CRoPs AND BUSINESS AT TIE WEsT.-The
New York EveniHg Post says that member
of one of the Oldest banking houses in thatcity
has Just returned from a tour Of four thousand
miles through New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan
and Minnesota, undertaken for the express
purpose of learning the condition of the coun-
try by personal observation, for which be had
special facilities. As the result of his travels
and Investigation, he reports that present in
dications promise the largest crops ever raised
in The West Thisapphes not ouly to grain,
but TO all other staple products of that section.
The farmers, who secured good crop last year
and obtained the cash for it, are now, be says,
generally freely from debt and in most salts
factory condition. Stimulated by their sue
cess last season, they have planted a much
larger area than ever before, and their abor,has
been seconded by unusually favorable wealth
err. The crops are now so vigorous and far
advanced that it is thought no subsequent
changes of weather can seriously affect the
| harvest. He reports business in the Western
cities as generally dull, but not near so dull
as in New York. Both merchants have as
rule, been very cautious in their purchases,
and the country is bare of goods. The coun-
try trade is growing very active, however, and
the largest jobbing house in Chicago is doing
a heavier business than ever before. It's MEM
bers say that their collections in the country
| were never so good and that their trade this
year will probably amount to $40, 900, 900.
large firm of pork packers and grain commits
sion merchants, having houses both in Illinois
and Indiana, expressed similar views. saying
| that in twenty years experience they had
never known such favorable prospects for the
| crops throughout the West The prospects
| for the railroads and for business generally
are said to be correspondingly favorable.

The PoTATo BUo.--Considering the interes,
attaching to this pest, and which is at this
time so seriously njuring the potato, we know
OF nothing calculated 10 attract general atten-
ton more effectualy than accurate history
OF the bug aud its habits and such a history
will be found on the third page Of this paper,
copied from the official report OF the Agricul-
tural Department for 1871. From il the inqui-
rer will discover that there are two insects
closely resembling each other, one of which is
comparatively harmless, whilst there are seve-
raj other insects which prey upon the great
Colorado destroyer, and consequently deserve
protection.
Among the newest expedients which have
been suggested, the following from the Cham

qnisites of ease, economy aud harmlessness

THE SIOUX.
General Custer Getting Ready to Go for
their Scalps.

ST.. PAUL, MINI, June l6.--A telegram re-
ceived at General Terry's headquarters to-day
from General Custer, at Fort Lincoln, states
that a small party of Sioux appeared on the
river bank opposite Fort Berihold Agency,
this morning before O. clock, and commenced
firing into the village. The indians from the
agency at once crossed the river and a short
fight ensued, in which five Rees aud one Gros
Ventre were killed, and one Mandam mortally
wounded. This is doubtless the party who
have been threatening for some time the Ber-
thold Agency. The Indians at Fort Lincoln
and a parry Of Arickarees and Mandams, who
have just returned from the Indian Territory,
are wild with excitement. The Indian scouts
can scarcely awaitGen. Clusters movements,
they are so eager for blood scalps, and re-
venge; but they will not have long to wait,
as Clusters cavalry expedition is nearly ready
to leave Fort Lincoln, the final preparations
having been completed by the officers of the
4th cavalry, now ia this city. General Gus
ter expects to move next Sunday, but may
start earlier in consequence of the news.

AN EFFORT TO BE MADE TO BRING THE
swINDLING MANAGERS OF THE FREED
MEMS SAVINGS BANK TO JUSTICE.
SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE WORLD.
WASHINGTON, December 29.-An
effort is to be made to bring the swind-
ling managers of the Fredmen's San
ings Bank to justice by members of
the Banking and Currency Committee
OF the House, but it is not yet deter.
mined how this shall be done. Some
OF the defrauded depositors have peti-
toned Congress to take charge OF the
whole matter, pay off the depositors,
collect what assets can be collected,
and take the balance out of the Treas
ury. The committee will not recon-
mend this but will probably report a
plan for bringing criminal suits against
Henry ID. Cook, and other members of
the Finance Committee, who misap-
piled the funds of the depositors, and
allowed every adventurer who wished
to engage in risky real estate specula-
ton to obtain money on worthless
security, and furnished money freely
to such patriots as o. o. Howard, the
sons of Fred Douglas, and others OF
that sort. 1t is probable, however,
that any efforts to punish these men
will be opposed by the same influences
which defeated the safe burglary pro.

Peninsula Press association.

The adjourned meeting of the publish
ers OF the Peninsula for tho purpose of
more fully enrolling the gentlemen Of
the press in an association, vas a very
pleasant affair, and even more success
ful than was expected, as nearly all those
who are actively engaged in the bust
ness were present. We believe thero
are thirty -seven newspapers in Della
ware and the counties of Maryland and
Virginia forming the Peninsula of these
thirty-three were represented. And the
meetings which have been initiated with
so much harmony should lo continued
in the future. A more fratcrnal feclir g
will ha the resiilt- and acquaintances
formed that will be found beneficial and
lasting. For ourselves, we regret that
we have not had more time to spend in
social way. since, OF course, much of
the short time the gentlemen of the press
spent in Wilmington was devoted to
business. Tho banquet ut the Clayton
House. last evening, given by the Board
OF Trade, was participated in by the en-
tire party and proved to be very spir.
tied and pleasant affair, and the Board
are entitled to the thanks of our entire
city for the display of public spirit the
occasion evinced. We are sure that all
that has been done was fully reciprocated
and doubly repaid our city in the kind
sentiments expressed and the hopes and
wishes promulgated for our future rapid
growth and prosperity; all Of which will
be found fully reported in our local col.
umns.

1t is therefore hoped that all who are
in arrears for subscription will make it
a special duty to cancel their indebted
ness by sending us the amounts due in
money orders or in cash. Prompt action
in this matter will obhge us and enable
us the more readily to meet the extra
