mutual irritation and evaporation is ad-
mitted by all; and is this q moment at
which a successful offer of mediation is
likely to be made to either party.
I wish to guard myself against any ex-
preston of opinion as to the future. This
war has been so contrary to every expert.
ence that he would be bold man who
would venture to prophesy the state of at.
fairs month in advance. The country, 1
believe, is of opinion that the conduct of the
government has been wise and prudent. We
shall be happy at any time, if an opportu-
nifty presents reasonable prospect of doing
so with success, to assist in putting an end
to this desolating war. think it bad bet
ter be left in the hands of the government to
ia 'ge of the occasion as it arises. 1t is on
this account that do not enter into the
discussion as to the right of either side for
if at any time we shall be able to offer our
good Offices, it can only be as impartial par.
ties committed to no opinion 10 favor Of
either side, but only anxious to promote a
settlement as consistent as possible with the
interest and the feelings of both parties
therefore hope that the motion will be with
drawn.

Crops ~ Minnesota.

We copy the following communication
from the Chicago Tribune of Friday last:
have just returned from visit to Min
nesota. My business took me to point
forty miles into the interior from Hastings.
Through that entire distance, wherever the
fine rolling prairies of that section have
been brought under cultivation, the crops
are looking finely, and promise an abundant
harvest. Corn found considerably 10 ad.
vance OF the same crop in Northern Illinois
and Wisconsin. Of wheat, many intelligent
farmers expressed to me the opinion that if
the weather should prove favorable to the
proper filling of the kernel the crop would,
10 its average yield per acre, equal any crop
raised in that region since its settlement,
with the exception of the very extraordina.
~ one of 1860. A greater breadth of wheat
has been sown this year than ever before, aa
the farmers have learned that wheat is the
only grain that will bear transportation
from the State, at least from points at all
distant from the river.
The Minnes0tians are awakening to the
Importance of wool growing, and many fine
aocks of sheep have been introduced into
the region l visited, within the last two
years. l learned that at Faribault alone,
in Rice county, wool buyers had sacked this
season 81, 900 pounds, and more was COM
ing in daily. To very few of our States
will the clip of wool equal that of Mime
sofa in 1870.
