Crop Reports.
KENT COUNTY, DELAWARE

The Delaparean, of Saturday, says 'sWheat
was seriously injured in this county during the
late rainy weather. The heavy east wind that
prevailed on and about the 26th and 9th of
May found the wheat in bloom, and beat the
blossom off to great extent. In consequence
of this the crop is generally afflicted with what
is called the scab, or blight, the heads contain
ing but few, if any, grains. In addition, many
fields are in bad condition from the straw
having fallen during heavy rains Rust is also
complained of in some quarters"
1t also says 1.-THE prospect for a crop of
peaches of the mid-season varieties, is very
good. OF early peaches there will be a fair
crop of Troths Early and Early York; Hale's
Early may be considered a failure, and the same
may be said of most of the late varieties. The
quantity of fruit has been generally reduced by
the late rains, but enough yet remains, if per
mitted to ripen, to supply the market with fruit
of superior quality"

LECTURE LAST notwithstanding to an

evening" in Institute Hall, on 'sIhe achievements
If genius in the fields Of Science and Poetry"
In lien of any notice Of our own we publish the
following, handed in by IN appreciative listener;
The address of Mr.. II. s. Jefferies last evening
in Institute Hall, for the benefit of the Y. Nj.
@. Association, of Lower Brandywine Presbyter-
ian church, was brilliant success, as far as the
Young orator, himself, was considered. Mr.
Jefferies exhibits rare ability as writer and as
public speaker.
His depth of thought, beauty of language,
forcibleness of figure, ease of manner, fullness
Of voice, the propriety of his gestures and entire
freedom from the use of manuscript are elements
which promise great laurels of fame and power
in the arena of usefulness, either as statesman
lr as herald of the Gospel
Such indeed were the merits of this effort that
we regret that greater number of our citizens
lid not avail themselves of the opportunity thus
Afforded of enjoying production OF high liter
iry character, and at the same time encouraging
band of young men in their noble aspiration to
do good

Trouble in NIOrluOndOm.

In Salt Lake City recently, on the pretext
that Paul Elgebrecht, Gentle liquor dealer,
had appealed from the decision Of the Police
Court imposing fines to the District Court, q
squad of Mormon city police, armed with
authority by the city, gutted his store and
destroyed his entire stock, valued at twenty
thousand dollars. The United States Marshal,
Pollock, Immediately arrested the City Marshal,
Chief of Police and all the deputies engaged in
the destruction of the property, and it is now
stated that there is great excitement among
the Mormons and serious disturbances are
apprehended. There may be disastrous riot
precipitated at any moment by such hot
headed action on the part Of the Mormons.
They are not in good odor at their very best
with the rest of the United States. We advise
them to be more moderate. Brought directly
in contact as they have just been, with such
great civilizers as the railroads and telegraphs
and free pulpit discussion, and suffering
inwardly from deadly schisms and outwardly
from the Cullom bill, they should be especially
on their good behavior. Their case is bad

Our south American Correspondence.

We publish on another page of the HERALD
to-day an interesting letter from our cor
respondent in Rio Janeiro. He describes the
grand peace rejoicing which was gotten up in
Rio on the 10th of July, and for which one
hundred thousand dollars were expended to
render it magnificent spectacle; but the
whole affair, instead of proving great sue
cess, turned out miserable failure. We
think it is about time that the Brazilians
ceased these Qualifications over the victories
of the allied armies in Paraguay. That
unfortunate country to-day is stepped 80 low
in humiliation, poverty and distress, that a
magnanimous enemy ought to refrain from
adding still further to the humiliating position
in which that brave, indomitable, yet con-
quered people are placed. Besides, Brazil
had better look to its own household more par
ticularly than what the government has been
doing of late. There are elements at work at
the present time that may shake the empire to
its very centre. The slavery question will
prove an excellent weapon in the hands of the
liberal party, and that they will use it we
have abundant proofs. Free labor in Brazil,
ere long, will supply the place Of slave labor,
and the public men and statesmen Of the
empire should consider the matter in deeper
sense than what they have been doing of late.
Displays which mean nothing but glitter and
which add taxation to a people already
heavily burdened, will not last long. Peoples
think nowadays changes take place rapidly,
and thrones are much more easily upset than
they were century ago. The Brazilian gov
| ernment has much food for reflection. Will ii

CANADIAN RETALIATION. N.-The oppressive
measures which the New Dominion govern
ment has taken to revenge itself on the United
States for the repeal of the Reciprocity treaty
have assumed such shape that il is probable
Secretary Fish will institute negotiations to
have them abrogated altogether. 1t appears
that, besides forbidding Americans from fishing
in Canadian waters, they also forbid American
vessels engaged in the fishing business from
entering the Canadian ports in the fishing
grounds. Like all Canadian attempts at
retaliation, however, this one rebounds on The
Bluenoses almost as severely as on the
Yankees. Business in Prince Edward
Island is languishing in consequence. and the
people are loudly complaining

