A veteran soIaIsr Gone.

Capt. James r. I4eftwich, a vete-
ran soldier OF the Mexican war, and
a gallant soldier in the late civil
war, died in Maury county, this
State, last Sunday, aged 5S years.
He was the eldest brother of the late
Rev. DIR. Lef.wich, now pastor of
Eln-street Methodist Church, in
this city, and will be remembered
by many of the old cotton buyers of
Nashville. and other business men
on Broad street before the war. He
and a younger brother ser=eti
through the Mexican war under
Gen. Pillow, and by their soldierly
fidelity and gallant bearing contrib
uted to the glory Of Tennessee as the
- Volunteer state"
In the late civil war his younger
brother fought and died In the IA
nous "StOnewall Brigade" and,
with his distinguished chieftain,
"passed over the river and rests un-
der the shade of the trees.v Capt.
Leftwich served under Gen. Forrest,
ard distinguished himself in many
a hard-fOught battle under that in
trepid leader. He was accorded the
distinction of receiving the surren-
der of the Federal forces at Rome,
Ga, and was subsequently captured
himself and taken to JOhnson's
Island, where he remained during
the last eighteen months OF the war.
He never recovered from the effects
Of his Imprisonment. But his bat-
ties are all gVer now. and he has
gone to join his- companions in the |

taxation in New YORK city

From the work of the New York
Tax Commissioners as far as 1t has
progressed, it is estimated that the
corrected assessment on personal
property i'm that city for 1879 will be
about $lS8, 900, 900, q decrease Of
$4,000, 600 since 1872. On the
other hand the activity in building
i'm 1873, and especially i'm the erec-
tion of many costly buildings, has
increased the assessed value of real
estate in the city, and it is believed
this years assessment will be about
$905, 900, 600, or $500, COO more
than last year. About one-fifth in
value 0f ali the real estate i'm the
city is exempt from taxation.

Columbia Sentinel.

Certain newspapers and certain
individuals in this State are con-
stantly in the habit of charging ev-
cry newspaper, and, in fact, every
man that advocates an honest set
tlement-Of the State debt, with be-
ing agents of the bondhOlders, and,
In truth, with being corrupt, for
that is what these men and these
newspapers which make such
charges mean. All that we have
to say To this is that 1t is an unqual-
ified, unmitigated slander, worthy
of demagOgues Of the lowest type.
Why do not these men produce
some proofof these malicious charges
and insinuations 1t is because
they know they are incapable of
answering arguments, that they re-
sort To such low, vile means of
arousing the prejudices of the ignor-
ant and exciting the passions of the
depraved.
Having never received q cent
from bondholders or railroad COM
paiiies, we speak boldly. We, as
other State credit men, have sub
mitted to these mean and cOwardly
insinuations until further patience
ceases to be virtue, and we intend
to denounce such ISLANDERS as they
deserve, let Others do as they Will.
If these men know of any newspa-
per or any man that has been bought
by the bondholders, let them give
the name, or forever hold their
peace and withdraw their foul
charges.

Report of the Department of Agri-
culture-A Very Productive
Kenr

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE agri-
cultural report just issued, in giving
the prices of the cotton crop, says :
''We are guided by the prices re-
ceived by the planter, which have
ruled excessively low this winter,
the average for the whole country
being about 81 cents per pound. The
great value of this crop is founded
on the demand for export. Prior
to the war, and in 1850 and 1860,
the amount imported into Great
Britain from the United States was
four-fifths of their whole importa-
tion. During the war it fell eff to
less than 2 pr cent. Starting in
1866 at 81 per cent, we find that in
1878 we had regained the position
we held prior to 1861, and that four
fifths of the cotton used and manu-
factured in Great Britain came from
the United states. The proportion
of our total crop exported to foreign
ports was 100000 bales out of a
crop of 4,750,00O bales during the
year ending September /, 1875. The
production of this great staple seems
to be too large, and the result is
shown in the glutted markets and
low prices, the larger crop of 1873
being worth less than that of the
preceding year. Basing the ealcu-
latiOn on the prices returned by the
producer, we find the value of the
crop OF 1877 to be $l94, ZOO, 900, and
for 1873 $240, 900, 900, while the num-
Der of bales was 4,750,000 in 1877
and 5,200,000 for 1878. The total
amount exported and manufactured
was a little over 405, ,000, 900 pounds.
per cent. for that used
at home and that which evaded the
tax, we have crop for 1877 of about
400, 900, 900 pounds. The acreage for
1873 was seventy-six per cent. of
1877.
THE TOBACCO CROP.

TIE ToRACCo CRoP.

The quality of tobacco produced
was generally better and heavier,
making the yield per acre rather
more than that of the previous year,
except in Kentucky, where it fell
off slightly. We estimate the total
crop of 1878 at 393, 900, 900 pounds,
worth $22, ,000, 900, against 490, :
600 pounds last year.
