PENNSYLVANIA CRoPs.-Within few DAYS we
have passed through portions Of DauPbiD, Perry,
Juniata, MiGlin, Huntingdon, Blair and Bedford
counties, aud we noted particularly the prospects
of the growing crops. Fruit does not promise
abundanuy, still, in nearly all these counties, there
are more or less apples-in Huntingdon and Blair
fully half a crop OF plums, cherries and peaches,
there are few of the latter and of the former
The corn crop is backward, but there will be an
abundant Weld. Potatoes are also very promising.
The grain fields, however, look magnificent, ana il
nothing interferes the crop of cereals will be be-

Opening of the Campaign--Speeches of
Messrs. Conncss and EdgertOn--PrOs-
poets of tee Ticket.

YREKA, July o. 1851.
Mcssrs Conness and Edgerton were met at
the Forest House by a large number of citi-
zens in carriages and escorted into town.
The meeting last evening was very large,
delegations being present from all the towns
and villages in the county.
Mr.. Conness, after disposing Of charges
made against him by the Republican and IN
dependent press, made forcible and COM
vncing statement of the differences which
separated the Democratic and Republican
parties, showing Democrats that while it W as
their duty as patriots to sustain the Admin
istration in prosecuting the war to a success
full termination, they should at the same time
preserve their organization, adhere to the
principle of popular sovereignty as the basis
of final adjustment, and prevent the doctrines
of the Chicago platform from obtaining as
| cendancy.
Mr. Edgerton's speech was one of his best
efforts lie kept his audience for two hours,
while he pictured in eloquent and glowing
language the cause of the present rebellion
and showed the duty of Democrats in the
present crisis. During his speech he passed
an eulogy upon the character and patriotism
Of Mr. Douglas that for vigor of style and
force and elegance of language would have
done credit TO the ablest and most experienced
orator in the country.
At the close of the meeting Mr.. Ganahl,
an attorney in the town, address the audi
ence in favor of the Secession ticket. He
| placed the issues of the campaign fairly be-
fore his audience, sustained the seeded States
in their course, argued in favor of the right
and policy of Secession, denounced the war
as one of suhjugaton, and the acts of Mr.
Lincoln as tyrannical sand unconstitutional
and urged that, if his hearers should not vote
for the Secession candidates, they should vote
for the Republicans; for the Republicans
he said, were open and avowed eneLnies oI
the South, while Douglas Democrats were
enemies in disguise
This county is being thoroughly canvassed
The contest will be between the Union De
mocracy and the Republicans. There is a
small Secession element in the large towns
but the miners and farmers are all fer the
Union, 1t is conceded that the Union Demo-
cratic ticket will carry the county by plu-
rality of between six and eight hundred

RIDGE vs.. BALDWIN THE following from
the San Francisco Herald is sufficient to con-
vince any any one that the editor, our nomi-

Disunion Convention, remarked: Il am Tor
peace, for compromise for Reunion, for every
thing in preference to this horrible war, set
afoot ostensibly for the purpose OF preserving
the Union, but which must inevitably de-
stroy it forever"
In the language of Patrick Henry, "they
may cry peace, peace, but there is no peace
We too are for compromise, for reunion,
but not until the Federal flag floats over
every fort, every arsenal, every har6or,
every dock, and every potion of property
which has been wrested from the Govern

or by recognition Of their error on the part
of the combinations now in rebellion. Let
them unconditonally lay down their arms,
and acknow ledge the supremacy of the Fed

reunion or re construction be dreamed OF.
We would ask Judge Baldwin, who set this
war on foot? Who fired the first gun? ? Sun
ter's battered walls will reply; Pensacola
Navy Yard will answer officers and soldiers
overpowered whilst acting in obedience to
orders will respond, and the mutilated Stars
and Stripes, if gifted with power to speak,
would exclaim, Southern traitors"
If those who have sown the wind find now
that they must reap the whirwind, let them
remember that their best and truest friends
warned them of the impending fates and i'm
plored them by all that was sacred in the
past or valuable in the future, to pause and
consider. Regardless of decency, and reck-
less of all the high Interests at stake, they
plunged madly into this war, and absolutely
forced the issue upon the Government. Will

PrY TIE Poor OFFICE HoLDERsl-It is not
probable that Secretary Chase's proposition
for the reduction of salaries Of public officers
as a special war tax, will be adopted Where
salaries are too high they ought to be reduc
ed, but to propose such a reduction merely as
a means Of raising funds for war purposes, is
in effect TO establish an "income tax" on a
single class in the community; and would be
manifestly njust--Si0'onton'S Washington
letter 10 the Bulletin.
We hope the Federal officials hereabout
will promptly volunteer to pay into the War
fund of the nation, forty per cent. of their
pay, thereby rendering legislation in accord =
ance with Secretary Chases recommendation
unnecessary.

