We learn, by cur special despatch from Washing- too, that the removal of Governor Reeder has eaused considerable excitement in that city. It is reported that Mr. Dawson will not accept, and that Southern maa will ba appyated Governor of Kansas. It ie proposed in New England to enrol three thousand clergymen life membira of the Kannas Emigrant Aid Soviety, by paying $20 each. Tais will make a fund of $60,000, which it is proposed to expend in tettling Kanas with mon and wome. from New England. ° By the news from the Plaina it will be seen that fhe Sioux Indians were still warlike, and were awaiting the arrival of troops about forty miles above Fort Laramie. The Mormons had discovarej gold and large quantities of silver in the vicinity of Sweet Water river, aod were industrionsly en- goged in working the lovatioa. Gold has alao been discovered on Mediciae Bow river, to the southwest of Fort Laramie.

Wheat wasin good demand; Tennessee red sold at l75c.a i800, and Moryland prime white at 195c. Corn was easier and closed at 88c, a 89h, chiefly at the inside figure for Western mixed. Pork was inactive, with smali twaneactions of new mess, at a slight concession in fsvor of buyers. Coffee was active, with sales (al) Kimdt) of abous 3,600 bags at fall prices.

It has become an apothegm among our stump speakers that our farmers—our “honest yeomapry”’—are not only the most indepen- dent of all classes of our people, bus the hap- piest. They ought to be; but we never yet have known them to be better catistied than “other folks,” either with the seasons @ their erops. Whatever may be the abundance or the quality of the returns of their harvests, there is always @ plentiful supply of croakers among them, There is always a screw loose some- where—too little or too mach raia, or the wee- vil, or the rust, or some heavy drawback to the poor consumer, when least expected. We had supposed, hewever, that se bountiful were the products of the present year, grain, roots and fruits, beef and pork, eggs and chick- ens, bread ead butter, milk and honey, that the croakers would bedumb. But we were mis- taken. The Richmond (Va.) Examiner, in an article of several columns, devoted te ‘‘wheat,” attempts to show that the New Yorr HeraLp has made an over sanguine: eatimate of the crop of the United States for 1855—that we thall have very litile, indeed, to spare for ex- portation; but that, being in the interest of the buying classes, it is our policy to magnify the crop in order to bring down prices. We are further informed that “times are not as they azed to be in the trade circles, when prices | were regulated by the laws of supply and de- mand, and when honest merehants piously as- cribed fluctuations to Divine agency. Ia our day the Almighty has been relieved of the trouble of regulating the prices of provision statis. Prices of homely substances, like wheat, cate, barley and maize, are now regulated by the geuerous fraternity whose dainty fingers used only to touch faney stocks "and the like delectable subjects of speculation.” In other words, the farmers have become the victims of sharpers and gamblers, and we have been only playing adroitly into the hands of these chevaliers dindustrie. Our Virginia cotemporary, therefore, admonishes the sturdy yeomanry not to be frightened by the cry of the speculatora of a great excess of wheat, but to hold op, and beware alike “of the newspa- pers and the foreign news.” We have no objection to all this. We are notin the league of the buyiog classes; we bave nothing todo with hucicsters and specu- Jators, whose policy it certaiuly is to make all the money oat of the producers that they caa- If the farmers can meet their current obliga- tions without hurrying all their wheat to mar- ket, they had better do so. A glat in the market always reduces the price. We fear, however, from the shortness of the wheat and all other crops last year, that oar producers have fallen a little behindhand, and that too many, perhaps, will be compelled to sell at once to settle their outstanding liabilities. The effect of this may be an unhealthy reduction of the price of wheat in our seaport cities for a time, and perbaps a rise again when these first excessive supplies thall have been exhausied. We think that it would be to the advantage of | producers and consumers if this state of things could be avoided; and we weuld also advise our farmers to look into the matter and shape their course of action for themselves. Large asour crops of al) kinds of the present year may be, we are not in a position to waste them or squander them away. It is to