The tobacco crop of Virginia will be short this year. Rich silyer discoveries have recently been made in the Indian Territory. The antl-monoDolista of -New York held a convention at Utica Thursday. There has been an increase of 6,566 voters in Baltimore within the past two years. There is a negro postmaster at Mon- v rvmAr. S. C. who can neither read nor write. BIGS JPBICES. Not within the past generation at least has this country witnessed a drought that will compare in the ex tent of territory over which it nas spread and the amount of harm done with that of this summer. The wneat crop was fortunately harvested before it set in in earnest, but nearly all other crops have suffered incalculably from it In consequence the prices of those products, Which constitute the food of man and beast, are advancing in price with every indication that they will continue to advance until they reach a flffure that will make the daily supplies no easv matter to the laboring classes. The following, which we clip from the Atlanta Constitution of yesterday, mill rivft some idea of the extent of damage done by the drought in the West, the great grain-growing and meat producing section of tne country : fhA horinsr of the artesian -well at Durham, which is now in progress, is being watched witb interest, as its success or failure will determine to some extent whether other wells in this State will be bored or not Should this well result in giving a supply of , good water, of course others will be sunk in other localities . where rP-urft -JWter ,.Is scarce, especially in the eastern part of t.hfl Kfaiifl in the low. -flat sections. Should good watey in sufficient quanti ty be reached by this attempt it will do much for Durham, for one of its greatest needs now is pure water, the absence of which causes, we are told, much sickness and makes residence there not as desirable as it would other wise be. t , .

(Some thought it was forced up by corners, and frequently one cause and then another was given for the advance. On investigating the subject the true reason for the rapid advance is apparent to every -thinking man. We have had during the sum mer all over the United States an un nrecedented drouth . It has affected the corn crop in the west more than any crop for years. The news from all parts of the west indicates a very short crop of corn. Yesterday we met Mr. John N.Dunn, of the firm oi .Dunn, Alexander cc to., who has just returned from a trip north and west. Mr. Dunn went from here to New York, and from there to Cana dozen of them and recaptured the cattle, drove them back and with them all other "cattle and horses found on the way. These cattle and horses being missed a number of Americans organized, followed and a fight; with the Mexicans resulted in the recapture of the cattle, and now they propose to carry the war into Mexico to avenge the death of the men killed. Troops have been placed on the Mex ican border to meet the revolters and trouble is anticipated, Fremont, who is nominally Governor of the territory is absent as usual, and there is no one in the territory to assume any author!- The Richmond State advises Guiteau that his safest place is in jail just now. An opinion in w hich he probably coincides. Gov. Cornell has been added to the list of men that Conklihg does not speak to. Conkling made Cornell gov ernor. The annual re-union of Geu. Grant's old regiment takes place at Effingham, 111., on the 19th, 20th and 21st of Sep tember. The Philadelphia Times having paid its respects to "dirt, death, Donahoe, and the cigarette," is now taking in the toy pistol. Dr. Hammond will be a very much disappointed man if the President don't die of his wound. He still persists in the opinion that he will. The New York Herald says the Democrats are so confident of carrying the State at the next election that there is a lively scramble for places on the State ticket. It has been decided to cause an ex amination to be made of all the banks liable to internal revenue tax (except national banks) in the principal cities of the country. A colored United States soldier showed pluck when attacked by rob bers while riding in a train near Gren ada, Col.

"The dry weather has literally burnt up the corn in the greater part of the country through which I passed. I was informed also by the train men and Pullman conductors who run between Cairo and New Orleans that the corn cropwas wholly ruined by the drouth all the way from Illinois down to New Orleans. I saw thousands of acres of corn in the heart of the State of Illi nois which could not yield a peck of corn to the acre. In Western Kentuc ky, west Tennessee and middle Tennes see the prospect is some better, but one fourth of the usual yield will certainly ho as much as will be housed of the corn cron of 1881. The corn crop of the United States was never before so com pletely blasted." "How are prices in view of the failnre in the crop? "Theiresent appreciation in bread stuffs is an evidence of the fact that the American people do not realize the extent of the deprivation which is look ing them in the face. From what I can learn Indiana has suffered almost as much as Illinois, and I am convinced that the blasted sections of the West will need the entire surplus made in that part of the country' "That will seriously interfere with the plans of the South, will it not?" "Yes, and next spring and summer we must look only to the South for the leading field crops. It is the great duty of the farmers ana planters or our sec tion to grow all manner of crops this fall which will feed man or beast." "Do you look for fancy priceB ?"

The re-adjuster-politicians are trying to have some of the federal office hold ers in Virginia removed for "abusing Mahone." Where's the postal card man? It is said that the President recently stated that he would not consent to re ceiva the subscriptions to the fund for Mrs. Garfield. The fund now amounts to $155,000. An Iowa farmer whipped his daugh ter so severely that she died from the punishment. She had kept company with a. -vonnsr man whom her father had forbidden her to receive.

The truth is, and I five it to you solely because I feel that ought to, that, "in the year 1882 the South must bread the South." Our advice to the laborer would be to begin to economize now and prepare to meet the day of high prices which is not far off. Let him not spend his money in folly nor in dissipation, but save it to purchase the provisions he will need when the cool days of au tumn and the cold days of winter come. When Washington correspondents run short of news now they begin to figure up what the, President's doctor bill will be, and are liberal enough to allow the surSeons in regular attend ance $100 a day each, and $1,000 a day each to Drs.

Advices from Washington represent the condition of the President as some what improved-within the past few days, so much so that his stomach con tinues to retain the nourishment ad ministered. The bulletins are guarded in expression and while they hold out the hope of ultimate recovery are not sanguine, by any means, especially those sent by Mr. Blaine to the Minis ter at London. Hope has been encour aged so much-and been so often disap pointed that the public have now be- i MAI. gun to regara tne recovery or tne President as simply among the chances, and the chances rather against him. The effort now is to build up his strength which has been fearfully wasted, and this must be done by the administration of liquid food in such small quantities as the impaired condi tion of his stomach will permit His gain of strength will be necessarily very slow even should everything pro gress smoothly and no backsets oc cur. To-day is Saturday, which seems to have proved the trying day with him, to a degree of almost apparent fatality. Let us trust that this one may be an exception and that the hopes which the bulletins now hold out may not be dis appointed. He Has suffered much, suf fered with a fortitude and patience that but few men would have shtwn. It is estimated that the sugar crop of Louisiana will be one-third less this year than last, so people will have to economize somewhat in their sweetening. The President enters upon his sev enth week of suffering to-day. Satur days have proved the trying days to him, his relapses having occurred on Saturdays. A very good quality of paper is now being made out of pine straw, that has been looked upon heretofore asjrentirely useless. j The tax rate is less in the city of Philadelphia than it. has bjsen in five years, and the streets dirtier. Executive Mansion, 12:30 p. m. The President's condition has percepti bly improved during the last 24 hours. The parotid swelling is evidently di minishing and it has not pained him aince last night. He is taking to-day an increased quantity of liquid food by the mouth, which is relished, and pro duces no gastric irritation. His pulse is now 106, temperature 98.8, respira tion 17. D. W. Bliss, J.
