TIE State Register Of the 10Th ult.
says -
From all quarters we learn that the
growing crops in the central part Of the
State were never finer than at present.
Within the last week we have taken
several drives to different parts OF The
country, and can say that, during sixteen
years experience in the State, we havo
never seem such splendid prospects for
the farmers. The wheat is beginning 10
ripen. The yield will be very large and
the quantity and quality to the acre far
greater than has been gathered for many
years. Grass is also very fne. Corn
is Aourishing. The breadth Of these va
rious crops is greater than ever before
attempted, and il no misfortune should
intervene, we may expect all our farmers
to make their fortunes this year.
The apprehension Of great injury ia
the Illinois wheat crop, by the bug and
fly, are found to be without cause. The
damage is but slight.

land of their birth and the localities most
dear to their hearts by specious promises,
paraded in flaming handbills, studiously
circulated in every town and village of

upon men of sanguine temperament, ac-

their means of subsistence diminishing,
and the prospects of providing for their
families every day becoming more dis
couraging, consent to encounter all the
difficulties incident to a new country,

The FIRST DAY OF THE SESSION.
The Capitol was yesterday the almost
exclusive point of interest in this city,
and our local reporter very properly re-
paired thither. An hour before noon
the galleries of the House were full, and
many of the fair and gentle were among
their occupants. The Hobbies were also
full of privileged persons, whose bust
ness, interest, or curiosity had attracted
them to the scene Within the bar
nearly all were standing and engaged in
conversation, and the movement Of the
sea of heads and shoulders and the hum
OF voices suggested thought of the sur
glng ocean and the deep murmur of the
waves. AT noon precisely, when the
Clerk called to order, there came a sud
den calm, the waves were quoted and a
most forcible illustration was presented,
IN the apparent diminution of numbers,
OF the advantages of system and order
IN the disposition of the persons who
constitute multitude. Once seated
there was no longer the appearance of
crowd ana we trust we may be permitted
to remark that, whether viewed indiyid-
ually or in the aggregate assembly, the
members of this House impress the
lookers-on with the conviction that it is
composed, in great part, if not altogether,
of men who wisely value the esteem thu that
appearances inspire in the general mind,
being becomingly attired, neat in appear
ahce, and respectful in bearing and de-
meanor.
The Senate and Supreme Court pre-
sented nothing novel in their appearance,
and they who are most familiar with
their career no doubt breathe the patri-
otto wish that change may not come to
them with the lapse of time. National