these crops that we all look for relief from that fearful pressnre under which our financial, commer- cial, manufacturing and all other classes have been struggling since the collapse of the flimsy proeperity bubble of 1853. The issue with our Virginia croaker, how- ever, is that we sbail have little or no whea# tor exportati8a this year; and thus he makes out his case:— Everybody knows tbat almost the only fine wheats that coms into the markets of the world, not growa in the countries cousnming them, except from the Ameri. can ports, are derived from Dantzic—witnin a stone's throw of tke Russian border, and from Oceess and its neighboring ports on the Black Sea—within the actaal limsts of the Kustian Empire. The importation of wheat into Frglaud slone, from these two quarters, exclusive of thoiw from Archangel St. Petersburg and’ Riga, was 6,750,0(0, as early an 1847; andis, now, doubtless largely upwarde ef 10,000,000 bushels, The Italian States ani other grain importing countries bordering on the SMedi- terraneap, which get their eupplies ordinarily from Oaessa and the Black Sea, must now look elsewhere for supplies, and will God no other wheats suitable for ma- king their macearoni and vermicelli, now that they sze ¢ut off from the Odensa, but the fine wheats of Amsrica —probably only thore of our own Virginia, The tctal exports of whest from the Russian ports of the Black Sea, now closed by war, was 28,721,872 bushels in 1547, ‘These are the supplies shut off from Westera Europeygod locked up in Southern Rassia by the siege of Sebastopol; and next comes the loss from the blockade of the Baltic, which is put down as follows:— The export from Daxtzic (which derives from Poland and other Russian cominione. angel, in the same year, wan 5,050,000 busnels; to say nowing of the exports from Kiga and St. Petersburg, which could not bave teen less thun 4,000,010 more. Here, then, is a prand total exportacion of wheat for a year as early as 1847, from Roesian ports, of at Ie 88 CC0,0(0, entirely cut off by the war, aud this of qual ties of wheats woich are the very best known ia the markets, the like of which can ‘only be obtained ia quantity ‘rom this side of the water. We have not cfii- cial figures for later years, but have no doubt that be- fore the war the Kursian and Dantzic exportation of wheat reached 50,000,(00%f bush we apy indications an yet that the excess of the yield in Western Europe over und above that of ordinary yeurs ig at all commensurate with this immense curtailment in the quantities of supply, to say notbing of the im- self of the soft wheats of Western Con‘inental urope answering the wants of trace, whatever be the excess over ordinary production. According to these figures, we Rave here a deficiency to supply, resulting from the war with Russia, of fifty millions of bushels of wheat, tothe markets of Western and Southern Europe. And what are our capacities? We have estimated our wheat crop of the present year, throughout the Union, at something over one hundred and sixty eight millions of bush- els, Our Virginia cotemporary, with a dispo- sition to be extremely liberal, grants an aggre- gate of one hundred and sixty millions; and since our original estimate, causes have oc- curred in these latitudes which may possibly reduce it to this last named sum. The contin- ued heavy rains in thie quarter have doubtless extended over a vast surfice of country, to the destruction of much of the wheat, (in many fields.in the shock, or still unharvestedy from the sprouting of the grain. We have alremi@y received complainte of this kind from Jersey, Long Island, the Hudson river counties, and even as far back as the Genesee river. The extent of the damage from this cause we can- not conjecture; but we presume that it will not affect our first estimate beyond a reduction of eight millions of bushels, and it may be much lest, Assuming, then, that we shall have a gross amount of one hundred and sixty mil- lions of bushels to go upon, what is the pros- pect for exportation and high prices? Our Virginia croaker, allowing for home consumption, gives as an excess of only thirteen million bushels with which to supply the whole demand of the American continent and islands and for shipments to Europe. But we undertake to say that our home conghmption for bread Will be far less than his fignre of 135,000,000 hushels, Our entire wheat crop last year, saved ta eupplies Al by the farmers, did not probably exceed 100,- 000,000 bushels ; yet we exported of it about 5,000,000 bushels. Our Indian corn crop was 4 failure from the drought, and yet from