The Crops and Their Influences.
From the New York Times !
One of the great Ministers of France
—I believe Cardinal Mnzarin—used to
give excellent dinners, from which all
the guests came away pleased. It was
observed that just before dinner the
Cardinal always retired a few minutes.
No one knew what he retired for, and
after observing it was a constant prac
tice, there was great curiosity to know
what wits the cause. Some were quite
sure, the Cardinal, as a dignitary of
the Church, employed himself in some
solemn devotion. Others thought that
he was engaged in getting up some
facts or stories to enliven the conversa
tion, in which the brilliant Minister ex
celled. Others thought there was a
vow upon him which required some
thing to he done at that hour. In vain
were attempts made to find out through
the servants. The Cardinal had cul off
all communication. But human curi
osity is insatiable, and at last, by means
of a spy, the mystery of the Minister
was ferretted out. The Cardinal was
discovered in the great kitchen, with a
linen cloth under his cbiu and a spoon
i:i his band, tasting the soups and other
meats. Tell it not in Gath, nor yet in
the streets of Askelon ; but the great
Minister was tasting for the cook ! In
one word the Cardinal believed, that
the way to men's hearts was down their
throats, as the misantbropes tell us the
way to women’s hearts, is through their
ears. Vulgar and vile as this view of
human nature is, it is nevertheless, as
the novelists say, founded in fact.
Humau nature is not kindly under the
influence of a hungry stomach.
To extend this figure to a large coun
try —a people who have lost a large part
of their crops, and find trade declined
and incomes narrowed, are not apt to
be in good humor with public affairs.
If there is the least chance to do it,
they will blame the Government, and if
any man comes forward with any
attempt to defend existing policy or
any proposition to conciliate enemies,
he will be regarded as a criminal, upon
whom the public bad temper will in
stantly seize. The European dynastic
Governments have understood this well,
and hence throw a tub to the whale,
and, if need be, buy bread for the
people. In this country, where the
people look to themselves as the source
of power, there is a self restraint upon
the temper, excited by public disap
pointments, and few will blame the
Government for what it could not avoid.
Nevertheless we see something of this
in our owu public affairs; and the
influence of good crops will probably be
felt in the close of 1867 in a kindly and
beneficial way.
In 1866, almost all crop3 suffered
severe loss. Indian corn alone (the
great and reliable staple of this country),
saved the people of the South from star
vation, and the whole country Irom much
severer losses. In the great Centra!
States Indian corn was abundant, and
hence they did not feel the losses of
1866 so much ; but when the Assessors’
returns were made in May, it was found
that incomes had declined greatly. If
we had another such year, the resources
of the country would be sorely tried ;
but (let us be thankful!) the year 1867
(without a miracle hereafter) entirely
reverses all this. The crops of 1867, in
all departments, are likely to be abun
dant. Taken in the aggregate, they will
probably exceed any ever raised in this
country. The Agricultural Department
(not usually very accurate), admits that
there is a vast increase, and every trav
eller can observe it in all parts of the
country. I observed that new wheat
has been sold in Richmond at $2.60
per bushel, and, with our currency, it is
not likely to tall under $2 per bushel.
Even with much lower prices, the wheat
crop will bring a good deal more money
than it did in 1866. The same will be
true of Cotton.- But this is only a half
view of the case. Suppose the cereal
crops bring only the same money— v.
double crop brings us two consequences
of great value; first, an abundant, cheap
food for the laborer; and, secondly, a
great surplus for exportation. When
the laborer is well off, the country is
well off. Labor will be cheaper while
it is better fed, and accomplishes more.
The country depends on its production.
The merchants of New York think the
country is best off when it buys most
goods ; but it can’t buy goods when it
don’t produce. A surplus production in
the interior is the great reservoir of
wealth to the merchants.
I don’t believe the crops of 1867 will
per se be very extraordinary—that is, 1
don’t believe the average per acre will
be very extraordinary—but, relatively,
they will be extraordinary* For, we
must remember, that such great agri
cultural Slates its Ohio, Indiana, and
Kentucky have, with one or two exeep
tions, had inferior crops for several
years. Then remember that for the
three last years of the war we averaged
(in the whole country) a million of men
in arms.' The loss of this labor was the
only great loss we met; but that was
very great. Now, we have the whole
manual force of the country at work;
and the effect on production will be
prodigious. 1 see statements made that
here and there the breadth of land
sowed is less. lam no believer in this
taken on a broad scale. VV lint is
wanting in one article is made up in
another. In the whole country together,
there is an increased ({uantity of land
sown, and an increased number ol
laborers. I think the absolute money
value of the crops will be four hundred
millions of dollars greuter than in
1866; amt the power of exportation
much greuter in proportiofi, because it
is the surplusses which are increased.
