CIVIL SERVICE IN 1s45.

Interesting Letter from James buchanan
The following letter from James Bu
chanan, written when he was secretary OF
state under President Polk, will recall a
political episode of thirty-five years age
that will not be without interest in this
latter day of civil service reform. 1t is
marked by the dignified courtesy that was
characteristic of Mr.. Buchanan's S personal
and political relations with those who en-
joyed his acquaintance during his public
career and which trait of character contribu-
ted so largely to giving a worldwide rcputa-
ton to White House hospitality and Ell
quette during his occupancy of the execu-
tive mansion. The letter was written prior
to the days of the general use of envelopes.
and went through the mails simply folded
together and sealed on the back with a
drop of wax. The figure g ) - stamped Oh
the upper right hand corner answers the
purpose now supplied by our more modern
postage stamp. The letter is addressed in
Mr.. Buchanan's clear and elegant chirog-
raphy to the late John Dougherty. esq, Of
this city, in whose family it is yet cherish

public engagements, for so long having
neglected TO answer your letter.
Please TO remember me in the kindest
terms to our friend Mr.. Keenan,. and be-
!eve me to remain your friend,

The Crops.

From our correspondence. and cx.
changes we conclude that, though
there may be some exceptions, the
general result of the what crop in thi,
State will be a disappointment. The
dry and hot weather in May seemed
to have had The result Of forwarding
the usual date Of harvest, and at the
came time of diminishing the yield
which from the growth OF straw and
TIE healthy appearance Of the plant
dad promised in most quarters full
average crop IN quantity. Now in
many cases this will necessarily be
subject to a discount Of from one
fourth TO one half, whilst many com.
plants exist Of the inferior quality OF
the grain, much Of which is small and
shrunken.
The early grass crops suffered Sc
eerely by drought, and clover will be
short. Timothy, in most cases, has
recovered, thanks to the rains, but
cannot make full crop, or near it.
Corn generally is backward, and there
was much trouble to get stand. 70.
bacco plants were very scarce, and
area planted is thereby much restrict
ed. The peach crop promises to be an
average one-quite as large probably
as can be handled with proft-Anler.

The EIessian Fly.

It. is advised to SOW part Of
the wheat early, and if affected by the
fly to put in the rest Of the seed after
September 30, whicn will, in most ca
ses, save the crop. By destroying the
first brood the second will not appear.
, Partially affected wheat may be
saved by the use Of fertilizers and
careful cultivation; and, if winter

in spring.
3 1t is stated that OF the eggs. lar.

by pasturing with sheep, and close
