putting them at your disposal TO be
placed at your discretion among the
archives OF the State, or of some
historical society in the State. This
should be with the appreciation of
the War Department.
General Scott having received in
formation from Colonel Taylor of
the capture of Black Hawk and q few
of his chiefs, he detailed me with q
guard to go to Fort Crawford for
them and TO bring them to Fort Arm
strong. We took for that purpose
the steamboat Warrior Captain
Throckmorton. We left Rock Island
early in the day, and before night
there were indications of the cholera
among the soldiers on board the boat.
There was no surgeon on board and /
did the best could for them, When
we arrived at the mouth OF Fevre
river, | had the boat tied up and took
u skill and went up to Galena in
search of q doctor. | there found
DR.. Addison Philleo, who had been
with us in the campaign, and he
cheertully returned with me to the
steamboat and took charge of my
sick. We then continued our trip TO
Fort Crawford, where L delivered my
orders to Colonel Taylor. By that
time | had the cholera myself, and
was scarcely fit for duty. Colonel
Taylor, therefore, assigned to me for
my assistance in returning with the
Indians to Fort Armstrong, his Adiu-
tant, Lieutenant Jefferson Davis
We took with us Black Hawk and
his two sons, the Prophet and some
other chiefs. On reaching Fort Arm
strong, the cholera was raging so
violently in camp. that General Scott
ordered the steamer to go immediate
ly to Jefferson Barracks. | there
turned my prisoners over to General
Atkinson, who had resumed com
mand of the post. | then resumed my
original position at the ST. Louis Ar
senal, the temporary command of
which post devolved on me some
months afterwards.
oucn, my dear sir, are some OF my
rccollections of the BLACK Hawk
War;" which created great deal of
excitement in the Northwest, and
which was great event in its day.
1t was my first service in the field,
and | entered into it with all the zeal
of q young officer who loved his pro-
fession and desired faithfully to serve
his country. [ have retained many
pleasant memories of the officers and
soldiers with whom | was associated.
There were never finer troops than
the Illinois volunteer soldiers that
we had with us. They were brave,
intelligent and sober men, and always
yielding ready obedience to the
commands Of their officers. Many of
them, both officers and privates,
have since reached high positions in
public life, and have reflected great
credit not only upon the State but
upon the nation.
have the honor to be, very truly,
your obedient servant,
ROBERT ANDERSON.

The Growing Crops-Personal 0bserva-
tons in Southern Wisconsin.


During the recent editorial excur-
sion, we took particular pains to note
the appearance Of the crops in the
region through which we passed
Starting from this point, whore, in
consequence of the prolonged drouth,
grass, except on the marshes, is about
all dried up, and both small grains
and corn are looking very poorly,
the condition of the crops steadily
improved till we passed into Grant
county in the northern part Of that
county and of Iowa they were look
ing quite we'll on good soil. In the
vicinity Of Prairie du Chen we were
told crops bad suffered from dry
weather. With the exception of a
very few dry streaks in Iowa, we
found the whole breadth of the State
on both routes by which we crossed
it covered with the freshest verdure
grass, especially on the prairies,
heavy and good-though we were
told the soil Of Western Iowa was
too light and easily blown from the
roots to produce very heavy crops of
wheat; while corn was magnificent.
and the yield of the State this year
promises to be larger and better than
ever before, crowding hard on that
of Illinois. Near Davenport there
was large breadth Of very rich look
ing barley. After crossing the Mis-
sissipri the appearance of fields grow
ing constantly worse till we reached
the vicinity of Freeport, and from
there as far as Elkhorn, as we were
informed, the condition Of things in
Southern Wisconsin and Northern
Illinois is most lamentable. The hay
crop has amounted to nothing; pas
lures are completely parched up, and
present the color Of the dusty road,
and have little more nourishment.
There is no water in many Of the
brook beds, and cattle are very thin.
Very few fields of small grain will
pay for cutting, the straw being very
short, standing very thin, and the
heads having hardly anything on
them. a few fields of rye about
ready to cut will give small yield.
Corn is thin and very stunted. The
people of that region will have hard
time to produce for themselves or
their cattle; the latter will probably
be driven over into Iowa for pasture.
Things improve gradually from the
State line north.

