The PROPOSED ABOLITION OF THE
WAsHISGTCN NAVY YARD.-Thrrr j. a
wrong impression prevailing in some quar-
tiers with regard To the proposed sale OF the
navy yard here While the Senate Naval
Committee have made a report on all the
navy yards. in which they recommend the
abolition ~ the Washington yard. they have
not gone so far a. to take any legislative
action upon the report, AM will not do SO at
this session. The committee have no bill be-
lore them on the subject. nor has 2ny been i'm
troducOd OF deferred. and consequently no
action will be taken, if at AL at present
The Naval Committees OF the next Congress
rHay take quite a different view regarding
the importance of this yard, the abolition of
which seems 10 meet with no favor in any
quarter.

Our Crop Reports.

We print this morning special tele-
graphic reports of the prospects Of the
crops from some hundred aud tifty or
more towns in Ohio, Indiana, and ILL.,
nois. In connection Herewith we
also publish letter from our special
correspondent, who is looking up the
condition of the crops in Whitewater
Valley, in Indiana. These reports
cover nearly all the territory that
week ago was suffering from the
floods.
They show that the situation Is not
so bad as the accounts, which were
furnished while the fields were under
water, would have led one to suppose.
Had it not been for the excessive rains
of the last two months, crops of all
kinds would have been immense. AS
it is, there is going to be great deal
more saved than was expected week
ago. Crops on the bottom lands have
suffered extremely, but those on the
second bottom lands aud on the up
lands promise still good yield.
Wheat and oats have suffered, as
was to have been expected, the most.
Estimates of the wheat crop vary from
a loss of 10 to 70 per cent. The places,
however, that report n yield of only
one-quarter of an average crop are
comparatively few. 1t is safe to count.
upon two-thirds of an average crop,
taking the flooded country through.
Oats do not promise as well as wheat.
The rains have injured the crop every
where. Less than half the usual crop
will be saved.
Corn promises very well. Most ems
couraging reports are received from
many places, some counties reporting
double the amount ever harvested be-
fore. UnfavOrable accounts come from
comparatively few sections. Should
the weather continue favorable there
were will be more than an average
yield.
The yield of potatoes bids fair to be
very large. There are complaints of
the rot from several places, but by far
the larger number of correspondents
agree in saying that the yield will be
greatly above the average.
The hay crop is better in quantity
than quality. There is little reason to
apprehend that the general yield will
fall much short of the average.
These reports will dispel much of the
apprehension which has been felt du-
ring the last week. While the crops
in the Ohio Valley are not what the
country had reason to expect prior to
the great rains, the damage that has
been done is much less than was antic-
ipated.
The country is not yet on the road to
the "demnition bow-wows" by great
deal. 4 man can afford to wear a
cheerful countenance after going
through with these reports, without
running the risk of being accused of
grinning over general calamity

A Relic Of the Past.

Capt. Nicholson brought to town
considerable of a curiosity in the shape
of "A small image or idol, which seemed
to be formed out of red clay and hard
ened in some manner. 1t represented
a human face and form in a kneeling
posture, with the turband head bowed
as if in prayer. On the back, which is
somewhat bumped up, " an aperture
in the shape and size of pipe bowl,
with another small aperture at right
angle to the larger one. The Captain
explains that the image was probably
used as an idol for worship by the
mound builders or some prehistoric
race, as the Indians are not known to
have had idols. The mortice in the
back Of the figure was used, it is sup
posed to burn incense, This pre-his-
toric relic was plowed up the other day
in one Of Capt. Nicholson's fields,
which had been considerably washed
by the flood of last spring. 1t has been
deposited with Mr.. j. NJ. Denning,
and will add not little to his already
interesting collection of Indian relics.
