We have watched closely, and published impartially, accounts of the crops from the first appearance of their vernal life till the present time, when we begin to hear of the husbsndman’s return for his agricultural labors. There has bven all along an undue amount of eroaking, either brought out by the fears of the over-anxious, or induced by the trafickors in breadstuifs, in orderthat their own selfish interests might be the more speedily advanced, It would, to be sure, be as unwise as untrue tosay that there are no blighted spots in our wide terri- torial flelds, Tho drought which prevailed in the carly Part of the season, was in some sections prolonged until the hopes of the farmer, in respect to his wheat, were cut off; butin many of these sections, as in Maryland for instance, American enterprise brought the hoe where the Larrow had already been, and in place of sickly and stunted wheat and kindred grains, a vigorous growth of maize was soon seen sending its promising shoots up- ward, as if in derision of the demon blight who seemed thus foiled in the attempt to cut short the hopes of the tiller of the soil. We have, of late, had a most delight fal altornation of rain and sunshine; and except from confirmed grumblers, we have good accounts of the cf feot which has been produced upon the flolds of growing grain. One other fact is worthy to be mentioned here— that in many tobacco growing regions, tho carly season being unfavorable, no pains were taken to nourish that “weed,” and two-thirds of the room heretofore allotted to its growth (in some sections of Maryland for instance) is now occupied by spring wheat, rye, oats and Indian cern, From the Eastern States wo Lave the most cheering intelligence. Although the season was somewhat back- ward, yet the requisite rain and sunshine came at lust, and the markets soon began to give the most palpable evidence of the manner in which vegetation was making up fer its long torpor. The fruit crop, which is loeked to with considerable anxiety, now promises unusually well, and accounts state that the yield of the present year bids fair to double that of any one of several previous years. With reference to grain, it is urged with great reasonableness, that even if somo flelds shouldturn out but poorly on account of thelateness of the season, yet the high price of all the varieties of corn has had the ef- fect to induce greater care in the culture, and more ox- tensive sowing, so that the result very likely will be, what somo papers confidently predict, that the coming harvest will yield a greater quantity of breadstuffs than that section hus over before produced in one season. Where the returns are likely to romunerate him, your Eastern man, merchant, farmer, or mechanic, is not likely to neglect the use of the nocessary appliances to ennure success, Now York will not disappoint the hopes of her friends ; tho prospects are, indeed, st the present time, moat ‘flattering. Long Island, with au army of scientific farmers to bring out her resources, presents at the presunt time, such « surface, 48 cuuses expressions ef admiration from travel- lors, who say that at a low estimate the surface sown with grain and planted with vegetables of various do- seriptions, during the present season, doubles that of former yeurs. ‘The highest culture will be practised throu; hout, as has been done aiready, so far as requinite, manures of every description have buen freely bestowed, quantities baving been takwn by railroad from this city to @ distance of nearly ap hundred miles. From Albany aud vieinity the mest favorable accounts are received. Not only is the grain represented us presenting » fine appearance but the grass is also luxuriant, and the pota- (oe vines have the hualthful deep green eolor which gives evidence that, a6 yet, at any rate, disease has not com- menced its work upon their roots. In this vicinity also, ag well as many other counties of the State, hundieds of acresofland that have not before been cultivated for a grain crop, have this year been planted with corn. ‘I'h oat crop. which is not # bad index to the others, looks remarkably fine. The western part of the State also promises to do its share towards supplying the empty sranaries of the destitute from her own overfowing storehouses, New Jersey and Delaware will do their share of pro- ducing. A few weeks since there was considerably fear expressed as to the fate of grain crops in New Jersey, but the late refreshing rains have had the effect to dispel such gloomy apprehensions, and better still, to start vegetation, #0 that an almost iummediate effect was pro- duced in the butter market, where prices have fallen some seven or eight cents on the pound. ‘The farmers are most active, and the earth, or so much of it us falls within the boundaries of the good State of New Jersey, Will be taxed to its utmost, as for instance, “ One man who usually plants five acres of potatoes bas put in six- teon; another has doubled his usual quantity of whent, and a third has improved four or five times the usual quantity of corn ground.” Indeed we find a statement to the effect, that the surface of ground in New Jersey, planted this year with corn, exceeds that of last year by one hundred thousand acres, which, at a low estimate, ought to yield four millions of bushels, more than equi to one-fiteenth of the whole deficiency of the potat crop in Ireland, for 1846. This, as an excess over last your will be an important item, especially when it is conslder- at the opening of navigation this year, New although ro near toour market, had an immense surplus of wheat on hand. Pennsylvania also.sends a cheering note; while her