New York alone our exports of last year’s corp, as late as last week, amounted to 80,000 bushels. It, then, with the general drought of last year, cutting off about one-half the corn and other autampal products, we eubsisted on a hundred millions of bushels of wheat, and had five mil- lions excess for exportation, what can we act do with 160,000,000, and the most prolific year in corn, potatoes, grass, fruits, and vegetables, ever knewn on this continent? According to the experience of the last year, weshall have from this year’s wheat crop some 50,000,000 bushels for exportation, instead of 13,000,000, as estimated by our Virginia cotem- porery ; while, on the other hand, probably less than 20,000,000 bushels will suffice to supply all deficiencies in Western and South- ern Europe. Our accounts from England, France and Germany indicate good crops this season. Cut off from Rugsia last year, and her 50,000,000 bushels of exports of wheat, and confronted on the West by short crops in the United States, there was an unsupplied de- ficiency in Western Europe, which naturally enough contributed its full share to raise our breadstaffs and provisions to famine prices. But the Central and Western States of Europe tbave since been preparing for the contingencies of this Russian war, and to make good from their own resources the loss of her usual sup- plies te their necessities. In this view, we dare say that our excess of wheat will be more than suficient, at reasonable prices, to supply the demands of Italy, Spain, France and Eng- land. Wor the uses of the allies in the Crimea, their captures and the fine wheat growing dis- tricts of Turkey in Asia Minor and Egypt, will, doubtess, be competent to supply the demand. The conclusions, then, at which we arrive are these—that the late reductions in our market prices of wheat are not so much the results of huckstering and kiteflying, and the specula- tors’ hue avd cry of extravagant crops, as the consequences of supply and demand—that last year’s prices are permanently done away with; and that our abundant and cheap provisions for the current year will be an advantage to all classes of the community, farmers included. The croakers may croak ; but with the country literally overflowing with the substantials of life, North, r, South and West, if is useless tokeep up the plea of necessity for famine prices. Sir Edmund ead and Canadtan Politics, It appears from our Canadian exchanges that the new Governor-General—Sir Edmund Head —is not popular among his colonial subjegts. One newspaper accuses him of ill temper; ano- ther lays ignorance and unwillingzess to leara to his charge; and a thiré contains a letter trom an ex-member of Parliament, Conrad Gugy, rating him in sharp terms tor a variety ot real or imaginary delinquencies. Altogether, it is pretty plain that Sir Edmund is not destined to enjoy a bed of roses in his new home, and tne chances are that we shall sooa hear of his being chased, and hurried, and bullied by the Cana- dian mobs just as Lord Elgin was, Yet it does not appear thut he has been guilty of any particular acts ot mischief. None of ihe journais at least specify avy such; their charges are general and vague; and their dis- like to him seems to rest oa no grounds which it was possible or convenient to reader pabiic. If Sir kdmund Head had done anything at which the people could reasonably take offence, we may take it for granted that we should have heard of it; the Canadian press enjoys a re- markable degree of liberiy, and jobs are as certain of exposure there as here. We must therefore conclude that the new Governor's unpopularity is based on mere popular preju- dice, and that he is abused for the sole reason that he is Governor and is an Englishman. Te inference is the more natural as the ca- reer of Lord Elgin in Canada establishes the very same fact. Lord Elgin was a man of re- markable abilities and rare habits of industry. he was sincerely anxious todo his duty, an was freer from bias or prejudice than almost any of the Governors England has sent to her colonies. As compared with his predecessors in Canada, he overtopped them by a head and shoulders. Yet probably none of the Governors of Capada—not even the imbecile Gosford, or the arbitrary Sydenham—have been so unpopu- Jar as Lord Elgin. ‘The scenes of 1849 at Mont- real are yet fresh in the public memory. The pretext for the popular outbreak on that occa- sion wes the siguing by the Governor of an act of the Provincial Parliament which he would have been unworthy of his office had he refused to sign; but the real cause of the