Favorable accounts continue to reach us inre. gare to the growing and ripening crops. In Geor- gis, Alabama, the Carolinas, Florida, Tennessee, Indiana, and even in some sections of Virginia, the harvesting has already commenced, aud from all thoee States, with the exception of Virginia, we isave reporte that the yield is unprecedented. In Virgivia, the wheat crop was somow2at injared by the fly and the army worm, but as the namber of acres put under cultivation in that State thia year, far exceeds auy previous szason, there is no doubt Dut the yield will surpass the average. In Ohio, New York and al! the Northern and Eastern States, the coldness of the season has raved the wheat from the raveges of the fly, and now, as it is abouten tering into the ripesing stage, it has nothing bat rust to fear. The ides of Jnly will acttle all ques tions in regard to the wheat crop of the country, and if this sonson does not outstrip any pravioas year in the number of bushele produced, there is no futh in favorabie reports of crops, We hear no complaint in regard to rye, oats or pota‘oes, fom apy section; but corn is reprecented as being rather Dewkward, in consequence of the cold weather. Corn dove best unders hot eun, but there is yet plenty of time for it to mature and produce as aban- dant!y as the farmer conld desire. The cotton market was quiet yoeterday, as deslers were waiting the receipt of private letters due by the Asia.

Wheat was comparatively quiet, Indian corn closed firm, with tne gale of a cargo of prime mixed at $1 04. Tho chief sales were made at $1 01}@%1 03.

But the administration at Washington, true to their instinctive meanness, in- sulted their.attorney by engaging other counsel to conduct the case. Mr. ‘Moise immediately resigned his «ffice; and the State Convention, in making their nomination, have at the same time indicated the ability ef their candidate and administered 9 just rebuke to the bungling administration with which the.country is saddied.

The evidence will be fuund elsewhere sue cremaency—The Three Leading Gana: dates Already in the Fieid. ‘The work for the next Presidentie! election hae seriously commenced. The political events of the last six weeks have sharply defined the three great parties of the campaign, aad the champion of each for the succession. These three parties are—the American party, the Seward anti-slavery coalition party, and the demoeratic party ; and the candidate of each, #8 broadly foreshadowed by these late events, i Of the American party—George Law, of New York. Of the Seward coalition party—W. H. Sew- ard, of New York. Of the democratic party—Henry A. Wise, of Virginia. Beginning with Mr. Wise, we find him brought forward as the forlorn hope of the democracy in the late Virginia election. It was the last chance. Everywhere else the party, with their old fogy or administration leaders, had beea borne down and utterly routed and dispersed In New York, they had split aud foundered up- on Marcy; in Pennsylvania, they had been pros- trated in spite of the ancient prestige of Ba chanan; in Michigan, Gen. Cass had been a stumbling block; in Illinois, Douglas had brought about a democratic defeat; in Indiana, Bright and Pettit had been repudiated ; in Miseouri, Atchison bad failed; in Califor nia, Gwin hed fallen through; in Mas sachusetts, Cushing had been ecornfully overlooked; in New Hampshire, Mr. Pierce himself had been publicly condemned and re moreelersly trodden under foot; aud even in Old Virginia the integrity of the democracy had been shaken upon the White House preten- sions of Mr. Senator Hunter. At such @ crisis, and in the face of such dis- asters and drawbacks, Mr. Wise was nominated as the Virginia democratic candidate for Gov- ernor, and the life or death of the party was thus placed in his hands. He accepted the trust—he fought the battle as never a political battle was fought before. Had the fase of this Union de- pended upon the result—had the question been its preservation or immediate dissolution—he could not have exercised more energy, activity, zeal, courage, talent aud perseverance than be did exercise. He carried the day; it was his victory, against oll disasters, all drawbacks, all defections. He ignored the administration, and made the issue between the principles of the democracy and the practices of the Know Nothings, and gained the day. The democracy of New York, appreciating this victory upon its real merits, as a victory with which the administration and the old de- mocratio fogies had’ nothing to do, but as a triumph achieved by Mr. Wise in spite of all such obstructions, promptly met in Tammany Hall, and expressed themselves accordingly. The very fact that none of our old fogy democratic leaders were present, such as George Bancroft, Lorenzo B. Shepard, Au- gustus Schell, John McKeon, Charles O’Conor, Francis B. Cutting, James T. Brady, and such, was tantamount to a confession that the victory of Mr, Wise was an affair in which they had no interest. But the young, progressive and living democracy, headed by Captain Rynders and other bold and fear- less spirits, felt that they had an inte- rest in the result; and it afforded the mediam for the practical reconstraction of the demo- cratic party here and throughout the country. Thos our hard shells and soft ehells, for the first time eince 1852, were brought enthusiastically Since the