TENNESSEE CROPS.

The State CommissionerofA Agriculture
in his November crop resport says
This has been a prosperous year for
the farmers Of Tennessee, though labor
ing under many disadvantages, resulting
from the partial failure of crops last
year, in consequence of the drought
they have labored theoretically and
industriously, and their labors have
been crowned with abundant success.
Every character of crop cultivated in
the State has yielded abundantly. The
misfortune of last year taught economy.
The farmers of Tennessee went in debt
to smaller extent during the past
season than in former years and in
consequence a larger percentage of the
crop raised is now their own. Another
lesson was learned which, with the one
Just stated it will be well to remember.
Owing to the abundant rainfall of last
winter and early spring serious appre-
tensions were entertained of drought
in the summer This apprehension led
to better preparation of the soil by
deeper tillage. Our abundant crops are
doubtless, in part at least, attributable
to this cause.

The emigrant must expect to miss
many of the agreeable conditions of life
in his own home: to work hard, and
live plainly, to get along without a
hundred comforts and pleasures which
have been almost as much matter of

He will have to find his enjoyments,
for few years, largely in anticipating
the rewards which the future is to
bring. He will not have to endure the
rude physical hardships suffered by tie

the forests of Ohio and Indiana, for the
railroads now go in advance of settle

There is, perhaps, no part of the
United States where life goes on more
calmly than in the region of the Cum
berland Mountains, Tennessee. This
beautiful wilderness is thinly peopled
by race of native" that is, white
settlers and squatters, who are as I'M
affected by the fierce activities of their
fellow-ctizens in the eastern and western
States as if they were inhabitants of
another age Their homesteads are
remote from highways; and these high
ways are so little freqnented that weeks

Sir,-How much has the business of

correspondent "Headlight" is in a
position to TELL and perhaps Mr.. john
Scott may be requested to spare enough
Of his valuable time from the important
business of "unearthing abuses" to
furnish that information to the men
WHO built the road and still own
it. If the road is dwindling in business
and revenue while all the other railways
IN the country are increasing in pros
perity, will it be a sufficient excuse for
this manager, stuffed with conceit till
he is bigger than Vanderbilt, and Gould,
and Jewett, and Huntington, and Gar
rett all put together, to say that he
was too busy 'unearthing abuses" tc
attend to the millions of dollars worth
Of business that have sought other
lines, or been destroyed altogether

The dried fruit trade of Chattanooga has
attained enormous proportions this year, and
it has been chiefly owing to the efforts OF one
firm, who have spared no pains to advertise
the city as fruit market. A number of car

the surrounding district, and will probably be
