 s9 The Chicago Tribune says 'With re- gari to spring wheat our advces neady all go to indicate heavy yield and excellent quality In Iowa the crop is reported to be better in all respects than ever before, and we have very little complaint as to condition from any quar- ter. The harvesting of spring wheat has com menced in various portions of Illinois, and there are some fears expressed regarding the effect of the recent rains but there is not much | room for doubt that, should the weather change for the better, the crop will be large and good. For several years past the spring wheat in many portions of Nortbern Illinois has been rather uncertaisi as regards quality and yield 1; but this year we have less com pIaint than usual. Although our advices from Wisconsin and Minnesota are not of SO recent date as those from Illinois, we have every reason to believe that the crop of spring wheat in those States will be heavy, both as regards quality and yield. The recent rains cannot have affected the crop in those States as in Illinois and Indiana because it is generally a two. or three weeks later. On the whole, therefore, it is probable that the crop of spring wheat will be unusually heavy and of good quality 94 -: sIo The corn crop will be enormous. Nothing can prevent this but very early frost The re- ports from nearly all portions of Illinois and Iowa are of quite glowing character Should We have no frosts to damage it before the 18th of August. the West will probably see the best corn ever raised.
 The crop of oats is unusually heavy, and it
 is mostly harvested and saved. In some por- tions the crop is enormous. l.a.i.f 'e |. The barley crop, always an uncertain crop in the Northwest, is reported to be better than
 for five or six years; but we fear the recent | rain may have stained the crop somewhat and
 damaged it. Of this, however, we have DO in- formation. It IS generally harvested and the quality and yield are said to be satisfactory | The rye crop is heavier than usnal, and ii 6
 quality is good beyond doubt It is general
 y harvested, and we hear of no complaint as
 to damage by recent rains
 On the whole the people of the Northwest i have reason to be grateful to Providence for
 the abundant yield of cereals with which they
 are likely to be enriched. There IS but little
 in the crop reports thus far to cause alarm
 but much to encourage anu stimulate to great
 endeavors hereafter. The Northwest will have
 corn enough alone to feed the armies of Eu- rope should they keen fighting till l267 '

1R,iter from Governor RrownloN.

STATE OF TENNESSEE, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
NASHVILLE, January 26, l86G.-To the euitor OF
the Washington CtTOnlce:-ln O recent article
in the National I,lteIigencer headed "Fhe
Brownlow Faction" the following statement is
made in regard to my imprisonment in the
Knoxville jail
The public, however, may not know that in the
prison where he was confined hundred! of Union
iDcarcerated, huddled together Ike cattle,
and dying Tor want OF air Iood, ana water, while
his family we're permitted to send MIN food, wine,
and every deilcacy that affection mlght suggest;
nor that Governor Br0wnlOw was furnished escort
and transportation through to the Union army,
when hundreds of better men were hurried of to
the pallows TO die an IgnominiOus DEATH or fifteen
southern prisoners to be slowly tortured to death
by starvation and ill treatment.
In the prison where l was confined we were
all crowded together, or, as the IllteNgenceT has
il, "huddled together one having no more
room than another, and all breathing the same
foul air. My family were allowed 10 send me
my meals, because, as the Rebel authorities said,
1t was economy to them. The escort furnished
me rebelled against the Rebel commandant, and
refused to go. 1, therefore, started with my Two
sons, and two private citizens of my choosing
together with two friendly Rebel officers who
volunteered. On the way we got others to join
u.s. we'll armed, and 1t was fortunate that we did,
for at Athens, hfty-fve miles west of Knoxville,
a Mississippi regiment attempted to take me out
of The tram and hang me. AS to the 'transpor-
tationn furnished me, had all the bills to foot
up. Upon my arrival at ShelbyVille l was
Tearrested by General Hardee, and held ten days
longer. there got out of money, and borrowed
$lO0 from friend. This was in March, 1862.
The month following, my wife and children
and the wife and children of Horace Maynard
(part of mine sick) were sent out the other way,
through Virginia, upon thirty.siX hours notice,
and made to bear their expenses themselves, al
heavy rates.
correct these false statements because Of the
former respectabilitY of the LpteNigencer. There
are others equally absurd and untrue, but they
can pass for what they are worth Rebels and
Rebel sympathizers will receive them - loya
men will reject them. w. g. BRowNLow,
- Governor of Tennessee.

The election for Governor of Delaware
comes off fall, but the canvass has already
begun. Governor Salisbury cannot be reelected
under the provisions OF the State Constitution,
and the Democrats will probably nominate
Joseph p Comegys, of Dover. Samuel M. Har-
Tington, of WILMINGTON, a distinguished and
radical Republican, will be his opponent, if he
consents to become a candidate.
General Thomas o. Osborn, formerly Colo
mel of the seth Illinois Volunteers, was killed by
a number Of citizens on plantation which he
had purchased near Greenville Miss, on the 9th
ultime. He had been notified previously by
selcconstituted committee of citizens that he
had twenty-four hours to leave in, and II found
there after that time lie would be killed. He
stayed on his plantation, and was assailed and
shot. He was the candidate on the Democra-
tic ticket at the last election for Clerk of the
County Court of Cook county, Illinois, but WAS
not elected.

THE LIBEL SUITS WITHDRAwN.-We
are informed that the Hon. POrtus Bax-
ter has withdrawn the libel suits against
the Burlington papers. We have yet to
hear of an instance where any one has
made anything out of q newspaper by sue
ing it for libel, and in the case of Baxter
Z. the Burlington papers, it is said that
should the case have been brought to
the courts facts would have come to
light which would not only fully SUBJ
stantiate the charges Of the press, but
tend to the lowering Of Mr.. B. as pub
lie man in the estimation Of the people,
and that in view of these facts, Baxter's
friends prevailed upon him to with
draw from the congressional contest,
and enter non-suit in the libel cases.

THE ELECTION OF SENAToRs.-The Bur-
lington Free Press says OF the election
of United States Senators by the Legis-
lature of this State which took place on
Tuesday last: "The long agony over
the Senatorial question ended Tuesday,
in the quiet and substantially uuani.
nous election of Hon. Justin S. Morrill,
for the long term of six years from next
March; of Hon. George f. Edmunds for
the unexpired term of Senator Foot I'M
til March, 1869; and Of Hon. Luke P.
Poland for the short balance of Mr.. Col
lamer's unexpired term, ending March,
1867. The result fully bears out all the
predictions we have made upon the
subject, and we congratulate the party
and the State on the harmony and good
feeling with which it was ACCOMPLISHED.
We believe that none Of those who are
responsible for these selections Of public
servants for our highest places of honor
and trust will see cause to regret their
action. Judge Poland will fill out his
short Senatorial term as acceptably as
he has hitherto served in that body, and
the State will then have the benefit of
his high abilities in the House. Mr..
Morrill, will leave the House for equally
honorable and less arduous services in
the Senate, where his long legislative
experience and high personal character
will give him at once recognized and
high position; and Mr.. Edmunds will
continue to do credit to his party and
the State, by his ability, industry and
faithful defense of Republican principles
in his seat in the Senate"

A REDUCTION OF CHARGKs.-The Direct

have taken sensible step, in reducing
their charges fifty per cent. below the
rates heretofore imposed. They have
two iiues, supposed to be in thorough
working order. They are not, of late, as
far as we can gather, overcrowded with

have had if their tariff had been reason
able from the beginning. That mistake,
however, will soon be forgotten, If they
