THE CROPS.

So far as we have been able TO form
IN opinion from all the sources oil IN
formation that have fallen in our way, |
We make up the following summary;
CLASS AND HAY.-Throughout the
United States. the yield of hay was.in
many places superior and in few places
inferior, and On the whole a good
yield, and owing to unusually good
weather il was generally saved in good
order.
0Ass.-'The oat crop never was bet
TER Granted. yet oats are this day
scarce in market. II is true the oat
crop was good. but as corn is not, and
buckwheat a great failure, and root
crops nowhere good, exceptin small,
isolated districts, the farmers arc hol-
ding back oats for their own use. not
for rise.
CoRx.-We have heretofore set
down the production of corn at less
than two thirds what 1t would have
been il we had felt no material drouth
this summer. In part OF Iowa, in
Northern Illinois and Northern Indi-
ana. and small part Of Michigan, the
corn crop is good. though late accounts
represent the drouth. notbefore preva-
lent, asshortening the ears in oil the
three last named States. In part Of
Missouri. in Central Illinois, on the
lower Wabash and in the south part Of
Indiana, in some ofthe best cora coun-
ties Of Tennessee, in Western Virginia
and Western Pennsylvania. in some of
the northern counties Of 0hio--in all
these, If we can believe universal tes-
timony-there is not half usual crop
Of corn. In other portions of those
States, In the Southwestern States, in
Eew-York. in New England. and the
south Atlantic States, will any man
sontend that the average yield Of corn
this year is equal to two-thirds Of the
production peracre. ofan average year,
in any ten?
But we do believe that with proper
economy. and if corn is not wasted in
feeding, and worse than wasted in dis
tilling. and with no foreign demand.
there viii be good supply. andno oc.
easion for extravagant prices. But as
the total yield is undoubtedly short
Of the usual average. il is a most sol
smn duty. which every good man will
practice to economic its use. so that
there will be no occasion to ask exor-
orbitant prices. or withhold corn from
the poor.
WHEAr.-It is conceded that the
wheat crop throughout the Union is a
fair one, and that there is not now, nor
will be. any foreign demand.
We do not believe that present pri-

season unless mills are unable to grind

Ezy Some doubt the existence Of
jesuit lodges in this county. simply
because they can't tell where they
meet, or who belong. They manage
so adroitly that It's dificultto tell who
they are. They meet secretly, and
act quietly. That their influence was
felt in the convention that nominated
the present pro-cathlic ticket, is too
manifest to be denied. If this were
not SO, why are the stump speakers OF
that party always lauding the Catholic
church, particularly when speaking
in the south west part Of this county?

The coast between Balaclava and Cape Cher
sonesus being abrupt and precipitous, furnish
es no suitable localities for the required pur-
pose, but some of the bays on the northern
boundary Of the Chersonesean peninsula may
possibly be found available.
Were the allied armies.in possession of the
Chersonesus, they would find plenty Of water,
for there are two good sources towards. Balacla-
va, though independent of it. One Of these
has been carried by an ,aqueductto Sebastopol
and supplies the reservoir near the public gar
dens OF that place. Destroying this aqueduct,
would be of no service towards reducing the
town, as that from Inkerman would still remain,
and the great fitting basin contains an immense
quantity. Besides which there are wells and
some small streams at the headIof the military
harbor, whence the place formerly drew its
only, though not very plentiful, supply. 81
| Another plan for attacking Sebastopol might
be adopted by landing to the north Of the bay Of
Inkerman, destroying or taking Fort Constan-
| tine and the other batteries from the rear, and
thence bombarding the naval arsenal, the
town, and shipsisiand, indeed, this is the only
| alternative, if afooting cannot be effected in
the Chersonesus.
Sebastopolis not the port Of construction for
ships ofwar; they are all built at Nicholiey
on the river Bug, as st. Petersburg is the build
| ing-place for Cronstadt. But here all repairs
are done, and stores and materials Of war in
| great quantity kept in the naval arsenal
| The works that have been accomplished in
the little port appropriated to this department
are immense. The quays are well and strong

under the superintendent of an English mas
ter mason. Along the eastern quay are ten
large stone buildings, for store-houses, then in

pected, TEEN with soldiers and sailors; indeed,

there; and all but Russians are discouraged or

ordered away from it entirely, but some few
