people. The habit spoken of is one of con

corrected.
To tlii F.litor of t hr Courier: — Iti the

who. having no moderation in their minds, j

given utterance to, on the other hand, the
superlative degree i- ever predominant.
The lamentations at this time about heat
are more frequent than the praises of Presi

Society at Newport.
A letter from Newport to the N. Y.
Timet, gives a rather unfavorable account
of the fashionables who arc sporting at
! Newport The writer says that the society
at present may be divided as follows :
1. The few old-fashioned, long time
I visitors.
| 2. _ The new-comers full of money and
| monkey isms.
j 3. Young men who, in turn are divided
- who an radi a • - •
; and tho.-e wh - an- timid and ridiculous.
The first class may be recognized by a
quiet demeanor, a significant reserve.
They attend the hops, enjoy themselves
quietly, entertain their friends unosten
ti.-mslv. and take th-ir baths regularly.
The second class dress loudly—the men
appear daily in three or four different
suits. In the morning patent leather
pumps, with huge, plated buckles, plaid
tight - the kn no waistcoat,
white shirt, with little frill ■ running cross
nay.-, blue cravat, with fringed ends, a
turnover collar, with everlasting long
points, a short-tailed long watsted coat,
arid a little, round straw hat, with a broad,
blue ribbon,greet the observant eye. At
lunch the same person looms up in full
.sailor rit-trine. On his head a wide brim
med, blaek-batided hat; about his neck a

: my part, i never could understand
how any human creature could find in
clination or tium to devote to this full-dress
abomination ; but they do. These festive
members of the second class are numerous;
they lounge in the balls; smoke, spit, and
*wcar on the v in 1 -; they drive fast
and furious along the streets and in the
retired ways beyond, and on the beach
itself; they order, in tones of mild thun
der. wine of diverse name and nature and
pri< : and effect; they bully the inoffensive
waiter, and rail at unprotected women;
tlx v affect stocks, and talk knowingly at
j . ip th ■ barber-shop, on the
piazza, about Enc and Gold, about Ilock
I 'and and Gregory, about old Vanderbilt
and old Drew, and old this, that, or the
other; some of them own places here and
converse in tones quite audible and dts
tre.-sing to every one about them, telling
how they propose improving the drive
way by .-itch investment, or how thtfy
think of buildiiiir an artificial lake at a cost
:of thousands. These people in short coats
and big horn buttons are great nuisances
in their way, and also in other people’s
way; still they are fellow humans, and
perhaps will serve to some good end after
a!!. But their f<-miiiinj companions, their
partners in wealth and vulgarity, and very
youngn. -s and absurdity—what can be
said of them ? Nothing that would seem
severe.
They dress abominably and not
worse, while their grammar, they have a
treat deal ol it. hut its dreadfully bad.
Hair, (let’s begin at the top,) they have
any quantity of. It would do you good to j
look at it. You can see it at your leisure, ,
either on or off their heads. B its, mice, 1
frizzes, rods curls, ringlets, earlets, eye- j
.ei.-, beau catchers, false pieces, side pieces, ;
hack pieces, front pieces, other side pieces, !
bugles, full bloods, mops, horse; tails,
sweeps, feathers, puffs, Africaincs and j
shiners—these are a few of the varieties. !
\V ith most names, doubtless, your readers !
may be as ignorant as I—for such I ap- J
pend a brief dictionary :
Bats —Big wads.
Mice—Little wads.
Earlets—curls in front of the car.
Bulges—Double rats —Huge wads of
; [paper, hair, anything to make a roll which
looks like a burlesque on a Bologna sausage.
Full Bloods—-Queer little triangular py
: ratnids.
Horse Tails—Long branches of hair.
Afrieaiiies—A kind of wig that crinkles
, exactly like a negroe’s wool.
I All of this and much more, is the rage
j with a certain class of very outre people
| who seem to have a great deal of money
and time, both of which they invest very
decidedly in hair.
THE LAST KOVAL WEDDING AND
SCANDAL.
Victoria’s Singular Coiiiiuct.
The London correspondent of the Chi
cago Jour ll and gives the following particu
lars of tb*- recent marriage and sacrifice of
one of her daughters: .
A KOVAL MARRIAGE.
All these matters, however, pale beneath
the great event of the week, the marriage
! of I’incess Helena, the third daughter of
Queen Victoria, which took place on
Thursday last There is something really
distressing about the affair, as you will ad
: mit when 1 narrate the facts. The match,
i from first to last has been distasteful to
j the nation, and now that the Queen has
persisted in sacrificing her child, if she
could read the hearts of her people she
would find therein recorded an universal
1 sentence of condemnation. It. was sup
posed, some little time since, that the mar
riage would not take place, but the Queen
was obstinate and persisted in her deter
mination.
The real truth is, that, aside from other
objections to the bridegroom, lie actually
lias a wire and four children living in Ger
many. It is true that the marriage was
called a morganatic one, but it was solemn- j
ized, nevertheless, under the authority of
the Church. Whether the Princess Helena
was aware of this fact or not is doubtful, j
but the Queen was, and recklessly tram
pled all considerations of morality and jus- i
tice, to say nothing of religion, under foot j
It is well known that she was remonstrated
with on the subject, but to no effect. She J
had set her mind upon the marriage, and
defended her future son-in-law with the j
utmost spirit.
