The Wheat Crop.

From the New York Courier, Aug 20.1
The great wheat harvest in the West is nearly
over, and the promises which 1t gave in the field
is being amply fulfilled IN the overlooking of the
garner. The wheat crop of 1860 is the largest
that has yet been produced. In all the Western
States excepting the Western part of Missouri, and
u portion of Kansas, where IL was injured by tho
drouth, the story of the crop is the same wonder
full and gratifying one, wheat of unprecedented
abundance in the general yield. Through this
literally golden harvest the West rises into new
life from her depression under financial duilicul-
ties, and the whole country participates in her
prosperity. To the G cd Of the harvest belong de-
vout thanks from the nation so blessed, so pros
percd.
Estimates of the wheat crop must necessarily be
approximate, from the fact that our information
is obtained through trade and the compilation of
individuals. For among the many privileges of
free government, VIC certainly have one of judging
each one for himself every year of the question so
important to all. namely, the product OF the bread
and meat. Of this vital question, to all classes it
is thought better to let all be free to guess rather
than to try by well directed official effort to OBJ
tain returns with exacttude. Awaiting ourselves
of the liberty to make guess, VIC propose to give
value to il by some figures cOllated with care.
The last official return of the wheat crop was of
the year 1855. Assuming this as basis, and ia
king rate of the increase of population as the
rate of increase of number of acres, and getting
at the average production from our exchange files,
We give the following figures as approximate
statements of the production of wheat in the sew
eral years:
The production Of wheat in the several States
for 1853, 80 and go, may be stated as follows:

No Fusion in North Carolina-Th
State, Co., ZEN and Everett.

State o. |eil and Everett.
s1I e. branch of the De-
Stracy, united upon Ellis, are now, the
gubernatorial election being over, de-
termined to set up for themselves. The
friends of Mr.. Douglas proposed recon-
citation on the following basis:
"If the vote of the State will elect
Douglas, or place him in the House, and
that vote will neither elect Breckenridge,
nor place him in the House, the Douglas
Democrats may rest assured that the
vote will be cast for Douglas"
Mr. Britton, the editor of the Charlotte
Bulletin, an out-and-out Breckenridge pa
per, proposed at meeting in Mecklen-
burg county, that the proposition of the
Douglas party be accepted if formally
proffered, but his resolution to that effect
vas scornfully rejected. Mr.. Britton, in
his paper, announcing this rejection,
says:
The proposition made is one of the
most honorable that has ever oeen offer
ed, and its endorsement or acceptance
involved no sacrifice of principle on the
part of the friends of Breckenridge and
Lane.
We have discharged what we conceive
to be our duty. and should defeat and
bitter partizan hostility result from such
hasty and unjust action in Charlotte, the
responsibility will rest, not with the
friends of Mr.. Douglas, for they have
acted nobly and generously.
The same paper of Monday last, con-
tains the proceedings of the Douglas De
mocracy, at which the following resolu
ton was adopted:
Resolved, That further concession or
| the part of the friends of Judge Douglas
would be humiliating, unmanly and un
becoming the spirit of freemen. We
therefore, pledge to each other and to the
country, persistent and determined OPP
position to the mischievous heresies anc
the new party tests that have well nigl
disrupted the National organization o
| the DerHatle party, and will, if sue
cessful, compass the dissolution Of the
| Union itself.
The Bulletin Of that date says:
We regret very much to witness th'
present state of affairs. They are unfor
tunate indeed, and unless q fusion doe
take place we have no doubt that thu
State will be easily carried by the friend
of Bell and Everett. In that case tn
friends Of Mr.. Breckenridge will be en-
tirely to blame.

Peyton, Haynes and Polk, were with us
to-day.
have not time now to write you full
account Of the discussion. Col Peyton
led of, Col. Haynes followed, and then
came Col. Polk, who was quite unwell,
and was only able to speak q few min
utes.
The debate was an able and dignified
one. The parties were all remarkably
courteous and respectful towards each
other, conducting the whole affair in the
most gentlemanly manner.
Col. Peyton's speech was all that we
had expected of him. 1t was strong
and cogent argument on the great ques-
tions of the day, and he was listened to
with marked attention by all PARTIES
The lucid and clear manner in which
Col. Peyton presents the Union question
is compelled to have q wonderful effect
upon the people of Tennessee. No man
can hear him and not see that the Union
of the States is absolutely imperlled.
am now satisfied of one thing that |
before doubted, and that is that Col.
Peyton is one of the very strongest men
before the people in Tennessee. l row
feel that the Union men of Tennessee
have nothing to fear while their cause is
in Peyton's hands.
Col. Haynes is a pretty talker. l had
never heard him. was certainly in
terested in his speech. He has smile
upon his face that gives him the appear
ance of insincerity, but certainly moth
ing he said could be regarded as indica-
tive of a want of candor and fairness
In point of merit on the score of dignity,
his speech was certainly greatly above the
usual tenor of democratic speeches.
Haynes said great many pretty things
talked of flowers and party, took Breck-
inridge up into the clouds and set him on
the rainbow, and then slid him off into
the White House. Tile neat manner in which
Mr.. Breckenridge dresses and combs lis hair,
seemedtoJc farorite subject ,oih him.
Peyton's reply, especially upon Breck-
inridge's curls, was the richest thing ever
witnessed before Franklin county au-
dience. 1t is now IL o'clock at night,
and have no idea that the crowd has
yet been able to stop laughing long
enough to take supper.
L make one prediction now, at the out
set, and that is that Haynes does not
again allude to Breckinridge's curls.--
Peyton devoted the first ten minutes of
his reply to the lightning and thunder
part. of Haynes speech, and it is the
general opinion of all parties here that
Haynes will in the future quit the clouds,
rainbows, lightning and thunder, and
come down and debate the issues made
by Peyton as to the danger of the
Union.
If you see Haynes just ask him about
those curls, and whether Breckenridge
is still straddlc of the rainbow. A.

Roy The New York Day Book (Breck-
inridge) confesses that many Of the boil
ters, in that State, are going down into
the sloughs of Douglas-ism. The fact is,
that whole party are like Bolling's ICON

sin; whites and blacks down with the
