Crops.

The wheat crop 10 this section, so promising
all the season, has had nothing material
ly to interrupt its progress, and there is every
prospect of large yield. The cold weather
of the past week, while it has checked and in
jured much of the vegetation, has rather bene.
fitted the wheat than otherwise. In week
from this date harvest will commence, and
the time from that to the first of July will bt
one of labor, care and anxiety to the furmer.-
The modern Improvements in reapers have,
however, much reduced the labor of harvesting
the wheat and oat crops. The hay crop-the
only full crop last year-will be equally a.
good this, and, being now ripe, the farmers Lre
cutting and curing it as fast as the weather
will permit. June, if the farmers could con.
troll the elements, would be dry month. Ger
tainly humid atmosphere is very much against
them in harvesting. The growing oats, jus
about heading out, are looking finely, and If d
drought does not Oyertake them the yield will
be large. Corn is doing we'll, but no calcula
ton in regard 10 it need be entered into befOr,
July and August. Vegetables were doing wei
until visited by the late summers frost, frou
which, no doubt, they will soon recover. o.
the whole. there ia nothing much to complain
of, and much to be thankful for.

YeOman's Dinner.

On Friday last, a number of the personal
friends of Geo. w. Cummins, Esq, interested
in Agrlculture-several OF whom were from

esling time. Ia the morning the company rode
around to his different farms, examined the
crops, and witnessed the condition and breed OF
stock, mode of farming. &c; returning in the
afternoon to Woodlawn," where they found

His farms are in a fine state of cultivation
and if he takes delight in excell'ng his neigh
bors in any one thing, it is that of farming
which he will have done well. at W.T. taieve

must be Of benefit to the yeomanry. as by then
their ideas may be enlarged from an Inlelligen

There is nothing of great Importance from
the seat of war in Italy. Garibaldi continued
his advance in Lombardy. The Italians are
revolving against the Austrians wherever they
can be protected by the Allies.
1t is indicated that England and Russia would
soon endeavor to put an end to the war. The
Emperor of Austria had left Vienna and arrived
in Verona, having in attendance the Archduke
Charles and General Hess. English man-of
war sailors had quarrelIed with some American
seamen in Florence in consequence OF the latter

\ letter to the Baltimore american from Charles
town. Va, dated on the 2lst inst, says: The mill
tary are daily leaving fast as the railroad can
carry them homcwards The Fincaste Guards left
this morning. The whole military government will
be disbanicd on Saturday when Gen. TALAFEEEO and
his staff will also depart and the restoration Of civil
rights viii be the occasion of grand jubilee among
our people" As pertinent to this subject we find
in the Richmond papers of the I'D a special mes
sage of Gov. WISE to the Legislature Of Virginia in
which he says:
The forces at Cbarlestown have been kept onduty
from the 18th Of October down to tins period, vary
ing in number from one or two hundred to nearly
sixteen hundred men at particular times. lester-
day Cthe 2Oth inst ordered the forces to be re-
duced from about one thousand men to mere
guard. to be organized and appointed by Maj Gen.
Taliaterro. Two Of the prisoners, Cook and Cop
pic lately escaped from the Jail and the interior guard
of the sheriff, and were driven back to prison by
the military sentincs. Two Of the worst Of the Of
tenders are yet awaiting trials, and require to be
strictly guarded. civil guard cannot be relied on,
for the reason that however faithful, they lack
ing in discipline. The military guard must be con

The Governor then proceeds to state that the eX-
penses incurred by the use of the military cannot
be asccrtained most Of the accounts remain to be
presented. which cannot be done until Gen. ITALIA
FERRo proceeds to Richmond with the vouchers. The
Governor doubts, IN fact whether these accounts can
be audited before the installation of his successor

The treaty Win Mexico.

The Washington correspondent or the Baltimore
SIN writes under date Of the 2lst inst rs follows:
The treaty with tn Juarcz Government SO long
pending has been ratified by that Government at
last and Mr.. McLaEe is himself the bearer. The
treaty was not assented to by the precarious Gov
ernmcnt at Vera Cruz until 1t had become evident
that nothing else could save it from speedy destruction
The terms of the treaty are exceedingly favorable
10 the United States and cannot fail il carried out
with rigor by this Government. to produce happy
effect uuon the interests OF Mexico Whether the
Senate will ratfy this treaty will depend very much
upon the representations of McLane as to the pre-
sent prospective ability Of the Liberal Govern
ment to comply with its stipulations. Its true
however, that, accepting the treat an agreement
with the de tdco Government of Mexico we may
make any future violations of it by any power in
Mexico the cause of war.
