MEMPHIS.
The Success of the Carnival.
All FOOLS Day-The City OVerrun with
BUGOOns-2O,O 900 Strangers on
Handling Thingl

Handling Ih1nGI
MEMPHIS, Feb. 13.-Allthe main streets
are densely crowded, principally with visi-
tors to the carnival festivities. 1t is estimated
that fifteen or twenty thousand strangers
are present. Business is suspended except
among the retail shops. Masquers in gro
tesque costumes thrODg the streets. The
weather is delightful. The first carnival is
a success beyond peradventure. The pro-
cession will not be formed till six this eve
ming.
LATER.-The Carnival to-day surpassed
the most sanguine expectations of the pro-
jectoTs. BY noon the streets were filed
with maskers, representing every conceiva-
bic character, from Napoleon to Rip Van
Wrinkle, with Schneider and every nation
atty under the sun, on foot, horseback, in
carriages, eXtempoTized chariOts, and veloc-
ipedes. The sidewalks were blocked with
spectators. 1t is estimated that during the
afternoon 10000 people were on the
streets. Though the spe ,tators pelted the
maskers with bon bons, not a single dis
tUrbanCe occurred to mar the good feeling
which prevailed. During the afternoon
business was entirely suspended, and the
whole city given up to King Menus and his
SUBJECTS.
P. M.-At I O'Clock the grand procession
was formed, composed of some thousand
horsemen, a large number of wagons hand
somely festOOned, representing every branch
Uftrade and manufacture, accompanied by
several bands. Most of the maskers car
Tied torches or Chinese lanterns, while the
streets were Illuminated with calcium and
parti-colOred lamps, presenting a grand
sight. Those who witnessed the carnival
at New Orleans, say this surpasses anything
every seen there. After marching through
the streets, the procession disbanded, and
the maskers proceeded to the Theatre, the
Opera House, the Assembly and Cochrane
Halls, where the festivities will conclude
with grand masquerade balls, which close
at midnight.

The following is an extract from letter
to the Chief ofthe Bureau of Statistics, at
Washington, dated Dover, Stewart county,
Tennessee, Jan. "a, 1872:
"Our country is in part level and in part
billy. Land is very cheap, ranging from so
cents to $40 per acre, according to location
and improvements. 1t can also be rented
or leased for number of years. Not more
than one-fourth Ofthe land in our section is
cultivated, and there are few buildings.
Money has been very scarce since the war
in this and neighboring counties. The
land produces very well, the leading
articles cultivated being corn, wheat,
rye, barley, oats, buckwheat, beans,
peas, sorghum, and potatoes. Cotton is
grown to some extent, and tobacco is raised
with entire success, including some Of the
best varieties. This is the home of the
horticulturist. All the ordinary fruits grow
to great perfection, including apples,
peaches, pears, cherries, apricots, nectar
ines, ounces, and the various kinds of
grapes, all of which mature to great perfec-
ton. Fruit and wine growers can find
here promising field. The peanut is also
a paying crop in this country, the yield be-
ing often as high as 100 bushels per acre,
which, at 81 per bushel, pays the producer
a very liberal percentage on his investment.
