The exports OF the crop of each

to the succeeding year, as, for in q.
stance, those Of the crop of 1871 run
to June 30, 1872, and so on for the
subsequent years to 1876. The ex-
ports of the crop of 1877, the ship
ment of which is computed to Sep
TENDER l, l878-the fiscal year being
changed-is partly official and partly
estimated, but the reasons given for
putting the exports as high as 100,-
00O,0O0 bushels appear to be conclu-
siye. Assuming it to be correct, the
following statement is given of the
manner in which the crop of 1877 has
been or is being disposed of. The
total crop for the year was 325, O0O,-
0OO bushels. The requirement for
home consumption and for seed are
put at 2l6, 100000 bushels, leaving a
sucg>l of 100 100000 bushels for ex-
port and to replenish stocks on hand.
OF this 100000, 600 bushels total Of
S0,000,000 bushels had been exported
trom all the ports up to the first Of
the presentmonth, and it il argued
that "if we add something for the
export Of what in various forms of
bread, and the probable exports dur
ing aid the present month, the total
exports of the Srop Of 1877 will not
be far from 10D,000,O0O bushels"
We give the data upon which the
exports of the crop of 1877 are based
because of the Importance of the
subject as bearing upon the DISPOSE
ton of the crop of 1878 (the present
year, That crop, as We have al
ready stated, is put at 4O7,OOO,OOO
bushels. 1t is estimated that the re-
quirements for seed and home con-
sumption will absorb 220,000,000
bushels, as-against 2l6,OOO,OOO BUSH

Shooting Affair at Homecoming.

Saturday a man named James
James, entered the orchard Of Adam
Green near Homecoming and was pro-
ceeding to gather up some apples ly-
ing upon the ground, when Green
discovered the intruder, and procur-
ing shotgun fired upon him, but
without effect. James fed, but re-
turned after the sack which he had
left on the ground, when Green fired
again, the load taking effect in the
back part of James head, tearing the
scalp and prostrating him. He soon
regained his leet however, and walk
ed to the Office of Justice &. S. Muir

Green for assault with intent to kill.
The latter was brought before the
Justice, who after hearing the evil
dence, held the accused in 5000 for

Appalling Stories from Southern Refu.
gees.


A special disDatch to the New
Yore Times from Louisville, August
l6, says: No one perhaps can bet
ter describe the scenes in and around
Grenada than the refugees from that
unfortunate town. Several promi-
nen1 gentlemen, with their families,
are here, having come up from Gren-
ada on Tuesday night. One of the
number is Gen. f. C. Walthall, with
his family. He was at one time at
torney for the Mississippi Cen trail
Railway, and his connection with
the road proved to be Of great service
to him in a moment when he needed
all the influence that personal friend
ship could command. He telegraph
ed twice from Grenada to this city,
asking to have a train stopped on
Tuesday night. All the trains had
been rushed through the town, dis
regarding the appeals of all who
stood by the depot, making signals to
express their desire to be taken away
from a place so full of horror every
moment. The second telegram re-
ceived a favorable reply, and the
train at 1875 in the evening stopped,
much to the CONSERVATION of the
crowds Of passengers who came up
from below, all Of whom dreaded the
infection and were flying from it.
Gen. Walthalls permit was for him.

comprising only three or four per-
sons, had suddenly increased to 80.
lie took under his protection every
family not already gone fro m the
town in wagons or by earlier trains,
ana few reSolute ones who would
not go. Among the number who ac-
companied him was Col. n. c.. Sny-
der and his family, six in number.
The stories told by these refugees
convey All appalling impression of
the panic caused by the rapid devel-
opment of the pestilence. On Sunday
the excitement became general, only
the physicians and a few persons
who had seen and braved yellow
lever before remaining. These
gentlemen who have come to this
city say they would not have come
at all if it had not been for the add
vice OF the Howard association of
Memphis, who counseled everybody
to leave who could not fight and
wanted to avoid it. The apprehen-
sions OF the women added to their
own Tears, and then little children,
unaware Of the danger about them,
appealed to them to be taken to a
place OF safety. On Sunday, when
the disease was pronounced yellow

