Among the documents that accompanied
th$ President's message os its transfSMon.
to Cosgreas waa tbe report of the Com mis.
■loner of Agriculture, which bean date No
vember ?0tb. The ,following extract, wflf
be found interesting: ! ,
A reference to the condition of. the chops
of 1866 may properly be made at this lime,
though it is too early to obtain completdre-
tnrns ol com and cotton and a few other
products. • j
Tbe regularly monthly crop returns of the
statistical division of this Department have
hitherto included only the States east ot the
Rocky .Mountains and- north of Virginia,.
Tennessee and Arkansas. Hereafter all iwill
be included, except the Pacific Stales, from'
which returns cannot lie received, in scasdD
to go into current jnonitfly exhibits with! tbe
other States. Due attentfon will be given,
however, to tbe colleotiou of agricultural
statistics of these new, productive and pro
gressive States, with their peculiar and'ex
ceptional indust)leg, from which so much is
expected in the future development of the
country’s resources. J
The wheat crop of 1863 in the twenty-two
Stctes reported was very large; ip 1804, tae
estimate was, in roupd numbers, 13,000,000
bushels le&s, or 160,000,000; In ; 805,148,000,-'
000; and the present estimate is still further
reduced to 143,000,000. Returns from, the
eleven Southern States, so far as received,
warrant an estimate of 17,000,000 for ithat
section. Texas has produced a large crop;
the other Southern States less than half the
average product. The crop of the Pacific,
States is very heavy, leaving a tar greater
surplus for export than the entire amount.of.
the crop of 1860. Prom all tbe data received
in the Department ihe total amount of wheat
produced in 1866 may be estimated at 180,-
000,000 bushels. The crop of 1859 was 173,-
060,000, and that of the present year, at the
ratio ot increase from 1850 to 1860, should
have reached 242,000,000. The supply is
about five bushels to each inhabitant, or hall
a bushel less than in 1859.
The corn crop is moderately large in quan
tity, but deficient in quality, and may he es
timated at 880,000,000 bushels, about 40,000,-
000 more than that of 1859. it would have
been an excessive product bat for the re
tarding influence of cool and rainy weather,
and the consequent damage by frost si In
some Southern Slates a very small yield is
reported, while in Texas the quantity i'simore
than au average. In the Northwestern
States the injury from early frosts was severe
While there will be a sufficiency of todd'for
man, the supplies for the domestic animals
will be unnsually abundant. The hay crop,
slightly deficient in some sections, is large in
others, and ot more than average quality,-and
the estimated total product o? oats is sixty
per cent, greater than in 1859. The products
of gardens and the yield of potatoes; aud
other roots are also in excess of former years.-

The cotton crop has suffered from 'labor*- edition, such persou may pmy the one-thir<l doe on
be mude,
derangements, alternate rains and droughts,
insects, and the previous neglected' condi
tion of the lands. Before the picking com.:
menced, the indications, from official data,'
pointed to somewhat more than one.-tinrd
of the crop of 18S9. Ravages of insects and
other causes have since rendered probable
a reduction to 1,750,000 bales Of 400 pounds
each.
A special effort has been made to secure
an estimate of the farm stock of the South
for 1866. Returns have been sufficiently full
to warrant a preliminary estimate with some
degree of confidence, which would give a re
sult, in comparison with the census of' 1860,
as follows; Horses, 68 per cent.; mules,'70
per cent; cattle, 65 per cent.; sheep, 80 per
cent.; hogs, 56 per ceut. These estimates

A Case off Jealousy In Wsntlngtos-One
Woman Attempt* to snoot Another—
Wretched End of a. Canary Hird.
The Washington Star of Tuesday evening
has the following tragic particulars:.
“Mrs. Martha Ferguson went to the resi
dence of Miss Mary E. Cecil and a contro
versy arose between them about the former’s
husband. Miss C. seized Mrs. Feigus iu,
and attempted to put her out, when ihe
drew a revolver, presented it at Miss Cecil's
breast, and snapped it three limes. J u at ice
Thompson held the prisoner to bail in $1,000
for her appearance at eburt.
“From tbe subsequent statement of Mrs.
Ferguson it would appear that she is about
37 years of age and had been living in Wash
ington with her husband, and they had with
them the complainant, a young girl. About
a year ago the husband, it is stated, sent his
wife to his friends in Ohio for her health.
There she received information alleging that
her husband ‘ was living with Miss Cecil as
man and wife. She immediately came to
Washington to look- after him. Upon going
to his house she found he had left the city.
She traced him to B iltimore and back sgaiD,
and thinking to find bito at the -bouse where
the complainant lived with her mother, went
there. There she met the complainant and
saw a canary bird, which she underetiood tier
husband had given the complainant, who,
out of respect to the donor, had called it
“Jimmy,” which exasperated the-prisoner,
and she took the bird and wrung its bead off.
High words ensued, between ner and Abe
complainant, and the latter seized her to put
her out of tbe house; She drew a revolver
and presented it, and tried to fire it, but it
■napped two or three times. Some one
intertered and prevented auy futther;fighting
between them, ahd the officer was sent for
who arrested her.
