The CRoPs.-In Maryland, the crops of grain
and fruit have improved astonishingly since the
recent rains, and abundant harvest is promised.
The Constitatjonalist, at Augusta, Ga. saw on
the Both of May some samples Of new white
wheat, raised in the neghborhood of that city,
which looked exceedingly fine, although not dry
enough for the mill The yield of wheat on the
farms near Augusta, says the Constitstionalist
is very promising, and in few days cutting will
be over and threshing will commence. The wheat
crop of Georgia and Tennessee and the whole
country, has never presented a more fatterng
appearance for an abundant yield. Gaveslton
papers of the 23d ult say that in the interior, the
accounts of the prospects Of the growing crops
are not unfavorabe. Though much later than
usual, both corn and cotton in Texas are now
quite as forward and fourishing as in any other
State in the Union.

Not long since, the invention of a
mode of propelling carriages on common
roads by steam, and a steam plough, was
briefly noticed in the columns of the Gin
cinnati Commercial. That notice tell in to the
hands of capitalists, who, having invests

success of the new machines, that they con-
tracted for some and paid several thousand
dollars in advance to aid in having the work
done. This money placed the poor inventor

For the Supreme Court Of the United States.
WRITTEN SOME YEARS AGO BY DR.. WATTS.
Judges, WHO rule the worli by laws,
Will We diSpse the righteous cause!
When he oppressed before you stand,
Dare you condemn the righteous poor,
And let rich sinners go secure,
While gold and greatness bribe your handsl
Have you forgot, or never knew,
That God viii judge the judges too?
high in the heavens His justice reigns,
Yet you invade the rights Of God,
And send your bold DEGREES abroad,
To bind the nscienc in your oh sins!
TIL Almighty thunders from the sky
Their grandeur melts their titles die
They perish like disabling frost;
As empty chat, when whirlwinGs rise,
Before the sweeping tempest flies,
So shall their hopes and names be lost.

The contribution of 100000, in Mississip-
pi, to buy a plantation for x-President
Pierce, is pronounced by the papers of that
State to be humbug. We suspected as
much, when the story first circulated. Who
ever heard of the voluntary contribution, on
the part of the Southern shareholders, of
$4,000, tor any purpose whatever? AS to
their obligations to ex-President Pierce, the
Mississppians would no more hesitate at repu-
dating them than they did the payment Of
the seven millions more or less which they
borrowed in London, spent in buying slaves,
and then coolly told the lenders to whistle
for. So far from getting ninety six thousand
dollars by way Of acknowledgment from his
Southern friends, we doubt if they would
contribute ninety six cents to save him from
Jail But as the ex-President is to set up a
stock farm, likely enough they may present
him with trained dog or two to help hunt
up the stray cattle. Such present would
have all the significance Of the other, and is
more within the generosity, if not the means,
of the Mississippi planters.--New York Tn
