Tim montlily report of the Deportment of Ag
riculture at Washington City, dated the 80th
of .Inly laat, ami for Hint month, which is now
before us, through tiro kind attention ofllio Act
ing Commissioner or that Department, eipbraces
mueli valuable, statistical ami other information,
as the following extracts from the report will
allow:
CONDITION ON NAUM CHOPS IN ,IUt.Y.
Never has the department been able to report
so favorable a prospect lor uuitorrolv good crops
hincu the establishment of the statistical division.
While exaggerated statements have been made
in influential papers, especially of the so-called
(allure of tlio wheat crop of last year, and the
importation ot wheal, ir, the face of the fact that
twelve millions of dollars’ worth of brcadstulis
were exported in the lirst four months of 1807,
immense numbers of immigrants were led, a
much larger amount of wheat used for seed than
usual, with a surplus still remaining over sufll-
cient to break numerous speculators and several
banks, it is gratifying to know that we shall have
a surplus to more than make good the deficiency
—not the “ failure,” for there never was a failure
of tiro wheat crop in this country—of the last
three crops of wheat. Four States—West Vir
ginia, Kentucky, Ohio and Iudinua— made hut
about half a crop. No oilier States were in that
category, and Iowa, Missouri and Kansas made
a good crop. Iustcad of a deduction of fifty per
cent., or ninety millions of bushels, which would
at least have threatened a lamino, scarcely more
than a third of that deduction should be’ made.
For three years past the product lias been hut
about five onshels to each inhabitant.. The crop
ot 18,19, If the census returns nro corrcci, was
but live and a half bushels to eacli person. The
promise for the present year is about six bushels.
Wheat.—Tlie statistical returns for July show
an improvement in condition of wintor wheat
over last year, in every Suito but Texas, Nebras
ka and Minnesota, the diminuition in the latter
ease being but 4 per cent. The highest im
provement is in Ohio, ICO per cent.; Georgia,
915; West Virginia, 78; Tennessee, 72; Indiana,
54; Kentucky, 58 ; Michigun, 35; Vermont, 25;
New Jersey, 25; New York, 17, &c. Spring
wheat was a lar leas variable product last year,
and there is consequently less variation in the
present comparison. All the States, however,
except Vermont, New York and Pennsylvania,
show an increase on last year.
Corn.—The acreage in corn is unusually large
every State sliowing a material increase, except
Maine, New Hampshire, New York, and South
Carolina. In the Southern States the increase
ranges upwards to 102 per cent,, as in Arkansas
The condition, as reported, is a little deficient in
the Northern nud Western States, on account ol
the lateness of the spring. With the Continuance
of the present weather there is ample opportu
nity to make up the entire deficiency, in which
ease the yield will be unprecedented.
Rye.-A glance at the tables will show the
fine condition of this grain, and the remarkable
uniformity of the improvement.
■ Barley. The condition of this grain promises
an increase ot from ten to twenty per cent., in
Massachusetts, Ilhode Island, Connecticut, New
Jersey, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Indiana
and 42 per cent in Ohio. Most ol the other
States show 9ome increase.
Oats —The condition of oats points to a full
average in the West, particularly in Wisconsin
and Minnesota, also in Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, and the South •
slightly less than last year in Maine, Vermont!
New York, and Kentucky.
Pastures and Hay.—These crops are almost
universally large, from an average up to 15, 21)
and oveu 8J) per cent, above.
Potatoes.—The report of acreage of potatoes
indicates a larger area planted iu every State,
except Maine and New \ ork. The condition is
also above an average with a few exceptions,
among which are New York, Ohio, and Indinua.
Fruits.—Peaches nre so exceptional in their
successful seasons and localities that estimates
for States cau scarcely be made witli accuracy.

