RESOLUTIONS.

Res0lUed, That this committee cannot refrain
from giving utterance to its deep grief at the sud
den and unlocked for death of General JOHN G.
CHAPMAN, late President of this Society.
Resolred, That this Society in general meeting
assembled, has learned the sad news that our late
Presidents apparently in the full vigor of health,
was SO suddenly called away from the bosom of his
family and the sphere ofhis usefulness.
Resolued That this Society deplores his death, as
one eminently useful in directing it's management
and proceedings; bland, active, discerning and i'm
partial as its chief officer; experienced agri-
culturist; gentleman in all his intercourse with
his fellow-man; one who has filled with credit to
his State stations of the highest order in both
branches of its Legislature, and given equal salts
faction in the House of Representatives. of nation
al councils, rejecting high honors upon himself,
guarding to his best Judgment the interest of his
Constituents, and rejecting back the noble charac-
ter of his native State for devotion to the Union, it's
intelligence and patriotism.
Res0Ived, That it is with the most heartfelt sor-
row that have been called upon even at this late
period, to mingle unfeigned feelings of grief
for his demise with the poignant suferings of his
heart broken family, for in his death wife and
children feel more deeply his loss than we can do;
friends and relatives join in sincere coincidence
at their melancholy bereavement.
Res0lcea, That the aforegoing resolutions be en-
tered the journal of the Society, to be signed by
the President atttstted by the Secretary, and pub
lished in the Port Tobacco Times, and copy there
of be sent to the family of the deceased.

He1FThe New York Journal Of Commerce has
an article to show that the people under the
British government are much more anxious to
see Cuba and Mexico annexed to the United
States than are the citizens of this country =
Not only does the London Times advocate tKean-
nexation of Cuba by the United States, and de-
monstrate the advantages that would result from
such change, but the London Morning Herald,
the reputed organ of the Derby Cabinet, and
the mouth piece of conservatism in England, as
openly advocates the acquisition by the United
States of a portion of Mexico, and the establish
ment of the protectorate proposed by General
Houston, over the Mexican Republic, in such
form and to such an extent as should be neces-
sary to secure to the Union good neighborhood,
and to the people Of Mexico the benefit of or

ToBAcco.-It is too soon yet to form an accurate
idea of the growing crop of Maryland Tobacco but
from what we gather from the best informed per-
sons, there is every reason to expect that aver
age crop, or nearly SO, may be made. In some
places the worm has made considerable devastation,
and in others some injury has been sustained from
the want of rain but on the whole the prospect is
good one. In Ohio, there will be considerable
falling off, both in quantity and quality. The
most hattering accounts name the probable extent
Of the growing crop at Il, 900 hhds. while other
Inmates fall far below this amount. During the
week the demand for Maryland Tobacco was mod
crate, but as shippers required large concession,
sales to limited extent made at 25 to so cts.
below last weeks prices-the decline being mainly
in common and inferior qualities, although better
kinds affected to less extent. We quote
inferior to good Maryland crop at $s3.75a $3.50,
and superior quality do. at $sSa $105O. The bu-
siness in Bay Tobacco this week had been very
light owing to limited receipts. We continue to
quote Tips, $4.5Oa $3.50; seconds, $5.5Oa 81 );
spangled. STA $l2, and fine yellow, $12a$ 81
In Ohio Tobacco there has been very little DONE
The lower qualities of Kentucky Tobacco are quite
neglected. Fine Leaf would probably sell if in
market
The inspections for the week are 2,O15 hhds
Maryland ,55s hhds Ohio, and 80 hhds. Kentucky
total 2,605 hhds.

AN ABoLITIoNIsT CAPTURED IN KENTUCKY
Terrible Pu,aisAment.-A fellow named Howard
alias Harrison, ran off a few days ago from
Bowling Green, KY, with negro man and two
negro women, belonging to citizens of that place.
They were overtaken while going down the riF-
er in skiff and brought back. The affair Gre
ated immense excitement, and Howard madesa
narrow escape from being hung by mob. He
had also in his possession tools and dies for
counterfeiting. On the several charges bail was
REQUIRED Of him in $4,000 and failing to give
it, was committed. The Bowling Green Ga
zette says he els manacieda With rough; heavy
handouts, placed tight around each wrist be-
tween the wrist-bone and hand; and ironed
down to the floor by each ankle with tremen-
dous irons; so that he is compelled to lie still
upon his back in the dark and dreary dungeon,
without the use of either his hands or feet. He
cannot survive more than three or four weeks,
and we understand the jailor says if not relev-
ed from the heany irons with which be is load
ed he cannot live more than two weeks"

A SUGGESTION gentleman who has had
considerable experience in threshing grain, and
who is also close observer, informs us, that
the threshing machines now in use are utterly
unfit to thrash clearly the present crop. He
says, that considerable portion Of the wheat,
from the smallness or irregularity Of the grain,
remains unthrashed and is thrown away with
the straw, and he recommends that farmers
should recur to the old mode of trampling out
the grain the present year-St. HARRIS Beacon.

SoRA.-The Petersburg Democrat, informs
its readers that this delicious bird has already
made it's appearance in the marshes, on the
river, in the vicinity Of the "Brick House" in
small numbers-very small numbers. From
the early period at which they have commenced
focking in, the Democrat is led to suspect, that
the season for sora shooting will be as prolific
of game as the lover of the sport could desire.
We mentioned few days since, that sora
had made their appearance in this neighbor-
hood.-Aler0ndaiG Gazette

| The GRAIN CROP OF 1858.-The Prairie
Farmer gives the following estimate of the grain
crop in the northwestern States:
f After careful examination of the whole sub
lject we have come to this conclusion: that OF
the wheat crop of 1858 Illinois will not export
more than six million bushels-perhaps far less;
that Iowa will export less than one million
shels-perhaps less than half a million; that
Wisconsin will export not more than three-ffths
as much as of the crop of 1857; that Indiana
will export in about the same proportion as
Wisconsin; and that there will be a falling off
in Ohio of at least three millions of bushels
Bear in mind we offer these as very high esti-
mates A continuance of bad weather may re-
duce the amount for export to almost nothing.
At present the quantity is wasting at the rate
Of many thousand bushels per day. How much
old wheat there is yetin the country we do not
know, but the quantity is certainly less than
papers estimate it. The corn crop
will somewhat affect the price of wheat, but
there is no possibility Of its being an average
yield per inhabitant in Illinois or Iowa.

reports from all quarters, north, south, east and

something splendid and prodigious. We do not
hear of failure in the wheat crop in any direc-
ton. Already the sickle is at work in many
districts, and with few weeks of fine weather
the stackyards will be- filed with an amount OF
golden grain such as they have seldom held, and
the land blessed with plentiful supply of home
growth rarely seen and rarely surpassed"
