route from Madison did not look very
promising, we being OF a night train.
Early morning brought MS in thevicin-
ity Of the Mississippi, and for the first
time we began TO realize what signified
''the bluffs" an expression so often
used regarding Great West. On either
side of the Father Of Waters, for all
the distance we have travelled IL, and
we are told for many miles below and
above our triiling range, rise, in gen.
eral, flush from the shore, sometimes
AT moderate angle, sometimes in a
series of Jagged .ascents, again in a
long tedious slope, and at times III
bold, perpendicular lodges, series OF
rocky banks, ranging in heighth, say
from two to FIVE hundred feet, though,
in the main the elevation. whatever
it may be, is singularly uniform, as Is
also the formation of soil and rock,
and the combination Of general
features, verdure, forest and foliage.
Sometimes, as is the case in the vicin-
ity of Prairie du CHEN, the rock = in
variably of dingy red color-crops
out in regularly extended ledge, OF
uniform thickness, about midway be-
tween the base and the summit OF the
bluff, and again, though usually with
less regularity, at the top; often it juts
out upon the brow of some grassy,
steeply sloping hill of unusual heighth,
in huge masses, having every form
which the imagination can ascribe to
ruined fortress, tower, castle, or habi-
tation; in many instance distance gives
them the form of modern dwellings,,
while the general make of the land,
and tho character Of its forests and
verdure the trees being scattered like
orchard trees, the sod smooth and
even and the slopes graceful and nat
ural; gives much of the country the
appearance of habitable, cultivated
region. Some peaks rising in easy
conical form, to great heighth, are
cut, as it were, square down on the
river side, presenting the face OF per-
pendicular wall of rock, many of these
have q name and fame in the eXtrav-
agant traditions of the red skins, but
we have barely time and space for
reasonable matter r-of-fact generaliza-
ton, letting alone romance, and we
venture thus prematurely on the de-
scriptive that the work, however poor
ly done, may be speedily off our
hands. The villages and cities on the
river are located at the foot Of ravines
leading from the bluff in what are
called coolies, plateaus Of greater OF

McGregor, of no extent to speak of,

The CRoPs IN CANADA.-A Canadian
gentlemen furnishes the n. Y. Com
mercial -4drertiser the following state
ment in regard TO the crops Of Upper
and Lower Canada The crops this
year will prove to be the largest ever
harvested in Canada, and the yield
will be of very fine quality. The fa-
vorable spring, with genial rains, and
tho fine harvest weather, have done
wonders this season, and the general
trade of the Provinces have received
an impetus, such as has not been ex-
perienced since 1856. The crop of
spring and winter wheat is unusually
large in most of the districts, with the
exception of small tracts which have
been effected by midge. A large
breadth of land has been sown to peas
this year, and the sample is very fine
with more than an average yield
Owing to the high prices paid for bar
ley the past three years the farmers
have given their attention 10 the cul-
tivation of this grain, and have sown
larger area than any previous year,
which has been harvested in fine con-
dition. In reference to the crop it is
something wonderful both as regards
the quality, as such a yield per acre
has never been known either in Up
per or Lower Canada, and it is csti-
mated by the best judges that it will
exceed 10000, 900 bushels as COM
pared with any other previous season.
The crop of rye is good and the sam
ple tHe, with the average area sown.
There is also a very fine crop of oats,
more than average, while the grain is
of excellent quality. r.

The Tennessee election resulted in
the return Of three Brownlow men

vative to Congress-. There was no
trouble at the polls. The law dis
franchising majority of the voters of
the State, and which was enacted for
the purpose of retaining the State
under the control of tho Brovnlow-
ties. was strictly observed There
was no employment ior the troops Of
General Thomas ON the day of cleo
lion, and he had too much respect for
himself, for decency and law, to at
tempt such interference with the cleo
ton as was tried by General Palmer
in Kentucky. A Tennessee cores
pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial
now informs us that certificates of
election will be withheld from all but
tho Brownlow members The election
was farce as far rs obtaining the
expression of the majority of the peo-
pie of the State was concerned, and
now that it has resulted disastrously
to those who endeavored to control il
by trickery, it is very natural that
they should seek to shield themselves
from the defeat suotained by them in
Withholding certificates of the election
of their opponents. Lay members
and non-professors in. the abolition
party, when elected Governors, have
shown themselves capable of enga-
ging in rascally work, but Brownlow
