Fruit and wheat CrOps-GeneraI Pros

Editors Union and American.
CU1LEoKA, TENN, April Is, 1869.-We
were visited here last night with a severe
frost and our fruit growers think all the
peaches killed and other fruit seriousl y
damaged. Some fears are entertained for the
earlier kinds of wheat. Our farmers are
busy planting corn and making prepare
lions for the cotton crop. The season is un-
usually!late andIhas been quiteu nfavorable
for farming interests. There are indica-
tions of prosperity in our section evinced
in building new houses, repairing old ones
improving farm Enclosures. Our mechanics
are all busy. Saw-mills constantly en-
ployed to furnish lumber, and Touring,
mills in process Of erection 10 turn our grain
crop into flour. Why cannot our people
manufacture all of their own -four, wagons,
plouehs, and in a word all their farming
utensils? And why may they not convert
our hides into leather, our cotton and
wool into yarns and cloth at home and
save to the country the expenses Of trans
portation and profit on our raw materials.
Now Mr.. Editors let the press continue
10 urge this matter until our men of
capital are convinced that investments in
manufacturing will pay better and more
Certainly than in shaving notes, speoulat-
ing in cotton or even investment in gov
eminent securities; and let the South, in
asmuch as New England has fastened
upon our country high protective tariff,
avail herself thereof, and build mp her
material prospsrity-lhen will she
have not only social, but also
oonon,ercial and mariana eventually uOli-
teal supremacy in this great iand of ours.

GRAND EXCURSION ABANDONED.

The Union Pacific and Central Pacific
Railroads have abandoned the proposition
for grand excursion from the Missouri
river to San Francisco, during the present
summer, over their respective roads.
They say they have already furnished all
the congressman passes, and they may
inspect and excursion the roads as often
as they want to. The reason assigned
for this course is the difficulty of taking
from the rolling stock sufficient number
Of cars which are now employed in the
business interests of the companies, and
the utter impossibility Of getting toge-
Their, at convenient points, a sufficient
quantity of meat and drinks Of the pre-
scribed quality for the Congressional

A DITTEBENCE.-The Alexandria
Gazette, noticing a statement in regard
to Miss Van Lew, recently appointed
postmistress at Richmond, to the effect
that during the war she was recognized
enemy of the rebellion in the latter city,
yet she was not guarded or held in sur
Veillance, being female and non combat
ant, says
We can only say, then. that she was
fortunate in being within the bounds of
what then were the Confederate lines. IL
the case had been reversed, had she lived
in Baltimore or Alexandria, and been a
Southern woman, and furnished informa>
ton to the Confederate authorities, or pur-
sued the course she did in Richmond, her

would not have saved her. She would
certainly have been sent to the Old Capt.

THE SUEZ CANAL.
One of the Wonders Of the Age.
From the New York Herald.

The two great enterprises Of the age are
the Pacific Railroad and the Suez Canal, both
combined forming the line of travel that fair
ly girdles the globe. Each in its own way is
OF vast Importance to the commercial inter
ests OF the world, facilitating travel and open
ing up new lines Of communication between
the countries of the Orient and the Occilrnt
10 this Continent the Pacific Railroad is of
untold value, and not far in the coming years
will be shown the marvellous revolution it is
bound to effect. 1t will make the great
American desert blossom like the rose, and
over its track the dusky millions of China and
Japan will pour into the barren waste and
among the mineral treasures of the Rocky
Mountains, developing new sources Of vast
wealth and augmentinG the material great
ness of the country. In its influence upon
the future of the countries lying between
California and India, no one can calculate
the result; but it is easy to realize that the
restless spirit of American commercial enter
prise, brought nearer to these Oriental ma
tons, will have its effect in quickening into
life the torpid energies Of these people and
giving a new impulse and 4 new direction to
the channels and resources Of trade. The
Suez Canal is another of those great works
and triumphs of man that revolutiOnZe the
features of commercial communication over
the world 1t is an old, old enterprise, talked
of thousands of years ago, in the days Of the
Ptolomies and Sesostris. Its grand impor-
tance was recognized in those days, and, but
for the absence of that unity which NOWADAYS
prevails in the intercourse of those ancient
kingdoms whose interests might be affected
by the canal, its construction would, it is to
be presumed, been accomplished by the same
hands that lifted the mighty Pyramids from
the desert sands. From the time Of the Ptolo-
mics to our own the agitation of the project
of connecting the Mediterranean with the
Red Sea has never entirely ceased. TO the
uncomfortable energy and perseverance of
NJ. de Lesseps the world is certainly indebted
for this great achievement of engineering
skill. To this country it is Il successful ex-
ample to initiate in opening communication
between two greater seas and making new
road from Europe to the Indies. Finally, of
course, the Isthmus of Darien or Tehuante-
pee will be canalized and the ends Of the
