The WHEAT CRoP IN VfRGINIA.-We
have received various accounts OF the
prospects OF the crop. A gentleman from
flaxifax county. who recently passed
through Albemarle, and up the Valley,
reports that the wheat, as far as ne had
an opportunity Of seeing il. was thin in
The most OF that region. On portion Of

the whea, is suffering from the fy-on

sing Rich. Eng.
THE CRoPs The Frederick Herald
says THE papers in various quarters Of
the country speak OF the growing gram
in such a manner as 10 lead to tie belief
that il will yield about nm average amount.
In this country the wheat, we are told,
does not generally look well, the nnsea-
sonsble W, alher--wei and cold-has been
aided 10 no small measure by the rava-
ees the fly, IN impairing the prospect
Of n good crop.
THE CRops. The Elicou's Mills Free
Press OF saturday says
As Far as we are uble to judge, the
Wheat crop in this country will be toll
cradle one. The wheat fields, which
looked badly on account Of the backward
ness OF the Spring, are beginning to as.
sumo fine appearance. We DO not
think the crop will be 81 good as last year
but i, will not be so great failure as
has been anticipated.
The Pittsburg Gazette of Friday AFTER
noon Says
In this vicinity crops are said 20 Look
and promise well, aud unless they are in
iuriously affected by the present cold
wenther, will give an average yield.
The Warrenton Fauquer County,
Virginia. Flag Of the Sd instant has the
following paragraph:
The Crops. The wheat crop in this
county is far from bring good. In this
immediate neighborhood, should the sen.
son be favorable from this out, the
yield will not more than pay the farmer
FOR seeding and reapng il. The corn
crop will probably make an average crop;
some of our ia m rs are still plant ng and
some have TO replant.

Hon. Edmund Burke, Newport, N. H.


Samuel Young, the New York Secreta-

stood that he is in favor Of Mr.. Calhoun,
and is expected To publish his views before
long. The Argus has made several at
tacks upon Young, within the last six
months- which looked rather queer.
Young is perfect political mercenRry
---and if he g'es for Calhoun, il must be
from the belief that hs is the strongest
man, or becanse be has lost favor with
Van, aud must look elsewhere tor reward,
Until the removal Of the Deposites, he
was an outrageous anti-Jackson man.--
That high-handed measure, which con.
verted all true Republicans to anti jack
sonsm, made young most enthusiastic
admirer of IT. Old Hero. Or at least, ii
furnished him pte,ext for affeciing TO ad +.
mre him, aud supplied the means OF get.
ting into fat office--which he retained
until expelled by the Wings. in 1880.
Since the return of the Locos to power,
he has been reelected Secretary OF State.
But that position doas not content eth r
his cupidty or his ambitlon- and the
Gin Of its deficiency be purposes visiting
upon Vans head, by turning traitor and
