The Crops in tie South,

The wheat harvest in Georgia and
alabama is over, and the papers say,
both as to quantity and quality, it is
the best cycr had in those States
Oats, rye and barley are all equally good.
Corn looks promising. New wheat is
selling at 81 per bushcl.
In North Carolina and Virginia the
wheat is now being harvested, and is al
so represented as being good. New
wheat brings $3.50 at Fredericksburg,
Va.
In some portions of Maryland, parti-
cularly on the Eastern Shore, the army
worm has been very destructive to the
wheat, grass and corn crops. II the
western section of the State the wheat
is said to be very fine.

Where is the Reports why has
1t been suppressed by The Gov
RERnnI,

The impression was general for a
while, that the examination Of the Urea
sury which Kelley's law of April 8,
1856, requires to be made between the
first of September and the first of No
vember annually, had been neglected,
and that the Governor had omitted to
require it to be done. Indeed, this
omission was publicly admitted and JUS
titled by Mr. Denison (the Governors
special examiner) in his speech before
the Defalcation meeting held in Column
bus on the evening of the 18th of June.
The same admission was made by the
Sttte, Journal of the Goth; but in its
issue of the 22d, it tucked about, and has
since asserted on the alleged authority
of the Auditor, that tue examination
was not neglected, but had actually
been made. Here is the Journals Ian
guage: sr
cat the time specified in the act for
making the examination, the Governor
advised the Auditor of his readiness to
appoint a suitable person to aid him in
making an examination of the money
and books ofthe department., as required
by law"
Now, the above is true or it is false.
If true, where is the Auditors report
showing the condition of the Treasury
as he found it, on personal examination ?
Here is the sixteenth section of the law
of April 8, 1856, requiring the Treasury
examination to be mad3:
CSC. 10. All the material facts as
certained by examinations prescribed by
this act, shall be practicable, be commu-
nicated to the Governor who shall lay
the same before the Governor Assembly
at the commencement of its next ensu-
ing session."
The requirements of the above sec
ton are clear, plain and imperative.
Where is the Auditors report to the
Governor? If it was not made, whose
business was to inquire into the neglect?
On the other hand, if there was no neg
lect in making the report, why has it
been suppressed? Why was it not, sent
to the Legislature? Why has it been
withheld from the public ?-Ne,corA'

The DefaIcation Case.

Although we make frequent inquiries,
we can learn little to interest the public,
in the progress of the Investigation,
which necessarily is slow and compli-
Gated. Nor do our other engagements
permit us to devote much time in list
ening to street gossip, or the specula-
ton of the quid We find the
correspondent (John d. &C." of the
Cincinnati Gazette, pretty we'll posted in
what is going on, Ono doubt having ear
to the "power that be,") and we avail
ourselves of his letter written from this
place yesterday, which may contain some
particulars interesting to the. general
reader.
1t will be seen that Gibson's inaccu-
racy of memory and keeping accounts
of transactions is again exhibited. He
and Mr.. Young, of the Piqua Bank do
not agree. This will throw another
discrcditabLe doubt upon the accuracy
of his promised statement, which is still
Forthcoming.
The items respecting the plates of the
Seneca Bank and amount of notes, with
the effort to obtain posse sen of the
plate, under a plea similar to the one
set up for the transfer of the bonds to
New York, are refreshing.
We are not prone to judge harshly,
but every Indication warrants the utter
unreliability Of Gibson, and that his

Wheat in Europe,

The London Star of the 10Th ult.,
has some interesting speculations on the
subject of the price of Wheat in Europe,
saying:
The weather is magnificent. The
crops of wheat and other grain are re-
only in the British isles, but over the
whole of Europe. Yet wheat rises in
value at all the principal English mar
kets, and, with every prospect of an al
most universally abundant harvest, pri-
ces range from sixty to- seventy shill-
ings per quarter.
The factis that Europe, N otwhhstand-
ing the immense supplies she has drawn
from America, which have b~eeHssince
last harvest, in the proportion of seven
to four, compared with. the same period
in the previous year, is almost exhaust
cd of stock. America herself has little
now to spare for the marts of Europe.
The very moderate shipments that are
making in the southern ports of Russia
are intercepted at Marseilles. Spain
and Portugal and elsewhere, which usu-
ally have corn to spare for us, are their
competitors in the American and Euro
pcan markets; and at the Russian and
Prussian ports in the Baltic, whence
only there is any chance of our deriv-
ing supplies for the next two or. three
months, the value of wheat is too high
30 leave az margin sufficient to- induce
the importer to risk the fall which. as
we have said, appears to be inevitable
when the crops,-now~ approaching to ma
turity, are secured.
Thus, with the most cheering pros
poets for the future, we shall probably
see present prices maintained, and pos
sibly forced even higher, not by the su-
icidal cupidity of holders, but by the
actual scarcity of wheat all over the
world. The circumstance would be suf-
iciently alarming did we not know that,
within six weeks harvest in this coun-
try will have commenced, while in Spain,
Portugal and the South of France the
rcapcrs will be busy at work within three
weeks from the present time. Impos-
slble as it is, with such an exhaustion
o stocks as we have shown to exist, that
wieat-can be as cheap as we have some-
t mes seen it, there is every reason to
eIpect that it will fall to fifty five or
even fifty shillings per quarter in the
c)urse of the autumn.

