WE have of late been examining our
country exchanges, which include the
leading country papers Of nine or ten
States in the West, for information as to
the fruit or grain crops. And we are
gratifed to find from all quarters the
most encouraging prospects for full
crop of wheat, large acreage Of corn
ard oats, the grass excellent, and fruit
abundant. In some localities peaches
and the earlier pears and cherries will
be few and far between. But other re-
gions give promise OF abundance; SO
that the country at large VIII be
reasonably well supplied. The apple
crop and summer small fruits will be in
full abundance.

Our Centennial G Correspondence
Correspondence Of the Star.
PHILADELPHIA, May 13. 1876.

Correspondence Of the Star.
PHILADELPHIA, May 13, 1876.
In my former letter giving briet ac-
count of the opening ceremonies of the
Great Exposition, was compelled to
write hurriedly and in the midst of per.
petual Interruptions. But now matters
are settling down into quietude, il such
thing can be imagined in crowd num-
bering tens of thousands. It is order
evolved from chaos compared with
"opening day." Then everybody
wanted to be on hand first. All must be
at Memorial Hall at the same hour in
order to witness the opening ceremonies,
to hear the music and the speeches, and
to see the distinguished visitors, both
foreign and domestic.
For a hundred thousand people to be
at the same spot at the same moment
and with five miles to go before that place
could be reached, necessarily involved
most clamorous demands for horse power
and vehicular accommodations. Then
the transportation companies, the hack
men, the expressmen, the carmen, all
men with equipments having four legs
and four wheels, no matter what the
name or what the style, had things all
their own way and dictated their own
terms. But two days have changed all
that. Now there is no specified moment
when the hundred thousand must arrive.
The consequence is that the transporta-
ton men now are as clamorous for pas.
sengers as on Wednesday the passengers
were clamorous for the men; and the
fare, instead Of dollar, is now but a
quarter OF that respectable sum. This
will show that the transit accommoda.
tions during the continuance OF the Ex-
position will be abundant and not extor-
tionate in the fare; and this is important
that the public should know.
The same change for the better Is OBJ.
servable in regard to commissary ae-i
commodations. On Opening Day every
body became hungry and thirsty at
once. All were hurried to meet time;
and everything eataDle was ssgobbled'
in no time. Now, people can take their
Refreshments more at convenience, and
can be reasonably well supplied, with
out exIravagant charge. These things \
are the result OF order and SYSTEM; and
will doubtless be still further Improved
and provided tor, as things become still
more settled and systematized.
The things that first attract tie atten-
tion OF visitors are really not parts of
the Exposition at ALL They are the
strange habiliments. and unique man
ners Of foreign people, workmen and
others, who are now here. seen for the
first time. Among these cufiosities the

THAT "complete letter writer" which
his name is Fitzhugh, is about to tender
his resignation as the Great Begun of
the House of Representatives. to
meet the man who named his son ~
Wilkes Booth" Fitzhugh's ''spanking
team" of which he made inglorious
boast, has not come around yet; but
some ugly documents in the shape OF
old INDICTMENTS for arson and charges
of perjury are appearing to disturb his
dignity. The Texas delegation, by whom
his election was favored, have signified
that Fitz. will tender his resignation as
short cut to get himself liberated from
the greatness that was thrust upon him.
