Enolish Wheat Crop.

We copied yesterday brief paragraph
from the Mark Lane Erpress-the great
English authority on crops-which said
"the crop of wheat is turning out larger
i" than few weeks ago was expected" The
New York World quotes the Gardeners
Chronicle, of London, of August 1st, as re-
presenting that there has never been bet
ter crop of wheat on good wheat soils than
the present one, and that the average of the
whole crop will probably prove higher than
it has been for many years.
There is nothing more uncertain than the
wheat crop. 1t is crop that is never safe
until it is in the hopper. Wheat prophe-
cies are the most unreliable Of things. The
English journals are generally better in
formed touching their crops than are ours
about American crops.
We do not suppose that drought IN Eng
land is as severe in it's effects as it is gene
rally in this country. There is more
humidity in the atmosphere of the British
isles than there is in ours, and much more
to invigorate the growing crops afforded by
the nights. On one account the clear
weather has been favorable to the English
farmer, as it enables him to get through his
harvest with dispatch. The Mark Lane
Express notices the fact that "the farmers
" finish their harvest this year earlier than
for many years past"
Yet, supposing all that is said by THESE
papers to be true, sudden rainy spell of
long duration may make an awful diminu-
ton in the aggregate of the crop saved
by running much that is in the stack.
Whatever be the state of her crop, Eng
land must need very large supply from
the United States.

Prospects Of Favorable Fall Trade
Estimate Of the Go,oing Cotton Crop
Sergeant Malory-PainyM Accident
R0bberu
PETERSBURG, August 20, 1868,

1t is the opinion of some of our best
informed merchants that the fall trade Of
the city will be better this season than it
has been for several years. What with the
crop of wheat now in course Of delivery,
with the fine prospects for corn and cotton,
the farmers and planters will be essentially
relieved from the pressure which has been
weighing upon them, and the city will be
correspondingly benefited. A prominent
house Robert A. Martin s. Co.., whose
chief trade is with North Carolina, offer
premium of fifty dollars on receips of the
first bale of cotton consigned to the firm,
and others will probably make similar
offers. This will doubtless tend to hurry
up the planters. 1t will probably be q
month hence, however, before even the first
bale comes to hand.
Though Petersburg IS situated on the very
frontier OF the cotton region, perhaps there
are few places betterposted in regard to the
extent of the growing crops, or to cotton
statistics, at all times. 1t is estimated
that the present crop will not exceed two
millions of bales; and that in reference to
future crops the quantity, instead Of in
creasing, will show gradual falling off.
We nave now, with the current season, had
four years. experience under the new sys
tenn of labor, and the production, at best,
is only stationary whereas there is labor
enough, if properly directed, to have grown
two and half or three times as much as
has been sent to market. One great cause
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1868-08-21

of this decline Is to be felnd in the fact
that all the former female labor of the
South has been withdrawn from the fields.
Neither the women themselves nor their
husbands and fathers are willing they
should engage in outdoor occupations,
Our worthy townsman, Colonel Mallory,
General Schofeld's appointee to the once u! &c
of Sergeant of the city, has had many DIM
culties to contend with in executing MS
bonds of Office. After some delay his sure
ties were accepted by the Hastings Court
about two months ago, and he entered on
the performance of his duties. Latteriy
one Of them notified the court that he wished
to withdraw his name, as he expected 10
leave the city. At the session OF the cour'
to-day Colonel Mallory offered two oe1er
gentlemen, worth, according to their alli eu-
Wits, ten thousand dollars and tWenty-h'e
thousand dollars respectively, whereas 'n.
former one only valued his property u'
eight thousand. They were OF course re-
ceiyed. and the matter settled to the sa'lS-
faction of all concerned.
A painful though not very serious acct
dent happened this morning to MIR. Inonas
Bourbon. of Dinwiddie, while on visit 10
the civ. AS he was walking along the
street q pistol fell from his pocket on the
nayement, and the conclusion caused 1t to
20 off. The ball passed through his leg q
iittle above the ankle, breaking one of the
bones.
A night or two ago the house of Mr.. Nor,
wood was robbed Of various articles OF
clothing, the loss of which was not discover
ed till the following morning. The case was
committed to the police, who worked 1t up
80 effectively that the rogues two negro
men) were arrested to-day, and all OF the
clothes recovered. The men were commit
ted to Jail to await examination before the
Mayor tomorrow morning. o.

