The Harvest IN WESTERN New YORK;
The Rochester Union says that the wheat
harvest is actively going on in that section,
in localities where the grain is most for
ward. Considerable has already been cut
and with fair weather, by the close of this
week the largest part of the wheat will be
in the sheaf Here and there we hear Of
the rust and the weevil, but as rule, the
report is favorable and fair crop is antici-
pated. The winter barley is mostly Sc
cured III good order and with a fine yield in
promise. Wheat and barley will probably
rule low in price. Millcrs and maIstcrs do
not want to offer anything like previous
rates for grain to be brought i'll. The
spring grains and other crops arc looking
very fine and the husbandman who attends
to his crop will probably be well repaid in
quantity and quality, though he may not
receive high price as he may have antici-
patcd when he sowed.

A CHATTER TO CoME-Our dispatches yes
terday intimated that President JohnsOns
message to the next Congress would recon-
end Congress to withhold admission from
all States that do not provide III their CON
stitutions for a general suffrage irrespcc-
tive of color In so doing, President John
son will place himself fully in harmony
with the loyal sentiment of the country,
which is Justly alarmed at the dangers in
volved in reconstruction on a purely rebel
basis. If the Presidents policy grows
merely out of desire to give the former
voting population of each State an oppor-
tunity to admit the new element. subject
to such reasonable and fair limitation as
may seem proper to each State and to Con-
gress, but coupled with the reservation
that until they admit the new element TO
the polls, they shall not themselves resume
their seats i'll Congress- it will receive the
Endorsement of candid men, We hope TO
be able to sustain SO wise an administra-
tive policy The President is well aware
that there is the utmost personal good will
towards his administration, on the part of
all those whose criticisms have been drawn
forth by his policy Of reconstruction 50 far
as developed. He can hope for no Grmer
supporters in all those policies which mnst
make up the general tenor Of his admins
tration, than he will find in the advocates
Of negro suffrage as an offset TO rebel sut-
frage and as policy of Justice 1t is be-
cause they are his friends that they speak

A Coon Use For REBEL GoLD.-When Is
ham G. Harris was Governor of Tennessee,
and the will of Jefferson Davis was law in
the State of the patriotic ParsOn Brownlow,
the treasury was well supplied with the old
metal coins of Uncle Sam. When the State
was captured by the Union troops, Harris
incontinently vamoosed, taking the specie
along. Gen. Upton followed the fugitive
rebel and captured the bulky freight. The
runaway escaped, but the gold was return
ed to Nashville When Brownlow exchan-
ged the editorial chair for the gubernatori-
al station, he decided to convert the gold
into United States bonds. This has just
been done by Jay Cooke. The specie,
amounting to half million of dollars, was
sent to the east, converted into seven-thir-
ties, and the bonds forwarded to Nash
vile. No rebel gold since the first secession
of Southern State, has ever been appro-
priated to better use. The State of Tennes-
see is now bound by link to the great
government from whose central power she
derives all her influence

to procure the names of all Pennsylvania
soldiers who perished at any or all of the
rebel prisons, and who were buried at such
localities Wherever the marks correspond
with the records of the prison, and there is
no doubt of the identity Of the remains, the
same will be published, and at the proper
time transportation will be issued for the
removal of the bodies Active efforts will
at once be made to gather all the facts Of
Importance in connection with the Pcnnsyl-
vanians buried at Andersonville. \ State
agent will be despatched to that locality
fully instructed to examine the condition Of
the graves, secure full particulars concern
ing their marks, and make such other ar
rangements as will facilitate the remains
with the least possible trouble to the sur
viving relatives of the dead aud as little

