carefully prepared estimate, showing that the
coming crop OF wheat would not be less than
two hundred millions of bushels, or fifty mil
lions more than the yield of last year. So lar
as this section of country is concerned, such
calculations are, we fear, doomed to severe
disuppointment-fo we have bad news from all
the country roundabout as to what fearful
rayages were made by the frosts on Saturday
and Sunday night. We have what we consider
reliable information from different points in
Washington County, Pa, from Brooke County
above US, from Belmont opposite us, and froulf
the country Immediately back of us, and it tells
but one story, which is, the large, if not the
total blight of the wheat and fruit crop. We
greatly fear that this news is too true, from the
specimens of the blight which were shown us
Yesterday. A farmer from Brooke, who lives
midway between the National Road and the
State road running through Bethany, called in
to tell us that all the fields which he had exam
ined. and of which he had heard through his
neighbors, were irretrievably ruined, and that
the corn crop was scarcely better off. From
Washington County, in the vicinities of Can
onsburg, Cross Creek Village and Independence,
we receive like reports. From Plank Roads in
Belmont County, Ohio, we are also likewise in
formed All the accounts that we have re-
received are most discouragng indeed. Yet we
are in hopes that this devastation is not gen.
not so epidcmical as some persons think it is
The Southern and South Eastern crops hive
been comparatively large, and have all been, or
are now being, harvested in good condition.
We shall be greatly rejoiced to learn that the
frosts have been confined to Western Pennsyl-
vania, North Western Virginia and Eastern
Ohio. Ii certainly will be bad enough within
that limit, comprising, as it does, the grain
growing country, par excellence, of the United
States.
In the meantime LET our readers in the sur
rounding counties give us accurate information
as to the extent of the damage.
p S.-Since writing the above we have the
following advices by telegraph as to the damage
done in other parts of the country. 1t certain

TnE condition of the Austrians, according to
leading article in a number of the London
Nelos brought by the steamer America, is ter
rible. Itappears that within three weeks there
has been an emission of hundred and
twenty millions of paper money, without any
metallic basis; forced loan of seventy
millions in Lombardo-Anstria, and general
raising of all the direct and indirect taxes And
all this before the first bHttle at the very out
set of the war. What will Francis Joseph do
if it should last for a couple of years? The
commercial distress in consequence of the dc
probation of the Bank Notes, which has already
reached fifty per cent, is immense, and many
failures have followed that of the great banking
house of Trastain & EskeIes, and the provinces
complain that they unable to pay the taxes.
INAsNucH rs many Of the more inscriptions
of the Democratic papers of the country have
been endeavoring to make capital Cor their par
ty, by constant reference to the "two years
amendment act" adopted by the Legislature of
Massachusetts, requiring two years residence
after naturalization, and inasmuch us they have
sought to make the Opposition all over the North,
responsible for it, German correspondent of
Saturdays Pittsburgh Despatch, on behalf of
the Germans thereabouts, writes that
The action of the Massachusetts Legislature
would have been passed by quietly had it not
been for some of the Democratic politicians, who
arc extremely anxious to avail themselves Of this
opportunity of bringing many Germans into
their pro-slavery organization. But put the
pregnant question, What are honest, intelligent
Germans, among southern Shareholders Mere
dogsI except during a Presidential canvass,
when their Votes considered an important item.
