by the farmers did not probably exceed 100,-
100000 bushels yet we exported of il about
100000 bushels. Our Indian corn crop was .
failure from the drought, end yet from New
York alone our exports Of last years corn, as
late as last week, amounted to $4,000 bushels
II, then, with the general drought of last year,
cutting off about one-half the corn and other
autumnal products, we subsisted on hundred
millions Of bushels of wheat and had five mil
lions excess for expectation, what can we net do
with l6O,000,00O, and the most prolific year in
corn potatoes, grass, fruits, and vegetables ever
knewn on this continent!
According to the experience of the last year,
weshall have from this years wheat crop some
100000 bushels for expectation, instead Of
100000 as estimated by our Virginia cotem-
porsry while, on the other hand, probably
less than 100000 bushels will suffice to
supply all deficiencies in Western and South
France and Germany indicate good crops
this season. Cut off from Russia last year,
and her $4,000, 600 bushels of exports of wheat,
and confronted on the West by short crops in
the United States, there was an unBuppled de-
ticiency in Western Europe, which naturally
enough contributed its full share to raise our
breadstuffs and provisions to famine prices.
But the Central and Western States of Europe
have since been preparing for the contingencies
of this Russian war, and to make good from
their own resources the loss of her usual sup
plies to their necessities. In this view, we
dare say that our excess of wheat will be more
than sufficient, at reasonable prices, to supply
the demands Of Italy, Spain, France and Eng
land For the uses of the allies in the Crimea,
their captures and the fine wheat growing dis
tricts Of Turkey in Asia Minor and Egypt, will,
doubtless, be competent to supply the demand.
The conclusions, then, at which we arrive are
these-that the late reductions in our market
prices of wheat are not so much the results of
huckstering and kitefying, and the specula-
tors hue and cry Of extravagant crops, as the
consequences Of supply and demand-that last
years prices are permanently done away with;
and that our abundant and cheap provisions
for the current year will be an advantage to all
classes Of the community, farmers included
The croakers may croak but with the country

life, North, East, South and West, it is useless

GOVERNOR REEDER.-We are at last in
formed from Washington that Mr.. Reeder has
been removed from his Office of Governor of
Kansas, and that Mr.. Dawson, of Pennsylva-
MIA, who voted for the Nebraska bill, has been
appointed in his place. We have yet to learn
whether this removal of Mr.. Reeder is
the result Of a conviction upon the charge
Of Commissioner Manypenny of unoffcer-
like speculations in the lands of the
poor Kansas half-breed Indians, or whe-
Their he is discharged in Difference TO the
petition of the Kansas Legislature; or for a
little capital for Buncombe in the elections of
this week and tie next in Tennessee, North
Carolina and Kentucky. We guess, however,
that these elections have had good deal to do
with it; and that Reeder's removal will be
trumpeted all over the South as another valiant
proof of the fidelity Of the administration to
Southern rights. But why was this free soil
land spe culator appointed in the first place?
and why has his removal been delayed until he
has done all the mischief necessary to bring
about condition Of things in Kansas little bet
ter than state of civil war? Very likely the
ex Governor, having closed up his real estate
operations, will be content to return to Penn
sylvania. Let his successor keep clear Of the
half-breeds, avoid Stringfellow, cut the aboli-
tionists, and stick to his official duties, and ne
may get along smoothly enough among the
border ruffans.' We hope the Ex-Governor,
on his return, will favor US with another
speech, and tell us how the question was set
tied in the Cabinet.

governors both in Massachusetts, and New
York who would have graced any other station
in life, but who, in their governments, spent a
career Of uDmitigated misery and strife, and have
left behind them disgraceful reputation: not
from any faults Of theirs, but from the falsity
and absurdity Of their position. Just SO it
is in Canada Lord Elgin, had he been
elected governor by the people Of Canada,
would have been eminently popular, and
would have been displaced in obedience to
the principle of rotation only; sent to Canada
by the British government, he was despised
and detested. We have no means OF Judging
what Sir Edmund Heads qualities or abilities
may be. But from the uDpopularity he seems
to have gained before he has performed single
act of magistracy, it seems likely that however
be developes he will be sacrificed as victim to
British connection.
1t would be far more sensible for the Cana
dams to vote an address quietly to the Queen,
begging her to send them no more governors,
than to 60 on, as heretofore, making bad blood,
and quarrelling with men who really deserve
their respect and esteem. The British govern
ment would certainly not insist on sending go
vernors to Canada against the peoples will; and
it is quite plain that far better men for the
position could be found in the province than
out of it. That the Canadians will come to
that ultimately, is obvious. 1t is only ques-
ton whether the anomalous plan of British go
vernors should be continued, at the cost Of the
public peace of mind and honest mems charac.
tiers, until it can no longer be borne; or whether
the future should be anticipated, and the mis-
chief in store evaded, by adopting at once re-
form that in the ordinary course of events will
only be accomplished in the lapse Of years, and
after more inconvenience and trouble.

