THE CROPS.—As confirming our previously t
expressed, and to a considerable extent pres
ent opinion in the matter, wo copy the ap
pended remarks of the Cincinnati Price Cur
rent:
The advices regarding the growing wheat
crop we have had since our last leave no
doubt that the prospects for a most abundant
crop, should the remainder of the season prove
favorable, were never more flattering. In [
most cases, where the winter wheat was sup
posed to have been killed by the frosts of
March and April, it is now growing up from
the roots, showing that though the blades
perished the roots were safe.
The wheat crop in Kentucky is reported,
since the weather became warmer, exceeding
ly promising; and fields previously regarded
hopeless now promise an abundant yield.
From the South the news i? also more fa
vorable :
On both shores of the Potomac, near its
mouth, the grain crops are locking well, al
though backward for the season. T ho plant
ers of St. Mary's and Charles counties, Mary
land, anticipate nearly an average crop. On
the Virginia shore the wheat looks quite
healthy, although not generally in as forward
a suite as upon the Maryland side.
In thi region, a number of fields look bad
at pre-ent, while others present a green and
healthy appearance.
KVII. TIMES.
1 he high prices of the necessaries of lifi-,
such as we are now experiencing, which fall
with peculiar hardship upon the poor and
middle cla-ses, is a subject that must ulti
mately engage public attention, for it is al j
ready making deep inroads into the p>urse of i
many a one who had laid by a small sum
from his hard earnings, perhaps with the hope
of some day investing it in a little property
he might call his own. Flour is selling at
$4 2o per hundred, meat at -al2# cts. per !
pound, molasses at 2ua27 per quart, sugar at
ldalii per pound, an 1 many other articles at
nue time luxuries, but now necessaries, in
proportion, so that the question may well be •
asked whether we have not fallen up on evil
times? Were there any substantia! reasons
for this state of things, it could be borne
without a murmur, but there are none. There
is no famine, creating a demand for bread
fclufla; save in Louisiana, there has been no
failure of sugar crops; both beef and pork are
plenty, yet there is an upward tendency of
almost everything except labor. Now why is
this so? In our opinion it betrays an unheal
thy state of society which must some day
bring about a fearful revulsion. Speculators
iu fact rule everything by a species of gam
bling worse than all the card playing ever
practiced, for by forming extensive combina
tions, they rai:-e or lower the priceg of almost
everything at pleasure—one day thereby in
juring the producer, and the next the consu
mer. in addition, this speculating fever i.s
extending to individuals, many of whom, in
stead of paying their just debts, make in vest
ments abroad by using the very moDey that
ought to be retained and paid out at home.
These things Lode no good, and we fear before
three more years elapse, many who have
aided in producing them will exclaim that we
have fallen upon evil times.
%_A friend of Rev. John A. Collins de
sires us to say that we did him injustice in
calling him the advocate of slavery, and states
that at the last conference he said, "Mr. Pres
ident, I have always hated slavery and on
"all occasions raised my voice against it. J
"go for the discipline of my church, which
"opposes pro-slaveryism on one hand, and
"ultra-abolitionism on the other." We knew
i h '-hing of Mr. C'a. private sentiments, hut
f jrmr'l our f pinion of his position on the
strength <f ' patent democratic newspaper"
publications, which on several occasions of
la.. yi.ar- L- him up, and so far as we
know without comradiction, as the "giant
mind ' that arrayed itself against republican
isip, whic.t, in southern parlance and truth
telung democratic newspapers, is the same as
abolUwnum. If our friend will turn to the
Lewistown frue Democrat of April 16 and
examine Mr. C.'s name in connection whh
two resolutions said in that paper to have
passed by the Baltimore Conference, he
will readily perceive that we had some grounds
for our belief without referring to antecedent
matters. Thus much in explanation, and we
will add that we have a higher opinion of Mr.
C. with his views as expressed above, than
wo bad before.
