CoRN-The general average condition o
the corn crop on September 1st was 60, being
II per cent. lower than the month previous
and 81 per cent lower than year ago at th'
same date. The cause of the low condition
existing in almost every section Of the country
is the drouth. New England has been les'
affected by it than any other section east o.
the Mississippi, and reports an average OF 10
In Wisconsin, Minnesota and most OF the
Territories there has been more seasonable
weather, and the condition of the crop is cor
respondingly better. but in all other sections
the reports show the effect of the unusually
dry season. From Illinois, Missouri and
Kansas come serious complaints of ravages
by chinch bugs, added to the prevailing
drouth, and the injury to the crop prospect is
shown by the State averages, which are 3D.

ALABAMA.-Heavy rains fell on the 18th
and 10Th, doing considerable damage to cot.
ton and greatly interfering with picking
Prospects seem favorable for more rain.
Previous to this, picking has been very gener-
al, and from one.third to onehalf of the crop
had been picked. Only about one.fourth has
been marketed. The crop will be at least
onefourth short. Its quality is excellent.
ARKANsAs-The weather continues cold
and dry. Picking is progressing rapidly.
The crop will probably be one.third less than
last year. It's quality is excellent
FLoR1DA.-Rain on the 18th interfered
with picking, Previous thereto picking had
been general. Receipts were light. The
quality of the staple continues excellent.
GEoRG1A.-Rains have greatly improved
the cotton but interfered with picking. About
half the crop has been gathered and it is
coming in rapidly. The acreage is 5 per
cent. greater than last year, but the condition
of the crop is bad.
LoU1sIANA.-Light and refreshing showers
fell throughout the State on the 18th, greatly
improving cotton. Picking is progressing
slowly, and from one half to two-thirds Of
crop is already gathered and one fourth mar
keted. Picking will be over by October 10th.
In some portions of the State it is estimated
that only half u crop will be made.

HIGH WATER.

We learn that there was heavy freshet on
Catawba river last Monday-the stream hav.
ing commenced to rise on Sunday. At Cure.
tons Ferry, near the dividing line Of York and
Lancaster counties, the river was fifteen feet
higher than it has been known within the last
FIVE years. We have not learned the damage
by The freshet on the borders of this county ),
but in the vicinity Of Cureton's Ferry, the
damage has been great. One farmer lost his
entire corn crop, planted on the river bottom,
and another that we hear of will lose from
5000 to 1000 bushels.

trary, it has been held by the courts that
where the fatal blow was struck in one juris-
dctiou and the victim died in another juris.
dction, no indictment would lie in either
State. But in the case of New Jersey, &C.
corrling to the statement of some person who
has been investigating the subject, it happens
that the Legislature of that State, by an Act
passed in 1877, has provided for this contn-
gency, and no matter where the murderous
act was committed, the murderer can be tried
in the county where the death Of the victim
occurred. The only difficulty in the way
would be the extradition of the prisoner from
the District of Columbia, and should there
unhappily be an occasion for taking Guiteau
to New Jersey for trial, no doubt the decis.
ions of the courts which would have protect
ed him from indictment in that State prior to
the passage of the Act of 1877, will be cited
to show that he cannot be removed to a for
eign jurisdiction to answer for an offence
committed in the District.
Postal Telegraphy.
-- 1t is stated that in his annual report,
the Postmaster General will devote consider
able space to two topics, upon which he holds
decided views in accord with those entertain.
ed by his immediate predecessors. He will
probably recommend the establishment Of
postal savings banks and a postal telegraph
system analogous to those of Great Britain.
The establishment of the postal savings banks,
it is claimed, could be comparatively very
easily effected.
1t is understood that he has prepared the
outline ola system, modelled on that Of Great
Britain, which contains many Improvements
upon its model. In almost every country in
Europe the telegraph system is operated by
the government, usually with success 1t is
believed in the Post Office Department that
such system would succeed in the United
States that it would not be so easily to es-
tablish as the savings banks system, but once
established it would be as successful as that
of England, which, ten years after its estab'
lshment, yielded net revenue Of million
pounds year.
The proposition to build new government
lines to compete with the private lines now in
existence is not regarded favorably. The
plan advanced in Congress last session will
probably be that recommended, if any scheme
is formulated. 1t embraced the appraisal Of
the property of existing telegraph companies,
and its purchase at cost prices. The Act of
1866, granting right of way through public
lands aud other privileges to telegraph COM
panies, authorized the course proposed in the
case of any company accepting its provisions.
All the leading telegraph companies have
accepted its terms and are held to be subject
to its provisions. Twenty million dollars.
which is about the price paid by Great Bri.
tain under similar circumstances ten years
ago for the private telegraph lines of the
United Kingdom would, it is believed, be
reported to be the value Of the private tele-
graph lines of the United States by the com.
mission of appraisement. &.t e#''s

The following report of the cotton and corn
crops was issued by the Department Of Agri-
culture at Washington on the 18th instant:
CorroN-Reports of September 1st to this
Department show very heavy decline in the
condition of cotton since the last report, ow.

vailed in all sections of the cotton belt. The
condition is reported at 70, decrease of 16
per cent. during the month of August, and
as compared with the returns at the same date
last year, is 10 per cent. less. The reports

X. M. MILITARY SCHOOL.

BY notice of the Principal of the above in.
sttution, published in another column, it will
be seen that the cadets of the school will 60
into encampment on the Kings Mountain
battlefield on the 3rd of October and remain
a week, as has been the custom almost every
year since the school was established in 1855.
Originally the object of this excursion and
encampment was, besides for the purpose of
celebrating the anniversary of the school, as
also to do homage to the heroes of the i'm
portant victory won on the ground, also to
afford to the cadets few days Of rest and
recreation from their studies, by the exhilara'
ting effects of camp.life on the picturesque
and historic grounds. But now, since the
centennial celebration of the battle, other
reasons for this annual pilgrimage are given,
among which may be reckoned-
First. To inaugurate an annual resort to
this interesting spot, with view to the care
and Improvement of the monument and
grounds, and the possible establishment there
of pleasant summer resort.
Second. To afford pleasant and invigo-
rating excursion to the cadets and an oppor-
tunity for the reunion of all who have been
connected with the institution.
1t is hoped, on this occasion, that many
families from town will "tent out" there for a
few days, as was done last year. The most
interesting feature to the faculty, pupils and
friends of the school, will be the delivery Of
the oration by Mr.. Currell, who after gradu-
ating from the school, went to Washington
Lee University, and there won the degree of
Master of Arts with distinction, and is now
au assistant professor in that institution.
Capt. w. T. R. Bell will be there with the
Cadets of K. M. High School. The officers
and cadets of the Carolina Military Institute
at Charlotte, and the Greenvile Military In
stitute at Greenvile, and several military or
ganizations in the State have also been invited,
but have not yet been heard from. Enough
has been learned to warrant the statement
that there will be large attendance of peo.
pie from the surrounding country on Friday,

REFRESHING RAINS.

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday Of last
week, refreshing rains fell in this vicinity, the
rainfall for the three days amounting to II
inches. Our information is that rain was
general throughout the county last week, as
also in the adjoining counties. Although the
parched ground was not penetrated deeply
by the recent rains, it was sufficiently moist
ened to enable farmers to commence fall
blowing, preparatory to sowing oats and wheat.
