The wheat harvest is on hand here now. The yield is very good, but is not so fine as in East Tennessee. There, the fields as we came hither a lew days since, exhibited evidences of a very large crop. The wheat standing in “ shocks” thickly studded over the wide fields, having been reaped only a few days. The business of reaping is now almost exclusively done by im proved machinery. Indeed the pro gress of agricultural improvement in this country is in nothing more ap parent than the general adoption of the latest and best labor-saving ma chinery. We are pleased to see Abingdon quite recovered from her war-injury ; several excellent buildings—among them the Court House—having been destroyed by fire by the Yankee forces in 1S64. It is a very handsome town of 1200 or 1500 inhabitants, situated on the Virginia and Tennessee Rail road 15 miles from the Tennessee bor der at Bristol. It has long been the centre of refinement, intelligence and wealth in South-western Virginia. Many of the most distinguished citi zens of Virginia had their homes here, and names known beyond the limits of the United States are a portion of its historical treasures. The late Gen. John B. Floyd—a relative of the Floyd family of the Georgia sea-coast—re sided at this place, and died here.— Virginia's most popular and distin guished Senator in the U. S. Congress, Hon. John W. Johnston, brother-in- aw of the late Gen. John B. Floyd, and a nephew of Gen, Joseph E. John ston, resides in this neighborhood ; and here is to be found Mr. Beverly John ston, a brother of Gen. Joseph E., who has long stood at the head of the brilliant Abingdon bar. The late Hon. C. Preston of S. C., was a native of Abingdon. Here, too, was born and died ere the noon-day of his life, the late Col. James W. Humes, one of the most brilliant of the young statesmen Virginia ever produced. His canvass of Virginia in the last gubernatorial contest gave him the highest rank among her statesmen. His widow, a daughter of the late Gen. Charles R. Floyd of Camden county, Georgia, and a sister of “Mary Faith Floyd” of of your city, resides here. The un timely death of Col. Humes reminds us of another of Abingdon’s brilliant sons—the late Walter Preston—an orator of unsurpassed powers, whose widow, beautiful and accomplished, also resides in this neighborhood. We could easily multiply honored names ian, and having succeeded Stonewall Jarkson in his Brigade command when the latter became a General. He is a candidate for re-election. Coming hither from Knoxville, Tenn., we passed Greenville, Tenn the home of Andrew Johnson. He a candidate for a seat in the Repre sentative Branch of Congress under the new law authorizing the election of a member for the State at large.— He is opposed by Gen. Frank B Cheatham of Nashville, the well known and gallant General in the Confeder ate service. The contest is not yet fairly opened, aud we cannot predict results. The former has the advan tage in statesmanship—the latter generalship. Which is the better now in the U. S. Congress ? Passing Greeneville, we saw the an tique brick Williams’ mansion, with its old fashioned tin-roof, in which the great raider, Gen. John H. Mor san, was surprised and slain by the Federal forces. The mountain scene ry at this point, lying to the South ward from Greenville to the Virginia line, is unfolded in such marvelous beauty as to chain the beholder’s at tention. Along the towering moun tain-cliffs for 20 miles stretched an ir regular line of umber contrasting grandly with the deep greenish-blue al that distant earth and sky. A fire had spread from a single spark in April last, and whole forests had been swept away. W. G. M. THE CHICAGO STOCK YARDS. In practice the tourist bound to Cal ifornia will do well to stop two days in Chicago, and one day in Salt Lake City, in which case he would get to San Francisco in ten days, and with sur prisingly little fatigue, aud he will have seeu several very remarkable sights on the way. For instance, though Chicago itself was burned and is not rebuilt, the ruin is worth seeing ; and near at hand, accessible by fre quent trains, he may find one of the most characteristic sights of our con tinent, thegreat Chicago stock-yards— a city whose inhabitants are cattle, sheep, and hogs, and where these crea tures are so well cared for that many a poor human being supposed to have an immortal and amendable soul, liv ing in a New York tenement house, is neither so cleanly lodged uor so well protected against harm or cruelty. This city of the beasts has streets, sewers, drains; it has water laid on; it is lighted with gas ; it has a bank, an exchange, a telegraph office, a poet of fice, an admirably kept hotel; it has even a newspaper—else it would not be an American city. It has very comfortable accommodations for 119,- 550 residents—namely, 20,000 head of cattle, 75,000 hogs, 22,000 sheep, with stalls for 350 horses. It contains 345 acres of land; and when all this is prepared for use, 210.000 head of cat tle can be lodged, fed, and cared for there at once, and with the certainty that not one will softer or go astray. It has thirty-five miles of sewers; ten miles of streets and alleys, all paved with wood; three miles of water- troughs, all so arranged that the water may be stopped off at any point; 2300 gates, which are the front doors, so to speak, ot the place ; 1500 pens, heav ily fenced in with double plank; 100 of the living, and the dead ; but your acres are covered with pens for cattle, readers at Milledgeville will not feel an< ^ these are floored with three- the same interest in the subject as we do here. Abingdon remains, even since the depressing and impoverishing results of the War, quite a centre of refine ment and intelligence; indeed I may add of wealth, also. Permeating its inch plank ; 800 covered sheds for sheep and hogs; and seventen miles of railroad track connect this city of the beasts with every road which runs into Chicago. It has two Artesian wells, one 1032, the other 1190 feet deep, which, being spouting wells, send the water into huge tanks forty- five feet high, whence it is distributed society is a good old-fashioned healthy j a || over the place in pipes.

