When I arrived I foond instructions the most ludi crous I think ever written for a like pur pose. They consisted in detailing the sujerb morale and spirit of the forces of winch 1 hail taken command. After recit ing their character, they concluded with the statement that I was takiDg com mand of as strong and effective a forcejas then represented the confederate army in any quarter, etc. The facts were that there were only about two thousand mounted efficient cavalry and about thirty-eight thousand infantry, just from the serious --nm I have described and the terrible conflict of Chickamauga. I realised the necessity of gathering a more effective force of cavalry and of augmenting and putting in condition the infantry force which had so long marched to battle with out an inspiriting victory before making an aggressive campaign. My fear was that be fore this could be done, Sherman who had 280,000 men under his call, all of whom were not, of course, at Chattanooga, but under his command, would strike us at Dalton before ray arrangements were com pleted. “General Long.itreel, with his corps, although not with me, waa to reinforce the shatted army I have described.

Crawford. No more talented or honor able, no more chivalrous or gallant has this or any other state of the union ever called into the public service. Mr. Crawford was born in Amherst coun ty, Virginia, on the 24<h of February, 1772. His father removed to South Carolina in 1707, and located in Edgefield district. Here he remained until 1783, when lie it- moved to Georgia ami made bis home in Columbia county, where, a f-w years there after, he died. Hi- eon. William H., was then of an ace to assist Ms mo*her, which he did by teaching school. This vocation he followed for several yean. All this while he devoted every leisure hour to the acquisition of know.edge. Georgia was then comparatively a r e« country, sparsely populated, and afforded but very alight means for the cultivation of the mind. There was but little wealth in the state, and no libraries of any importance, and the student's opportunities, so far as books were ricerned, were limited to a very few ele- Clark and his friends, there was not j grabbling as to certain points to be ub " served in the combat and such as was cal culated to irritate and offend Crawford. It had the desired effect and he fought under high excitement, which was well calcu lated to insure the safety of Clark. Craw ford was shot through the left wrist, aud his friends refused to permit him to pursue the fight. This was not satisfactory to Clark, and subsequently he renewed’ the challenge. The frit nd? of Mr. Crawford interfered and moat positively insisted upon his refusal to accept this, urging that l>e j mentary works, but where there is a will .., . . there is a way, and in borrowing from one street would have to m.rcta from one point I anrt ,^„ t |, e r such works as were to be found by a circuitous route to the nver snd I by j h«. procured enough to afford him the means - . ^ 0CCU p a tion ana information another and there form a junction, having an army on his flank, while I was to leave .Sherman’s army on my flank or rear and move with a wagon train forty miles long. “After General Bragg had been relieved of this command Mr. Davis took him to Richmond as one of his advisers and gave | him a position, unknown to the law. of | commander in-chief of the armies, and it through Bragg that I received many of ill reeled wdcl v hie with Mr. D«vi«," said Gen- on, “is that since the war be practical M c^ri.-cori, stirrounded j these suggestions as to the contemplated • .*' n 1 military maneuvres in Tennessee, which hink he is « i Mr. Davis evidently thinks were brilliant •«1, and he As I expected.

To accomplish this he became a student in the academy then taught by the celebrated teacher, Moses Waddell. Under his teaching he studied closely the classics, and was so proficient that Waddell tender ed him the situation of assistant. In this situation he remained for two years. He then joined Mr. Charles Tait in the man- agentent of the Richmond academy, in the city of Augusta, then but a saiall village Of this academy he subsequently became rector.