trouble, and the true secret of the persistent dislike to his person which the richer classes in Canada ap- peared to cherish, was the anomally of there being a Britieh Governor in Canada at all. This was the true cause of Lord Elgin’s failure. He was out of place. Any other man would have been a8 much £0; anda man with less coursge and less tact than he might have as- certained the fact at greater cost than it in- volved in his cae. Had the Queen sent Sir Robert Peel or Lord Palmerston to Canada, the case would have been the same; either would bave failed, and the Canadians would have calied them all sorts of hard names, and treated them as if they had been villains and foole. For the Canadians have reached the point in their history where foreign control be- comes burthensome. They imbibe a de- mocratic spirit from their youth, They neces- sarily grow up republicans. All their institu- tions are republican, all their ideas predicated on the theory of popular equality. Nothing more natural than that they should feel an inward repugnance to submit to the control of the Englisbman—the foreigner— who fs sent among them every few years with power to veto their laws, control thelr government, and play the mischief generally with their public affairs, The Canadians eee plainly enough that they are as fit for self government as the English, and they ask themselves unconsciously why it should happen, such being the case, that they shonld be obliged not only to give thirty-one thousand cdd dollars per avnum to a gentleman Whose only claim to their charity is his title and his neediness, but to concede one-third of their authority over the Province to a man far less fit to exercise it than any one of themseives They have reached the peint which the colonial inhabitants of this country reached about twenty years before the revolution-—when their whole history was a series of conflicts be- tween the people and the royal governors, and the beet of men, coming here in the capacity of governor on the king’s behalf, were necessarily hated and oppozed by the people, There were governors both in Massachusetts and New York who would have graced any other station in life, but who, in their governments, spent a career of unmitigated misery and strife, and have left behind them a disgraceful reputation: not from apy faults of theirs, but from the falsity and absurdity of their position, Just so it is in Canada. Lord Elgin, had he been elected governor by the people of Canada, would have been eminently popular, and would have been displaced in obedience to the principle of rotation only; sent to Canada by the British government, he was despised and detested. We have no means ot judging what Sir Edmund Head’s qualities or abilities may be. But from the unpopularity he seems to have gained before he has performed a single act of magistracy, it seems likely that however he developes he will be sacrificed as a victim to British connection. It would be far more sensible for the Cana- dians to vote an address quictiy to the Queen, begging her to send them no more governors, than to go on, as heretofore, making bad blood, and quarrelling with men who really deserve their respect and esteem. The British govern- ment would certainly not insist on sending go- vernors to Canada against the people’s will; and it is quite plain that far better men for the position could be found in the province than out of it. That the Canadians will come to that ultimately, is obvious. It is only a ques- tion whether the anomalous plan of British go- yernors should be continued, at the cost of the public peace of mind and honest men’s charac- ters, until it can no longer be borne; or whether the fature should be anticipated, and the mis- chief in store evaded, by adopting at once a re- form that in the ordinary course of events will only b2 accomplished in the lapse of years, and after more inconvenience and trouble. Gevernor Reeper—We are at last in- formed irom Washington that Mr. Reeder has been removed from his office of Governor of Kansas, and that Mr. Dawson, of Pennsylva- nia, who voted for the Nebraska bill, has been appointed in his place. We have yet to learn whether this removal of Mr. Reeder is ibe result of a conviction upon the charge of Commissioner Manypenny of aunofficer- like speculations in the lands of the poor Kansas half-breed Indians, or whe- ther he is discharged in deference to the petition ‘of the Kansas Legislature; or for a little capital for Buncombe in the elections of this week and the next in Tennessee, North Carolina, and Kentucky. We guess, however, that