The cause of her infatuation has just
been revealed. When the statue of the
late Prince Consort was inaugurated in
Germany last year, the Queen’s attention
was attracted by one of the spectators who
seemed to be overwhelmed with emotion,
and throughout the ceremony his handker
chief was constantly employed in wiping
from his t'ace what were apparently tears.
(Some who were present say, for tears
read perspiration.) This sort of conduct
was just the thing to touch the Queen’s
sensibilities. She inquired at once who
the individual was, and learned that it was
Prince Christian Schleswig-Holstein. She
sent for him, took a fancy to him, and
finally threw her daughter into bis
arms, since which her infatuation lias
been complete. There is scarcely any
one who does not believe that this petty
(rcriuan i ’riuce, poor even to poverty, his
real income being only about a thousand
dollars a year, an adventurer, a notorious
gambler and sporting man. a man with all
the low vices of the German character and
none of its virtues, and simply playing a
part which he had thoroughly studied be
ibrehand. Conscious of the Queen’s weak
ness. he purposely placed himself in her
way, and by his crocodile tears on the occa
sion mentioned, secured an interest in her
which he has managed to increase and re
tain until he has finally accomplished his
purpose. I am sorry to say there is no
room to doubt the correctness of these
statements.
It was the place of the Prince of Wales
io give away his sister at the altar. He
plumply refused to do so, although he was
present at tim ceremony, to avoid future
scandal. Failing him. that duty devolved
upon his young brother, the Duke of Cam
bridge. He not only declined, but was not
present at the wedding at all. The bride
groom's father, brother, and sister, al
,l. ugh especially invited by tin' Queen, all
refused to come to England, and by their
presence sanction the outrage then com
mitted. Although it is a sad affair, and
while much sympathy is felt for the young
bride, the auguries for her future are of the
darkest character, and the Queen and her
mother has sunk to a very low degree in

Night and darkness are behind.
i Eden with its angels bold,
Love and flowers and coolest sea,
Is less an ancient story told
Than a glowing prophecy.
In the spirit's perfect air,
In the passions tame and kind,
Innocence from selfish rare.
The real Eden we shall hnd.
When tho soul to sin hath died,
True beautiful and sound,
Then all earth is sanctified,

Waves.
It i.s not a little remarkable that an
' element like water, one of the prime prin- ,
ciplr- of which i* that it always tends to '
a level, should be so liable to agitation. :
; ; i that when in lure" masses it should in
reality so seldom be at rest. But its very .
fluidity, which is the cause of its tendency j
to a .-.fate of quietude, is also the reason i
for it-almost constant agitation. It re
quires but a breath of air to disturb its
placidity with ripple.-': and the increase of
the breeze, especially where there is a large
area, rolls it up in waves until the surface
of the s i becomes alternate hills and val
ley-. One might -appose that the wind
would pass smoothly over the face of the
, waters without exciting any great com
motton, the contrast in the density o f the
two elements being so great; but it requires
only a few moments for a strong wind to
lash the ocean into fury, and to cause its
waves to rise, as the surface goes, mountain
high. This expression, however, is
mere hyperbole. The ' actual height
jof waves is far below the ordinary
estimate. Easily as the surface of wa
' ter is_ disturbed _by the wind and
raised into waves, it appears that there is
a certain height beyond which it is not li
able to be raised by any ordinary gales,
f hi.- height is seldom, if ever, more than
; ten feet, which, with the corresponding
depression between the waves would make
the elevation above the trough of the sea
twenty feet. Most persons who have been
at sea in a storm, and who have carefully
watched the approach of the mighty swells,
which, as they are coming on, threaten to
' overwhelm even the largest vessel, would
j be ready to assert that they have seen
waves at least fifty or sixty feet in height,
hut till above twenty, or at the utmost
twenty-five feet, is in the imagination. Os
course no accurate measurement of the
waves can be made at sea, but an approxi
: ination to gauging them has often been
• reached, and under the most favorable cir
cumstances, with the above result. Where
| a wave strikes an opposing object, as upon
a bold shore, or against a rock or light
house, the water is dashed up to a far
greater height; but twenty feet may he set
down as the height of the loftiest moun
tain wave that is seen at sea, the assertions
of young and old voyagers to the contrary
notwithstanding.
! The velocity of waves is a far more ca
rious and interesting subject of investiga
| tion. Os course it is understood by all
| who have any acquaintance with the mat
ter, that the water itself does not move
| forward with the wave, even when it at
tains the greatest velocity. Only the form
! of the wave advances, the wave itself seem
| ing to have a separate existence from the
i water, and holding on its course with tre
mendous speed and power, while the par
| tides of water, and the entire mass of the
I fluid, simply rise and sink, being made the
sport of one wave after another as the suc
cession comes on. When waves come in
from the deep sea and strike upon a shoal,
or upon a shelving shore, they then make
progress, not by the force of the wind; but
only on the principle of the water seeking
its own level. The velocity of the waves
is in proportion to their magnitude, the
largest proceeding at double the rate of the
fleetest steamship, or about forty miles an
hour. Those who are familiar with the
sea have often, when running befort the
wind, watched their progress, seeing one
j after another, With regular intervals,
j sweeping by and leaving the ship far be
i hind.