SP*L.The section giving the .Sunbury and
Erie Railroad three millions out of the pro

T* Philadelphia Election. —Below we give
the returns of the municipal election held in
Philadelphia on Tue-day last, which foot up
American, 19,521; Democrat, 28' fib ; Repul- i
lican, 4,544. Each party it will he perceived
had their candidates in the field, and owing
to the ill feeling existing between the Repal>
beans and Americans, Eocofoceism ha= again
triumphed. How our Republican friends can
expect to elect David Wilmot with thee fig
ures staring them in the face we are unable
to tell. Is it supposed by any sane mind,
that after this manifestation of feeling on the
part of the Republicans of Philadelphia, that
a union of the two parties can be effected up
on David Wilmot, in that city t Politicians,
as a general thing, do not carry out the scrip
tural injunction, "do well to those who de
spiteful'y use you," but are apt to retaliate
upon those that " evil treat them."
The above is copied from the Aurora to
show the feelings kept alive by the Straight
Americans, notwithstanding the fact that the
Union ticket has upon it two. if not three, as
good "Americans" as are in the State. What
their object is in opposing this ticket, fairly
nominated, remains to Le seen—for while no
one will pretend to say that Mr. Wilmot can
be elected with a third candidate in the field,
we suppose none but a thrice-bailed fool would
for a moment entertain the idea that an ex
clusive American ticket could be elected with
out the aid of the Republicans. To show
hew unreasonable and selfish the straightout
Americans are in the position they occupy,
let us look at a few figures as developed at
the election last fall.
The Fremont vote was 147,000
Fillmore Fusion 56,000
" straightout 26,000
Republican majority, 65,000
From this it appears that although the Re
publicans outnumber the Americans nearly
two to one, the latter—or pernaps mora prop
erly a portion of the latter, just sufficient in
number to decide an election—are not willing
to yield to a union movement unless the 147,-
000 Republicans and nine-tenths of the 56,000
Fillmore fusionUts consent to suffer the 20,000
straightouts to dictate who shall be the nom
inees and the principles they boil. This is
the true position of the political field, and is
another illustration of that "dog in the man
ger" policy which elected Polk over Clav,
Pierce over Scott, and will elect Packer Gov
ernor unless wiser counsels prevail.
The election spoken of above was no tet
at all of strength, except with those who were
bound to vote, and that the Republicans did
not unite with the straightout> there, can bo
a matter of no surprise to those familiar with
the men nominated for the petty offices at
stake. From the nomination of Mr. Wilmot
to the present day, the organ of the straight
out leaders (the Daily News,) has been fur
nishing articles against Mr. Wilmot, adapted
| for republication in the lucofoco papers, in
which Mr. \\ ilmot and the Republicans were
I denounced in the choicest teims, just as the
fusion last fall, although it required no sacri
• fice of principle whatever on the part of
Americans, was then denounced. Had the
; ceufee of these self-constituted leaders been
different, there would probably have been a
different result in the election.
For our part we shall await further devel
opments, and if the political horizon will
show two opposition candidates in the field, we
shall have no hesitation in withdrawing from
such a contest—having no desire to make a
fool of ourself or our readers.

MURDER OF ROBERT WEBB. —The painful
intelligence was received by telegraph a few
days ago, that HUBERT, a son of Martin Webb,
deceased, had been brutally murdered on
Wednesday evening ef last week in St. Louis,
and a slip from a newspaper forwarded by
John A. Sterett, Esq., wh was in the city at
the time, confirmed the news in its worst form
Mr. Webb was an apprentice in the Democrat
office some years ago,, subsequently w ,rkc-d
in Lewisburg, Union county, and when con
signed to an early grave by a band of lawless
ruffians, was on his way to the far west to
establish a newspaper. Young Webb was
about 22 years of age, and during the past
few years had given promise of becoming an
industrious and useful citizen.
(From the St. Louis Republican, of >la> 15:b.)
List night, (Wednesday, 13th,) two men,
frightfully bruised, were brought into the po
lice office, about two o'clock, hating been
found lying in a stone quarry, near Belcher's
Sugar Refinery, by a person, who, hearing
cries of distress, went into the quarry and
found the men. When brought to the office,
one of the men was insensible, ljis head
was severely cut behind the ear, his skull
fractured, and his nose broken.
