them abundant, while others who have
made round trip to The Atlantic, taking
Canada in the way, express the most I'M

TIE CROPs.-Throughout this section
of country the growing crops have not
looked 50 flattering for many years. The
corn crop is growing very rapidly, and
promises most abundant yield. The
oats crop, if the authorizations Of the yield
are realized will be drug during the next
year. They could not be more fauering.
1t is generally conceded that they will not
bring more than twenty or twenty-five
per bushel this fall. The potato crop will
be enormous. Ii is estimated that the
yield will be but little short Of 100000
bushels, and that they will be bought be-
fore the first of November for twenty cents
per bus hel. Every other crop promises
equally well, and the farmers are in high
glee.- Cumberland Telegraph.

MURDER AT FORT McflENRy.- ne ex
animation into the alleged case OF murde

Mace Yesterday afternoon at the Cenlra
Police Station, has been postponed unl
ten o'clock this morning, and hearing
will then be had at the u. 5. DiSirIc
Courtroom before Commissioner Hanan
the United States authorities havlngLa'
ken the matter in hand.
From what we have been able TO ascer,
tain, it would appear that the death OF
This man, Louie LuuP, Swiss by birth
and seventeen years in the American army,
was neither more nor less than a cold
bIooded murder, perpetrated under attend
ing circumstances of barbarity that could
hardly be expected from other than Indian
savages. The soldiers at the fort most
positively deny that Loup was intoxicated
but for some alleged breach of rule dlscip-
line, he was strung up at the immediate
instance of sergeant named Morrill,, to
the flag staff. He was hoisted to this po-
stion by a single rope tied around each
arm, after having been most numerically
beaten by the sergeant. While hanging
in this position he called upon the SER
geant for Gods sake TO kill him" and
put him out of his misery; and 10 prevent
this noise, Morrill, took the halyard OF the
flag staff, doubled il up three times, and
then rappng part of blanket around it,
stuffed into Loup's mouth by way OF
gag.
This was at one o'clock on Wednesday
morning, and at haIf-past three o'clock he
was lowered down and found 10 be quite
dead. 1t is hardly TO be doubted that this
unfortunate man, who had served this
country through the arduous campaigns
Of Florida and Mexico, was chOked to-
death like a dog. Morrill, alleges that
ne only obeyed the orders of the officer OF
he day, Lit. Griffin his conduct to wards
he deceased. Of this Of course we know
nothing, but have only to say, that we
rope the examination to-day will expose
he true guilty parties in the case,and that
hey may be made to suffer every penalty

ess and cold bIooded a transaction. There
5 a common humanity that has been out
aged by this foul affair which should be
indicated.

Extra Session.

We fine the GLOWING able communication
in the Madison Courier, in relation to the
duty of the Governor to call an extra session
of the Legislature.
1t is assumed by some editors in the State
that, inasmuch az the Legislature failed to
State for the election of Senators and Rep
resentatives, therefore called session OF
that body could not remedy the evil.
This, | think, is clearly mistake. The
Legislature at its late session either could
not or wilfully did not, enact those laws and
carry out those measures which the constitu-
ton, the wants of the people, and their own
obligations imposed upon and demanded OF
them. Then, if the Governor, for the pur-
pose Of enabling that body to discharge its
duty and complete the legislation. which, il
may be said, was defeated in part because
the time limited by the constitution was too
short, should call an extra session, could that
extra session be construed into any thing
other than an adjourned session of the Leg.
islature! a continuation cs The session just
brought to a close! Il is composed of the
same members Of both Houses; the measures
left unfinished would be taken up in the or.
der of business where the adjournment lef,
them. Then why would it not be compe-
tent for that extra session to repair the error
of omission in the matter Of apportionr,snl
as well as other public measures! But should
this be,,decded impraticable, and the State
in consequence, be declared in a condition Of
revolution, the people will be compelled to
take the matter in their own ha nds, and
when they do so, they, will forget those "Olt
Liners" upon whose shoulders rests the nigh.
ty responsibility of thus distracting the civil
and political condition of the Commonwealth
These old liners voluntarily and with policy
afore.thought, with full knowledge of the
consequences, refused to do those things they
were bound 10 do by their obligations of Of

The Governor, too, will be equally censur
able if he does not speedily call session o

power to repair the evil. He is ever ready
to ask the functionaries Of the Republican
party to aid him in extending to old line IA

had fallen into his hands by they refusal of his
Old Line supporters in the Senate to dis.
charge their duty. But his Excellency ha.
found some stern stuff in Secretary Collins
as he will also find among the people in TIT
Republican party.
Will the Governor call the session, or will
he sustain the Reorganization of the last ses
sion!

The seed of this plant is very small-less

and of a pale green color, with white

FIVE to six feet high, with FIVE or six large
branches near the ground, and they, with
the main stalk, put out other branches, until
the stalks would make bunch as large round
as a tobacco hogshead, or near it. 1t grows
more like cotton than anything else know

little, all these branches, with those which
put out at every joint, bear from four to ten
pods in bunch, with about fifteen peas in
a pod, which, as an article of human food,
are superior to anything of the kind ever
ate.
