The Wheat Crou Of 1859.

Anxiety begins to be felt in relation to the
wheat crop Of the present year. 1t is likely
To he large, but now LARGE is the question.
The Cincinnati Prices Current recently gave
an estimate, in which it makes the crop in
fourteen Of the leading heat growing States
amount to an aggregate Of III 800 900 bush
els. This, it is believed by many, is by far
too little. The New York Herald has pre-
pared the following table, after much nice
calculation as likely to be much nearer the
truth,

half millions of bushels.

Stata Agricultural Fair.

The First Annual State Fair of the State
Agricultural Bureau is to be held at this place,
commencing on the first of October, and con-
tinuing one week. The fact seems heretofore
not to have attracted sufficient attention. 1t
should be recollected that from $4,000 to
s., 900 in premiums is to be given for the best
specimens Of the growth, produce or manufac-
ture of the State of Tennessee. The expe-
rience of the last Fair, which was a new thing
to most of the managers, will be of advantage
in the arrangement of this, and exhibitors and
competitors for prizes, can rely upon enjoying
the best possible advantages in the disposition
of their stock and such articles as may be sent
in.
The First Annual Exhibition and Fair of
the Mechanics Institute commences simulta-
neously with the Agricultural Fair, at Odd
Fellows Hall. These two enterprises are not
designed to compete with one another, but
rather as mutual helps. The exhibition at the
Hall will be of different character from the
one at the fair grounds, and will be open to
visitors mostly at night.

Miners and Manufacturers Bank.

The Knoxville Wing in publishing the card
of the President and Cashier of this Bank says:
We have stated that the President and Cashier
were honest and correct men, above suspicion, and
that their management Of the Bank would be cor.
rect aud we say so still. Messrs Doolittle & Co.,
of Philadelphia, large Stockholders, in the Bank,
took with them quantity Of the bills, which they
entered into Bonds to either return an equivalent
for or honor the drafts of the Bank to an equal
extent. Instead of doing this, they suffered the
issues to pass into tine hands of Brokers, who came
here with them for redemption, and drew some sl2,
900 the first day. The Cashier very properly de-
clined to redeem more of these issues and resolved
on protecting home Depositors. This is briefly the
whole state of the case, as we understand it, for
we have had no conversation with any of the off,
GERS Of the Bank. COL McCl1ng was opposed, as
we understand II, TO letting these issues 60 to
Philadelphia, but overruled by the officers Of the
Bank. 1t was a SIMILAR affair that caused the run
upon the Bank Of East Tennessee, two years ago.
Our banks ought 20 be owned by home people, aud

always been our doctrine.

Busna Vista Springs, Ky.

AUGUST 20, 1855.
The undersigned, portion of the visitors at
Buena Vista Springs, Logan county, KY, for the
present season. actuated alone by sense OF justice
and desire to show our appreciation Of true worth
and merit, cannot forego this opportunity OF ex-
pressing publicly our high appreciation of the su-
superb and princely style in which this popular
watering place is kept by its present proprietor
JETFRIEs, Esq, as well as Of the curative proper
ties of the mineral waters. We most unhestatingy
say to those afflicted by disease, you can, in our
opinion find no mineral water more likely to restore
you to health and vgor and to the lovers of pleas
ure, you can find no rural retreat where the hours
fit more speedily or with more unalloyed pleasure
and gaiety. The romantic scenery, the entire and
perfect seclusion of this sylvan retreat and above
all, the gallant urbane and princely bearing OF the
proprietor, combine to make it the most desirable
watering place in the West.

Can we prevail upon the True Wing TO answer
us this question: If the party which ran Col Gen.
try for Governor in the late election is a party,
composed of men of both parties why is not the
election of Col johnson TO the Senate in this
ty as much a gain to the new party as the election
of Brien to the House in De Kalb county p Union
and american.
We see nothing about the Union's question
particularly perplexing or intricate. For the
sake of brevity and convenience it is desirable
to have some standard in the past, however ar
btrary, by which to estimate degrees of COM
paritive success or defeat. Hence when we
say the Americans have gained in De Kalb, or
elsewhere, we mean they have gained as CON-
pared with the known wing strength, what.
ever that was, two years ago. When in like
manner we say the Anti-Americans have gain
ed in McNairy or elsewhere we mean they
have gained as compared with the strength of
the so-called democracy two years ago: Ameri-
canism beingthe essentially controlling question
of this canvass. Literally and strictly speak
ing, every member in the American ranks is
of course, in such sense, q gain, because the
party had but lately no existence in Tennessee.
But then we have a right to adopt for con-
venience, such a comparative standard as we
have above indicated.
