Tho crons or tha countrr-

From all portions of the West, Wiscon-
sin, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois and Michi-
gan, we have the most encouraging re-
ports of the appearance of the crops, and
the promise they give of an abundant
harvest The winter wheat in Illinois
never looked better, and the amount sown
this year greatly exceeds that of any pre-
vious one The farmers of that State are
also planting large quantities of tobacco,
the most of which has been contracted for
in advance at pretty round figure. The
Indications of an abundant fruit crop are
also numerous. The peach, apple and
pear trees are loaded with blossoms, and
unless nipped by an untimely frost, must
give an immense yield. The recent rains
have helped the growing process amaz-
ingly, and in silent thankfulness every
field and tree and flower seems vieing for
maturity and greenness From southern
Indiana and Illinois especially come en-
couraging reports of the extensiveness
and promise of the wheat crop, with now
and then fear expressed that the lack of
harvest help is likely to be source of
anxiety and Inconvenience But with all
the wheat aud fruit which, from the pres
ent appearances of the crops, we viii
probably possess, there will be none too
much for the support of our large army,
and to supply the demand from abroad.
For with war there is always waste; and
allowance must be made for frost and
blight, which would materially change
the present cheering prospect.
In New Jersey large yield of fruit is
anticipated, and in the central counties
the wheat prospects are abundant. From
New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland
we have the same favorable estimates of
heavy crops In the two latter States the
planting has been somewhat interfered
with owing to the unpropitious weather,
but on high grounds the indications ofan
abundant harvest are numerous. In
Kentucky and Ohio the farmers report
the most fiattering prospects for the ceri-
ais, and of fruit there will be an uncom-
mon abundance. Unless some unforeseen
disaster intervenes, we may expect one of
the richest harvests that has bles-
sed the land for years.

Another GrIevance OF the Rebels.

- @--~
Richmond journals announce the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Cridland, once British
Vice-Consul at Richmond, to be Consul
at Mobile. They are greatly outraged at
the discovery that Mr. Cridland sis ac-
credited to Mr.. Lincoln, not to Mr.. Davis,
and his credentials bear recent date"
Mr.. Cridland is doubtless accredited to
the Government of the United States. not
to Mr.. Lincoln, as the Richmond Whig
erroneously says and we cannot see how
he could be.accredited in any other way.
Is "Mr. Davis" Government? What
is the use or the sense of accreditipg q
consul to "Mr Davis" when the State of
Alabama, where he is to reside, may at
any moment say that it has no concern
with Mr.. Davis.
Suppose the rebellion successful, even;
and "Mr Davis" omnipotent south of
Mason aud Dixon's line-to whom is
Earl Russell to send consul for Mobile 2
If there is any sense or meaning in the
doctrine Of "State sovereignty" Mr..
Cridland should be accredited, in that
ease, to Governor Shorter, of the soTer-
eign State of Alabama.

The FosIInEIn the South,


The New Orleans correspondent of a
New York paper says that two meetings
of planters have lately been held in New
Orleans, and that they have decided to
take efficient measures to aid in the res
toration of the Government of the Union
in that State. The writer says:
Everywhere Union spirit is
gaining in power, and the Union party
in numbers and strength 1t is not too
much to say that within the next six
months the State of Louisiana will be
added to the Union, represented by n
Government of loyal men, covering the
whole territory of the State, and that five
members of Congress will be elected by
the people"
The Washington correspondent of the
Journal Of Commerce says:
''The rumor is quite current that there
are many in the south demonstrating
themselves in a party who would be glad
to come back under the old flag at once.
They know, moreover, that by sending
delegations to Congress from tho States
now in rebellion, they with the conserva-
tive party at the North would have entire
control of the houses of Congress. But
the partisan leaders are in the way, and
they know not what to do or how to real
ize their wishes"