Our War Observation-Disclosures Grent vic-
tory for tho Prussians.
The decisive battle which the French have
been hoping and preparing for has been
fought. The Crown Prince met MacMahon's
forces on Tuesday night at Beaumont and
fierce battle ensued, which lasted up to
last evening. Both sides were reinforced
by immense numbers during the fight, which
was determined and bloody in the extreme.
MacMahon made a desperate resistance,
but was driven steadily from one posi-
ton to another, until he found himself
defeated beyond all hope of retrieval,
and broke in full retreat, with his shattered
army, for Sedan. The slaughter on both
sides was immense, and the victory for the
Prussians was complete. From all accounts
the fight as to numbers, fierceness and results
is the decisive battle that has settled
the question of the war. The Prus-
SLAMS, with their marvellous endurance
and steady resolution, will press the
pursuit so closely that MacMahon must
surrender. It is the history of Appomattox
repeating itself 1t is the disordered and
hopeless fight OF Lees army re-enacted on
French soil. The questions of Napoleon's
escape or capture, of the future Of France,
of the establishment of republic
or of the restoration of the Bourbons are all
on the very verge of settlement. The grand
armies that went forth so vauntingly to shape
the German Confederation in accordance with
the Napoleonic idea of what the map
of Europe should be are completely
scattered, and Napoleon himself is
probably fleeing through Belgium. We
may, therefore, predict the immediate close
of the short but bloody war that has en-
chained the attention Of Christendom for the
last six weeks-a war that has, in point Of
grand strategy, rapid movement and decisive
fighting, exceeded the most brilliant cam
paign Of the First Napoleon.

THE herald CORPS OF EUROPEAN WAR
CORRESPONDENTS.

We have special correspondents moving
with each division of the opposing forces OF
France and Prussia, and news agencies in the
principal capitals--London, Paris, Berlin. Ma
drid, Vienna and Florence-so that nothing
Of an important news character escapes our
yigilant representatives
Our news agencies in the principal cities of
Europe, and our system of travelling corre-
spondents, have been long established, fact
the readers Of the HERALD have no doubt long
since become familiar with, and as our letters
from all parts of the Eastern Hemisphere for
years past have fully proven.
We do not pretend that our comments upon
the war, or that our opinions upon the proba-
bic success Of either belligerent in contem-
plated movements come by the cable. Our
only aim is to give to the public the fullest,
the most reliable, and the most authentic
record of facts as they occur in the grand
operations of the contending armies.

THE New GOLD BANKS. The decision or

new gold banks will not be receivable in pay
ment of customs has dampened the ardor OF
some of the national bank monopolists who

our European D0spatches by Mall-Warp
DIplomacy and Political DeneraIization.
Our special correspondence from Europe,
published elsewhere to-day, continues our mail
history of the war to the Goth of August.
Our writers call attention also to the already
evident consequences Of the sad conflict, to ths
number and condition of the wounded, the
municipal Generalization, the diplomatic dis
s'ist and the royal cabinet arrangements
which were had and produced by it. From
the field we have report of the situation be-
fore Strasbourg as 1t then existed, with tho
Prussan sieging army operating on the
north Of the stronghold. Within Metz
there was want, suffering herosm, but
yet very considerable amount of French
patriotism Notwithstanding. The Prussiau
commander had made demand for it's sur
render; but it was then, as it is now, refused.
Quite number of popular assertions relative
to the want of discipline and order and honesty
in the French camp, which have been circulated
from one source or other, are refnted by on0
of our writer's. AS many as thirty thousand
wounded Germans had reached the hospitals
of Prussia from the battle fields. The men
are said to have suffered most severe priva-
tions, Notwithstanding the great care and
foresight of the medical and commissariat
departments in Berlin. The general health Of
the German army was excellent. As to the
every day morale of the Prussan forces, il
remained very good, the only trouble in the
way of a non-observance of discipline being
experienced in the Polish contingent hailing
from Silesia. Paris was excited and alarmed
The gay hours Of the French metropolis had
passed away. Its municipal brilliancy was
tarnished, its domestic joy clouded. The
Prussians were sweeping to the fortilca-
tions. The condition which existed inside
the walls is portrayed in a very
animated style by our special writer.
The city was still Paris, but not likely
to be '1iving" Paris more. As many as nine
teen Germans had been executed as Prussian
spies in the French metropolis. The men Of
Frankfort were fierce in their determination
against Napoleon, against France and against
her Turcos, Zouaves and system of finance.
Austria had had her avengement Of Napoleon
for Koniggratz. The Empress Eugenie had
applied by letter to the Cabinet in Vienna for
army aid to France. She appealed in touch
ing terms. Premier Won Beust replied, sit
is too late for military, and too early for diplo
matte intervention" In such terms did he
neutralize Napoleons words in 1866 when
Austria made application to Paris after
Koniggratz, and was answered thus :-''Wbat
do yon wish that should do for Austria p
The great balance is now adjusted. Ireland
still sympathized with France. From tina
North of that island we have a report Of tho