Two effects of increased exportation
will follow. Wo shall have increased
importations, and an increased gold
revenue. Gold will probably fall con
siderably in the autumn of 1807, and
financiers will find that the shortest road
to specie payment* is through good
crop*.
Republican* are very well satisfied
wilh the course of events. Unless they
have a special desire to commit suicide,
they will remain in power till their
mission i* accomplished : they will
elect the next President; bring in the
Southern States ; settle the finances and
harmonise the country. When that is
done, what more is to do, for this gene
ration? New parlies will arise on new
issues; but that will not be till the
mission of the Republican Party is
accomplished. It was a glorious mis
sion, one worthy of our day and race.
It was to brush away the last vestige of
human slavery ; to plant a Democratic
Government on Democratic institutions,
and to make the Christian idea of
Christian brotherhood the prevalent
idea in the greatest empire in the world.
So far our work is well done. Let us
not undo it by overdoing it.
W’hen the Southern States would not
accept the mild and kind amendment to
the Constitution, which left them at full
liberty to treat negro suffrage as they
please, what could the Republican party
do but what was done? The country
demanded restoration if it could be
reasonably done, but would never con
sent to restore rebels to power. The
case was precisely that of the old man
with the boy up the apple tree. We
first scolded, then we threw grass, and
we had nothing left but to throw stones.
We did, and the boys were coming down
the tree pretty fast, when the Adminis
tration gets up in the last /dux pas and
the boys stop coming down. Now,
Congress must let these boys know that
the stones are to be thrown, and they
must come down. But we do not pro
pose to throw any poisoned arrows or to
deprive them of food, or to treat them
any worse than foolish and obstinate
boys ought to be treated. Let Congress
say exactly what they mean Gen. Sher
idan shall do, and nothing else. Let
them keep their temper, use no harsh
words, but only firmness. This is the
year in which the American people
mean to be good humored, and it will
be a happy thing for our Southern
people if they will be good humored
too ; aud let us all remember that amid
the calamities of war and the follies of
peace there is a kind God above us, who
“ From seeming evil educes good.”
A Veterax Observer.
NEWS SUMMARY.
The London Times, in denying “ that
in determining to suppress the insurrec
tion, Mr. Lincoln never contemplated
the final abolition of Slavery," makes
the common mistake of overstating a
matter which has a basis of truth. The
fact with regard to Mr. Lincoln is that,
at the outset, he did not consider the
primary aim of the war to be the abo
lition of slavery ; that at the outset he
would have preferred the Union with
Slavery to that disunion which is
another name for anarchy ; and that it
was not clear to him or anybody else, at
first, that the war would continue until
slavery had perished. But to aver that
Mr. Lincoln “ never contemplated the
final abolition of slavery,” is not only
to contradict a hundred of his own
public speeches, but to say that he
alone, of Northern statesmen, was
blind to that doom of slavery which for
thirty years has been written up on the
sky for all men to read. The hour had
not come, at the outbreak of the war,
for the downfall of slavery. Mr. Lin
coln was always in the front rank of
the people, but was aligned with them,
neither ahead of nor behind his coun
trymen.—N. V. Times.
A Woman Burned to Death. —Mrs.
Annie Swift, a married woman, came to
her death recently in St. Louis, in a
shocking manner. At about 10 o’clock,
her husband kindled a fire in the char
coal furnace, and placing a pot upon it,
sat it near the back door, and went to
church, leaving his wife alone in the
house. A short time after his departure,
Mr. Denis Byrne, living near by, smelt
something burning, and on opening the
door of Mr. Swift’s room, found it filled
with smoke, and Mrs. Swift lying
senseless upon the floor. Her clothing
was nearly all burned off, and her body,
face, and limbs were burned in a terri
ble manner. A lounge in the room was
partially burned, caused, doubtless, by
the woman rolling upon it in her efforts
to extinguish the fire upon her person.
