ULTRA PoLirENEss.-It is remarked by some
writer, that "excess Of ceremony shows want OF
good breeding" This is true. There is nothing
so troublesome as overdone polileness; it is worse
than overdone beef steak. A truly we'll bred
man makes every person round him feel at ease;
he does not throw civilities about him with
shovel, nor toss compliments in bundle, as he
would hay with pitchlork. There is no evil
under the sun more intolerable than ultra pc.
Likeness.

THE CRoPs.-The crops OF corn in this re-.
gon are very promising at the present time,
though owing to the GOODNESS of the spring are
not SO forward as in former seasons. The wheat
crop, so far as our information extends, will
fall considerably short Of an average crop. The
prospect for oats is said to be very fine.

in the fields of Mexico, the beautiful lines
by Collins upon the brave, familiar as
they may be to the generality of readers
will yet be read with unfailing interest:
"Iiow sleep the brave who sink 10 rest.
By all their country's wishes blesl!
When Spring with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to deck their hallowed mould.
She there shall dress sweeler Sod
Than Fancy's feet have ever trod.
"By fairy hands their knell is rung,
BY forms unseen their dirge is sung.
There honor comes, pilgrim gray,
10 bless the turf that wraps their clay,
And Freedom shall while repair,
To dwell, a weeping hermit there"

Gen. Taylor's Response to the Ohio Res
olutions.-The State Journal publishes the
following letter of Gen. TAYLOR, in re-
Spouse to the resolutions adopted by the
Ohio Legislature, complimentary of bis
own, and the services of Gen. ScoTT:
HEADQUARTERS, ARMY OF OCCUPATION,
Camp near Monterey, Mexico April Is, 1847.
Sic: The resolutions OF the General Assembly
OF the State Of Ohio, relative to Geu. Scott and
myself, together with your letter transmitting the
same, have been duly received.
To resolutions so kindly and fatteringly ad
dressed, | am on my part most gratefully sensi.
bic; and the people Of the great State Of Ohio
may rest assured. that SO far as my will and
ability will permit, the good Of the country shall
be fully and honorably upheld and sustained
as long as such high duty rests in any manner
in my hands.
| have the honor 10 remain, sir,
z. TAYLOR, Maj. Gen. U. S. A.
WV, BEBB, Esq, Columbus, Ohio.
The Administrators Neglect of Gen
Taylor--The Louisville Journal says: Il
was recently stated by some Of the news
papers, on the authority of letters from
Mexico, that, for several months, the AID
ministration had treated Gen. Taylor with
entire neglect, not even replying to any
Of his communications to the War De
partment. The editor of the Washington
Union put forth what he intended his read
ers to understand as denial of this state
menf. We now assert, what we kno,O tt
be true, that, on the I'd of April last, Gen
Taylor had not, for fire months, received
communication from the Government
upon any subject whatever, with the single
exception of communication from the
Secretary of War scolding him for his let.

GRAIN-The New York Herald of the
10th instant, says:

10th instant, says:
"The aggregate expectation OF breadstuffs from
the United States, from the LIST Of September,
1876, TO the 1st OF May, 1847, was equal to
thirty two millions OF bushels of wheat and corn,
Of which more than one half was wheat. This
is nearly double the quantity exported in the
year ending June 30, 1916, and the proceeds of
The shipments for the eight months ending May
LIST, 1917, were about 9uadruple those for the
shipments for the year ending June 80, 1916.
The receipts Of produce from the interior since
the 1st Of May last, have been immense, which,
with the previous receipts, have been entirely
from the last crop, and the supply still remaining
in the hands OF the producers appears to be
inexhaustibe. Our most extravagant anticipa.
tons relative TO the surplus products Of the
Union, have been more than realized, and we
have abandoned all calculations, and all esti
mates, feeling satisfied that we have an over
abundance to meet any demand at home or from
abroad, until the next harvest. After that time,
all fears or misgvings will disappear, and prices
Of breadsuffs and provisions Of every descrip.
ton, will. in all human probability, be as low
as has been known for years. In the event OF
the crops Of Europe being an average, the de.
mand for our breadsuffs will be much reduced
and prices experience corresponding reduction.
As the season advances, beef pork, butter,
cheese, in fact, everything, will come down, and,
in few weeks, we shall have very little com.
plant about the high price OF food