first movement of the Pennsylvania ‘Legislature down to the adjouramest of the ate’ National Council at Philadelphia, he has been gathering strength on every side. Two- thirds of the delegates of this late Council were ‘in his favor, representing all sections of the ‘Union. Since the adjournment of this Council, the ' numbers of intelligent men of this new Ameri- can party, from the North, Sowth, East and West, that have thronged the parlors of “ Live ' Oak George” from day to day, rain or shine, at his comfortable residence in the Fifth avenue, have been perfectly surprising. And they all ‘say that he is the man—that his general intelli- gence and administrative talents cannot be ques- tioned—that he has more of the solid good sense, pluck, independence, and nerve of Old Hickory than almost any‘other man thoy have ever seen—that he js “ge very man fora new ai- ministration, and a bd, straightforward, honest and feorless Americal policy; and that he must and shall be the nation®\ American nominee in 1856. They say that it ‘Ya.due to the conser- vatives of New York—due to™our substantial American interests--due to the @echanics and working men of the Union, and U°4 to the peace of the country, that “Live Oak George” should have the American nomination. These vieiters ot Mr. Law’s residencejaleo say that itis a great mistake to suppos¢ that because he has become rich from his ‘#lents and industry, his mind is of the conéracted, money: grasping calibre of that of the late John Jacob Astor or the late Stephen Girard. He is, they declare, altogether a different.sort of a man—a man of liberal sentiments, enlarged ideas, and conversant, to a most extraordinary extent, with the politicians and politics of the last twenty years; that his perceptions of the merits and peculiar qualities of other men are wonderfully quick and accurate; and that just such @ man is wanted to fill correotly the thirty thousand offices of the federal govern- ment. Concluding, then, that “Live Oak George” is the inevitable nominee of the Ame- rican party, we pass next to’ the great North- ern Holy Anti-Slavery Alliance. Here, from the pressure of these recent vents, W. H. Seward, as the champion of bis -party, comes into the same bold relief as Henry A. Wiee and “‘T.ive Oak George.” His party ie @ mixed commission of all the odds and ends of | the anti-slavery agitation, and all the isms and beresies of the North. Last fall, upon the basis of the Nebraeka bill, a deliberate attempt was made to fuse the people of all parties opposed to that measure in a great Seward or- ganization, to be called the republican party. But, from the powerful diversion of the new American party in a more con- cervative direction, this seditious Seward move- ment of last September was a failure. Since his re-election to the Senate, however, and since tbe Virginia election and the late Philadelphia Council, a new impulse has been given to the Seward programme. That curious Know Some- thing anti+lavery gathering at Cleveland, upon the heels of the Philadelphia Council, particu- lor)y warns us that Seward is the anti-slavery favorite. They did not nominate him at Cieve- land—the time had not yet come for that ; but they clearly indicated their first choice tu be oor cunning and active arch-agitator. And why not? He is aman of some learning, of great experience as a political schemer, and with the prestige of a certain sort of populari- ty among his followers, which scarcely any other wan ot the gang could command. Sew- ord, then, will be their man, and Wilson of Massachusetts, or Chase of Ohio, or Hale of New Hampshire, will probably be bis second on the ticket Such are the cisclosures of the events of the Jast six weeks. We are to have three great parties in the field in 1856, and a iriangu'ar fight of the most violent chs. racter, on all sides, between these three candidates. These candidates, we wunder- take to sey, are also clearly indicated; end all their covventions or councils from this time henceforward toa positive nomiua- tion for 1856, respectively, by these three par- ties, will result in placing definitely before the people these three aforesaid men for the honors and the spoils of the succession, Let our read- ers, then, of all sections, and of a'l parties, pre pare to meke up their minds fora choice in 1856 between Henry A. Wise as the democratic candidate, George Law as the American candi- date, and W. H. Seward as the candidate of the anti-slavery holy alliance. In drawing our horoscope of recent events, such are the signs of the times. From the facts before us, and the movements sround us, nothing in the future seems to us to stand out in bolder relief. Whois for Wise? who for Seward? and who for “Live Oak George?” Tue Depression in Newsparer Prorerry. —We understand that the depression in the circulation of our city newspapers, to which we alluded a short time since, still continues, and that without any prospect of relief. Last month one of our Wall street cotemporaries, the Courier and Enquirer, reduced its size four inches, which is equivalent to a dollar in the ream, or a saving in its circulation of ten do}lars a day, sixty dollars a week, or three thousand dollars a year. It will be recollected thet most of our cotemporaries, such as the Times, the Tribune, and the Journal of Com- merce, bad previously curtailed their size from one to