UPPER STORIES OF THE PROFESSION

A young man is said to have inquired of Daniel
Webster whether there any room for him in
the legal profession. His answer was, that there
is for thousands in the upper stories of all the
professions. TO a casual Observer the professions
all seem to be full, they seem indeed, to be crow
ded to excess with young aspirants. The reason is
because We look only at the lower stories of the
professions the more exalted and intellectual por-
tons of them do not come under our notice
When man, therefore, tells that there is album
dance OF room tor lawyers preachers and doctors,
VIC are ready to pass it as hyperboe. We find it
hard to bring our minds to believe that single
individual can elbow his way through the hungry
crowd that throngs every professional business
within our acquaintance. Yet it is doubtless true
that the higher grades of mental culture exist no
where i'll too great confusion. Whether we make
our inquiries among the professions, the sciences
or the literature Of our country, we shall find a
paucity rather than surplus Of finished talent
Is there any danger of first class literary minds be-
ing jostled on occOunt Of want of room in the do
main OF literature! Is there any danger of scien-
t:fc acumen being soon at discount for want of
subjects of further investigation? Could not a
few more accomplished jurists and diplomats find
employment yet in the various departments Of gov
ernment? Could not physician of superior at
tainments find employment almost any where
without infringing on the rights of others in the
same business himself? Indeed there is no
employment known to civilized society, where the
occupants of the most talented and accomplished
circles would have any Occasisn to disturb one an
others cquanimity in consequence Of a closeness
Of contact.
The fact is, the best, the most talented the up
per stories of all the employments not overrun
There is room enough fer all the young people now
in our schools The world is asking for "A lofty
but practical talent, for noble, gcnerous-hcarted
patriotism, and for resolutc, unfinching erdow-
ments Those possessing these qualities cannot
fail to find ample opportunities for ibors both use

THE CROPS.

FIRGINIA.-Through the State there will be
less than an average wheat crop; grass very album
dant. Tobacco promising.
In KENTUCKY-The Louisville Journal July
Is, remarks: The wheat in the State has turned
out worse than anticipated, but in the North
States it will be nearly average, while in the
extreme South the yield will be larger than ever.
Oats almost total failure in all the Southern
States. The prospects for corn and tobacco are
very fine, and also for cotton"
In LOUISIANA in many of the counties they say
that the products are chiefly cotton and sugar
The prospects are favorable unless the present
rain continues, which will seriously injure the cot
ton.
COTTON CROP IN EASTERN TEXAS The Ma
cogdoches Chronicle, of the 22d ult., says:
Cotton looks very we'll in this section, although
there is a general complaint of too much rain The
crop is in good condition, however, and with good
season hcnceforward, there will be fine yield.
Destruction Of Young Corr. Iy ND Efgcons -
The wild pigeons in Marion County, Ohio, are be-
coming terribly dest uctive, literally sweeping the
late planted fields clean pulling up the stalks
and dcvouring every grain. One man lost sixteen
acres, another ten and on. They cannot be
driven away Tor when fired at they only rise to
alight again in few rods. Hundreds and thou
sands of them have been slaughtered within a few
days by the citizens, but the numbers do not seem
to diminish in the least

TINE NEWS FROM UTAH.

Letters have been received at the War Depart
nlent from Gen Johnston and the Peace Commits
sioncrs confirming the pacific news from Utah
which We have heretofore given. The Commits
soners Messrs Powell and NcCuoch, write from
Salt Lake CITY to Gen Johnston, under date of
June 18th, as follows:
1--WE have the pleasure of informing you that,
after full and free conference with the chief men
Of the territory. are informed by them that they
viii Weld obedience to the Constitution and laws
of the United States; that they will not resist the
execution of tho laws in the territory of Utah; that
they cheerfully consent that the civil officers of
the territory shall enter upon the discharge of their
respective duties; and that they will make no re-
sstance to the army of the United States in its
march to the valley of Salt Lake or elsewhere.
We have their assurance that no resistance will be
made to the officers, civil military, of the United
States in the exercise of their various functions in
the territory of Utah"
In consequence Of the Mormons expressing a
fear that their persons and property would not be
respected by the army on its arrival at Salt Lake
City, Gen. Johnston issued the following procla-
nation
To tie People Of Ltah:-The Commissioners of
the United States deputed by the President to
urge upon the people of this territory the neces-
enjoined by his proclamation have this day inform
ed me that there will be obstruction to the adj
ninistration and execution Of the laws of the Fed
era Coz eminent, any opposition on the part of
the people of this territory to the military force OF
the Government in the execution of their order:
| therefore feel it incumbent me, and have
great satisfaction in doing So to assure those clt
zens of the territory who, | learn, apprehend i'll
treatment from the army, that no person whatever
will be in any wise interfered with or moested in
his person rights, OF in the peaceful pursuit Of
his avocations; and, should protection be needed
that they will find the army always faithful to the
obligations of duty ready now to assist and
protect them it was to oppose them while it
believed they were resisting the laws Of their
Government.
On June 18th the army took up its march for
Salt Lake City.
