The Peel cron Of nalauars.

- The Wilmington Republican re-
ports the general impression that the
peach crop of that State will prove
almost an entire failure Tho trees
looked well through the winter, and
hopes were entertained of a very
heavy yield. The growers in the
neighborhood of Odessa had already
begun to estimate the number of bas-
kets, wagons, hands, &C., that would
be necessary. in their picking, and
bright heaps of gold loomed up in
their minds as the result The cold
weather of the past week, however,
has done much to dispel the anticipa-
tion, as buds appear black and life
less, and ready to drop of. The
young trees on heavy soil may not
be very seriously injured, but those
which were moro advanced cannot
possibly yield an eighth of CROP
We regret this. as many of our farm
ers have set out trees, and a fair yield
would cause good times among them.

EUROPEAN DEMAND FOR BREADsTUFFs.-Thc
late English news is favorable to all American
interests. Cotton is better; breadstuffs in good
demand at an advance and full business in
American produce Of all kinds. The pri-
vate advices received at New York concern
ing brcadstuffs are said to be very encourag-
ing.
Reference to the official tables of British
imports shows that of the increased purcha-
ses of breadstuffs very large proportion is
received from the United States, and until
another crop is gathered in Europe nothing
can prevent a continuance of this advan-
tage. Agricultural authorities are by no
means sanguine of the crop prospects of the
Kingdom for 1861, and argue that by rea-
sou of the severity of the winter, which has
impeded the planting of wheat, there must,
with an average yield upon the breadth of
land planted, be a serious deficiency in bread
stuffs, to be made up from American sourc-
es in q great measure. AT this moment
the crop prospects of the United States are
good, and it is proper to assume no casualty
to the grain crop intervening, that large
export will be made, to the great advantage of
the grain section Of the country In less than
ninety days new wheat from Georgia and 9TH
er Southern States will be in market, and in
large quantities, judging from the crop reports
recently made.

A WOMAN KILLS TWELVE WoEvEs.-We
are indebted to Ephraim Brown Esq, for the
particulars of fight which occurred OH Mon
day night Of this week, at Bridget Creek, be-
tween Mrs. T.. G. Higgins, and about dozen
wolves. Early in the evening Mrs. II. heard
an unusual noise at the calf pen, and upon go
ing out found that something like u dozen
wolves were contemplating an attack upon the
calf Upon her approach they retreated short
distance. Mrs. II. is good shot with rife
and she determined 10 shoot at least one Of the
intruders with her husbands loaded rife; upon
reflection, she concluded to put strychnine up
on some meat she had in the house. and give
it to her unweleeme visitors. She did so, and
upon the return of her husband, who was
absent the forepart Of the evening, he found
twelve wolves lying dead within few rods of
the house.-Eau Clare (W,sl Free Press

Depopulation of Texas.

Theodore Hartzberg, formerly edi-

The Brownsville Express says:
The volume of migration is swell

you hardly meet a man who does not
talk of moving, and unless there is
an immediate return of good, estab-

Washington, the other evening, q lady
was seated at the piano singing
General Wool, wearing his button,
asked her to sing the Star Spangled

effect. The General stood beside her

from eyes that never quailed before his

parlor rang with the applause the song
and the scene so we'll merited.
