In - sie Jersey and Maryland, and some portions '''' •Pennsyhania, came reports of immaturity, S • e a general -assurance is' given of a larger NI , tity and better quality than was expected u, 1 the summer. Virginia sutTered seeerely by - roe drought. ; 4 The drought was severe in North Carolina, ~i.Yeducing the crop materially as a whole. In South Carolina and Georgia the long season of hot and dry weather reduced materially the yield in the aggregate, with the same variation in different circumstances of soil and culture .-/,N in States further North. The crop of Ala .. , Wawa and that of Mississippi suffered still less, yet it is not an average one. Texas shows au increase in some•counties. The October freeze injured corn in Ken . , tuck - y, both in the shock and in the field, and wet weather was the cause of loss in low lands, In Missouri the crop was generally fine. The aggregate of the crop exceeds that of last year, and the quality is good. A reduction of seven teen per cent. is indkated in Illinois. The wet spring and cool summer delayed the ripen ing, and though there were no severe early frosts, the freezing 'weather in. October found much of the crop imperfectly matured. In Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and lowa the reduction in quality is still greater. The only States reporting an increase of quan tity ane Minnesota, Missouri, Florida, Ne braska, Kansas, Texas and California. Louisi ana and lowa have nearly an average. The principal corn-growing section of the West will average a reduction of fully twenty per cent. With all the increase of farmers to weft& and population to consume, and with . an actual enlarging of area under culture, it is , certain there was actually less corn produced t this year than in 1868. 'totion.—The drought of the Atlantic coast 1 'was . * less injurious to cotton than to corn. Superior cotton soils, well cultivated, rarely suffer for want of rain. Inferior, shallow and neglected soils, which produce smalli crops un der the most favorable circumstances, are often injured, and in the present season have, in many cases, yielded meagre returns for the little labor expended. Everywhere the 'acre age planted is greater than last year. ° The product, per acre in the sea-wash States is materially less, with very few exceptions. The use of fertilizers has largely increased the yield of those States; has given a better stand in fields where the plant had a feeble start, and stimulated to rapid growth and early ma turity. In one experiment reported the first picking of plants fed with guano yielded September 11 a tenfold increase over a similar area of un dressed soil, and at the end of the season the enriched soil had produced double the amount of that unenriched. The grasshoppers in some parts of Texas injured cotton that had been planted late. The culture in Texas is extending far beyond its limits in IS3O. One county, which made no return at date, lemming 4,300 bales, and others - , producing it for the first time, average :100 pounds per acre. Arkansas has made an average crop upon a somewhat increased area. The picidng commenced earlier than .I.sual. and the later bolls ripened more tharoughly. An examination of the crop tabulations which follow will show the estimated yield per acre in each State, and the coMparison with last - year, expressed as a per centage of the crop of I.iB : Product compared with that of 1868.--North Carolina, tAS per cent.; South Carolina, 85 per cent. ; Georgia, 95 per cent.; Florida; 107 per cent.: Alabama, 10S percent. ; Mississippi, 115 per cent.; Louisiana, 112 per cent.; Texas, 125 per cent.; Arkansas, 110 per cent.; Tennessee, 55 per cent. , Yield per acre—North Carolina, 145 pounds; South Carolina, 123 - pounds; Georgia, 150 Bounds; Alabama, 176 pounds; htictqissippi, 201 pounds; Louisiana, 296 pounds; Texas, 275 pounds; Arkansas, 251 pounds; Tennessee, 100 pounds. • • The aggregate product, in accordance with returns received to this date, is little more than ten per cent. above the yield of 1868, or about 2,700,060 commercial bales, or fully 3,000,000 of bales of 400 pounds each. Potatoes.