentucky and Tennessee togeth
er. But ut last the spell is broken
the nightmare is passed away, an,
those oppressed by their own folly
will, in all human probability, rise L
the front rank ofgreat and prosperou
States. Hence these roads, whicl
penetrate them from the Ohio, thes
bridges over that noble river, will
be followed by streams of population
Hence, / say, there is in these ney
railroads fnaugurated commercial
revolution which, while it may harm
no existing currents of commerce
will certainly make new ones of grea
value and magnitude.

~, says. ... ..
| have delayed an answer to yours
that l might be able to write YOU
more satisfactorily in regard to the
crop prospects. The most marked
feature in regard to cotton is that 1t
Il considerably later than usual, and
perhaps three weeks later than last
year, Last year | had blooms the LIST
of June, this year on the 2lst. Now,
some planters say the cotton will
"catch up" You don't believe that,
neither do |. The consequence will
he the picking season will be that
much later. The election, fear, will
retard the picking amazingly. | tell
the negroes IL will be hard which is
the worst--the election or the worms.
So you see my opinion is that the
crop will be short and late. The cot
ton field looks very promising now:
and a late, full and favorable season
from this out will do wonders. Corn
has suffered for rain In some places,
but | think everybody will make
enough. Everything depends upon
the season hereafter. We are now
gathering fodder and entirely too
much rain.

termination to accept The nominal

to be quite heavy. 30
The champion base ball club of this
city, and of the State, "The. South

Chicago, st. Louis, and probably to
Cincinnati. They are gallant set
of "ball tosscrs,n but l am fearful,

The loose manner in which justice
Is administered in this city has been
exempliiied to you many times, but it

Within the memory of the Oldest
inhabitant no such drought has ever
visited our section as this. For forty
five or more days no rain has fallen
to wet the earth, and during the
whole time there have been blight
ming winds and scorching suns. The
grass is withered and dry, the gar
dens have ceased to yield their usual
products, and the corn is in every
stage of disability, from the stunted
dwarf to the faded and dried leaf
On lands which usually produce from
five 10 eight barrels of corn to the
acre, the tassel is making its appear
ance on stalks from two to four feet
high. Our most reliable farmers say
that future propitious seasons cannot
produce more than half crop on the
best cultivated fields. The oat is es-
timated at one-half its usual crop
Tobacco is small, sickly and very
much missing. Peas, potatoes, mel
