The CRoPs.-Our farmers are now in active opera,
ton threshing their wheat and Oat crops There arc
large crops Of straw but it generally conceded that
we have but about twO-thirds of a crop of wheat
The grain of the OaI is very imperfect and the crop
is very light.
The growing crops Of corn upon high sound land
looks well and bids fair for satisfactory yield
while on low land the crop viii be very poor owing
to being water killed by the early summer rains.
The carly crops have also suffered very much by
the late drought, butt thelate refreshing rain will
doubtless revive the dropping corn and dropping
spirits of the farmers.

Important and Stringent Orders from the
War Department.
NO EvADING THE DRAFT, AND PUNISHMENT FOR Die.
CoURAGING ENL.IsTMENTs,


NO EvADISG THE DRAFT, AND PUNISHMENT FOR DIG.
! CoURAGING ENLsTMENTs.
An important order has Just been issued by the
War Department, which will seriously interfere with
the plans OF those who have calculated 10 escape the
coming draft by changing their locality. 1t directs
that until further orders citizen liable TO be draft
ed shall be allowed to go TO foreign country, and
all Narshals, Deputy Marshals, military officers and
Police authorities instructed see the order car
red into effect 1t also directs that any persons ill.,
bic to draft, who shall absent himself from his coun
y or State before the draft is made shall be arrest
ed wherever be may be found within the jurisdiction
OF the United States conveyed TO the nearest military
post or depot, and placed military duty for the
term of the draft The order also suspends the
writ of habeGs corpus with respect to all persons so
arrested for disloyN practices.
The War Department has also issued an order
with regard to the encouragement of voluntary en-
listments. 1t directs all United States Marshas and
Superintendcnts and Chiefs of Police to arrest and
lmprlson any person or persons who may be engaged
by act speech or writing, in discourag ing enlist
ments, or in any way giving aid and comfort to the
enemy, or in any other disoyal practice againt the
United States. Such persons are to be tried tmmc
dIately before Military Commission.
The order Of August 6th the most stringent ever
issued by the Government. But it is manifcsty
necessary to resort to it, in order that the draft may
be fairly and imp rtially put in execution.
The chief reason Tor issuing the new order was
probably the extra"rdnary = stampede from Balti-
more and other places, many of whose citizens,
especially the Scccssionists, began TO take and
steamboats, for distant parts and prepare o' visits
to Canada or Europe as the day for beginning to
draft approached. AS there would be manifest un.
fairness in letting the sympathizcr with the rebel
hon escape service that they especially ought to
perform, thus throwing it all upon the loyal citizens,
It was very proper that the order forbiddng depar.
lures from the country should be issued at once 1t
will, we presume, only remain in force few weeks,
as the draft will raise the required amount of new
troops in very short Time