I The power of the waves is tremendous,
j and tliis force is almost a mystery when
j we bear in mind the fact just stated, that
it is only the form, and not the substance
i that moves. Those who have felt the suc
; cessful blows of these mighty trip-hammers
| against the sides or bows of a ship when
i the ocean lias been violently agitated, can
scarcely believe that the entire mass of
water has not been hurled with immense
j velocity against tim vessel. And when
I these waves come rolling in upon a shallow
; bank their force is greatly increased, so
that the bulwarks must be strong indeed
that can withstand their shocks.
BRITISH FOREIGN POLICY.
i Speech of Lord Stanley, the New Secre
tary of Foreign Affairs.
Lord Stanley, the new Secretary of
Foreign Affairs, having been re-elected for
i the borough of King’s Lynn, presented
: himself before his constituents on the 1 Ith,
; and made a lengthy speech. After allud
j ing to the reform question, he made the
following important statement in regard to
the foreign policy of Great Britain :
There is a misunderstanding in the pub
| lie mind as to what is the proper policy of
non-intervention. It is spoken of as a
. purely selfish policy, as if it meant that we
| were to sit wrapped up in the contempla
tion of our own happiness and our own
j privileges, quite indifferent to the rest of
| mankind. Now, if that were the view I
took of it, it i.s a policy with which I would
| not have anything to do. Mere selfishness
’does not pay. [Hear, hear. J We shall find
i that out soouer or later. And selfishness
does not. alter its character, whether it re
lates to a nation or whether it relates to
an individual. The substances of non-in
terferance in continental disputes lies deep
er. tt lies partly in our vast Indian and
colonial interests making up the British
Empire, and throwing upon us duties and
responsibilities with which continental
States have nothing to do, and which are
in themselves a burden enough for one na
tion to discharge. It lies partly in the
duty we own to our poorer classes at home,
for whom we are trustees, upon whom an
increase of debt, and consequently of tax
ation, must fall with crushing weight.
It is partly in the conviction we enter
tain that example is worth more than pre
cept ; and that by simply existing as we
do a'free self-governed nation, wo are doing
more than could be done by a thousand
dispatches or any combinations we might
put in practice against both the policy of'
despotism and the policy of revolution.
(Loud cheering.) It lies also in our ex
perience and recollection of past mistakes,
in the lessons which our own history
teaches, how often in former days we have
fought for objects which after all we did
not secure, or, if we did secure them, were
not worth the price we paid'for them.
(Hear, hear.) A man may feel deeply in
terested in European affairs, and yet may
reasonably doubt whether hasty sympa
thies and imperfect knowledge are the best
qualifications for dealing wisely with such
complicated matters. (Hear, hear.) But
the result which England expects her
ministry to work out is not of easy accom
plishment. \\ e object to take action in
continental quarrels ; but we object also to
see our moral influence lost or greatly
lessened. Now, to satisfy these appa
rently conflicting claims is the problem we
have to solve. That advice, or, if need be,
mediation, should not be refused when
asked for and likely to succeed, and yet
that it should never be offensively ob
truded : that neutrality should be main
tained without a cynical affectation of
indifference; that making peace at home ,
our first object, we should seek the peace
of Europe —these are rules easy to lay
down : the difficulty is to apply them to
practice. (Hear.)
To that end my efforts shall be applied.
Less than that I cannot promise ; more
than that those who can appreciate the
difficulties will sav I ought not to promise.
(Hear, hear.) It is the wish of England
to live in harmony with all her neighbors.
Hear. hear. But there are two powers
which by their greatness and position, af
fect us more peculiarly than the rest. One
of these is France, our nearest neighbor,
formerly our rival in arms, now our friend
ly competitor for the first place in the
civilization of the world. (Hear, hear.)
When we speak of France with relation to
public affairs we necessarily speak of the
government of France, and whatever
judgment any individual maybe disposed to
pass on the internal or general policy of
"V- Emperor of the French, is a question
with vviuep we have nothing to do. and

Business in Buenos Ayres—General Des
pondency—Full Details of the Battle
of the 2 Ith of May.
A correspondent of the New York Timm
w riting from Buenos Ayres, says ;
Business is very dull here—scarcely any
thing doing, save what pertains to a supply
of the army. A feeling of despondency
prevails.
We have the fullest details from the seat
of war up to June 1. At the last mail all
tho news from May 20 was apocryphal. I
proceed to give it seriatim :
On the 21st and 22d there was heavy
■skirmishing. The armies were less than
two miles apart, and tho Allies nearest the
river Parana were distant from Fort
Itapiri about eight miles. They lay be
tween two creeks, one of which served,
with its marshy border, for a front fortifi
cation for the Paraguayans.
On the 24th, orders were issued to the
Allies to prepare arms and food for two
days’ absence from camp, and the cooking
was interrupted at 11 A. ”31. by a general
attack of the whole force of the enemy,
numbering over 200,000 men, in three di
visions, coming in a line long and deep 1
across the line of the Allies’ camp. A sud
den call to arms rallied most of the troops
in good order, and Gen. Mitre determined
to penetrate their centre, which he did.—
The two wings swung round at once and
attacked his flanks, and the peril of the
day was great.
