Under this arrangement the Withdrawal Of

and is expected to be accomplished at once,
Instead of extending over a year. as at first
arranged This Government, ia vicw Of The
complications certain to arrive upon the with.
drawal Of Macmillan, and the necessity for
establishing stable Government, will, in GER
tain contingencies, guarantee the Juarez Gov

cssary to establish Republican Government

titudc thus publicly assumed By this Govern

In consideration Of this friendly action tl.c
Juarcz Government agree to ccle to the Uni.
ted States the Territory heretofore stated as
agreed upon, aud we shall thus gain the whole
of the peninsula of Lower California aud tho
valublc portions of the States of Sonora and

The Commissioner Of Agriculture this
month thinks that his previous estimates Of
the crops will De verified. lie says that tie
corn has suffered some by frost aud rains, but
that the crop will be larger in quantity tl.an
the largest ever chroniclcd before in this c9un-
try.7'r0f~ e''o " heat otop, m].iel. h,S hec. un-
fortunate for three years, he says there will
probably be 143 ,000 600 bushels, y snial! de-
crease from that Of last year.

the wheat crop of Great Britain has also been
deficient. However, the present crop in this
country Will probably DC ten millions Of busl-
els greater than in 1890, and within five mil
lions Of a product in proportion to the increase
of population The decrease for the eleven
States Of the South is estimated at seventeen
millions Of bushels, less than ivetcnts Of
the crop Of 1870. The California crop, which
WAS six millions Of bushels in 1860 well, il
is thought, double that quantity this year.
The yield Of oats is extraordinary. and indi-
Gates an increase from i'll ,497 ,U72 in 1850
to 271 ,912, ,605 bushels in 1866. 1t is the
only crop in the Sanh that maintains equal
ity with its last census exhibit. Hay is short,
but better in quality. The Southern returns
for cotton do not indicate that chc crop viii
fail below 100000 bales
AFTER the waY commenced and the South.
crn members had withdrawn, Congress passed
Pacific Rail Road Bills, in what seemed at
the time to be Il reckless aud uncalculating
spirit. i was ten to one whether the enterprise
would ever be carried into effect; but now it
appears that they are making satisfactory pro-
grcss, and promises to become fixed fact, like
the Illinois Central Rail Road, which was re-
gardcd, when the Bill passed, as an idle and
extravagant enterprise. What this country
can do, if blessed with domestic peace, and
cordial reunion and o.operation Of its scve-
raj sections, is almost beyond the bounds Of
imagination, for what it has done appears to
be fabulous.
