Interesting Statistics.


The publisher of The american Agrioultur-
;stE sent out blanks all over the country to col
| lect Agricultural and horticultural statistics,
the result of which is to publish monthly. The
aggregate of the first reports, is published in
the June number of The AgriculturiSt, from
| which we copy:
SUMMARY OF THE WHOLE COUNTRY.
| A-The weather averages nearly 9, or little
below the average of other years 10)-taking
into account its effects upon winter grain and
| fruit, and upon general farm operations. The
notes accompanying the reports speak Of the
weater as very backward, retarding spring work,
etc, but irst-rate for winter grain and fruit
| OfWinter Wheat the breadth growing aver
| ages fully tenth more than in 1861, and fully
one-third more than the average annual breadth,
| for period of several years.
The general prospects of Winter Wheat prom
Uses one-third above the average yield.
Spring Wheat-The surface sown this year
averages one-tenth more than last year, and
| eight-tenths more than the average annual
breadth for FIVE years past.
| The prospects for Spring Wheat are not quite
I equal to the average of other years
Indian Corn-The planting was not far enough
advanced on May 10th for those forwarding re-
ports to give full statistics, though many report
ed the probable number of acres planted and in
preparation. These indicate a surface about
equal to last year, but third more than the
annual average for five years past Much full
er statements will appear in the monthly reports
| hereafter.
Rye.-Surface sown, nearly the same as last
year. Prospects tenth better than usual.
! 0ats.-Surface sown little above the aver
age, and prospects nearly an average
Hay Crop Breadth growing and prospects,
rather above the average.

age prospects rather poorer than usual
! Fruit Reports almost universally good
The average indicates 3 double crop of apples
| for the whole country, and a threefold crop Of
peaches These are more indefinite estimates
than will be furnished next month.
| General Auerage The general average Of all
the figures given in our tables, including surface,
prospects, ETC., is 1876, one-fourth better than
| the average Of other years. Thia is more favor
able than we had anticipated, until we received
and complied the reports and read the notes &C.

WHAT SOUTHERN UNION MEN SAY.-Hon.
John A. Gilmore, Elk Governor of North Caro-
lima, who has stesdfastly maintained his adhe-
renee to the Union, made speech to a union
gathering in that state few days since, at
which time among other sentiments, he uttered
the following:
" This Siarcry question is the cause ofthis
tcar, and zee merer shall hare peace, until a grad
Hat emancipation measure as ad0pted.''
What will the Milwaukee Meas and Chicago
Times say to their political brethren down in
North Carolina. Can't they give them timely
warning to forbear meddling with the patri-
archal institution, for it is the corner stone up
on which the Democratic party hopes to rebuild,
and ultimately retrieve its lost fortunes