—The potato crop is very large. The greatest increase is respectively in Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois, lowa and Missouri. All of the Eastern States, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and all the Western, except Min nesota, have advanced in production, but the Southern States, excepting only Florida, Loni 7 siana and Texas, have reduced their aggregate. The sweet potato crop is somewhat less than the average. Tobacco.—The latest returns indicate a re duction of one-third in Virginia and Maryland, one-sixth in Kentucky, 16 per cent. in , Michi gan, with a slight decrease in Indiana and Illinois. Massachusetts, West Virginia, MichiL Dan, Wisconsin and the States west of the Mis sissippi have somewhat enlarged their produc tion. A fair Summary of these returns . would seem to iudii.'ate an aggregate reduction of about 20 per cent. • Fruits.—The apple crop was a more than average one in the West, with the exception -;of - Ohio, where a reduction of 20 per cent. is Indicated. Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island made but half a crop; New Ilampshire and Connecticut, three-fourths, while Vermont enjoyed nearly .an average yield ; New York 1 . and I enn,)lNania suffered fully a tenth reduc tion; New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and ; , Virginia produced crops from full to large, and t the more Southern States' report generally a +) i , . small yield. In Calhoun county, Michigan, 100,060 bushels—onethird of the crop—were i+ frozen. 'ln Athens county,. Ohio, many thou . sands of bushels have been frozen on the trees. • Similar statements come from all parts of the 0 ;West. dial.

[From the Catholic Telegraph.] An effort will be made at the Cinincil to is-, sue a decree prohibiting any music but plain? chaunt in the services of the Church. Many excellent, influential and pious ecclesiastic; favor this movement, but we believe avast majority, both of priests and pdople, will de precate any change. In outdoor processions and in the ceremonies of. Holy Week, the ancient chaunt may be preferred; also, in the consecration of churches, bells, &c.: but in the High Mass and Vesper services, few will be willing to have it intro duced. In the great cathedrals of. Europe the. roar of the Gregorian note may be tolerated, because mitigated by distance ; but to intro duce it the chapels and churches now would be more than hutnan nature could bear. We know a clergyman who, when officiating in a small chapel in the country, was unex pectedly assaulted by sixteen big-chested Alsacians roaring the Gregorian chaunt until they were red in,the face, and the poor priest bad like to die of, consternation. He left that part of.the country very soon. The Catholic World has tried to ridicule the modern music; but when that stately periodical attempts to be funny, it reminds us.of an ele phant trying to dance. It should know that the English is not a musical language, except for ballads and melodies, and that the repeti tion of the words by Mozart would be very unpleasant in our language, whereas in *ho Latin the iteration • does not strike the hearer unpleasantly. ireligld, too, that women have just as good a right'to sing the praises of God. as men ; but by the adoption et - the Gregorian style of music they are ex cluded from the choir. We feel certain that our opinion on this subject will be heartily censured, but we cannot expect anything else from people who prefer no to music. AMUSEIIIEI4I%.