Gen. Osono (Brazilian) was in command
of the right wing, and he infused his own
heroic spirit into his troops. Gen. Flores
(Oriental) also distinguished himself lead
ing the centre column. The Argentines,
under Gen. Paunero, in the left column,
did equally well.
The Paraguayans carried themselveswith
the utmost bravery. The cavalry came
up at a deliberate trot, and cut their way
through the infantry right along up to the
cannon’s mouth, and eutdown the artillery
men at their guns. They then went and
sacked the allied camp, and in open day
and during a raging battle carried off the
plunder. The battle lastedtill dark, when
both parties retired to the fortifications,
leaving a heavy loss upon the field.
The Paraguyans left 4,200 killed and
wounded, 370 prisoners, 4 guns, and large
numbers of swords, muskets, carbines,
sabres, axes, &c. The Allies left 3,347
killed and wounded, of whom there were
in all more than 200 officers. The sick and
wounded from tho overcharged hospitals
above are coming down the river to Buenos
Ayres and to Montevideo, by almost daily
steamers. These ctirry’ back the ever
coming Brazilian recruits to the seat of
war. The chills are very destructive to the
soldiers; small-pox also prevails in the
camp, and the losses by the ills of various
kinds equal those of battle.
The Cholera in New York.
The following letter, from a reliable party
j in New York, conveys intelligence of es
pecial interest to merchants and others
j wishing to visit that city, and should, we
think, relieve the apprehension which ex
ists in reference to the cholera there :
New York, August 4,1866.
Messrs. Editors : —Having received a
number of communications from our friends
South, asking information in regard to the
j prevalence of cholera in the city; stating
| also that many persons are deterred from
| visiting New York in consequence, you
| will oblige us very much, and do those de
i sirous of doing so a'service, by stating
; through your journal that, in our opinion,
| there has not been a single case of genuine
| Asiatic cholera in or about the city. Quite
j a number of sporadic eases, called cholera,
| have occurred, but these, in proportion to
j population, are very few, and confined al
i most exclusively 7 to the poorer classes in the
! low, crowded localities, where cleanliness is
i unknown. In our judgment, no more risk
: is taken in coming to New York now, than
in former years at the same period. In
confirmation of this statement we refer you
to the Journal of Commerce of this date,
which we think gives the facts as they ex
ist. Your obdt. servts.. M., T. & Cos.
Washington Gossip.
Washington correspondents say that
Cabinet matters begin to assume anew
phase, according to outside report, and the
reformation promised threatens not to be
so complete as was at first supposed. The
immediate friends of 3lr. Stansbery assert
that that gentleman predicated his accep
tance of the Attorney Generalship upon
the retention of Mr. Stanton in the Cabi
net, in which he was backed by very strong
and influential Western influences. Stanton
on being applid to, promised, if retained,
to come out squarely and unequivocally
in support of the President’s policy. His
instructions to Gen. _ Thomas, _ refusing
military interference in the affairs of the
Tennessee Legislature are cited as an evi
dence of this arrangement. It is also posi
tively promised that a letter will shortly
appear from Mr. Stanton in reply to Sena
tor Doolittle’s circular endorsing the
Philadelphia Convention and all the gen
eral features of 3lr. Stanton’s administra
tion. Stanton’s enemies assert that this
arrangement has been brought about in
response to the piteous appeals of the
Secretary of War to be retained. They
allege that he is positively afraid to leave
the office as yet.
Handsomely Turned. —A correspond
ent of the Macon Telegraph , writing of
some of the incidents of a’ late session of
the County Court of Putnam, reports the
following good repartee by J. A. Turner,
late of the Countryman :
After the business of the Court was
over, just before the adjournment, and
while the bench and bar were indulging in
pleasantries, Dr. H., a wag, applied for
license to plead and practice law in the
County Court. In order to humor the
joke, the Court appointed J. A. Turner to
examine the candidate for license.
Quoth Turner to applicant, with great
dignity and gravity: is the first
requisite for making a good lawyer?
“To be a d—d rascal,” was H.'s ready
response, followed by great laughter, the
spectators evidently- thinking Turner was
done for.
But Turner arose with dignity, and, ad
dressing the Court, said : “May it please
the Court, I deem it unnecessary to pro
long this examination. Dr. 11. has said
that the first requisite to make a good law
yer is to be a d—d rascal. I pronounce
the Doctor fully qualified, and move that
he be enrolled as an attorney of this
Court.”
John Mitch el and the Fenians. —
Some time ago, during the delivery of a
speeeh by Head Centre Stephens, in Phila
delphia, that worthy referred to the Pari
sian Head Centre of the order. John
Mitchel. Someone in the crowd wanted
to know what had become of the fifty
thousand dollars sent to Mitchel. Ste
phens replied. "Don’t mention his name,”
that he (Mitchel) “desired to be forgot
ten. M hereupon Mitchel writes from his
domicil in Paris in effect—“l do not desire
to be forgotten. But. instead of my re
ceiving fifty thousand dollars. I received
over seventy-five thousand dollars in gold
—all remitted by the Fenian Brotherhood
iu New York. Mitchel declares that the
whole of this sum was safely transmitted
to Stephens while he was in Ireland or
handed to him personally in Paris, and for
the whole of which he (Mitchel) holds re
ceipts.
Now. let this question be repeated, only
with a change of name. M hat has Mr.
Stephens donewith the $75,000. —Macon
Telegraph.
