The wheat crop throughout the great corn produc-
ing states is reported on in a most satisfactory man•
ner.

The Cincinnati Price Current gives the following
comparative table of the wheat crop of 1849, as shown
in the United States census of 1830, and the esti•
mated crop of 1855 :

Totals 91,086,000 114,500,000
The New York Herald gives reasons for considering
that in the above estimate the increase is very much
underrated. lts figures show an aggregate of nearly
one hundred and fitty-seven million bushels of wheat
as the estimated product of the crop in 1855 in four-
teen States, which is an increase over the production:
of 1849 of over sixty-two and a halt millions of
Ihnshels.

table, the same paper says : If we continue our
figures for the balance of the States and territories we
shall be able to form some estimate of the entire crop
of the country. We put them down as follows :

By the above it will be seen that our estimates
make one hundred and sixty-eight and a half mil-
lion bushels of wheat as the total yield of the present
season, which is 68 million bushels over that of
1849. The value of the wheat crop in that year is
put down in the census report at 100,000,000 dollars.
If we value the present crop at a dollar and a quarter
a bushel—which will probably be its average price—
it will be worth an aggregate of more than two
hundred and ten and a half millions of dollars.
The "National Council of Coloured Americans"
have called a convention of free negroes, to meet at
Philadelphia in October. The council say
Years of well-intended efforts have been espended for the
especial freedom of the slave, while the elevation of the
free coloured man as au inseparable priority to the same,
has been entirely overlooked. But to every true friend of
freedom it must now be too obvious that the whole process
of operation against ill" huge and diabolical system of op-
pression and wrong has been shorn of more than half its
strength and efficacy, because of this neglect of the interests
of the free people of colour—interests so vital that we dare
net longer permit them to remain in a state of neglect. If
nothing else, then, these years of esperience have taught
every true friend of liberty that the elevation of the free
man is inseparable from, and lies at the very threshold of,
the great work of the slave's restoration to freedom, and
equally essential to the highest well being of our own com-
mon country. It is equally °below! that since the work of
elevation of the free people of eol:Jur is (•o to speak) the
lever by which the whole mutt rise, that work must now
receive a vigorous and heart.; support from all of those epos
whom it has a claim.
Among the objects which toe convention is to con•
eider are the educe!donal statue and facilities of free
negroes in Am;:rica, their business and industrial
relations, agrimdture, and the attainment of political
rights.
