BANGOR, Aug 10.-In anticipation of the
Congressional Convention tomorrow scores of
politicians from different sections of the dis
trict arrived in the city tonight to participate
in the events of the morrow. The excitement
is intense tonight. Knots of anxious ones are
seen in every corner. Conspicuous at nearly
all points are the friends of baffled Powers.
Their wrath is even greater than on yesterday,
and their threats are loud and numerous. Their
clamorings receive bit little attention from the
friends of Mr. Plaisted, who feel sure their can
didate will be nominated, and furthermore,
elected.
Powers arrived tonight by cars, and was inn
mediately surrounded by his friends. His pol
icy is to keep clear Of the convention and have
his admirers do the same. He is still deter
mined on no compromise whatever. 1t is ex
pected considerable discussion Of an animated
character will occur in the convention over
Aroostook's right to the nomination. Several
eminent gentlemen of this city and county it is
understood will advocate: the claims of the
county. The matter of the apportionment of
delegates by the District Committee, which
has caused considerable i'll feeling, will also be
taken up, and it is expected will be handled
severely.

wheat is nearly now harvested. 1t shows a
splendid crop in many portions of the state
the best ever known. The whole is fully up to
the average, while more bushels to the acre
will be realized than anticipated Spring
many places church bugs have destroyed whole
fields, but this is compensated for in the excess
sive growth in other localities. Rye will be a
fair crop. Oats will yield an abundant har-
vest Barley will be about usual crop. Hay
crop will be nearly double that of last year.
Corn generally late and has suffered severely
from the drought. Still with fair weather for
few weeks the yield will be fair. Potatoes
suffered somewha. from bugs and drought, but
the crop will be very large. Flax crop will be
almost failure. Altogether the year proves a
most excellent one for Wis. farmers.

Miners Preparing 10 Leave.

CHEYENNE. w. T., Aug. 1O.-Gen. Crook
and Col. Stanton returned here to-day from the
Black Hills. Miners were preparing to leave,
covering up the richest lodes to prevent their
being discovered till such time as they can
return. There were about 1900 miners in the
Hills, and great deal of preliminary work
had been done in the way of bitches
and sluices. There were no Indians in
the vicinity and few had been seen. Those at
the agencies were still demanding that the
miners be driven out. Some gold was panned
out in the presence of the party, which yielded
IS cents to the pan. There is an abundance of
water and grass, also timber for building, but
the mine was not of the highest merchantable
value. The town called Stonewall had been
laid out in Clusters Gulch, in the vicinity Of
which some rich diggings are located. The
whole country is well adapted to grazing and
farming. Troops are now en- route to establish
a temporary post near Stonewall for the pur-
pose of keeping out the miners. Prof. JAN
ney's party are still exploring the Hills. and
will probably remain till the middle of Octo-
Der. Gen. Crook leaves tomorrow for Omaha.

The Situation Along the Mississippi.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 1O.-The Avalanche
has a lengthy review of the situation along the
river. In the Memphis district the summing
of cotton already in the water is about 1000
acres. While the situation is more hopeful
than few days since, sleepless vigilance is
necessary on the part of those whose lands are
threatened. The danger to the fine plantations
in Walnut Bend. 60 miles below, is from the
back water in the st. Francis, which last week
extended up to Wettsbnrg, distance of 1870
miles. A well known planter of North Missis.
sippi, writing from Atlanta, Ga, und er date of
9th inst, to firm here says:
THE crops for 60 miles east of Memphis
have suffered very much for want of rain.
From there to Decatur they are pretty good.
Going south from Birmingham to Montgom-
cry, 100 miles, and thence east 65 miles through
the cotton country, have never seen such an
entire failure of the crops Thousands of acres
will not make bushels of corn per acre, and
not over 80 pounds of seed cotton, From Ope-
lika to Columbus Ga, it really looks like star
vatioD. 1t is so dry and hot that even trees
are dying and shedding their leaves as in au-
tumn. ALI the rain in the world could not
change the result now. From West Point to
here the crops present very sorry appearance.
Corn will make about bushels per acre, and
cotton about hundred pounds.
