"All the probabilities now look toward

advice to the farmers of this couAtry is to
thresh out their grain and push it forward as
fast as the cities and the railroads can handle
it. Three weeks ago, when Mr.. Dodge made
his report, there was some prospect of scant
crop. Many parts of the west had suffered
for want of rain but the hot, moist weather
since the Goth of June has pushed forward the
crops everywhere, and Chicago and Milwau-
kee are preparing for full crop of wheat and
a large crop of corn. In fact, nothing but
this European war could have arrested the
downward tendency OF breadstuffs, and it is
not safe to calculate on the duration of

kindness of Colonel Bartlett, repaired all
our wagons and tools, and tomorrow take
up our line of march for the mountains.
This is the last camp of troops on the
border. and after leaving Brown we must
paddle our own canoe. Standing tonight
on the verge of civilization we naturally
have sad feelings, for tomorrow we sever
our communications with home. mails,
friends. and all our hearts hold dear,
to plunge into wild and unknown region
inhabited by demon savages. What luck
we shall have, where we shall next turn

from our friends, much less see them, it is
of course impossible for me to tell. To all
we bid an affectionate farewell, putting our
trust in God, and promising to keep our

Mr.. Church has been one of the leading
spirits of that State for the past fifteen
years, and although holding very few pub

many occasions calling for the exercise
of a high mind and strong will. He was
"a prominent man in the State Legislature
in 1861, when the war of the rebellion
began, and infused great earuestness
and power into the discussions and trans
actions of the session. He took a leading
position In the recent Constitutional Con
vention, and labored hard to secure the
ratification of the new Constitution. His
friends had designated him as a successor
to Hon. John F. -Farnsworth in Congress
at the coming election. He died at 2
o'clock last Thursday morning.
