MITcHELIs New NATIONAL MAps.-Mr.
VIM. j. Murphy the agent for this excellent
map is now, we understand, canyassing this
county. We recommend the map to all our
readers as one oiyery great value. 1t is very
large; printed on a metallic plate which
makes it very distinct and being the latest
map of the United States and the portions
comprchending the new territories made out
from Government Surveys it is the most col :
rect and satisfactory ofany existing map. The
Congressional Committees, Heads of DEPART
mcnts and Bureaus ct Washington, all have
procured them as the most correct and sat
lsfactory cXtant.
Among the Communications of this map,

Some sharp and melcidebating occurred on
the question of. .Softs" and ''IIards" portion
Of which we take from the Baltimore Sun s
Report, as follows AIR. Virgins, of Maine
denounced the abolitionism of the SoitS.
Their praise Of the present administration was
no proof they were not abolitonists, for Mr..
Pierce had been M favorable to the abolition
lists i'll some of his acts as TO the South i'll 9th.
crS.
Mr.. George, Of New Hampshire, would not
stand by and here the nioriou ood-!iae ID
miuiStrdiion Of Mr. Pierce abused in that com
mittce.
Mr.. Virgins would not be brow-bcaten-
he would stand in the Convention ready to
dcnouncc Mr. Pierce, and prove that in his
appointments he had rndcavorcd TO nouriSh
abolitoniSm. 1t was not fair to admit the
DELEGATES on the basis Of a vote gained on a
!rcc-SoI platform. lie went for the admission
of the lIards.
Mr. Whitney, OF Massachusetts, thought
that no mode was equitable but an admission
on the basis of the popular vote.
Mr.. Tliord, Of Indiana was willing to take
the responsibility Of letting in the "Hards, :"
for he looked OIL the ''Softs" as rotten alb
oltionists at heart. He had heard John Van
Buren declare in the streets Of this city that
the admin sratlon of Polk was as corrupt as
Ill., He was willing then to vote for the ad
mission Of the "lla,dS," but would make
concession and admit half of each del, CATION
Further concession he never would make, so
help him God"
Other matters perta lining to this Conven-
ton VIII come in for future remark. In the
mean time note some Of the side scenes as
per the following dispatches:

The CROPS IN MARYLAND. Our Maryland
exchanges, we regret to see. nearly all speak
Of the appearance ofthe fly in the wheat. The
Annapolis Republican says:
I'VE regret to learn that the fly has made
its appearance and is destroying the wheat
crop in some parts of our county, particular
ly ON the north side of Sevcrn.'
The Easton Gazette also says
1--WE hear complaint from farmers in all
parts of the county Of the destruction of the
growing wheat by fly. Fields that three
weeks since bid fair to give a good yield
have been almost destroyed, and wheat that
is far advanced alone escapes the havoc"
The Denton Journal has the following:
I'VE have heard a number of complaints
by farmers during the past week that their
Wheat has bcen very materially injured by
the fly. Generally, the wheat fields in the
county present a very hattering appearance. A."
