Wheat.
Mr. Iragoyt, chief of the department of
general staUstica of France, In nn interest
ing report published in 13G8, upon the agrl-
,Uluru of France at different periods, says
that (he increase in the production of wheat
in 1863, compared with 1810, was thirty
three per cent, and tbedecrease in the pro
duction of rye twenty-five per cent. In
iLc Fame period the avcrageyicld of wheat
per acre Increased from 13.9 to 103 bushels,
and potatoes were more largely cultivated
by thirty-four per cent.
A refereneo to official customs statistics
will show that Great Britain and her colo
nies constitute our main reliance for a
market of our surplus wheat. Few may
Ira aware bow small the quantity taken by
other countries actually is. The amount
ol wheat exported in the fiscal year ending
June 111. 1868, waa 15,940,809 bushels; of tills
but three per cent. (161,193 bushels) failed
to reach British or colonial territory. The
paucity of these exportations illustrates
the futility of attempting to grow grain to
feed the millions of Europe and Asia, as
follows: France. 2GO,763 bushels; Portu
gal, 83.190; Belgium,31,736; China, 29^83
Venezuela,23361; Peru, 20,289; Holland,
7(000; Phillippine Islauils, 1,119; Cuba, 560
Hutch West Indies, 400; Mexico, 5 bushels
—Hotel, 161,103 bushels. The practical de
duction from these figures is, that there Is
but one country in the world to which wc
can look for a market for wheat, and to
that one only for a small portion of her
supply, and that portion at prices compe
ting with the markets of the entire globe.
Tlra prices of 18C9, as compared witli
those of 1863, represent a reduction in the
aggregate sent to Great Britain of eight
mill ions of dollars. If, as is asserted, the
prices of exports control domestic prices,
the reduction of the value of the home con-
sumnllon is equivalent to far more than
Che amonnt received from the entire ex
port* of 1869, and the farmers would have
received wore money if tills surplus had
been allowed to rot. While low prices arc
not regarded as an unmlxed evil, the pres
ent depression of the wheat market is
shown to be a natural result, in part at
least, of over-production, for which farm
ers have only themselves to blame. It is
belter to have abundance than scarcity, for
the present good of consumers and tho ul
timate advantage of producers themselves;
hut when all other farm industries aro neg
lected Ibr one favorite crop, tho resultant
depression and discontent should be attrib
uted to its proper cause, and not to taxa
tion or other political influences.

Taking tho Census.
The division of the country into sab-
districts and the appointments for taking
tho census are at last completed, and the
work will be commenced Wednesday, June
1, throughout the nation.
Tho forms prepared for the purpose in
clude five schedules, a* follows:

Paris speaks a little of picratc of potash,
Greek fire, nnd fulminating shells, but the
fair sex arc not much disturbed, for the
milliners’ shops aro not mined, and tlfc
warehouses, full of spring novelties, are
bomb-proof. The aristocratic Faubourg of
St. Germain has adopted a new mourning
hood, in memory of. and called after, the
Duchess of Berry—just as formerly, when
the Porte St. Martin thcatro was burned,
the Indies patronized robes of colour de feu
—nnd the fair aristocrats, after praying for
tho repose ol the Duchess' soul, step out for
home, “like an Anduiaslan girl from mass
returning,” protected by “Jeame*,” but
follow by the eyes and sighs of the mala
sax. An attempt has been made to super
sede knots of waist ribbons, by
buckles, but bns failed, and 1 swear by
Mahomet, long robes have not become
shorter by an inch, and pouters aro as full

