Crops and Crop Prospects Progress
Of the Harvest.


The Norfolk (Va) Herald notes a sale of
new wheat at 81 per bushel, and adds-Hary-
esting has commenced, aud we learn from
planters in different sections of Norfolk, Prin-
cess Anne, Nausemond and the adjoining
counties, that the yield and quality Of the
wheat is far beyond their expectations, not
withstanding the unfayorable predictions for
weeks past.
The Hagerstown (Md.9 Maa says:--it is
generally believed that the wheat crop Of this
county will be as large again as last year.
The red rust is upon a great deal ofthe wheat,
but it only effects the straw. Some few farm
ers have commenced cutting this week. The
hay crop is heavy and has been secrued.
The Parksville (Mo.) Democrat says that
rust has shown itself to a considerable extent in
the wheat, in some parts of that State; and
the Menard Eader says:-Our farmers report
that the prospects Of an abundant wheat crop
are good. The corn crop, though generally
backward, will probably come out better than
has been anticipated.
The Cleveland (Ohio) Leader says:--A
gentleman VINO came through from Cincinnati
says the whole route is the scene Of the most
animating industry. The week has wrought
wonders in the young corn, which is now
shooting up night and day, and robed in the
most healthy emerald. Should the good
weather so long prayed for continue, Ohio
will have corn aud TO spear next antumn.-
Grains and grass never better.
In Northern Indiana the crops look well.
The editor of the WeStville Herald SAYS;
We were out on the prairie the fore part of
this week, and were decidedly pleased with
the prospect OF the growing crops. The corn
is in a much better condition. tuau we anUlcipa-
ted to find it. If d couple Of weeks of far
dry weather conld be realized right along, we
could depend upon a large harvest OF Doth
corn and wheat. The Elkhart Watchalaa
states that the country looks fac, aud autici-
pates a large, thrifty crop. The South Bend
Register OF the I7th states that in that
county the corn land has all been planted
twice, and the corn is up and doing well con-
sidering the unusually wet weather.
The Kentucky papers speak in cheering
tones Of the prospect OF the crops in that State,
with the single exception of oats, which is.rep-
resented as very nearly a failure. Wheat,
corn and tobacco are all doing well.
A correspondent OF the Savannah (Ga.)
Republican, writing from Dougherty county
under date of 23d June says:-We had "a fine
shower yesterday evening and one the evening
before, which, with one or more good
showers, will secure to this section a bounti-
full supply of corn, which is GENERALLY a
pretty strong guarantee for a supply of
bacon; and those two great staples secured,
we are comparatively safe. Our prospect for
cotton is very fair, at least for an average
crop.

Oh that love, SO vainly given, which you sighted in

Senatorial "reminiscences.

es General Cameron's "pluek," and shows that
he cannot be insulted with impunity. The

of Congress, which was terminated by a re-
mark of the former, that he could take care
Of HIMSELF We have no recollection Of any
former display of this quality on the part of
the grand Pennsylvania but while casually
turning over the files Of our paper of March
6, l849, we found the following incidents
among the closing scenes of the Congress of
1848-'49:-
Both houses of Congress adjourned on Sun
day morning at seven O'Clock, after a pro
tracted and stormy session.
Pending the debate on the General Appri-
alton bill, Senator Foote, of Mississippi,
shook Lis fist in Senator Cameron's face,
whereupon the Senator from Pennsylvania
foored the Senator from Mississippi.
In the House, Mr.. Thompson, of Mississip-
pi, and Mr.. Ficklin of Illinois, had a rencon-
tire; Messrs Meade of Virginia, and Giddings,
of Ohio, had a similar difficulty.
So it will be seen that Mr.. Cameron, in
l849. knocked down a noted du~ellist. then
called " Hangman Foote," on account Of his
amiable wish that he could hang the fun liv-
ing Senator Hale on some Mississippi oak
and Foote, as appears, made no other demon