Very soon it became apparent that he would, ere long, become the lending lawyer iu the up country. At that time there was forming the scheme which ultima ted m the famous Yazoo fraud Those projecting this scheme were then termed loud speculators, end they were anxious to secure every one of ii tluerce and talents to their interest aud aid The famous Elijah Clarke, and his not less famous sou, were supposed to be inter ested in this stupendous scheme. Their influence iu that section of the state was paramount, aud they had drawn around them a formidable array of those »up|*osed to influence in a great degree public sen timent. Amongst these were moat of the lawyers cf the up-country—one of these, a man named Van Allen, was a tuau of abilities and unscrupulous; ambitious of wealth and desiring its acqusition s tensely that he was not particular as t* character of the menus to be used foi purpose. He saw a formidable rival a bar in Mr. Crawford, aud aspixe 1 to control him by enlisting him as a coadjutr land speculating views. This ma cousin of Martin VanBuren; was from New York, and was as well a kindred spirit in intrigue. Overtures were made by this clique to Mr. Crawford to become one of tUem. This was at once indignantly refused, and ho frankly avowed his opinion as to the John postmaster general 1 the cabinet. Abf of Mr. Monroe’s s me need be* wee! The in was not a member it the commencement ond term a rivalry " friends of Craw- it was apparent the life of Mr. Crawford was vindictively sought, without cause, and that he was too valuable to the country arid to his family, a second time to risk life to gratify the i vengeance of an uu- i-nting foe. This was l he origin of the feud between the two men, which divided the s'ate into parlies or more properly factions for more than twenty years. For their political principles w’ere identical, both men sup porters of the republican or Jeffersonian party ard ardent advocates of state rights. Early in 1806 Governor James Jackson died. His efforts before and after his election as governor to make odious the Yazoo fraud and all who were connected with it had made him very dear to the people of the state, and as he was appreci ated, so all the coadjutors in that wor.derfui speculation were degraded and despised. It was known that John Clark and his father, Elijah Clark, held stock iu the company, and this, with the affair with Judge Tail, had made him very unpopular; and as he sank from public view Mr. Crawford be came more and more prominent.and though the opposition to him was formidable and inveterate, it was ineffectual, save only it: its influence in causing his friends to he more united, and to cling the closer :o him. This popularity was deeply ingrafted iu the hearts of the people of the whole state. It was not that evanescent popularity which is won by some fortuitous incident, ami which perishes with its cause, but the pop ularity of merit which grows with time, when sustained by talent and demonstrateu by an honest and straightforward indepen dence in always persuing rightly high prin ciples and au exalted patriotism. This was eminently true in all its essen tials of Mr. Crawford. He was continued in the legislature for several years, and mainly shaped its action on' all important matters. He had been appointed in con vention with Leonard Marlary to digest the laws of the state, and in the discharge of this duty he became not only acquainted most thoroughly with the laws, but also with the necis-vity for the enactment of ford, Adams an • Calhoun for the succes sion to Mr. Mor .ce. For a time it was be- lieved Mr. Crawforil would certainly be the successor. Theaedantary and labori ous life imposed by the discharge of his duties as secretary of the treasury bad told sadiy upon his vigors*!* constitution. He h*d been greatly annoyed- by the perils tent efforts of bis encmiif to impeach his char acter and blacken hi* fame. He was sensi tive to these efforts’ and he .was stricken with paralysis. 8tuV his friends insisted t on his continuing a candidate. u The results of this election disrupted the republican party and the union of the east and the w^ffc-^'-lected.

It may not be aini-3 to mention one of the incidents occurring during the last term of Mr. Monroekiadministration which greatly annoyed Mr. Crawford, and which preceeded but a short time his paralysis. There was no especial depository for the treasurer of the United Stales, and under a law of congress, the secretary was em powered to make hia deposits in local state banks to be by him chosen. Mr. Crawford had selected one of two banks in Illinois, and these had failed with the deposit* of the treasurer in them. The senator, Xin- :an Edwards frot* that state, preferred charges of corrupt’ collusion between the secretary and these banks. He had been appointed by Mr. Monroe minister to Mexico, aud through his son-in-law, Mr. Cook, who was at ff e time the only repre sentative in congre ss from Illinois, and the public press these charges were made the eve of his dep«j^ture for Mexico. Monroe intimated to Mr. Crawford that he iiad better resign his position and defend Prompt!; Mr. Crawford replied A STRAWBERRY FARM A DAY SPENT WITH THE PICKERS, quare first they derive much nourishment ami I strength from the original plant, but aher- I ward the latter is nourished by them.