swar- thyminors are delving successfallyainong the mineral rich. es of her thousands of underground chambera,their breth- ren of the upper regions are handsomely rewarded for their labors upoa the soil. The backwardness of tho season was severely felt in somo parts of Pennsylvania, and the winter crops were many of them ruined by the severity to which they were exposed before the spring fairly opened; but the season at length became more propitious, and the farmors went to work with » will, ‘The winter killed grain was succeeded by summer grain, and the prospect of a slim harvest stimulated farmers to the uso of every spar of ground; the consequence will be that Pennaylvania will, at leas:, yield an average crop. Many promise much more for her. Accounts from Ohio are so contradictory that it is diffieult to judge atisfactorily as to what result harvest ‘tim show. he “bulls” and the “bes are not all caged In Wall street, and if we are not mistaken we can distinguish their footprints in some of the corres- pondence from the west. We must, however, say that the favorable statements seem to be less studied than the others; some may construe this into a want of ac- curacy, while they give the croakers credit for spenk- ing from accurate knowledge upon the subject. Wo think there ls an “pparent attempt to put on a poor face. It should be remarked, that in all these accounts the wheat crop alone is the subjeet of remark, and even of this, it is said that the bottom lands promise, an yield, although the ridge lands will not y’ 80 well. There are some indications, which give a decided- ly favorable coloring to the future; among these we may mention that we have accounts of great quantities of strawberries being gathered. Now weather that will ripen strawberries must, we should think, bring forward grain crops, and if the farmers of Ohio are willing to work their lands, spring grains may be cultivated with great succens, We regret that we have such contradic- tory accounts from Ohio, the young giant of the west,as that State is aptly termed. In order that our readers may judge as wells ourselves of the prospects there, we will giv sketch of some of the statements received within a few days. First comos an article giving an ac- count of a terrible hail storm in Preble couuty, hail-stones that fell were as large as hens terrible storm not only cut down whole fiel f grain and orchards of fruit, but it broke windows and killed pigs and geese. This, to say tho least, looks somewhat croakish. The next article begins with a statement that “the wheat in the bottom lands of that State promise an abundant yield, but that the erops on the rit will be poor;” and ends with, “Ohio will produce less wheat this yoar than last,’’ The writer gives no argument to s tain the last proposition, unless the first sentence, which we quote, bo construed into such an argument. We have pext a paragraph from a writer who bad just re! turned from a tour through some of the towns north v1 Newark, (where, it see the land is high.) who rays the wheat fields present a rorry sight, not one being viat- ble which was not badly spotted and very thin. Hecon- cludes with, “unless the low lands de better, there will xot be half @ crop in this county, perbaps not a fourth.” The low lands, it will be remembered, are said to “pro- mise an abundant yield.’ Wenext hear from MeCon- nolaville, and the writer says :—“From personal observa- tion we are sutisfled that there is # prospect ofa fair crop of wheat in our county this season, the croaking of some folks to the contrary notwithstanding.” turn isa very gloomy secount of the effects of “freen- ing out’ which the wheat cropin the neighborhood of Carroliton has experienced, the writer arriving at the conclusion that “there will not be one fourth the quan- tity of wheat harvested in Carroll couuty this season that there was last year, We have next the authority of the State Journal for the following :—* An observing citizen of Columbus, who has recently returned from ® pretty extensive journeying among the counties between the Seioto and Miami, authorisus us to say that the wheat crops look flue, and promise a fuil average yield, with an ordinary season from now until harvest, Another writer? states that “in the fallow grounds and among the lighter soils, wheat has been considerably winter Killed’ in this part of the State, but in ether lands it looks well. In the counties of Richland, Stark, and Wayne, the whoat generally looks well: so in the western part of the State. From all we can learn, there will at least be an average yield in Ohio, and perbaps more.’ One more quotation will suffic There can be no cause to apprehend that Ohio will not have al Cant for her own use, and something to epare ‘for the f Ireland’ next year—should her necessitien mire it. In the vieinity of Z romising prospects, and rain bad | abundance.” These extracts bave been given in order, just as they came to hand, and aro fair representatives of the current expressions. From Micbigan, we have but mengre accounts, but frou all that ean be ascertained, it is fair to muppose, that even with the iueroased exertion which the de mand for wheat will eall out, Michigan will not yield an average crop. She last year furnished for traasporte- tion 1,000,000 barrels of flour, or its equivalent in wheat. ‘The prophets of evil, estimate the surplus of the coming iF at only 250,000 bushels. ‘The truth would proba- Place it Sandee er papers bent eee tim. bounteous ipinate nl year, and the gloomy fore- dodings of the croakers; but ss the crops are not near a " = — = ee maturity in Michigan yet, speculation ts all that can M1!1tary Contribution in Mexico.