Messrs. Fields, Osgood it Co.' of Boston, announce for January 8 a new honk by Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, wherein the author, as we learn from the extract , below, taken from the introductory chapter, proposes to answer the criticisms upon • her Atlantic Byron story, and present certain facts In support other posittou not hithertemule pub lic. Mrs. Stowe says: The interval since my publication of " The True Story of Lady Byron's Life" has been one of stormy discussion and of much invec tive. have not thought it neeeftary*disturb my spirit and confuse my Ouse of Aight by even an attempt at reading tai e,,,a2any abusive articled that both here and in England have followed that disclosure. Friends have under taken the task for me, giving me from time to time the substance of anything really worthy of attention which came to view in the tumult. It appeared to me essential that this first excitement should in a measure spend itself before there would be a passibility of speaking to any purpose. low, when all would seem to have spoken who can speak, and,it is to be hoped,have said the utmost they can say, there seems a propriety in listening calmly, if that be possible, to what I have to say.in reply. And, first, why have I made this disclosure at all? To ibis I answer briefly, •because I consid ered it my duty to make it.. I made it in defence of a. beloved, revered friend, whose memory stood forth in the eyes of the civilized world charged with most re pulsive crimes, of which I certainly knew her innocent. I claim, and shall prove, that Lady ityron's reputation has been the victim of a concerted attack, begun by her husband during her life time, and coming to its climax over her grave. I claim, and shall prove, that it wale tot I who stirred up this controversy in this year 1869. I shall show mho did do it, and who is respon sible for bringing on me that hard duty of making these disclosures, which it appears to me ought to have been mule by, others. I claim that these facts were given to the un guarded by any promise or seal - of secrecy, ex 'Dressed or implied ; that they were lodged with me as one sister rests her story with another for sympathy, for counsel, for defence. Never did I suppose the day would come that I should be obliged to so cruel an anguish as this use of them has been to me. Never did I suppose that—when those kind bands that had shed nothing but blessings, were lying in the help lessness of death, when that gentle heart, so sorely tried, and to the last so full of love, was .lying cold in the tomb, a countryman in Eng land could be found to cast the foulest slanders on her grave and not one in all Eng- Janff to raise an effective voice in her defence. I.admit the feebleness of my plea in point of execution. It was written in a state of ex hausted health, when no labor of the kind was safe for me-when my band bad not strength to hold the pen, and I was forced to dictate to another. I have been told that I have no reason to congratulate myself on it as a literary effort. U my brothers and sisters! is there then nothing in the world to think of but literary efforts ? Task any man with a heart in his bosom, Jibe had been obliged to tell a story so cruel, becauae his mother's grave gave no rest from slander—l ask any woman who had been forced to such a disclosure to free a dead sister's name from groasest insults, whether she would have thought, of making this work of bitterness a literary success? Are the cries of the oppressed, the gasps of the dying, the last prayers of mothers—are any words wrung like drops of blood from the human heart to be judged as literary efforts? My fellow-countrvinen of America, men of the press, I have thine you one act ofjustice— of all your bitter articles I have read not one. I shall never be troubled in the future time by the remembrance of any unkind word you have said of me, for at this moment I recollect not one. I had such faith in you, ii such pride in my countrymen, as men with whom, above all others, t e cause of woman was safe and sacred, that was at first aston ished and incredulous at, what I heard of the course of the American press, and was silent, not merely from the impossibility of being heard, but from grief and shame. But re ,Opetion convinces.mathat you were r in many cases, acting from a misunderstanding of facts and through misguided honorable feeling; and I still feel courage, therefore, to ask from you a fair hearing. Now, as I have done you this justice, will yon also do me the justice to hear me seriously and candidly? . What interest have you or - I, my brother and my sister, in this short life of ours, to ut ter anything but the truth? Is not truth be tween man and man and between man and woman the foundatien on which all, things rest ? Have you not, every individual of you. who mast hereafter give an account yourself alone to God, an interest to know the exact truth in this matter, and a duty to perform as respects that truth ? Hear me, then, while I tell you the gosition in which I stood, and what was my course in relation to it. A shamelese attack on my friend's memory bad appeared in The Blackwood of July, 18,69, brawling Lady Byron as the vilest of oring nala, and recommending:the Guiccioli book to a Christian public as interesting from the very fact that it was the avowedproduction of Lord Byron's mistress, No efficient urotest was ' against this ttage 1 England, tied foiltell'a Living d_ltie rehrinted The Blackwood ar ticle, and the Harpers, the largest publishing ! house in America, perhaps in the world, re , published the book. :Its statements, with those of The Blackwood, Pall Mall Glatelte and other English periodi cals, were being propagated • through all the . young reading ancrwriting world of America.

They were few in num ber- compared with the great world, and were silent. I saw these foul slanders crystalizing into' history uneontradieted ,by friends who knew her personally, who, firm, in their own , knowledge of her , virtues, and limited in view, as aristocratic circles gener ally are, had no idea otthe widthtif the world they were living in, and the exigency of the crisis.