The Amoor River.

If the statement which was made TO the al
lied fleet at Petropaulovski, that the Russians
had or 10000 men at their fortress on the
Amoor river, and we are inclined to think il
true, we shall not be surprised 10 hear of a
place, up to this time entirely unknown to the
! world, which will bid defiance to the formida-
bic fleet that has been sent TO destroy it.
Among the great rivers Of the world, the
Amoor, Amur, or Saghalien, Of Northwestern
Asia, is perhaps the least known /; yet we
know that of all streams in Northern Asia,
boundless as that region is, it is the only one
that empties itself into a navigable ocean
which is open 10 commerce. All the other
great rivers of Northern Asia discharge their
waters into the Polar Sea, and are thereby lost
TO commerce. The Amoor river cannot prop
erly be called river of Siberia, but of Chi
nese Tartary or Manchura. 1t rises in about
longitude 100 east, and latitude 40 north, and
after winding course of about two thousand
miles, reaches the lower part of the Sea of
Ochotsk, opposite the great island of Sagha-
lien. 1t may, therefore, be called the only
highway of nature that directly connects the
central steppes of Asia with the rest Of the
world. 1t receives several large streams
which rise in Mongolia and Manchuria and
the country watered by it is said to be extreme
" rich in furs The Chinese and Russians
formerly had many settlements on its upper
waters, but during the latter part of the last
century the latter withdrew.
As early as the year 1859 the Russians be-
gan to establish colonies on both banks of the
Amoor, intending TO annex the country TO
theirs, but coming in contact with the Chinese
they reliHqushed what they had acquired, and
fell back to about the 55th parallel, near which
is the southern boundary of Siberia. The
Chinese took good care, during the last centu-
ry, that they should not again obtain foot
fold on the lower parts of the river, for which
purpose they not only established forts, but
| kenf armed boats there. But it now appears
that during the last forty years, while Europe
has been at peace, the Russians have quietly
possessed themselves of this country, and
| erected strong fortresses near the mouth Of the
great river. So little is known of this stream
that we can find it nowhere stated what its
magnitude is. Judging, however, from its

Interesting Facts.

History informs US that many Of the coun-
tries of Europe which now possess very mild
winters at one time experienced severe cnld du-
ring this season off the year. The Tlber, at
Rome, was oflen frozen over, and snow at one
time lay for furty days in that CITY. The Eu-
kline Sea was fruzen every winter during the
time Of Ovid, and the rivers Rhine and Rhone
now flow freely every winter; ice is unknown
10 Rome, aud the waves of The Euxine dash
their wintry foam uncrysialised upon the rocks
Some have ascrihed these climate changes 10
agriculture-the cutting down Of forests, The
exposure of the upturned soil to the summer S
sun, and the draining Of great marshes We
do not believe that such great changes could be
produced on the climate of any country by az
rlculture, and we are certain that no such the
ory can account for the contrary change Of eli
mate-from warm TO cold winters--w hich his
tory tells US has taken place in other countries
than those named. Greenland received its
name from the emerald herbage which once
clothed its valleys and mountains; and its East
coast, which is pow inaccessible on account Of
the perpetual Ice heaped upon its shore, was in
the eleventh century, the seat Of fourishing
Scandinavian colonies, all trace of which is
now lost. Cold Labrador was named Vinland
by the Northmen, who visited it A. ID. leo,
and were charmed with its then mild climate.
The cause of these changes is an important in
quiry. A pamphlet, by John Murray, civil
engineer, has recently been published in Lon
don, in which he endeavurs 10 attribute those
changes of climate To the changeable position
of The magnetic poles.

Friendship.

Friendship is not plant Indigenous. 10
exotic of rare beauty and fragrance, yet
of difficult culture The smile of confidence
is the sunlight, the tear Of sympathy the show
er that hastens its growth. 1t cannot endure
the blasts of anger, or torrents of invective,
but is refreshed and invigorated by the gentle
zephyrs of kind words, aud the early dew of
admonition and counsel 1t hourishes in the
soil of well-cultivated affections, enriched BY
intelligence and refinement, and its growth
will be much more luxurlant if watered from
the rills of divine love. Indeed, without this
watering from its native spring, it attains but
dwarfed and sckly growth.
Its blossoms expand in the noon-tde of pros
perity, but it yields its sweet fragrance in the
dark night Of adversely. 1t is not only beauti-
ful and fragrant. but it possesses rare medici-
nal virtues. It's green leaves are for the bind
ing up of the broken heart, and for the healing
of the wounded spirit. 1t is an antdote for
the poisoned shafts of calumny, and remarka-
BILE for giving relief to all pains Of the heart.
Shall we not be assiduous in the cultivation
OF this rare and valuable plant, suffering nc
weeds TO check its growth, no adverse winds
to visit it too roughly, no busy-body rudely to
pluck its flowers, or brush the pure dew of the
morning from its opening budsl