From the southern part of the State we bave no very reliable information. but take it for granted that, if the whent crop were likely to fail, the ground ere this is well covered with luxurlant crops of Indian corn. There was plenty of time for its culture, and we have no idew that the enterprising farmers of Illinois have lost any of the opportunities for making up their loss b; winter blight. In the neighborhood of Springfield. it te stated, onu-half of the land sowed in wheat bas been ploughed up and planted with corn, ‘The other half will produce about half a crep; and the farmers there- abouts have made up their minds to wbout a quarter of their usual yield ‘This, of course, is an extreme case, and will sometimes occur in sections where circum: stances combine to cast blighting influences over the fields. Severe winter and the fly combined to destroy the wheat in this district. Wisconsin, although sie sent in but gloomy accounts in the early part of the season, has now recovered herself, and we have a good account of her wheat crops through- out 4 largo part of the Territory, The number of acres sown with whout greatly exceeds that of last year. The Diight reached the southern portion of Racine and Wal- worth counties, but all through the northern, middle, and westorn sections, the stunding grain prosentaa luxu. rant appearance; and it Is conddenily expected that the surplus for export will greatly exceed that of any former year. Last year’s export from the Territory was some- thing over haifa million of bushels. The Wisconsin Sentinet says :—* Thers oun bo little doubt that thi port of wheat and flour from Wisconsin for the present year will reach a million bushels,’’ ‘The wheat crop in some parts of Maryland has been materially injured by the provalenee of a long drouth which prevaiied in the early part of the season, Rain has lately fallen in great abundance, but it was too late to restore the wheat, and but alight yield can be ex- peeted from many of the fields.

On all manufactures of cotton, or of cotton mixed with any other material exeept wool, worsted, and silk, in the plece or in any other form, a duty, as military contribution, of thirty per cent ad val are levied by the 2d, When goods on which the duti weight are imported into said ports in the package, the m the net weight only; and in made duties shall be collected o1 in allowance shall be Sd. The period named inthe sth of said regulations, during which the goods may remain in warehouse be. fore the payment of duties, is extended from thirty to ninety days; and within said period of ninety days an portion of the said goods on which the duties. asd 1ilt- tary contribution, have bean paid, may be takon, after such payment. from the warehouses, and entered free of eny further duty at any other port or ports of Mexico in our military possession; the fucts of the case, with a particular description of said goods, and the statement that the duties thereon have been paid, being certified by the proper officer of the port or ports of re-shipment, 4th. Itis intended to provide by the treaty of peaeo that all goods imported during the war into any of the Mexican ports in our military possessions shall be exempt from any new import duty or confiscation by Mexico, ta the same manner as if said goods had been imported, and aid the import duties prescribed by the government of Mexico, Most respectfully, your obedient servant, . R. J. WALKER, Secretary of the Treasury. To the Parsinest. June 11, 1847. ‘The modifications, as above recommended by the Sec- retary of the Treasury, are approved by me; and the one of great importance to Maryland this year, as many of her tobaceo fields are, this year, planted with it. Virginia promises to. do her share towards feeding the hungry during the coming year, ago, there was considerable complaint and app expressed as to tho reault of the then prevailing drouth, Now, however, a fine growing season cheors the hearts of the planters in the Old Dominion, and the best results promise to reward the agriculturalists, North Carolina will not, probably, have s very largo surplus of wheat, unless matters very soon change for the better, The most reliable information we have, is to the effect, that wheat sown in good time, and on first rate land, will make a good crop; but as a great deal of the wheat in that State is either sown too late, or on old ground, the prospect is that there will not be more than enough for home consumption, if there is sufficient for that. Indian corn is also said to present rather an un- promising appearance in North Carolina. In South Carolina the wheat Is doing well. The early drought was felt here, and some fields were entirely ru- ined before tho the late rains fell, but an abundant har- vent is, from present appearances, only a reasonable ex- pectation in most parts of the State. In fact, the harvest has already commenced in somo districts, and the new wheat has been taken to market, In Georgia the crop of wheat is not expected to come up to tho average mark, ‘Tho prospects for good yield of Indian corn are not at present very flattering, but it is