Toe news is that another change of
commanders in the Army of the Potomac
has been made. Gen. Meade succeeds
Gen. Hooker, the latter being relieved sat
his own request"
The fact OF a change will probably not
take the country greatly by surprise, mas
much as there has tor good while pre-
vailed a misgiVing as to whether Hooker
was the Fright man in the right place. ("
Ever since the battle of g ancellorsVille he
has been under cIOUd-just like his pre-
decessors, if not more SO.
Gen. Meade is a regular army officer of
some distinction. He commanded the
Pennsylvania Reserves on the Peninsula
10 McCIeIIau's campaign, We believe, and
succeeded to HOOker's 5th Army Corps
when that officer was promoted.
Who knows but what we have found
the Napoleon of the war at last? just in
the niche OF time! One by one we have
been trying them all, and all have been
failures thus far. tt is not likely that g
man 80 comparatively unknown to the
world would have been selected unless be
had given evidence to the military manage.
ment of some striking qualities. He prob.
ably has had all the experience of the wal

things right along. What else can bt

as fast as old ones are exploded. In thu

Of the Government, and prevent its failure
and overthrow, most certainly the leglsla-
tive authority of the nation has the sover-
eign and ,unquestiouable right SO to declare
and SO to enact It does not pertain TO the
judiciary to question the propriety of the
exercise of its undou6ted discretion on
the subject"
The doctrine maiutained iu those cases
is, that the powers granted by the people
of the States to the general government,
aud embodied in the Constitution, are SUI
preme within their scope and operation,
and that this government may exercise
these powers in its appropriate depart
ments free aud unobstructed By any State
legislation or authority. That within this
limit this government is sovereign and in.
dependent, and any interference by the
State governments tending to the inter-
ruption of the full legitimate exercise OF
the powers thus granted, is in conflict

makes the Constitution and the laws oil

'the supreme law of the land"

PennsvIvanin.


Pennsylvania is certainly not covering
herself with glory just now Her conduct
since the present invasion of her border is
a subject of remark, reproach aud rebuke
in all the loyal States. The papers far and
near, including some Of her own, have a
word of bitter comment upon her want of
spirit. Says the N. Y. Tribune of yester-
day:
1t does begin to seem as if nothing
could rouse the people of Pennsylvania
into courageous activity. For a week
the rebel army has been steadily advance
ing into the heart Of the State Der towns

ital threatened, yet no passion s;irs the
sluggish blood of this unworthy race to
any noble purpose. Reused they certainly
are, bot the excitement ia wholly of fear,
and the only thought is of retreat
There are troops 10 Harrisburg but few of
them are from Pennsylvania. Whatever
resistance they may be able to make to
to .EwelI's entrance will be purchased
by the blood of other StAtes than that
whose chPitsl is to be fought for in the
streets aud on the banks of the river which
still Loyalty flows in the enemy's front.
The news last night indicates that the
above comments and appeals of the Tribune
and other papers have not been in vain.

ou,tcropP Prospects.

1t appears that Notwithstanding the war
there has been very large increase in the
amount OF land put under cultivation
Should the present promise of the harvest
hold good, The very heavy crops of last
year will be largely increased thisyesr.-
We have more winter wheat, rye, corn.
oats, potatoes, sorghum and cotton; and as
large crop of Spring wheat and grass
The exceptions to this rule are those States
which are rayished by war, Kentucky for
instance, Western Virginia and Maryland'
Ohio is also behind the promise last
year, doubtless because lis industry has
been diverted from agriculture to manu-
featuring, process which has been going
on for years, and which the warts render
ing more marked. The quiet of last Spring
in Missouri has been improved by the far
mers, who have soWn largely of all the
products peculiar to that State.
The most striking increase this year will
be in Nof$hern grown cotton and sorghum.
There are t6us acres Os cotton planted in
the Northern States this year where there
Was one last year. Among the States
growing cotton are Minnesota and Michi.
gan. In Illinois eight acres of cotton
have been planted where one acre was last
year 10 Kansas the increase is nine fold,
zA10AeSu8 E4g1OIGsg3 AGuIQShla 4A0
Missouri will also double their product.
But the most important increase will be
in the growthof sorghum. Last year the
people Of the Northwest in a great meas
ure dispensed with the molasses and syrup
of the tropical sugar cane, bat this year
there is = prospect that they not only have
enough for the home market but will be
able to send soBe of it East. AS yet there
has not been much sugar made from this
home product, bpt there is every reason &c
believe that be68Ve three years pass away
enough sugar and molasses will be pro.
duced in the North to make us independ-
ent of Havana and New Orleans. >g.--g

shilling straw bats, sure Indication that
they had been instructed to vote for the

Union citizers of the place, by calling
them d-3 Black Aholitionists, daring them
TO remove the labels from their hats, when
a Union citizen did remove the label from

became general, some thirty or forty being
engaged in the fight, with 6rickbats, clubs,
