The Dry Summer of 1850.

A considerable portion of the United
States, as remarked by a contemporary has
suffered from drouth during the summer
just ended to such an extent as to Justify
the prediction that, for long time to
come, the season will be referred to as the
dry summer of 1860. From about the
forticth parallel of north latitude. extend
ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean,
and southwark to embrace all Mexico,
and even the Isthmian countries, the
drouth has prevailed to an injurious ex-
| tent, and in large districts of country to
such degree as to prevent the raising of
any one of the provision crops. There
are some districts to be excepted, where
timely showers have saved the crops from
destruction and even secured pretty ample
production; but they are few, and not of
large extent, being mere exceptions to a
general rule. Had the locality been re-
versed and the destructive season been
confined to the region north of the for
tieth degree of latitude. where the cereal
grains are mainly produced. there would
have been scarcity of food uneXampled
in the history of the country But it so
happens, Fortunately, that the northern
region has been productive to almost an
uneXampled extent. - that there can be
no dagger of famine. or even of very high
prices for breadStutlS. But vast quaint
ties have to be moved and distributed
over the southern country, giving large
employment to boats and railroads, and
increasing the intercourse between the
South and North. just when politicians are
seeking causes of arrangement

that 1.-THE sin of America was the sin of
suretyship." There is written in mourn
full letters in the history of every man the
record Of suffering by endorsement. 1t
would make the most extraordinary chap

of this feature in business were written.
