HOW THE SOLDIERS FEEL ABOUT
IT.-The last accounts from Monterey brought
US The news that the speech OF the Hon. Mi.
Corwn so exasperaed the soldiers that they had
burned him in effgy-and that The officers did
not interfere TO prevent it. In fact, Wings and
Democrats in the army, have bur one feeling in
regard TO the outrageous conduct Of The Wing
party in this matler-and Gen. Taylor himself,
though he says but little, "boiled over" when he
read Corwin's speech. The Hartford Times
gives an extract from letter OF one OF the vol
unteers in Tayor's camp, 10 gentleman in that
city, as follows

THE CROPS.

The ,rheat on lower James river, though for
time kept back by The drought, has greatly I'M

encouraged TO hope for fair crop. II is now
nearly ripe, and has but one danger TO encounter
The rust. Should The present highly PTopi-
,ious weather continue few days, and The
wheat escape The rust, there will be lar
average yield. The farmers generally OF The
lower country exhibit symptoms OF entire salts

crop. On one OF the largest estates on lower

harvesting tomorrow. We yesterday saw some