usoless 10 avy anything about tbat’ grain, yet there is still time enough for a good crop to mature before bar- vest time. ‘The grain crops tn Louisiana promtse to be all that their owners could desire. ‘Tho reins which bave lately watered the ds of the South, bave been guiden drops for the planters. nm aud cane in Alabama and Texus, is repre- fering for want of rain, but as we have ac counts of saving showers in Louisiana, we can but hope that they have reached thoss States also, and that there iv no longer reason for complaint, but that both thr maize and‘rugar cane are now growing finely. We hear nu complaints in relatioa to the grain crops in Tennessee, and henes we couciude that there is no reason why the ‘Tenuesseans should complain. Tent soo raises the most cor: jy State in the Union. fH last year’s crop amounted to 67,735,447 bushels. Ken tucky is another gre: owing State,and we hear no complaints of any importance from ber. ‘The wheat flelds throughout the provinces of Canada look eneouraging. We have thus endeavored to present a faithful sum. mary of the prospects of the coming erop, throughout the great wheat and maize grewing districts of the coun. try. We have, in amost instances, merely recorded the statements and reports which prevailed in reference to the subject. ‘Throughout most parts of the country the fate of wheat for the present year, so far as its growth i concerned, is fixed, and the farmers have no new evil but rust to fear. In relation to the corn erop the ease is quite different. It requires a peculiar climate to perfect it, and a warm June and July sun is no lees requisite than a forbearing October, for an early frost will materi- ally injure the kernel. Ofthis grain, then, it would be idle to predict whether we are to have a large or small yieid. But from what we are able to present, we certain- ly can see no reason why consumers of breadstuffs in our own country should be subject to tho enormous tax which’ the greatest prospective scarcity ought only to subject them to. week has been but a common one fer the sea- We have hada heavy rain, and the first common cool spell on the quartering of the moon for June, and this pleasant weather will ayy. 6 end to-day—and give the planters till the next change the bert season to make the rowing, crop.

C., Ji rune 9. The weather on Red River has been very untayorable this season for the planters, being cold and dry. The cotton crop particularly looks very unpropitious, be- ing more or less withered and stunted. Some time sinee, much apprehension of the catterpillar was entertaine it beimg reported that great quantities of the fly mon pure worms were in our fields. We have not late- ly, however, says the Republican, heard any thing of them, and therefore believe that it was false alarm.— Vicksburg sentinel, June 8. Speaking of the crops in Avoyelless, the Marksville Villager says:——“Tho crops are suffering in the prairie from want of rain, particularly the eorn. The canes look promisingly, and the planters will, in all probability, bo amply rewarded for their enterprise.” i | The Cotton Atanama.—News trom the canebrake region in Ala- bama, represents the crops there in a flourishing condi- tion. The lice had begun their work, but were killed off by the hot sun which succeeded their advent. From the Mobile Tribune, of Sunday, 6th instant, wo gather the following information regarding the grow: ing crop in that State: “Our intelligence in regard to the growing cotton crop is of very unfavorable character. The planting season, it will be remembered, was succe ed in many places by a drought of several weeks con- tinnance, ‘which tly retarded vegetation, though generally good stands were obtained, But the subso- quent h avy rains and cool weather have wrought a change. We are informed verbally, and from privat letters, that in most of the best cotton producing cou ties, the plant has been attacked with lice, “ sore shin, &e., and on some plantations withered and dried wy Some {inprevement will, of course, follow change of weather, but the serious ii ay Aeron sustained cannot under any circumstances, be fully repaired.” The secounts from Galveston of the 29th ult., state that fine rains had fallen in that ga and it pre- sumed through all southern Texas. ‘The erop had been suffering greatly from drought, aud it was believed the rains fell soon enough to save them. The Red River (Texas) Republican ofthe 22d ult., has the following:—*The weather has been very unfa- vorable this season for our planters, being cold and dry. ‘The cotton crop particularly lool ery unpropitiou being more or less withered and stunted. ime tim since much apprehension of the caterpillar was enter- tained, it being reported that great quantities of the fly aud simon-pure worms were in our fields, We have not lately, however, heard anything of them, and therefore believe that it was a false alarm.” Axaany, June 12, 1847, The Assault upon Mr. Edwin Creswell. ‘Thero is nothing to palliate the folly of the unexpect- ed ausault upon the person of Mr. Edwin Croswell, tho editor of the Albany Argus, in the main streot of Albany to-day.

