Hnrrestinr and the Crops.

Harvesting has already been commenced in many
parts Of our State. The wheat has ripened very
rapidly in the past fortnight of warm, dry weather,
recovering from injury which was apprehended from
previous rains. Several fields have been cut in the
vicinity Of Baltimore and the Western counties. On
the Eastern Shore the work of harvesting has pro
crossed finely Gentlemen who have recently travelled
in that region are convinced there will be an abundant
Weld in quality and quantity. From all We can as
certain the Mary land crop this season will be full
average one so far as wheat and rye are concerned.
The oats look remarkably well, whilst some rain is
wanting for the corn, though it promises hopefully
A finer crop Of grass has never before been known.

More favorable weather, preparatory TO gathering
in the harvest could not have been desired. If 1t
continues so week ten days longer there will be
nothing TO mar the husbandman's hopes Of plenti-
full return for his labors.
Our advioes from all parts Of the country deeid
sdlv encouraging with reference 10 the crops Wheat
and rye have ripened beautifully and as q general
thing free from rust mill dew scab, sc. If there
are any who calculate upon short crops, making the
wish fatherto the thought, our present impression
is they will be disappointed. Labor for harvesting
purposes, we learn, is plentiful and to be had on
very reasonable terms.-BaLtlmoTe Patriot, July 2.

citability equal to the and his own saDguine

looks like one. How such HGiUs sort of indi-
Vidusl compete unite with such cunning old fox
as Vanderbilt? Vanderbilt interesting Belly and
others to rake chestnUts out Of the fire is highly
amusing to the officials in Washington. He had
undoubtedly got the kernel-transit route-whiIe

Agreeably to the decision of the administration,
the Navy Department has ordered the Commodore

Nicaragua route q sufficient force to keep it open
The naval vessels will remain at or near San Juan

Twas a lone spot around whose edge,
Waved the rank weed, and rustling sedge,
And the grapes trailing vine.
The thorn woye there prickly hedge,
The Wild vine twined its prickly screen;
But seldom those blossoms seen,
Pale lily or red rose.

Shadows the tranquil scene;

Where spectral, evanescrnt shapes
Come when the sable midnight hour
The land with darkness drapes
That often in the pale moOn-leam

The ghOstly ranks in long parade,

With trailing sword and banner, press

though your Kindness has induced you 20 eouinenu
me much, yet you have done me no more 'han

Admitting, as do, the existence Of some eVils
incidental to slavery yet there are, a. have always

statement the Journal of Commerce omitted to pub

were accusatOry and denunciatOry Of the Abolition

One Of these, | stated in the letter to be the
/ fact that among oar white women there we're much
fewer cases of RIGHTEOUSNESS, than existed among
the lower classes of whites at the North; and thai

while at the North they were frequent.
My letter was written the 18th Of April and wal
published about week afterwards in the Journd

to come on the 18th of May, and the letter wa
published in such way by the Journal Of Commerce
as the editor thought would give it most influences
upon the minds of conservative members of tb

Ihave then been subjected to this double injus

thought to be most offensive TO the North we're lef

an admission against the institution, (which is n
admission at all, if the compensatory paragraph
