SEwArn, August 4. Harvesting nearly over and most of the grain is in the shock. Some of the farmers have commenced stacking. The wheat is the best in this section since 1877, Oats are is very heavy and was harvested in good condition; the yield will be something ike 50 bushels per acre. The weather has not been very favorable for corn for the past week. The nights have been cool, and if it does not warm up, the crop will not be over half acrop. Some fields have commenced to tassel and silk ont, but rather short. All we want is warm weather and plenty of it. ALpioy, Boone Co., August 4.—-Har- t is about half over in our country, and it is admitted by all hands that this is the boss crop of small grain, especially wheat and oats, Corni is not quite so forward as it was Inst year at this time, but it is looking very fine and should 0ld Sol not et the jim-jams too often from now to the middle of September, it will make a big crop yet. I0WA. Perowvar, In., August 4.—The late planted corn is most of it tasseling now, and is very short, not more than two- thirds as high as it is commonly. Take aline through the northwest corner of the township to the southeast corner and all the country north and west of that to the width of from five to ten miles is lit- erally destroyed. That is, the crops, of | course. The rest of tho township, from present appearance will raise half a crop on what is planted. 1 think fully one-half of the cultivated land lies idle; some was not planted, and almost every farmer is plowing up or un- der the small corn that was i.jured by water so that there is no hope of its mak- ing anything. The best corn we have will make over fifty bushels to the acre, and the large majority of it will go all the way from five to thirty bushcis if the weather is favorable from this on until gathering time. Harrison, Augnst 4,—Crops are im- proving very fast in this (Pottawattomie has been for years, and is mostly cut— the late rains having helped the corn very much.

This is promised soon, and, if 80, better prices may be looked for.

Continued free arrivals and a falling off, to some extent, of the shipping demand are exerting a depressing intluence. The bears have hammered away incessantly during the week., Dows & Co. have been sellers, while Bangs, Graham and Kautner have led a crowd of scalping brokers, Shorts, lowever, have quite generally covered and the disposition is to move cautiously. While the expectation is general that the corn crop will be an unusually large one if an carly frost does not intervene, yot observing men in the trade who hive traveled through more or less of the corn belt state that there will be much disappointment in the yield, notwithstanding the in that whole district will not average stalks to the hill, the effect of the seed corn planted Leing very appar Were it not for this, they say, a favorable fall would insure u phenomenal haryest Oats have weakened under the same influonces as corn, The bull manipula tion, which sustained the July option until the last week of last month, is miss: ing now.

You can say, too, that L am glad he will be heavier than me, for people said 1 could only ick little men, I'll show them this time what 1 can do with a big one.” His attendants were eaually confident, Joo Goss being of the opinion that one round would settle the Maori. = A NOVEL WAGER, MinnAroLts, Aug. 4.—The wager of two hundred dollars Letween Hanlan, the oarsiman, and a man named O'Brien, that the latter could not take Plaisted’s shell, deprived of outriggers, and sit or stand in 1t and paddle around one minute without upsctting, was won by O'Brien, wha succeeded in managing it both sit- ting and standing,.

OfMcial Report of the Raid on fhe Apache Portress, Successfal Mothods of Civilization— The General Confident That the Remaining Bands ‘Will Come in. | | - Wasnixerox, August 4,—General Crook's report of his campaign against the Apaches in Mexico has been received atthe war department. After reciting the facts which led to the pursuing of the Indians and describing his march into Mexico, and support so willingly offered by Moxican officials, Crook says: *On the 16th of May the scouts discovered the camps of Chiefs Chalo and Bonito. We would have surrounded the camps but for the fact that some of the scouts ineau- tiously fired upon a buck. The surprise was complote, and in the subseqnent fight, which lasted several hours, the In- dians were thoroughly beaten, the caps and their contents captured, and five lalf-grown girls and_young boys taken prisoners. Nino dead Indians were found. afterwards which had been killed in the fight. The extremely rugged nature of the country, the camp being situated half way up a precipitous mountain gashed with ravines, prevented any oxact count being made without extreme danger from Indians who might be wounded or hidden in the rocks, who could have killed us at their will without exposing them- selves. There was considerable property, stolen from Americans and Me N found in the camp, and about forty horses and mules.” Crook then enters into a detailed account of the defeated Chirica- huas entering his camp and surrendering themselves, and describes his return march with the surrendered hostiles, Three hundred and eighty-four Chiri- cahaus came to camp and surrendered, bringing with them six Mexican captives. The Indians stated that' many more hos- tiles would surrender if Crook would wait. in tho mountains a few days until they could be gathered together. Crook re- fused to wait, as his rations were running very low. Hieronymo, one of the sur- rendered chiefs, stated that with Chalo’s band was a small white boy correspond- ing closely with the description of Char- loy McComas. After the attack on the Indians thoy scattered to the mountains and the white boy went with the band of old squaws, Orook concluded his roport in the fol- lowing language: *“To attempt to_ punish one or a dozen of the tribe for deeds of which all were equally guilty would be a gross act of tyranny, While to attempt to punish all after they had swrendered in good faith, would e not only pertidi- ous, but would involve us in a war with a small but desperate handfulof men who would then fight with the recklessness of wmcers under the black flag. The chicf is no more guilty than every mem- ber of his Bband, being merely their mouthpicce. - To punish individuals, no particular crime would be done, were it possible to get evidence, but from the nature of things this is impossible, The The Chiricahuas will present no difficulty whatever in_the work of subjectihg to peaceful and good discipline. They were not deprived of their arms for the best reasons, Itis not advisable to let an'In- dian think you are afraid of him evén when fully armed. Show him that at his best he s powerless in your hands and he will become your best friend and cheerfully obey all he is instructed to do. It is unfair too, to deprive him of the means of pro- tecting his home and property against white scoundrels who, armed to the teeth, infest the border and would con- sider nothing sacred as property if it be- longed to unarmed Indians just beginning to plant or raise stock. So long as white horse and cattle thieves roam the coun- try, so long should the Indians at San Oarlos be allowed to carry arms for their own protection. Further it is not e ticable to disarm the Indians. Their arms in almost overy instance on record have been a farcial failure. T may add that the fact that the Indians left behind have not come in is a matter of no sig- niticance, Indians have no idea of the value of time. Members of Soco’s band who came into San Carlos in May last were sixty-six days in making tho jour- noy, though they had fifty miles less dis- tance to travel than those whom we left in the Sierra Madres, [Signed] Gro.

Mesars, C. A. Boutelle, William F. Cook and Chas, H. Grosvenor were appointed such commit- tee. Their address will be published to- day. th address is three columns long, It recites the organization of the National Union League, its objects and purposes. The address earnestly appeals to re- publicans that any differences which have heretofore existed in the republican pur:‘yl should be speedily terminated so that embittered feeling may geaso and the success of the party secured in the future as in the past. [t also recommends that the appropriste representative commit- tees of the party meet at such time and place as they may select and consider what plans or methods can be adopted to produce permanent peace and prosperit; in the republican party. The address is | | | strongly partisan in”its language. It denounces the democratic pavty a8 an - ener of free elections and a promoter of dishonest election retuyns. It says the history of the republican party is all brilliantly studded with gems of righteous government; it has not hesi- tated to remedy its own mistakes, and has never dodged behind devicesfor tem- porury effect, - — Cotton in Texas, GALVESTON, August b.—A special from eighty points in the Texas cotton belt report cotton suffering from continued drouth.