Most of the people em ployed in the yards are Americans. Among such a multitude of beasts as are here received Mr. Buckle’s law of averages would tell you that there will be a certain few monstrosities and you will probably be shown one or two Texas steers which look much more like elephants or mammoths, than horned oxen; perhaps a two- headed sheep, or a six-legged hog; and indeed, when I saw the stables they contained a reflection which would have turned the face of a Chatham street exhibitor green with envy.— Chas.

Near this place is located the celebrated Emory and Henry Col lege, under the patronage of the South ern Methodist Episcopal Church, which educates students from almost every State in the South. We bad the pleasure of hearing at this place last Monday, the address of Hon. Mr. Terry, Representative of this District in the U. S. Congress. .It was an account of his stewardship rendered to his constituents—a bold manly exposition of his.conduct, re minding us, in some of its passages, of Edmund Burke’s celebrated and elo quent Address to the electors of Bris tol. In referring to the “ McIntyre Amendment,” Gen. Terry paid an eloquent tribute to the merits of the Hon. Mr. McIntyre, our able Con gressman from Southern Georgia.-— Gen.

The hotel, has bath-rooms, and is in other respects well fitted, for the use of the drovers and owners of cattle, whom business brings hither. At the Exchange sales are effected, and the news of a sale may be sent to Maine or Texas by a telegraph from the same room, while the money paid may be securely deposited in the bank, which is under the same roof. Thus you will see that this surprising enterprise is completely furnished in every part; and it will not be the least part of your surprise and pleasure to find that this whole business, which about New York often involves painful brutali ties, is here conducted as quietly as though a Quaker presided over it, and with as much care for the feelings of the dumb brutes as though good Mr. Bergh were looking on all the time. It will cost about two millions when it is completed ; it is a pecuniary suc cess, as it deserves to be; and when you hear that so long ago as 1S69 Chicago received and sent off 403,102 head of cattle, 1.G6I.S69 bogs, and 340,072 sheep, and that it will proba bly remain for years one of the great est cattle markets in the world, you From the New York Herald. The Cycles of Cholera and Sun Spots. One of the most remarkable deduc tions of modern science has recently been made in England, in regard to the long-supposed connection between the cholera and sun spots. The in tense interest now felt everywhere as to the origin, movements and present march of the great Asiatic plague, nvests the subject with more than or- Jinary importance. The phenomenon of solar spots has long since been con nected with the wonderful auroral dis plays, magnetic storms and other physical changes which so often bewilder and amaze the most emi nent philosophers of the day. On the 1st of September, 1859, the face ol the sun was obscured by such spots, and two observers, far separated and unknown to each other, while viewing them with powerful telescopes, simul taneously saw a strikingly dazzling ight burst forth near one of the spots and sweep across it, traversing in a few minutes thirty-five thousand miles of the solar surface. A magnetic storm at the same time was in violent pro gress? The whole planet seemed elec- rically convulsed on that day; and gradually telegrams annnounced mag nificent auroras in Europe, in the West Indies, on the tropics, within eighteen degrees of the Equator (where they are very rare) in Boutli America, aud even at Melbournej in Australia. In many places the tele graph wires ceased to work, and at some of our chief cities the electricians received severe shocks. The magni tude of solar spots, which astronomers believe to stand casually connected with such convulsions, is almost in credible. Instances are frequent of spots covering eight millions of square miles on the sun’s disc ; and there are exceptional ones, as that seen by Her- schel in 1S37, more than thirty times large. It is, therefore, not to be ondered at, as the distinguished au thority whom we have jnst quoted suggested that the spotted state of the grand luminary is intimately connect ed with a great variety of meteorolo- gic, terestial and other phenomena. The new and striking deduction to w’hich we referred at the outset ema nates from Mr. B. G. Jenkins, of the Inner Temple, London, in a paper (read before the Historical Society) on cholera, founded on a communication to the Russian Imperial Academy of Science, and now under a review by the Medical Council. The author of the paper emphatically maintains and strongly supports the view that cos mic influence lies at the origin of cholera, and that the great epidemic intimately connected with auroral displays and solar disturbances, and graphically illustrated the connection upon a map giving the amount: of chol era and the number of sun spots for the past fifty years. Following out this idea, he proves, by the annals of the disease, that its maxima and ruini- coiocide with the maxima and supposition that they were sailing in these cholera streams. At any rate it is pretty clear that the places hitherto exempt from the infection lie outside the limits of such streams as Mr. Jen kins described. The whole subject is worthy the practical and most exnaust ive investigation of scientific men What the world wants is to put this whole research upon the solid basis of fact, and this has been done by the au thor of the view above cited. minima of solar agitations, auroras, banners, earth currents, magnetic storms and electrical cyclones. It is a well known and curious fact that the last year of every century— e g.j 1800—has a minimum of spots, and, by various processes, different physicists in