CRoPs. -Notwithstanding the late ness of the season, the extreme wet weather and the many circumstances that seemed to set in against the farmer ; the prospect for good crop is very aattering. Corn in this section and elsewhere, so far as we can learn, is looking very fine. In the older States they anticipate fine yield of corn ; while the wheat crop is better than was expected by any in the earlier part of tiie season. Of cotton we can learn but little ;; the general opinion however is the crop will be light.

No folly has yet proven ltselt so great as the efforts made by the radical party to reconstruct the Southern States. Reconstruct, according to the best au- thorities, is to build up; and if their object was really what it purports to be; if they desired to bring the coun- try back to its past position if princi- pie was the great controlling motive that moved in them the spring of ac- ton, this work would have been ac- complished ere this. Of what benefit have been amnesty oaths2 What is the true meaning of, or what is to be ac- complished by "an act for the more ef ficient government of the rebel States" Do all these things tend to reconstruc- ton, or are they not each a blow to cripple the South and bring her more directly within the power of that party whose sole object is individual gain and party spleen. We were told at the time of surrender that we should be protected, and honest men thought that this meant peace. Other measures were adopted, and requirements made, sll of which we accepted in good faith, but with no satisfactory results. Now they come to us with oil upon their tongues and tell us they mean we'll Brigadier Generals are appointed to rule over us to set aside law l; to disre- gard the customs of the country--to take from officers their rightful au- thority, making themselves dictators !; all for what--"thc more efficient gov ernment of the rebel States" How arc the States better governed; does it improve our government to tax us for registration, and give us no guarantee that it will in the least degree benefit us. We agree with all that thorough reconstruction is consummation de- voutly to be wished for, but with us the great enigma is how shall this be reached. We are told to register, to vote for convention to frame State constitution, accepting the constitu- tional amendment, and our State shall be admitted into the Union! with all the privileges thereof. But we are not of those who believe these things. If the radical party would keep faith with us and acknowledge and abide by the great truth, that a maj jority in the State shall rule the State, then might we have some hope. A majority of the regis tered voters in the State are certainly anti-radical. These, if allowed to vote for members of convention, would certainly elect such men as would re- fleet their sentiments. A constitution framed by such men, while in its gem eral terms it accepted and acknowl- edged the situation, if it failed to sat- isfy the party in power, would be of no avail and judging by the past, we ask what benefit would accrue to us. We arc not of those who oppose con- vention, nor, do we now advocate the measure. We have but to say with our present blindness, regarding what the radical party mean by reconstruction, or what they intend to accomplish by the measures now before the people, it is premature to say that acquiesence IS for our good. We have waited and watched for good to come out of evil and lost in fog as we are, we must vel wait for the dawn of the day, that we may see to work.

our countrymen (the Irish Though not even in

Two bills will be introduced into Con.

ton. They are both strong, and will be
briefly considered, and it is believed that
the final action on the measure will be
reached as early as Wednesday. The
measure will command the necessary two.
thirds vote, and the President aware Of
this will not, it is thought, detain the bill
for any considerable length of time, but
will send in his veto message at once This

SANTA ANNA, who lett this country some
time since, and doubtless for the purpose
Of effecting landing at Vera Cruz, that
he might inaugurate new rebellion in
poor, distracted Mexico, and thus place
himself and his tools again in power there,
is now no more. He met his fate the other
day at sisal, and has Joined in that land
beyond the vale MAMMALIAN, MEJrA, and
MIRAMoS. They will disturb no more the
peace Of the Mexican Republic. President
JuAREz, who appears to be the choice of
the people, for all they can now do to the
contrary, will henceforth preside over the
affairs Of the nation; and whatever may
be thought or said of these men and the
manner their taking of, one good and sal
utary lesson will come Of it. Foreigners
and usurpers will henceforth regard it as q
dangerous game to interfere with the peo-
pies rule on this side of the Atlantic. II
was strange infatuation that led SANTA
ANNA to make this hazardous attempt to
again rule Mexico. He was too old to
succeed, and what capacity he had left
could work no good, but must have been
productive Of mischief. The world can
only regard him as traitor, and he has
met traitors fate. 1t may prove warn
ing to some people nearer home.


