The Harvest In France.

French government for the prohibition of the ex.

The result 10, that the wants Of the different
States below mentioned may be estimsted at TO-.

In Europe this year must be ten millions Of hecto

and England alone imported nearly twenty. nine

and Holland must have been eleven millions, which
certainly is not an exaggerated amount In

that the stuaton Of Europe Is better this year. even

INTERESTING LETTER FROM OREGON ON THE csOPs
or THE Last YEAR IN THAT TERRITORY-G0OD
REroRr-PRosPECTs AND PROSPERITY or OREGON.
MARION County, Oregon, Oct 80, 1854.
JAMES G. BENNETT, ESQ.,,
EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD.
DEAR SIR Your circular Of Sept. has been
handed to me BY Mr.. George I. Curry. Secretary Of
Oregon Territory, with . request that l would
reply to It.
With "a the past season has not been In many
colder, with moro rain during the summer and
early autumn, and crops of all kinds have bsen
later in coming to maturity, by from two to three
weeks.
Indian corn is not cultivated very extensively Ia
this country; more was planted the last spring,
though, than ever before, and do not think the
average yield per acre below that Of any former
eaaon. In some places 1t has been Injured by the
early frost-early for this country-about the 18th
II the present month. The yield per acre Of the
wheat crop is not much, II any, below the usual
average; and then the quantity Of land In wheat
has been much greater than heretofore. have
no means of estimating the amounts produced the
present season, but we have certainly large sur
plus of this grain.
The oat crop is not inferior to that Of any former
season. The potatoe crop, az has always been the
case, l6 excelent. what ID called the p0ta zoe rot
is not known In Oregon. Our grass crop is good,
and It is never otherwise in this country We have
not many meadows yet, nor pastures OF cultiv .ted
grasses, but depend mainly for our stock on the
native grass, as luxuriant a growth of winch now
covers our rich prairies and green hill sides as /
have been accustomed to see in Illinois In the
month Of june This Is the autumn gro WITH, on
which we expect our cattle and herses to winter.
There are not yet very many bearing orchards in
Oregon but what we have give promise OF supe
rior excellence. Apples end pears are sure ;rop
with ne, and always Of the first quality, In few
years we sball have fruit in great abund ance; Is
yet II Is scarce and high priced apples selling
readily for ten and twelve dollars per bushel.
The price Of most other Of our agricultural pro.
ductiOns is very low. Wheat is worth from Sc
twenty-five cents to one dollar per bushel oats
about atty cents, and potatoes not more than
twenty6 Eve cents. In this country agriculture Is
yet In its infancy. It has been but little time
since our fertile lands have been taught to produce
the various necessities Of civilized le aud now we
have plenty and to spare. Our eli nate Is 80 tenn
perate, and our seasons so uniform, that it cannot
be long before Oregon will take high place among
agricultural States. In this season OF general
dearth and bad crops, while we sympathize deeply
with other countries, we cannot but thank Heaven
more than ever that 1t is good fortune tn dwell
BY the green hills in the fruitful valleys Of Oregon.
Yours, j. WOODsIDEs.

MR. CHAMPION AND SECRETARY MARcY-The
Albion newspaper having very positively affirmed
that "what wns done by Mr.. Champion lin the
matter OF enisting men in the United States for
the war in the East had the previous sanction of
Mr.. Marcy, tie American Secretary Of State,-an
unofficial sanction, but none the less satisfacto-
ny explanation for those who would discuss this
matter on the broad basis of right and wrong"
the U"iOu of Tuesday puts in the following de-
niuI:
Here is direct affirmation, (which we as direct
~ contradict. We say, anu are authorized in the

or unofficial. Nay, we aver that the pleclSe con-
trsIy IL the fact.
The denial. says the N. Y. Commercial Adver-
tiser is cerainly as positive as the allegation, and
there is direct issue Of veracity between the two
jour- ais, or rather between their lnfomants, for
OF course neither paper can have thus spoken ex
