Corn pro mising. ; Grass abundant. , Ohio.— Tho. wheat crop will full but little below an avqyage in quantity and quality.— Oats and barley will fall off considerably.;— Corn will yield an average, should the season prove favorable. Georgia.— Corn and potatoes promise an immense yield. So also throughout the south west. Cotton crop is also fine. Alabama. —The prospects indicate as fine a cotton and corn crop as any ever made in the Stale. . , • Arkansas. —For corn, tobacco, wheat aiid oats tho pruspccts arc tolerably good. Texas.— -Wheat good. Corn more than'an average. Cotton a largo crop. New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Pennslvania, all promise a full aver age crop of wheat. Grassan immense yield, and potatoes and corn very pomising. Wisconsin.— Tho wheat crop'will fall below an average, so also in many portions of Virgin ia and (Maryland. The sugar and cotton crop in the South promises a largo yield. Extravagance of the Administration'.— Tho.Baltimorc Republican says that any charge of prodigality or extravagance against that part of the Government is notoriously unjust, and it requires a vast amount of impudence or igno rance to utter such a charge., ■ Drowning men will catoli at straws, and the desperate and sinking leaders and hangers-on of Know.-Noth ingism and- Black Republicanism are silly enough to think they can humbug the people by this cuckoo cry. It won’t do. The people are 100 well informed to be be cheated by such idle clamor. .The. records of .Congress are ac cessible to all, and they will show that these very clamors about extravagance are the guilty parties—that.the-Abolition and Know Nothing members of Congress voted for the extravagant expenditures and doubled their oten 'pay and perquisites, and thus impoverished the treasu- . ry, which they now,.desire to charge upon, the Administration. We arc,glad that this cry has been started, for, the records will prove that the Administration is free from blame, and that the charge rests exclusively against the legisla tive branch of the Government. • , '26 votes. 6 “ 5 « 3 “.

The Supreme Court of California had decided that the SuncCay law was unconstitutional, and all prosecutions', un der it had been abandoned. The effect of the news from Frazer river upon business at San Francisco had been to make all branches of trade and industry lively. The news from Oregon is very important.— The Tnd ans were.collecting-in large numbers, and there was much alarm throughout life set- tlcmeuts. Tho Commander of the Pacific di vision of our army was very active, but he was without troops or equipments (or. the war.
