Correspondent-Wha effect had Bout
wells letter on the canvass?
Stokes-It had 8 good effect. II tended
to consolidate the Republican party around
me, and it gave the Senter men to under.
stand that their false protestations of Re.
publicanism were understood in the proper
light by the administration. That was q
good letter of Boutwelis, and l was CRATE.

Correspondent-How do the Senter men

Stokes-They have commenced alread V
to harass and persecute the Union men.
The old Rebels are coming back from
Texas and other States, where they had
gone after, Tennessee was reconstructed.
They are organizing in bands of twenty

fashion, and committing all sorts of deg
relations. They used to be afraid Of the
militia, but you see they know the militia
is now in the hands Of their friends, and
they have nothing to fear from that quar-
ter. Let me give you an instance. There
was man 10 my neighborhood who was
captured by one of these bands. They
came to his friends and said that for 81, 600
he could be released. His friends raised
the money and be was set at liberty.
Correspondent-Were these men not
ordinary thieves banded together to extort
money out of people?
Stokes-No, si1: They are ex-Rebel
and they did not dare do this sort
of thing before Senter was elected.

Secretary RewlIns Getting Better

WASHINGTON, Aug. a. Secretary
Rswlins has recovered sufficiently this
morning TO Welt the War Department for
short time ast teE
From present appearances the forth
coming monthly installment will make a
very favorable showing, notwithstanding
the heavy payments of the government
during the current month, and it is now
thought the reduction will reach at least
two millions.
The New York bank note companies
have failed on their contract 10 print the
new currency, and now the government is
left IN the lurch, at time when the busi-
ness interests of the country are likely to
suffer most damage from the failure to fur
nish the needed supply Of the circulating
In consequence Of the absence of nearly
all the principal government officers there
is but very lille business being transacted
10 any of the executive departments.
The demand on the treasury for frac.
honai currency is so great that the de-
parlment commenced to-day to pay out the

stroying them as heretofore
The State Department is still without
official advices as 10 the result of the new
overtures made at Madrid for the cession
Of Cuba TO the Cubans, bat the latest in.
formation from Minister SiCkIes and Spe-
cial Agent Forbes shows that it is not true
that the proposition had been pefemptori-
ly rejected; but, on the contrary, that it
was sull under favorable advisement. No
official cable telegram having been re.
ceIVed, the recent newspaper dispatch that
the cession had been rejected is not credit
ed so fully as it was a few DAYS ago.
The accounts from the growing crops re-
ceived at the Agricultural Department are
of very favorable character. While all
the cotton States, except Georgia and |
Florida reported the condition of the cot
ton crop in July as considerably below |
the average of the crop of 1868 at the |
corresponding date, nearly all now report |
an improvement upon those estimates, and |
several OF the more important cotton re- |
glons report the condition az better than |
in August of last year, the weather having
been generally propitious and the injury
by the worm comparatively inconsidera- |
bic. The crop is estimated at nearly |
30000O0 of bales.

tribes in the vicinity are very quiet, and
industriOusly engaged in farming opera

NAL " r. CHEATHAM

We noticed in a late issue of the Nash
vile Banner, a thrust made at the gentle
man whose name heads this article. 1t
would seem by what the Banner says in
regard to Maj. Cheathsm that he was
not the peoples candidate for the position
of Floster at the late election. In the
issue of the Record, of July 2, there lie
call signed by forty of the most promi-
nent citizens of o1r county, which could
have as easily been signed By the 1882
voters who thought enough or this
gentleman's capacity as q statesman and
patriot to vote for him. We consider this
attack upon this gentleman as nothing but
trick to cripple his influence in the po-
sition he occupies. This will not win, Mr..
Banner. You had better pull at the other
end of the rope or the little Country ex.
changes" will hold you up in your proper
light. Mr.. Cheatham is native of
Robertson county. With his name is
associated some of her best blood. The
vote of her Sons on the 5th uIt., shows con-
clusively what we think Of him.-Sprino.

There were no new developments yester-
day regarding the matter in dispute be-
tween the general government and the
East Tennessee and Georgia and East
Tennessee and Virginia Railroad compa-
MES. The companies claim that they have
claims on the government more than su6i-
cient to Offset the debt owing by them to

that the order of the Secretary of War to
Col. Folsom to take charge as receiver oil

ministration 10 throw force of federal
soldiers on Tennessee, in order to provoke
conflict with the people, and thus, under
preiense Of an insurrection, declare martial
law, and place our State under the control
of military governor, who will be none
else than Gen. w. B. Stokes.
1t is needless for US 10 state that we dis

to cause needless alarm among a people

paradox, in the United States. He is a
true, progressive Republican. Probably
you remember the fact that he minated
in his message to the Legislature in 1867,
that the time would come when the fran

when it would be considered safe to trust
it in the hands of men who had b. IN

THE CROPS.

The peach crop in the fuscumbia, Ala,
region will prove almost snentiTe failure.
The first corn crop on the lower Rio
GFande is nov certain, and it will be 8
good one. The indications are highly
favorable for the second crop.
Southern louisiana has q staple all its
own, which may rival Yamoka in its i'm
pOrtsnee to that particular section. It is
the mespilus or Japan plum, described a.
being resplendent in a polished golden
coat, and captivating the palate with its
delicious acid flavor. The meapilus is now
abundant in the New Orleans market,
ana the New Orleans papers. expatiste on
its d-elciousness, its abundance and its
value, and cbuckle over the fact that it
is only raised within a radius Of 3 hum
bred miles, OF which New Orleans is the
center.
The Mississippi fruit crops have been
seriously Injured by recent frosts.
Louisiana estimates its sugar crop az
so, 0CO hhds,
A letter from Canaan, Jefferson coun-
ty, Indiana, says: "If no frost hinders,
We will have plenty of fruit, from pres
ent appearances. I have been over
nearly every farm ia cur township, and
ind the early wheat generally looks well,
6ut the lste sowing will not, without
great improvement, yield half a crop,
the most Of it being damaged by the late
vet weather and FROST"
The Franklin Williamson county,
ReVieU says: The wheat crop is very
promising, and the yield, without some
untOWaro circumstance, will be the
largest ia the history Of the county. The
peach crop Las been seriously damaged.
The farmers rarely ever Gems to town,
and are busy as bees in making good
crops"
The Upton Record says: The farm
ing interests Ia this county have been
materially retarded in consequence Of
continued wet esther during the past
four or five weeks. Since the first of
April we have not had three successive
days OF dry weather. Many farmers
have not yet planted any cotton, while
others who put setd in the ground have
had to plant over again. The wheat crop
is as good as was ever knoWn in the
country. Most farmers planted a large
crop OF wheat, ana the luxurisnt appear
aBce Of the fields now give promise of
abundant yield. In this respect We COM
mend the wisdom OF our farmers. The
motto Bow should be, Cereals first, cot
after W8rds.'n
