THE CRoPs.-We have bad reports of
crops for this region of country. this week
A few weeks ago we could see or hear of
nothing that was not cheering to the farm
er. Two weeks ago last Tuesday we went
to Leavenworlh. Then the corn, potatoes,
etc., looked well. Every one thought
these crops We're safe. In two weeks we
returned to find a great and cad change.
We could scarcely believe our own eyes
Fields of corn were completely burned up
There were two Weeks Of dry, hot, scath-
ing weather, which had ruined many fields
beyond the help of rain. The, stalks and
blades are dead. We are glad to know that
this is not universal. There sre still many
fields that promise something, if rain comes
within a few days. But it must come
quick. We have seen some fields where
the biggest crops have been raised hereto
fore, that no amount Of rain can Benefit.
We are glad to know that this dtouth is
not very extensive. From Burlingame to
Leavenworth the crops are good also from
Coney county to the Eastern border. We
also still hear good reports from Virdigris,
Walnut, Whitewater, and the Northwestern
part of the State. The hot; dry weather of
the last two weeks has done the mischief
here. Up to that time our prospect WAS
indeed aattering and cheering. If there
had been few good showers, all would have
been we'll yet; but as We said before, il
there is not rain within a few days there
will be no corn, hay or Potatoes here.
The farmers lay the blame of this failure
of the corn crop more to the extreme
drouth last fall than to a lack of rain this
season; and some even date back as far as
so, and say the ground has never been
thoroughly wet since then.
The wheat was secured before the dry
weather, and is good.

There was considerable talk at Isayeh-
worth among the 100 days men whe n
they arrived there, about the manner ia
which the regiment had been raised and Of
fcered. We heard Sam Wood get off the
following, which is too true to be lost
"'God matte the cou utry-man the city,
says Vaughan of the Times. In reference
to the 100 days men, it is TRUE that the
country comes up with their entire quotas,
but what is singular, the city furnishes al
most the entire regimental officers. Only
che of these officers came from South of
the Kaw, and he from Lawrence. Only
two from outside of Leavenworlh. The
country is asked to furnish men that city
tops, who haze rot patriotism enough to en-
list as soldiers. may obtain positions. He
said that the officers of this regiment were
an outrage upon the State. H proposed TO
get up a regiment of officers in Leayen-
worth, none of whom were to rank lower
than Captain. Company officers had gaf-
lantly come forth from the city to officer
the companies from the country, but the
hardy yeomanry from the country swore
they would elect their own officers or 90
home"
Sam reflected rather hard on his friend
Governor Carney. We hope all has been
ami .ably arranged before this.

Z, 18th Kas. Cav, who are still at that
place. In this company, there are about
sixty Lyon county boys. They have a
comfortable and we'll arranged camp, and
enjoy themselves well. The boys seem to
be great favorites with the people of Law
renee. Capt. John Walker, Cd Lett. C..
S. Smith and Orderly Sergeant Kits are all
from this county. They are good officers
and all deservedIy popular with their men.
They have earned their promotion by act

great favorite with the boys. He is not
only good officer, but one of the best and
most substantial men. Lyon coEnty can
well be proud Of such men.
