ES- The Philadelphia Bulletin says that an
accident has raised to the memory of Franklin
an appropriate monument. The grave of
the American Philosopher, all who have tried
to reach it know, is in a Philadelphia grave
yard, which is surrounded by wall, the
gates through which are kept locked. The
Bulletin thus mentions the location of the
grave, and thus describes the monument:
1t is pretty generally known that DR..
Franklin and his wife rest in a tomb close to
the Arch street wall of Christ Church grave
yard. very short distance below Fifth street.
Just over this spot the wires of one of the
telegraph lines run, and those who will follow
these wires will come upon the philosophers

From the Delta.

There was considerable excitement and iol-
LITIGATION among the people in the vicinity
upon awakng this morning and finding the
ramparts bare of sentinelS and the cannon
pointing in towards the doors of the Arsenal
The Street Commissioner bounced down upon
the cotton barricades and sent it off to the
pound. We noticed several squads of men
taking possession of the muskets and marching
up town. Crowds of people were coming con
tnually, and leaving after they had satisfied
their curiosity by perring into yesterday
mysteries. A good deal Of fun was entered
into by mock parades and scntinels; new
corners were hailed and asked for the counter
sign.
A general cleaning up of the rooms which
were occupied is going on, and all the useless
paraphernalia of war is being pitched into the
street, and grabbed for by the boys and rag
pckers. Huge caudrons of coffee. which was
still smoking. were poured out into the gut
ters and the refuse meat, bread and vegeta-
blcs thrown to the dogs.
The shops and stores, which have been closed
some from absolute necessity-have thrown
open their doors, and gone to work earnestly
to make up for lost time. The confectionaries
and cigar stores look down in the mouth, as if
they were not realizing golden harvest dur
| ing the existence Of the Committee. The
| Courts are all open, and business in general
| has resumed. We heard q rumOr that some of
| the Committee had been arrested and placed
| in the Third District lookup.
The late Encampment Of the Vigilance
| Committee was visited by thousands yester-
| day and the ladies, especially, seemed to be
much interested in having the various spots
| pointed out 80 them. Some of them wanted
| to be shown the room where Capt. Duncan
! headquarters were but that was impossible
as it is situated in the Arsenal itself, and that
| was closed. We forgot to mention that, be-
| sides the State arms. many of the Vigilauts
! left their rifles, revoivers and bowie-knives
which were picked up and claimed as spoils
by those first visiting the spot in the morn
| ing.
At Lafayette Square, though every thing is
! quiet and the warlikc times almost forgotten
| the guns still remain, but have very peace
| ful bearing, with their mouths pointed down
| toward the grass. Several of the Vigilanl
| Committee were arrested yesterday but releas,
| ed, no aflidavts having been made againsI
| them. We learned last evening that warrants
had been issued for the arrest Of some of the
responsible ones, charged with damaging and
obstructing the public streets aud highways
and with being parties to the killing of their
| own men.
| We learn that the Committee after leaving
| the Arsenal were marched down TO the United
| States Barracks, where, after Il speech from
the Captain, they dispersed. Anything fur

will come bobbing up like so many corks on a
| fishing line, after a bite. The city has, how
ever, been exceedingly quiet, We heard sew
eral rumors of shooting affairs, but were I'M