"JOB JOHNSTON.
“ Joseph K. Johnston had a great deal of the
military spirit that pervaded tlie corps, and
which was infused by Major Worth., lie was
not remarkable for lifs studious habits, and be
longed to a last set, of which I myself was an
active member. Few of that set escaped arrest,
oontlnmcnt and court martini. Joe Johnston
was one of those genial spirits that gave test
to a cadet’s life. Fttll of ambition - ami a desire
to excel, ho was yet ever ready to join a scout
ing party to Buttermilk Falls, tlie residence of
the immortal Benney Havens. His appearance
wns very military, and when under arms no
man looked more tlie soldier. Ho was very
Xpert iu tlie manual of arms, and carried his
musket so perpendicular that it leaned a little
too much to tlie front. Though we recognized
his talents then, we little dreamed lie had tlie
military genius lie lias since displayed as a
commander.
"JOHN H, MAORUDEIt.
“My ohi friend and classmate, Jno B. Magru-
grt dor, w is perhaps the most elegant and dintin-
r/iie c.i. et at the Academy, In that day, and I do
not behvc West Point has ever had hia equal.
He was a first-rate soldier, of flue appearance,
ami very strict when on duty as "oftlcer oi tlie
day," never tailing to report the slightest viola
tion of regulations, even though the delinquent
was the most intimate friend and room-mate.
This trait in his character I have reason to know
from personal experience. John was lor the
corps the “arbiter of things elegant, tlie glass of
fhahiou.”

Cotton.—There is an increase of acreage in

Texas, 10.1; Mississippi, 0.4; Louisiana, 8 1.—
The average is about the same as last year. There
is a slight difference, ns reported, in favor of the
present crop. Tlie department estimates made
last October, of 1,835,000 hales, proved to be !
singularly accurate for approximate calculations i
of so early a date, though they were severely
criticised by Northern and Southern speculators, -
some of whom publicly acknowledged their er
ror after the crop was sold. It is too early t >l
predict the successful avoidance of all the mime- I
rous enemies of cotton. Had the last crop been I
a good one it would have yielded2,500,000hales; I
a very good one would have realized 3,000,000. !
Such results are possible tlds year.
Wool.—An examination of this item ol tlie ta
llies will bIiow that losses of sheep, unthrifty |
condition, and a wet spring Imvohad an influence |
both upon numbers and weight ot lleece, and
will lead to tlie conclusion that our wool clip of I
the present year is not materially larger tliuu !
tliut ol last year.

"Leonidas Polk, tall and straight as an arrow,
was the orderly sergeant of my company. Scru
pulously strict in the discharge ol his duties, re-
t ring in his manners, and a devout member,

"Robert E. Lee held the two offices in tlie
corps usually filled by llte best soldiers of the
class—sergeant-major and adjutant. He dis
charged the duties of these offices with zeal
and fidelity. His personal appearance surpassed
in manly beauty tiial of any other cadet in
the corps. Though firm ill his position, and
perfectly erect, lie had none of tlie stiffness
so often assumed by men who affect to be
very strict in their ideas of wlie.t is military.
His limbs, beautiful and symmetrical, looked as
though they hail .gome lrotn a turning lathe; his
step was as clastic as if lie spurned tlie ground
upon which he trod. He was noted auioug his
classmates as a great student, and as having
pissed through the- trying ordeal ot a military
school without a single demerit mark. (I gene

Bob Lee's stay at West Point, I am satisfied that

as if he did. Mason was In Lee’s class, and In-
telleclually had no superior at the Point. How

adding my testimony iu favor ot its entile adaptation to
the wants of a cotton plantation It has surpassed my
most sanguine expeettons. 1 have packed with hut two
hands, yet I prefer four—two at each lever. My hales all
weighed over 500 pounds. The first lot I sent to market
averaged 562 pounds. My Impression Is, that 500 pounds
Is about the capacity of the Press, ami a greater number
of pounds subject the follow-block to too much risk, un
less the sides of the cotton box was Increased. It would
add greatly to the value of the Press II the cotton box
was ten Inches longer. Iu haste, I am, very respectfully,
your obedient servant, &c.,
B. W. LAWTON.
p. S.—I took my Press down and carried it some four
miles to pack the crop or a neighbor, who failed to have
a "screw” built, lie was so much pleased that helms

Gentlemen: I have just received your letter of Feb
ruary upon my return to tins place, after an absence of
two months—and this reply may he too late for your
"Descriptive Circular of Ingersalf’s Cotton Press.”
The press 1 used in packing toy cotton last year worked
admirably, packing, with ease, 60U to 525 pounds. With
good active hands to work it, 1 mu satisfied that from
eighteen to twenty bales might readily he packed in a
day.
This Press combines the advantages of lightness, and
consequent portability ami simplicity, being easily man
aged by any one of ordimtry intelligence. Great
