They have all boon harvested, with tbo exception of corn and buckwheat; the latter, however, l fear, has been somewhat injured by the heavy froata which wo bad for three or four nights last week. Tho corn in soma places wit! probably be not quite so good as it would havo bean had the crops kopt off for a eouplo of weeks longer. Tfco sugar corn has ripened, and been very sweet and fino. Some of tho vinos, (uoh as melons and cau* tolopes, have boen badly bitton by it; potatoes be ing too far advanced, will not suffer very materi ally. Tho weather has again moderated, and such plants as have sustained no great injury from tho cold will probably revive under the genial warmth of tho sun. With aa abundunco of provisions and grain, provisions are low. Choice boef is retailing at [ about six couta a pound, and I will hero remark that it is inferior to no meat in the Eastern mar. kotg. Tho cattlo fatten up rapidly during the spring and summer, on tho prairie grass, which Is very nutritious, ond well adapted for that purpose. There is uo doubt in my mind but that this is one of the States in tho Union, and some day will bo valued ’more on that account. Oats are selling from twenty to twenty-five cents & bushel, corn at thirty, wheat at sixty, potatoes twenty-five; flour is worth from §5 to §5.50 per barrel. Our farmer* aro begluning to make some stir about woo! growing; thoy think that raising sheep will probably be tho most profitable business thoy can engage in, and that tho wool will bo of a very fino texture, and command a good price in your Eastern markets.

Raising sweet potatoes has been experimented on .this summer, and I am glad to bo uhle to say with success. A Mr. Rrittan, who reside* opposite the town on the other sido of tho river, has raised this season, I am informed, two hundred bushels of theta, which are said to be very fino. Thcso arc tho first that I remember to havo boon grown in tbo county. No doubt but that his success will induco others to try their luc-k next year. The (act hav ing been satisfactorily established, that tho climato hero is not too cold for the miring of grain, vegeta bles, tto., and also that rich lands can bo purchasod from two dollars and upwards per acre, will uo doubt bo tho means of encouraging many to dis pose of what little proporty they may have accu mulated iu tho older States, ami identifying their interests with ours. 1 would advise farmers who are thus disposed to cotuo along whilst the State is comparatively now, and tho prices of lands low.

The good people of Brooklyn, remariuble alike for their piety and fooducw for athletic sport*, have at length plucked up courage about their Opera House, which for some months post baa been In a comatose state, and determined to raise the ad ditional ?SD,OOO required to complete their Acade my. A meeting for that purpose wa* held last evening, at which Senator Sloan, president of the Hudson Hirer Railroad Company, presided. About $lO,OOO was subscribed on the spot by twelve indi viduals, and assurance was given that the remain der would be made up without difficulty. In ad dition to the auditorium and stage required for the purposes of the opera, the plan of the building embraces a large lecture room, which will, of itself, probably bring on income sufficient to pay the stockholders a handsome dividend on tceir invest -1 mem. The men who have the matter in charge are among the most wealthy and public-spirited in the city. The performances at tho recent Democratic State Convention at Syracuse are exciting ranch merri ment. Thoro was considerable of the Little P@d- Hngtod mixed up with the graver basin ess of the Convention.

Tho movement in regard to the restoration of Bishop Ondcrdonk, is in such hands, and has reached that point, that Tender* its successful con summation almost beyond peradventure. Madftino Anna who has been singing with su;h success at Palace Gardens, is a remark able woman, not only in reference to her art, but also to her Ilfs and the stock of intelligence she had occasion to gather. But, perhaps, the most remarkable feature in her is her present personal appearance. She looks like a lady of thirty-two, ; and yet twenty years ago she sang In a concert in Loudon with Griai, VianJot, Garcia, Pewiani, Ru bini, Tamburini, and Lablacbe—that I* to say, with tho greatest ringers who ever live 1, and was favorably received by the public. Since then she basseen tho world, andgonethrough a very event ful career, but always living for her art, and im proving it. Her method is excellent, her execu tion the same. She is at home in all styles, and give* to each its due. As a true artist, she knows just how far she can go, and she invariably re mains within the boundaries of her powers ller voice is, of course, neither fresh nor powerful, but it still agreeable and pleasing.

Immediately a court-martial wasformed, consisting of two vigilant* from each company, to whom the question was submitted whether the pri soners. notorious evil-doers, should suffer death or bo paddled. By a majority of two, it was decided to inflict tho paddle punishment, and 3,600 blows were equally administered. One fellow committed suicide, by shooting himself, to avoid the paddle. Subsequently, five other* of the gang were found dead, irom gun shot wounds.