Washington, May 28,1870.
CONGRESS CONDENSED.
Nothing of special note in the Senate
proceedings Thursday.
Yesterday, certain amendments to the
Legislative Appropriation bill bcin..
der discussion, the Capitol-movcrs (wfio
were, on this occasion, represented by
Yates and Harlan,) got a black eye. By
a. vote of 42 to 10 an appropriation was
made for extending the Capitol-grounds.
Tho next amendment received was that
of Mr. Sumner, appropriating $100,000 for
an expedition in the interests ol scienco to
the North Pole.
Mr. Sanlsbury moved to amend the
amendment by adding u with n view of
discovering said pole, measuring it, nnd
bringing it to this country, if practicable.”
[Great laughter.]
Mr. Drake. For a liberty pole.
Mr. Sawyer. Is this expedition to pro
ceed until it discovers where the parallels
of latitndemeet? [Laughter.]
Mr. Cole said the recent Alaska treaty
with Russia had given us a kind of title to
the North Pole. The expedition would be
of much advantage to science, and would
help to open Up a great commerco for the
country. There arc immense quantities of
whales, seals, fish, etc, in that region, and
great trade Will spring up.
Mr. Patterson suggested to Mr. Saulsbury
that the North Pole could be used as a fish
ing pole, and bring in all these fish.
Mr. Sanlsbury. Or it could be used to
knock down persimmons. [Langbter.]
Mr. Howard thought wc had got whale
enough when we got Alaska, and lie did
not intend to vote for any more whales.
Some further debate ensued, in the course
of which it was stated that animal life
abounded in the Arctic regions; that proba
bly nine thousand of our citizens were en
gaged in whaling, fishing, etc., in these
waters; that from ignorance of the locality
many vessels were lost; and that among
other important advantages to inure from
the expedition would be to obtain an accu
rate knowledge of the waters.
Mr. Saulsbury then withdrew his amend
ment, and the amendment of Mr. Sumner
was concurred in by—ayes 28, nocs 25.
An amendment was also adopted, provid
ing that female clerks, counters, etc, shall
receive the samo pay ment as male3 perform'
ing similar service.
In the evening session some routine bus
iness was disposed of, and a bill passed to
provide a government for the District of
Columbia.
The House on Thursday, after fourhonr*
voting, passed tho Northern Pacific Rail'
way bill—a job of tbo hugest dimension*.
Yesterday tho House elected ono \Val-
11-00, Radical, a member from the fourth
district of South Carolina. Tho pcoplo of
the district had elected Simpson, a Demo
crat.
_ The Conference report on tho bill to en
force the Fifteenth Amendment was then
adopted by a strict party vote.
Both Houses have been lu session to-day,
and have disposed of os fair amount of bus-
the favorable indorsement and recommen
dation of Mr. Joshua Hill, who ln his in
dorsement says that ho bus known him for
many years as a reliable and worthy citizen,
and hopes that his political disabilities may
be removed by act of Congress. Mr. Hill
was a member of Congress before tho re-
bo.lion; lie sought office under a State in
hostility to the United States, and gave aid
and comfort to it* enemies; yet In a pub
lished letter he admits having twice taken
the r—t oatht Such is the record of the
gentleman whose u high patriotism ” seems
to commend itself to the favorable atten
tion of certain Senators ”
Mr. Hill is abundantly able to defend
himself, if he deems it worth Ills while to
heed the slander* of such a creature as Bul
lock. 1 have reproduced this extract prin
cipally because of its reference to another
cltlr.cn ol Georgia, known to tho readers of
The Constitution, who was assailed by
Senator Morton, not long ago, ln language
almost Identical with that now made use of
by Bullock. Their object ln this tinwar-

pondent in Canada gives the following ac
count of the battle of Trout Elver, between
thc'Fenlan invaders, under General Starr,
and the Canadians and British troops
General Starr crossed Trout River on the
morning of the 27th, and advanced with
tils command. He proceeded about 600
yards when he deployed on the right and
left of the road, his extreme right resting
on Trout River. He had not occupied this
position long when the British troops and
Canadian militia emerged from the woods
a little In front and on the other side of the
Fenians. Line of battle was at once form
ed by the British, and a sharp and steady
fire was opened on tbe Fenians.
There was at the time a small rail
fence in front of the latter, which
was immediately converted into a sort of
stockade. The Fenians, who had been told
by General Starr to keep up a steady tiro
for ten minutes, obeyed orders and stopped
the advance of tbe British. Before tbe ex
piration of ten minutes, tbe Canadian
troops, far out numbering the Fenians,
made a movement as if they intended to
flank and capture the invaders, when Gen
eral Starr formed a rear-guard and a retreat
was ordered. The British continued firi ng,
pressing the Fenians, who managed to
maintain comparatively good order until
they reached the United States line, when
a parting volley was given the British, and
tbe battle or Trout River was over.
General John H. Gleason, of Richmond.

nnd General Starr lias disappeared, as the
Fentons threatened to lynch him for his
cowardice.

