Tim montlily report of the Deportment of Ag riculture at Washington City, dated the 80th of .Inly laat, ami for Hint month, which is now before us, through tiro kind attention ofllio Act ing Commissioner or that Department, eipbraces mueli valuable, statistical ami other information, as the following extracts from the report will allow: CONDITION ON NAUM CHOPS IN ,IUt.Y. Never has the department been able to report so favorable a prospect lor uuitorrolv good crops hincu the establishment of the statistical division. While exaggerated statements have been made in influential papers, especially of the so-called (allure of tlio wheat crop of last year, and the importation ot wheal, ir, the face of the fact that twelve millions of dollars’ worth of brcadstulis were exported in the lirst four months of 1807, immense numbers of immigrants were led, a much larger amount of wheat used for seed than usual, with a surplus still remaining over sufll- cient to break numerous speculators and several banks, it is gratifying to know that we shall have a surplus to more than make good the deficiency —not the “ failure,” for there never was a failure of tiro wheat crop in this country—of the last three crops of wheat. Four States—West Vir ginia, Kentucky, Ohio and Iudinua— made hut about half a crop. No oilier States were in that category, and Iowa, Missouri and Kansas made a good crop. Iustcad of a deduction of fifty per cent., or ninety millions of bushels, which would at least have threatened a lamino, scarcely more than a third of that deduction should be’ made. For three years past the product lias been hut about five onshels to each inhabitant.. The crop ot 18,19, If the census returns nro corrcci, was but live and a half bushels to eacli person. The promise for the present year is about six bushels. Wheat.—Tlie statistical returns for July show an improvement in condition of wintor wheat over last year, in every Suito but Texas, Nebras ka and Minnesota, the diminuition in the latter ease being but 4 per cent. The highest im provement is in Ohio, ICO per cent.; Georgia, 915; West Virginia, 78; Tennessee, 72; Indiana, 54; Kentucky, 58 ; Michigun, 35; Vermont, 25; New Jersey, 25; New York, 17, &c. Spring wheat was a lar leas variable product last year, and there is consequently less variation in the present comparison. All the States, however, except Vermont, New York and Pennsylvania, show an increase on last year. Corn.—The acreage in corn is unusually large every State sliowing a material increase, except Maine, New Hampshire, New York, and South Carolina. In the Southern States the increase ranges upwards to 102 per cent,, as in Arkansas The condition, as reported, is a little deficient in the Northern nud Western States, on account ol the lateness of the spring. With the Continuance of the present weather there is ample opportu nity to make up the entire deficiency, in which ease the yield will be unprecedented. Rye.-A glance at the tables will show the fine condition of this grain, and the remarkable uniformity of the improvement. ■ Barley. The condition of this grain promises an increase ot from ten to twenty per cent., in Massachusetts, Ilhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Indiana and 42 per cent in Ohio. Most ol the other States show 9ome increase. Oats —The condition of oats points to a full average in the West, particularly in Wisconsin and Minnesota, also in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, and the South • slightly less than last year in Maine, Vermont! New York, and Kentucky. Pastures and Hay.—These crops are almost universally large, from an average up to 15, 21) and oveu 8J) per cent, above. Potatoes.—The report of acreage of potatoes indicates a larger area planted iu every State, except Maine and New \ ork. The condition is also above an average with a few exceptions, among which are New York, Ohio, and Indinua. Fruits.—Peaches nre so exceptional in their successful seasons and localities that estimates for States cau scarcely be made witli accuracy.

Johnston had a great deal of the military spirit that pervaded tlie corps, and which was infused by Major Worth., lie was not remarkable for lifs studious habits, and be longed to a last set, of which I myself was an active member. Few of that set escaped arrest, oontlnmcnt and court martini. Joe Johnston was one of those genial spirits that gave test to a cadet’s life. Fttll of ambition - ami a desire to excel, ho was yet ever ready to join a scout ing party to Buttermilk Falls, tlie residence of the immortal Benney Havens. His appearance wns very military, and when under arms no man looked more tlie soldier. Ho was very Xpert iu tlie manual of arms, and carried his musket so perpendicular that it leaned a little too much to tlie front. Though we recognized his talents then, we little dreamed lie had tlie military genius lie lias since displayed as a commander. "JOHN H, MAORUDEIt. “My ohi friend and classmate, Jno B. Magru- grt dor, w is perhaps the most elegant and dintin- r/iie c.i. et at the Academy, In that day, and I do not behvc West Point has ever had hia equal. He was a first-rate soldier, of flue appearance, ami very strict when on duty as "oftlcer oi tlie day," never tailing to report the slightest viola tion of regulations, even though the delinquent was the most intimate friend and room-mate. This trait in his character I have reason to know from personal experience. John was lor the corps the “arbiter of things elegant, tlie glass of fhahiou.” 96th SEMI-ANNUAL EXPOSE.

