years, at this season, than now. True there are
districts in whiah particular crops have suffered
from the long winter aud backward spring but
these firm the exceptions to the general rule.

the farmers later than usual III getting in
their crops the ground is in such excellent con
diton TO receive it, and the weather is now
favorable, that the impression is, it will come
forward rapidly enough TO mako up for lost time.
The Cincinnati Price Current publishes II large
number Of letters from different points in Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois. relative to the grain pros
poets all of which, with only occasi onal exceptions
speak most encouragngly. The Chicago Jour
nal furnishes similar information from numerous
correspondents from points in the newer Yves
tern Statet. Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Mich
igan and oihers.-It closes its comments upon
the summary thus furnished, as foows:-'
Ave venture the prediction that the yield of
wheat Mt tho coming harvest in the West will be
more abundant than it ever has been at any pre-.
ordng harvest, and that the grain crops IN this
country Of every kind will be most ample. both
for home con sumption aud the foreign demand.
We almost daily hear reports indicative Of this
state of things, from various parts of this and
ncighboring States, since the season has fnrly
opened. The winter wheat in most localities
looks well. aud liberal extent Of soil is being
devoted to the spring suwn wheat The quaint
~ of corn that will be planted this season is nj
most incredible, and with anything like favorable
heaviest crop of corn will be gathered this year
that hns ever been harvested in this country.
We have examined opr exchanges from Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Indiana with much soliCi-
tude, and they are nearly all sanrnne of large
wheat crop--thr most important bread staple
-- In regard 10 Illinois, the Chicago Times says:
In this State the quantity of wheat that viii
be raised ON land, in cultivation last year. will he
fully great rs the last years crop, leaving the
new lands Ia add their first crop to the aggre
gate amount. In middle Illinois and further up
North II is trne that large quantities of winter
wheat have been destroyed, but the destruction
has not been general nor indeed half as eXten
sive rs has been represented. In many places
fields in which the wheat has been regarded as
killed havc put on their green coats. and are
hourishing II j. true the fields will not yield in
the proportion that they were expected TO have
done, stlI they will yield half crops. Others
which have escaped the FROST will yield greater
thun an average. In lower Illinois the wheat
will he all in head before lr-t of June, and the loss
eS will prove not only small in extent. but very
small in propoltio to the vast amount sown.
Spring wheat rarely, if ever. fails in Illinois,
and, though the winter wheat produced in the
| State may not exceed last years product. the
spring wheat will, in all probability, be nearly
double TINT raised in 1856 The actual cash
therefore, of tho Illinois wheat crop 1857
estimating at last years prices, and allowing for
the difference between winter and spring wheat,
will exceed that of the crop of ls56."
! To come nearer home give the following
| frem the Norrstown Register:
| Throughout the county the crops are also in q
very hourishiug condition. The present crop
will be rendy for harvesting in about a month, and
! in month more. some of it may be in the hands
ofthe merchants Notwithstanding the croaking
| the crop of the United States it is said, will be Il
! very good one this year. There Is large breadth
! of land sown with wheat. and even if part of it
| is winter killed and still more is damaged by the
! backward spring and other causes, there will
still be left yield above the average of past
years"
All this must be regarded highly cheering
and satisfactory, especially when gathered from
SO many quarters Let us hope that the expee-
tations embodied in the paragraphs we have quo.
ted, will be fully realized, and that the labor, of
| the husbandmen will be crowned with plenty
The prospect of scarcity would he terrible 10
such an immense population rs ours-whereas,
| one of abundance is we'll calculated to direct the
hearts of the millions within our States and Ter
ritores in acknowledgement aud gratitude to the
great Giver of all that is good.
