The road from Dupont's Summit to this city

MAMMOTH Fly WHErr..--We alluded on Friday
to mammoth fly wheel which is being built at
the extensive works of Messrs. Pussy, Jones Il
Co. We learn to-day 1t is for he Rail Mill En-
glne Of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, whose
works are at Baldwin Station, near Harrisburg
1t is said to be the largest wheel in the United
States and has attracted great deal of attention.
The engine that the wheel belongs to has cylin-
der 40 inches diameter and go inches stroke, and
is now being erected on its foundations.
Messrs. p, ]. & Co. are also about to send a
very large engine to the White Lead Works Of
Messrs. Harrison, Bros. IL Co., at Grays Ferry.
1t is gratifying to know that the superiority, both
of design and construction, of the engines built by
our townsmen, enables them to sell to Philadel-
phans even in vely dull times like the present,
and is convincing proof of the high reputation
they enjoy as steam engine builders.

We copy the following cheering state
ment from the st. Louis Democrat. It
says-
"rhe country laughs with an abundant
harvest. Throughout the great part of ILL
nois, this state and Kansas, the crop already
harvested has been very large. The promise
of the crop not yet gathered in, not only in
these states but to the northward is very
bright, and from the south and east all re-
potts concur in representing the yield as ex-
ceedingly abundant. Famine is no longer
feared. Specuartos in grain count their
losses, and consumers already rejoice in
fall of prices. The country is richer already,
and feels it. Some estimate that the crop of
1867 alone would more than half pay the
national debt.
| 1t is not merely in the actual increase of
| wealth that this bountiful harvest will do
| good. twill make life easier for all laborers
and consumers. To the poorer classes, es-
| pecially, the abundance Of provisions bring
ing prices will be peculiarly grateful But
this is not all. Agriculture is the basis of all
our prosperity. When that fails, everything
stagnatcs. The blood in all the veins ind
arteries of business flows feebly. With a
bountiful harvest, it bounds gladly through
the pulses, fresh, vigorous and full of life,
the strength returns and activity becomes d
necessity.
Millions of dollars have been locked IN
waiting for this harvest. Business of al
kinds has waited enterprises of the utmost
Importance have been checked financia
depression has prevailed; Mr.. McCullocl
has looked gloomy, and the receipts from
internal revenue have fallen off nearly forty
per cent. Everybody was sailing under clost
canvas, expecting a squall. The storm
cloud has passed. The Wall street barome
ter, with rising stocks, predicted fair wea
ther. The sky is clear again, and every one
feels that business must now revive Con
