The Crops in CIarlle County.

We hase had terribly wet and back
ward spring preceded by an unprecedent-
edly hard winter; but the prospect is not
80 bad for the harvest after ALL Of wheat
we have favorable accounts, predicting from
half crop to anaverage crop, according to
the tendency of the informant to hopeful
ness or doubt. There Is always more or less
croaking at this season over the crops, es-
pecially the wheat. which must be received
with allowance. Oats have suffered severe
ly by the late season, but will do pretty
well. Corn is not under way yet. OF grass
we shall have a bountiful crop; it is looking
finely. OF fruit, we shall raise this year
fair amount of apples, few cherries, and
berries i'm abundance. We held on for q
long time to the hope that q few peach trees
might have escaped the general visitation,
but it Is of no use-the destruction Is total.
We have personally seen one tree, on which
green shoots have made their appearance,
and there may be more; but we shall make
our arrangements to import our peaches
this year from New Jersey.-Springfetd

fellows here, and they were on that COM
mittee, who will tag at the White House
with unwearying importantly for consul
ships, postmasterships, and Heaven only
knows what, whose refusal to vote for this
complimentary resolution to Mr.. Chase was
based on grounds of the lowest self-interest
If Mr.. Lincoln himself does not despise men
who propel themselves on their bellies, and
do not understand the dignity of legs and
a perpendicular position, he ought never to
be reelected. Stupid as Mr.. ArchbOld's
reason for refusing to support the resolur
tion was, he can have. at least, the credit Of
preferring his party's interest-as he re-
garded tito his own.
l have given this matter 80 much consid-
Grafton, because think it due to the friends
of Mr.. Chase that they should know why
this apparently intentional slight was put
upon him. There is not one Of them, prob
ably, who will not cheerfully sustain Mr.
Lincoln for reelection If nominated at Bal
timore, but they can afford to remember the
men who, in as mean spirit as could pos
sibly control them, make them superser-
viceable in Mr.. Lincoln's BEHALF and refuse
to recognize Mr.. Chase's great services to
the country lest their own weak backs
broke down under the burden OF a compli-
ment.