Defense of Judge Landrum.

The Shasta Courier of July 9th replies
to the charges against Judge Landrum as fol,
lows:
The Bulletin Of July 18th contains an at
tuck on the character of Judge Landrum, our
nominee for State Treasurer, which we pro-
nounce groundless in all respects save one,
and that is il reference to a certain weakness
which at one time occasionally manifested
itself in partiality for "toddies." We say
occasionally" for during an acquaintance of
nearly twenty years standing, We never knew
him to be schargeaOle with this vice; and
furthet, to eur certain knowledge, Judge L..
has strictly carried the scriptural injunction
of not tasting or handling the unclean thing
since the middle Of December, 1859.
The report of the Grand Jury in November,
1859, struck at the private character, and not
the official integrity of the Judge The Cou.
rier took this view Of the matter at the time,
and declined to publish the paragraph even
as Court news Hear the late General Dosh' s
view of this matter, published at the time,
and reproduced now On accoun Of its perth
nency:
Next to the concluding paragraph of the
Grand Jury's report we have omitted. 1t
strikes particularly at the private character
of a man of unimpeaehed and unimpeacha-
ble honor-the presiding officer of the Court
of Session. The charge reflects not in the
slightest degree against his official integrity
and yet it Is couched in severer terms than
those used in other portions of the report, il
reference to acts involving malfeasance in Of
fee. While, then, we do not mean to call il
question the honor and purity Of the Crane
Jury, we will refuse to make our journal in
strumental in spreading abroad paragraph
that can accomplish no end other than fixing
a stigma upon the name of man with but
one fault and many virtues The other per-
sonal illusions of the report involve malfeas-
ance in office, and hence we print them as
| Court news
The official integrity of Judge Landrum
has never been assailed, or even questioned
by any person in this county, and the charge
in the Balletin, on this head is a gross iatri-
cation and wilful misrepresentation. The
snme remark applies to his "oXpusion" from
Office, no such event having taken place, and
no one not animated with malice ever dream
ing of it.
In November, 1859, Judge Landrum was
single man, and exposed to all the tempta-
tions that the chaotic state of our society ex-
posed the incumbent of public Office; and it
is q we'll known fact that the Judge was on
this occasion the innocent dupe of designing
and malicious men.
The Judge married in the spring of 1860.
and is permanent resident of this county
all his interests centering here, he having
lived here since the summer of 5l-and du-
ring that entire time no charge can be alleg-
ed against him that has color of existence
in reality; and when we reflect that the Ex-
ecutve and Judicial Departments of our State
have been filled by gentlemen against whom
this same fault could be alleged with tolera-
ble success, we see no reason why Judge
Landrum should be ostracised through the
vindictive malice Of enemies.

The Pony news is good. We learn by it
that the forces of johnson which at one time
threatened to grow into formidable strength
| by reinforcements, and to attack p tterson,
had receded as the latter advanced, and final
ly Joined the main body Of the rebel army at
Manassas Gap Junction. The three great
divisions of our army were moving onward.
Gen. McDowell's forces were within three
miles of Manassas Junction, and had already
engaged with the rebels. Generals Patter-
son and Mcclellan were gradually coming to-
gether, each leaving the country behind him
free and clear of rebel membranes. The
probability is that enough was known at
Washington of the strength at Manassas
junction, to make the advance of Gen. Me-
Dowell upon that pretended stronghold en-
tirely safe. We may expect to hear of its
evacuatian by the next Pony The rebels
have thus far prudently fled before our troops
in Virginia, and as yet give no sign of a de-
sire to make final stand. They may try
and defend Richmond; but nothing so far
has been more apparent shan that they are
not ready for battle. Several gallant ex-
ploits by our troops are reported in Virginia
and Missouri. An attempt was to be made
by Republican Senator, to amend The tariff
