Indiana, May Isl, says:
Il have recently travelled through the
Counties of Knsciusko, Elkhart, Marshall,
ST. Joseph and LapoTie, ia this State, and
Lave the qualification TO say that we have
never had better prospect Of an abundant
wheat crop than we now have. Last yeaI
our wheat was early destroyed by the fly;

NIL other evils"

Oregon have fallen down and settled in !
Nrrih California, and that they have found !
IL mos, delightful climate and Iich soil. |

ieer 10 these facts 10 show that il is not at all
unreasonable to suppose that California may

a mered 10 our Union"

NOEXTRA SESSION.
The Washington "Unian" has the follow
ing:
Some Of the newspapers and letter wri-
iIs in Washington, havrauded 10 an extra
's<ion of Congress. lthas been said that
this proposition was discussed ia the cabinet
one day last week, monday, we believe.
As such annunciations are only calculated
10 produce an undue impression on the pub
lie mind: and 10 display degree of excite
nent on the part of the cabinet which does
not exist, we deem it best, at once, 10 con-
irudict the rumor."
