VIRGINIA.
The Wincbestet (Va.) Tunes says :
Tim late tains have so improved the wheat
crop that there is every prospect nf there b< i: g
a much larger yield than was ant cipultd u (on
night since. I'H Ids that looked hopeless at that
t me now present the appearance ol an ordinary
crop, while the opinions of farmers generally is
that, but few of the past years will exceed the
amount ol corn that will be planted or raised.
The Lynchburg rirginiun says :
The wheat in ,S< uibweaieru Virginia promises
well, being especially flue in the counties ol
Bodford, Roanoke. Montgomery, Pulaski,Wythe:
Smythe and Washington.
The Shepardstown Register says:
The warm sunshine following the late rains,
hits acted like magic on the growing wheat crop,
and that fields which two weeks ago had a bar
ren appearance, now look thrifty, clothed with
a green and refreshing sward. The farmers are
I also preparing lor planting an unusually large
crop ol corn this season—larger than for many
years.
The Lynchburg News says :
The farmers of this section, the Piedmont
region, and in the Southwestern portion of
' the State, and in other localities of Virginia,
i are assiduously devoting their time and ener
’ gies to the main objects of raising large crops
of the various agricultural productions du
ring the present year. Preparations have
been made for the cultivation of large crops
■ of corn, and more than an average amount
of oats has already been put in the ground.
The w beat crop, it is generally conceded, will
not prove an average one, though a better
supply will be realized than was anticipated
a few weeks ago.
"An Old Farmer” writes to tbe Richmond
Examiner from Ha’ifax county, under date of
April 2Gth, as follows :
Believing that you feel an interest in the
farmers of tbe South, especially Virginia
farmers, 1 thought that I would drop you a
few lines, giving you some idea of tbe pros
pects of the present growing tobacco crop,
(the great staple of Virginia.) Tbe Virginia
farmers of the tobacco region have made
great e ,ir orts to make a large crop this year,
s» far as physical labor and circumstances,
etc., are concerned. But for tbe want of
means to buy manures, the neglect of their
tobacco lots during the war, and tbe scarcity
and smallness of tbe tobacco plants—all of
these things considered, 1 am sure that there
will be a small as well as an inferior crop
made.
I have traveled a good deal lately through
this section of Virginia, and also through tbe
growing region of North Carolina,
anti I honestly believe that there will not be
more than a fourth of a crop, if that. There
will be a great failure in plants ; no doubt of
that. I burnt, four large beds, which, if they
were tolerable, would plant three times as
much as I shall be able to plant; and ns it
is. 1 shall not have a single one to spare.—
! The tobacco crop at this crisis is a sine qua
| won, for there is no money in tbe country,
) and tobacco is the only staple that farmers in
i tb s section can depend upon.
TEXAS.
The Galveston Bulletin, of tbe 15th, says:
Geo. Gregory bus returned horn an extend
ed tour in the interior, whither he had gone
on a tour of inspection. The General reports
that tbe laborers are at work, the cotton most
ly well up and doing finely. He savs that
the planters are all satisfied—that unless the
worm, or some other unavoidable cause in
tervene, tbe crops will be larger than were
ever made before.
The Houston Telegraph says, upon tbe sub
ject of crops:
We thind they are better than usual at this
season, and doubtless a great deal more cot
| ton will be raised than will be gathered, but
! still we are hopeful of securing a full half
s crop. In al] probability thyre will be fifty
I thousand bales of cotton raised in Texas this
year more than will be picked out.

Ludicrous Scene in a Church/—An aged
Clergyman, speaking of. solemnity attached
to the Ministerial office, said that during for
ty years that he bad officiated therein, iris
gravity, in the pulpit, had never been but
once disturbed.
Ob that occasion he noticed a man directly
in front of him. leaning over the railing of
tint gallery, with something in his hand
which he Hlterwards discovered to be a big
chew of tobacco, just taken from his mouth. 1
Directly below sat a man fast asleep, with his
head back and his mouth wide open. The
man in the gallery was intensely engaged in
raising and lowering his hand, taking an ex
act observation, till at last, having got it
right he let tall his quid, and it went plum
| into the mouth of the sleeper below! The
wholo scene was so indescribably ludicrous
that tor the fir t and last time in tbe pulpit,
’ an involuntary smile forced itself B p O n tlio

Knoxville Correspondence.
[Special to the New Era.]
Knoxville, Tenn., May stb, 1866.
The Convention intended to represent the
interests and sentiments of the people of tbe
31 counties of East Tennessee, assembled here
day before yesterday. The delegates seemed
to be almost unanimous in their advocacy of
the “new State movement.” Mr. James, of
Chattanooga, offered a lesolution adverse to
the movement, but it was promptly laid upon
the table. Hon. T. A. R. Nelson, 001. Tem
ple, S. R. Rodgers, and nearly all the old
politicians of this section favor the scheme.—
Mr. Nelson, in his speech before the Conven
tion on yesterday, accidentally gave the main
reason which actuated this secession move
ment. He said : "We want a State in which
we cau govern.” Gov. Brownlow, it is urn.
derstood, favors the scheme; but he has man
aged thas far not to commit himself. His
paper here (the "Whig,’’) is however, in
the interests of the plan, and I have no doubt
the Governor has been silent only from poli.
cy. If Nelson and the Union party will for
give him bis gross inconsistencies, and then
recognize him as the most available candi
date for governor of the proposed new State,
he will come out in its favor; otherwise he
will bang his hopes of election upon the Fra
nchise Bill and go against separation.
This scheme of dividing tbe State and crea
ting new offices for the accommodation of a
numb-r of competent and patriotic gentlemen,
is not new. It was agitated in 1849-50, and
again in 1861. Tbe same reasons which actua
ted the miiv-m-nt then, prompted a renewal of
the agitation in 1866. Middle and West Ten
nessee furnish too many voters who fail to ap
preciate the political aspirants in this remote
end of the State. Heretofore the scheme baa
not the shadow of a probability of success for
the reason that, the Constitution of the United
■ States requires lhat the State Legislature must
Concur in the movement before application can
be made to Congress tor tbe admission
of the Stale. But a majority of the Leg
islature being from the State, always opposed
the move. The scheme has more probability of
success now thau at any previous time, fo r
tbe reason that tbe "Disfranchise” Bill re
cently passed by tbe Legislature will give
East Tennessee and those who sympathise
with her ambitious schemes the majority in
both Houses. Hence I should not be surprised
if this last move should not, iu the end, prove
successful. If so, you can buy farms in East
Tennessee for $2 000 and $3,000, which sold
before tbe war from SIO,OOO to sls 000. The
taxes necessary to support a State Govern
ment over a territory so small and so impov.
erished by war will, I apprehend, cause the
the better portion of the remaining popula
tion to sell out and go to Georgia or to Mid
dle Tennessee. R, M.
