this comes mainly from California. The oat crop IN
the Eastern Middle ana South Atlantic States Is
light and less than full average IN Michigan WIS
consin and Iowa. but In the other States it Is above
the average. The total crop OF corn, although
larger than 1t was last year. will fall short OF the
estimates made earlier In the season. There win be
nearly average crop OF peas and beans, but buck
wheat and potatoes win fall considerably short OF IT.
while OF sugar cane there will be large yield, the
returns from Louisiana indicating an increase OF
twenty-five per cent. The extent OF the cotton
crop Is yet uncertain, but partial returns FORE
shadow q falling on In the yield OF from
fifteen to twenty per cent, ss compared with
last years crop. In the cotton States
the supply OF last years wheat is considerable; but
in the other States II is less than usual at this season.
The general trade OF the city and country ia quiet
and less satisfactory than earlier In the season. and
the boarding OF grain In the West has exerted de-
pressing effect upon business OF all kinds in that
section.
The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser contains the
following reference to the proposed extension OF the
Erie Railway from that city to Niagara Falls and the
laying OF a third rail between New York and the
western terminus Of the Erie line:-
Parties in the Interest Of the Erie Railway Com
pany are surveying a line Of railway between their
track in that city and Niagara Falls and we under
stand THAT the work OF building the line Is to be COM
menced Immediately, the probability being that IT
VIII be opened for business early next summer. This
Is very important piece Of work, not only for the
Erie Company, but for the Great Western Railway OF
Canada and for Buffalo. The Erie Railway Company
have still more important project in view, and one
which, we have reason TO believe, Is to be CONSUME
mated al an early day. This is nothing less than the
laying OF third rail the entire length Of their track
between New York and Buffalo. This immense I'M
dertaking has passed beyond the point OF considera
ton, we are informed; the work has been resolved
on and the iron contracted for. The object, of
course is to secure for the Erie Railway an unbro-
ken narrow gauge route from New York to Chicago,
both by the Buffalo ana South Shore route ana BY the
Canada and North Shore route.

renee, Other negroes have been heard to
regret that the threat was not carried into
execution. fH
IL strikes US that these negroes are car
rying il with rather high hand, and IL
ia the general impression that this sort
Of thing has gone about for enough. We
call the attention of the authorities To the
matter. Claysvlle is within the corpo-
rate limits Of Paris, and under the jurs.
diction of the city oihcers. The conduct
OF the negroes is clearly provoking a
breach Of the peace, and should be stop
ped at once. To permit an armed camp
OF negroes TO be formed 10 Paris, with all
the ceremonies and regulations Of an
army, is far from creditsble to our city
z government. Prompt and judicious ac-
ton on the part Of the authorities is far
better than would be the excited action
OF exa sperated citizens. We earnestly
hope that summary measures will be
taken TO break up this camp. 1t is pos
sibe that some Radical emisssry may be
stirring up all the trouble; but it is far
more probable that the negroes are led
into it by some of their own race who
have come from the army, aud who, de-
sirous Of making themselves great in the
eyes of their own people, seek to do it by
such foolish bluster and bravado, and
delude others into backing them in their
game of bully.
To the negroes we would say in all
kindness, but seriously, your conduct is
altogether wrong. The course you are
pursuing is the one most calculated to
get you into trouble. You have no right
to establish rules or orders within the
city limits. That belongs to others. You
assume an attitude of defiance toward
the whites, You virtually say to them,
byyour conduct. "Come on and try us.
We defy you" You must know that they
will not put up with that We have not
quite come'to that pass in this country.
Some time some more thoughtless one of
your number will wantonly ipjure some
white person, and we dread to think of
the consequences that will befall you.
Drive out your evil advisers from among
you, and spend the time you are employ.
ing in military preparations in keeping
your town and houses clean, and de-
tecting the depredators whose thefts in
jure the reputation of the whole village
then you win be far healthier, both NOR
ally and physically.
We hope no one will be so wrong
minded as to take any rash step in this
matter, but let all with one voice call
upon the city authorities to promptly
suppress the negro camp established
within the city limits.

Touching Incident.
From the Dayton t0hio) Ledger. July 3Ol

From the Dayton lOhio) Ledger. July ~
In the crowded assembly which greeted
the Hon. G. L. Vallandigham, at Beckel
Hall, on Tuesday night, we noticed an
ex- soldier of the Federal army. he bore
the scars Of war, having lost leg in
battle. A friend conducted him to q
chair almost directly in front of the
place where we sat. There were but few
steps between us, and we were seated
almost face to face. Laying his crutches
| on the floor, and looking around on the
audience, he presented countenance
which no one could look upon without
admiration. 1t was the countenance of
young man, bearing upon it the i'm
press of innocence, and with all, of un-
common intelligence. He won our
heart at once We eyed him with inte-
rest every now and then throughout the
entire proceedings. When the orator
came forward to address the meeting, no
one greeted him with more heartiness
than this young, manned, and to us un-
known, soldier, and we were all the
more pleased with him for that Sen.
tence after sentence of one of the
most mastery political addresses to
which we have ever listened, fell
from the speakers lips. AS the
climax of some great burning
thought was touched, the hall resounded
with the applause of the listening
throng; and each time our unknown
soldier friend was seen to bear an enthu-
siastic part in the fitting demonstration.
But when, in his great speech, Mr.. v.

commingling of Southern soldiers with
those of the Federal army, at the late
Convention in New York, never have we
looked upon a countenance so lit up with
pleasure as that of this young man. The
speaker went on, and in the words Of the
objector said: "Ah, but these men are
now rebels, and you, the Democracy,
received them with open arms and gush
ing hearts TO your recent Presidential
Convention" Thank God" exclaimed
the speaker, we did and by none were
they hailed with more cordial welcome
than by-not the boodless but blood
thirsty home loyalists of the war, but by
the gallant and noble heroes, the Han
cocks, the Franklins, the Ewings, the
Blairs, the Slocums, and the Stedmans,
who had met them in the deadly conflict,
amid the sulphurous canopy and shock
of battle" The grand sentiment thrilled
the audience as we have seldom seen an
audience thrilled, and now, as tears
mingled with the perspiration which
covered the young hero's face, he raised
his solitary limb and brought his foot to
the floor with force which told how deep
were the emotions which stirred the heart
within. God bless thee we involun-
tarily exclaimed. A noble soul is that
with which heaven has endowed thee
As thou Dearest thy MANNED body through
the rough journey Of life, may the Father
of Mercies protect thee; and when thou
comest TO the end Of thy career may the
good bedew the dust that covers thee with
their tears May thy noble spirit, so fit
ting TO this evil time, descending from
its source on high, fill every bosom, and
prepare Us all for the great duty of the !
hour.

An Armed Negro Camp in Paris, Ky.

From the Paris Kentuckian.l
The negro settlement in Clay's sddi-
ton is likely to prove what many pre-
dicted at its commencement-as source Of
trouble, and possibly of strife. Within
the last few days, the negroes there have
formed q regular military organization
among themselves, armed, equipped and
officered, having their headquarters in
the schoolhouse. In fact, the whole vii
lsge is transformed into q military camp;
pickets are nightly placed st various
points around the place, and relieved
with the regularity OF q regiment on duty
in the feld. These pickets are Supplied
with guns, aud do not hesitate to level
the cooked weapon at the breast Of any
one who does not promptly answer their
insolent demands Only last Saturday
evening, a gentleman who went 10 ClAys-
vile to engage a man to work on Monday

leveled q double-barreled gun ~ his breast
