and since his appointment, none other has been
named for the post Of Senator. Judge Napton is
named by the anti-Benton party, and, should that
party succeed, would in all probability be the
choice. The friends Of Colonel Benton think that
he alone should be returned.
The fight wages fercely, but a few days more

which party ia the successful one Should the
wing party gain the field, it will be because of the

THE CRors N THE UNITED STATES The harvest
throughout the country is now finished, aud we
satisfied the amount of wheat produced is greater
than ever before. In the Western States, where
corn has heretofore been the principal crop, inn
mensc amount of wheat has been grown this year.
In Missouri alone, the surplus is estimated at five
hundred thousand bushels, and this is Que of the
smallest wheat growing States The corn crophas
suffered somewhat inalmost every direction, in con-
sequence Of drought, but that occurred before the
grain began TO form, and should the month Of
August prove favorable, a greater amount Of corn
will be raised than ever before known All the
creps suffered considerably which fell in.the course
of The late gale which swept from Cape Fear to
the Northern Lakes, but that is, comparatively,
small portion Of the great territory devoted agri
culture.
The cotton and sugar crops suffered greatly in
consequence of the late spring, and the many over
flows 10 (which il has been subjected, Indeed,
from all we can gather, it is probable that both
these crops will fall far below the average, and il
is possible they may be even below those OF last
year In Texas alone have those crops escaped
the disaster 10 which in the other Southern States
they have been subjected. A large portion Of the
most productive lands in that State have this year
been devoted To the production of sugar cane, and
il is probable that Texas will be one of the princ
pal States in the production of sugar.
