We haigve never before seen such a magniicent crop, eseci a nly in Abbeville County, and If no disaster befalls It, there wlM be iar vested the largest smll gran' crop ever grown n this State. We noticed rust in one weld of oheat, but It Is thought that there will be no serious damage from his cause. We notice& quite a number of mow Ing machines at nearly every strtion along the roa-, without which it is said not half the crop could be saved. At the ainual meeting of the stockhold ere of the Atlantic and French Broad Val. -ey Balroad at Abbeville C. 11. on the 4th Instant, Capt. Cochran was elected Presi dent, and the old Board of Directors was re-elected, except that Prof. Hood was elected Director in place of Capt. Cochran, the President. The President. was directed to confer with the President of the Edge, #eld-and Trenton Road, and to call a meet ing of stockholders of both roads nt as efrly. a day as practicable at. Ninety Six. fot' the purpose of effecting a consolidation under the recent Act of the Legislaiure. The pieeting will probably be held in June. After the consolidation, a new board of dlireotorb will be elected, who will, under thenew charter, elect a President. We learn that much enthusiism prevailed amongst the stockholders, and that Ihe early completion of the road was considered as sured. T'he Politoal Trials.

There has nou yet been a conviction in all these petit ical ti ela, and the conspirators against the lib erties of the people have thuns far been thwa'rted.

Your letter received a few lays ago. Since then have been quite usy closing up a contract with part of our ine from this polt. to the North Carolina ;tate line. For this portion of the line, as ol. king and myself explained to you, we' mad to apply for a new charter, which we btained, and was required to go through iertin lega' forms before the entire object iould be effected. This we now have just tecomplished, now we only have a short. ink in the State of North Carolina to con ilect our entire line or system. Thits part. n North Carolina ha to form our connection with the A. and F. B Valley of North Car Lhina at or near Brevard to the head waters Df Pigeon river on the Tennessee and North Carblini. State line. This will require simply an organization under the general laws, and the legal time for the Iticorpora. 1ors to meet after the organization. All of t his is now under way and will be consum mated as soon as red tal e will permit. These legal delays have been very annoying to tme, especially when our desire was to com p'ete the organizition of the consolidated line at as early a period as we could. I suppose 1 can sympathize with your people in their great anxiety to see the cars as soon as the contract is signed. This work that we are now at is one t hat requies muich care and attention, and we don't wish, if possible, to mike any blunders or mistakes in forming one of the beat and most. substant'vI Railroad lines in the United St ates. I will writ e you as often as I have leisure, but. you can tvel nssured that if you don't hear as ofteni as I should write you, that I am at work tor the interest of us all, and do not. intend quitting' until the final is sat8isthicl.ory to all.

The crowd began to gather early, so when yojr correspondent urrived on the school grounds there were many young people enjoying Oro quet, while others were tete a tete. Thus the early morning hour were spent, until -the "rattle" of tht belt called all to the house.

But space will not admit of a full description of all the beauties there to be seon, which, however well do sci ibed, would have to be seen to be eijoyed. The exercises of the day were op. ened by Capt:.in Lewis, who preseni ted to the large audience the girls of his school, and said in substance as fol'ows: "Kind Friends and Patrons: We preselit you this morning out Mlay Flo wers-peren n ml--bloom i ng not only inl May, but all of the year; not exotic plants, but born and reared in our own beautifiul and lovely Piedmont Belt., under tho blue moutaliins, partaking of the nature of their fiesh air and pure water, tair specimnetis of liealth mnd beauty; Ill they need is cultivation and training.

In reply Mr. Stephens has writ ten that a puibliV man ought. to be at all imos at. the command of his people, if' it lay In his power, and that with his present state of health there is no imperious reason why he should not enter the gubernatorial canvass, provided there is a general wish in the party that he should do son. It is known that Governor ('olquitt,. exSonator Gordon and- Senator Brown have b~een urging Mr. Stephens to accept the Demcoratie nomination, and it has recently boen given out that, ex.
