SUGAR CREEK rp., CEDAR Co., Iowa, May 81

MEssRs. EDITORS: In your dottings by the
way, you made one very large mistake con-
corning the wheat crop. The prospect for q
crop in this settlement has not been so poor
since Iowa was first settled. 1t is thought
it is nearly all gone up. The greater part of
it is entirely destroyed by the Hessian fly. 1
saw a gentleman, yesterday, who resides
some miles north of Upton. He said the
crop for 20 or 80 miles round was considered
gone up. 1t is thought there will not be
enough wheat raised for seed and bread.
The corn crop does not appear to be very
promising. The greater part of the corn is
planted, but appears to be doing but very
little good under the present circumstances.
The future prospects of the farmers look bad.

THURSDAY, June 8.
Financial matters continue quiet. Eastern exchsug
is quiet and ste.Iy at per cont. premium.
In view Of the fac. that thu country has been flooded
with Eastern currency. much Of It entirely worthless
movement has been made the part Of the Chicago
banks to place all Eastern currency at discount and
make Treasury notes the standard currency. 1t has
not yet been decided what currency shall bs thrown
out but as the subject has been preached trust the
banks will not let alone until cmething safe and sat.
isfactory has been done which will prevent the pos
sibiity Of another "stump tail" The banks gen.
orally in the opinion that Indiana, Ohio, Iowa
and few OF the current banks of Illinois would b safe
currency, they we'll secured, and are within
reasonable distance from Chicago, but that New Eng
land New Jersey and the greater part Of PennsylvAnis
currency should be sent home.
Anew counterfeit 50 bill has made its appearance In
Chicago the Williamsburg City Bank. The forgery
Is good imitation Of the genuine bill and well salcu
lated to deceive.
COMMERCE..
THURSDAY, June s.
The receipts Of produce have been very fair. More
grain has probably come into the market during tho
past week than during any previous week for time

Prices have declined som what in consequence Of Q
decline in the St. Louis market. Although tho rail-

prices in Chicago will not warrant higher figure for
wheat than 60c.

A Coop SELL.- Last night some little boys
obtained the corpse of a defunct rat and con-
cealing themselves behind fence, by means
of string, would draw it across the side
walk in front Of any person who might DO
passing by. In the dim light it looked ex-
acty like manned 'vermin,' sinking behind
the fence to die. Naturally the person seeing
it would endeavor to put an end to its exist
ence and would, therefore, make some pro-
digous jumps to crush it. No sooner would
he place his feet upon the animal, however,
then with screams Of laughter the little ras-
calls would jump from their concealment and
fix up for new victim. The "sold" would
usually stop at short distance and enjoy
hearty laugh at the expense of their next fel-

A Word Of Appreciation from

While the chief European journals do littl'
! else than pour out vitriol and vinegar in re-
gard to American affairs, 1t is gratifying t.
find occasional instances of truly liberal and
appreciative spirit. We find marked exam
pie Of the kind in the Paris Presse of the Stn
inst, one of the ablest of the Paris journals,
and since NJ. Girardin assumed its editorship,
conspicuous for its just and intelligent judg-
ments on American affairs. 1t thus takes to
task those French and English journals whose
secessionist sympathies blind them to the
broadcast and most palpable facts:
"There are certain journalists whom the
events of tho past few months in the United
States have taught no lesson History has no
example of Government surprised as was
that of the United States bya conspiracy long
concocted by the very men to whom the ma
ton had confided its guidance, maintaining it
self and triumphing over its aggressors, while
at the same time respecting the Constitution
so completely. Obliged to create everything
armies, finances, adminstration-Mr Lin
coin, seconded by the energy of the American
people, has been able in less than year to
repel the attacks of those who wished to de.
stroy the unity Of the Republic. The rebels
in 1861 that in less than month
they would be in possession of the Capital of
the Union; Washington was to have been &C.
cupied by the LIST of April of last year; and,
indeed, it seemed as though nothing could |
prevent the accomplishment of this threat
And yet Washington has not been taken in
the whole course of the year, while on the
contrary, the rebel forces have been compelled
% beat retreat without having ever attempt
ID an attack. Driven, as they have been,
rom Kentucky, from Missouri, from Tonnes
zee, routed everywhere, compelled to concen.
rate sill their force in two great bodies, all
hat the Federals need now do, if they wish to
void bloodshed, is simply not to attack, and
he rebels will be compelled to surrender or
isperse for want of supplies. Now, this
vretched wreck of rebellion. utterly ex-
lausted and used up, is, by certain journals,
tut forth as stronger and stabler than ever"