these elections have had a good deal to do with it; and that Reeder’s removal will be trumpeted all over the South as another valiant proof of the fidelity of the administration to Southern rights. But why was this free soil land speculator appointed in the first place? and why has his removal been delayed uutil he has done all the mischief necessary to bring about a condition of things in Kansas little bet- ter than a state of civil war? Very likely the ex-Governor, having closed up his real estate operations, will be coatent to return to Pean- sylvania. Let his successor keep clear of the half-breeds, avoid Stringfellow, cut the aboli- tionists, and stick to his official duties, aud he may get ulong smoothly enough among the “border ruffians.”’ We hope the ex-Governor, on his return, will favor us with another speech, and tell us how the question was set- tled in the Cabinet. Eyporsinc THE Sort SHELis.—Speaking of the Democratic Soft Shell State Convention which is to meet in Syracuse on the 29th of August, the Putnam County Courier (hard shell,) says:— It will be perceived that this gathering of office hold- era and their dependents is cailea one week earlier than the democratic convention, which fact is regarded by some of their credulous o as ‘not unfavorable to democratic union.” Perhi but it may be well enough to wait and see whe nationals will adopt we policy here hinted at. supposition that the time designated is tavorable to unton is predicated upon the preaumption that the hards will siapiy meet and go through the formality of eadorsing the Cochrane and Ryncers ticket. ‘hie they will doubtiess do, as the people of the Empire State entertain most profound ra- spectsfor the above gentlemen, and will pe entirely astistied with their selections, notwithstanding some of them may hail from localities in New Yors city of ques- tionable morality. asides, a different course might offend Mersrs, Marcy and Pierce, which, of couree, would sorely grieve the nationals. We go in for ** ea- dorsing,’” by all meas So we may anticipate a fusion of the hards and softs at Syracuse, on the soft shell ticket, provided they can agree. We are sorry that the prospect of an sgreement is not more lumi- nous than it appears to be in Putnam county. A journey by Mr. Cochrane, or the Captain, up that way, on official business, would, perhaps, set the matter right. The time has come tor action. Cricket. PATERSON V8, NEWARK CLUS3.

Governor Reeder and His Alleged Land Speculations. Sr, Lovrs, July 90, 1855. Governor Reeder furnishes a copy of his answer to Secretary Marcy’s last letter to him, to the Lawrence Tritunc. He says, inzelation to the charge of having purchased half-breed Kansas lands, that he purchased no such lands, and he thinks he bas been treated un- fairly because the President haa called on him for a de- ence sgainst the charge of violating rules which arenot specified, and he asks for a specification. Congressional Nominations in Minnesota, Curcaco, Jaly 30, 1855, St, Paul (Minnesota) papers of the 26th inst, state that after the nomination of H. M. Rice for delegate to Congress, a number of the members of the democratic convention met im Governor Gorman’s library, and neminated the Hon. David Olmstesd. Ex-Governor Ramsay received 36 votes in the republican convention, although he had previously declined the nomination. Interesting from the Plains, Sr, Louis, July 30, 1855. ‘We are in receipt of late advices from the Pla'ns, Mr. Holmena, District Attorney of the United States for Utab, was ‘outh Platte, en route for Washington, with despatches from Col. Steptoe to the War Depart ment. He met no Indians or whites until he reached Sweet Water, where he found a large party of Mormons exploring for gold. They were daming and turning the bed of the river. A letter from a gold seeker says that they had found large quantities of silver. One man in the vicinity of Sweet Water took $40 of.gold in a day. Gold had also beem discovered on Medicine Bow stream, southwest of Fort Laramie, Two hundred Arpio Indians were encamped a short distance from this river, and were peaceable, They ifs war takes place between tbe Sioux and the troops, they will join the strongest party. A war party of Sioux at Seaboute Creek, fifty miles above Fort Laramie, were awaiting the arrival of ‘troops, and threatened if they did not arrive in ten Gays they would kill every white man between Laramie vil’s Gate. Several trains of Mormons from Texas had been fallen in with between Fort Kearney and the Blues. They had lost twenty by cholera, and the balance were in good health.