IMMENSE COAL BUSINESS. Some
idea of the manner in which the i'm
mense coal business Of Pittsburg and
vicinity is conducted may be formed
from the fact that the mammoth
tow-boat Joseph b. Williams, of
Louisville, on its last trip from that
city to New Orleans, lowed down
100000 bushels of coal, weighing
twenty-four hundred tons. 1t would
require one hundred and twenty-four
locomotives to haul it, and the train
would be fourteen and a half miles
in length. Run as a convoy, one
quarter of mile apart, it would
reach a distance of forty-four and a
half miles.

The most glorious chapter ofAmer-
lean history is that which covers the
record of the nation under Republi-
can management. Hard times, bust:
ness Drostratlon, and all the evils
growing therefrom date from the I'M
fortunate hour when Democracy
gained control of the House of Rep
resentatives. The only way to re-
store confidence is to restore the con-

FEUD IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
AUGUSTA, GA, Aug. 13.-A "dif.
ficulty" occurred at Edgefeid, South
Carolina, on Monday, in which three
men-Brooker Toney Thomas Booth
and James Booth-were killed and
seven others wounded, one of them
MORALLY. The trouble grew out of
"a family feud of long standing.
Touey's brother was killed several
years ago, and Toney suspected that
the murder was committed by the
booths. He, therefore, swore that he
would kill the latter on sight. The
hostile parties met ON Monday, and
Toney proceeded to carry out his
threats. He drew a pistol and fired;
killing the two Booths before he was
shot himself. Friends of both parties
were drawn into the fight, and about
seventeen shots were fired in all:
There was Democratic political
meeting in progress at the time;
about half mile from the village of
Edgefield, in which the shooting oc-
Cured, and Governor Hampton, who
was at the meeting; as soon as he
heard of the fight, ordered a CONS
pany of State troops to the scene.
There was no fighting after the sol
diers reached the spot. Toney killed
a negro in Adgetield Il short time
ago, but this does not seem to have
resulted in any curtailmen Of his
liberty.

Each man has his greasy bag of coin
and is wild to invest in some sort OF

already, the day before yesterday,
gone up 800 per centum and the con
tractors who agreed last Friday to
furnish the British fleet with sup
plies at what seemed to them an
enormous advance on their usual
aprices now find. themselves ruined
men, compelled to sell at less than
half the market rates. Already they
talk of railroad to Aleppo under
British ''prOtection"-a word which
has come to be very well understood
in India. But the prophets are in
dulging in even grandor dreams for
the resurrection OF the Orient. They
have already devised way to restore
the moles and decayed harbor Of
Seleucia, the ancient port of Antioch,
which is on the main land over
against Cyprus, at cost of 5000, 900.
From this point they figure out a
railroad to Biz, at the head of nayi-
cation on the Euphrates, a distance
of $50 miles, the greatest elevation to
worry the engineers being about
1,500 feet. This feat accomplished ,
connections can be made in Persia,
down the Enphrates bank to the
head of the Persian gulf. There is
nothing impossible or at all vague in
these pictures Of a great commercial
Renaissance for Asia Minor. In the
golden prime of Antioch she contain
ed untold wealth, the spirit of mer-
chandise and adventure. She ruled
the Mediterranean trade as COM
pletely before Christ as Venice did
in the days of the Medicis. With an
infusion of fresh blood and modern
ambition, aided by freedom from the
throttling influence of Turkey, she
may revive. The missionaries are
looking upon the English protectorate
with religious fervor. 1t recalls to
them the dawn of Christianity when
Paul and Barnabas started the new
faith at Antioch, from which point
it spread, and taking purely spirit
ual view of the case they regard it a
wonderful decree of Providence that
Beaconsfeld, of Jewish lineage,
should be chosen for the work o f
planting the cross again oyer this
cradle of the Christian faith.
