We are much gratilicd in being able to state
that this association is in furnishing condition.
On Tuesday evening last the Band sercnadcd our
citizens for the first time and doubtless afforded
much qualification to them. The association is
yet in its infancy many of its members having
received only ten lessons from their teacher, Mr..
baldwin, but the accuracy with which they play
several pieces, reflects much credit on their pcrsc-
yerencc and industry. Judging from this pcrIor-
nance, and Of the character and standing of the
gentlemen composing the association, together
with the ability and perseverance of the teacher,
we may safely predict that the Ottawa Band
will ere long stand second to none in the State
We understand the Band will head the process.

the surrounding country should not fail to en-
brace this opportunity of witnessing their pcrior.

The CrOps,

From the information we have been able to
gather of the crops in this section or,hc State, we
believe that the prospects Of heavy crops were
never more promising. The wheat crop is rep.
resented as being exceedingly promisng-corn
looks fine, and other products are alike promis-
ing.
The crops in portion of Ohio, are thus repre-
scented by tls lebanon CO., Star: awe learn
bya gentleman who has lately returned from q
trip through rorthcrn Ohio, embracing the most
extensive wheat district in our State, that the pros
pect for heavy crops of wheat was never moro
hattering thannow: EOfWarrcn county, however
we cannot speak so encourusingly. The fly, or
frost, has destroyed many fields almost entirely,
so thatin some instances they have been plough
cd up, while others that remain will scarcely pro-
duce the seed still there are many of fair prom
Use, and upon the whole the crop may be found at
harvest not far from the average. A gentleman
who has Just returned from tour through But
Ter, Prcble and Dark counties, gives it as his
opinion that in those counties there can be no
more than half crop"
The Ohio Statesman, OF the Sh inst says: "a
letter from Ncwtown, Hamilton county, states that
the weather is warm and dry corn crops look
bad--worse than ever saw them at this season
Of the year."
The crops in Iowa are said to be promising.
The Burlington Iowa) Gazette, of the 18th inst.
says; "The weather for the last week has been
unusually warm and dry for the season. The
crops, however, very promising through the
whole Territory. Thchcalth of Burlington aud
vicinity never was better tfan at present."

DreadjdRaAroad Accident-The Philadelphia
Times, of the sth inst. says: "Sx large railroad
cars were prcciptatcd from the inclined plane into
the river at Hudson, n. Y, on Saturday, the 9Th
INST The whole train was materially injured,
and one OF the cars entirely lost. The worst part
OF the accident was the death of several persons
IN the cars. The bodies of two have been rcco-
'ercd-and shockingly mutilated. How many
were Killed Is not yet known. The accident oc-
CURED through the bad action of the breaks. The
cars were permitted to run down the descent
as usual by themselves, checked only by the at
tendant of each. The attendants used all their
'orcc to stop the speed of the train, but without
success, as the awful result shows. The damages
done to the cars is said to be twenty thousand
dollars"

TWENTY.SEyENTH CONGRESS...EyTRA SESSION

Tuesday, June lin Senate-Mr Clay gave
notice that he would on tomorrow, move for a
select committee on so much of the President,
Message as relates to the currency and the finan.
ccs with view of suggesting such remedy as
should he deemed advisable. A Senator having
asked Mr.. Clay the nature of the remedy he
proposed, he said he proposed National
Bank
In the Housc-Thc motion of Mr. Adams was
taken up, to strike out the 2lst rule, which
abolition petitions rejects. Mr.. A. spoke at con-
siderable length in favor of his amendment,
but, on motion on Mr.. Wise, the whole subject
was without further debate, for the present, laid
Oh the table.
A resolution was offered by Mr.. Adams and
adopted, to appoint committee of one member
from each state Of the Union, TO join such COM
mlttec as may be appointed on the part of the Sc
nate, to consider and report by what token of re-
spcct it may he proper for Congress to express
the deep scnsIbity of the nation on the dcceasc
of their late President, VIM Henry Harrison.

Information in regard to the amount of public mo-
ney received, disburscd, in the hands of discussing

Housc-Nlr. Cooper of Pennsylvania announ.
ccd the death of the Hon. Charles Oglc, and of. |

House adjourned.
June 3.-Scnate--Thc President announced
the standing committees, on all of which he was
particularly careful to give the wings majoritcs.
MIR. Clay offered a resolution directing the COM
mlt,ec on finance to bring in bill to repeal the
Independent Treasury law lie observed tina,
the object of the resolution was speedy repeal of
the Sub Treasury system. twas not his purpose
to discuss the resolution: indeed, no hoped and
presumed that no discussion would be deemed
necessary IN any quarter, but that the finance

bill lie said he had come to this session with the
Intention to expedite, as far as he was concerned,

upon the pathway, and he was to inform
US that his object i'll thus acting was to
make room for new and more splendid
bullding--and this while the timber of
which it was TO he constructed was still
in the forest, and the brick in the bank of
clay, and the money 10 be raised by hon
est industry or successful speculation, we
would not think him prudent man.
But if he were to inform us that the iami-
~ were divided on the question of erect
ing the new house, and that the only way
of convincing them of lis necessity was
by pulling down the old one, we might
change our opinion. But i'll the present
instance there was no necessity of rcmov-
ing the old building, as it was not intend
ed to erect it upon the same foundation.
The old one had It's foundations based
deep and strong on the solid rock Of the
constitution; the new one is TO be erected
on the marshy ground of doubtful con-
struclion. Then why not let the old
building stand humble though ii be: even
as the hardy husbandman, when fortune
has smiled upon his efforts, preserves the
log-cabn rs n mcmcnto of his honest toll,
which had enabled him to raise The splend-
id palace by its side.
He then reviewed at considerable length
the merits of the Sub-Trcasury and its
antagonist measure "a National Bank,
and commended that for the continuation
of the latter the existence of a national
debt was absolutely necessary. That It's
inevitable tendency was TO produce ex-
cessive taxation, excite speculation, and
corrupt the press and the ballot box; and
that its only regulation Of the currency
would be to regulate it in such manner
as to realize the largest amount from its
fluctuations.
Mr.. TALLMApcE briefly replied to his
colleague. - lie would sooner take any
thing or nothing in the place of the Sub
Treasury. He would sooner the affairs
of the nation would be thrown into chaos
than continue the existence Of the Sub
Treasury.
Mr.. BENTON traced the operations of
the Treasury Department from its cstab-
lishment 10 the present, and contended
that the Sub-1'reasury was the system
contemplated by the trainers of the Con-
stitution. He also predicted, should it be
now repealed, that it would be triumph
antly rc-enacted i'll a very few years.
After several Intellectual attempts to
adjourn, the question was taken on the
passage of the bill, at 7 o'clock, and it
was passed-ayes 20, nays ls.

The Riypr--.sycather.

The Illinois river is at this time lower than it
has been for the past two seasons. The steamer
La Sale, which heretofore made regular trips
perform the last trip within the stipulated time.
1t is with much difficulty, We are informed, that
boats cross the Beardstown bar. The weather is
sadly out of joint. Within the last ten days we
have witnessed almost every variety. On the one
side we have been severely afflicted by "the
scorching tyranny of his solar highness, whilst
at this time the fiery day-god appears to be con-
qucred, and is cnshroudcd in damp and chilly
vapor, almost requiring artificial means to keep
our biped mortality in motion.
