EmisratiOnIo Minnesota.

A correspondent Of the New York Eve
ming Post, writing from Antwerp, Belgium,
gives the following interesting information
in regard to emigration from that port:
The number Of emigrants who sailed from
Antw erp last year for America was but
small. This season, however, no less than
fifteen hundred have left this port for new
homes in the New World. They are al
most entirely from the interior of German
provinces, and are generally quite we'll off

dressed the Governor, and he accepted them.
The only favor they asked was to be armed
with with the old ,aint-lock ,muskets, such as
they used to to carry when they were young.
1t was grand inspiring sight !-those
old men, scarcely hoping to live through the
war, their locks white with the frosts Of
many winters. their frames bowed by age
and long toll in the journey Of life, marched
as brlskly and accurately, to the drum and
t1te, as any Of their grandsons could. They
seemed almost carried back to the oldeu
time, SO inspirited was the occasion. When
they came1out Of the Governors room thew
marched. according to the old fashion. in
single file. They were halted on the green:
1t was curious to modern ears to hear the
order Of the captain-so different from our
tactics. It was BY sections qof two:
march : instead o; file right or :let,' it
was right or left Wheel Instead of the
sharp, short, peremptors 'front.' it wa. left
face.' So they marched down in the town.,
carrying the old tactics Of the Revolution
with them. They kept their places, and
kept step and obeye1 orders with = preciis> i ,i
sion that showed that the drill they had
gone through in those stirring times had
gone not merely to the ear, but 10 the heart.
Wherever they passed q squad Of soldiers
they were loudly cheered- Three cheers
for the veterans of 1872 and such lusty
shouts as split the heavens you never heard.
They were observed BY every one, and 7omne
would ask who they were. Their bowed
forms, their gray heads, and the small and
decayed ensign, told the whole story

The " HEat Cnop IN IowA.-From evcrVv
portion of the State we hear the most cheer.
ing reports from the wheat crop. It will be
quite as large in most localities as last year,
and every farmer pronounces his crop to
look "fine." How the actual yield per acre
will turn out it Is impossible yet to say, but
from the best accounts we have, it seems
sure that it will, on the general average, fall
but little short in bushels Of last year,
which was large yield. At least such are
the reports almost unanimously given by tho
farmers themselves. The harvest will be
mostly over BY the end Of nc1t week, and
another crop will be ready to fill the gran
aries, which in many parts ofthe State are
yet well,filled with last years crop. sS<s.-
In the Minnesota Valley, as we before nos
ted, it is estimated that 10000 bushels Of
wheat are yetin store, after TT 900 had been
deported. supposing that the present har-
vest in the Valley yields as many bushels as
last year, that will give total ofabout $685.
600 bushels to export this fall, should the
water rise, for next spring. Our steamboat
men will have to bend oil their energies 10

National Hymn.
BY REV. r. H. STOCKTON.

I.
In the name Of Jehovah, our banner we raise,
With its stars and its stripes pledged anew to
His'praiss
IT is the ensign Of Truth, It is the standard OF
Right,
IT is the herald of Liberty, Union and Light.
And this flag of our fathers, in. Gods nar2c
Der their children shall wave to the end of
the world.
Ifit ever prove false to it's glorious trust, y.
May it's Toes drag it down with contempt to the
dust;
But as long as It is true to the blazon it holds.
Shall the arm Of Omnipotence bear up it's folds.
Here at home, with one sky and one land, let
it be
But the flag o: one people, harmonious ond free
From the north to the south, from the east to
the west,
With no treason to part us, no war to molest.
So abroad on all seas and all shores let it shine
AS the symbol of manhood redeem'd and d1
vine
That the down trod6en nations in triumph m ay
rise
With their feet on their chains and their brows
to the skies.