Van Allen challenged him. others demanded by the best interest: the state. In 1807, he was chosen a senator in the congress of the United States. Here he soon became prominent as one of the great minds of the nation. During his incum bency there arose momentous measures pending before congress growing from im pending hazards to the cation. These were met, and not only wisely, but boldly d s- cus>ed by Mr. Crawford. The presumptions insolence of England, accompanied with most arbitrary conduct was provoking war. She assumed the right to stop all American ships upon the high seas, and to take there from any able-bodied seamen whom her officers chose to designate as English by birth, and in doing this to treat American captains and all other officers of the ships as inferiors, and to insult and abuse them iu the mo<t offensive manner. At this time Mr. Clay, Mr. Calhoun. Mr. Lout dy, John Randolph, DavidR Williams, and l.angdon Chives, were men.hers of congress Na- ihaniel Macou, John Holme*, Daniel Webster, and Rufus King, amidst thw galaxy of wonderful men, Mr. Crawford stood prominent for his wcnderml intellect. ter, nmi he shill be compelled to sustain his charge^ before congress. This was done, and Edwards was overtaken at New Orleans by the order of the president aud ordered to Washington. The investi gation resulted in the triumphant acquittal of Mr. Crawford and the ejection from his mission of Edwards and his entire destruc tion as a politician. From that time until the. termination of the administration, thin relations between Mr. Crawford aud tb’e president were only those of business. Tbfesubsequent career of Mr. Crawford is too w'eU known to all intelli gent Georgians-tb require recapitulation here. That he was unquestionably one of the ablest men of tha nation, there cannot be a doubt. The testimony of liis compeers at test this. I will prdy mention one—the great Nathaniel'/Macon, of North Carolina, was ahktd who he thought the able* 1 ' knew. He answered promptly, William H.

This put a new phase upon matters. Such an event startled the community, and very soon it was divided into parties, the more substantial citizens taking part with Crawford. It was in 1799, that Mr. Crawford located in Lexington. In 18U6, he was a member oi the legislature and very soon became the leading spirit of the house, if not of the entire body. Mr Tcit. tbe former rector of the academy whose power was omnipotent upon the Sue had but recently destroyed the Spanish »»nd French fleets, and assumed to be the mistiess of the seas. America bad but a few ships of war, and these were being tired into by British cruisers aud insulted insolently in American ports. This had s-roused the American people, and war was inevitable at all hazards This necessitated a clearer and better defined relation with other European powers, and especially France. A holy alliance, as it was termed, had been entered into by the great powers of Europe against France—in reality against Napoleon. England was the head and front ol this alliance and her hands were full at times, and the advocates of the war in the American congress urged this as a reason why war should now be declared.

He and John Clark had married sisters, daughters of the brated Micajah Wil- j liamson, but were never friends, fait had bren cjnsistently the friend of Mr. Craw ford, and sided with him in hts difficulty with Van Allen This fact increased the animosity of Clark towards him. About’the year 1805, a warrant for negro stealing was issued from Sanlsbury. North Carolina, against one Robert Chary, then re siding in Wilkes county, Georgia. This warrant was placed in the n-snos of one John Ginas, to whom it was directed. This warrant was presented to JudgeTait in the town of Sparta, on the 21 h of February, 1806 with the request that *:c would back the same, which was door with in t ; e*iiit- tion It was then prerented to, and indorsed by Edward Brya.:, Eaq., a justice of ths peace for the county of Washington.

