The following letter, communicating the sad
intelligence to the parents of our young friend
Jos. P. Dempsey, of his death, from the effects
of a wound received in . charge on the rebel
defences of Vicksburg, on the 22d, was written
by Oliver P. Posey. He was brave, good and
noble youth-the sympathies of our citizens are
with his bereaved parents:
Dear Friends !: 1t is with great sorrow
write you these few lines to inform you OF
the death Of your dear son Joseph. He
died yesterday, Friday, } the goth. A. no
one is here with the exception of Daniel and
myself. l feel it my duty to inform you OF
the melancholy event. He was wounded
whilst in the charge on the 29d, and receiv-
ed fatal shot-the ball entered his left
side and was taken out near the center OF
his back. For few days after he received
his wound we thought he would get well,
but after the 4th day be kept growing worse
until death relieved him from his sufferings.
AT the time Of bis death there were very
few boys present. for we did not expect him
to die SO soon the night before. all the
boys had been up TO see him. The las,
words be said were - .where is the COM
pany ?" Daniel says a few hours before
his death he talked of nothing but his moth
er. "Oh if 1 could just for moment see
my mother !" he exclaimed. We buried
him at IL o'clock Mon the 99th. When
We placed him in the grave all the Richmond
boys were present, and 60 not know Of
one but what she'd tears over the last of
dear friend--dear to all who knew him. -
He will be missed very much in the COM
pany; for he was loved by all and was one
who was always ready and willing to do
his duty. You know my feelings towards
him, for be was always as brother to me.

The Crops.
The Rushvills Republican saws:

The Rushvils Republican says:
From the best information we can obtain
We are compelled to say that the wheat har-
vest in this county will not exceed half an
average crop. Some fields are well set and
give prospect Of q fair yield, but they are
the exceptional cases. The majority of the
fields are thin, with large barren spots, and
the wheat not being on The ground, they can
not give large crop. however fav orable the
season may be hereafter. The thinness OF
the fields is accounted for by the unusually
dry weather last fall-the wheat did not &c,
good start. and was not well set before
the winter thaws.
On the other hand. the New ALBANY
Ledger says:
We continue 10 receive the most CHEERING
accounts from the growing wheat crop OF
Southern Indiana. The stalk of the grain is
healthy and Of good color. while many fields
are already in blossom. Harvest commences
in this section generally from the 26th OF
juno to the LIST Of July. and ifthere is no in
tervening bad weather the yield of whea
will be one Of the heaviest We have had for
several years past. The rye. barley, and
oats crops are also very promising.
The Vevay Reville says Of Switzerland

We are informed that the prospect for
good crop of apples and peaches. in this coun

withdrawal Of the 49th, prepared to charge
tie Goth over the ridge between the gullies;
but Col. Bennett ordered bayonets to be
fixed and prepared to receive the foe--com-
polling them to keep their hiding Places
The seth suffered much in Il csc movements;

This position was held by the 69ih with
out assistance for an hour and twenty