Texas, 10.1; Mississippi, 0.4; Louisiana, 8 1.— The average is about the same as last year. There is a slight difference, ns reported, in favor of the present crop. Tlie department estimates made last October, of 1,835,000 hales, proved to be ! singularly accurate for approximate calculations i of so early a date, though they were severely criticised by Northern and Southern speculators, - some of whom publicly acknowledged their er ror after the crop was sold. It is too early t >l predict the successful avoidance of all the mime- I rous enemies of cotton. Had the last crop been I a good one it would have yielded2,500,000hales; I a very good one would have realized 3,000,000. ! Such results are possible tlds year. Wool.—An examination of this item ol tlie ta llies will bIiow that losses of sheep, unthrifty | condition, and a wet spring Imvohad an influence | both upon numbers and weight ot lleece, and will lead to tlie conclusion that our wool clip of I the present year is not materially larger tliuu ! tliut ol last year. Kecollectloaa ol' Cadet Lite-Rebel Ueiirr ul« as Hoys at West I-oInl. " Ad old Dragoon” is writing a series of inter esting sketches lor a Richmond paper, giving re miniscences of Cadet life at the West Point Mil itary Academy. Tlie following are extracts: " SIDNEY JHONSTON. “ The first cadet I ever heard give the word of command was Sidney Johnston, and the impres sion It is appearance made on me is as clear and distinct now ns it was then. His stalwnrt form and well developed muscles gave him an appear unco of great strength, while hia geutje maimers and benevolent countenance indicated a man of Hie teuderest affections. Hard to arouse to au ger, lie was ever ready to espouse the cause of Hie oppressed. His noble nature endeared him In Ids tel low cadets and his associates in alter life. On one of the fairest pages of history must he written the deeds of thin gallant soldier and true patriot "LEONIDAS POLK. "Leonidas Polk, tall and straight as an arrow, was the orderly sergeant of my company. Scru pulously strict in the discharge ol his duties, re- t ring in his manners, and a devout member, even then, of the Episcopal Church, he iuvariu- b y commanded the respect of us all. "robeut e. i.ee. "Robert E. Lee held the two offices in tlie corps usually filled by llte best soldiers of the class—sergeant-major and adjutant. He dis charged the duties of these offices with zeal and fidelity. His personal appearance surpassed in manly beauty tiial of any other cadet in the corps. Though firm ill his position, and perfectly erect, lie had none of tlie stiffness so often assumed by men who affect to be very strict in their ideas of wlie.t is military. His limbs, beautiful and symmetrical, looked as though they hail .gome lrotn a turning lathe; his step was as clastic as if lie spurned tlie ground upon which he trod. He was noted auioug his classmates as a great student, and as having pissed through the- trying ordeal ot a military school without a single demerit mark. (I gene rally got one hundred and fitly a year.) During Bob Lee's stay at West Point, I am satisfied that lie never swore au oath, tasted a drop ot ardent spirits, nor used ‘the weed’ in any shape or form. 'I he same virtues of abstinence may be attribut ed to Charles Mason; but I think ‘Charley’ oc- cussionally let slip au oath ; at least lie looked as if he did. Mason was In Lee’s class, and In- telleclually had no superior at the Point. How well 1 can recollect his bright, piercing eye, gleamlug and ‘snapping’ with excitement as he » o id at the black-board, demonstrating some in tricate and beautiful mathematical problem.— Mason early left tlie army, and lias since sought and gained that distinction in civil liie which his talents and pure character entitled him to.

My hales all weighed over 500 pounds. The first lot I sent to market averaged 562 pounds. My Impression Is, that 500 pounds Is about the capacity of the Press, ami a greater number of pounds subject the follow-block to too much risk, un less the sides of the cotton box was Increased. It would add greatly to the value of the Press II the cotton box was ten Inches longer. Iu haste, I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, &c., B. W. LAWTON. p.

With good active hands to work it, 1 mu satisfied that from eighteen to twenty bales might readily he packed in a day. This Press combines the advantages of lightness, and consequent portability ami simplicity, being easily man aged by any one of ordimtry intelligence.