The main error iu the net vision, however, is in Paul’s address tn the i mans. The old edition has it, “Ye me Athena. I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.” The new revision has it, “In all things I perceive that ye are somewhat super»ti tious.” The last is not a correct translation of the Greek text—the Greek adverb in the original ex- S resses a superlative sense, while the revision uses ; iu a mol;bed sens'-. The inscription “To the Unknown God” i« rendered in the revision “To an uuknown G*kl.” Eiih*=ris a correct transla tion, but the one in the King James edition is to be preferred. Paul did not intend to insult the Atheniaus, but :o compliment them. They had Kz’.c let go the crate, took a fine straw berry from the top of a quart basket, and allowed the blushing fruit to melt between lips as ripe and ruddy as the berry. The hcod she wore seemed a useless precaution against'sun, far she and Mr. George H. 6tout, tbe strawberry grower of Bay View, N. J., were standing under a wooden shed near the strawberry patches. But if the hoed was net useful it surely was very be coming. It pressed her nut brown curls over her forehead, and threw a shadow over her hbzel eyes and beautifully curved brows. As sue dropped a berry from her fingers she might have been the girl of whom Fitz James O’Brien wrote in his “Strawberries:” The strawberrv dropped from her fingers. And she stretched out her little hand. And I know that, instead of fruit, it held The sweetest heart in the laud. So we left the strawberries lying In their shadowy leaves that day, Aud silently walked n the garden, While the long hours stole away. Some pickers had iust come in from the patches, carrying wooden earners, each of which held from six lo eight quart baskets, or cups, as they rre technically called. As the pickers handed in the cups they re ceived a corresponding number of blue tickets. “If any of you have ten blue tickets,” Mr. Stout said, ‘you can exchange them for a red one. This is the way I keep the amount of the picking,” he continued, turning to the reporter. “A blue ticket "represents a quart and is worth two cents; the red tickets are for ten quarts. Now, Kate, I’ll lift the crate off the table. It weighs nearly ninety pounds, and that’s too much for you to lift. Now then—here goes.” In a jiffy the full crate was oa the ground aud Kate began packing another. It held thirty-two quart cups in layers of eight, with slats between the layers. “These will do for toppers,’’Mr. Stout said, selecting a couple of baskets and putting them »3ide “Toppers, you see. he explained, “are cups of particularly tine looking berries which we put in the top row. We have to do this because everybody else in the business does it. Ail the com mission merchants and buyers know the custom, and judge the craic accordingly. If the top layer is very fine, they know that the other layers are good; if there are only ordinarily good berries on top, they think there’s nothing but leaves in t‘ bottom cups. Some people take great deal more pains with thetop layer than I do. They arrange all the berries in the upper baskets so that you only ate the points, but 1 let mir e lie any way, because I think the green hulls con trast prettily with the crimson berries, aud because the fruit loses its gloss when han dled too much (>•: course, if the pickers bring in an overfull measure we have to take off a few berries to keep them from being mashed. Kate’s finger tips, you see, * red from handling the fruit.” ‘Is it oftcu that the pickers fill their baskets beyond the measure?” he was asked. “Not.very, though sometimes it happens by cbnnce. About the only picker I ever saw Who did it for a purpose- was a man from Michigan. He was a grower, and he came here to see if he could get some new points. He went right in and picked at two cents a quart, but you could fill an extra cup from four of his quarts.” At this poiut Mr. Stout quit the shed hurriedly, aud, running toward the patches, .mooted: “if you step over those beds again, you young rascals, you’ll have to stop picking ” “If you’re not careful with those boys,” he said on returning, “they’ll step or kneel on more berries than they’ll pick. I don’t object to their eating them, they get tired of them so soon. Indeed, I wouldn’t object if they would eat all the ripe berries tney conhl find. We never ship ripe fruit, because it would get mashed during transportation. When 1 first went into raising straw berries I used to eat a good many, but new I am curiously affected by them. They give me a slight sore throat. I believe it is the effect of the potash they contain, l'otash, you know, is a cure for sore throat, and it seems a cause, too. But come and take a look at the patches. Kate wilt attend to giving out tickets while we are away. She is really engaged only to pack the crates; but she is ! st art and willing to lend u hand whenever fashioued growers still prefer the Wil The forager has a long, dark leaf, and its outlines are slender. Mr. Stout has found it to be more prolific than the Wilson, and also to bear prettier fruit. He says that growers do not consider flavor when they ship to the New York market, because city l*opiecare more for line tiutand firmness. The Crystal City is another prolific berry .Vilsoa and CresceaL and if the grower has Glendaks, which ripen about a week later than the ordinary fruit, the picking season will thus b« extended, and may last twenty five days or more, begin ning early in June. More crops can be picked, and the number of pickers em ployed will be smaller, than it the berries all ripened about the same time. Tbe Sharpless, named after a Pennsylvania amateur grow* r, is one of the largest ber ries. The reporter saw some larger than Seckle pears. The name has been corrupted to Shapeless, because their outline iadrreg - ular. It is a luscious fruit, melting away between the lips and leaving a sweet flavor lone afterward. Crystal Cities are trifle more ztcid, and on this account axe preferred by many. It takes considerable practice to become expert in identifying the different kind* of plants be fore they are in fruit. With some persons the classification is intuitive. ii is a boy on this farm,” said Mr. Stout, “who can be led blindfolded into a field containing many kinds, and after beinu turned around several times, he will identify in au instant the plant at his feet.” The Seth Boyden, No. 30, is another good berry, a little above the average size, finely colored and well flavored The Crescent has a pistillate blossom, while the Wilson, Sharpies and Boyden are stauienites. It is a curious fact that in order to get strong, healthy fruit from pisfillite.*, they should be planted not further than fifteen feet General Sherman seems to feel quite a lively interest in the proposed Atlanta canal.

