NoN-REsIsTANT.-Though so great op-
position to the enrolment of persons La
bio to draft has occurred in our neighbor-
ing States-Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
as TO render a call on the military neces-
sary TO suppress armed resistance, the cit
liens Of our own State have allowed the
officers having in trust the enrolment to
perform their dnties unmolested, with a
few solitary exceptions, and seem rather
disposed to assist in the work than to
throw obstacles in the way Of its accom-
plishment. While we deprecate all mobs
and armed resistance to legal authority,
and especially in the present gloomy as
pect of our country resistance to the mi
atory step to the calling out of the mill
tary strength of the country to its defence,
we feel the moro pride that Michigan has
never manifested disposition TO shirk
in her duty to the government, in this
dark day of the republic. Our State has
done nobly. She has earned and enjoys
n fame for the brave deeds of her sons OH
every battle field that will need no mar

And what has been hitherto done by our

CRoPs IN THE NORTHERN STATES
Though the war has drained our country
of so vast q number of producers late re-
turns to the Agricultural Bureau, at
Washington, arc of the most gratifying
character, as relates to the crop prospects
in the States. ItappearS there is great
or quantity of land under cultivation this
year than last year. Cotton has been
planted as far north MS Michigan and Min
nesota, and in Illinois the success Of last
years crop has induced farmers to double
their efforts and eight times as much has
been planted this year as was planted last.
Indiana, Missouri and Kentucky double
the amount Of cotton planted last year,
and in Kansas the area covered with this
staple is nine times rs great as last year.
Sorghum is being cultivated West so OK
tensively as not only to furnish the home
market but afford a large surplus for the
Eastern market of sugar and molasses.
From tho Same report there appears to
be in the Northern States ten per cent
above the average surface of land in win
ter wheat, about an average in spring
wheat, n little moro thar an average in
rye, the usual quantity of corn, and
about thirty-soven and half per cent of
land in Sorghum. The appearance Of
the various crops, with tho exception OF
winter wheat, corn and oats-excepted to
fall fraction below the average yield
indicates better return than last year.
This report is most gratifying to every in-
dustria interest of the States and will be
read with great interest.
