And in connection with the Office 81 this port, let
me add that our own Office st Wind Mil Point is
not lacking in its show Of business. This office,
under the direction ofc,ptsins Balm and Branch,
(of soldier life, tried and true,) is in a no lees

ceipts at this Office for July were something in
excess Of ST. 600, out,ide OF all lumber shipped
to Burlington, which is no profit to this Office,

and when you learn thst quite two-thirds Of all
the lumber cleared from this office goes to Bar

Office at Wind Mill Point is paying one. The
shipments Of lumber iutikble at this office for
the month Of July exceed 4 ,226, 800 feet. l

Crops IN HICKMAN.

The following in relation to the crops in
Hickman county viii be read with interest.
We should be gratifed to accept the invita-
ton of our correspondent. He says:
Wheat was better this season than usual.
Some of the farmers in this county have
threshed their crop and say the yield is bet
ter and the quality far superior to anything
in the wheat line for several years, inlsome
instances yielding as much as twenty bush
els per acre, though there was not as much
sOwn last fall (On account of the failure in
last years crop and the inferior quality of
seed) as usual. Oats look we'll and will
soon be ready for harvesting. The pros
pect was never finer for corn, though there
was very short crop planted, as the whole
county is wild on the peanut question, and
[ suppose there is at least oDe-third more
planted this spring tiIan ever before. We
have apples, peaches, pears, plums, cher
ries and " ortle-berries in the Creates
abundance, and if you will come down to
old Hickman this summer and spend few
weeks with US in July and August, we will,
almost any of us, be able TO and take pleas
ure in treating you to the fat of the land
good cold spring water gushing from under
our everlasting hills, peach pie and sweet
milk, with the cream on, from the coolest
and best place in the spring house, and such
other luxuries as one in the City Of Rocks
cannot well afford this hot weather.

BUREAU OF AGRrCULrURE.

We are highly gratifie 10 see the evil
denees Of appreciation which VIC weekly
receive in regard to the Bureau of Agri-
culture. From the North and the South,
we find the plan which the Commissioners
have sketched out heartily commended. 1t
is agreed by all that if properly worked up,
it will save the State thousands of dollars
and attract to it large amount of capital
and skilled labor. The truth is tie
people of Tennessee are much in the condi-
ton of merchant who has been trading
and specializing for seventy-six years with
out ever having taken "stock." There is
not to-day a man in this State who
can give salts actory account of the
resources of either grand division. This
is lamentable when we remember
how much raw material, how much
uncu ltivated land, how many rapid
streams, whose waters are gliding on to the
Gulf innocent of water wheel, how many
attractions of soil and climate we can offer
TO industrious men and women whose la
Dor We need, and whose patient industry
would transform the gloom of the forest in
to the glory of the field, and multiply by
manufactures our products indefinitely.
Mr.. Francis Fontaine of Georgia, one of
the most scientific farmers of the South, in
a letter to the Plantation directs attention
to the Bureau as established in this State;
and after sketching its leading features,
says:
''If all the plans hitherto devised to at
tract immigration have failed, it would seem
advisable to search others; and this seems
eminently practical and practicable.
"If we cannot have a physical survey,
nor emulate the progress of M ississippi and
Tennessee in their system of crop reports,
let US, at least, unfold to the foreign miner,
mechanic and artisan the wonderful, varied,
but dormant resources of the Empire State
of the South. The future is aglow with
promise, and material progress beckons us
onward"
The plan and purpose of the Bureau
have not received that attention from the
local press of the State which it ought to
have done. When once understood, it will
commend itself to every thinking man in
the State. Let light be given.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer says: eve
have seen a letter from a disabled veteran
who is in the Soldiers Home near Fortress
Monroe, Va. He says large majority Of
the inmates are for Greeley as against
Grant. Grant has persistently ignored and
contemptuously treated the veteran in all
his appointments. lie has given very few
Of them positions. Not one, in fact, where
Andy Johnson gave ten. In addition, he
claims to have alone saved the country.
The consequence is, the veterans are down
up0n him as We have stated. In this county,
for instance, nearly every one Of Andy
,Iohnson's oflice-holders were veteran SOL
