The Crops I'm indiana.

GFrom the Fl. Wayne CInd) DeluocratJ
The WHEAT CRoP.-From the best infor-
nation we can get from farmers from diff
ferent parts of the country, we are of the
opinion that the wheat crop will be almost
an entire failure. We append below a
number of articles clipped from our differ
ent exchanges from different parts of the
State, giving rather gloomy account OF
the wheat prospects In their respective To-
calties:
The Windmdc Democrat of the 9th instant
says of the wheat crop in Pulaski County:
"Farmers have informed us that the wheat
crop in this county will be very small this
year, as it Is in most places badly injured"
The Shelby Volunteer of the 9TH inst. says:
"There seems to be little or no doubt that
all the peach-buds in this section are GER
tainly killed. Grape-vines, in exposed po-
sitions, also suffered badly, and many are
quite dead, but the more hardy varieties
are said to be uninjured, and promise a
good yield"
The Huntington Democrat of Thursday
says:
"There is a diversity Of opinion among
farmers, as to whether the wheat has sus-
tanned any serious injury by the freakish
weather of the past winter. In some parts
of the county the wheat looks promising,
in others it is said to be in bad condition.
The same is said to be the case In Whitley
county"
The Franklin Je6ersontm of Saturday
says:
"The appearance OF the growing wheat
crop in johnson county, upon the whole, is
what some OF our farmers term sorry
That is, it does not present very promis-
ing appearance. However if the weather
proves favorable, we have yet a chance, we
trust for good wheat CROP"
We copy the following concerning the
prospects of the wheat crop in Clinton
county from the Frankfort Crescent of the
9th inst:
ave have made some inquiry as to the
prospects for wheat the coming harvest
We are compelled to say that it is anything
but flattering. There was not the usual
breadth sown, and great deal was put out
late, and has suffered very much from the
winter. Much of the late sowing will be
plowed up for putting out other crops. Let
the season from this forward be ever so fa-
vorable, we give it now as our opinion that
there cannot be more than third or half
crop. However, spring showers may do
much to revive vegetation, and produce
better crop than we may now be anticipat-

10 They Want This Done {:

Everything that can be scraped together
wherein ANDREW JOHNSON has declared
the absolute necessity of making treason
odous is paraded in Radical Journals, set
Off with italics, small capitals and capitals
Suppose President JOHNSON said this
with all imaginable emphasis, do the peo-
pie think that the way to stamp an odium
on treason that will deter men from en-
barking in 1t for all time to come, is to
hang ali tine men who figured prominently
in the enterprise of establishing Southern
Confederacy? Do the editors want this
done who are parading the attributed ut
terances of President JOHNSON emphasized?
And il they do want it done, will they con-
descend to give to the public some conclu-
sive evidence that it would produce the al
legged result?

Volunteer Relief Fund.

The Governor has issued a circular to the
Commissioners of the several counties re-
quiring full and complete answers to the
following interrogatories:
l. Amount of Relief Fund for the fam
lilies of soldiers, levied, collected and dis
bursed in the county for the years '62, '63,
"a and '65.
2. Amount received and disbursed in
'66, and the balance subject to Commits
sioners' order, April 1st, 1866.
The report is to show clearly the bal
ances, if any, carried from year to year, and
the total balance of all the years.
Failure to respond promptly, the circular
states, will be regarded as good and suffi-
cient reason why the control of said Fund
should be transferred to other hands.

Mrs. President johnson and the
Southern Fair.

The following from the journal" of the
Southern Fair in Baltimore, records one of
the pleasantest incidents in the history of
that beneficent and blessed work:
A beautiful contribution of flowers was
received at the Fair yesterday, from the
wife of His EXeellency, the President of
the United States. This simple tribute,
though to the cause of christian charity,
coming from such source, under the cir
cumstanees of the present time, demands
'our editorial notice, and cannot fail to
crafty the hearts of all who duly appreci-
ate the Importance of avoiding, in the pros
ecution of this good work, any recurrence
of the bitter feelings of the late civil war.
That Mrs. johnson should thus testify her
sympathy for the destitute and suffering
people of the South, and her desire to aid
in relieving them, cannot fail to add
strength to the assurances so recently ut
tered by the President, of his determination
to resist, with all his power, the mad fanat-
icism which threatens not only to crush
fallen foe, but to destroy every trace of our
political institutions.

The CoIIector at New Yorlx.