HoHocay's Pt2s-Ch Chronic Dyspepsia
Curcd.-Among the triumphs of this
wonderful medicine over confirmed dis
cases Of the stomach and cpiSastrium,
the following is not the least remark
able: Edward Stillman. aged 81, re
siding at Iagcr&town, Md, had been
for eleven years a sufferer from indi-
gestion and its painful concomitants.
His appetite was irregular, his frame
emaciated, his skin Of Il livid, unhealthy
hue, and he had Il constant feeling Of
construction at the pit Of the stomach,
as if a cord were being drawn tightly
around it. lie was continually lii a
state of great mental rs well as bodily
distress, and, to use his own expression:
= life had become irksome to him." In
the month of December last he COM
mcnccd taking Holloway's Pills. With
in three weeks thereafter all the above
had vanished. No relapse
has since occurred, and he is now as
robust as any man Of his years in
all Maryland. For disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels, the Pills arc
the only reliable remedy IN existence.

The Evils OF Speculation.

Capitalists are running wild in spec
u~lations; and many of them engage in
anything that promises profit. The
most censurable spectators are thosc
who coin money out of the food Of the
people, by controlling the markets on
particular articles through a specializing
monopoly. The rise in beef, sugar and
frequently grain, to unreasonable and
injurious prices, is very often to be at
tributcd to these spectators. They buy
up an enough to control the market,
and then fix their own prices. Commu-
mites i'll which such spectators operate
should always organize against them,
and by a concert of action, defeat their
money-getting schemes. We are glad
to see that this is now being done in
some of the cities in the article of beef;
and we would be glad to sec it followed
wherever the operations of such custo-
mers make it Necessary to do so in self
defence.

supcrstitious Belief in Destiny
Ill MIssIoN'oF THE PHILANrHRorrsT.

Napoleon the Nephew, like Napoleon
the Uncle, believes that he has a great
mission to fulfil and that his life is in
no peril until it is accomplished, But
of how little Importance to the world is
the mission of an Emperor, when COM
pared with that ola philanthropist like
Holloway. He indeed without improp-
riety perhaps, might be supposed to be
under the protection OF a special provi-
dencc, for his mission is to revive the
sick, to soothe bodily anguish, to save
human life; these are the deeds of beni-
iiccncc and love and mercy. From all
quarters we hear of the most astounding
cures accomplished by his fncstimable
Pills and Ointment. To she former of
these remedies all diseases of the skin,
the muscles, and the glands, seem to
yield like morning mists before the sun.
The Pills put to the rout indigestion
liver complaint, and disorders. of the
bowels with equal certainty. Our "na-
tlonal disease" dyspepsia, is in peril of
humiliation, and we have seen enougli
to feel assured that whenever Holloway's
Pills are universally administered for
this distressing complaint, inevitably be
-'eXpeiled from society" Every day
confirms the opinion We have heretofore
expressed, that Holloway medicines arc
the only preparations in existence that
operate directly upon the sources of
disease, and we should be willing, in
case of sickness, to throw away the
pharmacopeia, forbid the doctor our
presence, and trust to them anl HEN

Destructive Fire.

We are compelled this week to record
a very destructive fire which occurred
an Twin Township, this county, on last
Monday night, between 8 and 10 o'clock,
entirely destroying the Steam Distillery
and FIGURING Mill, belonging to Mr..
JOHN CHAMBER, and the Twin Greek
Bridge, on the Dayton and Western
Turnpike. The loss Of Mr.. CHAMBER
it is supposed will reach $4,000, not n
dollar of which was insured. That of
the Turnpike Company will be between
$4,000 and 1000, as they had just fin
ished repairing! the Bridge at an expense
of Several hundred. dollars. The fire
originated from the c-arelessncss of one
of the hands employed in the Distillery,
who went into the establishment with a
lighted candle to draw some liquor, and
while in the act of doing so knocked the
lighted candle into the cooling-tub, fill
ed with the fluid, which ignited and
coming in contact with other combus-
tibfe matter, in almost a moment cnvcl-
oped in flames the entire apartment,
burning the man 50 severely that it was
supposed he would not survive until
morning. Efforts to safe the building
or any Of its contents, were entirely use
less, and the Proprietor was obliged to
calmly look IN the sweeping away in
an hour, of all he possessed, and that
which had caused him years of hard toll
and pecuhiary embarrassment to gather
