ing States. These two examples will suffice,
although others could be given, to stamp the
assertion of the Democrat as unworthy of Gre
dence.
We do not mean, by the facts which we have
stated, to contend that slaveholding State is
more favorable either to the increase of popu.
lation or to the construction of works of inn
provement. But we have only cited them, to
expose the gross perversions and shiftings to
which the enemies of the South will resort to
attain their malicious purposes. Among those
enemies there are none who are more worthy
of condemnation than those who direct their
shafts against the section of their residence, and
who, lost to all sense Of decency or patriotism,
act like the I" i'll bird of the adage.
Our contemporary, Of st. Louis, win have to
rest his logic upon more authentic facts be-
fore he can carry his point in lettering the gal
liant pioneers of his State from participation
in the fair Territory of Kansas. Every facility

THE PETERSBURG INTELLIGENcER
AND THE IROn-HEADs.

We have been much amused with the ironi.
cal structures Of our friend Of the Petersburg
Iatelligencer, who complains that while we
speak favorably Of iron architecture in general,
we should object to its application in the manu-.
facture Of q heads" We assure our friend that
there was no need Of any disclaimer on his part,
that he intended anything personally offensive
in his remarks. Il would require something
moro than the amiable badinage Of our contem-
porary to excite our mettle. We are accus-
toned to so many hard and serious raps in our
encounters with the press, that it is rather
pleasant than otherwise to receive these good
humored rebuns from those who, though politi-
cally our opponents, are in reality our friends
We would correct the mistake into which the
Intelligencer has fallen in relation to the new
party which has excited its mirtb. The Iron
heads as their name mign: have suggesteS,
are not opposed TO the Hards, bat are an organi-
zation recently formed in the Valley OF Vir.

THE CROPS.

The New York Herald, with lcommendable
zeal, has succeeded in obtaining, from reliable
sources, statements ofthe condition of the crops
in different States of the Union. The result
has been that the prospect of plentiful year
is far more favorable than has been generally
supposed. Indeed, we have long since ceased
to place much confidence in the reports which
are circulated almost every year of failure in
the crops The interest of the producer is cal
culated to induce him to misrepresent the facts
in order that the price of his produce may be
thereby proportionately increased. And even
if there be an honest intention to represent the
truth fairly, there is a tendency on the part o.
every agriculturist to depreciate his crops
whenever he has been partially disappointed.
But although such may be the case, and the
crops throughout the country may be far more
plentiful than they were at first represented tt
be, we have reason TO predict continued higl
prices in bread stuffs. The unprecedented
drought has certainly materially affected the
crop, and brought it far below an average one
and the continuance of the European war will
prevent as plentiful contribution as usual on
the part Of the large grain growing country in
the Odessa, and other fertile sections of East
ern Europe.
The Herald announces that the wheat crop
in Upper Canada, has been unprecedented, and
that the supplies for expectation to the United
States will be unusually large. From many
sources too, we learn that the grain cropin Eng
land has been immense. Large tracts Of coun
try have yielded an average ofthirty bushels to
the acre, and in some cases the enormous yield
of sixty bushels has been realized

The Fever Panic atJacksonville- Steam.
er Welaka Fired Into, &c. st

The Savannah papers bring us full details of
the outrage on the steamer Welaka, when pass
ing Jacksonville, Florida, on her route from
Savannah to Palatka, which was briefly alluded
to by telegraph on Saturday. A letter to the
owners at Savannah, says: fa, - q
"Messrs. Bisbee 4 Canova were informed
that the authorities would give orders to a posse
Of armed men TO FIRE into the Welaka If she
passed the quarantine ground, which is at
Danes Point. After we received this intelli-
gence Messrs. Bisbee, ]. Doors, and myself
went down to the bar and met Captain King,
when we informed him of the fact, and advised
him not to pass the quarantine, that IL he did
he would be fred into. He very properly re.
piled, he was not bound to Jacksonville but to
Palatka, and that he was going there, which,
IN my opinion, was correct answer. While
proceeding up the river, and when opposite the
town of Jacksonville, FIVE shots were fired at
him, one of which struck his boat in the ladies'
cabin, wounding one of the stewards, as we
have been informed this morning by good au-
thority."
The Jacksonville Ne,cs thus describes the
military arrangements
At eight o'clock on Sunday morning the vol.
unteers assembled according to orders, estab-
lished military camp, planted sentries and
manned their batteries. A lookout was posted
upon the deck of Messrs. Stevens 4 Fosters
Mill, who was TO announce the approach of a
steamboat by the discharge Of his musket.
The day past of very quietly, very little ex-
element being exhibited by either citizens or
volunteers, but a firm determination was eyinced
by every contenance, to uphold the laws which
they were called upon to defend, at any sacri.
fee. This determination was not the result Of
a sudden ebullition Of passion, but that Of set
tied conviction, that they were performing their
duty in full view Of the responsibility of their
position. At sunset an evening gun was fred,
and il was fondly hoped that the Welaka would
not make her appearance-that she had
brought up at the quarantine ground and would
respect the laws of the town. Those hopes
were soon dissolved by the report of musket
from the lookout station, and soon the smoke
Of a steamer became visible over the point
As the steamer advanced she was ascertained
TO be the Welaka, and the batteries were
manned and port FIRES lighted ready for dis
charge. As she came abreast Of the battery
blank cartridge was fred to bring her 10, but
as she disregarded the warning, the guns were
then sbotted, and commenced Ere upon her
II was, now growing SO dark that the aim of
the guns could not be certain and the steamer
passed on up the river.
