THE SECOND REQuIsLTION.

From the most authentic accounts we have re-
ceived, it appears that The second requsitlon on
Ohio was filled on Monday last. The regiment,
it is understood, will be composed Of five com.
panies from Cincinnati, two from Columbus, one
from Dayton, one from Mansfield, and one from
Nlillersburg. The company of cavalry IS from
Newark. These companies have been organi-
zed. accepted by the Governor, and are now ell
ther at Camp Washington, or en- route for that
place; so that our chance Of seeing ''the ele'
phant" has "vanished into thin air." In hopes
that we will meet with "better luck next time
we resign ourselves to our fate, and with our a
miable neighbOr will continue to cater for the ap
pettes of the public, not forgetting to keep
watchful eye upon the Administration, as thu
symptoms of its approaching dissolution are fas
gathering upon it.

CROPS.-An observing citizen of Columbus,
who has recently returned from pretty exten'
sive iourneyng among the counties between the
Scioto and Miami, authorlseS US to say that the
wheat crops look fine, and promise iuIl average
Weld, with an ordinary season from now until
harvest. From some regions we hear croaklngS
about prospective failure of crops. Isolated
cases of the kind no doubt exist; 1t were strange
if they did not. But as a whole, there can be no
cause 10 apprehend that Ohio will not have abua-
dant for her own use, and something to spare
"for the relief Of Ireland" next year-should
her necessities again require.
nrWe clip the foregoing paragraph from the
Ohio State Journal Of the goth inst. The state
mentit contains may be, and we hope is true, SO lar
as relates TO the Miami and Scoto vallies, re,
qion, be it remembered, where wheat is seconda'
rv crop, but it is very far from being true in re-
gard to the great wheat growing section oil .ne
State. The wheat crop in this region oil Oho
suffered very severely from the effects of stree
zinp out'' during wet and open winter. In adj
dition to this, cold, dry spring has kept wha
remained in the ground, in weak, sIunled' and
perishing condition. In many places the fly has
made its appearance, and is fast completing the
work of destruction. From the blighting etiec
of these several causes, we are satisfied that un
less we have highly favorable season from nov
until harvest there will not be onet fourth the guam
tity of wheat harvested in Carroll county thi
season that there was the past; and the accounts
we receive from the adjacent counties are no
more favorable. We have no apprehension Q
scarcity of provisions during The coming yeal
but, at the expense of being considered croak''
we are clearly convinced that the farmer will nc
receive any thing like an adequate compensate
for his labor.

VOLUNTEERING wITH A VENGEANCE


The editor Of the Picayune, after weeks
calm, sober, and eoasideraie reflection, meets our
proposition" with the following come off,
"Ir he had made the necessary inquiry he
would have found our name already enrolled as
volunteer for Mexico, and that too, without that
vain oslenlatious parade certain Office seeking

among the list Of volunteers may be seen the
name Of the editor Of the Picayune-haging

Now, we hope that the editor will excuse our
want Of confidence in his Usracity in thus mod
esily announcing that he had volunteered "to go"
to Mexico, and pardon US for making some fur
ther inquiry in reference to the matter. lmme-
dately after receiving the annunciation that he
had already enlisting, we wrote to a friend in
Canton to 60 and examine the volunteer roll OF
Col. Gotsha, ascertain the facts, and write to US
accordingly. In answer to our letter we receiv-

AMERICAN LIBERALITY.

Thousands upon thousands Of dollars worth OF
breadstulTs have been voluntarily contributed by
the people of the United States, and forwarded to
the famishng millions in Ireland. 1t is esma-
ted that the lives Of one million OF people have
been saved by this timely assistance. 1t is fur
ther estimated that out of the eight millions OF
inhabitants in Ireland, two millions have perish
ed from the effects of the famine. All the ma
tions Of Europe stood calmly and silently behol-
ding the horrible spectacle of onetourth oil the
population of kingdom deing from starvation
without making an effort to relieve them. Even
England, who ought to have been the hfst &c
