Since the season of ls49. and including the pre-
sent year, in nearly all the Western States at
least one third more acres Of land have been
placed under cultivation; while in New Englani,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland
and Virginia, the number Of acres cultivated
have been but slightly if at all augmented.
But this years crop, according to all accounts,
will yield probably one.fourth more bushels Of
wheat on the same number of acres than the
soil produced six years ago. If we acknow-
ledge these facts and we see no grounds for
contradiction, the above aggregate Of one hun.
dred and fourteen and half millions of bush.
els, or an increase over the yield Of lS49 Of
teen States named, does not even approximate
to the probable actual result. For instance,
the estimated yield of Ohio is put down a.
sixteen millions, while an average crop in
that State would be twenty two millions
Of bushels; and in Illinois, from whence we
have report that the crop would be twenty
five millions, which, however, we regard as
altogether too high figure, the table above
allows only thirteen millions. In New YORK
the increase over 1S49 is put down at 1878. 900,
while, in fact, it will not fall much short of being
three millions bushels greater than the comps
rative meagre yield Of that year. We have
prepared the following table after great deal
OF calculation, which We give for the benedt OF
spectators, and which we think will be ac-
knowledged, and will no doubt be found to be
great deal nearer the actual aggregate of the
wheat crop this year in the States named than
that of our contemporary in Cincinnati -

people, III pN sections, viii be united against
Northern disunionists and Southern secession
lists, and will secure a new dynasty at Wash
iDgton devoted to the Union and the constitu-
ten. and to the solid advancement af the har-
mouy, power, prosperity and glory of the re-
public, at home and abroad. There would be
danger were there no other parties in the field
than Northern niger worshippers on the one
side and the spoils democracy aud Southern
fire-eaters on the other; but with powerful
and steadily angmenting national party, fresh
from the people, standing between them, there
is little to fear.
We have been threatened from our leading
antislavery organs with a terrible storm-a re-
gu)ar rafting tornado-against the South aud
the Union. Let it come. The sooner, perhaps,
The better 1t will serve, at least, to wake up
the people.

COLONEL. KINNEY Run AGRouND-The most
persevering, and of late the most unfortunate
Anglo Saxon colony builder Of the present ge-
neration is Colonel Kinney. After all his
Efforts, and expenditures of time, patience, aud
money to get up a peaceful" armed expsdi-
tion for Nicaragua, which would sweep the
country from stem to stern and take posses
sion of it. including the Nicaragua Transit line,
he was compelled to leave his flag ship under
blockade in this port by the whole United
States home squadron, and compelled to put to
sea en- route for Nicaragua in a small schooner,
with seventeen followers. Doubtless this was
a necessity of his arrangement with Colonel
Walker of California. He expected Walker to
be in Nicaragua at certain time, and it was
necessary at all hazards to meet him there,
with such resources as could be commanded.
Colonel Walker sure enough has invaded Mica
ragua, and has met with a warm reception,
while Colonel Kinney, instead Of being on
hand to second his colleague, is grounded
among the reefs Of the Turks Islands. But he
is off again for Nicaragua in British vessel
