The Wheat Crop.—The Norfolk Jour
nal of the 22d inst, says: “ Wo are glad
to learn by accounts we see from various
parts of the State, that the wheat looks
very well everywhere. Throughout the
Valley it is extremely promising; on the
Roanoke and its branches it never pro
sented a finer appearance at this time of
the year; while the same may be said of
the counties aloDg the James River. ”
The Chicago JW&tm* thinks that wheat, j
the great staple of the Northwest, can J
scarcely get much lower. It says : “Onr
farmers, in their present preparations for
planting, will probably turn their atten
tion more to other grains; and itis hard
ly probable tbafc this, as well as all other
wheat-producing regions, will have an
other as abundant crop this year as dar
ing the last two years.

You say that I have, prultably, many

doubtless, wrought changes us great iu

Terry of doing. He waived all constitu

Mr. Wooten approved the resolution
on constitutional grounds. Mr. Harris
said Gen. Terry merely wanted an indica
tion of the will of the people, and that
wo were not acting under the Constitu
te n of Geirj.iL Mr. W. replied that
Senators had sworn to support that Con
stitution. That was the tenure of their
office, aud no power on earth could al -
solve them from it. Higbee thought
they had been relieved from that oath ;
when, with withering scorn of "manner,
that abashed the interpreter, Mr. Wooten
asked, “Who relieved you ? Where did
he get power of absolution/” He af-
pealed to Sanators not to stulify them
selves. Candler and Wooten opposed
the resolution strennonsly, because it pro
posed to confer upon the Governor the
power to raise funds for some undefined,
unascertained means, for the purpose of
paying an uncertain and doubtful amount
of indebtedness. It would confer blindly
npon one man the unlimited power to
sack the State of Georgia.
Senator Nunually said he did not take
the position that money conld be appro
priated by resolution. This was not an
appropriation, merely an expression of

Scott called the attention of the Speak

he had rnled the motion to reconsider
out of-order.
The Speaker did not recollect that the
point had been made before. If it was,
lie was acting under instructions from
Terry.
Price stated that on a previous occasion
he hud referred to members immediately
sworn in, consequently the motion to re
consider could effect nothing in this in
stance—they had not been sworn in.
Darnell proposed to reconsider, bnt
did not desire to exclude any county in
Georgia from representation iu the
House. He believed that under the re-
constructiou laws they conld now be ad

The difference between the words
illusion, hallucination and ecstacy it- very
simple. The illusion is tho product of
fals*« impressions, and originates in the
diseased state of the perception or con
ception. The hallucination is tin pro
duct of false contemplations, and origi
nates in an impaired judgment, or a dis
turbed association of ideas. The ecstacy
is a higher degree of hallucination, the
understanding having yielded entirely to
the imagination, and the nervous system
iu a state of excitement overpowers the
judgment, while it elevates and iuvige-
rates momentarily the other faculties.
One seeing a table moving and hearing
rape, supposing to see spirits doing it, la-
bora under an illusion. A Methodist in
a camp meeting, shouting and screaming
about the approaching devil, or holy
ghost, la in a state of hallucination. Re
vival preachers jumping across the under
standing into a flood of chimeric words
and exerting tropes, are either in an ecs
tacy, or ont on business.

It is generally known that soon after
the death of General Jackson, the Stone
wall brigade obtained from Mrs. Jackson
the privilege of erecting % monument
over his remains.
The amount raised was lost in 1365, and
the sad reverses in onr Southern country
have prevented the completion of their
patriotic and loving purpose. Seven
years have- past since onr General fell,
and we now ask you to unite with us in a
suitable memorial of lave and respect;
one that more than all others meets with
the cordial, approval of Mrs. Jackson.

Scott did not object to taking up the
Senate resolution*, but objected to the
resolntion themselves. They adopted the
appropriation bill; it thus originated in
the Senate, while parliamentary and
constitutional law required bills of that
sort to originate in the Hons*?; another
point was, that the House, before adopt

surance from the Speaker that tho bill
should lie taken np by sections, and now,
merely because the Speaker confessed
himself mistaken, wn3 the Honse and
the country to be deceived. Relief had
taken up the time of tho Legislature for
the last five years, and why should we
tako up any more time with it. Ho op
posed tho whole measure and publicly
protested against the •endorsement of
tho resolutions.

just the other way, with a few honorable
exceptions. The reason for this is'plain
