The Peninsuls Crops.



The Denton linton of the 18th inst, says:-The
wheat crop in this county, SO far as our own oh.
servation extends and from what we can learn
from others, Is looking exceedingly well for this
season. We hafe seen number OF fields and In
all the wheat seems we'll set and of very healthy
color. The finest we have seen Is on the farm
lately occupied by Mr. George W. Taylor on the
Neck.
THE PEACHES.
We have the opinion of Mr.. John Cow, and
other close observers of the fruit trees and the
weather to the effect that the cold has not dam
aged the peaches. They think the buds were not
far enough advanced, and as this has been "dry
freeze, believe no great injury, If any Is done.
WORCESTER COUNTY.
The Snow Hill Messenge,> of the 9th, says of
the "cold snap," LAST week, that on Tuesday
night the wind rose higher than 1t was during the
day, with cold keen blast for sometime. Ice
was found thick as a quarter OF dollar. It Is
thought that the fruit is badly injured, though
the wind blew so hard. Our only hope Is that the
water was shaken from the swelling buds before
the ice formed. Te us, the destruction of our
fruit crop interferes with our luxury alone To
our neighbors In Delaware and our adjoining
counties II Is a matter of bread and butter We
sincerely hope that our fears will not be realized

A GOOD SIGN.

The New York Tribune is the lead
ing journal of Radicalism in the
United States. Mr.. GREELEY, its
editor-in-chief, is as near the throne
of the party, both inside and outside
of the administration, as any other
living man. He has talent, energy
and great information. He is steady
thinker and a hard worker. Hereto
fore he has accomplished his purposes
with wonderful success. These are
truths which cannot be denied, how
ever much we may condemn and des-
pise his theories and doctrines. For
this reason we regard the extract be-
low from the editorial columns OF the
Tribune of q late date as Ominous OF
good for the DISTINGUISHED in Tennessee.
When Gov. SENTER broke ground for
Acknowledgement we thought the day
of our deliverance was near at hand.
That kind of buoyaney which comes
over a crowd when good news is pro-
claimed came over our people, and all
faces wore o pleasant smile. Now
since the grand oracle of the party
speaks out on the question and takes
the same side, we feel that enfran-
chisement in Tennessee is almost an
accomplished fact. Stokes and his
East Tennessee followers may as well
wheel into line, and to save them
selves from an utter rOut, endeavor to
flank SENTIsR on this important mat
ter. HORACE GREELEY says "dis;
reimbursement" is near "its end" in
our State. That's enough:
We ask those who fayor-on whatever
pround-the continued prescription ano
Acknowledgement of those who partici.
pated an the late Southern rebellion, e
consider the aspect 0 presented bs
Tennessee. The facts are so instructive
that he must be blind and deaf who car
mistake their purport.
Tennessee was the last State to plung'
into the rebellion, and her Eastern dlvis
, ion never fully succumed to It. WheI

CHINESE LAROR-

There is but one solution out CT the
difficulty into which the South has
been precipitated by the indifference
and laziness of the negro. We must
employ Chinese immigrants. They
are quiet, orderly, gOOd-tempered, do
ellie, cheerful, willing workers; easily
controlled, and so intelligent, as a cor
respondent of the APPEAL has stated,
that they readily grasp the desires and
designs Of their employers without
repetition Of directions or instruc-
tiOns. They are thoroughly az
fda upon the best and most
careful methods OF cultivating rice,
cotton and sugar; and, wherever
employed, have been found to answer
every requirement of the most civil
lied household or the best managed
farm. They are just the men, these
Chinese, to take the place of the labor
made so unreliable by Radical inter-
ference and manipulation. AS to their
~heathenism that can be readily neu-
traIized. We anemploy if necessary
Senator BRowNLow, as a. missionary
among them, who, unless they are
impervious TO hell-fre, would be able
shortly to announce the destruction OF
all the loss sticks and idols, and ever
so many converts to Christianity. In
this way the Senator's powers Of per-
suasiOn, and his peculiar piety, might
be utilized and an opportunity be af
forded him Of making restitution foi
the unmixed evils he has inflicted
upon mis- people. But in any event,
we want she chinese, and hope there
will be a ful meeting Of the planters
of the surrounding country on
Wednesday next, the result of which
ought to be steps for the introduction
of ten thousand of them at once,

MLSSLSSLPPTRIVER RALROAD.
Our readers will see in the local col
umns of the APPEAL, to-day, a report
of the proceedings of the annual meet
ing of stockholders in the above road,
and the names of the Directors chosen
for the ensuing year. 1t is almost
needless to say that the most perfect
unanimity prevailedin this meeting,
and that the new Board received every
vote cast, amounting to over seue1l
thousand in all.
OF course, Mr.. MITCHELL was re-
elected President of the Board, his
course being endorsed by the undi-
vided sentiment of every county from
Memphis to the Kentucky line,
through which his successful railway
will soon be building. Perhaps the
public will discern in this unanimity
of action the secret of the success that
has attended the Mississippi River
Railroad. Mr. MITCHELL has been
either so wise in his selection of asso-
ciates, or so fortunate in the friend
ship of the counties, that the Board
has been, from the day of its organiza-
ton, a perfect unit in council and ac-
ton; and the fruits are manifest in
the most signal success that has at
tended any railroad of the South in
latter times.
Some few changes will be perceived,
from last years Board. These are vol
unfairly made. All friends of the en-
terprise will regret the retirement OF

ROPTE RESTGNS.

