PRESIDENT GRANT IN STANTON.

President Grant arrived in Staunton
Thursday afternoon, by the Valley
railroad. Some two thousand persons
assembled at the depot to await the
arrival Of the train. The Vindicator
says:
Mayor Trout, Rev. Dr. Sears, Judge
Fultz, Major Hartman, and other citi
zens went in the car to pay their res
poets, and in few minutes the Mayor
appeared with the President on the
rear platform of the car, and introduced
him to the crowd, which gave three
cheers, which the President acknowl-
edged by raising his hat, a tall, white
cashmere. The band OF the "Old
Stonewall Brigade, posted in the
porch Of the American Hotel, greeted
the President with some good music,
and Mayor Trout, in conversation, old
himthat, that was or last remnant of the
Wharf.-The band of the Stonewall brig
AIDE. The President said gravely:
1.-THE IMMORTAL JACKSON"
When the music ceased he took off
his hat in acknowledgement of the at
tention. He was frequently cheered by
the crowd, always taking off his hat in
reply, and in little while the crowd
commenced shaking hands with him,
which kept him pretty busy. He re-
manned on the rear platform bowling to
the cheering crowd until the train was
out of sight. General Grant was
dressed in linen buster and white hat,
but was Without the historic cigar.
On the route from Washington, his
coming being unknown, he got along
quietly, but they found out at Harris
onburg he was coming, and there
was large crowd at the depot. He
will remain at the White Sulphur
Springs until the middle of next week,
when he will return this way to WASH
lngton, and then go to Long Branch.
THE PARTY IN THE PRESIDENTS CAR
consisted of himself, his family physic
ian, Mrs. Grant, her maid, and cook.
The car is the private one OF President
Garrett, and cost over $4,000 to fit it
up. 1t has several apartments, inclu
ding kitchen, in which the PRESS
deots dinner was cooked yesterday.
The run made yesterday was the fast
est ever made over the road, the train
having left Harper's Ferry at ! o'clock
and reached Stanton, 1876 miles at
$3.50 2. NJ, besides losing ten minutes
at Winchester.

A letter from Rappahannock county
says: Harvest has commenced with
us generally, and now as the time has
passed in which the wheat is attacked
by it's mauy enemies, and has entirely
escaped, we can confidently say what
kind of a crop we have. 1t is by far
the best crop, we have had since the
war-since 1861 at all events. 1t has
filed well, stands thick, and has ripened
finely. All Of our farmers seem pleased
and encouraged, and new impetus
will be given to the growing of wheat,
a crop that for SO many years has hardly
paid for the actual cost Of tillage. Our
best informed farmers sgree we will
raise 100000 bushels more this year in
this county than in any year since 1861.
The corn crop promises well.

stating that they would hold them as
hostages for the payment Ct the money.
They were followed by force of re-

TIE KrNpEa-M ossY AFFAIR

A card appeared in the Washington
Chronicle several weeks ago prefeling
grave charges against Gov. Kemper
Col. Mosby having signi6ed his inten
ton to run in his district as an indepen-
dent candidate for Congress, Maj.
John A. Scott, mutual friend of Gov.
Kemper and of Col Mosby addressed a
private letter to Gov. Kemper in rela-
ton to the canvass in that district. 70
this letter the Governor responded and
says. as reported, che had no aspiration
to be associated with General Grant up
Oh Presidential ticket; that he is thor
oughly in accord with the party that
elected him, and that if at home he
would take the stump against Col. Mos
by Or any other independent candidate
that might oppose the regular nominee,
&c" This correspondence was seen by
a few of the Govern or's confidential
friends and without his authority or
sanction reached the press.
Application was made to the COVER
nor to publish the correspondence which
be declined to do without the consent
Of Major Scott. He wrote a letter to
the Major making the requ est but he
had destroyed the Governors letter. A
newspaper correspondent intimated that
the reason it was not made public was
that Col. Mosby would not permit it to
be done. Mosby's attention being called
to this subject, card from Mr.. We'd
derburn appeared in the the Washing
ton Chronicle charging Gov. Kemper
with committing himself to the support
of Gen. Grant if not for seventy times
seven. for at least seven terms, that he
would bring to his support $4,000 con
federate braves, &c, &c" The charges
are of a grave character and one which
seriously affects the reputation Of one,
who at this time enjoys the full conf
dence ofthe conservative party Of Vir
ginia. Gov. Kemper was absent
from Richmond at the time of the APP
pearance of the card. A reply from
him will probably appear this week,
when we will be better enabled to judge
of the affair.

REPORTS FROM The WHEAT HARVEST.
[From the Clarke Courier.]

lfrom the Clarke Courier
Some of our farmers have commenced
to cut their wheat crop, and by the
first of next week all will be engaged
in moving the golden grain. The
crop has been injured to some extent
by the fly and other vermin, notwith-
standing which, and the fact that the
acreage this season is not as large as
in past years, it Is believed that the
wheat yield will be greater than it has
been for several years in this county.
from the Roanoke vallsy.l
The generality Of farmers have com
menced to cut wheat. The prospects
are that the yield will be good, though
our information is confined to the dis
trict lying around Boydton, and on the
main road from here to Gainesville.
The rust did but little damage to crop
through at one time it was feared
that much damage would be sustained
by the growing crop. The season was
quick, so that when the rust attacked it
had but short while to injure it before
the favorable season ripened the crop.
from the Farmvi1e Morcury.]
Our farmers have been for some DAYS
busy cutting wheat. We are sorry to
hear unfavorable accounts of the crop
in this region. One of our best far
mers told US day or two since that it
was the most inferior that had been
raised since the war.
from the charlottesville a. zafta
The past week has been busy one
with our farmers in the harvest fields
The acreage was large, and the proba
bic yield more abundant than for many
years. The fears of extensive damage
by the rust OF fly have not been fully
realized.
from the Montgomery Messenger
Our people are in the midst of theil
wheat harvest. The grain is fine in
quality, and the yield is far above the
crop of last year. The hay will be
good, but the oats almost total failure
The corn is very promising.
Iron the staunton vindicator
Our harvest is now progressing with
the prospect of an average crop Of
wheat, the continual dry weather being
propitious to the wheat, though des,
truction to the oats crop, which will
undoubtedly be short.
[From Tidewater Essex county Index:l
The wheat harvest is over in this
section, and the complaints of short
crop are almost universal, but the far.
mers reporting an average crop.
[From the warrenton Index.l
Fauquier farmers are nov busily en-
gagged harvesting their wheat. The
crop is magnificent one.