The Greensboro (Ala.) Beacon, of the
2>th ult., says, we hear of many large
fields of corn and cotton, on the best lands
in the State, that will make little or noth
ing. A gentleman living in this immediate
neighborhood, and who is by the way. one
of the best planters in this section, in- )
formed us a few days ago that he had just
returned from a trip to the canebrake, j
where he saw fields of cotton, on the best
of land, that will not make 100 pounds of
seed cotton to the acre.
Head-Centre Stephens has not been able
to obtain possession of the Fenian Head
quarters. in Moffit Square, New York.
The Roberts men declare that Stephens ■
has no legal right to rule the Brotherhood
in America.

Georgia.
The Rome Ga., Courier says :
Cherokee Georgia.—’ The great drouth j
that came on several weeks since in Middle |
and Lower Georgia, is now .being fearfully
realized in this section of the State. There I
have been a few partial rains in Cherokee
j Georgia, but in probably at least, one-half
| of the territory of this section, the corn has
i suffered already very much, and unless
copious rain comes in a few days the crop
j will be almost a com [fiete failure. The
| co.ton has not suffered so much,
i North Eastern - Georgia. —3lajorßell,
of Banks county, says that the wheat crop
of that county will not average more than a
i half crop, and the late dry weather has
i done much damage to the corn crop. He
! believes there will not be more than a half
! crop of com made in that county.
.Southern - Georgia. — The Quitman
| Banner says; Since our last, this section
has been visited by frequent heavy rains and
the ground is once more thoroughly water
j ed. This rain comes too late for the corn
; crops, which are probably- the poorest ever
i produced in Southern Georgia. 3\ e hear
serious complaint of the rust, and the shed
-1 ding of fruit in cotton ; but. judging from
; the most reliable accounts we get, there
will be an average yield.
Florida.
The Ocala Banner says : On a recent
trip through Middle Florida, we made
many enquiries in regard to the prospects
of the crops, and were much gratiaed to
learn the cotton crops are pretty- generally
promising. though in some instances we
heard of entire failures. W e saw very 7
j little corn, it having been seriously dam
; aged by the drought. In fact, from what
‘ we saw, we fear t here will be much suffer- j
; ing in many localities for the want of bread.
Mississippi*
A Memphis special states that the pros
pects of the cotton crop about Corinth,
| Miss., are very discouraging,
i The Mississippian says :
We have embraced every opportunity
i offered to ascertain from planters through
i out the State the condition of the corn and
i cotton crops. Front information received
i by ub from various reliable sources, and
; from different parts of the State, we write
| it down as a settled thing that not more
■ than one-fourth of a crop will he made, if
I that.
i The Louisville Star says;
We have just returned from a trip up
the river, and can assure our readers of
this part of the State, and the “world
generally,” that all the reports about tho
destruction of the crops by the late hail
storms are unfounded. The storms in
jured the crops very little. On the uplands
we never saw better crops than arc at
present in South Mississippi. In the
Pearl River Valley the recent wet weather
injured the cotton slightly, but not to that
{ extent at first supposed. We are fully
persuaded that South Mississippi will
make an abundance of corn and cotton.
The Aberdeen Examiner says:
Our country friends speak cheerfully of
the cotton prospects, though generally
despondent as regards corn. We still
think, however, that corn enough will be
! made io the country for the home supply
—enough for bread, seed, and to feed the
j stock, and we should not grumble if we
1 can do this.
Virginia.
It is stated that the crops in Southwest
; ern Virginia arc of the most promising
i character. The oat and- hay crops, now
; harvested, are splendid, and the corn
! promises to yield a most bountiful harvest.
I There will, it is believed, be almost enough
: produced there to feed the entire State.
: The wheat turned out better than was ex
pected, and realized about half a crop.
Texas.
Under date of Galveston, Texas, June
i 18, Inspector-General Gregory says;
Owing to the heavy rains of April and
May, and the inundation of the bottom
lands, a reduction must be made of at least
twenty 7 per cent, of the estimated yield of
cotton, but in the western portion of the
State where the grazing interests have
suffered in past years from drouth, the
stock will be materially improved. The
cotton crop is large and nearly ripened,
and in prime order. The wheat crop,
which has been harvested, is abundant,
and of the best quality. There is enough
on hand to feed the entire population for
i two years.
The Middle States.
11l Western New York the growth of
; wheat is a splendid one, the yield of some
fields being estimated at forty bushels to
tho acre; and from the central portions of
the State we have equally favorable ac
counts. The farmers are not croaking, as
it is certain they would be if there was any
prospect of a short crop. Spring crops
started a little backward, but the hot*
weather of the last month has strengthened
and hastened forward the grain amazingly.
Corn is well advanced and very healthy in
appearance, while the fruit crop will make
good whatever deficiencies there may be iu
New England.
Ohio.
A letter from Newark to the Cleveland
■ Leader says: In the Muskingum valley
corn is somewhat backward, but promises
! a splendid yield ; it is in some places out
jin the tassel. I saw there as fine fields of
| wheat as could be wished for. As I beheld
J waving grain and beautiful fields of corn
! stretching for miles, I thought that famine,
with her dusty wings, would never darken
this, one of the loveliest valleys in the
State.