A WOMAN ARRESTED FOR a SHOOTING
SCRAPE.-At about o'clock on Wednesday
night Captain Epps, of the police, arrested
at a point just beyond the corporate limits
Cynthia Daughtrey IA negress), charged
with shooting Henry Robinson. The officers
attention was attracted by yells and the
sound of a pistol-shot proceeding from q
house just over Bacon's Quarter branch.
Proceeding thither, he found about q hum
bred negroes in and around the house, ap-
parently congregated for some political
purpose, and among them, in full fellow
Ship, two white men-Swan, ex-member OF
the unconstitutional Convention, and Frank
Dickman, his overwhelming satellite. The
negro named above was yelling with pain
from a pistol-sbot wound in the face, in
ficted, as he said, by Cynthia Daughtrey.
CYNTHIA said it was an accident; but she
was taken up and lodged in the cage.
Yesterday morning the case wac called
before Alderman PEBBLES, but as none Of
the witnesses appeared the case was con-
tinued.
Since the above was written we learn
that the woman has been released on bail by
Justice Gregory, her counsel, A. Noise, Jr..
having presented the affidavit of the wound
ed man confirming her statement that the
shooting was accidental. Robinson is very
severely wounded, fears being entertained
lest the shot prove fatal.

A Haytien CARPET Baqger. "

The latest accounts from Hayti represent
that SALNAvE, having como to grief, is
about to depar. from Port au Prince, and
naturally turns to this radicalized and ne
gro-equality land to seek q shelter. Here
is, then, an opportunity for the exhibition
Of Radical sympathy for distinguished
ruler, who in so many respects has carried
out the principles Of Radicalism. He made
war upon the most respectable portion of his
people, the "Cacos," or Parrots, and was
supported by the Lizards" or rag-and
bob-tail " negroes. SALNAvE lost no oppor
tunity to Cypress, distress, and Stay the
"Cacos." He set upon them the Piquets,
band Of black savages, which has grown
up in Hayti since the slaves were freed by
the massacre Of the whites, and became
their own rulers. These savages rushed
into the business of slaughtering and ap
propriating to themselves all that fell in
their way. They murdered without disori-
mination, and often reenacted the scenes of
the horrid massacre of the whites.
In this respect SALNAvE strictly emulated
the example of the white Radicals of this
country, with the better excuse for him that
he only employed savage parts of the same
race against those of his people who were,
IN black sense, civilized.
Upon the arrival of SO distinguished a
Radical all due honors should be paid him
by those who he has complimented by his
imitation, and he should be provided for.
Why not make him Governor of Massachu-
sets The equality of races is religious
dogma of the" Hub" and its congressional
representatives have, under sense of reG-
gious duty, forced that equality upon US;
therefore the opportunity of proving their
faith by works should not be lost. SAL
NAVE should become a shining light in Bos-
ton. A seat in Congress should at least be
awarded the illustrious Haytien "carpet-
Dagger" SUMNER should with alacrity
make way for this great Radical, in whose
election to the United States Senate we
should find the happiest illustration of the |
g moral ideas" of the Massachusetts philan-
thropists.
Next to this mode OF applying healing
,alve to the wounds Of SALNAyE, we should
ike to see him made Governor Of Michi-

MExICO.-The New York Herald is still
pressing the idea of the assuming of the
protectorate of Mexico by the United
States, contending that, like ripe pear,-
we should say half-rotted-it is bound to
fall in the lap of some Government, and in
self-defence we must be sure that the Uni
ted States shall be that Government. 1t is
further urged, as necessity to this coun-
try, now grown so great, that there must be
provided some colonial possessions wherein
to give occupation to the restless spirits
which war has spread over the land. The
idea is one we have long entertained, and
we have no doubt that sooner or later the
United States will be compelled to put a
halter on that wild Mustang-the Mexican
republic, SO called. What a paradise for
carpet-baggers it would be-and the
Lord send them paradise or something
somewhere else than in these southern
States for greater curse never fell upon
q people.

