THE CROPS IN MARYLANp.-Our
Maryland exchanges are unanimous in
their complaints Of poor crops. The
wheat and oats crops, already gathered,
they say, ARE below the average product,
whilst the drought has completely de-
stroyed all hopes Of the corn. The
tobacco crop on the Eastern Shore is
also said to, be a failure. At least
one. half of this crop consists of small
underling plants, whsh can never got
to the house, land the remaining portion,
according to the Planters Advocate, is
siekly and spindling for the want Of
rain. AS the cap sheaf of complaint,
the Cumberland Telegraph says the
buckwhcat crop is likely short hy
frost; and that the pastures are literally
burnt up Wheeling Times. ..s

The Gonzalez Inquirsr Of tho 7th
says. ll
During the past week VIC have had
an opportunity Of conyersing with ma
ny Of our farmers from. Different por-
tions Of tho county relative to the
crops, and, as far as NO can learn, the
yield Of the lato corn will not be as
much by one-half as was anticipated
four weeks ago. At that time the pros
poets for full crop were indeed quite
tiattering; but the excessive heat Of the
weather which followed, added to the
fact that but little or no rain has fall
len, caused the corn to "fre' consid.
erably, and cut the yield short as sta.
ted above. We are assured, however,
that this, added to the corn which we
saved from the grasshoppers, will sup.
ply the county abundantly. ta .
The cotton crop, as far as we can
hear, is suffering considerably for rain,
and shedding good deal. A good
crop is still anticipated, however. .rr
The Galveston Civilian Of the 18th
has the following in reference to n
threatened invasion of the northern
frontier by the Camanches:
"A. c. Love, who is reputed a gen.
tleman Of the very highest rcspecta-
bility, and whose statements are enti.
tied to the fullest credit, writes to the
Dallas Herald that grand Camanche
Council was in session a short time
since, above the Great Salt Plains on
the Arkansas; that Paha-u-ka was
making powerful effort to combine
all the Camanches against Texas; tina,
seven tribes had met about three weeks
ago. Osagcs and Kioways had been
invited to take part with them and
share the spoils equally, all of which
was to avenge themselves for their de.
feat by Capt. Ford. They will no,
bring their families near the frontier.

people Some of the Southern members OBJ
posed the Presidents message in relation to
WALKERS capture. And thus the matter
stands at present. The indications are, how
ever, that general reconciliation will take
place when thorc is necessity for it, with the
exception of DoUGLAS. That is impossible if
the South is true to herself

The Acts.

On our first page can be found such sections
of the general incorporation act, passed by
the Legislature as relates to Walhalla, Pen
dlcton, and to this place; together with the
law, now of force, for the relief of prosecu-
tors and witnesses in cases not capital" An
act authorizes the issue of bonds to the amount
of 100000, bearing interest at the rate of 6
per cent per annum, for the purpose of car
rying on the work on the new State House
These bonds are rcdecmablc thirty years
hencc, we believe. An act to incorporate the
church at this place will be found in our col
umns. The Homestead law" which met
with so much opposition, has been repealed.