The deceased had no children.— St.
Louis Democrat.
A Sad Occurrence. —A sad catas
trophe has occurtel near Perrysburg,
111. Three little children, named Har
per, who had been out berrying, did not
return, and it was feared that they had
gone into the river and met their death
—a fear that afterward proved to be
too true. When the first cannon was
fired at Perrysburg. on the morning of
the 4th, and while Mr. Harper was
standing on the bank of the river,
looking in the direction of the spot
where his lost children were thought to
have gone down, he saw the bodies of
his three little boys rise to the surface,
locked together in the cold embrace of
death.
When cock fighting was in fashion, a
gentleman having a match on in the
country, gave two cocks in charge to
bis Irish servant to carry down. Pat
put them together into a bag, on open
ing which on his arrival he was not a
little surprised to find one of them dead
and the other terribly wounded. Being
scolded by his master for putting them
into the same bag, he said, he did not
think there was any danger of their hurt
ing each other, as they were going to
fight on the same side.
At a public high school examination
in Philadelphia, on Friday, the follow
ing, among other questions, was asked :
“I have a sum of money which I find lean
spend for bonnets at sls each, shawls
$25 each, dresses at $35, cloaks nt $45
each, on furs at SIOO each, and have
nothing remaining in each case —how
much money have 17 This was de
signed as a hit at the extravagance of
the times in female apparel.
—The Natchitoches Times, of the
6th, says it is inclined to believe the
reports in reference to the depredations
of the locusts, as they have made their
appearance on Tiger Island, near Clou
tierville, in that parish ; one planter
having lost already forty acres of Cot
ton, and another' having had several
cuts entirely ruined by them.
—The New York Herald of Saturday
estimates the loss of the Treasury annu
ally at the enormous sum of two hun
dred million, and says that it occurs in
this way: by the failure to collect the
lax on whiskey, tobacco, and petroleum.
It also asserts that there is a heavy
drainage through the national banks
and the frauds and incapacity of the
revenue officers.
—Authentic information, it is said,
has been received that the letter, or
proclamation, purporting to have been
issued by Kscobedo, against foreigners,
is a forgery.

Wheat, —The Rome Courier of Tues
day last, says that wheat has advanced
in that market in the hut five days. On
the Islh a good article of red would
readily command $1.85, and white $2.
One fancy lot of white sold for $2.25.
The Vann’s Valley Crops.— The
Rome Courier says it would do almost
any one good to see the growing corn
between Rome aud Cave Spring. The
prospect of a large crop hat seldom, if
ever, been better. The Cotton is gen
erally small, but clean and thrifty.
Affray. —An altercation took place
last week on the plantation of Mr.
Overstreet, in Jefferson county, between
Abram Spann and Henry Clements,
both colored, which resulted in the

Drowned. —We learn from the Mil
ledgeville Union, that Jefferson Ed
wards, son of Mr. M. E. Edwards, of
that city, a lad of eleven or twelve years
of age, was drowned in the Oconee
river on Thursday last. He went in
bathing with a number of boys about
his own age, and getting beyond his
depth, in swift water, was drowned
before assistance could reach him.
Dooly Ahead. —A correspondent to
the Macon Telegraph gives the palm to
Dooly county. He says : “On the 11th
day of July, 1867, Mrs. Sallie Royal,
wife of Mr. H. D. Royal, gave birth to
three daughters. AH of them are living
aud doing well. Mr. and Mrs. Royal
have been married two years, and have
four daughters, not one of whom can
walk alone. Hurrah for Dooly I”
The Deaf and Dumb Asylum at
Cave Spring. — We are glad to learn
that this charitable institution of the
State is in a prosperous condition. It
is now vacation time. Twenty six
pupils were in attendance last term.
Previous to the war the highest average
attendance for any term was forty six.
Twenty threo new applications have
already been made for the next term—
which commences on the first Monday
in September—and it is believed there
will then be fifty pupils in all. —Rome
( Ga.) Courier.
A young gentleman, or an elderly
one, after having paid his addresses to
a lady lor some time, “popped the ques
tion.” The lady, in a frightened man
ner, said, “You scare me, sir.” The
gentleman did not wish to frighten the
lady, and consequently remained quiet
for some time, when she exclaimed,
“Scare tne again.”
