The CROPS IN EUROPE The for
eicn news contains one item Of vast
Importance to the American agricultur-
list viz that of the partial failure of the
wheat crops in several countries in
Europe. England alone will need
20 or 80 900, 900 of bushels of wheat
whilst France, Sardinia and portions
of the Austrian Empire will need
large importations of grain to make
Up the deficit in taeir own crops.
Flour already rules high in N. York,
the European demand will in all prob
ability cause an advance in prices cor
responding with that demand.
The production Of wheat in this
country increases largely evry year,
and a large foreign demand during
the coming autumn and winter Will
be likely to stimulate that production
to still greater extent another year /;
the farmer reaping an increased re-
ward in higher prices and a more ready
sale of his grains. We are glad of
this, and hope it will continue SO for
years to come. We American people
have within the last FIVE years, thrown
into the European money markets,
corporation and State bonds and evi-
Iences of debt to the amount of be-
tween three and four hundred millions
Of dollars. The interest and principle
on these bonds must sooner or later
be rail, and we do not egret to see
our surplus -four and grain called for
in Europe because the capacity Of thi-
country to produce those articles is
such that if an eaqual exchange could
be made of them for our bonds, we
could redeem every dollar Of them in
ten years and not feel the drain III
any manner whatever.

citizens who would be glad to take it
in that way and advance their OVID
means to carry it toward if they only

IL epudiatiO N.

Among the new discoveries in the
science Of political economy, recently
made by unprincipled and corrupt po-
liticians, is the infamous and deadly
one Of the reputation of State and
Corporation debts. The upas-like in
fluence which reputation exerts upon
the credit of c0nterminous communi-
ties is baleful in the extreme. What
IS Reputation /? A plain and unvar-
nished explanation Of it, is this: John
Doe, borrows Of Richard Roe, one, two,
or ten thousand dollars, giving bonds
and mortgage for the better security
of the payment Of the money, but
when the said bonds and mortgage
are due, Richard Roe denies the obi
cation, refuses to pay up, and swears
the debt is an unjust one which ought
not and acilZ not be paid by the said
Richard Roe. This is the sum and
substance of reputation, and a fitting
and proper description of it in every
State that has committed the infam-
Gus deed of refusing to pay its just and
honest debts. There are but two
States of this glorious confedaracy that
now rest under the guilt Of reputation,
and those are Mississippi and Michi-
gan. In making these remarks, we
do not wisl 70 be understood as cast
ing reflections upon the people ofthose
States, because we believe the sturdy
yeomanry of either, willingly consent
to a measure which is stain and re-
proach upon their sovereignty as men
and citizens of great and chiva!rou>
nation. We said it was corrupt and
unprincipled politicians, who had
brought about this state Of things, and
we are borne out in this assertion BY
the history of both, the Michigan and
Mississippi loans which are now under
protest and reputation. That the
people Of those States do not wish or
desire the reputation Of their just
debts, is evidenced by the fact that the
High Court of Appeals in Mississippi
has confirmed a decision of the lower
court, in which the business and legal
ity of the debt of that State was pro-
nounced; and the obligation Of the
State to pay her bonds was decided to
be valid and beyond cavil.
1t now remains to be seen whether
her Legislature will have sufficient
moral courage to walk up to their duty
in the premises, and make provisions
for its payment lfpoliticians in that
State would let the question go down
to the people, untrammeld by other
issues, for their decision, We believe
that but one voice and one response
would be heard. That voice would
be PAY our State debt and wipe from
her escutcheon the foul stain of Repu-
diation." We believe, this will yet be
the case in Mississippi, for that people
are noble, whole-souled and chival-
rous people, who would scorn and re-
sent any imputation upon their private
character or honor. Rich in soil a
climate that rivals that of France, pros
porous in all her borders. Mississippi
is peculiarly favored, and the day IS
not very far off when she will rival in
riches and population the older States
of the West and North. All these
considerations induce us to think, she
will not long consent to lie under the
stigma of Repudiation-a consumma-
ton most devoutIy to be wished for,
and one that would lift a great weight

too brief career.
H-During the last session Of Con-
gress, an appropriation Of an hundred
thousand dollars, to expended in re-
moving the raft in Red River, which
has so long been a serious obstruction
to the navigation Of that river.
The money thus appropriated, was
placed under the control Of the war
department, but why it was given to
direction of that officer, we are unable
to say; but as yet no progress has
been made in the removal of the raft,
and from all we can learn the work
will remain in staue quo for some time
to come.
The reason why the work has not
been commenced before this, is the
singular and onerous terms with which,
contractors bidding for the work must
comply, before their bids will be con
sidered by the department at Wash
ington. -r7-
They are required to give bonds in
the sum of $4,000, secured by two
sureties, each of whom must be worth
ten thousand dollars each, with other
requirements of similar character,
and eaqually unreasonable; because
the work is to be paid for, only as it
advances, and in proportion to the
whole work to be done.
This is all wrong, and calculated to
keep the obstruction where it is, rather
than effect its removal, because very
few men will undertake job Of that
character, under the requirements of
the department, and especially to give
bonds to complete the w]toie work
when it is to be paid for only as it pro-
crosses. The Red river is a means
of communication with an impor-
tant section of State and Texas
and forms an outlet for vast and year.
~ increasing commerce. The raft
has for years, been a serious obstacle
and now that an appropriation ofample
means to remove it has been made,
nothing should be thrown in the way
Of its speedy removal. There are
hundreds Of enterprising aud industri-
Gus men, who would readily contract
to remove the raft, men too Of large
means and who would accomplish the
work speedily. and be satisfied to get
their pay as they did the work; but
who would not, and could not get
sureties for ten thousand dollars, mere
y to crafty the whim Of his excellency
Of the war department. Besides the
uselessness of the security required,
we cannot we'll see how the Govern
msnt could loose a dollar by letting
ont the work, as other works Of SIM
liar character are let out, viz: to the

SPREAD OF THE FEvER.-We have
conversed with good many upon the
subject, and all agreein the fact, that
never since the yellow fever has been
known as an epidemic in the South,
has it spread so rapidly and SO widely
over the country, as it has this season.
Quarantines, SANITARY precautions, DC,
&C., have done no good whatever,
the enemy leaping over all barriers and
Speeding abroad in all directions, as if
borne on the wings ofthe wind. SIM
ulteneously with its decline in New
Orleans, we heard Of its appearance
along up the Coast, upon the planta-
tons, in the villages and far into the
country. Along the Lafourche, out
in the Attakapas and Opelousas re-
gions up the Red River, over "the Bay
at all the watering places, Mobile,
Biloxi, and in the interior of Mississ-
ippi, at Jackson, in Florida, in Ala
bama, indeed everywhere in every
nook and corner Of the land, the fell
destroyer has made its appearance and
left its foot prints in the graveyards
where its hundreds and thousands of
victims sleep their last long sleep.
Oh! what a harvest has death
gathered in during the ravages of this
singular but terrible foe. We are sick
and tired of recording the deaths by
fever that are almost hourly announ-
ced. Our exchanges come to us full
of the details Of deaths doings in al
most every place in the South. When
will this end, and how many more
victims must fall before the destroyer
ceases his fell work?