HOWE MANUFAcTUREs.--Thcro is q
great deal Of truth in the following
from an exchange, and we commend
it TO tho attention Of those who do
not believe in home industry:
1t is too much the habit OF people
to look with disrespect or distrust
upon homo products, and to cherish
the idea that nothing can be good or
reliable that has not metropolitan
endorsement. No town or village
can prosper unless the business men,
we do not mean mercnants only, but
mechanics and manufacturers OF all
kinds, arc sustained. Every indus
trious mechanic is blessing to tho
town. Every manufacturing estab-
lishment, however humble, is q pub
lie benefit. Every chair, table, bed
stead, bureau, wheelbarrow, harness,
pair Of boots, or other article made
at home, keeps money from going
abroad, and to just that extent helps
the town generally.

"THoU SHALT NOT SEE THE YEARS

Antioch, and then at Rome in A. G.

five years, two months and seven
DAYS. None of his 256 SUCCESSORS

duration. Plus TX. will have attain

s4 Canada has

sar Canada has apparently suffer
ed more than other sections, and the
drouth still continues in the lower
st. Lawrence. The woods and I'M
derbrush have become as dry as tin
der and for miles on the Saguenay
river fires have swept through the
forests and over the hills, doing an
immense amount of damage in the
destruction of entire settlements and
isolated farms. Should the present
dry season continue, very great suf-
fering must ensue among the already
afflicted Canadians.

nd Minnesota the second :

With these facts before US, it is
not difficult to anticipate the time
when the larger portion of our wheat
crop will be produced west of the
Mississippi. Facts showing the de-
crease of yield in each State would
be equally striking aud more sadly
suggestive.

Expedients Of Illicit Distillers.

1t amuses strangers to hear about the
illicit whisky stills aud the ingenious modes
contrived by the owners thereof to get
theIr whisky in town and avoid the pay
ment OF the tax. Sometimes Jug or two
OF whisky is brought twenty five or thirty
miles concealed in load of wood, straw,
or corn shueks The night is favorite
time TOR such adventures, and the load is
always protected by men (hard looking
characters, too.) who seem to be composed
mainly of legs and rifles. A vigIlant spy
system is maintained by their friends IN
town, who watch the local revenue officers.
and at the right moment the illicit stuff is
brought to town and concealed in almost
un- heard OF places. A case of the kind
was brought to hight recently in the United
States Court, where lot of whisky was
brought in one Sunday and concealed in
the closet of ladys bedroom, and then
seized by the revenue officers.
A good story is told of an engineer in
the employ OF Colonel Low, while engaged
In surveying route for the Blue Ridge
Railroad. 1t appears this man, while In
the solitary wilds of the mountains, discov
cred slight smoke rising from the ground
IN most mysterious manner. and conceiv
ing 1t to be young earthquake, he started
to leave instantly; but curiosity overcame
his fear, and he returned to the place and
found that the smoke ascended from pile
OF burning brush. :" Where there's SO
much smoke there must be some fire." is
proverb that then came to his mind with
convincing force, End forthwith he COM
menced tramping out the fire. In a mo-
ment, and much to his amazement, the
ground yielded to his weight, and with a
shrek of horror he sunk beneath the earth
and tell fifteen feet, landing on the edge
OF copper whisky still, and from there to
thd ground. He was instantly overpower-
ed by three men, whose cleaning knives
and pistols and strong muscles made him
tremble like small earthquake himself,
and he shouted, +" | ain t a revenue officer,
I'm Surveyor After long parley and
thorough search of the intruder he was
allowed to get up, and he then surveyed"
the place he was in, finding it large cav
ern in the side of the mountain, and con
tanning three stills. There are many other
modes of concealing these distilleries, not
the least popular Of which is method of
distiling only at night, and hiding the
stills in the day.-[Greenville Is Co. Cor