The CHoLERA.-There seems to be no
doubt, but that the Cholera has again COM
menced it's periodic scourge For the mo-
ment, fears of the Russian plague has given
place to this new pestilence. The Levant
Ledina give a frightful account of the raw
ages of the epidemic now raging at that
city and Mecca. 1t takes the form both of
typhus and cholera. On the eve of Conban
Bran, and during the first and second days
of the feast, this terrible scourge carried
off no less As, 900 victims amongst the pill
grims, and though the intensity of the
plague is somewhat abated, multitudes
still perish. The inhabitants have fled and
the streets are filled with corpses. OF the
Persian pilgrims alone no less than five
thousand have fallen victias, amongst
whom is the sheik Mira Hachim, who.
saint though he was reputed to be, has per-
lshed with the whole household, composed
of ten persons. Sheriff Abdallan Pacha has
taken refuge at Taft and the Governor
General, Vedji Pacha, after having lost
son and daughter, has himself fallen dan
gerously ILL.,
1t has also appeared in Alexandria,
Egypt, causing 10000 deaths, among a
population of 100000 inhabitants 1t
seems to have selected the latter city in
preference to Cairo, city far more filthy
and dirty and in more fit condition for the
prevalence of a pestilence Great fear has
sprung up along the Mediterranean in an
ticipation of its further spreading and all
needful precautions has been taken to guard
against its introduction into its many west
ern seaports. But these precautions do
not usually succeed. The disease obeys
no known law but proceeds where it list

HE GRAssHoPPER PLAGUE IN MINNESOTA
The Minnesota papers give gloomy accounts
of the ravages of grasshoppers in that
State. Forsaking the prairies, they have
recently commenced flying and alighting
in the timber known as the big Woods, ;"
and there is every probability that they
will pass through and beyond it, and sweep
the southwestern part of the State In the
counties of Renville, Brown Blue Heart,
Nicollet, LIE Sueur and Scott there will be
an average of One-half the crops left to har-
vest, and hardly be enough vegetables left
for seed Corn has been less injured thus
far than any other crop and wheat has suf-
tered most.
In Henderson there is hardly plant OF
weed left, and the naked lots tell SORROW
full tale of the desolation of the plague
Currant bushes and young fruit trees and
shrubbery of every kind have not only been
stripped of foliage, but of bark also. Iii
some fields of wheat they have entered
they have simply cut a straight swath of
several rods width through clean to the
ground, never deviating from direct line,
and leaving the remainder untouched
They deposit their eggs in small sacks in
the warmest and loosest earth during Aug
ust and through Autumn, and the number
laid by single grasshopper certainly
reaches into tfties or hundreds. AS soon
as the earth warns in the spring they
hatch out-maturing in about two months,
when they strip themselyes-body and
legs--of their old skin and come out schoon-
er-rigged and full sails, The wings at first
are very tender, but forty-eight hours of
exposure prepares them for their journey

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The Union State Central Committee has
fixed upon Thursday, August 18th for hold
ing the Union State Convention. The time
originally named for holding the Conven-
tion was considered by many of the best
men of the State, as being too early, and
consequently later day has been agreed
upon.
We learn from the Telegraph, that "dur-
ing the proceedings of the Union State Cen
tral Committee, it was particularly urged
that each member thereof recommend the
necessity to his constituents ofhaving their
districts represented by the very ablest del
cy;;trS. The Importance of the approach
ing contest must not be deprecated nor
must the Union men of the State shrink
from nlrcting any or all of the great issues
which have and will continue to grow out
of the proper adjustment of our domestic
affairs. Inspired by an ardent attachment
for the country, the Union men of Pennsyl-
vania must also yield to the control of pure
principles, in which not only the welfare of
their localities is involved, but on the sue
cess of which the future dignity of the Gov
ernment and the prosperity Of the whole
country depend"
The people of this State expect the Union
State Convention to speak oSt plainly and
frankly as regards the great questions OF
public policy, the proper settlement OF
which they regard is being 50 necessary for
the future prosperity and peace Of the coun,
try. Any attempt, through unworthy COW,
ardice, or mistaken considerations of policy
to evade bold avowal of the principles
which actuate the Union Party of the State
will prove unfortunate.
We have already suggested the propriety
of selecting as one of the candidate to be
presented for the suffrages Of the people
some person who represents the Soldiers o
the State We will leave for others to sug
gest the the proper person, but we trust thai
the Importance of such selection will not bt
overlooked. Justice to our brave soldiers
demands such public and tangible recog
milton of their services, and such mani
festation of our appreciation of their brave
ry and devotion to the Union.