A vote of 4 east ore tie how city press, ‘The mee: yarns a our Aver tramsact- ing a large aunguat of business, St. Lawrence. A few weeks ago we gave our readers an account of the great submarine telegraph, by which it is proposed to connect the Old and New Worlds. This enterprise is going on most succesafully, and will be ma plished within much less then threa years—the time specified, ‘The parties by whom it was undertaken have been or- ganized under the title of ‘the New York, New‘ound- land and London Telegraph Company.” The'r names are, Peter Cooper, Moses faylor, Cyrus W. Field, Mar- shall 0, Roberts, Chandier White and Sam}. F. B. Morse, As we atated before, the points of coanection are St. Johns, in Newfoantland, snd Cork, on the southera coast of Ireland, and the distance, 1,680 milas. From St, Johns a line is in course of constructiom a:ross the southern part of Newfoundland to Port au Basque, and will be compl+ted in eight or ten weeks, Tae distance between Port au Basque and Cape North across @ portion of the Gulf of St. Lawrence is seventy-four miles, and the connection of these points will be effected by « sabmarine cable of three wires, and about an inch ands naif thick, Thiscable was shipped from London on the 28th of last month, in the ship Sarah L, Bryant, which is now lying at Port au Basque. Mr, Canaivg, the engineer who su- perintended the laying of the Mediterranean cabie, sail-- ed for America on the 7th inst., in the steamer Canada, and is at present in Newfoandland, waiting t» oversee: the execution of the new enterprise, As this is the first eubmarine cable of any im- portance which has been laid on this side of the Atantic, the Isying of it may be regarded as a new era in the history of telegraphiag in this country. ‘The weight of the cable is four hundred toas, and the time required for putting it down will not ex- ceed two days at the utmost, unless the weather should prove very unfavorable As the occasion will be one of more than usual interest, quite a considerable number of ladies and gentlemen, we understand, have taker passage on board the steamer Calhoun, which hag been engaged by the company to tow the Sarah L. Bryant across the Gulf of Sk. Liwrence, and which wil? sail from the foot of Twelfth street, East river, on Thursday, the second of August. Among these are Mr. and Mrs, Peter Cooper, Professor 8. F. B, Morse and lady, Cyrus W. Field, Professor Silliman, Jr., Lieutenant M. F. Maury, Professor Shepherd, Rev. Dr. Adams, Dr. Sayre and lady, Mr. snd Mra, R. W. Lowber, Dr. Hamel, of St. Petersburg, James 8, Sluyter, and about thirty others. Everything haa been provided that is necessary to render this one of the most delightful excursions, although the voy- age was undertaken at first solely for business pur- poses, It isthe intention of the company to stop at ral poiats on the southorm and weatern coasts of jewfoundland, which may be regarded almost as a (erra incognito, The southern shore is protected by a bold chain of rocks, which rise to the height of two or taree hundred feet, while the western is covered with s dense forest, that extends far back into the interior, The island is rich in mineral wealth, as proved by the explorations of the geologists and mine- ralogists who were employed by the company to select the fifty miles of land that had beer granted them by the colonial government as au encouragement to them to carry out the enterpriee. ‘The establishment of this telegraph is of tue greatest importance to the people of Newfoundland, as it must inevitably lead to the developement of the resources of that country, and open up new avenues of trade and commerce. The chief occupation of the population at present is fishing, which furnishes a very precarioug subsistence at best, and which, #0 long as it ia pursued exclusively, must keep them in a state of comparative poverty. The colonial government, therefore, acted with wise forethought and judgment when they granted the exclusive privilege for fifty years to the company, of running a telegraph across the island, and through any portion of its adjacent waters. Their liberality, how- ever, did not atop here, for, realizing the great advantage such a work must prove to the country, they appropriat- ed twenty-five thousand dollars for the construction of a bridle path over the island, secured ths company the interest on fifty thoneand poands sterling for twenty years, and made them a present of fitty aquaze miles of land, which they were at liberty to select in any part of the country, and a further grant of fifty addi- tional square miles, when the line is extended asross the Atlantic ocean. The steamer Calhoun, which is to sail on Thursday will take the vessel having the submarine cable on board in tow at Port au’Baeque and proceed across the gulf o Cape North, the nearest point on the coast of Cape eton. While she is steaming at the rate of between two and three miles an hour, the cable will be paid out from the stern of the Sarah L. Bryant. Aboat thirty mem will be employed in this process, which is very simple, the cable being run out over a wheel from the coil as it lies im the hold of the vesnel, In addition to those who are going out merely for the pleasure of the trip, we may mention the fact that Mr. Huested is also going to sa- perintend the blasting of the rocks at 1] the harbor of St. Johns, which are a vensel#, and at drawing great depth of water. We hope the voyage my be every way successful, both in a busi- ese point of view aud as @ pleasure excursion. Cnroners’ Inquests.