“ Bullock, of Georgia, has written a let

As Joshua Hill was nn unflinching Union

of the business, Mr. John F. Coyle, who had
been applied to to act as a friend of Colonel
Hutchins, but declined to act in that capac

saw Colonel Wlnteratqjtb, a friend of Mr.

any further connection with the affair. On

DEDICATION?
Tho Decoration at Marietta.
Editors Constitution: There are associa
tions connected with tho gravo of the sol
dier which always Inspires ono with re
spect for tbe spot. Tho “resting place’”of the
soldier is, with tho brave, generous and no-
ble,hallowed ground. Hence tho announce
ment that the graves of tho Federal sol
diers would be decorated by their comrades
and friends, was regarded by the Southron
as “meet, right anti proper.” Every South
ern soldier expected that the Federal sol
dier or union man ln tbe war should deco
rate the graves of their fellow comrades
and friends, and express by their presence
nnd in befitting words, respect and honor
to their memory. Silence, respectful si
lence, was the part of the Southern man,'
for with no animosity in his heart against
the dead, there was none to speak, and the
Southern gentleman is too brave, generous
and noble to throw a straw in the way, or
give a look that would interfere in the least
with the ceremonies of such an occasion.
The predominant color was-decidedly
black. A company or more of soldiers
dressed in blue—well dressed—well be
haved— their bearing soldierly. Next came
what aro known as the carpet-baggers—
conspicnous in their demonstrations—then
their Southern confreres, and a sorry look
ing set they seemed. We think the Federal
soldier was ashamed of his company—and
we do verily believe that if the dead could
have risen, they would havo kicked them
off the ground. To • get a crowd—nobody
did it, but tbe darker heard that ho would
have to pay a fine of forty dollars if he
worked on tho “30th ” or failed to be pres
ent—and if he went he would have a free
ride and good dinner. The dinner didn’t
come. The butcher was out of meat and
the baker not at home. There was also
quite a crowd of white boys. They chuck
led over a free ride on the road—but cussed
their traveling companions.
The deportment of the Federal soldiers
was such on this occasion as to command
the respect of all.
be exhausted, if not a self-generator, and
an examination of the original articles
will show that Governor J.’s name was
never directly nor indirectly connected by
the writer with fitting up the mansion.
If tho appropriation was Improper, then
tbe Legislature was to blame; and the
writer did not even assert tills much, but
merely suggested that the people who were
then begging bread ln Kentucky would
complain.
While on this subject, allow me to con-
S ratntote you for being selected by R. B.
>. to replenish his exchequer. If exposing
rascality be slander, then well may you
say, with Patrick Uehry, “If this bo
treason (or slander), mako tho most of
It”—mako $25,000 out of it. In twenty-
four hours tbe State of Georgia will con
tribute enough to pay tho amount recov
ered of you. Indeed, tho widow’s mlto
will pay It and leave enough to pay
Blodgett A Co. for foturo slander, and then
three-fourths will bo loft.
My doar sir, listen to Blackstone, and
thank God If you havo met tho require
ments of his definition (oxccpt "false”):
Slander—“A falsotalo, tending to Injure
tho reputation of another by lessening him
in tho esteem of bis fcllow-cltlzcns, (lessen
tho millionth part of zero 1) by exposing
him to Impeachment, (there’s tuo rub. you
wicked Constitution!) or by impairing
Ills means of living.”
If you oxposo It. B. B. to impeachmont,
you shall bo tho noxt Governor! Alas, for
tho English languhgot which forbids that
you do tho subject Justice. Tho Leviathan
has' sunk so deep that fathom lino can
never reach him.
Horaoo tells us that" punishment rarely,
though slow offoot, ceases to pursue the
criminal who runs bofore,” and ’tls consol
ing to reflect that tho history of tbo world
teaches retrlbutivo justice; His consoling
to know that Romo’s cruelty to Carthago
was repaid by the Vandals; that though
Nero imprisoned tho great Apostle to the
Gentiles, (Paul) and executed him, Chris
tianity lives, while the Crosars aro dead,
and thclrerown the plaything of Europe.
Tls consoling to all oppressed nations to
know that Pharaoh’s tyranny ovor Goil’e
chosen pcoplo met its reward in tho depths
of the Red Sea, while Israel shouted in
triumph on the eastern shore. Tls consol
ing to know that while Bolsbazzar .was
desecrating tbe sacred vessels of silver and
gold, stolen from the holy Temple of bis
father Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon,
that, in tho very hour of debauchery, tho
handwriting blazoned on the wall—“ Mcne,
Mono, tekcl, upharism.” And oh! may wo
not hope that, while unprincipled men are
feasting on the plunder’ of nn oppressed
cople, while Butler, and Bullock, aud
lodgctt, and all tho graceless hirelings
who plot tbo rain of our beloved State, sip
their wine from stolen goblets, and cat
their luxuries at Washington from spoons
stolenatNcw Orleans, that tho judgment
of Heaven awaits them, and though long
delayed, will surely come and reward them
with Belshazzar’s doom.
With the best wishes for success in bat

