THE HARVEST.

The Summer is over, and we are now
able to give some tolerable estimate of
the Harvest for 1857. The growth Of
Grass throughout the dairy regions has
been luxuriant; Pasturage has boon
abundant throughout; a very large yield
of Hay las been securcd-not in the
best order-and a full supply of Fall
feed is beyond contingency. There
must be a full product of Butter ard
Cheese, though the number of Cows
was probably less last Spring than hith-
erto. Sheep also had somewhat fallen
off, so that the years product Of Wool
and Mutton, as we'll as Beef, can have
been but an average one. Rye was a
full crop. Wheat suffered from Winter
rains aud freezing out, and considerably
from the weeril or nudge, but a great
deal was sown, aud in many portions of
the Wost, especially in the newest set
Elements, the yield was abundant. Tho
Southern crop was uniformly good; and,
on the whole, we believe the surplus of
this years product will be unusually
large, though the Wheat culture seems
to be gradually running out in this and
other of the older States. Potatoes
have suffered considerably from rot, es-
pecially in this vicinity, where the last
rain and the succeeding heat have re-
neWed the ravages of the insidious dis
ease. However, we are SO used to the
rot that the yield of potatoes, though
small, may be equal to an average of the
last ten years.
The Cano is reported as doing very
we'll in Louisiana and Taxoss and promis-
ing a Sugar crop at least double that OF
last year. A double yield of Maple
s gar was obtained last Spring, and q
considerable amount of Syrup if not of
| Sugar, will be made from the Sorghum,
The Ashland union. [volume] (Ashland, Ashland County, Ohio) 1854-1868, 1857-09-09

though the season in this vicinity was
the least favorable for this plant of the
last forty years. We doubt that one
stock in ten now growing in this and the
Eastern States will fully ripen its seed.
But we shall have an abundance of sweets
this year, and the heavy Sugar specula-
tors may as well go into bankruptcy at
once. There is no help for them. Cot
ton promises q fair if not a large crop,
aud Tobacco is generally thrifty. The
export of our Southern staples of this
years production will be full, while our
imports of Sugar and Molassss will be
very light.
The prospect for Indian Concur
great National Staple from Maine to
Texas-remains to be considered. Next
to Grass, if not even before it, this is
our most important product, largely
Supplying food for man and beast, and
forming, in the shape of Beef, Pork, and
Whisky, the basis of a considerable ex-
port. In this section, Corn is quite
luxuriant, but very late, and in danger of
destruction but an early frost. We need
a full month of mainly dry, bright wealth
er, to carry the Corn beyond the reach
of danger. At prese t, it is green as
leeks, the ears scarcely fit to boil, and
the stalks barely done growing. A frost
as early as the goth inst. would destroy
half the crop. The earth is saturated
with water the days but moderately
warm, though clear and bright, with
cool, breezy nights. Few sections have
been deluged by raius throughout Spring
and Summer as this has; but even where
June and July were remarkably hot and
dry, there have generally been heavy
rains in August, which tend to postpone
the ripening of the crop. A smart frost
any time this month would do great
damage; before the 18th, it would be a
National disaster. Should this peril be
Providentiully averted, We may rejoice
over one of tho amplest harvests that
ever blessed the Country.--Nei0 York

Chase on his Colleagues.

lican Legislative examination committee
in his Cincinnati speech, last night:
"The examination, however was made
by the Committee, and also by the Au-
WIS there in the Treasury. But it was a
sham. It was there, as money is some
times found in the vaults of your bank

fly to some other bank and borrow funds
for present purposes. The examiner
sees that all is right. He r%etircs, when
