THE WHEAT CRop IN ILLINors.-We
learn from the Alton Telegraph, that the
wheat crop throughout the State has nev.
er looked finer, and, if nothing intervenes
to cut off the promising yield, the crop
will exceed all calculation. Throughout
Madison, Jersey, Greene, Macoupin,
Montgomery, Scott, and other adjoining
counties, much larger quantity thar
usual has been planted. and the same il
said to be true in other parts of the State
Illinois is expected this year, to take he

OUR RAILROAD AFFAIRS.

In noticing the suspension Of work on our rail
road last week we stated our belief that it was at
tibutabe 10 the unfavorabe condition of the money
market We believed SO at the time on the strength
of what we considered reliable information but
more careful investigation since made, has brought
TO our knowledge facts OF which we were then ig-
nOrant which have convinced us that we were in
ror. We are now satisfied that there is too much
reason for the almOstuniyena conviction entertained
by our people, that the suspension was the fruit Of
the union with the Marietta company, if not the very
object had in view by the willy and inscriptions en-
emios Of our road by whom the scheme was concOct-
cd, and finally consumated. Wedo not charge those
Of our Board who favored the union with corrupt or
reasonable motves-but if their motives were hon.
est, we can only say they were the dupes and msu.
ments of cunning and unprincipled men, who sought
the destruction Of our road and stopped at no means,
however dishonopble, to accomplish their object.
For ourselves, we confess that VIC have been too
crcduOus in regard to the intentions Of the Marietta
company since the ratification Of theunon. In spite
Of their old hostility we were willing to believe theiI
recent professions of good will and friendship and
hope that they would in good faith aid us in car
rying on our road to the point Of junction, according
to the terms OF the contract But now, when we SCI
all the fair promises which were made before the
union, fading into nothing; when we are told that
the large subscriptions of stock from Cincinnati from
100000 to $s0O000, which were to be be forth.
coming at once on the completion Of the contract
have entirely failed and when we see the Marietta
company whose condition before the union is now
admitted by themselves to have been at least as bad
as ours going on and rapidly completing its line
while ours is compelled to stOp-the conclusion is
irresistbly forced upon u.s. that the union was de.
signed to result to the exclusive benefit Of the Mari
eta company and that they foresaw aud intended
it should so result.
We cannot doubt that contract so ruinous to the
interests Of ourroad, so maniicstly fraudulent so un.
just and unequal in its operation will be set aside by
the legal tribunals il we appeal to them for redress
10 that remedy let us have recourse and cease mol
our efforts until the foul wrong which has been per
petOted shall be bl0tted out and our rights restored
to s-Highiaad Net0s.

Del y at the Mint.

The Philadelphia Bulletin remarks il
relation 10 the depredations recently dis
covered at the Philadelphia Mint:
The affair at the Mint, referred t.
yesterday, wag@a regular robbery, anC
not a defacaton. As Tar as we un
derstand it, Mr. j. Engle the WeigI
Cletk, through whose hands the deposits
OF California 60 d passed has been dis
covered to have been in the habit OF tax
ing various amounts from the different
bags, until the sum total amounted to $I4.'
600, for which, we are glad to learn full
restitution, has been made, This is the
whole amount OF his depredations. On
finding that his offence was discovered,
he Iel the city, and sailed from New
York last Saturday. in the Steamship
Washington, for Southampton.
IISuch were the facts why was the Grim
inaI allowed to escapel bold theft is
commtted, and on mere restitution being
made, the offender goes scot tree. Some
explanation is certainly due from those
who let him off, il they do not wish TO be
held guilty ofwhat at least has the appear.
ance of compounding felony. There
is certainly no just ground why an officer
of the government, occupying an impor.
tant position, and receiving its emolu
ments, should not be punished Tor crime
of this kind with the same rigor that is
meeled out to the offender who commits
an ordinary theft, The example is Ger.
tainly bad one, and calculated by the
impunity it offers, TO encourage these pub.
lie ,peculations. The matter should be
the subject of rigid investig oton, and the
parties in fault exposed TO general con-
demnaIion.-B Bali. american.

RUMOR BoMBARDMENT OF CRoNsTADT.
There was a rumor in New York on
Saturday that the city Of Cronstadt had
been bombarded by the allied fleet un
der Sir Charles Napier.
The report came from the office Of the
London fun, and it was stated that two
mercantile houses in New York had re-
ceived letters by the steamship America,
in which aIluSion was made to the cir
cumstance. 1t was further stated that
three thousand lives were lost in the con-
hict, and that the town was either taken
or abandoned. We give the rumor for
what it is worth. The arrival OF the Arc.
tic, now due, will either confirm or show
its faIsity. Whether this rumor is true
or not, we must be in anticipation Of such
an event before many days. The spring
is now fairly open, and Sir Charles is
now in the Baltic to take ST. Petersburgh
or lose his reputation. Look out for the

THURSDAY MORNING, MAY IS, 1854.


The storm alluded to yesterday continues to
rage with increased fury as it grows older.
Nothing of the kind has been known in Mime
sofa for several years. The rain commenced
OH Tuesday morning at six o'clock, and has
continued, without moments abatement, to
panied with stiff breeze from the north, rem.
dering the atmosphere raw and disagreeable,
and driving the falling element through roofs,
wall crevices, doors and windows. The surface
water stands in pools two feet deep upon the
level streets and yards and in many places
the contents Of cellars, heretofore considered
impcrviOus, are all ahoat. We are now GER
tainly paying for our pleasant weather the lat
ter part of winter. and for our extreme warmth
ofnnety degrees in April.
Lumbermcn, boatmcn, forwarding merchants.
and :. all hands, Interested in aquatic FREEDOM
nance are in high glec. The rivers are rising
logs and lumber will get to market early and
easily ; boats will run almost anywhere and ri
vcr business will be up to its highest notch.
All very fine, and indirectly beneficial to eve
ryDOuy, out the dry goods people are sOurcd
and give short answers-moncy needed and no
sales to-day-ladics can't come out SO long as
this "infcrnal weather. lasts, aud no prospects
of its clearing up. Even the grocers and
butchers swear, and firmly aver that people
don't cat any thing during such wicked and tenn
pcstuOus weather. Umbrellas are voted bore
and housed-while waterproof caps coats
ovcrhauls and boots are walking the streets in

two dollars are husbandcd on each pair. the
avocation is rcsorted to 10y many of the afllucnt
