THE GROWING WHEAT CROP.
The New York He4old collects accounts Of
the growing wheat crol. from the ieadins pa
pcrs Of all tic great wheat producing States,
I'LL Of which affirm that the prospect for large
yicld WAS never better. The L-rtsM snys that
!" the crop has so far advanced and the rains
throughout the country have hocn 50 abuA-
dant, TINT we can luyo little reason to fear that
either 4 general drought Or insects ca1l hence
firth destroy the present general prospect Of n
harvest greatly exceeding lllat Of last year.
Cpon this good and glorious promise NC con-
:,r:s:ulatc the American people, producers and
consumers, aud tie world ut large. An alum
dant wheat harvest will enable our producers,
especially of the great West, To clear them
selves Of tic pressure of the financial c1nl1ar-
rassnc1ts Of tie late rcyulsion; and to our
very distressing Inconvenience
Chicago Alton and st. Louis Railroad.
A correspondent ut Bloomington charges Us
with doing injustice to Coz Mattrson in imput-

Our cnrrcspnnirn1 as>trrs lis that tle delay
vas occasioned by the determination on the puEt
ot Gov. Mattusun not to give up the road until

indebtedness; and that lie has ut last accepted