The Troy 7 Union say's: A large portion
of the wheat in this immediate neighbor
hood has been cut this week. Many fields
yield a full crop—some of them consider
ably above the average, while the grain,
we are told, will be much heavier, and con
sequently better than last year. Intelli
; gent farmers express the opinion that the
i wheat crop of Miami county this year will
I exceed that of last year.
| The grain crops of Colorado have been
I harvested. The wheat crop is good, and
| other crops are fair.
Indiana.
The Jay and Adams Republican says :
I Wheat is being rapidly harvested. Early
| wheat in good situations is tolerably good;
j late is universally poor when much exposed
|to water during the winter. Corn looks
i very well. Some fields on the drained bot
| toms are magnificent. We have seen corn
j on the famous 3liami bottoms, but it never
j surpassed some now growing on the Sal
i monie. Oats, flax and potatoes all pro
; mise well.
I The New Albany Commercial says;
Our state exchanges give glowing accounts
of the excellent wheat harvest, and the
famine that was predicted by speculators a
feu 7 weeks since need not be feared. 'When
the yield is thin the grain is large, which
will _ make up the deficiency by superior
quality. The wheat harvest of Indiana
this yrnar may be set down as above the
average.
Illinois.
W r heat, all there is, looks very well for a
i crop of fourteen bushels per acre. Barley 7
—more than an average amount put in
} this year and looks very flattering, and
farmers think it will come up to twenty
: five bushels or more per acre. Rye very
fair ; will yield about twenty bushels per
acre. Oats promise well. Corn will yield
more than an average crop. Wild and
tame hay in abundance.
Michigan.
The Detroit Free Press says : The only 7
j crops which seem to be at ail behind those
j of previous years are those of wheat and
clover. In some parts of the State, par
ticularly through the first and second tier
i of counties, the want of a snow covering
and the severe weather seriously affected
both those crops, but the approach of har
vest time demonstrates that the injury
was less extensive than was at first feared.
Where little was expected on the opening
of spring we are now assured that full half
a crop will be realized. Os corn, oa ts and
potatoes it may be safe to say the promise
is better by a third than ever before. All
the hardier fruits are in abundance.
Wisconsin.
Winter wheat all cut; not much in this
county-. Barley all cut; average yield.—
Spring wheat will be a heavy crop and good
: quality. Oats better than an average crop.
. Corn looks fine, and prospects very- flatter
ing for all grain. All reports concur in the
statement that a splendid crop of grain
will be gathered here. The wheat crop
will be large and ot fine quality-. Barley
and oat crops will also be large and of fine
quality. Corn, though backward, promises
well.
lowa.
The wheat and oat harvest is about
half completed. It has been somewhat re
tarded by wet weather, though not to injure
crops. Farmers say the average crop will
exceed that of any season for several years
before. Barley- is good. Owing to seed
rotting in the ground in the spring, nearly
all the corn in the country was replanted,
consequently will be late, but a large crop
is anticipated if not injured by frost.
Missouri.
The prospects for a good c-rop of all
sorts of grain are very encouraging. M in
ter wheat is harvested, and will average
twenty-five bushels per acre. Oats, ry;e.
barley, corn and potatoes look very promis
ing:.
The wheat crop this year is unusually
good. It will average twenty-five bushels
per acre. All other crops look well. Ap
ples will be plenty.
Minnesota.
The prospect for a heavy- crop of wheat
and oats never looked better. Com was
planted late, but we shall have an average
crop. There is every prospect of a bounti
ful harvest in this section of all kinds of
grain.

Readers —tax payers —working men 1—
Come with us a few moments. Do you
see that map of the country hanging against
the wall over yonder ? Let us step closer
: and look at it. Trace the water mark
—-the ocean line with us from the Bay of
Fundy. down by Cape Cod, Cape May,
Cape Hatteras. Cape Fear, Cape Florida,
Mobile Bay, Corpus Christi Bay, thence
over to Cape San Lucas, thence up the
golden st rands of the Pacific coast to Vic
! toria, and then across the country to the
pine points of Maine. Quite a little trip!
i And all this is our country. The pine for
ests of Maine, Michigan, Pennsylvania,
Minnesota and Texas—-the rocky hilL of
New England—the coal beds of the Key
! stone State —the rich plantations of the
South —the broad prairies of the West —
! the golden gulches of California the
quartz mountains of Nevada, Montana,
Idaho, &e. —the Eastern, Western, North
! era and Southern States, all belong to the
Union—to you, the sovereigns. *
i And do you realize, traitors, that all
i tins country is controlled by the devil of
| New England radicalism, New England
aristocracy, New England protection, New
| England Puritanism, New England nar
: row-mindedness, and New England bon
j docraey ? Let us see. Why, up there is a
' fittle point of land. It is where the witch
burning, psalm-singing Puritans lauded,

Hardly a State in the six last named but
is equal iu size to all of Now England,
while one is a third larger. And the popu
lation is nearly double.
In view of the fact that since the census
was taken from which we glean the above
figures, the New England States have fallen
off twelve per cent., and the six Western
ones have increased over thirty per cent.,
it is safe to say we more than double them
in population, as we befit them five times
and over in extent.
