The Crops.

Intelligence in regard to the crops from
all directions of the Union, except in some
portions of the extreme West, are general
ly of cheering character. In Ohio as
far as We can learn, everything looks IA
yoradle, and the prospect is now good for
large crops Throughout the Northwest
the late rains have been of incalculable ad-
vantage to the growing crops, and should
the weather continue as favorable as it now
is no fears need be entertained that the
harvest which is to follow will far exceed in
abundance its predecessors for many years.
From Iowa the news is most cheering
The rye harvest there it is expected, will
be ripe as early as Jrne in some parts of
the State. In Indiana no unfavorable re-
ports have yet reached us in our exchanges.
In Michigan everything is looking very
well. In most of the Southern States the
grains are ripening beautifully, and give
promise of an abundant harvest, but in
Kentucky short crops are predicted. The
fly is doing great damage there and wheat
appears to be of weak and sickly growth.
The Louisville paper says that the crop of
wheat in Kentucky will fall far short of
that of that of last year. In Virginia also
there are numerous complaints of the raw
ages of insects in some of the most fer
tile districts. The prospects for fuits in
the regions name above are generally con-
sidered good, and it is thought that all the
danger from frost is now past.-.States-

Our Minister at China has thought the
conduct Of the Captains of the ships Mes

Pioneer, as connected with the the Collie
traffic, thus seriously affecting our relations
with that Empire Of sufficient importance
to make it the subject of special despatch
to cur Government. The attention of the
Governor General has been directed to the
undisputed fact that the Chinese were Ia
ken on board their vessels lying at Wham-
poa by force of fraud, against positive
rule of Port Canton, that they should be
shipped only at their pleasure. Minister
Ward says no American house will have
any connexion with the traffic, but unfortu-
naiely ready agents are found among the
English and other merchants of Hong
Kong. - = -, 80

transactions, that other governments have
either forbidden their vessels to be engaged
in it, or so restrained and regulated it as to
throw it almost entirely into the hands of
the Americans. -
Mr.. Ward expresses the earnest hope
that Congress will pass a law to punish
the offenders which obstruct the faith

spects to the President. A letter says:
The dresses Of the Japanese were much
more peorgeous than any they had previ-

richly embroidered trousers Of silk. The

The Tornado in the Ohio River

The newspapers bordering the Ohio in
Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky, contain long
andpainful accounts of the destruction of
life and property by the great storm of May
2lst In extent and violence it. has no
parallel in-this country, aud the damages
TO property can scarcely be estimated. In
many places nothing could withstand its
power, and great oak trees, that had braved
the storms of centuries, were twisted off
like twigs. The loss in fruit trees alone is
The city Of Portsmouth felt the full fu-
ry of the storm, and the Tribune fills two
columns with list of injuries sustained.
Steeples, furnace-stacks, and buildings were
swept down, involving men, women, chill
dren, horses, cattle and furniture in one
common ruin. A daughter of Mr.. E.
Jones, years old was killed. Also H.
McConlinston and David Price In Cler-
mont and Highland counties the damages
were general and extensive, Several horses
and cattle were killed and a number of per-
sons injured. Mr. Jonathan Wright and,
Mr.. Jackson, cattle dealers, were Killed.
On the Ohio river, some forty coal boats
and .barges were lost, and a-large number
of1iycs. In some instances the boats went
down with all on board. Sixpair of boats
were in sight of New Richmond at the
time when the storm came up, and they
were not seen after the storm subsided.-
The sef life among boatmen probably
reaches fifty or more persons. The storm
on the river is described as coming on with
a suddenness that was appalling. A black
cloud appeared in the heavens, and burst

way before it, Cleveland Leader.

ticket patched up in New Jersey shows
no sign of keeping in condition. The
leadi z Douglas men reTudiute II, and
scarcely any two of the Democratic or
gans agree in relation 10 Il. The Sussex
Democrat emphatically protests against
such an arrangement, Tor il considers
"Mr. Breckenridge to be hostile to the
principles ofthe Democratic party" and
il does not want 20 be implicated in the
disunion movement Of those who nomin-
ated him. The Patterson Daily Regis
ter wants to know who the men are who
made "the Recommendation TO throw
over the regular nominees, and take up
with the stump candidates Breckenridge
and Lane" Although the Douglas or
gSns talk in this style, il is generally con-
ceded that Breckenridge will have q
large vote in New Jersey. The Salem
STANDARD says that the Democratic par
" in that county is much more evenly
divided between Douglas aud Johns On
