THE CRoPs AT THE EAsTwARD.-Accounts
from the British Provinces relative to the har-
vest are very unfayorable In Nova Scotia the
crops on interval lands, in the shape Of hay,
grain and potatoes, have in many instances
been all but totally destroyed Hundreds Of
tons OF cut hay have been carried away by the
feshets consequent ON the heavy rains. Even
on the uplands the loss will be heavy, as the
deficiency of sunshine has made hay-maklng
an unusually difficult task. The potato tops
are black or rapidly blackening in az direc-
1tions., The gTain crops are also IN sucn ru-
inoust condition that many OF the farmers con-
template rolling the straw in the ground to rot
/ for tnanure. IN New Brunswick the prospect
is equally diseouraging.

Att Democratic meeting held in the court
house on Saturday evening, the President of
the meeting, ON motion of B. f. Meyers, the

That Switzerland had her Wmkelreid, scot,

that the time 'wonld come when q monument

lti PoLTrcAL--Mr Henry j. Raymond declines
being candidate for reelection to Congress
J He occupies two columns in the Times in de-
Tending his past course. Inhis letter he claims
that he is and ever shall be a member of the
Union party, seeking its welfare, and striving
for advancement and reform, in everything
touching, the public good through its agency.
With the Democratic party, he says, he has
nothing in common, and should regard its re-
establishment in the government of the coun-
try, State or national, as public calamity In
regard to the use of his name as a candidate
for reelection, lie says:ai lffl D h,au 94
There are many considerations which would
render this unwise. My past action does not
command the approval of a large body among
those who originally gave me their votes; and
apart from such approval, 50 far as it can be
had consistently with proper independence of
personal opinion, a seat in Congress ceases to
have for me any attraction, or to offer any Op-
portunity for useful public service; and shall
best consult my own self-respect, as well as the
sentiments of my constituents and the interest
Of the Union cause, by withdrawing my name

il BEEeHBR TO BEEcHERARev Edward
Beecher, ID. D., .,ofGalesburgh ILL.,, has address,
cd letter through the Chicago Trihnne, to his
brother, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in reply
to the celebrated letter OF the latter npon the
question, of reconstruction. He charges that
that letter, implies this false assumption, that
there are some who are not in favor of speedily
restoring the seeded States. 1t is an argu-
ment against such" After critically review
ing it. he says:
~ Do not deceive yourself by the assumption
that the pecnlarity Of your position is that you
are in favor of theimmediate restoration of the
seceded States, and that herein you agree with
johnson and differ with the Republican party.
This assumption is nnfounded. The Repubii-
cans are as, much in favor of the Immediate
restoration Of the seeded States as you, or as
Johnson The point of difference is this:
johnson insists on admitting arist0cratic des-
potisms organized by the leaders of the rebel
Hon, clothed with peculiar and extraordinary
power, and lsubjeeting ordinary men to their
sway; and Congress does not In this antago-
nisrn on which side are you? There is no mid
die ground.i Are you against such despotism?
Then say SO boldly, and sdenounce them and
their authority as they deserve.

The Battle Field.

Oh, not alone in the tented field
A. armies pitched and battles fought:
The use o sword and well-worn shield,
ls not to every hero taught;
In OF lite are soldiers found,
In warfare deep, AID no discharge.
The din o battle, pibroch's sound,
AS leading on that vigorous charge.
The fight for daily bread may DO
AS noble in the sight of God,
As any march of victory
By Christian or by Pagan trod
Noble or abb ct, great or small,
Is not the one o'erruling test;
The motive is the rule Of all;
Honor to God the grand behest.
The battle field is everywhere
The foe at all times il our way:
Temptation, want, or care
The conflict wage from day to day:
And he who, in the gallant fight
Maintains his purpose firm and strong,
Who keeps his armor pure and bright,
Shall win the laurel leaf ere long.
Courage, faint heart, whose narrow life,
Fetter'd and dwarf'd .bp things of sense,
Whose soul would spurn the daily strife,
And pines for wings to beal it hence,
Full well know thy weary way,
The earth stained garments, spirit spent,
That Piteous prayer that day by day
Goes up to the Omnipotent.
I too have suffered aud have fought,
too have dregged the cup of lifei
know how dear the victory bought,
How fierce and deadly is the strife;
Yet pray and trust; His grace is MIL
And when this fes er'd life is past, :.
The One who scrupled not to die,
Will lain and own US at the last
Each 3truggle that has cost us dear,
Though all unseen to mortal eye;
Each sacrifice that claimed tear
G1d notes down all: they're mark d on high
Then cheerful let us battle on,
III ugh storms should rise and foes assail:
how sweet the rest, the victory won,
While rings through Heaven the great
"All Hail!''
