The CrOps.-A brief soJourn in the country
last week, confirmed our previous belief in the
scantiness of the Wheat and Dat crops. Fields of
Wheat are now being harve sted which last year
yielded from 25 to 30 bushels per acre-this year
will yield, as general thing, but from Is to 49,
Oats are no better, ifas good of course there are
a few exceptions
Of Corn and Potatoes there promises to be a
pretty fair yield. An almost magical effect has
been produced in them by the late rains. Corn
especially, you could almost see grow, during the
late warm days. The only insect from which there
is chance of their suffering is Grasshoppers--of
which there seems to be any quantity.

Pie Nics.-Pic Mics are in vogue again. We
have no objection to Pic Nir in themselves, but
they are apt to have unpleasant comcomitants or
accomplishments. We had Pic Mic excursion to
our city from Chicago, last week 1t was said to
be Sunday School excursion, but some of the ac-
compartments were anything but Sunday School
like in their character. A large number of "fast
youths" of both sexes, took advantage of the ex-
cursion fare, to out here and show their want
of good manners to our staid and sober citizens
We noticed two or three of those youths marched
off to Jail, at one time for disturbing the peace

Draw Bridge.-At the last regular meeting
OF the Common Council, AldermaI Van Arsdale
offered the following resolution: ..
hesotoed, That -- is hereby authorized to
procure plan and estimates for bridge, to be
located near the Main Street Bridge; said plan to
provide for draw for the passage of vessels; also
for an estimate Of the cost of the draw.
The business of the place, when the cars are
running regularly to Rockford, Dixon and Rock
island, will demand an increase of harbor room,
and that can most easily and oonvenentybe made
above Main Street Bridge. We think it not out
of place to begin preparing for that contingency.

Party Men and Patriots.

II 4 high time that tie putty man

is Lnl one great question before The Amor
ieno people the capacity Of man for self
government, aud the practical work ncees.
mrs 70 decide that question is 70 crush Tie
rebellion thoroughly and completely, and
10 preserve unlimited the emblem Of The
nations honor and the integrity Of the con-
stiiutiou. All the chickering's, siritos and
petty alimosities which are characteristic
81 the mere party man, and which are
unworthy an american, should be dis
carled. and that pure, unselfsh love Of
one's country, tlc readiness 10 give ones
self FOR the maintenance Of its dear bought
institutions and priceless honor should
pcryado the whole heart Of the American
people Transforming the party man into
ihc firm, stern.heartcd, unyie!ding patriot.
The man who will allow for a moment
PARTY interest self,iatercst--to come be-
tween him and his dnty TO his government
and lis flag, who stops short Of an unre-
served, unconditional surrender Of his
money, his influence, his o,ea right arm u
pcei Be. TO the sacred cause of humanity.
in this her EXTREMIST hour Of peril, is a
traiior and villain, and deserves the ut
ter execration Of his fellows. A party
man i. a traitor. We say no compromise
with traitors, North or South II man
is not a traitor now he should be made TO
be. either in the ranks with gun IN his
hands. or from the limb oi the nearest
tree. Ii is time TO be terribly in earnest.
We have no boys play before us, we have
pot to fight and fight hard. And be who,
di.carding all selfish motives, nobly throws
himself into the breast, and gives himself
TO his eourtry, deserves and will receive
the heartfelt gratitude of the nation. Let
then all the able bodied and patriotic
young men Of the country come forward
and respond with n will to the call Of the
hest government the sun ever shone upon.
The strength Of the government is the
love feit for it by the people. If we do
not love liberty and free institutions
enough TO preserve them when We have
the power. we deserve TO lose them. II
We should be told we did not love our
country, we would strike the foul moulhed
slandercr to the earth. Let us then show
our lore by enlisiing under its banner, the
emblem at once Of truth, Of freedom, and
Of riotory. II.