1t will be well for the Archbishop of
Mexico If he escape similar fate msted
out to those named above. He is said to
have been one Of the chief conspirators
against the liberties Of his country


We are writing chiefly Of SANTA ANNA
and OF the cause and manner Of his death,
and while we write, there comes to us the
declaration that all Europe is filed with
indignation at the death Of MACMILLAN
1t is known to our readers that we were
opposed to tho shooting Of MAMMALIAN,
and we state the fact that it would have
been better to have banished him. Our
sympathies, however, have been, and are
now, with JUAREz and his brave people,
and they are now able, Notwithstanding
this indignation, to say to these foreign
governments, you sent your usurpers to
eo w oupJuBotC uhu uOulluttT over us, ana
when you ask us what this means we re.
ply, there lie their corpses, what are you
going to do about ii? And what can they
do about it? Will they attempt another
invasion? We shall see. The United
States is not now involved in n civil war


England will undoubtedly expend con-
siderable indignation over this execution
OF MACMILLAN, because she had acknowl-
edged his government, and her Lords and
Parliament must show becoming respect
for the man whom she sustained upon his
usurper's throne. France also will rave
and make much ado, so that, if possible,
NAroLEoN's completely, in bringing this
young prince to an unhappy end, may be
covered up.


1t may not be amiss to remind England
that she had CHARLES l., and his grave
is with her even to this day. France, too,
had her LOUIS XVI.


As nobody will be disposed to make
much fuss about poor, old SANTA ANNA,
we can let him pass. With regard to the
shooting of the Archduke of the House
OF Hapsburg, it may be different. We
hardly think, however, that the Great
Powers of Europe will deem it wise to as
sail or invade Mexico on this account, but

THREATENED INDIAN DIFFIcULIEs.-Ws
learn with much regret that disturbance i,
likely to arise between our people and the
Nez Percc Indians. 1t seems that Ger tain
white men insist upon cutting wood on Craig's
mountain, adjacent to Lapwai valley, which
the Indians claim is in violation Of their
rights. The white men attempt to iustiF1
the act on the grounds that the wood is be,
ing cut for the party who has the contract
to furnish wood to the military post at the
Lapwai; and it seems. that they are sustained
in this view by the officers in command.
There is no question but that these Indians
have general cause of complaint against our
people. The promises made Oh the part of
our Government in their favor, have seldom
ever been observed, and its plighted faith TO-
wards them has often been violated. In
1855 the whites wanted a portion of their
country, and consequently the Indians had
10 relnquish it. In 1861 again, the whites
wanted another portion of their country, and
again the Indians were compelled to treat
for its cession; and without a compliance
with the stipulations of either treaty the
Indians will soon be forced to draw them>
selves into the narrow limits of small re-
served part; and even there they are pursued
by the rapacity of the white mau, -Lepiston

THE EASTERN WHEAT CRoP.-From the
best and most reliable information that
can be gathered, it appears that the average
of winter wheat is about as large as last year.
In some of tho principal wheat growing
States it is less, but in many of the South
ern States, the increased breadth sown COM
pensates for the falling off in other States.
In point of " condition the facts are still
more encouraging Nearly all of the States
show an improvement in the quality of the
grain-rangiug from seven to one hundred
aud sixty per cent. over the crop of last
year. The average of spring wheat is largely
increased-rauging from 25 to 90 per cent


over the crop of last year, in the several
wheat producing States. This increase in
breadth will tell preceptibly upon the aggre.
gate yield. 1t has been estimated, from
data in possession of the Agricultural De.
partment, at Washington, that at least two
hundred millions of bushels may be expected

Montesquieu tells us that ''iu tn,

 birth of societies it is the chiefs of tho

 republic who form the institution, an6 Tn the sequel it is the institution whicl

 forms the chiefs of the republic.p Tc certain extent this is doubtless true

 Thus while in one sense we may regard such patriots and statesmen as Webster

 Calhoun, and Clay as the legitimate creation of the beneficent government and liberal institutions established by the founders of our republic, we can. not, by the most violent stretch of the imagination, trace the origin of dema- gogues and fanatics, such as Sumner

 Wade, and Stevens to so onoble source. And yet there is no denying the fact that the latter, sectional and essentially unrepublican in their views as they un- questionably are, measured by the old constitutional standard, are the domi- nant power in the existing government, the chiefs DE FAcTo of the so-called re- public of the United States.

