From the o. S. Agricultural Repor. for July.

INCREASE OF THE WHEAT CRoP-The har-
vest is gathered in Georgia, and the other Gull
States with very gratifying results. The average
of winter wheat is1as large in the majority of tine
States as last year, though it is less in few of
the principal wheat growing States. Texas,
Kansas, Ohio, and Indiana report diminished
average; Virginia, Georgia, Arkansas, Tonnes
see, largely increased breadth; the New Eng
land States chow slight increase the middle
States similar advance, not exceeding six per
cent the Southern wheat growing States an
average increase of 20 per cent.
Ohio reports an average improvement upon
Illinois Is per cent; Michigan 80 per cent;
Wisconsin % per cent; Minnesota I per cent;
Missouri SO per cent; Kentucky So per cent;
Virginia Toe per cent; North Carolina 40 per
cent; Tennessee So per cent; and other States
with the exception only of Texas, making
favorable comparison with last year.
The average of spring wheat is largely in
creased; in Ohio n per cent; in Indiana 4S per
cent; in Illinois % per cent; in Minnesota 35
per cent; in Wisconsin Is per cent; in Michi-
gan l6 per cent; in Missouri 81 per cent; in
Iowa % per cent; in Kansas 80 per ceot; iu
Nebraska 80 per cent. This increase of breadth
in the wheat growing gion must tell very per-
ceptibly upon the aggregate yield, if no unusual
casualty awaits the maturing crop. IF the con-
ditions continue favorable, at least two hundred
millions Of bushels may be expected in all the
States and territories.
Oats-The average of oats is larger than
usual; in the west, Ohio is the only State which
cannot show an Increase. The crop is somewhat
variable liz the south, far above average; in
New York, ten per cent below; in pennsylvania,
six per cent; in Kentucky, fourteen per cent
In the west generally the prospects, better than
last year.

prominent Virginian in letter on public affairs,
gives the following sensible advice s&
LET all the former masters and others with
them at once set about the work of reconstruction
in earnest. and in good faith. IF they will. and
their faith is seen by their works, they will soon

In the next place, we should, on both sides. care
fully avoid al! harshness, distrust alienation
between old masters and new freedmen. AS was
once said. I'VE are all Federalists-we are all
Republicans" so we should now be all friends as
we are all fellow citizens. Let every man re-
member he has part to perform. let i: be the

WoMEN's RIGHTs.-During the discussion
in the committee on suffrage in the New York
convention, Mrs. Cady Stanton and Miss An
thony vere heard in favor of giving the right
of voting to women, and the following colloquy
ensued
Mr. Greeley wished to know if the friends of
the movement had it in contemplation that ju-
rors should be drawn unfortunately from
men and women.
Miss Anthony answered in the affirmative.
MIR Gould, republican of Columbia, asked
how it would be in case Of draft? Applause
and great laughter in the male gallery j
Miss Anthony, with great vivacity, answered
so long as war is the order of the day. Yes,

them both serve. Yes, sir, we are ready to
submit to draft fApplause

REGIsTRATIoN.-The 18th of the present
month was the time fixed by Gen. Sickles for the
registration of voters to commence in this State,
but the following dispatch shows that the matter
is postponed:
CHARLESTON. July g. Gen. Sickles has been
directed not to begin registration in this military
District until Congress shall have determined
more explicitly who entitled to be registered.
1t is presumed that Congress will extend the time
for the completion of registration in the Carolnas
until October or November
P. s.-The following is copy of dispatch
from Gen. Sickles to Gov. Worth:
CHARLESTON, July IL, 1867.
To has Ercellency Jonathan Worth, Governor Of
North Carolina:
The Registration of voters in this Military
District, provided by Gen. Order No. 18 dated
May g. 1867. will not take place until further or
ders. By command of Gen. Siokles.

NOT RIGHT.-President johnson makes Con-
gress mad about the reconstruction matter. and
Congress consequently draws the clamps little
closer on the South. The President jobs Con-
gress some military commander, and Congress
and the military job US. 1t is not exactly right
to make the South suffer for the sins of Andrew
johnson or any body else. If the Southern peo-
pie rely President Johnson for relief they will
certainly suffer disappointment, for he has from
the first shown that he is destitute of moral cour-
age-he is afraid to do what he believes to be
right.
Il In view of the execution of Macmillan by
the Mexicans, a member of the French Senate
spoke follows:
Let US trust that the United States will strive
to the last to prevent misfortune like this: be-
cause 1T IS upon that government abore all, that the
responsibility of ii would rest. Such are the SEN
timents which l desire to express in the Senate
They those of France
Although the United States, by the aid it gave
pleasure of foreign nations. yet it does not be-
come French Senator to talk about response
bilty when it is notorious that the cowardly
desertion of Macmillan by Napoleon caused his
downfall. 1t is true, Napoleon withdrew the
French troops from Mexico at the demand or
threat of the United States, but that does not
relieve the French from censure inasmuch as
their Government induced Macmillan to under
take the rule of Mexico.

