of cotton-press houses, that are filled
with cotton and sugar, and goods that we
took from the rebels. We find contra
band goods every day; and all we find
we take and put guard over. So we have
so many places to guard that there are
not men enough in the regiment for a
change. But don't think it will last
long, and l hope it won't, for it will kill
the whole of us, for we can't stand it
with so little sleep-it is worse than

"There are about 8 regiments stationed
in this place; SO guess we can hold the
city without any trouble. There are any
amount of ships and gun-boats stationed
here, and we can shell the city and burn
it in less than two hours any time if it
comes to that; but l don't think we shall
have any occasion to do it, for they are
very peaceable-more so than we expect
ed, and I think there will be no trouble
in settling the matter with the city, for if
they don't settle soon the poor will all
starve to death. There are twelve hun
dred families who are fed by Gen. But
Ter. They distri butte to them twice each
week but these are not half of them.

to us, and beg of us to give them some

get, and the rich won't take it; but they
pass it off on them for their labor.

while others are daily sinking into the oblivion

THE WHEAT CRoP.-The more We hear the
more we are convinced that the report of the gen
eral destruction of the wheat crop is without foun-
dation. The Marion Enterprise, published in
Mcdowell county, speaking of the wheat crop in
Western North Carolina, says:


EIt is somewhat amusing to see the conflicting
statements of correspondents in our exchanges, in
reference to the wheat crop in the same locality.
Some declare that it was never more promising !;
Others, that there will not be more than half
crop Now, we have discovered that those who
depreciate the present prospects OF a good crop,
are the men who have wheat to SELL The fact is,
crops in Western North Carolina are as promising
as usual and those persons who strive to make the
impression that the rust is destroying the present
crop are seeking some pretext upon which to base
a reason for asking higher price for the wheat
on hand"


There are some localities where the wheat is
considerably blighted, but we do not believe it a
general thing and we think there will be nearly
an average crop throughout the country. The
corn crop will more than make up for the def
cheney of wheat.


The Fayetteville Observer of the 9th says:


"The damage done by the late immense rains
is incalcuable. The streams have been higher
than for many years past carrying off bridges,
mill dams, fields of small grain, young corn, &c.
A letter from Randolph county tells that not
withstanding the damage, the wheat crop will be
an average one, ana that everything else is prom
ising"


The spartanburg Is. CO. Express of the 4th,
states that Kit is now pretty generally conceded
that the panic about the wheat crop was unueces-
sary. From various sources we learn that the rust
upon the blade has not affected the stalk OR the
grain, and great Improvement has been manifest
in the prospect. fair average yield is now ex-
