WESTERN CRoPs.-ln Marshal county, KY, the
wheat will be an average yield, the rye is good
and the prospects for corn fair some farmers
not having got through with their planting as yet
The meadows are of excellent quality, although
not so good as last year. In Warren county, Ohio
corn is month later than last season, and in con
sequence of the late storms and reshets, will not
make more than two-thirds of a crop. Much Of
the wheat has been scalded by the water standing
on the fields, and the balance does not look very
promising. In Clark county, Ohio, the wheat crop
looks well, and an average crop will be the result
Oats never looked better, and will be over an ave
rage crop. Early corn looks well, but there is not
much of it, and the farmers have given over the
idea OF planting any more this season. Grass il
the valleys is poor, but on the uplands is very
heavy. There is less flax than usual, but what there
is looks well. Rye and barley will both yield a
good crop.
REvoLUTIoNIzGNG A PLANTATIoN.-One of the ed
itors of the Ecening Post, now travelling at the
south, tells the following story, related by Colonel
Strother of Berkeley Springs, Va, who is the
"Porte Crayon" whose illustrated articles in Har-
per's Monthly have delighted the readers of that
magazine. 1t was about an energetic young naval
officer who determined to introduce the discipline
OF the service, and the modern improvements, upon
his newly inherited estate on the James river,
into dilapdation
On his arrival he ordered the old crazy ploughs,
lhe SPACES rakes, and the other antiquated nipple
menus, 10 De collected in heap and burned in pres
ence OF the whole plantation. The next day the
miserable horseS and cattle were collected together
and shot. On the day following the old barns and
out houses were fired and consumed
On the next day he commanded tho +orror st,;ot
en- slaves to be led out, and the overseer to pro-
nounce which of them were inefficient and Ja,prU
ing of death About one hundred and iifty We're
howl and cutlery for mercy mingled with nrom;aes
of good behavior arose. The master at first a,
peared immovable, but the prearranged interc ap
sion of the overseer finally induced him to relent
and allow them further probation of wear and q
half At this exhibition of clemency, the gratitude
of the poor negroes knew no bounds. A new spir;t
of industry seized them, and in year or two witt
of new methods of agriculture the energetic young
master could boast of one of the best ordered an,
most productive plantations in the State.

FROM ST DONINGO

by a letter from United States Consul Elliot,
dated st. Domingo city, May 18th, we learn that
an American citizen, Mr.. William A. 4. Read, of
Boston, was confined in filthy prison in that city,
and very badly treated, neither the Consul nor any
other person being allowed to see him. But sub
sequent letter from Mr.. Read himself, dated Cura-
Goa, June Sd. informs that after six days i'm
prlsonment he was released, and his passport was
seht to him for Curacao, of which he awaited him
sell IN the space of fifteen minutes. Hearing that
the United States frigate Colorado was at St
domingo city, and Commodore Macintosh was
claiming satisfaction for insults to our flag and
damage to our citizens, Mr. Read had chartered a
vessel to convey him there and confident of re-
celvng indemnity for the past, if not security for
the future The United States consul at Curacao
had gwen him letters for the purpose of making
good his claims
1t seems that Mr.. Reads store in Domingo, con-
tanning several thousand dollars worth of merchan
disc, has been closed for eight months during the
troubles there, all intercourse with the interior be-
ing cut off by the beseigers. Some time since he
went to Port Platt, where he purchased a
schooner loaded her for St Thomas, and sailed un-
der the Danish flag, when he overhauled by
the blockading squadron of ''pirates," who plum
dered the vessel, and after keeping Read and the
other passengers prisoners on board for ten days,
sent them to St Domingo where they were con-
fined as before Standardization Post.

THE CONDITION OF AFFAIRS AT CAIRO
LETTER FROM THE MAYOR OF THE CITY.

To the Editors of the Chicago Press:
perceive by your paper of the 18th inst, that
the reports of the late disaster to our town have
been greatly exaggerated. A large portion of it
is indeed submerged from break in the levec on
the Mississippi bank, but no house Of any consd-
cradle size has yet been washed or driftcd away
any expectation of any such occurrence is enter
tanned by any reasonable person residing here. \
portion of the south half of the hotel building
lately in course of construction, fell down on Sun
day last but that is not attributable to the water
the walls have been out of line for some months
and its fall expected.
Our Oldest citizens, whose knowledge extends back
to 1873, agree that this is the highest water they
have ever known here, and doubt if any one ever
it higher. To Charleston in Missouri twelve
miles distance on the SOUTH and to Burkevillc, nine
miles on the north, on the line of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad it is unbroken sheet of water in
Guiding the site of Mound City, which is in about
the same predicament ourselves, Except that we
have little more dry ground, their high bluffs
having vanished into ''thn air. Our leyces, ex-
cepting the crevasSe about 800 feet in extent, are
yet sound and unn ured, and we have no fears that
they will not continue so, although in some places
the water is running them The damage to
our town consists principally in the removal of fen
ces and out-hOuses and the immersion in the water
well the damage to levees, can be repaired in
a very short time after the waters subSide. few
weeks work will put lis all right again. and none
the worse for little wetting.
Very respectfully, your Obedient servant,