The Van Wert ltailroad and the
State Hoad.
Editors Constitution: The charter of
the Cartcrsville and Van Wert Railroad
makes it the duty of the Superintendent
of the State Road to famish the Carters-
ville and Van Wert Road with cars, motive
power nnd such other assistance as may be
agreed upon between the Superintendents
of the roads—inasmuch as the Cartcrsville
and Van Wert Railroad will be a very great
feeder to the State Road.
The Cartcrsville and Van Wert Road
agreed with the former Superintendent,
tiiat the material transported over the State
Road in constructing the Cartcrsville and
Van Wert Road should bo at one-half
price, but has been promptly paid at full
prices., The State Road promised to loan
sufficient ties to lay the track to the river,
as there were no ties to be had on the line
ol the road till after passing tbe river. This
is only what was done for the Air-Line,
and is common all over tbe country, for an
old road to extend courtesies and render
assistance to new roads being built as feed
ers to the old. Of course the ties are to be
returned, nnd the contractors become per
sonally responsible to tbo Btate Road for
the return of tbo tics or payment. The
Cartcrsville and Van Wert Railroad has
THU WASHINGTON'HUTCHINS
AFFAJH.
Tito Fact* lit tlio Mutter.
" Z,” tlio Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Gazette, gives tho following
statement of tho facts concerning tho re
coct proposed duel botwoon L. Q. Wash
ington, Eiqn correspondent of tho Now
York World, and Colonol B. T. Hutchins,
at present of Georgia, and which affair
caused to much osoltemont In Washington
circles. Tlio writer says:
There have been so many misstatements
of tho late difficulty between Mr. L. Q
Washington and Colonel Benj. T. Hutch
ins, that I deem It proper briefly to state
tlio actual facts. The quarrel began by
Colonel Hutchins undertaking to speak to
Mr. Washington, with whom ho had
no acquaintance, and urging tbo dlsfrsn
chfsemcnt and military enslavement
of tho Southern pcoplo. Mr. Wash
tngton answered by saying that if he had
bis way “lie would bang him; that be did
not know lilm, and did not want to know
him." Hutchins seemed desirous to bandy
words .further, but as the affair occurred in
tbe Senate gallery, Mr. Washington declin
ed further conversation, feeling also that
be had said enough to Indicate his own po
sition. Colonel Hutchins, a few moments
after, laid a pencil note upon Mr. Washing
ton’s tabic, informing him that be should
hear from him, and the next day addressed
a note requesting an explanation of tbe re
marks which, without specifying, he de
scribed generally us "personal.” Mr. Wash
ington answered him, stating that he did
not recognize the right of any one, especi
ally a stranger, to address remarks to him
which necessarily reflected upon himself
and the Southern people, and that when
Tlio Washington Chronicle and
Governor BuUock.
For the edification of the organ, wo re
produce a neat, wcll-oxecuted summary of
the part played in the Georgia matter by
the Washington Chronicle. As it comes
from high Radical authority, the Chicago
Tribune, tho most influential Republican
journal in tho great Northwest, wo hope
it won’t hurt the organ’s feclings,and doubt
not that its political orthodoxy will bo
admitted. No heretical Democratic Ku-
Klux fathers this tidy and taking synopsis
of tho matter. It is no political bastard,
but is legitimate in the highest degree:
This is tbe exhibit made by the testi
mony. The inference is that (Ac Chronicle
was to manufacture public opinion for Gov
ernor Bullock, and to be paid for it. The at
tempt to patch upan account forwork done,
to cover the amount of money drawn from
tho Georgians, wan a weak device, and it
failed at the first question. Forney’s refusal
to show his books; his previous prepara