THE INDIAN WAR.-Desperote Battles be-
t,oeen the Indians and Federal Troops IN Col
orodo-The following has just been received at
headquarters from General Custar's command,
dated at Riverside, Colorado, forty miles west
of Fort Sedgwck, July 6:
On the Oath ult, forty Sioux attacked de-
tachment of twenty five men, under Captain
Hamilton, near the forks of the Republican.
After gallant fight the Indians were defeated
and driven off, with a loss of two warriors killed
and several wounded, Hamilton losing only one
On the same day large band of Sioux warriors
surrounded Custar's camp, endeavoring to STAN
pede tie horses, but were repulsed without the
loss of single animal. Ga the Goth war
party of Sioux and Cheyennes, numbering FIVE
or six hundred, attacked and surrounded forty
eight men of the Seventh cavalry, under Lieu
tenant Robbins and Cook, who we're escorting
supply train from Fort Wallace. The Indians
remained about the train for three hours, and
made desperate efforts to effect its capture; but,
after we'll contested Sight they were also re-
pulsed, with loss of five warriors killed and
several wounded, and one horse captured. Our
loss was only two men wounded.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.

WAsHISGroN, July l2th--ln the Senate, Mr.
Chandler called up the resolution directing the
Committee on Foreign Relations 10 enquire how
many Mexican soldiers executed after their
capture. He said that Maxmilan's operations were
part OF the rebellion. If he had succeeded, the
decree Of sc would have been inflicted on Union
soldiers Macmillan signed his own death war;
rant in signing that decree. He ought not to have
died by the bullet. The officer capturing him
should have hung him to the 6rst tree. This was
not done, and it proved the Mexicans to be chiv-
alrous people. The course of this government to-.
ward Mexico is cowaraly.
Mr. johnson spoke favorably of Macmillan. Mr.
Nye denounced him as an agent of Napoleon to as
slst the rebellion. He eulogized Juarez. Mr. How
ard thought that Maximilian's fate was deserved.
Mr. Wilson offered bill authorizing the Secreta-
ry OF War to raise four regiments, and appropri-
atng million and half dollars, for frontier de-
fences
In the House, Mr. Julian asked leave to introduce
a resolution, ordering the Reconstruction Commit
tee to report bill forfeiting lands granted to the
Southern States for Railroad purposes stating that
there were FIVE millions of acres of the best land
the South in the hands of rebel corporations, which
the poor men, white and black, should have for
homesteads. Mr. Wood objected. Mr. Julian moved
to suspend the rules. The rules were suspended by
vote of to 80, and the resolution was so modi-
fed as to embrace only Mississippi, Alabama, Flor
ida, Arkansas and louisiana and passed.
The Senate reconstruction bill was reported with
several amendments rambling debate ensued,
during which MIR Logan, of Illinois, said he had no
sympathy with any man who went bail for Jefferson
Davis If it had been he who captured Jefferson
Davis he asserted it and Dir Greedy could publish
it, there never would have been any trouble in
trying Jefferson Davis either in civil a military
court, except as he (Logan) might organize He
himself would have been the court and there would
now be no Jefferson Davis. He would to-day, if he
had the power hang Jefferson Davis and every one
of his Cabinet officers. The only man in America
who had nerve enough to hang traitors was Juarez.
Mr. Stevens moved the previous question the bill
amended. 1t passed and went back to the Senate.
One of the House amendments to the reconstruction
act is the effect that the opinion of any civil officer
of the government shall not bind the District Com
manders or any of their subordinates and State officers
must take the iron clad oath.
Julian's bill forfeiting the Southern Railroad land
contains section providing that all lands sold for
Federal taxes under the bankrupt law, shall be sold
in lots of not less than twenty more than eighty
acres.

ABOUT THE CRoPs-We could not but think
at the time when the newspapers of the South
were all filled with loud mouthed wailings and
lamentations over the utter destruction Of the
crops in the South, consequent upon the heavy
rains, that many of the reports were overdrawn,
and that when the waters had subsidized the ag-
gregate loss would be found to be far short Of that
which was at first SO confidently predicted The
result, which is becoming every day more and
more fully developed, is fast growing sufficient to
justify the truth Of our conclusions. 1t is now
ascertained that the damages, at first reported
to all sections of the country, and to each of the
planting interests, were greatly exaggerated, and
that, with the exception ofthelo lands, the yield
in breadstuffs will not be by any means meagre
one. The quantity of cereals planted this year
has been estimated as double that of 1866, and
that therefore, even with the untoward weather
heretofore had should the remainder of the plant
ing season prove favorable large crop may yet
be realized Wilmington Journal.
The Salem Observer, sreaking of the crops in
Forsyth county, says: "The wheat crops have
been harvested and will yield largely, while the

The CRoPs-In Mississippi the wheat har.
vest is more than an average one. great deal
of corn is being raised. The cotton crop may
prove failure owing to the backward spring,
and early Fall will ruin it.
The Almighty has blessed Georgia and Ala
bama with an abundant wheat crop. Wheat
opened in the market at Sl.60, ard two weeks
ago millers were afraid to make offers owing to
anticipated large crops. Over 100000 bushels
of wheat are for sale at the little town of Cen
