We have been permitted to look over several

even half a crop had become rather faint. In

of consequence had fallen since the middle of
May; and, as a consequence, every vegetable
production had been withered up In Pittsyl-
vania county, Va, many planters were giving
up all hope of raising any crop of consequence !;
they had succeeded in saving about plants
enough to produce about half crop, but the
season for planting having passed, the plants
had run to seed and were consequently unfit to
set out, even should favorable weather come.
In every district in Kentucky the prospects,
in the last week in June, were gloomy in the
extreme, and planters seeing the period APP

should be done, if done at all, were in many in

THE FISHERIES. The gossiping editor Of the
Washington Republic, in that paper of the 10th
inst, holds the following language in reference
to the unsettled question Of the Fisheries We
quote from the Republic:
Commodore Shubrick had not received his
instructions to-day up to late hour, which
would see to indicate that he rU not receive
them until after the Presidents return from the
North, 1t may be safe policy thus to delay the
dispatch of armed force to the fishing grounds.
to protect or restrain our fishermen; but it will
trouble the Administration a little to satisfy
New England of the fact. Perhaps the Presi-
dent is satisfied that the Cape Codders have no
long TOMS or other armament on board or that
il they have they will not use them, and thus
incur the penalty of violating the laws of the
United States. He will do well to remember that
the Yankee Nation has little hesitation in as
Stunning large responsibilities when satisfied of
the justice Of its cause; and that the fishermen
can calculate safely on running the gauntlet Of
all the courts and .juries in Christendom, fpub-
lie opinion sustain their acts That they will
be sustained in whatever seems necessary to
secure the protection which " Uncle Sam" de-
nies or fails to afford them, there can be little
doubt Admiral Seymour and Mr.. Champion
may talk of Cancellation all night, and the Union
may assert all day the certainty of peaceful
solution of the fishery question; but if the reso-
Lutte, devil -may-care freemen, who believe they
have fishing rights which are invaded, are not
shown some probability of immediate protection,
the whole business will be complicated by some
sudden speaking of braZen threats, in such man
ner as TO greatly hazard the peace of the coun-
try. Fishermen are practical men. They don't
understand the kinks of diplomacy and will not
take stones for bread

ANOTHER SLAVE CASE IN CINcNNATr-Sev
weeks since we published statement that a
couple OF slaves were mauumitted by Mr. Or
Vile Thomas, Of Louisiana Recent occurrences
induce US to state again the following facts
Mr. Thomas was on his way to the East, and
when he arrived here he was told that he would
lose his slaves. He then resolved that he would
anticipate their designs, if they had any idea OF
leaving him, and, ON the morning he left, he
called them before him, and told them they
were free, and that he would have their pspers
made out on his return They were taken hy
surprise, and did not seem to express any great
degree Of Joy upon the announcement in which
they were 50 much interested being made to
them. gu Tuesday morning Mr.. Thomas re
turned, aud, as he was about entering the Bur-
net House, he was met by his boys, who re-
quested the privilege to be taken back again.
They protested that they would prefer rcturn-
ing with their master to louisiana than to re-
main IN Cincinnati and have their freedom We
afterwards learned that the result was lust
what MIR. Thomas expected, for he did not tie
leye they could take care of themselves lie
received them. and Wednesday morning the
party left on the rishamingo for Louisville, en-

The New York Sunday Courier says ." There
have been rumors in the papers lately that our
old friend, the Cheyalier Wikof. is actually 60
ing to be married to Miss Gamble, the young
lady at whose suit he was sent to prison, in
Genoa, for the term Of two years We are hap

Mr.. Wikoif has written 10 a friend in this city
that his marriage with Miss Gamble will soon
be consummated, and that they are now on the
best terms possible Doubtless the lady thinks
if his love can stand such an ordeal as it has
been tested by, it is too deep seated and sincere
to be sighted We wish the young couple all
the happiness the welded state can give to its
yotaries.'

The PRESIDENTS JOURNEY NORTH - Gun
Baltimore exchanges come to us laden with yo
luminous accounts of the Presidents reception
in that city The President, accompanied by
Secretaries Davis, Guthrie and Campbell ar.
rived on the morning of Monday the 18th, in the
o'clock cars, and were met at the depot by an
immense concourse of people. The Sun COM
putes the number present at full 100000. The
military were out in full numbers, and escorted
the President and suite to Barnum's City Hotel.
Arriving at Barnum's, the President assembled a
beautifully decorated stand prepared for the
occasion, and having been formally introduced
by Mayor Hollins, he addressed the people
briefly, in which he took occasion to thank them
for the hospitable manner in which they had re-
ceived him, and paid merited compliment 10
the beauty and prosperity of their city.
The members of the Cabinet responded elo-
quently but briefly to calls made upon them
The President refused to receive the immense
crowds that waited upon him, otherwise than in
public manner.
Baltimore's distinguished visitors were to
have left early on the morning of the 18th for
their destination, New York and the Crystal

CITY AID TO THE HOWARD ASSOCIATION -
The Board of Assistant Aldermen, at its last sit
ting, passed a resolution allowing the Howard
Association to expend $1,000 for the purchase Of
medicines to be used for the benefit of the dest-
tute sick during the ensuing summer, should the
state of the public health require it. The
Howard Association" is benevolent body,
organized for humane purposes. Its services
to the INDECENT sick are gratuitously rendered
are productive of much good and the Assistant
Board has done well in extending 1T the prof
fered aid. We do not think the sum too large,
considering the contingency of the amount Of
sickness that may occur among our floating pop
ulation. The resolution referred to will come
up for concurrence tonight in the Upper Board
of Aldermen, and in venturing a hope that they
will not attempt to reduce the amount allowed,
($1000,) we but express the wishes of majority
Of our citizens. Much good may be the result
Of liberal appropriation. while on the contrary
a limited advance may be productive of an in
fnity of suffering. Let the Board of Aldermen
second the efforts of the Assistant Board in that
spirit of liberality so characteristic of our city.
