During a recent tour through" tKfc Upper part of the Stnte, says the Journal £>' Mes- sengeit^e had ample opportunity iiy observ- nlion, iB^fcrelty correct conclusion in regard to the prospects of the wheat and oilier pro vision crops. The wheat crop is likely to be an entire failure. The extent of ground plan ted is not more than one-third ns great as last year, and the prospects ere not half os good as they were at a corresponding date. So far ns the wheat crop is concerned, then, no re reliance, whatever, can be placed upon it.— Tho out crop is equally unpromising. It fol lows, therefore,.that whatever is to be eaten the coming year must be produced after the present time. From all we can lean, the planters are uni versally preparing to plant increased crops of cotton, and deciensed crops of corn nnd pro visions. The result will he, that there will not lie found food enough to support the po pulation of the State. Apprehended famine, therefore, is no bug-bear. Corn i.< already selling at ono dollar and tweuty-fivo cants per bushel. Hams 15 cents; Sides at 12^ cents; and beef at 10 cents. The deficiency in corn lias already caused tho stock raisers to kill nearly all their hogs. The pork crop next full, will, consequently, he necessarily short. Unless, therefore, an unusually large crop is planted this spring, there is good reason to apprehend serious and wide distress. Tl]^^esent depression in the price of cot ton shMd servo as a warning to all prudent and sagacious men. It should prompt them to produce more provisions and less of the staple. The immense influx of negroes, nnd the goncrnl disposition to plnni cotton, nre likely to bring upon the country just such a crisis ns we experienced ten years ngc If, in addition to the depreciation in cotton, we have a senreity of provisions, the suffering will he doubled. In 1840 provisions were abundant and cheap. Now provisions are very scarce and unusually dear. A fall in cotton will leave the planter without the means to purchase, and suflering is inevita ble. Wo are asked, is thero no remedy ? Our answer is, yes, there is n remedy, and the present is just the time to apply it. It consists in planting more corn, more pota toes, larger provision crops generally, nnd less cotton. No man should rely upon his neighbor; bul every one should attend to thii matter tor himself. We care not how much surplus corn is produced the pieseut year. It will require every bushel of it to bring up the hogfurop to a fair average. These nre plain words. Would.to Heaven they were (ess true than they nr ( fi.

