The reports from the Western States are of the
most satisfactory description in relation to the
growing crops, and there is every appearance that
the harvest as whole will be both large and early
putting into activity every means of transportation,
to enable the growers to realise current rates
The enormous tax which the community now suffers
from the price offood weighs heavily upon business,
which cannot be expected to revive until some
thing like moderate rates are obtained. The wheat
crop of the United States is usually about 20, 000
600 bbls. consumed in the Union, or 8 100000 bbs
per quarter. In ordinary years this ha. been
worth S., or S25, 900 900. This year the consumers
are required to pay 500 900 900 for that quantity,
making the important item Of S35, 600, 900 for
wheat bread alone during the Summer mouths. If
the consumption of butchers meat is placed usual
at h. per head daily for population of 20, O00,
600 ID. per day, the consumption of one hundred
days at present rates spaid for with $75 000
S37, 100000 above ordinary rates. Every article
of human food isat corresponding prices, and while
these inordnate rates are required for the means of
sustaining life, they are the cause Of diminished
work and lower wages on the part OF these who
are compelled to purchase them The large har-
vests which promise, may reduce them to some
extent, but the wants of Europe must prove too
great to allow of very low prices for the coming
year and the recent advices from Europe are of at
least late harvest Should that prove al
so a bad one its influence upon the chances of
peace will be adverse, since Russia now disposed
to persevere will be less disposed to treat when
she imagines famine to have come to her aid
Such state OF affairs must prove very disastrous
TO the mercantile interests but the experience of
the old war was-the United States prospered by
the sale of farm produce and in the enjoyment OF
the carrying trade. The strength derived by Il es,
elements made active by the long wars of Europe,
displayed itself in 1872. -

IMPORTANT FROM THE RIO GRANpE

The Corpus Christi Valley and Advertiser, of the
I'd inst, contains the following important intelli-
gence 1t is taken from letter received at the Of
citizen of Laredo:
"The news from Mexico is important and excl
ting. 1t appears that orders from Santa Anna
were received to arrest and shoot, without ceremo-
n.y. some Of the leading citizens of Monterey and
Lampasas-among them Don Santiago Vidour late
Secretary of State of Nueva Leon, a man of great
influence. The existence of these private orders
leaked out, and Don Santiago Vidouri despatched
a courier to Lampasas with the news and when
Gen. Manchaca Santa Annals emissary, arrived, he
was met by two hundred armed citizens and forced
to surrender.
/ " His life was spared in consequence of the
manly position he assumed, acknowledging that
his orders were to shoot some eight of the leading
citizens of Lampasas, and that had he the ability,
the orders of his superiors would be implicitly
obeyed. He did not ask his life as his superiors
would not believe but he had sold his command.
This gallant captain, who is well known by our
informant was alive at last accounts and the
probability is that his manly bearing will save
him. E...
The news of these transactions soon sprea
throughout the surrounding country. Juan Suassa
had left Lampasas with 200 men, and would be
joined at Vile Albania Ssbinas, Lslinas, &c, by
force equal to 1000 men,
"The whole country is represented as beirg in
arms, and an attempt to take Monterey will be
made Immediately. The Governor of Nueva

COL. THOMAS l.. BRANSFoRD.

This gentleman, formerly distinguished wing
of Tennessee, and now resident of Kentucky,
is a decided opponent of know-nothingism. He is
thus spoken of by the Louisville Times, an abe
and spirited democratic paper at Louisville:
TIE THIRD DIsFRIor.-From all the information
we have from this District we think it likely that
Col Thomas L. Bransford will be the candidate
of the anti-know-nothing party for Congress-
Mr.. Bransford is a gentleman of excellent ability,
and is an earnest and impassioned speaker He
made speech in Glasgow, short time since
which we have heard spoken of in terms of the
highest commentator. The anti know-nothings
of all parties were greatly delighted with it, and
numbers of them solicited him to become can
didate for Congress. We understand, also, that
a number of leading gentlemen in the district have
addressed letter to him, urging hin to take the
field.
1t is very much to be hoped that he will do so,
and that the whole anti know nothing party of the
district will rally upon him and give him jealous
support. Col. Bates the leading Democrat of the
district, does not desire to made the canvass, and
probably cannot without sacrifice which his friends
ought not to ask from him. We hope, therefore,
that such assurances may be given to Mr.. Bransford
of the support of the Democracy, that he will 40
longer withhold his services He can be elected
with ease and his election will greatly aid in crush
ing out know-nothingism 10 Kentucky.

the extract The truth of the report has never
been denied by Col. GENTRY, and he tacitly admit