Losses By THE BRoAD-sTREET FIRE.-The
losses by the late fire on Broad street, which
originated in Mr.. Mountcastle's store, have
been greatly exaggerated, as We learn
SlI 900 will cover all the losses sustain by
the insurance companies, of which the
Albemarle loses about $1,000, the Virginia
Fire and Marine and Insurance Company
of the State of Virginia about $4,000 each.
The losses of individuals over and above
their insurance will amount in the aggre-
gate to about 50, 900. The largest claim is
on the Albemarle Insurance Company,
which, we learn, they are prepared to pay
at once, as are doubtless the other compa-
MES when the claims on them are properly
ascertained.

South Carolina-Wol Sc and Worse.

South Carolina Sc and Worse.
AS was apprehended by the papers and
intelligent persons of Charleston, the infa-
nous South Carolina Legislature, consist
ing of n majority of negroes, have passed
the bill laying violent hands upon the assets
ofthe Bank If the State. The claims upon the
bank property were under consideration in
court of equity, and the ignorant legisa-
tors interrupt the proceedings of the court,
take upon themselves to decide a question
of law, and thrusting aside the claimants,
order the funds Of the bank to be placed in
the hands of the Governor" carpet-bag
r. lit is stated to throw the property Of
the bank into the hands Of Radical specu-
latorsl. Among the claimants, as we have
before stated, are Barring BROTHERS, of
London, whose claim is backed by law
which imposed upon the State Bank the OBJ
legation to redeem the bonds held by them.
This is just such an act as might be ex
rccted from q body unconstitutional in its
organization and composed Of beings forced
upon the State utterly incompetent to direct
It's affairs. 1t may become O matter foI
consideration of the United States Govern
mcnt. For that Government is RESPONSE
bic for all this outrage-for this setting up
of scmi-bar barians to make the laws for
an intelligent and cultivated people-for
the insolvency they have brought upon the
State, and the manner in which its obliga-
tons have been repudiated while under ad-
Indication before the lawfully-constitute
tribunal.
Thus are the southern States brought
even below the Mexican States. For
although anarchy in the main prevails in
the Mexican States, the public obligations
have not, that we are aware of, been repu-
dated. Inability TO pay-the natural con-
sequence there, as it is here, of the intro
duction into the constituent body of incom-
patible races-has delayed the payment OF
the public debt. And then foreign govern
ments stepped in and enforced payment Of
the claims of their subjects. If it were not
that strong governments are a little afraid
of each other, il is probable that this freak
of the mock legislators Of South Carolina
might bring to our shores demand backed
by some very gly-looking things.

ASHLAND AND RASDoLH MACON COL
LEGE.-As might have been anticipated,
this beautiful little village seems to have
made great leaps towards prosperity since
the removal of the seat of Randolph Macon
College has become fixed fact. Ashland
now bids fair to be town Of no mean size,
and IS its attractions are constantly multi
piled, there is good reason to believe that
it will in due time become popular resort
for the people of Richmond, and perhaps
the place of residence Of many of our
business men. The situation is delightful.
A correspondent says it is the healthlest
Mace in all creation" and the society, now
good, will not suffer from the acquisition of
the college professors, their families, and
the students.
The citizens are delighted with their
promising future, and of course everything
gives evidence of the changed prospect.
There is not a house for rent In the village,
though applications are constantly being
made. Capitalists could hardly do better
than buy land and build here. Very llbe-
raj terms are offered by the Richmond,
Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad
Company to persons settling in the neigh
borhood, and the people whereabouts will
give all new corners n cordial welcome.
The college property is now undergoing
repairs, which are advancing rapidly under
the superinte ndence Of MIR. James Taylor,
who contracts for the work. BY the time
fixed for the opening of the next session
everything will be in readiness for the
accommodation Of the students.
We would remark, by-the-way, that Rev.
DR.. Rosser, the eminent Methodist divine,
is now actively engaged in the collection OF
funds for the college. We trust he may re-
ceive from the people of Virginia a cordial
response to his appeals. The citizens of
Richmond especially should feel called
upon to contribute to the object, as this col
lege is now O Richmond institution, and its
prosperity will doubtless greatly advance
the prosperity of the city. Let US give the
trustees something more substantial than
good wishes - liberal contributions OF
