The returns from the thrcshers furnish basis for
an estimate of tho probable Yield of wheat in this
state. The whole average is much better than last

is the poorest in the southern counties, where the
average yield is from ten to twelve bushels, and
steadily improves to the NORTH tin il reaches twenty
to twenty-five in the Rod River Valley. The grade

THE VESSELS FROM NAvAssA ISLAND NOT IN
FECrED
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD1
WnMINGroN, N. c., August s. 1870.
The report sent to the HERALD from Norfolk in
regard to tho alleged to have been discharged
from quarantine here and hurried north by
authorities has done injustice to this city. The
schooner E. s. Powell and the British bark T.. Il.
Gregory arrived from Navassa Island a perfectly
healthy port. on tho 10th of july after voyage OF
twenty five days. She brought clear and clean bill
of health. but was nevertheless quarantined five
days and thoroughly fumigated. She was loaded
with phosphates, the ammonia in which is itself
good dsinfectant. After being quarantincd
she went to the Navassa Works, above
tho city. and thero discharged her cargo at
the hands OF her crew. Tho time of the crew had
expired. and they wanted to be discharged they
paid off and allowed to leave but in an excess
of caution were not allowed to the city. Tho
Powell Is now in the river below tho city, with her
captain, mate and steward still board and has not
had u days sickness while here. These facts were
te,egraphed to the Norfolk authorities ON Saturday
night in response to inquiries from them. and
doubtless exaggerated by them their dread of
fecton.

A Female Crusoe.

The San Francisco journals contain an ac-
count OF what they call Californian Crusoe,
an Indian woman who had, for eighteen years
lived alone on drearY desert island, and was
finally discovered and taken off by the crew of
vessel in search of her. Many years ago
small schooner was sent to the island of San
Nicholas, in the Pacific, some seventy five
miles southeast of Santa Barbara. to bring
away number of Indians living there and set,
tie them on the mainland. Nineteen man
women and children had been got on hoard
when one OF them. mother, found that two OF
her offspring had been left hehind. She imme-
d1ately Jumped overheard and swan to the L.
land where she sought in vain for her chill
dren. Having returned to the shore, she saw
tos schooner sailing away, and tried in vain to
attract attention, The island was not visited
again Tor sixteen years. Then George Nidever,
an otter hunter commanding small vessel,
landed there aud detected evidences of human
habitatiou, but could not stay long enough to
prosecute his quest. Two years after, he sailed
there again, aud, roaming over the island, came
upon the woman, who Was not at all wild and
made no effort to escape. She was clad in a
garment fashioned of the skin of a ses fowl
and was occupied in skinning seal-blubbsr
which had formed the greater part of her diet
She was quite good-looking seemed about so
years old, aud spoke q language nobody could
understand She died few weeks after reach
ing Santa Barbara, while living 10 the house of
Nidever, from the effects of fail seriouslv in
Juring her spine. Her death was mueh
mourned by several eoterprisiog show wmso in
San Francisco, who had offered handsome
sums for the privilege of exhibt ting her throuoh
the country as the Unique aud Eotirely Won.

many words "slnce the close of the war in.

the Republic" Last Fourth of July he made
aspeech in Mississippi which was an elabor-

the South, unless it can succeed in restoring
the old doctrine of state sovereignty to its
fullest extent, will have a perfect right to
rebel again. This is the man whom the

A WASHINGTON special says the candi-
dates for places about the Capitol, especially
those OF the senate wing, are already appear
ing In shoals. 1t is estimate ed that there will
be between five and ten thousand candidates
for the positions on the House and Senate
rolls by the time Congress meets, and the
number will undoubtedly be nearer the latter
figure than the former. Aside from the
question of spoils, a strong feeling is already
beginning to manifest itself over the sharp
antagonisms, which are inevitably to exist be-
tween the Democrats in the Senate and
many of those in the House. 1t is accepted
as certain that the Senate finance committee
will be under the lead of Mr.. Bayard as
chairman, and that it will be decidedly a
hard-money committee. The House, on the
other hand, will contain large soft-money
element, Independent of the more extreme
greenback men. 1t is admitted by many
Democrats that the two houses will differ
quite as sharply on the money issue as the
Republicans and Democrats have differed on
the general issues between the parties. The
hard-money element in the Senate among
outside Democrats will support Mr.. Randall
for Speaker. The greenback men are max
ing great display of confidence. They talk
as if both the other parties were in minori-
ty, and assume that they will organize the
House as matter of course. They do not
as yet receive credit for having any of that
courage and endurance which cause men of
deep conviction to stand together for princi-
ple's sake against all opposition. In fact, a
number of them are already regarded as quite
open to available trades. General Butler,
W.D. Kelley and General Ewing are among
their volunteer guardians. Butler is bent on
holding them together. Kelley thinks he, as
a Republican, can secure their votes, and
Ewing is credited with believing he can pre-
vail upon them to act with the Democrats.
