Crop and Commercial Matters,

We copy the following from the
commercial article of Mondays Gin
cinnati Gazette
The whole financial and CONNER
cial interests of the country are now
measurably in suspense, awaiting de-
velopments in regard to crop pros
poets Upon the result of the next
harvest, very much depends-mere
perhaps than at any previous period
in the history of the country. We
have had three failures of the wheat
crop in succession, and as conse-
uuence flour commands famine
prices, and we are importing wheat
from Europe, while gold is at a premi-
um of SO. This is fair indication
of the state of the country in regard
to the supply of wheat. This, in
connection with the fact that the
price of flour is, at the present time,
eighty per cent. above the average
of the last twelve years shows how
nearly supplies in the United States
are exhausted. Another failure of
the wheat crop would, therefore,
bring ruin upon the business inter
ests of the country. This gives ex-
traordinary importance to the re-
ports from the agricultural districts,
and to the cheering intelligence we
are receiving unusual value will be
attached. Making allowance for the
deficiency IN the amount of wheat
sown last fall, the prospect is that
we shall have full average crop
The crop is still exposed to accident,
such as rust, fly or frost, but the cir
cumstances are all in its favor, and
it is hardly probable that any gene
rel injury will be sustained. Where
the prospects are everywhere so fine
we may not expect, at worst, to hear
of damages other than in exception
al cases. Within sixty days from
this time new wheat will begin to ar
rive from the South, and thereafter
the business of converting this grain
into currency will progress rapidly.
The market will all be bare and
ready to take whatever farmers can
prepare and railroads carry. This
will lead to the distribution of money
VIII ch is now in unhealthy abundance
in New York, and will tell favorably
upon the mercantile interests OF the
country in advance of the fall trade.
The only article which the West
now has in any considerable quanti-
ty to sell is corn. This commands a
high price, being worth 81 40 per
bushel in New York. Shipments are
rapidly increasing, and the move
ments in this line will serve to check
the upward tendency of exchange,
and to add somewhat to the supply
of money at the West. The wool
clip will be next in order. This will
be unusually large in quantity, but
prices will be lower than last year,
and it is not likely that the market,
owing to the depressed condition of
manufactures, will open early or
with any great degree of spirit
Wool will sell, however. and the
West will realize largely in
money, which will still further ope-
rate upon the exchanges, in our fa-
yOr.

The Great Kanawha Navigation
Company.

SO4AtaAI
The books of subscription to the
Capital Stock of 'the Great Kanawha
Navigation Company" were opened
on Monday at Point Pleasant and
Charleston, W. Va, and st New York
City. This Company is organized
for the purpose of improving the
navigation of the Kanawha River,
and presents liberal inducements for
investment, as by its charter the
company is permitted to raise by
tolls fifteen per cent. per annum on
the amount of money expended in
the improvement. We hope to see a
liberal subscription to the stock of
this company, and a speedy COM
mencement and completion of this
Improvement. Careful estimates
made by competent parties show.
that with the improvement of the
navigation of the Kanawha River,
the Kanawha ceal can be put into
the Southern and Western markets
at q cents per bushel cheaper than
the Pennsylvania coal, while at the
same time some varieties Of the Ka-
nawha coal, on account of its supe-
rior quality, will command from II
to ~ cts per bushel more. The re-
suit of this improvement must, there
fore, be to give to the Kanawha
csal the command of the market.
Nothing but the difficulties of navi-
cation have hitherto prevented the
development of the rich and vast
coal deposits of the Kanawha Valley.
Obviate these difficulties, and capitai
will at once seek investment there.
Even in the face of these difficulties, a
few enterprising companies are al
ready at work, and with fair profit
to themselves. The sKanawha and
Ohio Company" located at Coalburg,
will ship during the present season
nearly 1900, 900 bushels of coal, while
the companies operating on Coal
river will ship 1,50O, 200 bushels OF
the finest quality of camel coal.
The company at Campbell's Creek,
six miles above Charleston, are now
shipping very successfully, and the
company at Raymond City are Wig
orously pushing forward their works
to completion Let the improve
ment of the river be secured, and the
wealth of that Valley is fixed fact

