PEN AND SCISSORS
"Resolutions re-nominating Abraham Lincoln for President, have
passed the Kansas Legislature unanimously."

SOUTHERN CROPS
(From the Richmond Examiner, Jan. 11)
" We regret to learn that there is very little prospect of any
considerable crops being made this year in several of the fertile
counties in Southwestern Virginia. The largest farmers in this portion
of the State - Campbell, Roanoke, Charlotte, Bedford, etc. - have pretty
generally furnished substitutes and devoted their time to the production
of large quantities of meat, bread stuffs, vegetables and forage. In
view of the late enactment rendering them again liable to military
duty, and the consequent impossibility of attending to their
plantation, these men have as a rule, hired out their field hands to
railroad or manufacturing companies, or sent them to the cities and
towns to be there employed. No corn crop will consequently be made and
but comparatively a small extent of land has been put in oats or wheat.
What little will be raised this year in these productive regions, will
principally be under the superintendence of the few old or disabled men,
unfit for military service, and will hardly suffice for home
consumption, leaving nothing for the support of the army, which has
heretofore drawn abundant supplies of provisions and forage from these
counties."

HOW SOON WILL THE WAR END
" This question is asked, in public and private, a hundred times a
day, and but few of the answers are ever based upon any sound reasoning
or reliable facts. It is in small, almost insignificant occurrences and
expressions that the true condition of the rebellion, and that of the
people of the South, is most truly indicated. A Richmond paper of a
recent date announces with extreme gratification the arrival of one
hundred live fat hogs in the neighboring city of Petersburgh, styles it
a "very pleasant kind of invasion," much more agreeable than to be
"invaded by a hundred lean, slab-sided Yankee prisoners," coming to eat
pork instead of producing it. Another article recommends a plan by
which every portion of the cattle and hogs slaughtered for the use of
individuals and the army may be made available, and significantly adds
that in "many portions of the States the supply of these animals is
exhausted." Thus, day after day, these little irrefutable indications
of the condition of the rebellion manifest themselves in a plain,
unprejudiced manner, and are worthy therefore, of general credence. Let
those who study the progress of the war carefully note these certain
developments, and they can obtain an idea of how soon the war will end,
which will be far more reliable than if based on almost any other
reasoning or hypothesis. The people of the South are so despotically
ruled, that their demands for peace will be stifled so long as there are
bayonets at the command of the rulers. But as the progress of our
armies narrows still more closely the country on which they depend for
food, actually starvation, now threatened, will become an inevitable
fact, unless submission to the rightful Government is promptly
accorded. So long as the lines of the armies of the rebellion covered
the States of Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Texas, the weapon of
starvation was one on which we could place no dependence. But the
condition of affairs now justifies the public in placing some dependence
on the indubitable evidences of a speedy dissolution which appear from
time to time in the rebel journals, and which they cannot repress if
they would. ....................N.Y. TIMES

---"The cultivation of coffee and tea promises to become an important
business in California. One nursery at Sacramento has five thousand
coffee plants on trial, and it is believed that there will be no
difficulty in bringing up the plant to a standard of hardiness to the
weather the mild winter of that climate."

GENERAL GRANT
"Major Gen. Grant passed through Louisville on Monday evening, en
route for St. Louis, to visit his son, who is dangerously sick."

CO. F's SUPPER
"Tickets for the supper to Co. F., 12th Ill. Infantry, went off
rapidly yesterday. We understand the Company arrived in Chicago last
evening. It is not certain whether they remain at Chicago to-day, or
whether they leave on the morning train for Galena. Co. Wallace
CAMPBELL, late the captain of this company, arrived last evening, on a
visit to his friends, and will be present. Gen. CHETLAIN remains over
until Friday, and will also be present. We are prepared to announce
that both HOPPE and SCHREINER have generously volunteered with their
fine Bands, to escort the Guards to the DeSoto , and will be present
through the evening.
WAINEY is making preparations to entertain the Guards and their
friends in a sumptuous manner.
Since the above was in type the Home Guards have held a meeting, and
voted to meet this evening, at their hall, at 6 1/2 o'clock, and proceed
thence to the Levee, there to form a torch light procession to meet the
Jo Daviess Guards at the Depot on the arrival of the cars, and escort
them to the DeSoto House. They also invite citizens to join the
procession.
Let us all turn out and give this nobel company of veterans such a
welcome as their merits deserve."

LOCALS IN BRIEF
"There is considerable water on the ice of the Mississippi river,
which will soon render it unsafe for crossing, unless the weather
changes soon."

MARRIED
"In Shullsburg, Jan. 22, by Rev. E. TASKER, Mr. Charles B. STEWART,
of Galena and Miss Mary Jane BROWN, of Shullsburg."