And all this tract of country, an empire
of itself, has but the same representation
in the Senate with forty-five representatives j
in the House Now let us sit down on this I
log—by the forge,—on your shoe, tailor or |
carpenter’s bench ; let us lean on this hoe
handle, rest on this pick ax ; on this plow
beam, or wherever we are, and see what a
difference there is between the West and |
the East, and see if we owe the East our j
very blood, as it were.
When the late rebellion began, the West I
went into the war, fighting her real friends
to aid her real enemies. It was New
England intolerance, bigotryj abolition and
envy which brought the rebellion on us.
We were living in peace—prosperous and
happy. The South was driven to the wall
—the South rebelled—Western men sub
dued the rebellion —Western men who
loved the Union New England hated,
fought their best friends and proved the
supremacy of our flag.
The war is over. The armies are dis
banded, and still New England intoler
ance, vengeance and spite war upon sub
dued people, and upon the Constitution
she hates.
New England nabobs hold United States
bonds, by a New England controlled Con
gress exempt from taxation.
New Engl nd dares not have the South
hack in the Union, for the votes of that
section will justly be against her narrow
minded protective interests.
New England Abolitionists have set the
negro free, and make you and I not only
support the freedmen, hut the bond holder
who sits and receives his interest, the whole
exempt from taxation.
New England wants her manufacturing
interest protected. She wants the burden
of taxation to fall upon the consumers of
her industry, and to rise to power and
wealth on the labor of the poorer classes,
who in the thirty other States of the Union
purchase of her.
The East is built up. It is finished.
Her schools, roads, churches, jails, pris
ons, poor-houses, asylums, &c., are erected.
Much of the work is to be done yet in the
\V est. Where we in the West are at work,
Now England bond-holders are riding in
| their easy carriages, sitting in the shade,
reveling in wine dinners, sporting in creek
j and jungle, their wealth secured and in the
United States bonds, by a New England
controlled Congress exempted from taxa
tion. We have a countiy yet to improve.
We have roads, school-houses, asylums,
churches, towns and cities yet to build.
We have the negro, who once supported
himself, to support in idleness; and with
him the thieves and swindlers who are the
knobs to the negro bureau.
,Ve have the expenses of Government
to pay. We have the interest of the pub
lic debt to pay. We have millions of dol
lars a year to pay to the rich, lazy bond
holders who are by the Government pro
j tected in their laziness, while we are by
! the same Government ground still deeper
1 into the earth on account of our poverty.
Why this favoritism ? Is this the re
ward given the- West for forsaking her
business; for lighting her best friends ; for
! spilling rivers of blood ?
We did not restore the Union, for New
England says the Union is not restored.
We did not benefit the negro, for he is
worse off to-day under the drippings of
this New England mercy than under the
care of his former master.
We did not benefit ourselves by the war.
We did not soften the heart of the
South.
j Butwedid this, Western men. We made
fools of ourselves; we fought our best
; fri ends to help our worst enemies.
I We piled up mountains of debt, astride
of which sit thousands of New England
bond holders, and we have got to bend out
back to the lead, while they crack the
whip—the poor white trash of the tv est. .
May God in his goodness hasten the day
when the people will open their eyes and
look at the greatness of the misery in store ;
' for us as a nation, and give us men bold
' enough to lead the way to peace aud pros
perity.

Horzitz, 1 uly 4. 1866.—The battle be
gan just at eight o’clock, with the artillery
fire of the 3d Corps, as I arrived at Sado
wa. and took up my position upon a hill;
this corps was on my ri>:ht. The Horn
| Division (the Bth) crossed the Bristriz at
I Sadowa and attacked the wooded heights
I in front, but gained little ground owing to
! the obstinacy of the defense. The 7th Di
i vision (Franserky) extended itself upon the
| left with a similar undecided result. Her
| warth, advancing from Nechanitz, came
| after an hour and a half into the fight,
I which was constantly maintained by us for
' five hours, and consisted mainly in an ar
; tillery contest, intermixed with infantry
j attacks upon the wooded mountains. We
| awaited the arrival of the 2d Army with
j longing, for in this long artillery duel our
I batteries several times expended their re
| serve amunition.
The infantry contest vacillated backward
and forward.
At last wo discovered the first signs of
the approach of the Guards, but were un
able to see the attack which took place on
the other side of a hill, and we could only
guess at it from the enemy’s flank position.
Notwithstanding this, however, and in
spite of Herwarth’s gradual but very low
advance, the enemy still stood firm in the
center. The 9th Brigade (Scliimmelmann)
the body guard and the 48tli Regiment
were now pushed forward to support the
attack upon the center.
I rode through the regiments, which re
ceived me with loud cheers, while the bands
played “Heil Dir” (the Prussian national
hymn) in marching —a thrilling moment.
Suddenly the artillery fire in the center
slackened, and cavalry was asked for—a
proof that the enemy began to waver. I
now quitted my post, as victory began to
declare itself through the flank attack of
the 2d Army, and rode forward with the
cavalry. Here I first came upon the 2d
Guards Division and the Fusilier Guards
in full advance, tambour battant, with j
twelve just captured guns in the midst.
The enthusiasm that burst forth when
these troops saw me is indescribable. The '
officers rushed to kiss my hands, which 1
was this time obliged to allow, and so it !
went on, under fire certainly, but ever for
ward, and from one troop to another, eve
rywhere greeted by never ending hurrahs.
These are moments one must have lived to
through to understand, to comprehend.