To help the matter, the early frosts of last
fall, injured much of the corn; and much
that might answer good purpose in feeding
stock, was not fit for seed The farmers are
not at any time sufficiently discriminating in
selecting seed corn to advance their own
best interest. And many of them this spring
had the ill-luck to plant considerable guam
titles of corn that. in consequence of the
frOsting it had received. had lost the germ
mating principle. The farmers thought, the
first of last week, that if the season from that
time forward should turn out first rate they
could make fair crops of corn, but if there
was another cold, wet spell, the corn must be
a failure. According to this view of the case,
the heavy cold rains of Thursday and yester-
day have decided the case and the corn-crop
for this year must be set down a failure
The latter part of April and the first of May.
is complaining time. The farmers who
mango well. in this latitude, think that they
must finish planting by the tenth of May.
All planting after that is held to be slovenly,
or in consequence of circumstances over
which hard work can exercise no control.
1t is not unusual for farmers who take time
by the forelock to have their corn crop in the
ground by the 5th of May. The 18th of May
is recognized as late to finish planting. though
ordinarily there is no reason to fear that corn
planted at that date will be cut off by the
frost. The LIST of June is very late for corn
planting. and prudent farmer who plants at
that time takes care that he has corn of the
Canada variety for seed, or he expects to cut
it up before it is ripe and save it as fodder.
Corn planted as late as the 10th June must
be considered in precarious condition. The
chances are that it will be greatly damaged
by frost. if not cut off altogether. Now this
is the 18th June, and before the ground Will
allow the insertion of hoe or pillow, even if
not another drop of rain falls, it will be the
18th, which is too late. And corn is not the
only staple that the extraordinary rains affect
injuriously. The Wheat is already seriously
damaged, and the Barley must he used up if
we do not speedily have change for the bet
ter. Hardly grain of spring wheat or of
spring barley has been sown in the northwest.
where wheat is often, and barley habitually,
largely sown in the spring. The spring bar
ley crop has of latter years been important
This season it will be missing altogether
Oats is grain sown in the spring. We are
informed that there are whole townships and
counties, where oats are usually extensively
raised where now there is not field OF II 10
be heard of The farmers should make re-
doubled efforts TO raise all that they can, for
they certainly will get remunerative prices for
that which they will have to spare of the
yield of the soil for this year. This may be
set down as a dismal specimen of croaking.
We fear that il will be found that we have
not at all exaggerated the alarming facts con-
corning the condition of the cOuntry.-Cm.

WASHINGTON. June l:

The President communicated message TO
Congress to-day, in which he says it is his in
dispensable duty to call the attention of Con-
gress to the condition of the Treasury.
On the 18th May, the Secretary of the Treas
ury estimated that S3T 900, 900 would proba-
bly, be required for the first two quarters of
the next fiscal year. This does not include
such amounts as may be appropriated over
and above the estimates then submitted. The
probable deficiency cannot be ascertained till
all appropriations and private bills shall final
ly be passed. He recommends Congress TO
provide the necessary means before adjourn
ment. The failure to do so would be dis
grace which should not fall on the country.
1t will be impossible for him to ascertain the
amount required before Monday next, it now
being halfpast ii O'Clock. Saturday, He re-
peats the statement in his annual message that
he was determined to approve no bills which
he had not deliberately examined and adds
that he will not depart from this rule, except
in extreme cases. He asks a pOstponement of
the time of adjournment. for brief period,
for reasons stated. He says he will not detain
Congress an hour beyond the time necessary
to ascertain the total amount of appropria-

The British Cruisers.

Lord Napier has dispatches from the COM
mander of the British West India squadron.
disavowing the recent acts of visitation, and
disclaiming having instructions contemplating
such possibility. Upon being Informed of
the proceedings, he dispatched the sloop Jas
per in search of tn. Styx and other cruisers,
with orders to bring them in, intending to
hold the officers TO a strict account.
These dispatches, communicated to the
President and Cabinet on Wednesday, produc-
ed a reactive feeling of II lief, which is only
qualified by the apprehension that some of
our vessels ordered TO the Gulf may retaliate.
Instructions given to our officers sent TO
the Gulf authorized them distinctly to prevent
any attempt to visit detain examine, or ques-
ton American vessels.

Es- Letter writers say that some changes
are soon to take place in our foreign missions.
Mason is soon to be superseded at the Court
of st. Cloud, at his own request. Dodge, at

place at Rome; and Owen will soon be super
seeded at Naples. All right. 1t is time to
change, perhaps, il for no reason except TO
change. Nearly all these parties concerned
have served the public long enough. We don't
know that they have done eli her good or

Gs- The Union and American. in its TRADES
concerning the American authorities in New
Orleans, claims to be supported by the major
ity of the journals of that city. If that be
true, what of it? What does it prove, more
tian that the press is not infallible' The
people of New Orleans, most deeply concern
ed in the matter, have, in the election of an
American Mayor and city council, decided
that the charges against the American au-
thorities are untrue. Which is entitled to
more weight, the great body of the people, or
few newspaper editors!
