I able reference to the crops at this season {
the year. About the Goth of April, th
r wheat crop in Kentucky and q large portion
: of Tennessee was pronounced an utter fAilur
r on account of the hard freeze, but noy
, !, the discussion. among the farmers grow
fast and furious as to whether they will hav
half or an average crop. The weather thu
, far has been all that could be desired, no
only for wheat, but tobacco ALSO There il
more tobacco set at this season than has bee,
known for years.
COMMANDMENTS.
The whole land is filed with the literar,
chatter of commandments. The male an6
the female schools, colleges and universities
are under the mental lash and spur. From
the number of speeches, addresses, sermons
and innumerable readings of compositions,
we can almost take in by absorption good
stock of learning to run one for common
lifetime. Some are puzzled to know why
such occasions are styled commandments,
when, to all intent, it seems to be the closing.
At Russelville, KY, and GAINESVILLE, Tenn,
they have had stirring time in the colleges.
DR.. Palmer was earnestly looked for at
Clar ksville, but the session of the General
Assembly prevented his attendance. If the
Doctors congregation are not on the alert
they will yet loose him.
At Russelville, Ky, Rev. DR.. Joe Cottrell
WINS on hand with one of his intellectual and
original mental treats. The Doctor is now
stationed at Owensborough, KY, formerly q.
Columbus, Miss.
POLITICAL.
The political cauldron is simmering away
and will slop over ere long. The Presiden-
tial letter is exciting much comment; but one
thing is evident in the letter, and that is, that
the President will not break with the bond
holders, who are willing to buy his way to a
third term. If the President had only taken
Simon Cameron into the Cabinet, his way to q
third term would have been greatly advanced,
and Pennsylvania would have fallen into line.
Gen. Bristow's stock is quietly rising in the
Republican market. His raid upon the dis
tillers and the great whisky ring has forced
him prominently before the people. Vice
President Wilson at the great Temperance
Alliance at Chicago makes bid in the same
direction, from the fact that temperance or
CARNATIONS, now rapidly on the increase in
some sections of the country, have taken
new departure in politics
They say we will not NEEDLE with the polit-
ical parties, nor will we nominate men fer
office, bat we are pledged to vote for no man
who treats at elections or INDUCES in the use
Of intoxicating liquors.
AS these temperance organizations hold the
balance of power in some sections, the politi-
,al parties are forced to nominate sober men
or Office, as they have regularly defeated the
men of both parties who treat and imbibe too
RELY.
They are now classed with the independent /
'oters that we hear SO much about. Thi, :,
o!ing element is likely to increase. >
The Independent Champions Of the Red
ross, numbering nine thousand voters, are
lodged to vote for no man who imbibes the 9

RELIGIOUS.
The various religious denominations hold i
lg their sessions at this season are attracting o
uch public attention.
The Northern and Southern GeneralAssem- =
lies Of the Presbyterian Churches have made q
,other abortive effort at union. Neither G.
icy nor ths Methodist Churches South will
'er form an organic union. That day is
'st, for these Southern bodies are becoming 7
o large for such purpose, but in the course !, y
time they may get up fraternal inter.
lange. Have you noticed the tendency in T
9 daily press to look in upon and discuss Ia
9 religious bodies of the day, and take part ~
the great theological questions of the hour?
The fact is, the daily press has actually be-
me one of the mightiest elements of power
educating and instructing the public mind
all topics. A synopsis Of the world, in all ju
partments, is to be found in the columns ~
