CRIMEA AND sEBAsToroL.
The London Times says. About the time
we write, if not on this very day. a force
made up of English French and Turks, and
amounting to between $4,000 and 100000
men, will invade Crimca, and attempt to cf.
feet a lodgmcnt Oh the heights commanding
the harhor Of Scbastopol.
The preparations have been some time in
progress, and the rumorcd visit of Generals
Brown and Canrobcrt to the Circassian coast
with 5000 men, was really to secure a land
ing on the Crimca. 1t is then with the great.
satisfaction that we now announce an enter.
prise corresponding to the dignity and re-
sources of the two great western powers,
England and France and so far justify the
confidence in Turkey. A fortnight will prob.
ably elapse before any tidngs of the result
can arrive, but at an earlier date we shall learn
from the east that all the dSpoSable forces
have embarked for the ncishboIhood of Sc.

TIE DRouTlI.. The New York Tribune
whose western correspondence is more extcn
sivc than any other paper in the country
speaking Of the drowth now prevailing, says
THE drouth now prevailing is more wide
spread and more destructive than any hereto
fore known in America. The corn in many
of the best counties in Illinois and Indiana
that promised an average yield of sixty bush
els per acre, will in many fields, not produce
single bushel, and the product cannot pos.
|
sibly equal one half the usual average, if in
decd it cqua Is onc-fifth. As we have before
stated, this drouth is no longer confined to q
few isolated localities; it extends from Maine
to Missouri; it has not only cut off Indian
corn, but potatoes, turnips and buckwhcat
and the fall feed for cattle. In some places
the poor brutes are literally starving. Some
feed them out of their winter store, and some
drive them to the woods to browsc;-all sell
them as fast as they can, and many are sen,
to the shambles, though only fit for tn,
knackcr's yard.
Now what is the prospect? for We may as
well look it in the face at once. 1t is unie.
niable that the greatest Of all American crops
Indian Corn-will be wocfully below the
anticipations of every farmer in the country,
and greatly below our actual wants. The
consequence will be, that western pork can.
not be made at such prices as have prevailed
for many years, and our supply of Western
beef cattle, though it may not fall Off mum.
Der, will be like Pharoah's lean kine-sadly
