The report Of the murder Of Gov. Stevens,
Of Washington Territory, and his party, by the
Blackfeet Indians, is not credited by his friends
in Boston, the Post of which says:
"The Blackfeets are upon this side of the
Rocky Mountains, and the rumor must have
travelled nine hundred miles, through mum.
Der Of Indian tribes. Gov Stevens was re.
ceived very Hospitality by this tribe, and passed
through their midst when upon his railroad
survey. Besides, the Government have sent q
large quantity of goods for presents for these
Indians at the council which was to be held.
These goods were sent several months since up
the Missouri and probably reached the council
ground before Gov. Stevens and his party.
The last adyices from Gov. Stevens are Of July
is, and he was then two hundred and fifty
miles from Fort Benton, where the council was
to be held"

The ensuing harvest has probably been
anticipated with more anxiety and solicitude
BY every body, than any one which has pre-
coded it for years. There has never been
period in the history of Indiana, when its
interests, its prosperity and its credit. could
be so vitality affected as the present season
by good or poor crops. The only inconveni-
ence felt thus far, has been that the industrial
energies of the State nave been somewhat
palsied, and its noted progressiveness greatly
relaxed. AS agriculture constitutes the
bone and sinew, andi is the essential basis of
all our prosperity, it follows that any unto
ward circumstance which effects that great
interest dsastrously, tends to enervate and
in greater or less degree to retard our
growth and progress. We have the satisfac-
tion to know at the present writing, that no
bad failure in the crops can ensue this sea-
son, and the prospect is, that the harvest of
small grains will far exceed in abundance
that of any previous year. The wheat crop
is for the most part made, and with good
weather for the balance of the present month,
the largest crop by at least so per cent will
be secured both in Indiana and Illinois The
oats, barley and hay crops, can by no posi-
bility suffer much from this time to harvest,
and at present the prospects are decidedly
promising. The area sown is also large.
The only product about which doubts can
linger, is our great staple, CORN. The sea-
son is yet backward, and corn is coming for
ward slowly. The greatest danger to that
crop is, that it will not come sufficiently for
ward to resist sharp midsummer drought,
should one occur. But we cannot contem-
plate failure in even this crop. The area
planted is immense, and should but one-half
the crop mature, the aggregate must come
nearly up to the yield of any previous year.
The potato crop is also excellent, and in
this particular region, there has been an I'M
usual amount of seed planted, notwithstand-
ing the high prices which have ruled for that
article.
On the whole, the prospects for an unpre-
cedented yield of wealth from "mother earth'
were never more fattering.
The value and Importance of such an
event, will be incalculabe in it's salutary eff
fects upon the dropping energies of our trade
and commerce, as we'll as upon the credit
and public improvements of the State.

PRESCRIPTION OF SAM.-Five thousand
dollars have been raised in Richmond, Vir-
ginia, to be distributed among such employ
ees of the government at Portsmouth as may
be discharged by this administration on ac-
count of their American principles. The
American Organ says:
Tens of thousands will be raised to re-
imburse them heir losses if necessary. The
American spirit is aroused.
The Richmond Wing of the 23d says:
Three or four of the workmen discharged
at Portsmouth are now in Richmond. They
state that sixty -four workmen were discharg-
ed on Saturday night, because they intend
ed to vote for the American ticket.
A like piece oftyranny has been practiced
in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where, twelve
days since, twenty-six Americans were dis
missed.

ALL1GAToRs.-We were shown on Satur-
day, by G. w. Bisbie, OF New Orleans, pas
senger on the Susquehanna, four fine speci-
mems of the Alligator species, varying in
size from fourteen inches to l04 feet in
length, and from two years TO an indefinite
age. They were caught by the Creoles of
Louisiana, in the marshes of the Northern
section of the State, by sort of lassoing
process, after the water had receded and left
them comparatively helpless. Mr.. B. is
bound for Canada and the Eastern States,
where his specimens of the vulgar fshy tribe
will be great curiosity. The most remar-
kable circumstance in the history of the AL
ligator is, that they are never known to die
except by violence. He informs US that
they are fast decreasing in numbers, as the
country becomes settled where they propa-
gate. They subsist chiefly upon fish and
hogs, which come down to the beach to wal

OrT In Cincinnati, Wednesday, about II
O'Clock, two young men named George F.
Harrison, and w. K Greenfield, whose pa
rents reside on Freeman, above Catherine
street, went to the river, near the foot OF
Fifth street, and borrowed skiff to take
sail short distance down and back. When
they got into the skiff,a small boy, whose
name is not known, requested permission to
60 with them, and with their consent jumped
into the skif,. When the party arrived just
below the bend, gust of wind struck the
sail, and the skiff upset. Young Harrison
and the boy were drowned, but young Green
field, by clinging TO one of the oars, with
much difficulty, succeeded in gaining the Ken
lucky shore.

~ little girl, six years of age, daugh-

the 29th ult., from inhaling the vapor of
chloroform, a vial of which had been left
within her reach. She was found smelling
it, and it was taken away from her, but she
had spilled some of it upon the bed-clothes,
and falling with her face upon it, she was
soon after found dead. The Pawtucket Ga
zette says another similar case has since &C.

0TDr. Geo. B. Walker, one of the Dele
gates appointed by the canal meeting held
here last week to visit the Governor on the
subject of the late riots up the Canal, re-
turned last evening. Judge Battell did not
get home. DR.. w. has handed US Procla-
which he states the causes of comp liant
against the rioters, &c. and calls upon citi-
zens to assist in preserving the peace, and
says the Executive Department is deter
mined, if necessary, to bring out the whole
military force of the State, if to quel this
instruction.

pleased that a public meeting had been held

COL Nees to Clay county with military
force of forty men, and a requisition for ten
more at Terre Haute. This force proceeded
to the ground last Friday, conveying letter
to the sheriff of Clay county, who is directed
70 cooperate with Gen. Dodd. Gov. Wright
also sent q letter to Mr.. Gavitt, sheriff o

The Issue in Kentuckx.

The Democratic papers in Kentucky af-
feet to be in ecstacies over the apparent sue
cess that Beverly l.. Clark is meeting with
in his canvass for Governor. They repeat
eddy speak of the fine impression he makes
where he speaks, and how admirably he sue
ceeded in convincing the people that Know
Nothingism was nothing but a Yankee trick
This is the only issue the Democracy have
left-at least they fight all their battles upon
it. We expect they will find that the yeo-
many of Kentucky, understand this matter
even as we'll as Mr.. Clark him self, and al
though he may be able to make some tender.
footed converts, he will find that the great
mass of the people of his State, need not be
told what they profess, and if they are in err
ror, they do not like to be called thieves and
robbers and midnight assasslns as prelude
to good advice.
Mr.. Clark will have to succeed much bet
ter elsewhere, than he did in the Second
congressional district, where he occasional
ly met Hon. ]. P. Campbell on the stump
if he convinces anybody that he is on tht
high road to the gubernatorial chair. From
indications which are unmistakeable, Mr.
Clark has lost thousands of votes in that dis
trict by the course he has pursued.