two, three, and four inches. During all this process of curtailment, we ‘are happy to say that the prosperity, as well as the size of the Heraxp, has continued undiminished. Da- ring the last twelve monthe, our business, both as regards circulation and advertieements, has been greater than it ever was at any previous pericd. This fact shows conclusively that the management of the Heratp has secured, acd will continue to secure, the approval and p1- proceeding. The people of this State have se- veral officers of various authori*y aud designs ion whose sole or special business it is to see that the lawe are executed, Have these officers abdicated? Have they declined to pertorm their functions? Have they asked for the posse comitatus? Nothing of the kind On the contrary, from the Mayor down to the lest policeman, everybody pretends to be derirous of doing his duty. The Mayor says he will ex- ecute the law so far as his legal advisers coun- sel him. Not an officer of the e@xeoutive bas expreesed either unwillingness or ina bility to carry out the law, Whence, then, the interference of these people in a matier sp> cially delegated by the citizens of this State to officers who are paid foy doing it? Whatif they takeit into their Heads to'see to the ex- cution of other laws, to institute prosecutions right and left against this or that man, whom they choose to consider an offender against the Jaws? We should be ina pretty state of con- fusion before they had goue far; and as to the Dictrict Attorney and Attorney General, their vocation would be gone. But if they were halfa million instead of half a dozen migchievous busybodies, the law would none the less be nullified. It is perfectly amaz- ing to think that in the middle of the nineteenth century, people so intelligent as the Legisla- ture of New York should need to be told thata large city like New York cannot be governed by the same rule asa country village. They seem never to have perceived that in the vil- lage there is but one grogshop or perhaps two, and half dozen topers at most, whom every one knows, and whom it is easy to watch : whereas in a city like New York, it would be eusier for the moderate drinkers to keep watch over the teetotallers than the latter over them. An army of detectives would not bring to light all the quiet tipplingin this city. All the spies the Carson League could hire—evenif twice the forty thousand dollars it asks for were paid into its chest—would not anewer the pur- pose. And at this moment, when the Liquor Jaw is to go into effect in a fortnight, there is not a householder who entertains the smallest fear of being able to recruit his cellar as formerly. Excessive drinking is bad, unquestionably; and we must prevent it if we can: but we cao no more attain that emd by a probibitory law than we could cheek the growth of infidelity by reviving the Inquisition, or destroy the passions of human nature by laying a fine om anger or deceit. Lies are a.greatsource of crime. Save crimes of violence, almost all crimes resolve themselves at bottom into a lie; and it would be an unparalleled blessing if we could get rid of dying. Yet should we gain anything by makiog a law against lying? We have tried the experiment in one or two similar cases, and know what fruit it bas borne. We have made laws against disorderly houses, and year by year they increase on our hands. We have made laws against lottery offices aad gambliag houees, yet no one isever ata loss to find a ticket for a lottery, or a table of faro or brag. We have laid the heaviest penalties on sedac- tion and adultery—are we any the more virtu- ous in consequence? Let him who doubts read history. There can be little question bat the most strait-laced commuvities have beea those where sin has flourished the most vigorously; and beyond a doubt it is, accord- ing to the unmistakable verdict of experi- ence, that though the severities of the law may in some ‘ew couatries operate to restrain certain crimes, there never was a law yet in any country opposed to the gen us and wishes of the people which attained its object. Gre- gorovius in his book on Corsica, laments eloqnently that notwithstanding the severity of the French laws, it has been found impossi- ble to check the vendetta; because it was of the nature of Corsicans to kili each other, Just in the same way, the Liquor law aad others which are intended to put down prac- tices which are in our-natare, will fail, and the quieter the failure is the better it will be for the country. Tue Sty Know Noraine Eprror at Wase- Inqton.—The Know Nothing newspaper at Wash ington, conducted by Vespasian Ellis, has for some time past exhibited inereasing symptoms ot progressive folly and imbecility, until at length his unhappy state of mind callefor the speedy action of the proprietors of the journal in ques- tion, in order to save it from bankruptey and the porty from public ridicule, It was a very unfortunate. thing that this man Ellis had the management of this Wash- ington orgen during the late Virginia canvass. His lack of ordinary sagacity, and his abounding credaility, contributed largely not only to the defeat of the Know Nothings, but to the most extravagant betting on their part, and the loss of immense sums of money from foolish confidence in the boastings and estimates of this unfortunate prophet. He de- ceived himself, he betrayed his friends; and