There is no one article of this world’s comforts with which they nre so un provided. When n poor woman, and nn honest one, whim wo know well, carried home two pair of blankets, n pair fur herself and husband, and n pair (or her six childron, ns soon ns the children saw them they jum ped out of their straw, enught them in their arms, kissed them, blessed them, nnd danced for joy. An old woman, a very old one, the first night that she funnd herself so comforta bly covered, could not sleep n wink, being kept awake by the contrary, emotions of transport on the one hand, and the fear of not being thnnkful enough on. the other.” Now, if any of our young friends for older ones either) feel dull, lienvy, unhappy, in the midst of plenty,—yawning and stretching over books or “fancy work,” naiL made quite stupid, perhaps n littlo pottn^ under the pressure of the abundance nf“liented air” with which their rooms nre filled—and be cause their downy hods, with their abundant warm covers, have induced them to lio nt liiasl one hour longer than they ought to have done ; if these want to feel pnrticularly happy nnd peaceful, if they want to feel ns if they too could “dance for joy,” let them exert themselves ns much vs they possibly can, now that “Jack Frost” is laying his icy hand upon the ti eshold of the poor, and blowing his chilling breath through their hnlf-glazed windows, and making more cold their stoves, which hnve long felt but little fuel to heal them ;—I sny let those exert themselves in looking uller the poor ; espe cially the sick, the uged, the infirm, and ll e little children. Then, inclhiuks, many who now feel lislleas nnd hard, to ho pleased, and who hnvo rcallt/ so littlo trouble or privation that they nre prompt in making “mountains out of mole-hills,” would be brought, in con trasting their condition with the destitute and afflicted, to n sense of their great obli gation to their Supreme Benefuclcr,—nnd the language of thoir nmnbicd and lender hearts would he, “Not more than others I desserve, yet'God has given mo more,” nnd I shnll have to render an account to Him of how I have used it; and under this feeling every thing like superiority nnd self-consequence would retire crest-fallen, nnd these in tjieir turn would become beggars, plcadii^onr- nostly of Hint who knows nil things not to suffer them to heconMguilly of tho sin of forgetting or negleotin^liose who nre needy ' tuvonone to help them. And a blest consideration would make its way jMo itch minds, “Blessed is lie that consjlkKth the poor, the Lord will deliver him iiBmTe <^|»uhlB.” The rays of the Sun of right cousness would produce a feeling like balmy summer in such hearts, where, hitherto, the coldness produced by indifference, or penur- iousness, or indolence had too much prevail ed ; and the effusion .from this summer in the heart b$, “What shall I r.endfii' unto the Lord for all.His benefits t"-The Friend. ply, “that 8*dme fifteen years since you, -aid ed a friendless boy; often y enrs of age, to fiarry,his loaded basket up a hill—that you gqv.e good adyico and kindly words! lam that hoy.' l’ followed your ndyice—1 have lived honestly—I'have gained Wealth—and ’now, After manyi'years, I have come to re- turn itoiyou,,kind sir,dhe bread which you then mist s V :.|reelyjuppq the waters.” .. Bishop Bascom Again- HE ESCAPES PROM A MOB IN NEW ORLEANS. About the ycai 1830 it was thought ad visable, hy|lhe leading men in the Coloniza tion cause, thoo in lls Infancy, to send a so- crel ngont to the South; and this perilous nnd arduous office was tendered to Dr. Dns- com, by tlie Board at Washington; which lie promptly accepted. A more dangerous po sition could not have been assigned to him at that time. The movements of the Colon ization Society were then regnrded with ex treme jealousy and distrust by the entire Sooth. The Society was believed to ho hostile to tho “peculiar institution,” nnd its efforts met with the same violent opposition, denunciation, and threiitonings, in the South, tbnt nfterwards attended the notion of the Abolitionists. Indeed Colonization was, at that time, very little understood, and was, regarded as synonymous with Abolition. 1 — The people of the South were consequently most bitterly opposed to it, and in a Stnte of violent excitement at the time Dr. Bascom neceptod his mission'. His instructions were to proceed to New Orleans, and, after conferring privately with n few persons who were known to be favora ble to the movement, iict ns bethought most prudent. On arriving there, and consulting with his friends, he found it would he a most hazardous undertaking to attempt to hold a public meeting; and acting under the advice uf ihose with whom lie consulted, he deter mined to leave the city without publicly an nouncing the object of his visit. lie Imd, however, spoken in several placos in Ken tucky before going to New Orleans, and, his position' being known, his arrival had, theiefnfe, created considerable oxcitemert. I'his so rapidly increased that a meeting was held by a number of citizens, at which sever al inflammatory speeches were dolivered, and resolutions passed requiring him to leave tile city. A committco of furious and exeiled individuals was appointed to wait on him, and notify him to leave within twenty-four hours, or take tho consoquoncos. At this the Hon. Mr. Da.wson, of St. Francisvillo, afterwards a member of Congress from Lou isiana, a bold, gallant, nnd impulsive man, wns on n visit to Now Orleans. He was a man of real mettle, and no excitement ever arose, where he was, that he did not joiii one side or the other, and generally, he wns in dined to tho wcukev side. True to his na ture, when tlie excitement arose against Dr. Iksconib, Dawson, although he wns person ally, n total stranger to him, nssumodji hold stand in his defence, nnd immediately set about a plan for his protection How he succeeded \ve shall presently see. The committee called on Dr. Bascom, in formed him of the excited state of public, feelings, nnd ordered him to leave the city in twonty-four hours, or tnko the consequences, which, they asserted, would he most serious. •Gentlemen,’said he in reply, “1 had intend ed to leavtMu-inorrow morning; but now- hoard npproaching tho’ room. Anticipating something serious, Dr. Bascom arose, ap proach^ the door, nnd, looking into the linll, saw advancing towurds him n large crowd of rough men,led by 'one wholmd llic air and dress of a gentleman. Ho fearlessly' confronted them, and demanded, the object of thoir orrnnd. Mr. Dowsed—for it was lie who led this uncouth baud—laughed nnd assured him that lie was his friend. Tl.o whole party were then invited into Ins room by Dr. Bascum, whim D-uvsiii informed him who ho was; r6-nssurod him of his friendship, and explained to him the nature of his visit. “Thoso”snid ho, nre all huatmeu iVom Ken tucky, Ohio, Virginia, Indiana, Missouri, nnd Tennessee. Most of them have hoard you preach in times pnst; and those who have not heard you themselves) hnve heard of you from their mothers or their Irieuds.— When I heard ol your danger, Mr. Il'iacqtn, ']■" ; ;cm lor your protection} tuiQ*you see the. result.