JAMES K POLK. NAVAL NEWS. [From the New Orleans Picayune, Juno 5.] U, 8. Bric Porrorr, New Orleans, June 4. Herewith you have a list of the officers of this vessel, just returned from a long and arduous cruise in the Gulf. ‘The officere are :—William E. Hunt, Lieutenant Com- manding ; James A. Doyle, Ist Lieutenant; George Maulsby, Passed Assistant Surgeon; R, H. Wyman, Act- ing Master; Beverley Randolph, Passed Midshipman; Watson Smith, Midshipman; William A. Doyle, Cap- tain’s Clerk; A. F. ‘Thompson, Boatswain, I can give you but little news. Commodore Perry hoisted the American flag at the town of Laguna, on the Island of Carmen, Yucatan, on the 17th of April, the Porpoise firing @ national salute, and the American resi- dents, with the officers and crews of the men-of-war, then in port, giving the atars and stripes a hearty cheer. The Commodore, on the same day, called a meeting of the authorities, inviting the merchants to attend, and in- formed them that he had taken possession of the islaud, and would hold it and its dependeucies until the clone of the war, and declared the port open to the commerce of all nations By thus holding Laguna, and its dependencies, all communication between Vuestan und Texus, by water, ean be prevented. The bomb brig Vesuvius was left at Laguna, and Lieutenant Case detached from this vessel and wppointed, temporarily, collector or superintendent of the customs, Com. Perry returned to Vera Cruson the 24th ult. and bis intention was, as roon as he had arranged some business matters there, to return to Laguna, visit Campeachy, where the sloop of wa brig Washington had already preceded bi pose of making inquiry concerning certain de with the int i modore bad ad that in the ° catecos have the war, our government has been tromted with the most contemptible duplicity; and his intention was, as declared to the authorities at Laguna, in case they did not absolve themselves from all ec - tion and intercourse with the Mexican States, and ad. here to their absolution, to “sack aud destroy” the sity of Campeachy, and such other places on the seaboard as pursued the same course: The Porpoise left Lagunaon the 19th ult. for Vera Crus, carrying passen © that place the family of Mr. MeFaul. our late consul at Laguga, who disappeared some time since near the Tabasco river (supposed to be drowned) ; aleo, Mr. £.7'. Harrison, passenger, and Sapt, White, master of the English bark Mathew Pieree, which was lost at the eastern end of Carmen, in April last. We left Vera Crus en the 26th ult , bringing with us Capt. White and Mr. Harrison to this place. ‘There was no news at Vera Cruz but such as you have, no doubt, previously learned. Lieut. James Lawrence Parker is on board the flag- ship, and is, | am happy to say, rapidly recovering from the effects of his wound received at “Tuspan, and will again shortly be ready and eager for the fray. ‘We are accompanied by a prize schooner, captured by the gunboat Bonita, in char of Passed Midshipman Thompson, which comes here for adjudication, ‘The Porpoise is sent here for repaira, after « cruise of nearly two and a half years in the Guif, during which time she has not, until within the last month and a ‘alf, been permitted to lie in any port for a single week. ‘The only rest she has bad was at Laguna, Yucatan, to which place she was rent about the middle of April, and re- mained there until Com. Perry arrived and hoisted the American flag, on the 17th of May. During the past winter, while blockading Vera Cruz and Tampico, she has been in seventeen northers, some of them the “tallest kind; the last of which came very near sending her’ down among her fiuny prototypes. At the ti it commenced, we were blockading to the northward of the Castle of S n Juan de Ulia, while the attack was being mado on the city of Vera Cruz by our army, and were blown off on the eve- ning of the 25th of March. Next day about noon, the brig was struck by two heavy sous in quick suo- cession, the first Reyer her to stand still, and the second sweeping her decks and throwing her on her beam ends, at the samo time staving in her weather hammock netting and all the boats, &o.,, stowed azn: ships, foreing them into the waist, then under water. She remained in that situation about fifteen or twenty minutes, when, through great exertions on the part of her offi and men, the boats, sails, &c., with nearly all the lee battery, were thrown overboard, when she fully righted with two feet water on her decks; no one, however, felt secure until evening, when the wind grew lighter and the sea commenced going down. To mo, never having been placed in precisely the rame situation, it was surprising to see the coolness and energy (with a sudden and horrible death staring them in the face) ex- hibited by both officers and men, from the commanding officer to the smallest boy om board. Not a word was spoken of danger until it was past, when all acknowledg- ed it. The Porpoise has been one of the most effective and useful vessels in the squadron, and has sailed a greater number of miles than any other verse! attached to it.— She has, however, been much injured by such continu- ed hard work and hard weather, and now comes to this city to be repaired and coppered. It is understood that her officers, in consideratioa of their laborious and faith- ful service during the cruise, are to have leave of ab- sence to visit their homes, and that the crew will be dis- charged and pail off.
