Is chuckling at theidea that our Erie Canal ID

alliance" (between the West and the South,

Southern contemporary Il little too fast. These
Chicago papers are only jealous because New
York is not disposed to encourage the job Of
the Washington lobby, whereby the national
Treasury shall be robbed Of twelve million
dollars in aid Of that stupendous humbug, the
Niagara ship canal. As soon as the railway
muddles now prevailing on the main routes
between the West and New York are settled
Chicago win nnd an ample outlet at this point

WHEAT PROSPECTS.

The Banner says that from all parts
of Middle Tennessee we hear most
encouraging accounts of the wheat
crop. Should the season continue as
favorable as since the beginning OF
the year, the largest yield in the his
tory of the State may be confidently
anticipated. The area of land plan
ted in this cereal is much more eX-
tensive than ever before, while unu-
sual care was taken in the prepare.
ton of the soil.-MurfreeSb0ro Ne,Os.
The prospect for a good wheat crop
in East Tennessee is fine. The wea-
ther during the winter has been OF
such mild character that wheat has
not been frozen out, as is so often the
case here, caused by frequent freezes
and thaws.-I6id.
We learn that the wheat crop in
Coffee county is very promising, and
a bountiful harvest is anticipated,
and that the prospect for fine crop
of fruit is eXcellent.-I6id.
I have conversed with many farm
ers from different parts of the State
recently anu from ull accounts llle
prospects for fine crop of wheat
was never more promising. A short
time since | had occasion to pass
through portions of Woodford and
Fayette, and my observations fully
confirmed the general report. In ev-
cry field the stand was perfect, and
the only complaint heard was that
in some places the grain had come up
too thick. Unless, contrary to all
expectation, verycold weather should
ensue Immediately after rains, the
grain crop next summer will proba-
bly, be heavier than 10 has been for
years before FRANKFORT Correspond
eat COarier-JOITndl
a correspondent of the Richmond
VA Wing, writing from Roanoke,
says:
The wheat crop crop looks remar-
kably well, having more the appear
ance of April than February growth,
and what is still more encouraging
there was very large crop sowed last
fall, and unless we have to atone in
March for the delightful weather we
are now having, harvest will be at
least four weeks earlier than usual in
this climate, and we may reasonably
expect "A fine crop.

EXIT nnowNLow.

q resignation Of VIM. q. Brown
low took effect yesterday, and he is
no longer Governor of Tennessee
lie is succeeded by Mr.. Senter, who
assumes the gubernatorial chair by
virtue of his Office as Speaker of the
Senate. Whether or not the change
will be for the better, we are yet una
bic even to conjecture, but console
ourselves with the reelection that it
can not make matters much worse
The simple announcement that
Brownlow has resigned the Office OF
Governor which he has so long usurp-
cd and disgraced, will cause thrill
Of joy throughoutthe entire State, for
Ire has rendered himself as unpopular
With the liberal men of his
own party as he was odious to the
Conservatives in the beginning of his
gubernatorial career.
1t will not be denied by the Radi-
Gals now, when thrift may no longer
follow fawning," that Brownlow was
altogetherunftf for Imposition which
lie lreld so long in opposition to the
viii of the people of the State. Err
ratio, passionate, vindictive, unrea-
sonable and full Of malice, he has al
lowed no opportunity for avenging
his fancied wrongs to pass unimprov-
ed. Laws which received his official
sanction and were executed by officers
of his own choice ana appointment,
have been disregarded and set aside
whenever and wherever they did not
work to suit his peculiar whims and
fancies. .-
The chosen representatives of the
few who are enfranchised have been
denied the privilege of exercising the
functions of their offices, simply be-
cause they wcre not exactly of his
household of faith. Criminals have
been pardoned to such an extent that
many of the vilest cut-Jhroats and
robbers who infest the State, boosted
of their power to commit crime and
20 unwhipt Of justice as long as he
could exercise the pardoning power.
The militia have been CHARTERED upon
quiet and unoilending citizens, Great
ing discord, discomfort, and even
hloodshed, where peace and harmony
would have otherwise prevailed, and
m already overburdcned people are
taxed TO support n standing army in
time Of profound peace-an army,
too, that would be as Intellectual if
protection was really the object, as
the laws which he only pretended to
enforce.
These are only few Of the many
official acts OF the retiring Governor
which will render his name odious to
thcpcoplo ofTcnnesscc for generations
TO come.
Let us at least hope that the incom-
ing man will rise to the dignity of the
station and make an attempt to re-
store law, order and prosperity to a
distracted, impoverished and down
trOddCn comm )nwealth.

ger Over His Head ana Murirsur@
VI i'm fnaudibie Accents. n
Y The.following story,may be, rather
old to some of our readers, but il is
Itoogood to be keptfrom the public,s
About two thousand years ago,
Squire b., of one of the rural oolinl
tiesin Kentucky, took the street cars
and came down to. this city,. for the
purpose of selIihghis tobacco, and wit
Messing the miraculous workings Of
the improved Ramage press just
erected in the Daily Thunderer office.
The, Squire, after sloshing around
town generally, and after having
partaken of the last "buisquet''
which his estimable old lady had
crammed into his breeches pockets,
struck out for the Henry House in
search of o nights lodging. Arriv-
ing at the hotel, he inquired of the
night clerk on duty if he could ac-
commodate him with bed. q
The clerk, after searching his "bed
book, y and otherwise endeavoring to
accommodate our rural friend, in
formed him that there was but one
vacant bed in the house, and that was
in double room, the other bed being
occupied by gentleman from Yer
mont, who had just arrived, and who
had for sale patent for manufacture
ing tobacco casks. The Squire, hay
ing no objection to company, was
shown up to the room, and desiring
to make an early acquaintance. with
his roommate, he introduced himself
by asking him II he was not from
the yankee country''-when, to his
utter establishment, and Ito use his
own language,) the Yankee raised
himself up in bed, his 1axen hair
falling back over his shoulders, his
white whiskers standing straight out,
his eyes almost bursting from theiI
sockets, and holding in his right
hand sharp-pointed dagger, drip.
ping with blood he murmured, in a
coarse, husky, inaudible voice: p
"How did you know that / was a
Yankee ?"
The Squire at once broke for the
office in double-quick time, and re-
peated to the clerk what he had seen
and heard, adding that "the internal
cuss continued to flourish his dagger
over his head and murniur in inaudi-
BILE tones.r
The clerk, who was not To-be scared
at little things, at once went up to
the room, and to his utter astonish-
ment, found that the room had not
been occupied by the Vermonter at
all, and upon questioning old Kahn
tuck, he soon satisfied himself that
the old gent had partaken too freely
of the "divlne afllatus," and what he
had stated as having haphened in
the room, was caused by his imagi-
native powers having been wrought
up to the highest pitch in conse-
quence of his extreme hatred and
fear of any one hailing from Yankee
land. ~ --.rr I +.
When the Vermonter came to the
hotel, and was told by the clerk OF
what had happened, he enjoyed the
joke hugely, and would not be salts
fled until he was introduced in due
form, by the clerk, TO our rural friend
a mutual understanding sprung up
between them, and many glass OF
|"Uncle Jacks" best was used by the
two recently made friends. Y.