There's u thousand mbre such brave buys ns these at the levcu; and they.all swear thoyfll dio for you.!’ Over powered by the chivalry of; Dawson, nnd, the, manliness nnd affection qf the hardy boatmen, Dr. Bascom wept, ns tl.ehmvennd good only can weep, ns lie returned his heart felt thanks.

He had previously written to a friend to procure acliuicli,In which hewish- c'l to deliver n public discourse in favor of .Colonization.

Dri Bdscoih proceeded directly to jko. place of meeting. He was met at the door by the leading mem bers of the Mcthodht Church of that city, and also by Dr.' Potts, nil of whom implored hint not to attempt to speak. ' They declared that tho public mind wa3 highly incensed ’against him, and that there wore nt that time a number of armed men in the church de termined to use violence if lie attempted to speak. This did not in tho Joasl intimidate him; but resisting all importunities, Dr. Bas- com ninrchcdr directly through the church, •and nscettdBAtha-pnlpit—Knoiultg .Hint dn- lay w-as dangerous lie did not'tako his sent, but turning to the audience, told them that he wns nwnre of the oxci'.sd Rt nto of public feelings—nwnro of threatened violonco, ufl! ho asked, as a right, to ho heard before Im port of the Slate of Illinois, wero. mr.chi in censed by the depredations of n haml of liqrse thieves who infested that portion "of tho cour.iry. Every exertion had been made to discover tho men engaged in this nefarious business, but hitherto, in vain; and valuable animals wore sliilcn, lind lost to their owners, in defiance' of the utmost vigi lance nnd care. I Dining such a stute ofaffairs, the ’ citizens residing iollie region of the thieves boenme thoroughly excited, nnd were wound up to such n pitch of indignntion, that a body of men wero furined styled ltnngers, whoso ex plicit duty was to expunge tlie district of nil superstitious characters, and endeavor to put a slop to tlie depredations of the horse thieves. Mhnri’.y' after this build commenced opera tions, word wits coiivoyod to the lender of the linneers that n valuable horse which had been stolon the night previous, could then lie fouiid hn tho premises of a limn named Burt, locked up in iho stnliio. Although Burt heretofore had li’oen looked upon ns an hon est mnn and nn upright citizen, yot the Cnp- tnin deemed it Ins duty to at least examine his farm and learn tho truth or falsity of the rrpoirt, Accordingly ho summoned some half do zen of his Hnngers 'to meet him nt n spot not fur-iom Bun’s house,.nnd before morn ing, put lor the samo place .himself. — Daylight wns hardly discernible in tho oast, the hazy light of coming dawn had not yet penotrnied the bottom, where tho suspicious men resided, as .tlie Hangers, charged with the fearful mission of life or death, silently approached, nnd surrounded the dwelling.— Leaving three of tho hand to guard the en trance, the Captain proceeded with tlie.oth ers to the stable, broke open tho door, nn4 found tho missing horso, as lmd been slated, safely stalled inside. Not a lingering doubt now remninof of Burt’s guilt, nnd with stern determination. to mako such nn examination of him us would dtiter. others from a like transaction, t‘..'

I. lie words were uttered rapidly, and wore promptly answered by a man who srose in the midst of the nudience, and cried, with nn nnlli, Hint he should be heard. This was the same Mr. Dawson who had played so conspicious a part in liis behalf at New Orleans. He had learned Dr. Buscom’s destination, and, with iho chivalrous spirit which led him at first to espouse his cause, hud, unknowing-to him, gone to Natchez to aid in Ins protec tion. And here his voice triumphantly .pre vailed, lie was answered by on almost unanimous agreement to hear whnt Bascom had to say, at least lor one hour. Accord ingly the address was commenced; nnd never before did the oloquont speaker labor more powerfully or effectively,, The exciting cir cumstances under v liich he wus placed seem ed to act as nkind of inspiration, und nerve his soul to one of the noblest oflorts of elo quence. “ His words saemril oracles, That pirced their bosoms; sqH each mnn would turn, Anti goze in wonder oil his neighbors race, Thnt with iho like dumb wonder answered him.
