The Springfield Record says thai on iast
Monday there were large number of
farmers ia The city, all Of whom were
questioned in regard to the wheat crop, and
the response was that although the rust is
on the blade, il will not be materially
damaged. In some localities the crop is
ready for the cradle. msw4 vRs
The Huntingdon West Isnnesxan says
that The wheat harvest in that county il
now fairly commenced. That paper Gays
that though SOME fields Of the grain may
be injured by rust, yet, from all accounts,
we are fully convinced that the crop is
much more than an average one. 1855

Contested Election.

We are glad to perceive, says the Muir
freeeboro Monitor, that Captain Sheafe,
who was elected TO Congress from this dis
trict by upwards of 1000 majority over
Tillman, his radical opponent, has deter
mined to contest the election, a certificate
having been frsudulenly Issued to the
latter by Gov. Brownlow. Both gentle
men have been busily engaged for some
days before Esq. Clark, in taking depOsi-
tions beating upon the case. Mr.. Tillman
il endeavoring to prove that the election
in this county Was carried for his oppon-
ent by fraud. Though fairly and consli-
tutionally elected to the position, We doubt
whether the Radical Congress will have
decency enough Ia admit Captain Sheafe
to his seat.

CORN MEAL-The local trade continues
good We quote at 75c per bushel for
loose unbolted, and So 80 per barrel for
city kiIn-dried.
CoRN.-The shipments to-day reached
7,45O bushels at 50, S2l and S3c. We
heard of sales of loose at s. and zoe.
Wharf.-The market for wheat was
dull and dropping. The stock Of old is
almost entirely exhausted. The offerings
for new for this months delivery are large.
Millers are operating with caution. The
experience Of the past season is still vivid
in their minds, and they are not disposed
to operate at one dollar, sc the sdVices
from the seaboard are very unfavorable.
Dispatches were received to-day announc-
ing the receipts at the enormous amount
Of 10000 bushels. A private letter to one
of our millers quotes his best. brand Of
flour at 81 35, and further stated that the
Northwest and West were flooding the
market with four This will necessarily
force large numbers Of millers in those
sections to the wall and is deeply to be
regretted, as we had looked to our surplus
crop of wheat for large revenue. We
have not heard Of an order being received
by any of our grain dealers for wheat for
shipment North. Since writing the fore
going our plight dispatches are in, an
nouncing a still further decline in New
York of standard superfne to S. IL, clos
ing at S.. 1t costs from 81 20 TO 81 to

should spring up, or an accident occur
to the Northern crop prices win go still
lower. While regretting the loss of the
grain men Of the country, we derive some
