Will Pomeroy, Martin IL Co., of Atchi-

see fourth page] advising the settlers in
Western Kansas to take possession of the
Land Offices and adjourn the land sales
for one year." answer US a couple of ques-
tions?-
"Do you not know that if the settlers
had followed your advice, not one of them
would ever have got his land, but all would
have been proclaimed as traitors and outlaws
by the United States authorities and either
punished as such or been obliged to leave
the country?"
"Did you mean that you, yourselves,
would be con hand" to assist the settlers in
the forcible proceeding you recommend, and
bear your part of the responsibility and
consequences of the same? Or did you
intend, as of old, to try and get the credit
without doing any of the fghting?"
We are glad to know that the settlers
treat this manifesto as it deserves-with
contempt. They know that nothing but
knavery or culpable ignorance could have
dictated such an incendiary and fatal recon-
mendatioD.

THE CROPS.

Our exchanges from every portion OF the
Northern States bring us cheering intelli-
gence in regard to the crops of all kind the
present season. The wheat, which is now
being thresbed and taken to market, is of
splendid quality, and the yield per acre, ex-
cept only in parts of Illinois. Iowa. Indiana
and Missouri is greater than usual The
aggregate, it is confidently believed, will
greatly exceed that Of any previous year.
The growing corn never looked better at
this time in the season than now, while the
area planted far exceeds the ordinary
amount This is the case all over the West,
and there is yet to be the first fear express
ed in regard to the safety of the crop.
Fruit of all kinds has not been so abundant
for years as the present season. In Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois the crop of apples are
especially large.
The result of this plenty will be that pro-
visions will be cheap. The state of the
market thus early, foreshadows it. New
wheat is selling at from 10 to 80 cents in
Cincinnati. and other points in the West,
with dull sales. Corn is drug, and farm
ers in Illinois are anticipating the lowest
prices ever yet paid since the construction
of railroads, in that State. A gentleman
just from Kansas City informs us that the
Warehouses in that city are full of flour,
for which there is but dull sale.
The wheat crop having failed SO entirely
in Kansas. her people will be obliged to
look abroad for their supply of breadstufs;
and to them the abundance and cheapness
of the "staff of life" is cause for rejoicing,
and we shall soon look for corresponding
reduction in the price of -four in this market.
The late rains have rendered certain a
fair crop of corn in this portion of Kansas.
We think the aggregate quantity of corn
this season in the Neosho Valley will con-
siderably exceed that of last year. But
there are many portions of the Territory,
where the quantity raised will fall much
short of last season. This, with the in
creased demand for corn, viii undoubtedly
make the price of it higher the present year
than it has been since 1857, which will
compensate our farmers to great degree
for the failure of the wheat crop.
