MARYLAND TOBACCO CRoP.--Fne rains which
have prevailed in Prince Georges county have
somewhat revived the hopes Of the tobacco grow
ers, though it is yet thought not more than half
crop can be secured. The Marlboro Gazette says:
Gin this neighborhood the rain was fully suffi-
cient to enable planters who had tobacco plants to
set them out. The number of those who were so
fortunate as to have them comparatively
few--and we reiterate the opinion that under the
most favorable growing weather, we do not anti
cipatc that more than half the usual quantity of
this article can be brought to tho house. We
learn that the copious rains of Monday and yes
terday morning did not extend more than five or
six miles below this village, in the direction of
Nottingham, and that in all or most of that fertile
region there has been but small quantity of to-
hncco planted ..H

A FKANKLIN MoNuMENT.---We don II carewhere
the movement originates, but we should like to
see plain and unpretendng monument, built by
the contributions Of printers alone, reared to the
memory of Benjamin Franklin. We wish it might
be done, and the printers Of the Republican office,
every one of whom s'earns his bread by the sweat
Of his brow, will back up these wishes with a
contribution of twenty-five dollars.
Springfield Republican.
Franklin was printer, author, statesman, philo-
sopher, and patriot, and the spot of earth where
his ashes rest should be adorned by the united
contributions of his countrymen. ga plain and
unpretending monument should mark the spot
where he reposes; but it should be beautiful in its
simplicity, and an extended green expanse should
form the background of the scene. A single dol
lar from each of his llow-craftsmen would be a
sufficient contribution from them. Let them but
begin the work. The printers of Philadelphia
should ut once secure the privilege Of purchasing
the grounds for the purpose.

TIN HUsaIANs HAVE ENTERED JAssY," say
the Last advicos from Europe. Wcll, where and
what il Jsssy
Take up the map of Europe, and snugly en-
sconsed among range of mountains, little to
the westward of the river Pruth, in the northern
most province of Turkey, the city inquestion may
be found Jassy is the capital Of the Turkish
province of Moldavia. II contains from 80, 900 to
10000 inhabitants, but is not place Of much
trade. N4fE
The inhabitants of this city were never very in
timatoly connected with the Turkish empire, and
owing the Sultan merely nominal subsection, it
is probable they would be little disposed to oppose
the Russians. Indeed, us the Gar has made the
protection Of the Greek Church tho ostensible
cause of the dominions Of the Porte, the inhabi-
tants of both Moldava and Wallachia, all dsci-
pies ofthat particular faith, may be ready to join
rather than oppose him.
These two provinces, Moldavia and Wallachia,
are all that nemain to- Turkey of its conquests
north of the Danube. Bessarabia, between the
Pruth aud the Black Sea-, north of the Danube,
was ceded to Russia some time ago. Moldavia
lies between Pennsylvania and the Pruth and is
bounded south by Wallachia, and touches the
Danube only between the mouths Of the Sereth
and Pruth. 1t contains about half million of
inhabitants on about l5,OOO square miles. Walla-
CHA lies south of Moldava and southeast Of Tran
sylvania, in the great bend of the Danube 1t
contains &c, 900 square miles and nearly million
Of inhabitants. Modavia is situated on the south
ern or upper verge of this extended plain. Both
these provinces raise immense amount of wheat.
The inhabitants give no attention to manufac-
lures, but receive their necessary articles in
change for their wheat, which is carried down the
Danube to the Black Sea, and thence scattered
over the west of EurODe To Enpland the trade
of these provinces is very valuable. The cloths
of Manchester, the hardware of Birmingham, and
the cutlery of Sheffield are found in all the cot
tages of Moldavia and Wallachia, while more of
their wheat reaches England than comes from
America .-.Nsac York Express, 21st

THE QUESTION OF WAR IN THE EAsT.-Th
Boston Courier of the Dist instant saws:

ssWar has already begun in thasEast. The Rus
sian armies have invaded the Danuban provinces
of Turkey, and the Gar has put forth justifca-
ton of this movement in an arrogant and insult
ing manifesto. We say the war has begun, al
though some of the European journalists and
American letter-writers continue to talk of q
peaceable settlement Of the matter. There
may be a peace at the end of the war, but there
is no peace now. When nation nvades the ter
rtory, of neighbor without it's consent, that is
war; no clearer explanation can be given of the
meaning of the word; and war is none the less
war because some men sit in their chimney cor
ners and call it by different name. The ques-
ton therefore now is, net whether there will be
war between Russia and Turkey, but when and
how it will end. The Gar may continue the
march of his armies as far as Constantinople, and
say he means no war by it. There would be no
more inconsistency in this than in what he is now
doing"

ILLNESS OF j. P. WETHERILL.-At the hour

that Mr.. John Price Wetherill who for several

cannot survive till morning. Should these mel
ancholy anticipations be realized--we earnestly
hope they may not be--Philadelphia will have to
mourn one Of her most valuable citizens; man
who has mixed largely for the last quarter of a
century in public affairs, to which he has given
the most Jealous and disinterested attention; and
who has, in all things been eminently liberal and
charitable. The loss of Mr.. Wetherill would be
severely felt both by the community of which he
has SO long been distinguished member, and tina,
large circle of friends to whom he is endeared by
his private worth and social excellencies.
