The Old Snap and the Crops.

The O,ld Snap and the Crops.
From every portion &c our District
we hear of the serious damage done
to the crops, especially cotton, By the
late heavy hail storm and the cold
wind that has followed it. Some Of
our farmers tell US that their entire
cotton crop is killed outright, others
say that at least half of theirs has
been killed, while the other half is
so badly damaged that It will not be
worth anything. If the cotton Drop
fails this year it will be the heaviest
blow that our farmers have felt since
the war, as great many of them have
spent their entire crop Of last year in
commercial manures. We sincerely
hope it may not be as bad as repre-.
sented, but fear it is too true.

T Our DEBT.-But, says the New
York Herald, to 60 back to the debt
statement, we find that the national
indebtedness has been increased dur
ing the last year-that is, from May
!, 1868, to May /, l869-nearly
twenty-nine millions of dollars, and
during the last two years over eight
millions. To get an idea of the reck-
less extravaganza and miserable finan.
cial management of the government
it must be understood that the debt
has been thus augmenting long after
the war closed and war expenses ceas-
ed, and at time when the revenues
brought in four to FIVE hundred mil.
lions year--nt time, in fact, when
the people have been taxed enormous
ly and to the utmost limit of forbear-
ance. If the debt has increased so
with such stupendous income, what
are we to expect, unless there be
radical change in the management Of
the Treasury, when the income is much
less?

SUICIDE AT MUsCAYINE.

Muscatine is alive with q sensation; no
less than profoundly mysterious suicide.
The Journal has the following account;
son the s:l5 train from Wilton, FRIDAY
evening, was q passenger who put up at the
National Hotel, in this city, and registered
as NJ. D. Tanueyhill, Alliance, Ohio Soon
afier Registering, be asked TO be shown TO
his room, which was done. He was not
seen until noon next day, when he was found
in bed. He complained of suffering WIN
an attack Of vertigo, to which. ne sara, ne
WAS subject, and declined Oh oiiers OF 1000
and assistance. saving be would make his
wants known if in nod of anything. In the
eveninr va are Informed, he called at Bah
ON & Lillibrjlge's grocery and in q rather
Wild mesaer, asked for il situation, Offering
IN ss~ wood or do anything Of the kind, but
cot succeeding in his mission soon left. At
the hotel, however, nothing was seen Of him
from noon until yesterday Sunday morn
ing, when, about daylight, Mrs. Hess heard
him open the door of his room and looking
from her apartment, on the same floor with
his, saw him cropping around apparently in
search Of the stairs. She asked him If he
wished to 70 down. He replied in the af.
Grmative, when she gave him directions that
enabled him to get down stairs.
Three or four hours after TauneyhiIl left
the hotel, Mr. Malen Brown was passing
near Richie Il Whites elevator when he dis
covered in the river i'll front of it, and
wedged between two pieces Of ice, the life
less form Of man. He fastened to nohfy
Marshal Scott and Coroner Beard and to
procure other assistance, and, with the AID
Of ropes the body was soon drawn out. On
examining the clothing letters and other
documents we're found that identified 1t as
that of the singular guest OF the National.
Among the letters was one from Hewitt d
kruse, Davenport, one from ). u. Garrison.
Mt. Pleasant, and one from X. ). Jones,
Baltimore. There was also certificate OF
admission to the Mt. Pleasant Iowa. bar,
showing that deceased had probably been
in good circumstances. But as clue to
the whole affair, twoounce vial, labeled
laudauum, from the drug store of &. +. Col.
cord, Wilton. was found in one OF the pockets,
with very little of the narcotic remaining.
Taking everything into consideration 1t
seems evident that Tanneyhill terminated
his life by means of the laudsnum. Wheth;
er the act WAS the result Of mental aberra
ton, insanity, poverty or some other cause
can, of course, only be conjectured.
The following is description of he un
fortunate man. Five feet six inches high,
heavy built, about City years old, SANDY
CON plexion, beard and moustache sprinked
with gray; had on black cloth coat and
pants, cashmere vest, knit flannel under,
shirt, muslin top shirt, wooden socks and
buffalo over shoes, black neck tie and red
bandana handkerchief.
A telegram from Mt. Pleasant, received by
the Coroner, says deceased had no relatives
there. The body has been kept to hear
from HIS friends, who probably live in Ohio
