A correspondent of the Chicago Republi. tan, writing, from Bamboo Wisconsin de . scribes the great hop growing region of Sank county. We make a few' extracis For many years the only hop-yard in thi county was one of three or four acres, in the Village of Lyons. In 1861.62 the peo ple hereabouts began to awaken to a 'knowl edge of tho enormous profits to be derived from that branch of agriculture, and, with a rapidity almost beyond comprehension, the farms and gardens of a hundred town ships have, since that time, been converted into hop yards. In Sauk, l Tuneau, and Coluthbia counties, the number lof acres to be harvested this sea son eiceeds that of any previous year by more than one hundred per cent., "All the world and his wite"—aye, and his wife's "relations," and his children, and grand children, too, are hop pickers here, It is a Matter of economy, of abso lute necessity. A coinpetent nurse, em ployed at from $2 to s3'per diem, will take charge of a half dozen babies-in-arms and save a corresponding number of hands to to the hop growers. That the crop be promptly_ gathered'concerns not merely the producer-and the dealer, but every citizen to an-equal extent.. The gold of the banker; - thegoods, and exchange- of the merchant; the lands and homestead of the speculator; the pauper's crust, and the poor laborer's daily bread, hang on: the vine-circled poles; and all these are equally periled by delay. • Yet not alone is it this necessity which, attracts the women so universally to the hqp yards. A very Large` shareof these go for the.wages. A considerable number are enticed by, the certainty of enjoying a season of roistering fun, :with plenty of company. But, to complete the list, the wives and daughters of the wealthy go hop picking, as they allege, solely for "the benefit of their health." The expression has become a cur rent joke among the pickers • generally. With a praisewerthy spirit-of martyrdom do these hopeful seekers for health pursue their object. Cold, foggy mornings, and dismal rainy days,. damp not their courage,' nor shake their resolution. Toothache, neural gia, rheumatism cast not a shadow o'er their confidence. Nothing short of a sudden re; - duction of the' wages paid, strange as it may appear, can effect that object. ' Yet all the resident Pickers, old and young, form but an insignificant fraction of the force requiredto gather the harvest The entire population of this county town, numbering some three or four thousand, are employed ivithin a 'wilds of one and a half -or two miles from their homes. Several hundred are - engaged in the limits of the town itself. Last year, as was 'estimated from the most reliable sources, 40,000 people—the greater number women—came into Sauk county alone, during the hop picking season. At this time,--the presenl season being nearly twice as large as the lasi : it is generally con ceded-that there can be but few less than 75,000 strangers in this One county, and from 140,000 to 150,000 in all the hop region. - The vast army of harvesters come togeth sr from every point, near or remote in the State, and from ,hundreds of places in Northern Illinois.. .A very large majority' ofthose who come only from adjacent man ties, within a range of, say, fifty miles in either direction, have been engaged by con tract, by some of the most extensive grow ers, since mid-sunimer,or earlier, and many since the picking of last year. There were agents Who made - a point to travel through remote, counties, east and south, - and se , ,cure hands in this way, but they soon found that the advantage of this cohrse - promised to be mainly found on the side of the pick ers, in view of 'a decline in wages at harvest, time and they accofdingly closed the con -tract-business. Thirty bents per box was at - that time offered, then forty cents; and many thousands would have been secured at that price, hut :that 'they indignantly refused these terms, expecting filly or sixty cents, .and willow to work for' no less than the former at anytime. Those who were fool ish enough to= engage. for less, have &re saxded their contracts since, and get full pay. The hop growers are completely at their mercy. Fully one-half of the harvest' is ripened and ready for the box at one and the same time. It must be gathered as promptly as the greatest number of hands who can work in the yard and 'be accornincdated in the house can do_the work. Delay is perilous; lice„ rust and mildeW they begin their ray -ages at any .moment and destroy thousands of capital, while hundreds only can be se - -cared.' . . . The Singular.Phenemenen of theEruptlon. • Daring the whole of July Mount Vesuvi us has been in a state of greater or leas erup , , - tion, and has exhibited a- most magnificent , 'spectacle. - For four months within a few , been . ' . days, it has continuously _pouring, forth lava'in spite the , predictions of the learned that the-end was -drawing near; so : that our 'professors are'under 'the' . .necessity of distinguishing three phases of the erns . tion—the first extending_from the night of 'thel2th or 'l3th of November to the 15th of - January; the second frOm the 15th of. Janu• cry to the 11th of February,:during which, interval,it exhibited, great varieties with less activity; the third from the 11th of Februa ry to the present thne, a period of diminution . according to. Palmiera, though appearances and daily reports are such as to refute the hypothesis: About the beginning of this latter period little lava flowed, and the im 'fression was that the eruption was about; over; but on the 12th greater activity,which continued" 7to - ; the 15th of February, was observed; M.'S detonations were loud, generally in , the morning and evening; some , stones werei:thrown out, and then comparative silence ensued. During these two or three days sev eral shocks 'of earth, -quake were registered , and: the apparatus of variation was disturbed. A few , sublimates wers,collected on the summit, but not suffi ~ cleat to Mark the end of the eruption/1 On ;the 17th , yet greater