distant countries, work ing from phofographic and other sun records, have reached the same re sult, that the period of time in which this minimum returns is about eleven years and a half. But the maximum yrai Jails aliuub UVe years aner Lite minimum, and not midway in the pe riod. The author of the hypothesis conclud-s that the cholera period is about equal to a period aud a half of sun spots; and thus reckoning, his de duction is verified as far ae cholera statistics are known. According to this reasoning 1866 was a year having a maximum of the disease, and the next minimum will be in 1833—a con clusion which will, be welcomed by those who have apprebeuded its visi tation in its worst forms this year in our own country. Contrary to the usual notion Mr. Jenkins projects the idea that the “ home” of cholera is not confined to Asia or the delta of the Ganges, and that it originates in seven distiuct and equi-disrant seats, on or near the trop ics, of which the Gangetic is the most important. The others are on the east of China, to the north of Mecca, on the west coast of Africa, to the north of the West Indies, to the west ol Lower California and among the Sand wich Islands; and his map shows that the recorded appearances of the epi demic on our globe may be satisfactor ily explained by supposing seven at mospheric streams, each fourteen hun dred miles in breadth, proceeding from these foci in a northwestardly direc tion. The curious but not unlrequent cases of vessels being suddenly struck by cholera while at sea and tbe in stances of ships sailing along tbe coasts of India being attacked by tbe disease in the same place, at different times, seems to be explicable only upon the Sheep Better Than Dogs.—The wool clip of the United States in 1871 amounted to 177,000,000 pounds A comparison with other wool-produc ing countries gives the following sta tistics : England clips 159,969,000 lbs Austria 152,500,000, LaPlata 12S.070,- 000. It is thus seen that this country has risen to be the first on the list. In 1800 the production wtta 60,364,913 pounds in all the States and Territo ries, and the increase iu 1871 thus ap pears to have reached nearly thirty per cent. But you may look in vaiu for any gratifying returns of this State. We have the finest lands on the conti uent for sheep walks, and might add large sums to our total values at the end of each year by means of wool for spinners, and mutton for butchers; but we do not. And why not? Let the “State Journal” answer: Last Saturday we went to our farm on the Potomac to spend a quiet Sun day. We were aroused at daybreak by the yelping of dogs near the house, aud reached the door just in time to see our favorite and most valuable buck, the leader of the flock, driven past by a pa~k of curs. All hands were aroused, and seizing their guns followed to save the poor brute from his pursuers. We found him corner ed, but doing his best to fight his as sailants. One ear was torn off, and his legs badly bitten. Taking the back track, we spent the whole day hunting up the scatter ed flock and caring lor the dead and wounded. Three lambs and two ewes were found horribly mangled and torn, one of them the pet of our children Others were bitten, disfigured and lamed. We confess to some feelings not altogether appropriate for Sunday. These few sheep are all that remain to us of a large flocl^ which we sold to save from the dogs, after they had killed many. But the children pled for a few sheep, and so we kept a small flock near the house. But even in our own yard, we have no immuni ty. These dogs belong to people ut terly irresponsible. They run at large and are under no restraint. The experience here narrated is com mon all through the State; but the “Journal” should remember that the man and brother is the great dog fan cier of the State. Let us have a sacred war against the curs that infest the land, and we will aid in it to the best of our ability. Verily, one sheep is worth many dogs, and if we impress this on the next General Assembly we shall not be wanting in our efforts.— Norjolk Virginian. {From tbe Baltimore Gazette. Bow to Wim Success. It is impossible to dwell with too much earnestness upon the importance of thorough and complete union in the Democratic ranks. There never was a time in the history of our party when more self abnegation was demanded —when a greater amount of personal sacrifice was needed to secure the de feat of our reckles aud unscrupulous opponents. That the political situa tion is full of peril no one can doubt, that serious apprehensions for the fu ture are entertained by some of our best and wisest stetesmen, is a fact that calls for the most prudent action, not only on the leaders, but also among the entire rank and file of tbe party. That the large majority of the Democ racy will unhesitatingly obey the de cision of the Democratic National Con vention, whatever ito voice niav be, is unquestionably true; but there are some who, at this time, openly an nounce their intentions not to be bound by its action, unless the decree regis tered by that body shall be in stirct accordance with their own views and opinions. This is as unwise as it is in politic. Men who permit them selves to be thus madly carried away ! not been transmuted into net profits ; by the passions and prejudices of the and yet such communities, daily in- hour, in.y fiud, when it is too late, flicting irreparable injury upon thein- ttiat they have unwittingly aided in selves, by neglecting the gifts ol God the perpetuation of the worst Admis- 1 and spurning the labor of man, are tration that ever cursed any couptry. ; wopt to deem themselves injured by It should therelore, be the daily duty the piosperity flowing from superior of every Democrat to ujge upon his industry and a practical political ocon- brethren the vast importance of union, omy.” irmony and conciliation, iu the ut- !

