dispatch from Washington saws

The President and his cabinet have been es-
pecially touched and gratified by the evidences
of affection and sympathy which have come from
all parts of the South. Hundreds of kilograms,
coming from every Southern State from Vir-
ginia to Texas, and representing both sexes and
all classes of the Southern people, have been re-
ceived since yesterday morning and still con-
time to come. 1t has been utterly impossible
in the excitement and anxiety of the present
crisis to acknowledge these kilograms or to eX-
press to the writers the qualification which their
good wishes and warm sympathy have given to
the President and his cabinet. A general tele-
gram of acknowledgement to the people of the
United States will shortly be prepared BY the
Secretary of State and given to The press

last year, but the total production of the county
will probably be as great, since larger acreage
