We believe no other newspaper in the world
has q subscription list over balf SO large as
this; and no periodical Of aay s0r. can rival it.
And While its extge;ae cheapness, rendering an
increase of paying readers only az indirect Pc
cuniary advantage to US, has doubtless largely
swelled its subscription list, it would be atsur-
dity not to perceive in this unprecedented pat
ronage soms evidence of public approval and
esteem.

The MEADOWS OF AMERICA.--Gov.
Wright, of Indiana, says that our grass crop
Is not properly appreciated. No crop, he
says, approaches so near spontaneous yield,
and none yields SO large profit. The hay
crop Of the United Suites in 1850 he esti-
mates at $4,000, 900 tons; that for S55 he
estimates al 100000 which IS worth
Sl50,000,o00i while the whole cotton crop
is valued at only Sl28, 100000. OF this
crop more than half is produced by four
states--New York, (which yields one forth
CT the whole, Ohio, Indiana, aud Illinois.
The grass crop which is used for pastorage
isat least as valuable so that single h'rb
Is worth annually over three hundred mil
lions Of dollars. Few people will believe
that the grass crop Of New York State is
worth more than IT'S wheat, and yet statistics
show that such il the fact.

FRANKLIN GONNA convention for the nomi-
nation of county officers for Franklin County, was
held at Bakersfield on the 18th inst. We have no
other means Of asccrtaining the political complex
ion Of those attending than the resolutions adopted
and the men they put in nomination indicate, which
are as follows -
SeRaiors-P. p. L%cavens, J. II. Farusworth, W.
IL. Blakei States .dHorney-H. @. Edison; Sher-
W-Addison Burr Judge Of Probate-Jeptha
Bradley.
The convention adopted the preamble and reso-
lutions of the Burlington Convention of the 9th
Of June, although the committee on resolutions re-
ported for a platform the Resolutions adopted by
the convention Of the 1lth inst. The following
was also adopted
''Resotpef, That though we ceusure neither the
principles, nor the action of the American party,
us far as now developed, but on the contrary,
commend the firmnoss Of the Northern delegates in
withstanding the domineering control Of the South
at Philadelphia. Still we look forward with hone
and confidence TO the time when there will be only
two parties in these United States; the great Free
Pdrtyef The Union, and the Slave Party"

constructed reservoir large enough 10 supply
the whole city with water. A dam is thrown
across the river at this point, by which means
a sufficient head Of water Is gained to carry the
ponderous wheels that force the water up to the
reservoir. There are four or Eve SETS Of pumps,
made like the force pump Of a steam engine,
each stroke Of which forces nearly q hoQshcnd
of water into the reservoir. The land between
the bluff and the river is laid out as a park,
covered with trees, and adorned by several foun-
iains, whose unceasing play adds much to the
beauty of the spot.
From Philadelphia We went via Baltimore to
l%larpor's Ferry, Va, where we spent the Sab
bath. This is one of the most romantic places
| ever saw made SO by nature, for man has
done very little to improve it. The village is
situated at the junction Of the Potomac and She
nandoah Rivers, and has about $500 inhabi-
tanls. Just at the junction Of the two rivers,
the mountains rose to a great height, on the
North 1900 feet, aud on the South 500 feet,
above the water. The space between the prec-
ipiccs is fully occupied, on one side Of the river
by a public road, on the other side by the coun-
ty road, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and
the Chesapeake & Ohio canal. At Just this
point the railroad and the highway cross the
Potomac over the same bridge. That part of
the bridge used for the highway is perfectly
straight, but the railroad makes a curve upon
the bridge, and a branch road leaves it at the
long cut, and runs OF up the Shenandoah, par
allel to tho highway, while the main stem Of
the railroad proceeds up the Potomac. The
bridge resembles a great Y, except that the
main part is curved. The scenery at HIarper's
Ferry is grand beyond description.
The next day VT took the Baltimore & Ohio
r. r. for Wheeling, IN route for CINCINNATI
But the time would fail me were | to attempt

ment, or the picturesque scenery along lis
route, or the many pleasant stopping places be-
tween H~larper's Ferry aud this place, and |

A BAD SPECULATION. We understand that
corn was sold in this market Yesterday at IS
cents, which had been purchasedpn speculation
some two months since at Sl,I0, and stored in
anticipation of still higher prices So says the
New Orleans Delta of July l2. 1t is well I'M
dersiood that the produce dealers have held a
convention at BulIolo, N. Y, which was large
ly attended, for the purpose of keeping up the
price of breadsIuils. Immediately afterwards
large quantities of flour were ordered into store,
and corn, in the face Of a decline of Is. Cd. ster-
ling in the English market, maintained its buoy
ancy Ut an advance. II is not difficult to ac.
count for the milk in the cocoanut now. The
matter is perfectly clear, and several very un-
usual ''freaks of trade" are reeonciled without
the aid of forty feet relectors. 1t is to be hoped
that tho conspiraiors will meet with the exper-
ience of their New Orleans contemporary
Boston Courier.

A WIG

L. ". bliss, and forty others of West Fairlec and
Bradford, have issued a call for q Wing State
Convention, in the following words, to wit;
"The straight out-and-out Whirs Of Vermont
are requested TO meet at White River Junction. on
the sth day Of August next, at noon, TO nominate
candidates for State Officers, and to do any other
business that will eonduce to the best interests Of
this ancient and honorable party. Let no Whir In
the State be afraid to do what is right
The above call appears in several papers, and,
among others, in the Patriot.
1t must greatly rejoice the hearts Of those ac-
quainted with politics in years past to see such a
call emanating from Orange County. The sight
thereof must tend TO confirm the belief that in the
fires of affection faith is purified and strength
ened. Let it not be said hereafter that the Wing
party is defunct. Rather let US all rejoice at the
indications, furnished by the publication OF the
above call in the Vermont Patriot, that the time is
approaching when the animals, heretofore beligcr-
ent, shall be found united in loving embrace. If
Barnum desires to eclipse all his former reputation
derived from the exhibition Of rare and unnatural
curiosities, including the baby-show and handsome
women, let him send to Orange County for the
Wing party, and either place it in his Museum in
New York, or set FORMULATING through the coun-
try.

LATER PROM KASzAs.-KanEas dates Of the 28d
arc received at st. Louis. Governor Reeder has
vetoed all bills passed by the Legislature, on the
ground that he does not consider the Legislature,
in legal session, since they removed from Paw
nee, without authority, and in confirmation
of the Nebraska-Kanzas bill. The vetoed bills
were all re-passed by both branches, by large
majorites. Bills have been introduced, re-
curing cmigrants from Massachusetts, and 9TH
or infected states, to take oath to obey the
laws Of Kansas territory, that is the re-enacted
laws of Missouri, also an act allowing every man
who had paid a poll tax Of one dollar to vote in
Kansas The free state members expelled from the
Legislature, have published a protest against this
fraudulent body.