High farming is always and only found in connection with manufactur ing skill in extending the raw pro ducts of agiiculture ; and no purely agricultural nation can expect to at tain wealth, a high state of civiliza tion, or great political power. These are facts which should be carefully pondered and promptly acted upon. Why is not the South to-day the great manufacturing section of the country ? It is far better adapted to such an industry than any other sec tion. The answer may be found in a paragraph from a former official state ment emanating from the Department of Agriculture relating to this section : “The path of progress has been equally open to all ; laws supposed to favor a diversified industry have been applicable to ail States alike ; the best water power and cheapest coal are in States that make no extensive use of either ; milder climates, and superior facilities for cheap transportation have furnished advantages that have A Good Word for Romping Girls. —Most women have a dread of these.

In two weeks more the National Convention will assemble at Baltimore. It promises to be the largest and most intelligent meeting of the freemen that ever as sembled in the Union. Thousands from all quarters of the Republic will gather here to join in this grand demonstration against the corrupt fac tion now in power. In fact, as well as in name, let it be the oracle of the great Democratic party. By that sign vve will conquer; but in no other way can we hope for success. The prize is within our grasp. If we fail to se cure it, it is only because we neglect ed to profit by the teaching of all time that in union is strength and without •it the best and holiest cause may be lost. Summer Drinks.—Ice water should be drank but sparingly. A most ex cellent substitute for it is pounded ice taken in small lumps into the mouth and allowed to dissolve upon the ton gue, This will prove very refreshing and much more enduring in its effects. Lemonade is a simple and grateful beverage. To make it: Roll the lem ons on something hard till they be come soft; grate oft the rinds, cut the lemons in slices and squeeze them in a pitcher (a new clothes-pin will answer for a squeezer in lieu of some thing better); pour on the required quantity of water, and sweeten accord ing to taste. The grated rinds, for the sake of their aroma, should be ad ded too. After mixing thoroughly, set the pitcher aside for half an hour ; then strain the liquor through a jelly strainer, and put in the ice. Travellers who find it inconvenient to use lemons can carry a box of lem on sugar prepared lrorn citric acid and sugar, a little of which in a glass of ice v^ater will furnish quite a refresh ing drink, aud one that will help oft- eutimes to avert sick-headache and biliousness.

Boil lor half an hour more, or until the liquid will sink to the bottom of a cup of water (try it with a tea-spoor.ful ot the liquid); then turn into jelly cups and cover with the paper dipped in the white of an egg. To prepare the drink : Put a spoon ful of the jelly into a goblet of water, and let it stand about ten minutes; then stir it up and fill with pounded ice. Currants and raspberries made into “shrub” furnish a pleasant and cooling drink when mixed with ice water. Pounded ice is also au agree able addition to a saucer of strawber ries, raspberries, or currants. Pound it until it is almost as fine as snow, and spread it over the berries. With fruit it is also an excellent substitute for cream. Water ices are always ac ceptable. Those made of lemon, or ange, currants, strawberries, raspber ries, and pine-apple, are much im proved by adding the stiff beaten whites of four eggs to every two quarts of the liquid. Put it in just as it is turned into the freezer, and it will freeze in a foam. [From the Washington Patriot. Grant Badly Ratified.

Her heart will be full of beautiful things—the sound of the wind, the talk of the leaves, the music of the wild birds and the laugh of the wild flowers, the rippling of streams and thp. color of pebbles, the shade of the clouds, and the hue of the sun-beams —all those will have woven their spell over her innocent thoughts, and made her a poet in feeling if not in expres sion. No, mothers, don’t nurse up your little girls like house plants. The daughters of this generation are to be the mothers of the next, and if you would have them healthy in body and genial in temper, free from nervous af fections, fidgets, and blues; if you would fit them for life, its joys, its cares and trials, let them have a good romp every day while they are grow ing.