tion of a statement purporting to boa faith
ful copy; tho enforced production of the
books, and the disclosure of their altera
tion, exhibit a state of fads utterly dis
graceful to journalism. ln the light of these
disclosures, the thrilling editorials pointing
out the masterly statesmanship, logical
force, and tho pure Republicanism of the
speeches which were published at 25 cents
a line, were very flat in the first place, and
must now seem still more so to the Sena
tors whose speeches were thus presented.
The unusual patriotism of the Chronicle t'n
the matter of the Georgia bill; the fervid seal
it exhibited in protecting the rights and in
terest* of the loyal people of that State; the
burning eloquence with which it annihilated
the Edmundses, the Carpenters, the Thtm-
bulls, and the Fenrys,it now appears cost
25a50 cents per line, or in atl $3,508 50.
But that is not the worst of it. The al
teration of the books, and the preparation
of false statements, show that Air. Forney
teas ashamed of what he had done, and
sought to conceal the facts. He must have
known, when lie was summoned before the
committee, that lie would be required to
tell what be got the money for. Being re
quired to tell that he had charged Governor
Bullock for printing the speeches of Sena
tors Morton and. Thayer, and Representa
tives Whlttcmorc, Butler, etc., It was
tuo line.
No bonds, money, or other things be
longing to tbo State, havo been used by tho
Cartcrsvlllo and Van Wort Road, except
cars and engines, which-havo all been paid
for. In short, tho State ltoad has not been
able, with tho press of business it has bad,
to lend anything like the asslstanco to tho
Cartorevilfo anti Van Wert Road os that
company had reason to expect, from tho
promises mndo by Colonel Uulbert, and
not as much ae is usually extended under
like circumstances.
A CAltD FKOM JHK. TUGGLE.
Governor Jenkins and tlio Ito-fur-
nlMlilu# tlio Exccutlvo Mansion.
Editors Constitution: In March, 1660, being
in Milledgcvlile during the session of tho
Legislature, tho writer used tho following
Inngtiago In a letter to tlio LaGrangc Re
porter : “An Impoverished, over-taxed peo
ple will complain at such Items as 820.000
for ro’furnlslilng tho Executive Mansion,
while more Important appropriations aro
ignored."
On the 27th instant, an article appeared in
tlio Now Era, ovor tho namo of "A Friend of
Governor Jenkins,” referring to a certain
letter of" Fair Flay" In 1800. This letter of
"Fair Flay" was folly answered by tho
writer at tlio time, In March, I860. But “A
Friend of Governor J.” assort* that "a cor
respondent of tbe LaGrango Reporter” at
tempted to connect Governor J. with tbo
820,000 appropriation.
Hols misinformed. A joint commlttco
from the Senate aud lloii^o appointed a
sub-committee, who, during tho recess,
made out a list of needed articles which
were ordered through a merchant visiting
New York. Tbo Legislature was surprised
at tho prices charged, but paid tlio bill, 'as
tho articles were bought on tho credit ef
tbe State. Tbe writer knew that tbe Leg
islature alone were responsible, as thoy
made tlio appropriation to pay tbo bill con
tracted imlircctiy by their joint committee.
Governor J. neither made the bill nor paid
It. Tho only regret tbe writer has Is that
bis letter is misquoted, and this quotation
is used against the Christian gentleman,
and pure statesman, whom every true
Georgian delights to honor, Governor
Charles J. Jenkins, and is also indirectly
used to sustain tbe illegal plunderings of
U. B. BuUock, whom every true Geor-,
gian delights to dishonor. The flrst wore a
robe as spotless as the mantle of Elijah,
and will be embalmed in tbe lovo of his
people; the latter wears a robe dripping
with tilth from the cess-pools of Washing
ton, and will be “ embalmed in his own in