Before reaching his horse at the gate he was recalled and delivered the woman of another girl baby. Again the physician took his leave, and again was recatie*!, bringing to light another girl baby. This was con sidered remarkable, and the physician was greatly puzzled over the matter. He, how ever, congratulated the husband on hts good fortune, aud departed for home.

In the spring of the year, when the patch is to be picked, the 'cultivator is run or.ee through the rows, excepting thosa from which plants for a new bed are to be taken. The strong est plants around the edges are usually dug out for this purpose. A patch is allowed to bear ior three years. After that the fruit becomes weak and unpalatable, be cause the potash is exhausted from the ground. .Chemical potash is an artificial stimulant, aud;the lasting effects are not so satisfactory as when the patch is p'oughed up and planted with a. variety, cf ciops during thesucceeding lour years.

His letter to Mr. Clay, during the pendency of the negotiations, demonstrates the influence of his counsels in bringing about the happy conclusion of that remarkable congress, in establishing upon a most permanent basis a lasting peace with England, because of its carefully guarding the rights of both parties, and settling forever that tbe claims of England to the right of search were inequitable and never to be renewed.

R l)jdge, special agent for the collection of statistics of agriculture, showing the to bacco product of the United States. f**r the census years of 1880 arid 1870, was issued from the census office to-day. A compara tive statement presented in the report shows an apparent increase in the produc tion of 80 per cent during the decade, the product in 1880 being pieced at 473 107 573 pounds, and that of is70at 262,735 341 pounds. This apparent increase, Mr.Dodge says,exaggerates the rial advance in tobacco. The cultivation, as preceding the census crop, was a small ore. and fear of taxation may have operated to prevent it full census of tobacco m 1870. The crop reported ia 1880 wa<? o::e of medium pro duction, not in excess of the present re quirements of home consumption aud Attention of the honorable board of trustees Is respectfully directed to this deficiency.

In the spring the patch is laid out in rows varying in width, hut rarely more than four feet, with a path about* one foot wide between each row. The plants are set in the rows at from one to five feet apart, accord ing to their running capacity. Tnen the field is manured broadcast and plowed in iightiy. After that it is hoed and gone over with the culuvat »r, running close to the rows and around in the same direction. Tne latter implement is used especially during a dry season, as it loosens the ground nicely and brings fresh earth to the surface. It is uuought Dy some that the cultivator does away with the necessity of frequent watering. The strawberry, perhaps more than any other plant, requires moisture, and Mr. Stout says he has known the plants to siand cold water during the hottest days, when it would destroy other plants.
