THE CRoPs.-A letter from Spring
field, H., remarks:
wheat fields are luxuriant. The
cool season is not injurious to growing
wheat, Winter wheat is surprisingly
promising. In some few localities on
fat, low land, it looks sorry The
spring variety thrives apace and prom
ises well. An immense breadth of
land is being planted with corn
Should the season be propitioas, corn,
if not wine las the grapes are damag-
ed will be marvelously abundant and
possibly reasonably low. Grass lands
look well"
The Lake City { MINI. Leader says
cold weather is always best for grow
ing wheat, and adds
1--WE confess to some surprise that
among all the farmers with whom we
have conversed in regard to the wheat
crop, we have failed to find a single
croaker. Not one of them would
have the weather warmer, except that
the frosts of the night have sometimes
been severe enough to delay work in
the field for time in the morning.
We are not convinced that a cold.
late spring is not the best guarantee
ola good crop, The springs of 1857,
1850 and 1865, were late and cold,
and we never had better yields of
wheat than during those seasons"
The Richmond Wing says the oat,
corn, tobacco and root crops are ex-
pected to be large, and barring con-
tingencies, abundant and profitable.
The fruit crop has escaped the frost
and promises rich yield.
The Lynchburg (Va.) News says
the tobacco planters of Pittsylvania
are setting out their plants, and a
great deal was planted last week.
One man planted 10000 hills, and
Others. an equal number. Three large
planters will cultivate this season 2,
100000 plants.
Grass never looked better at this
season than it does now in New Hamp
shire, and the same is true of all the
New England States. There will be-
a large hay crop if the season contin
ues favorably. These rains mus
bring down the prices of hay.

MAMMALIAN A CAPTIyE.-Iherec can
be little doubt of the truth of the re-
port which. now announces that the
Mexican Liberals have taken posses
sion of the city Of Queretaro, and that
they number among their captives
Macmillan, Miramon, Mejia and 9TH
ers. American readers have been
50 many times misled by the reports
that have been sent from Mexico that
they have become cautious about plac-
ing credence in the statements of
Mexican officers. But the antecedent
probabilities are all in favor of the
truth Of this dispatch, which announces
the fall of the city and capture of the
would-be Emperor, with his most
prominent followers, and there is toll
cradle safety in concluding that the
imperial career Of Macmillan in Mex
ico is at an end.
The situation of Macmillan in the
hands and power of the Liberals is
not an enyiable one. Those Of the
Mexican people who have all along
fought for the Republic feel that Maxi
milan has committed a most griey-
GUS wrong in the course he has taken
in Mexico. President Juarez has
been appealed to by the United States
Government and in the name of the
Austrian Government, to at least see
that the Austrian Archduke was not
put to death, and ii it shall prove
true that he has ordered the immedi-
ate execution of Macmillan and his
generals, it will be most unwise step
for the interests of the Republic. Ii
we'll manifestly be for the interest
and honor of Mexico and the Mexi.
cans to treat Macmillan as a man and
a soldier, rather than shoot him as q
bandit. A little reflection will con
vince the Mexicans that they gain
nothlng at home Or abroad by treat
in their captive with mob violence
for there is no likelihood that he viii
make any further attempts to gair
an empire upon American soil. We
hope the Mexicans will have the dis
erection to. use their victory wisely
and that they will now forget pas
differences and unite in developing
the material resources of their eoun

THE History OF THE SECRET SERVICE DURING |
THE REBELL1oN.-By Gen. L. C. Baker, late |
Provost Marshal and Chief Detective of the
War Department. Jones Brothers Co, Phil
adelphia, Pa, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Davenport, |
Iowa. Il
It's a well known fact, both North
and South, that the secret service OF
the United States War Department
was conducted with consumate skill
and marked ability. How so many
elaborate and welIlaid plans against
the government were frustrated, puz-
zled and-mortifed the South while it
delighted and mystified the North
Now the curiosity of both parties is
gratifed by the publication of a full
history of the Secret Service Bureau,
from the pen of no less an individual
than its persevering and indomitable
chief himself In these pages Gener-
al Baker gives full account of his
official career, and a most wonderful
and exciting career it was. He
throws food Of light on many dark
episodes of the late war; his review
of the great conspiracy is particular
ly full and lucid, revealing many in
teresting and startling facts not hith-
erto made public. The revelations of
official life in Washington are remarka.
bly, entertaining, and will produce an
excitement in the first circles of our
National capitol. An air of romance
and mystery pervades the entire
work, and strange as some portion;
of this narrative seem, they are al
strictly true, being youched for by
high military and civil authorities
The book has been gotten up in very
handsome and durable style, wei
printed on fine white paper, and EN-
bellished with seventeen artistic illus
trations, among them a capital por
trait of General Baker himself, and
picture of the last resting place OF
, the mortal remains of John Wilke
Booth. .....

it, under its old leaders, there is no
resurrection. They are cursed with
faulty. They are wandering about
