extent enjoys fine breeze, is very healthy,
and not SO bad place as they had supposed,

ERoM CHICAGO.
Chicago, August LIN my dispatch of Sat
urday night, in regard to the crops am made
to say the opposite OF what intended, by the
omission OF line Or two, probably by the op-
orator. | wrote that throughout Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Northern Illinois to the line
of tn, Mississippi & Missouri Railroad the
crops had suffered little or nothing from the
storm, while in Southern Illinois, Southern
Iowa and Missouri the damage was serious,
particularly to wheat l may add that har.
vest prospects are daily improving IN those
districts where the damage has been the most
serious, and that as a whole, the product of
the coming harvest will be immense.
