Is oeing amply fulfilled in the overfowing or tha
garner The wheat crop of 1860 ia the larTost ~
has yet been produced In all the Western Statas
excepting the w estern part of Missouri and a no.
tion OF Kansas where it was injured by the droutb
the story OF the crop is the same wonderful and
gratifying one, wheat of unprecedented abundance in
the general yie.d. Through this literally golden
harvest the West rises into new life from her de.
preston under financial di iculties and the whole
country participates in her prosperity. To the
God OF the harvest belong devout thanks from the
naIion so blessed, so prospered.
ESTIMATES OF the wheat crop must necessarily be
approximate, from the fact that our information is
oDtalned through trade and the compilation of
ssnulVlduas. For among the many privileges of
iree government, we certainly have the one of udp
ing eacn one for himself every year of the Gues
tlon so important to all, namely the probable pro-
uuct OF bread and meat Of this vital oestion IN

The last official return of the wheat crop was of
the year 1855. Assuming this as a basis, and taking
the 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 state
ments OF the production of wheat in the several
years: ~ S''' al

~ MR.. BRECKENRIDGE.
The report that Mr.. Breckenridge is about to
Withdraw from the Presidential contest is thus de-
MED by the Louisville Courier:
MT. Brecklnridge has not called consultation of
MS trends for any such purpose nor for any pur-
pose; he has not thought of withdrawing, nor have
any one OF his friends entertained such an idea; he
Tli STAND by the principles of his platform, the
constitution, the Union, and the Equality of the
states; and his best informed and most reliable
friends believe he will be the next President of the
y United States, to which end every true friend of
, ene onion, and real enemy of black Republicanism
will work with right good will until the contest
is decided, and the fate of the country fixed.
paragraph in the Louisville Courier dav or
two since, has been looked upon, in some quarters,
as connrrimatory OF the report that Mr.. Breckin-
ridge will take the stump in Kentucky. We have
reason to believe that the in question is utter
iy and altogether unfounded and we did not intend
IN the reference made to the notice of it in the
Journal to be understood admitting its truth,
or even conceding the probability of such action
on the part of Mr.. Breckinridge