BoRIE, who, as Secretary of the
Navy, has been playing second eddie
to Admiral PORTER, has at last re-
signed, overcome by the combined
effects ofthe heat and the corruption Of
Washington. The latter was espe-
cially too strong for his weak nerves,
all unused as they were to any but the
most delightful and arist0cratic Of
sensations. He win return to the
Presidency of the League Club at
Philadelphia, there confront the eX-
ecrations of the poor workmen of
the n~avy-yard, whom he 50 badly
used, and leave To the late
Attorney General Of New Jer-
sey the duties of keeping the old
salts of the navy in good humOr and
proper ballast. This parsonage, a

anything like national reputation,

be so fortunate as TO secure the favor

mencement OF the disintegratiOn of

RECORDS.

ANF~NL LII
On Wednesday we published, by
request, the particulars of the organi-
cation, in New Orleans, Of a Southern
Historical Society, the prime object Of
which is the preservation of the re-
cords of the Confederate army. This
is a work which should appeal to
every one who has a pride in preserv-
ing and handing down to history the
truth of the late struggle. Many m
portant documents and papers are
being lost and destroyed, and many
important facts connected with the
late Government are dying day by
day With their p~ossessors. Every
man who can, should contribute to
the noble work of resciing from OBJ
Iivion these records of the great stflg-
ole. BY the testimony of those who
have survived the dread ordeal OF bat
tie and the vicissitudes Of war, the
dead are to be judged and the Lost
Cause " be lifted beyond calumny.
We suggest, then, that the Society OF
ex-Confederate soldiers recently or
ganized, take steps toward & move
ment that shall be in sympathy with
that of New Orleans, from which we
anticipate much Of profit and of inter
est to the people, and especially to the
soldiers of the South.

we may he permitted to
signify our endorsement of Mr..
SLAUGHTER as gentlemm well quail

lieve has as many advantages with
the people of Lauderdale, Haywood,
and Madison as any citizen who may
attempt to contest his claims upon
them. He is intelligent as to the
wants and wishes of his constituents;
is thoroughly imbued with the spirit
of the times, and is sound upon the
questions of Acknowledgement and pub
lie improvements. He is a man OF
the people, and can meet every re-
uuirement of existing laws. We hope
that all favoring Acknowledgement will
unite to elect Nh. SLAUGHTER.

the State was finally voted out of the
Union-June 8, ls61--after n attempt
had been ANONYMOUSLY defeated-though
the Middle and West gave six for seces-
sion to n against it, East Tennessee, on
a full poll, gave more than two votes TO

self on a loyal basis while the war was at
its hight. and of course DISTINGUISHED all
the rebels and fastened them down by a
stringent registry law. Thus they nave
remained; and 10 one can lawfully vote
or hold Office who ever favored the re-
bellion. A full third of the whites, win
all the blacks, are loyal to the core; and

in their hands. If dng State can MAINTAIN

FINANCIAL CONDITION or
THE STATE.


In further e%lucidatiOn of the inan-
ciaI condition of the State we publish
in another column two letters, the
carnations of Comptroller BLACK
BURNE and Secretary FLETCHER.
They fully confirm the statements al
ready made of the impending bank
ruptcy of the State. The work of the
rings" and lobbyists who, during
last winter, controlled and directed
the affairs of the State, is now coming
home to the people. Extravaganza
and r~ecklessness are producing their
legitimate fruits. The interest on the
state debt, due on the first Of July,
will not be paid. On Thursday next
the State will be dishonOred, with a
load of $40, GOO, GOO to carry and a an
nual deficit Of 81, 294, 49, OF to meet.
And worst of all there is no present
| HELM for it. There is no present
means of escape from the sOrest hui
initiation that has ever befallen Ten
nessee, if we except the humiliation
of surrender into the hands that have
worked this rain. We must just beai
it with what patience we can muster
until Acknowledgement is achieved.
With that an accomplished fact we
can induce retrenchment in the public
expenditures, force economy in all de
partments, distribute the burdens o.
taxation more equitably among al
classes, and, at the same time that We
answer all the demands Of OargrpWtf

gent and useful men in the State, IN
any position he may assume.
But the most notable change IS the
accession of Nj. WIN. b. GREENLkw
to Mr.. MIrcHELL's Board. Mr..

and his adhesion is the roads greatest
triumph.