Mr.. HENRY A. SMYTHE, just appointed tc
one OF the most important places within
the gift of the President-the Collector
ship of the city of New York, made vacant
by the suicide Of Preston KING, and for
which the mouths of innumerable Repub-
lican politicians have for some time been
watering-although decided Republican,
is not known as politician. He was sue
cessful merchant, and is now banker, and
was supported by the business influence
of New York city. The politicians were
defeated. Mr.. SMYTHE is represented as
not only very capable man, but as firm
believer in the righteousness of vetoes Nos.
one and two and in the Presidents 22d of
February speech. OF course, his appoint
ment has not yet been confirmed; but dare
the Radicals fly in the face of the mer-
chants and bankers of the city of New

The Murderer of the Deering
Family.

FoRNEY's Press of the 18th inst. contains
the following:
The investigation before the coroner's
jury yesterday substantially confirms the
statements in regard to the murder of the
Deering family which have been published
heretofore. The discovery that he had
stole the missing watch, which he has per-
sistently alleged to have been taken by an
aecomplice, is supposed to settle conclu-
sively the fact that he committed the mur-
ders without assistance. His object in i'm
plicating another party is believed to be
the supposition that our laws, like those
of Germany, set free any criminal who
turns States evidence and fastens the guilt
upon a confederate. A letter from his
mother, dated at Baden, makes it probable
that that was his native home instead of
Strasbourg, his false statements being
prompted by desire to prevent his family
from hearing OF his terrible crimes. The
testimony of one witness to his anger last
fall, when he was discharged by Mr.. Deer
ing, indicates that he was animated partly
by q spirit of revenge. tr

MIR. ScOVeI Declares BHr. Stockton
Legally Elected United States
Senator.

j. NJ. Scovel, the President of the New
Jersey Senate, who defeated the election OF
an United States Senator from that State,
has written letter TO the Chicago Tribune
in reply to some structures of the Wash
ington correspondent of that journal, who
said that Scovel spent along time in Wash
ington during the winter, and contributed
as much as any man to secure the rejection
of the claims of Mr.. Stockton 10 seat in
the Senate. Mr.. Scovels says: "There is no
truth in this statement. | have been in
Washington but twice in four months, and
on neither occasion did | say one word
about the case of Mr.. Stockton. On the
contrary, my opinion was publicly express
ed that John T. Stockton was illegally GUST
ed; and that the man who most persistently
hurled Stockton from his seat in the Senate
was not the man who ought to take the va
cant chair in the Senate" Mr.. Scovel also
says: "Millions would not have tempted me
to take the position did; but having once
taken it, and believing it to be right, the
whole world in arms could not drive me
for one instant into the abandonment of
my course. / would rather have been shot
dead in the Presidents chair than have
shown the white feather. | have taken the
consequences, public and present odium,
and the bitterest calumny." In conclusion,
ScoveL in positive terms, denies that the
Camden & Amboy road controls him.

Whig party. Brougham, jeffrey, Sydney
Smith, Lord Holland, and others of world
wide reputation, enriched its pages with
their racy wit pungent satire and j9dicious
critiques. History, Philosophy, Politics,
Science, Art, Bellies Lettres-all were here
discussed, er cdthedrd, by master minds and
in the choicest English. A few years later,
Macaulay commenced his long series of
brilliant essays, shedding additional lustre
on it by his unrivalled periods. Stephens
published his masterly papers on the Phi
iosophy of History, and the elegant Tai
fOurd became regular contributor. Still
later, Sir William Hamilton, from his COM
prehensive mind and vast storehouse of
learning, showered forth his able discus
sions on great variety of topics. Many of
the best known works of Whately, Arnold,
Whewell, and host of other lumnaries,
were first given to the world in the pages
OF the EliRbmgb. Lord Brougham, now
nearly ninety, il we mistake not, is the only
survivor OF the original founders of this Re

The Same is the Case in the North.

Concurrent reports establish it pretty in
contestibly, that the people in the South
who manifest anything like a contuma-
cious spiritare men who were non-particl-
pants in the war, and that the officers and
soldiers want no further strife. They are
perfectly willing to accept its issue, with
out having any inclination whatever to
embark in similar enterprise. The same
is true with regard to our people. Its the
stay-at-homes who set their faces, like ada
mant, against compliance with the requi-
sitions of the Constitution, whereby per-
petual paciiication can be assured. Our Of
flcers and soldiers, with almost perfect
unanimity, are agreed that the acquisitions
of the Constitution should be complied with.
They want no more war.