Georgian.

About itailroatl*.
Tho surveyors of tho Chicago, Danville
and Vincennes railroad havo finally com-
plctad tho location of that road.
Tho Western Union road has concluded,
under certain contingencies, to construct a
bridge across tho Mississippi at Havannn to
babuls, so that trains can go from Dubuquo
to Mllwatikeo without chango of cars.
Track it laid on tbo St. Louis and In
dlanapoll* Railroad a distance of ton miles
east or Grocneutle, and about two miles
cost of Danville, leaving a gap of only
about icvon miles remaining to complete
tho road from tho former place to Indian
apolis.
It is said Hint tho railroad lobbyists In
Washington havo not loss than l'lflOOflQQ
ofaores.of tho publle lauds In chancory,
and wifi pocket them If their schomo can
Iks crowded through Congrosi; and this
oxcluslvo of grants to State* for education
al and othor purposes. Tho estimate It a
moderate one.
Tho emu mission of Russian engineers
who lately visited England for tho purpose
of ecclng Mr. FWrllo's narrow-gauge rail
way plan, and tbo Festlnlng railway where
bis engines aro at work, have, according to
tho Iron and Coal Trades Review, reported
strongly In favor of tho system. They re
commend It to bo adopted for a portion of
tho railway between Ht. Petersburg!! and
Moscow, and estimate tho cost of construc
tion at about 4)1,609 per mllo.
Tho Now York Central Railroad has,
among it* other appointments for pnhtlo
convenience, a special car designed for
tbo transportation of valuablo horses. Its
Interior is divided into two box-stalls,
fixed up with all tho appointments neces
sary to complete equine luxury. This oar
Is attached only to express trains for tbe
accommodation of horsemen ablo to pay
for tho safe and speedy transportation of
their pets.

Tbo “ Sleeping Heauty ” of Ten
nessee—A iteinarkablo Case.
A correspondent of tho Louisvillo Com
mercial, writing from Union City, Tennes
see, gives tho following Interesting partic
ulars of tho celebrated “Sleeping Beauty,”
of Tennessee, whom ho recently visited:
So much has already been written in re
gard to the lady known horo as tlio “ bleep
ing Beauty,” that I can scarcely hope to
gtvo you anything new, but will add my
testimony to that already given, and make
you a plain statement of foots sal know
them from her mother, brother and friends
who now have her In ebargo In tho same
house In which 1 am stopping, and from
which 1 am now writing to you, Miss
Susan Caroilno Uodsay was born In Obion
county, Tennessee, aud within ten miles of
this city, of poor but rcipcctablo parents.
Her father ha* boon dead for over twolvo
years. Her mother still lives and watches
over her lovod child, and tho eunken ayea
and furrowed brow stiow very plainly the
trials and sorrows sho ba* exporluneed
In her duty for twenty-one yean, bho is
very poor, and, to somo extent, dependent
upon tho contributions of visitors Pi take
caro of mid procure proper supplies for tier
clmrgo.
Mlsi Uodsay was taken slok when about
four year* of age, witli what was supposed
to be chills and fovor, but which balliod
thoskll! of nurses and physicians fur more
than two years, at which time she fell into
t nervous sloop, from which sho lias not
awoko sinoe for a longer tlmo than twelve
minutes. She usually slcopi soundly from
eleven o'cloek at night until about six
In tbo morning, and through the day
awakes about onco an hour. Her waking
spoils aro never of loss then four nor raoro
than twelve, but usually about tlx minutes
duration. In hor waking moments she
speaks both pleasantly and Intelligently,
answer* promptly any qnostlons asked
her, and appears quite happy aud content-
One of tlio strangest points of this
strange case is the seemingly total abscnco
or anything like respiration. A piece of
the finest polished glass held to her lips
falls to discloso tlio slightest traoe or
breath. Her pulso is perfectly still, and
but for a nervous or tremulous motion
of the body, which never ceases, you
might at any time call her deatl. Sho has
grown during her alllictiou from a little
child to about the average height of her
sex, and weighs ninety-six pounds, and
although her body and hands show her
very poor in flesh, her lace is full and
smooth, and her features well developed-
Indued, such a rare style do liur features
portray- tiiat shu is not inappropriately
called tho Sleeping Beauty of Tennessee.