the only excuse for him is that he and they lost their reason and their money together. We cannot mend the matter, but we do say that the frame of mind into which this disastrous Virginia election and the late Philadelphia Council have thrown this unlucky man Bilis, call for his speedy removal from the editorial cbair of the American Organ, and the sub- stitution in his place of come rational man who has lost neither his. money nor his wits ina reckless political gambling speculation. Since his return to Washington from the late Philadelphia Council, this unhappy man Bilis has betrayed a state of mental aberration strongly suggesting to his friends the expediency of his timely removal tosome safe place. His head is all wrong, his nerves are unhinged, and there is donger that if not soon restrained from the excitements of composition, he may hurt him- relf, or jump off the bridge. Semotving terri. jacket. i There is, however, sopac method in this mad- ness, Like Hamlct, Master Ellis “can tell a bewk from » audeaw when the wind is Nor’- Nor’-Eset.” Like some other political backs . and party organ grinders, this amiable and pleasant fellow at Washington has a crow to pick with “Live Oak George.” It appears that the indignation of the Washington Sentinel, the Albany At/as, and the New York Evening Post, at the bare idea of naming George Law for the Presidency, may be traced to certain loans of hard’ cash asked of Mr. Law in behalf of these journals and their respective Presidential schemes, and which loans, for reasons best known to himself, Mr. Law declined to make. We understand that the bland, high-toned, patriotic, and disinterested Vespasian Ellis belongs to this list. Some years ago, on his return from South America, he came upon “Live Oak George” with a splecdid scheme for a mighty speculation— being nothing more nor less than the establish- ment of a line of steamers to run upon the great river Oronoco. Ellis applied to Law for a good stiff subscription to the stock in this en- terprise. With Law’s name, and cash to back it, there was ‘(no such word as-fail.”’ But being a practical man, “Live Oak George” had no money for the Oronoco. He could make better investments nearer home. To be sure, there was a great demand for sarsaparilla in the United States, and large supplies on the Oronoco; but “Live Oak George” thought it would hardly justify a line of steam- ers, and so the project of Ellis fell through. How, then, could Ellis be expected to second the nomination of “ Live Oak George” for the Presidency, after refusing this proffered part- nership in the sarssparilla business of the Oronoco? The fact is that all these “ venal politicians” of the Albany 4t/as, New York Evening Post, and the Washington Sentinel,'and the Kaow Nothing organ there, are opposed to George Law from the same great fundamental princi- ple—“he had money and they had none.” But he had none to lend them. In contrast with these men, the case of Thurlow Weed ex- hibits him as a man of extraordinary magnani- mity and honor. For the sake of the American cause, it is to be hoped that the Know Nothing proprietors of their organ at Washington will transfer Vespa- sian Ellis to Kansas, or some other frontier place, where his belligerent propensities may have fell vent among the half-breeds and “porder ruffians;” and that some new and rational editor may be provided in his place. Otherwise, from the juggling game of Ellis with Wilson and Seward, the Kuow Nothing party will be inevitably swamped in the South, Woxrn Doctors.—We have received the sixth avnusl announcement of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania for the ses- sion of 1855-’6. Most of our readers may be aware that this is an institution for the instrac- tion of young ladies in the higher branches of medicine and surgery; that it confers degrees, and sends forth its lady stadents into the world with the title of M, D., and the right, as Moliere says, of Conpandi, tallandi, purgandi Ex oocidendi per totam terrae, We notice that at the last session, thirty-five ladies registered their names as students, and that greater facilities still are about to be extended to those who will study this comiag year. There can be no question bai women were intended by their Creator to be nurses. They are better adapted for it than men. They suf- fer lees when they watch; are more patient and gentler; underitand a thousand things which the rougher sex do not. It is also clear that women are naturally adapted for the office of midwives; and nothing appears to be wanting that they should exclade the accoucheur alto- gether but a sofficient knowledge of the busi- ness. It is likewise obvious that all women require to be acquainted with the diseases of children. In go far, therefore, as this Pennsyl- vania college or any other institution of the like nature proposes to teach women to be nurees, mothers and midwives, it deserves to be commended, But the idea of teaching women the general practice of surgery and medicine, of placing them ina position where they must acquaint themeelves with all the diseases of loathsome humanity, and may be called upon to tend them, ie equally destructive of their modesty, and in- jurious to the science of medicine, Newsrarer Convenrtons.—We notice that the editors end proprietors of newspapers in several adjacent States are holding conven- tions.