The otiicr was externally, very much bruis
ed—his eye swollen and lacerated, one of his
arms broken, and one of his knees deeply
. jut. The latter, although to all appearance
more seriously hurt than bis companion, was
perfectly sensible, arid able to give the partic
ulars of the occurrence which preceded their
falling into the quarry. 11c stated that fai
name was 11. K. Eaton, and the name of his
com pan i n Robert Webb : that lie 13 from
Iloliidavsbnrg, Pennsylvania, and Webb from
L wistown, in the same State; that they were
on their way to Kuri.-as. and that Webb had
on board the steamer Rocket, on which they
] expected t > leave for their piac : of destination,
materials for a printing office, which he in
tended to commence in Kansas. Being out
late last night, for the purpose of having a
complimentary card inserted in the Republi
can, and not being familiar with the city, thev
lost their way while proceeding to the boat", 1
and wandered some di-tancc up Main stree'.
During their absence from the boat she had
ieft the landing where she first arrived, and
had dropped down to another position.
B ir.g at a loss in what direction they
should proceed, tiiey concluded to make en
quiry, and observing 3 light in a drinking
bouse, they entered and endeavorc-d to obtain
the information they desired. Upon this two
men stepped up and offered to show them the !
boat; but just as they were all abont to depart
one of the men who had made the offer, sug
gested that Mr. Webb sh.uld treat before
they started. Mr. Webb complied and the
party left.
Mr. Eaton was unable to state positively j
whether they ail went up or down street, but
thinks it was up. When they had gone sev
eral squares, they were met by another man, !
who, addressing Webb, demanded his money.
Webb immediately placed himself in an atti- j
tude of defence, but was suddenly struck by
the new comer with some heavy substance,
and knocked over into what proved a stone
quarry, near Belcher's Sugar Refinery.
Eaton was then either struek or pushed
over after his companion; but was unable,
from tho confusion that prevailed at the time,
to state positively which. Before reaching
the bottom he lost his consciousness, which
he regained some time after Ms fall, and on
giving the alarm was discovered by the watch
man of the steamer Allegheny, who removed
them from the quarry to the police office.
He says that during the scuffle he heard
one of the men address the other as George,
and thinks he heard the name of Evans ap
plied to one of them. He is disposed to be
lieve that persons were approaching at the
time of the occurrence, which may account
for their assailants failing to take the money
and watches that were still on their persons
when they were brought to the police office.
Dr. Shore, who happened to be in the
neighborhood of the police office when the
wounded men arrived there, promptly render
ed them every service that his skill could sug
gest; arid after dressing the wounds of Eaten,
and finding it impossible to do anything for
Webb, ho had them both removed "to the Sis
ters' Hospital, where Webb died yesterday
morning.
Eaton, at the last accounts, was in a very
critical condition, with some mental confu
sion and much pain. His brother is a com
positor in this office.
I he Coroner commenced an inquest on the
body of Mr. 1\ ebb yesterday morning, and
received the testimony of Mr. Eaton; but the
latter suffering considerably from his wounds,
the investigation was deferred till Eaton shall
bo in a condition to undergo further exami
nation.
We have not heard whether any clue has
been obtained for tho discovery of the villains
who perpetrated the murder, but hopo our
police will be able to ferret them out, and
bring them to justice.
asr We are indebted to our old friend
Samuel Hopper, Esq., for a file of California
papers.
LiQroß SELLING. —The number of drunken
men reeling about the streets on Saturday
laet, and the rowdyism exhibited by a few
blackguards at the circus in the evening, show
that there is a lamentable disregard of law
by some authorized to sell liquors in this
place—a disregard that ought to call forth a
determined effort on the part of well-disposed
citizens to ferret them out, and if possible
bring them to punishment. The evil is un
doubtedly growing, and if tolerated much
longer will result in a worse state of affairs
than has yet existed.
llocs AT LARGE.—Arrangements have bean
male bv the Town Council, by which the or
dinances relative to swine will be enforced

ing these animals to run at large annoying
their neighbors and others, will do well to