H The following account of o
brutal and murderous assault upon
Mr.. JNo. NEWTON, well known to our
citizens as a former resident of this
city, is from one of the Upper Mis-
sissippi papers:
AS the steamer Keokuk was lying
to at the Winona (Minn. levee,
and her mate, Mr.. Jno. Newton, was
standing on the forecas.le giving di
rections to some of the crew, large
negro, one of the deck hands of the
boat, approached him from behind,
and without a word or any kind OF
warning, commenced a hellish at
tack upon him with a razor. The
first cut he made with the terrible in
strument opened a deep cash
across Mr.. Ms neck, and this was
rapidly followed by a number OF
others across the head and face
One of the cuts severed one of Mr..
Newten's ears entirely from his head.
The mate broke loose from the in
carnate devil as soon as he could and
rushed for the after part of the boat,
and then jumped into the yawl to es-
cape the negro, who was pursuing
him. Capt. Jas. Newton, the mast
er of the Keokuk and brother of the
mate, hearing of the attack ON his
brothers. life, grasped his revolver
and hurried aft to the scene of ac-
ton. As soon as he saw the negro
he began to discharge his revolver al
him. He had made two Intellectual
shots when the negro, perceiving his
fate, jumped overheard and was
drowned. The whole tragedy was
but the affair of a moment. Why
the negro should have attacked the
mate was mystery, the mate was a
perfect stranger tc him, having but
recently joined the boat from Cincin
natl OF st. Louis. There had been
no words between them, nor had
anything arisen that could have
given offense. The negro was 6
stranger to the whole crew. Moth
ing was known of his antecedents
although some one of the hands said
he heard he had just come out of the
States prison. Mr.. Newton, the
mate, has been in the employ of the
line for some years, and he is very
worthy officer. Last year he run as
master of the steamer Julia.
Since putting the above in type
we have been shown q letter from
Capt. JAS NEWTON, which speaks a:
follows of shis murderous assault:
Brother John came very neal
being killed by negro last week.
He was batlly cut up, bnt he is ou
of danger, if he don't take cold. i
was very strange affair, fer they
had not had any trouble. The negrt
Jumped down from the top bunk OF
him with a razor in hand. Th'
first lick was across the head, fiv'
inches long, to the skull. Had it no
been for one of his negro hands h'
would have been killed. After th'
cutting the negro jumped overheard
and was drowned. 1 shot at hin

Labor VS., Capital.

lne law passed at Ine IaSI SESSION
Of the Illinois Legislature, making
eight hours a legal days work, is
causing quite commotion in that
State. The law went into effect on
the first Of May, as11 its Inauguration
was the occasion of large demon
stratien in Chicago on the part OF
the working men OF that city. There
seems to be fair prospect for
trouble between employers and en-
ployees. The manufacturing estab-
lishments and railreadslrefuse to ac-
cede to the eight hour system except
upon the condition of a correspond
ing reduction in wages. The labor
ers on the other hand demand the
pay for eight hours work that they
have hitherto received for ten, and
threaten general strike, if their de-
mands are not acceded to. The old
war between labor and capital seems
in fair way of being revived. where
as the true interests Of both classes
demand concert and harmony of ac-
ton. The invention and introduction
of improved machinery is constantly
increasing the productive power of
mankind, and we are thus enabled to
accomplish in eight hours labor
vastly more than our fathers did in
twelve. AS an inevitable result, the
time thus gained will be demanded
by the laboring classes for phyical
recreation and for mental and moral
culture and improvement. Capital
is always slow to yiele to these de.
mands, aah conflict ensues. Mutual
compromises temporarily settle the
points of difference, but ultimately
laber gains its end. This has beer
the history Of all conflicts between
labor and capital, and such viii
probably be the result of the genera
movement throughout the country
for the last few years in favor of the
eight-heur system of labor. The
fears entertained by many, that the
adoption of this system would resul,
in a large decrease of the annual
production of the country, have but
little weight in view Of the gain We
are daily making in our productive
power by means of new and improv.
ed machinery. This too, is the
great virtue of machinery, for the
more it is employed, the less man.
power is required, and the more time
mankind has for the development ol
those mental and spiritual energies,
with which the creator has endowed
them.
Later news from Chicago reports
the condition of things as very de-
plorable, growing cut of an attempt,
on the part of the eight-hOur men, to
close up all establishments which
would not hire workmen on the prin-
ciple of paying ten hours wages for
eight hours work. Some lives have
been lest, and property to the amount
of over 81, 100000 destroyed by fire.
