The CRoPs.-If the croakers have not ceased
their croaking about the crops, it is full time
that they do; for Notwithstanding all their wise
predictions, and the partial blight which they so
continually harped upon since the commence
ment of spring, the result is, that throughout the
country, the harvest now in course of being
gathered, will more than average an ordinary
Weld, while the seed sown is at least one-third
more than in any former year. Allowing even
that the potato crop in Ireland and England will
be complete failure, which is allowing much
more than the accounts from those countries will
warrant, the excess of Indian corn alone in
the United States, will be five times as much
as would be required to make up the deficiency,
throwing overheard the wheat crop--the whole
of which has nearly been gathered. What will
the spectators say to this ! But what is OF
more importance, what will European countries
think of our agricultural resources
This is the first time that our agrlculturlsts
have been stimulated to any extent, and the crop
of this year will be an index of what they could
do in emergencies. 1t would seem, indeed, that
our destiny is not only to elevate the masses OF
Europe to the standard Of freemen, but that we
are to feed them while we are SO doing. What
