Hon. LOUIS McLANE. The Union an
nounces that our minister in London is prepa-
ring to return home, and may be expected to
embark for the United States, as soon as the
necessary arrangements have been made for his
successor. cit is fortunate for our country"
(says the Union ''that she has been repIesen-
ted at so important and embarrassing period,
during the Oregon negotiation, by so accom-
plished diplomatst as Mr.. McLane. Init
matGy acquainted as he was with the whole
understanding as he did on the most cour-
teous and friendly relations with Lord Aberdeen
devoted to his country and to her rights and
interests-anxious to preserve her honor, as
we'll as the peace of two great countries, he has
devoted himself with zeal, fidelity, spirit
firm while it was conciliatory, to the dust
ment of question which was full of peril, of
difficulty, and of embarrassment. The admin
istration are deeply sensible of the services
which he has rendered. They who have seen
all his correspondence, have seen and have felt
how happily his powerful mind has risen to the
level of the occasion. And when all his cor
respoudencc has been laid before his country,
we do not hesitate to say they will rc.echo the
sentiments of the government.
Not only the determination, but the whole
country, has reason to be satisfied with the man
ncr in which Mr.. McLane has discharged the
duties of his mission to England; for to him has
been attributed, in great measure, the settle
ment of the Oregon question, and the eXtrca-
ton of the country from the critical position in
which folly had placed it. But we believe that
vailing, had the suggestion of the Union been
adopted, and the naked notice been given to
England. 1t was the wisdom Of the Senate
that strengthened the hands of our minister in
England, and saved the country from desc
lating war The conciliatory terms of the no.
tice took from it the offensive aspect in which
it originally passed the house, and opened the
door for renewed negotiation. The opportuni-
ty thus afforded was no doubt seized and i'm
proved by Mr.. McLane and the result has been
the preservation of peace. We rejoice that
moderate councils prevailed in the Senate, and
that the r-spirits of that body were rebukcd
and put down.
Mr.. McLane is held in high esteem by the
statesmen of England as well as of his own
country, and has shown, that he merits the con-
fdence which has been reposed in him. He is
about to return home, and will probably resume
his station as President Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company: but we shall not be
surprised ifhis services be required in higher
station, as honest men and real patriots should
be called to the service of their country.

Crops IN PENNSYLVANIA. The editor Of the
Washington, Pa. Reporter, who has been on a
tour through large portion of the State, re.
marks, that more abundant harvest has moi
rewarded the toll of the husbandman in many
years. The general opinion is, that the yielc
of fall grain is three-fold that of past seasons,
and the grain in all cases, we'll filled and per-
feet. The grass crop is Of almost unexamped
productiveness. We found many of the farmers
moving their pasture grounds-a thing very
unusual. Corn-6elds never gave greater pro-
mise Of fuitfulness; and this observation holds
equally good in respect to upland and lowand
So, also, of oats, which will yield an extraor-
binary crop.

SANTA ANA. If the report which comes by
the way of New Orleans, be true, that Generals
Santa Ana and Almonte have left Havana for
Vera Cruz in British brig of war, we may
soon expect to hear important news from Next
co; for Santa Ana will, in all probability, be re-
event would facilitate peace between the Uni
ted States and Mexico; that is, if our govern
ment be disposed to negotiate. But that is
doubtful, unless Mexico will consent to yield up
aPortion other territory. 1t may be that San
ia Ana has had an understanding with our 60
vernment, and that his present movement is at
the instigation of the latter. We do not doubt
that, if necessary to enable him to obtain the
control of affairs in Mexico, he would be will
ing to make sacrifice of territory.

news which has so startled the underwriters
