CROPS FOR 1870,

The New York Herald publishes reports
from all parts of the country in relation to
the prospects of the crops for 1870. From
these reports the Herald gathers that ''the au-
guries for an abundant, if not an unprece-
denied harvest were never more striking and
encouraging. In the South the harvesting
has already commenced under very fatter-
ing auspices, although in Virginia there is a
little complaint on account of wet weather.
But it so happens that, while the the weather
in a measure interferes with the work of hus-
banding the cereals, it has a nourishing effect
upon the tender tobacco plants, so that what
is lost in one way will be gained in another.
Among the most interesting features in this
agricultural exhibit is the fact that the South
has been blessed to an unexamapled degree in
and cereal products, particularly in Tennes-
see. 1t has been asce:tained, also, that a
greater breadth of corn has been planted than
was apprehended early in the season; so that,
Southern brethren may ''rejoice in abund-
ance" for some time to come. They now can
claim the honor of holding the ''horn OF
plenty" and, with the prodigious yield OF
wheat and corn foreshadowed in the reports
from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin Mine
sofa, Kansas and other great Western wheat
growing States, they are entitled to the dis
tinction of contributing largely to the
strengthening of the back bone of the nation,
the stamina of the republic, the natural pro-
ducts Of its soil. From California, where re-
ports of crop failures have prevailed, the
latest accounts are encouraging, showing that
the Golden State" will have something be-
sides glittering nuggets aud quartz to throw
in the lap of our country's general prosperity

NOT COMPLETED.

There are some who appear to think be-
cause the slaves are emancipated the work
of the republican party is finished and it
might as well disband. This is wrong
idea. Emancipation brought responsibilities
with it that the republican party must as
sumo, and work to be performed for which
the whole and continued strength of the
party is necessary. On this question
George William Curtis speaks clearly in
the following article which we find in
Harper's Weekly.
Old issues canot be set aside until they
are settled The mere ascendency of a
party and the adoption of certain meas
ures, do not set them aside. Nothing dis
poses of political issues but general acqui-
escence There is, indeed, one point in
our controversy which has been settled,
and that is emancipation. No party wishes
or would try to restore chattel slavery.
But is the political equality of all citizens
a settled issue No one who is familiar
with Democratic politics asserts it. Some
Democrats think it ought to be settled
but they do not deny that the party has
not acquiesced. Is the honest payment of
the debt a settled issue? Is what is called
State Sovereignty a settled issue? On the
contrary, the great questions of the war,
excepting that Of personal seryitude, are
still Open No Democratic convention has
heartily expressed acquiescence in their
settlement nor is there anybody who does
not know that, if the Democratic party
came into power, every one of those ques-
tons might instantly become threatening.
1t is not time, therefore, TO assume that
the old things having passed away. all
things have become new and that it is not
of very vital Importance whether or not
the Democratic party is successful. Old
things have not passed away. So trem-
endous civil convulsion as the war cam
not suddenly subside and leave it, in five
wears, a matter OF indifference 10 the eoun-
try whether those who strove to destroy it
shall control its government. 1t is the
forgetfulness of this fact in Washington
and by many leading Republican papers,
which has caused an appearance of discord
in the party. The West Indian policy OF
the Administration, for instance, is IA mis-
take The sincerest Republicans are OPP
posed to it. BY dividing the sentiment of
the party, it tends TO keep open and I'M
settled the paramount domestic questions.
Indifference to the civil service reform is
another blunder. The country is heavily
taxed. There is conviction that the sys-
TEN of the public service is loose and
wasteful, to say no more. A reformed
civil service is proposition for economy
and honesty which every tax payer can
understand. He would iayorit. But 1.-The
politicians have thus far baffled ii
The enormous frauds at the New York
polls, which the Democratic party could
prevent. and does not, are now an essen
iial weapon of that party for securing Its
aseendency in the country. With that
aseendancy comes no acquiescence In the

during the whole engagement not one yes

the captain of my gun, young Irish lad

Turkish admiral's yacht, a frigate built for

pierced the dense cloud of smoke that rose
over the battle. A few minutes after we
had mauled her, she caught fire and blew
up, casting pieces of the burning wreck
into our ports. 1t was difficult to get the
men from the guns, but by n slant of the
vessel we now got all our fire to bear on
the Turkish hulls and rigging. One of our
officers who had been wounded in both

