June 5, says: f-
The Spanish Minister will soon present,
under proper instructions, a demand upon
our Government for indemnity, on account
Of the late piratical invasion Of Cuba, by

demnity will be very large. The Isabel,

Spanish Minister. She will arrive on the
9th. The demand for indemnity will be
soon after urged, and accompanied by docu-
mentary evidence Of the ravnges commit

The crops.

The crops last year being short, anxiety is
manifested in community for the resultof
this years gathering, as upon an abundant
harvest depends in great measure the pros
perity Of our country. There is very little
surplus -four now in the country, and prices
are now about the same in the east as in the
west, and any failure in the wheat crops
would be severely felt.
Until recently very favorable accounts.
have been given Of the prospects Of the crops
of wheat, from all partsof the country. We
learn now, however, that the drought has
injured it to some extent, in portions of this
State and Indiana, and on the sandy, dry
lands of Michigan, it is probably ruined.
In other portions Of the country the crops
look well, and harvest will only be put back
little later by the backward spring.
As yet there is nothing to cause alarm in
regard to an abundant harvest,
We had quite generous rain on Saturday,
which we hope has revived the crops, and
the vegetable kingdom generally.
Very gloomy accounts Of the tobacco crop
reaches us from S. Carolina, Virginia and
Kentucky, owing to the dry weather.
In Lawrence county complaints have been
made of cheat appearing to great extent
among the wheat, though we hear of such
complaints from no other quarter.

COLUMBUS, June l3.

This morning was The first for at least
two weeks that the convention was not
visited with flood of petitions. None
came today.
After the reading of the journal this
morning, about nn hour was spent in a
very Improbable and foolish discussion.
One of the standing rules requires on
call Of the convention, (Which is sometimes
necessary to be had in order to ascertain
how many members are presently the alb
sentees shall be noted on the journal. A
call was had at the commencement of the
afternoon session on Yesterday, and great
many members being found absent, their
names went upon the journal, and on learn
ing that fact this morning, the tender feel
ings Of some members were most terribly
stirred up. 1t was the first application Of
the rule, and it did not operate satisfactory
by any means. Hence, several attempts
we're made to change the rule, which fail
ed; then came attempt after attempt to
have the names expunged from the journal,
which also failed. The jest of the matter
was, that the very members who manufac-
tured and advocated the adoption of The
rule were the ones who got caught by it.
The President laid before the convention
a communication from the Mayor Of the
town of Mt. Vernon, endorsing the pro-
ceedings of meeting of their town council,
inviting the convention TO adjourn its sit
tings to that place in case removal from
Columbus shall be determined upon.
The committee of the whole then resumed
The consideration of the Sd section of the re-
port of the committee on corporations, and
spent the whole day in discussing the indi-
vidual liability principle as applicable to
corporators, the same question which has
been under consideration ever since Monday
morning last. Most of the discussion was
instructive and interesting, which presume
you will. acknowledge when you read the
debates.
Just before the adjournment this evening,
vote was taken on an amendment offered
by Mr.. Ranny, to make corporators individ
ually liable for twice the amount of stock
subscribed, which was carried by a vote of
43 to 80.
A vote was then taken on the amendment
of Mr. Reemelin, TO apply the individual IL
ability 10 its fullest eKtent-to make every
stockholder individually responsible for all
OF the debts of their respective corporations
and the same was lost by vote of 36
yeas to 40 nays, Yours, ZED.

deuce in Butler county en- Saturday last, J.
in iheS S7ih wear Of his age.
Judge Vance paid beantifm. tribute to
the memory Of the deceased 10 a eulogy on
his many excellent qualities and virtues,
both as puhlic servant and private citi-
zen, after which be offered few resolutions
expressive of the deep sensibility with
which the members of the convention had
heard of the death of one of the old pio-.
neers and fathers Of the State, which were
unanimously adopted; and as a further token
Of respect for the memory of the deceased,
The convention adjourned ;ill tomorrow.

COLUMBUS, June IL.

Three petitions were presented in the
convention this morning, one praying that
the new constitution may embrace a clause
forever prohibiting the issuing or circulation
OF any paper money in this State; one in
favor Of capital punishment, or rather that
no provision may be made in the constitu-
tion on that subject; and one asking that
married women may have exclusive cohtrol
of their separate property. and that the prop
erty OF women shall no! be taxed unless they
are allowed to vote.
The balance of the day was spent in
Committee of the Whole, discussing the Sd
section Of the report Of the committee on
Corporations, the same question which |
informed you was under discussion on
Monday last still being tho topic. A great
many speeches were made on both sides Of
the question. and some very able cnes.
The speakers in favor of the individual la
biity principle to its fullest extent were
Messrs. HumphryyilIe. Reemelin. Kirk
wood and Ranney. and these in favor OF
the principle to limited extcnt-only TO
the amount of stock subscribed--were
Messrs. Archbold, Dorsey, Judge Swan
and others. s.
The report Of that committee is short
one, but | should not be surprised if the
whole Of this week should be spent discus
sing it. We may get n vote on the indl-
vidual liability question tomorrow.
At noon today, the President laid be-
fore the convention a communication from
the Mayor of GAINESVILLE, enclosing the
proceedings of n meeting oftheir city coun-
Gil, inviting the members of the convention
to adjourn its sitliugs from Columbus to
that place,

Governor Washington, ofthe New Mex.
leo, arrived on Saturday night, bringing
important news from Santa Fe. llearn
that not long before he left, public meet
ing was held to consider The boundary ques-
ton and the claims of Texas, when hot
dispute arose between a number of citi-
zens and Texans. The meeting resulted
in fearful riot, which was about to end
in general fight, when the officer COM
manding the garrison ordered the troops
to interfere and prevent bloodshed, which
was done, though not without difficulty. A
great excitement prevails in the city, the
people of which declare that they will op-
pose to the utmost the attempt to force up
on them The authority and laws of Texas:
The riot which has now taken place is