In this way I met the troops of the Ist,
6th and sth Army Corps ; also an infantry
regiment; only the Bth Jager Battallion of
the Btli Corps, and the 17th Regiment of
the Bth ; the others were too far advanced
in pursuit of the enemy. Our cavalry now
hurst forward, and a murderous cavalry
engagement*took place right before my
eyes. The enemy was completely over
thrown, and the scene, which I rode over
directly afterward, presented a horrid
spectacle, strewn with cut down Austrians,
dead and alive. Thus the infantry again
advanded to the valley bordering on the
Elbe, when from the other bank ensued
very heavy grenade fire, under which I
came, but was withdrawn by Bismarck’s
serious remonstrances.
You may fancy how great w T as my ex
citement, and of the most various kind—
joy and sorrow. At eight o,clock I at
! last mot Fritz with liis staff. What a
moment, after all we had gone through,
and on the evening of such a day ! I gave
him the order Pour le Merite with my
own hands. The tears poured down liis
cheeks, for ho had not received my tele
gram granting the distinction —therefore is
a complete surprise.
Castles.
BY THOMAS BAILY ALDRICH.
There is a picture in my brain,
That only fades to come again,—
The sunlight, through a veil or rain
To iceward gliding:
A narrow stretch of brown sea-sand,
A lighthouse half a league from land,
And two young lovers, hand in hand,
A castle building.
Upon the budded apple trees,
The robins sing by twos and threes,
And ever at the faintest breeze
Down drops a blossom;
And ever would that lover he
The wind that robs the burgeon’d tree,
And lift the soft trees daintily
On Beauty’s bosom.
Ah! greybeard, what a happy thing
It was, when life was in its spring,
To peep through love’s betrothal ring
At Fields Elysian.
To move and breathe in magic, air,
To think thatall that seems is fair,
Ah, ripe young mouth and golden hair,
Thou pretty vision!
Well, well, I think not on these two
But the old wound breaks out anew,
And the old dream, as if ’twere true,
In my heart nestles;
Then tears came welling to my eyes,
For yonder, all in saintly guise,
As’t twere, a sweet dead woman lies
Upon the trestle.
The Macon papers complain of the extor
tion of landlords for rents.

I (From Rev. W. D. Seigfrfed, Pastor of Twelfth Baptist
i Church, Philadelphia.)
j Gentlemen: I have recently been laboring under the dis
! tressing effects of indigestion, accompanied by a prostration of
the nervous system. Numerous remedies were recommended •
! by friends, and some of them tested, hut without relief. Your
lloofiaiid'.- German Bitters were recommended bv persons vho
had tried them, and whose favorable mention of these Hitters
! induced me to try them. I must confess that I had an aversion
to Patent Medicines from the “thousand and one” quack
Hitters whose only aim seems to be to palm off sweetened and
drugged liquor upon the community in a sly way, and the ten
dency of which, I fear, is to make many a confirm—*, drunkard.
Upon learning that yours was really a medicinal preparation,
I took it with liappy effect. Its action, not only upon the
stomach, but upon the nervous system, was prompt and grati
fying. I feel that I have th rived great and permanent benefit
ffrom the use of a few bottles.
Very respectfully yours, VT. D. SeiofbibT'.
No. 254 Shackam&xon street.
A
F)ora the Rev. E. Dr. Fendall, Assirtapt EditorJCliristia
Chronicle, Philadelphia.)
I have derived decided benefits from the use of Hooflaud's
German Hitters, and feel it my privilege to recommend t!:< m as
am<*st valuable tonic to all who aresuff'-ring frdm a general
debility, or from diseases arising from derangements of the
liver.' Yours truly, E. I*. Fjkndall.
(From'Rev. D. Merrige, Pastor of the Passyunk Baptist
C hurch, Philadelphia.;
From the many respectable recommendations given to Dr.
Hooflaud’s German Hitters. I was induced to give them atrial.
After using several bottles I found them to be a good remedy
1 for debility, and a most excellent tonic for the stomach.
D. Mxrkige.
j (From Rev. William Smith, formerly Pastor of the Vincen
town and Milvilie (N. J.) Baptist Churches.;
Having ust-d in my family a number of bottles of your Hoof
j land’s German Hitters. I have to say that I regard them as an
. excellent medicine, specially adapted to remove the diseases
: they are recommenced for. They strengthen and invgorate
the system when debilitated, and are useful in disorder« of the
| liveri loss cf appetite, etc. i have also recommended them to
! several of my friends, who have tried them, and found them
greatly benefidal in the restoration of health.
Yours truly, Wm. Hmitii.

(From the Rev. Joseph 11. Kennard, Pastor of the Tenth Bap- :
tist Church.;
I have been frequently requested to connect my name with
i commendations or different kinds of medicines, but regarding
the practice as out of my appropriate sphere. 1 have in all cases
i declined: but with a clear proofin various instance*, and par
ticularly in my own family, of the usefulness of Dr. Hooflaud’s
, German Bitters, I depart for once from my usual course, to ex
press my full conviction that, for general debility of the system
and especially for liver complaint, itis a safe and valuable pre
paration. In some cases it may fail, but usually, I doubt not
it will be very beneficial to those who suffer from the above
i causes.
Yours, very respectfully, J. 11. Kejtkaud,
