The WHEAT CRop.-The Greensboro
Beacon gives a gioomJ account OF the
prospect of wheat in its section of Ala
bama. In addition, it remarks, to the
destruction by the frosts of last week of
all cotton up, and most of the early corn,
we regret to leana that the wheat was
also measureably destroyed. In the
black lands, we understand that the crop
was entirely destroyed. This is quite a a
heavy loss, as the wheat crop in this sec
ton was not only larger this spring than
usual, but remarkably promising. We
have heard of one crop-and we pr,
sumo that there were many others quite
as as good-,that promised yield of 25 to
35 bushels to the acre.

ded than at this time to thwart all at-
tempts at unconstitutional legislation, and
to successfullyresist aggression. Prudent
and a'otitic, indeed, would it be for the
cause of Free Soil and Abolition, if it
were possible that the Administration
could induce Mr.. Calhoun to accept this
mission. Prudent and polite would this
s7tSe de gueTre be to render powerless and
unavailable this strong tower of defence
in this our utmost hour of need. Pyu-
dent and polite, to bind with the silken
cords of diplomacy, at the Court Of st.
James, that giant intellect and master
spirit of Democracy and Free Trade /!
Prudent and polite, to remove from the
theatre of action the unAinching champi-
on of constitutional rights, when that sa
cred instrument is assailed by the Free
Soil legions, and an attempt to under
mine its strongest pillars about to be
made by the Wing party. Yes, it aould
be master-stroke Of political diplomacy
to accomplish these things. But howev-
er favorably such suggestion might be
received by Northern politicians or dis
contented eliques, we opinc that the
Court of ST. James, and all the other
courts of Europe tackled on to it, would
at this time, be but poor temptation to
seduce Mr.. Calhoun from the nobler paths
of duty and patriotism.