 On the assumption that the apothegm of Montesquieu is axiomating this con dition ofthings is decidedl y anomalous and it would seem that the only satis- factory solution of the difficulty is to be found in the theory that, the repub- lie of our fathers having already ceased to exist by reason of the destructive effects of abolition fanaticism, a new government essentially sectional and despotic in its character is in process of formation. And certainly the open contempt and entire disregard of the constitutional provisions and traditions Of government forming the basis of our system, manifested in all the acts of those who have had control of pub lie affairs for the last six years, taken in conjunction with the no less omin- ous and significant attempt to change the form of government by gradual de- grees so as to conform to their present and past action, tends, to say the least, to give plausibility to the theory.

 It were well for the American peo- pie to examine carefully, before it is forever too late, the system for which the present ''ehiefs of the republics arc bartering off the free government in- herited from our fathers We think there are few who in their hearts will fail to agree with us flat system of which unprincipled political charlatans like those constituting the congression- al majority are the legitimate repre-

 sentatives, does not promise to com birth to patriotic officials to whom the welfare of the nation was the first and highest consideration, and produced an array of statesmen whose brilliant oratory was unsurpassed in the history of the world. If thepeople would not have our form of government changed, as the administration under it has al- ready been changed to conform to the anti-republiean views of intolerant, selfish and mprincipled leaders, they must speedily take action in the prem ises by disposeessing such false and treacherous leaders. and substituting in their stead honest and faitn..ul men, who will restore affairs to the condition In which they were placed by the e'cliefs of the republic' who formed our insti- tutions. Not until this is done will there be any security for constitutional liberty Louisville Courier. tl.

A young man. who had strong de- sire to be wealthy, was visited by His Satanic Majesty, who tempted him to dispose of his soul for eternity, if he could be supplied on earth with all the money he could use. The bargain was concluded, the Devil was to supply the money, and was at last to have the soul, unless the young man could spend more money than the Devil could furnish. Years passed away; the man married, was extravagant in his living, built palaces, speculated wildly, lost and gave away fortunes, and yet his cofiers were always full. He turned politician, and bribcd his way to honor and fame, and yet his pile of gold was not reduced. He became a filibuster, and fitted out ships and armies, but his banker honored all his drafts. He went to Massachusetts to live, and paid the usual rate of interest for all the money he could borrow but, all though the Devil made faces when he went to pay the bills, yet they were all paid. One eNpedicnt after another failed. The Devil counted the time only two years that he must wait for the soul, and he mocked the efforts of the despairing man. One more trial was resolved upon. The man started a newspaper. The Devil began to grumblc. The bill, at the expiration of six months, made him savage, he grew melancholy at nine, and broke as fiat as founder at the end of the year!

The Mercantile Times gives the fol- lowing seasonable rules for ryoung mer commencing business: l

 The world estimates men by their success in life--and, by general consent, success is evidence of superiority.

 Never, under any circumstances, as- sume responsibility you can avoid consistently with your duty to your- self and others.

 Base all your actions upon principle of right; preserve your integrity of character, and in doing this, never reckon the cost.

 Remember that self-interest is more likely to warp your judgment than all other circumstances combined; there fore look well to your duty, when your interest is concerned.

 Never make money at the expense of your reputation. usif

 Be neither lavish nor niggardly; of the two, avoid the latter. A mean man is universally despised, but public ia 

 vor is stepping stone to preferment- therefore generous feelings should be cultivated.

 Say but little-think much-and do more. faF

 Let your expenses be such as to leave a balance in your pocket. Ready mon ey is a friend in need. o aaisg98

 Keep clear of the law for, even if you gain your case you are generally a loser of money.

 Avoid borrowing and lending.

 Wine drinking and cigar smoking are bad habits. They impair the mind and pocket, and lead to waste of time.