DEPARTURE OF PAREPA. y

Madame Parepa and Mr.. Carl Rosa sailed
yesterday for England. The famous singer
leaves our shores accompanied by many ex-
pressions of regret and good will by our peo-
pie at her departure. She has sung every
where, and upon all sorts of occasions, never
sparing her gifts when she could make them
useful to serve good cause or entertain any
class of listeners, and hence she has hosts of
friends among those who knew her only by
hearing her sing. The Tribune in view of
her departure, says:
Many singer has won abundant populari-
ty and wealth in the United States since this
country became recognized as legitimate
field for musical enterprise, but none has ever
endcared herself in such peculiarly person.
al manner to her audiences as the accom-
plshed and marvellous woman who is now
about to leave us. When her handsome jovial
face appears upon the stage, smile of pleas
ure always runs around the hall. When the
notes of that divine voice fall upon the ear
every face settles into a look of content and
every musical want seems satisfied. We
suppose Parepa must have left, scattered all
over this continent, from New England to
San Francisco, about two or three million
personal friends, WHO never spoke to her in
their lives and never expect to. She has been
everywhere. She has conquered the most
distant territories. She has turned even an
Overland Stage Coach into a triumphal char
lot, and carried her glorious song from Bos-
ton to the Great Salt Lake. What has she
not done during her extraordinary American
career? She tossed over few English bal
lads, and we found in them a rare beauty
never suspected. She tried oratory, and the
spirit of the old composers filled her, and she
gave such voice to their grandeur that we
hardly tolerate Handel now from any mouth
but hers. Jublees put her to the test, but
she went on conquering. Ten thousand
sang against her, cannon Numbered at her
SIDE five hundred musicians played their very
loudest, and still above the multitudnous din
scared that beautiful voice. Then she turned
to the neglected opera, and straightway, with
the best English company ever heard in this
country, gave us masterpieces we never knew
before, and added fresh leaves to her laurel
crown.

DARIEN EXPEDITION.

BY the arrival of an Aspinwall steamer adj
vices have been received from the Darien
Surveying Expedition to May 5th. The wea-
sher had continued extremely unfavorable
for the surveying parties. The rains were
of daily occurrence and very heavy, swelling
the streams to torrents. In consequence OF
the heavy fall of water it had been difficult to
keep the working parties at the front sup
piled with provisions.
On May 9th active preparations were gong
forward on board the Nipsic and the Guard
for return to New York. On the 2Sth the
commander of the expedition changed his
plans, and it is now believed he will continue
his survey until one of the surveying parties
shall have crossed the dividing ridge ana
communicated with the survey from the Ny
ack, OH the Pacific side. A letter was receiy-
ed on the 2sth from the commander of the
Nyack, stating that his party were some dis
lance up the Byrano River, the course of
which they expected to leave shortly, TO as
ceud the Marmonia River. The aim OF Capt.
Selfridge is TO reach the Msrmonia from this
sue anu 0SsCSnd thS SkESAltis ttt<SsthA wy ~
tv from the Nyack. The Nipsie was 10 leave
for Aspiuwall on the slst, il being Selfridges
intention 20 pay visit to the Nyseks eoni-
nandxr VIA Panama R&ilroad.
According 10 the latest aSiviees, Lieut.. Hub
eard's party had Surveyed ~ TALES frou the
beach, ut which distance the highest land
elevaeioa found was sQ9 feet, the elevation Of
sae rivers ped aeIsg 2sS feet. The sur
rounding country was very rugged and Diff
cali. Donkey transportation had been ahan-
loned, ard provisions for the working party
were carried forward IN small quantities BY
the men On the 18th Of May. Capt. Sell
fridge ordered Mcssrs. Moser and Bowditch
TO take one machetera, with plenty of provis-
ions for the party, 60 TO the head of Lieut..
Hubhart's line. and from thence strike S.
s. L. course, and endeavor to reach the San
Jose, Marmonia, or other river on that line
flowing towards the Pacific Ocean. They
were to make a pace traverse of the route,
and Lieut.. Hubbard was to follow as fast as
possible with compass and level.
On the 30th, orders were issued that Lie ut.
Hitchcock, Lieut.. Goodrich, and six men, full
" provisioned, leave the beach early on the
following morning to relieve Lieut.. Hubbard
and party, the latter to return to the beach at
once, and, taking S. S. e. course, to make
forthe San Jose or Marmonia River thence to
proceed, if deemed prudent, to the Pacific
Ocean, or until the party from the Nyack is
encountered. No orders had been issued re-
calling Messrs. Moser and Bowditch.
The general health of the expedition was
fair, no sickness having appeared except fe-
yer and ague. The men, however, were ex-
ceedingly dissatisfied with Capt Selfridge's
determination to prolong their stay on the
Isthmus Five men have deserted from the
Guard, and more would go if they had oppor-
tunity. Officers and men complain that their
endurance has now been taxed to the utmost,
and that longer stay in such climate would
be dangerous.
