PRODICrsON IN IOWA.

Wm. Duyal Wilson, of the State Agricultural
Bureau of Iowa, las made inquiry of the several
members oi the Legislature OF that State, recently
convened in extra session at Des Moines, o. 70
the prospects for the harvest Of 1861. His general
conclusions from their reports are as follows:
The Wheat grown lsst year in that State reached
a. aggregate of Nineteen Millions Of Bushcis,
averaging sixteen bushels per acre. (lt was mail-
y Spring Wheat) Of this about Five Millions
remain on hand. The breadth sown this year is
oue-fourth greater than last and " the indications
4" for good crop were never better" II no ca
ani,y shoud oyertake the growing grain, the crop
OF 1861 may therefore bc expected 10 reach
Twenty-.hree Millions of bushels, worth, at SOC.
Der bushe. SII 800 900, and he estimates that the
amount on hand will serve for home consumption
this year.
TIE lndion Corn crop Of last year was large,
and tho area planted this yesris one.fith greater
than last. IL looks well, but is, Of course. too
small yet to bo counted Oh. About one-iourth Of
last years crop is still on hand. Litle of it is
exported save in the form OF Beef and Pork.
OF Hogs, the number marketed this year will
be about one-third ghater than last.
Mr. Wilson estimates that the State will have
Beef and Pork to sell of this years product
10 tho value Of $9,375,000; the increased pro-
ducton of Beef over that Of last year being esti-
mated at one-fourh. 10 be safe, however, ho
suggests that the price may be lower, aud that
the actual value of the amount tor sale will be
s., ,OOO 900; 80 that the State will export OF her
products in lo6l to the value Of $l9,5OO. 900, or
in round numbers, Twenty Millions Of Dollars,
ms she will probably sell little Of something else
than Wheat, Boef and Pork.
A large area of tue laad last ysar in grain has
New-York daily tribune., 1861-06-08

been seeded TO Clover and Timothy, being re-
placed in tillage by prairie newly broken whence
tho increase of Cattle and Hogs, not only in
numbers but in weight is rendered highly prob
able.
A much larger breadth of land has been sowed
to the new saccbarino plants, Sorghum and Inn
phee, than hitherto.
On the WHOLE Iowa seems to be on the right
track, and if she will keep clear of red-dog
banks and not attempt to get rich By running
in debt, she viii do.
New-York daily tribune., 1861-06-08

While we do not wish in the slightest manner
to discourage the patriotic effort of any citizen
of the present time, it seems to us but an act Of
justice to the public to say that the Hon.
ID. L. Sickles 10 not au officer in the service Of
the L. s. Government that he has not yet re-
ceyed commission as Brigadier-Genera, nor is
il at all certain that no will receive one; and
above all, and this we say on the authority Of
the Secretary OF War, he has no power what
ever to make contracts for clothing, arms, pro-
visions, or anything else, which shall bind the
Government. We deem it the more proper to
soy this, because we know that such contracts
have been offered in various quarters. 1t should
be understood that Mr.. Sickes alone is respon-
sible for the payment of parties who may deal
with him. We do not mean TO imply that this
responsibility is not ample; but simply that it is
not the responsibility OF the Government.

From Cairo, we learn that Gen. Prentiss sent
on Thursday, two companies TO ElliOt's Mills,
KY, ton miles from the former place, where the
Rebels had established camp. When the troops
reached tie spot, however. the enemy had fed
--as usual. Col. Wcklihe called on Gen. Prem
tiss, and protested, on the part of Kentucky
sgsiost tue occupation Of her soil by Federal
troops. The General assured him that hs should
aarch in whatever direction, and on whatever
sod the Government ordered him TO march, and
with this reply the Rebel enlisssry was forced
10 be content.

II is said to he decided that the Wheeling
Convention will not undertake. to separate tho
western from the eastern portion Of the State,
but will establish Provisional Government.
The first act will be to depose Gov. Letcher and
bis kindred officers; in his place another Cover
nor will be named, probably Gen. Jackson Of
Pafhersburg; the Convention viii then declare
that Eastern Virginia is in rebellion against the
General Government, and will call on loyal citi-
rens to aid in sustaining the UniOn the Legis-
Iature chosen on the 2Sd of May viii be de-
elared the leeally-clectsd body, and Senators

that the Convention will be one Of the most

this country.

One Of the two columns which marched on
Phihppi was led by Col. Lander. The natural
cool intrepidty of this officer under the mort try
ing circumstances, and his dashing bravery when
brilliant attack is necessary, aided by his love
Of romantic adventure, and his chigalric sense of
soldierly honor, make him one Of the i:test men
for the times. He is certain to be in the front
rank in action, and will be frequently and favor
ably heard of in the course of the war;

Some days sgo it was reported that the COM
mander of the Rebels opposite Williamsport had
proposed TO the Home Guard at the latter place
to withdraw the pickets of both parties, prom
ising on his honor to attempt no attack on n
certain ferry y-boat-promisiDg also by implication
not to make any hostile movement. We now
learn that one of the mean things in which these
fellows delight was done q day or two since.
Two boys we're induced to cross from Williams
port; as soon as they reached the other side,
their boat was seized ard destroyed aud they
were carried off to the Rebel camp.

The details Of the affair at Philippi, the other
day. show that il was a great achievement on
the part Of our troops. They made most severe
march all night through the rain and mud, arriy-
ing 10 the gray of the morning at the Rebel
camp. The enemy, stupefed by stolen drink,
AID having no pickets thrown ont, were taken
completely BY surprise. They fed in dire cOnftl-
sion. leaving behind them everything. 1t appears

II ia stated in several journals that Mr.. James
T.. Harvey, latelys Washington correspondent Of
Tie North Amcricon Of Philadelphia and Of Tie
TRIBUNE, and recently appointed Minister TO
Portugal, is proved by the originals of tele-
graphic dispatches seized in tho several Offices
by the Government to have forwarded im-
portant intelligence from Washington at sundry
times 10 Judge Msgrath and others among the
traitor authorities Of South Carolina. We learn
from the best authority that this report is per-
fectly correct Among these reasonable connu-
nicstions was one informing the insurgents that
Fort Sumter was to be reinforced; he aso
sent special dispatch 10 assure Wapath
that he had no connection whatever with
The TRIBUNE. Mr.. Harvey will of course

to say, lie should be, and We have right
10 presume that what ought to be done will
be-. Mr.. Harvey il a native Of South
Carolina, though for long time resident
OF Washington or Of Philadelphia. We believe
the influences that gave him official position were
entirely Pennsylvania. The Times dispatch says
that Mr.. Harvey was appointed because Of his
prOiessed devotion to the Free-SOl party" II
is due to truth to say that We are not aware of
any such professions on bis part. Mr. Harvey
supported tho election of Mr. Lincoln, nt least at
The North, but if he made any decided Free-Soi
professions, they were unheard by us. AT all