activity was percepti and its pe riodicity . was confirmed; twice a day Vesuvius put forth' all its ener ...,4141, Interesting equally the scientific and - the curious. , The guides of Vesuvitie'w,ho itiaide in Resins say.that In their town great shocks were. felt,. sufficient ,to make their doors and windows ;.t*mble, Coluirms stones, they add, were shot into the, air, at the height of three hundred metro, some-, • 'thing littlii.'ShartOrnine hitndred fellt, :The, lava, too progressed conelderablyv:foraiiPi .at the foot of the crone; five different stream's, Which-,,potiFed over like cascades., •On.the — lBth the great cone began again to roar with. considerable ',violence, audr two shocks• of earthquake were, felt, -distinctly in Resins, " the very summit - cif thEcone fell in; forming • by the obstruction of the , matefial three, ..oreaters, which threw oat large quantities of stone, and offered, as It were a mogul& cent display of fire-works. The entire cone - trembled, too, as if shaken• by an earth quake, for four or five seaside, while later in the day, the lava forced an opening in the direction of the Piano delle Ginistere, and flowed onward in a' stream of full ten metres in width. From this time to the end r:e ^ r I= of the monthAlle mountain inis continued to thunder, and to throw out masses"of red hot laya,which, dividing into many streams, presents:at a geat distance a:spectacle of great beauty.' Frequent, though slight, shocks have been felt at' Resins, and, in deed, other places in - the immediate neigh borhoOd, but they create no alarm, as the people are so accustomed to their return. Oaths night, however, -of the 27th, there was one unusually 'strong: It seems now to be confirmed that the volcano acts under lunaiinfluence. In truth, the periods of its greatest eruption get every day about half an hour later, coinciding with the evolu tions of the planet. I have only to note the nature of the materials which have been thrown out during the - third phase. The ashes and sublimates have been-in small quantities, which, according to , Palmiera's own assertion on several occasions, indicate that the eruption is not near its termination. The sublimates which have appeared, how ever, on the smoke holes, have been chlor ide of copper and lead, while the absence of chloride of iron has been noted as remark able; although on the top of the cone it has been united with "oligisto" iron. The con course of visitors is greater than ever. So'Mere' Pay and Bounty. As an evidence of the immense &d , disburse ents of the Government during the past fiscal year, occasioned by the war, and par tially accounting for the increase in the pub lic debt, as per last statement, a few figures have been obtained from the records of the Treasury Department. It is ascertained that the pay and bountFdivision of the Sec ond Auditor's office, during the past fiscal year, adjudicated 102,000 claims of deceased and discharged soldiers, involving an amount of $19,500,000. The number of claims of the same class rejected—durig the same time was 41,000, making a total of 293,000 claims disposed of, carrying money ranging in sums from $25 to $5OO into 162,- 000 families—mostly the poor. More than 500,000 letters were written, in addition to the numerous printed circulars and blanks mailed fromthe office. No frauds were com mitted,, and the mistakes will not amount to one-tenth of one per cent. of the amount collected. Of the 900,000 claims filed in the Departinent since the war began, 80,000 re main yet to be disposed of. These are most ly complicated cases, difficult of settlement, and many o 1 which hare been suspended for additional evidence. yn the Ist of Septem— ber there were twenty-six thousand addi tional bounty claims on file. AY attempt was recently made at Chalons to poison Marshal Bazaine and a number of other prominent French Generals. An in vestigation led to such startling results that the whole force hitherto employed at the staff kitchen was replaced by other men, and several of the military, cooks are still in cus tody. Bazaine -- t — extremelyunpopular among his brother officers. When blunt old general Husson 3 ecently entered the staff-tent where Marstial Bazairie and half a dozen Generals were assembled, the veteran exclaimed, "How do you', Generals ?" shook hands with all the Generals, and took no notice of Bazaine. The' soldiers _now shout, whenever Bazaine makes his appear ance, "How do you, Generals ?" To ILLUSTRATE the wonderful rise in the value of property,iand the great changes made in New York in a short time, Signor Blitz relates that fifteen years ago he hired a house and seven acres of ground where Fifty-third street now is, at $2OO per an num. The entire property was offered in fee to him for $5;000, an offer which he re jected. Had, he accepted it, his $5,000 would have grown, by this time, into half a million or more of dollars. - • A.

I hereby C t rtifv that I have used tobacco for thir ty sears past, and .for the last fifteen : years I have used two pounds per month. I have made attempts to leave off at dinerent times. I have left ott one year at a time, but always continued to banker fur It until I used Orton's Preparation, which has coal pledely cured me of the appetite for tobacco. I woad recommend all who are affected witu this ter rible habit to try the preparation, which will cer tainly cure it if the directions are followed. W. P. HEALD. trrom E. W. Adkins. Knoxville. Tenn.l ' KNOXVILLE, Tenn.,August 5. 1867. This is to certify that I had sed tobacco to such an extent that , tny health had become greatly im paired, and my whole system deranged and broken down. In June. 1867, I purchased one box of Or ton's Preparation, and after using it 1 found that I was completely cured. I have not had any hanker ing or desire for tobacco since using the preparation. I believe it to be all that it is recommended, and I would advise all who wish to quit the use of tobacco to try one box of Orton's Preparation. E. W. ADKINS. (From John Morrill. Bangor, Me.
