We have already published sundry communics-
n mo no pnuIif rf tl,p N
the State. Here Is another one, dated Abingdon.
Va, 2lst instant, and addressed TO Palmer, Hart
sock 4 Co., by Thomas 81 Kreger, Of that place:
1.-THE corn in this county, Russell, Scott, myth,
Wythe, Montgomery, and Pulaski, will not be
more than h IF a crop, and we hear from johnson
county vest that they are worse Il than In our
immediate section. We had comparative with
East Tennessec) good wheat crop, aud 1t has been
carefully harvested; and the quality OF til. VIE At
here will be greatly improved, as you VIII per-
ceive, when the wheat from this section gets To
market. We are still dry, and no prospect OF rain
1t will be impossible for The farmers to fallow
their land iii IL RI We fear II Will have very
bad feet on tt cattle interests here, a. the pas
lures are burnt up in great measure"
Now, this is quite an important Letter. l. give:
good news Of wheat but bad news Of corn an,
cattIe. We don't know, however, whether Messrs
i II Jma6 u hreger speak Oh tnc CoTu crop iToH
personal observation In The couatle' hey name oil
from mere hears.y, whi, II makes Il very great diff
ference. at the same time, we have more faith In
them than In The Agricultural Bureau at Wash
ington, uf which Norton Slaughter 4 Co., OF 80
Il Broad street, New York, say In their circular:
"A very large number o. people en- both Sides
Of the water have been grossly mislcd by the occs
sionaI reports published by the Agricultural Bl
reau at Neutrality-suspicious. 50 absurd and so pal
pa5ly Inaccurate that we wonder that any inteili
gent me reliant or dealer sh ud give them th'
slightest heed or allow them 20 influence their op
era.ions." - 'a-
BY the way we have been t ken to task oy SOM
people Tor giving The names Of Othes people wh
furnish us with Information. We hare no III o.
ties. We shall be always glad 10 get letters on til
state of The crops, and shall stick to the plm
publishing the names Of The p trties to whom IL
letters are addressed and who hand them TO VI
and we shall do this for two reas oas-one OF whcl
Is that 1t places the responsibility for the Informs
ton on the quarter from which II comes, and IL
other Is that We desire to mark our app eciatiol
OF The thoughtfulness OF those who furnish US wit
said letters, with the view OF enabling us spreA.
facts before the readers Of h " remarks"
