JY$ UV Jorell'a "Email de Parts," for Enamelling This secret of enamelling the skin being only known to Jules Jared. he honorably states that it differs from all other preparations, being scientifically composed from plants and harmless gums, which produce the most brilliant complexion, and give a 8011, even texture to the skin, like that of an infant. L'Email do Paris cleanses the pores from those nn sightly black worm specks and .small particles which give coarseness to the complexion, and by cleansing Produces a healthfrd glow.. It enlaces. after a few weeks, most happily, all scare,- and is especially successful in eradicating the marks loft by small-pox. "L'Email de Paria'' is endorsed by 14Plie Vestvall, Mrs. Waller, and many other ladies in private life, whose commendatory letters cannot -be • published for obvious reasons. Jules Jared's "Email do Paris" is not a paint, not a powder, not at paste, but a most delicate preparation that gives both the complexion and texture of polished ivory to the skin. Ladies sojourning in the country, or at the watering places, will find the "Email de Paris" invaluable for ropey* discolorntioni caused by sun burn or salt air.

Under a spontaneous call Issued by the Union League, a body of patriotic gentlemen who, though entertaining different political views lu time of peace, are united in feeling now in the hour of dan ger to our country, a 'largo meeting was held at noon yesterday in Independence Square. Early in the 'morning a four-horse omnibus with a band of musicians, appeared upon the streets, urging the men to form at once the sth Regiment of National Guards. The music had Its pleasant attractions, and drew attention to the emergency. At twelve arclock a number of members of the Union League, with banners p esing and drums beating; started from the League House and proceeded to Inde pendence Square. - Aliplicatiort was made by a committee to his Honor Mayor Henry to have the main bell at the State Houserung for a short time, The request was compli ed with. Mr. Rick] ey, the ringer, performed the work in his best style. In a short time the people came to the centre of attraction and congregated within the square., The meeting may be considered spon taneous. There was no time to erect a stand; in deed, such an institution was not at all necessary. The meeting was improvised in accordance with the principles of democracy. A Committee of the mem. hers of the League brought a table which they placed on the main stenstone, in front of the rear of the great and sacred Hall of Independence. At twenty minutes past twelve o'clock, the-last sounds of the big bell having ceased vibrating on the hot air, while, the mass of humanity in the square ,were sweltering under the vertical power of a sun worthy of the tropics, the meeting was Organized by calling the Hon. John Knox, Judge of the Su preme Court, to the chair, awl the band played .a tuvorite air. In assuming the responsibilities of presiding offi cer of such a meeting, the Judge said that this was a spontaneous gathering of the people, without any preparation having beau made, as is Wing in the tortnation of public meetings. We have assembled hero to take some action, to confer with each other on measures to defend our country and our Govern ment, and, by so •doing, defend ourselves in the emergency 'that has arisen. [Applause.] It is known to all that a great body of the natiopal forces are now with Lieutenant General Grant [eheers for Gcn. Grant] before Petersburg and Richmond. It Is also known that the rebels have marched a large body of men in the Shenandoah Valley; they have crossed the Potomac, invaded Maryland, and defeat ed Gen. Wallace and five thousand men. These rebels have seriously injured the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road, the Northern Central Railroad, the Philadel phia,Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad; they hare captured two trains of cars and robbed the passen gers of their valuables and clothing; they have burned down 'dwellings of your follow-citizens of lidaryland, have marauder' parts of that State, and committed wholesale robberies and ether outrages, and they now threaten the road between Baltimore and Washington. Of the extent of this force of ma rauders, we have no informationa. e hAt o paether e it r kg.. great or small the ex am I -'.. nir= ~ ;as r lon—[outburstof ap- Mii—to compel themtb hastily retreat or destroy them entirely.. [Groat applause.] All this and more can be done without at all interfering with General Grant, who is now nobly . and effeetively thundering et the gateways of Richmond. [Renewed applause, and cheers for Gen. Grant.] The main object of the rebel commander is to com pel General Grant, who has concentrated his forces In front of their stronghold, to send some part of Ws army to meet the Maryland invaders. The invasion is evidence of the desperation of the rebels. They know that if General Grant remains where he is the city of Richmond must tall. [Great cheering.] The army of Lee will be destroyed, captured, or scattered, and thus - will take place the downfall of the rebellion. [Renewed applause.] - Now, in this emergency we have a very plain duty to perform— we must protect ourselves. [Applause.] It is to provide the necessary measures for-our protection, that we have assembled on a hasty notice, without the formality generally attend' ng such public proceedings.. We uro here for a common purpose, the cause of our country and freedom of human rights. [Great applause.] We are not alarmed, we are not panic-stricken; but we are together with a firmness of purpose toloin and be armed in the holy cause of a united Government to drive back invaders and to crush out the rebellion. In con clusion, the honorable president introduced the Rev. Thos. Brainerd, who made an appropriate prayer. The band now played a national tune, allot : which the . Min. William D. Kelley was introduced. The up plause with which Mr. Kelley was greeted hating subsided, he said that we had assembled upon the spot where the Declanition of Independence was read, to again pledge ourselves to what our sires pledged themselves, to • establish and maintain a tree Government of the people. When they pledged themselves to effect an object by establishing prin ciples unknown in the world, they had before them war which to them might have been an endless ono. We have met to maintain and perfect the work they laid out for the government of the whole land, and any man who is desponding or who is afraid, let him hie to his house and hide himself under the bed-clothes of his family. [Applause.] All is not lost that is in danger. [Applause.] The hour before daybreak is always the darkest. [Re newed applause.] he had seen strong men In agony on the tented fields or the hospitals ;he had seen them again when it required many men to hold tittle. He used this figure In regard to the rebellion ; it now withers in the agony of its own despair. [Ap plause.) The keys of Richmond are now In the hands of Unconditional Surrender Grant. [Great applause.] Have you read the story of the gallant Wilson's raid 'I Brave men by day and night, in the enemy's country, cutting the. roadways of the • rebels in such an. effective style, that with all the resources of the North they could not renew them for a month. [Applause.) These brave men tra versed the country, rode and fought until their na ture was so much exhausted that sleep overcame them while In their saddles, and they were only awakened In the skirmish line of battle by - the click of their own triggers. What they did, we can do. [Great applause.] We should at once respond to the call of the county; for three years, for two years, for one year, or for thelemorgeney. Yes, my dark skinned itiond—(here the speaker looked steadily ate stalwart specimen of an American, of African de scent)—the country will take you, as the prejudice against your color has been overcome. The country will take any one with loyal hearts, who is willing to pierce a traitor's heart with loyal bayonets. [Tremendous applause.) Ohio has tent forward over 45,000 one-hundreit-days' mon. Now, if the. Buckeye State call so respond, why should not Penutylvanirt, the old Keystone 1 The country will take you all, will furnish. you the means of transpor tation, will provision you, and give you ammuni tion. [Applause.) The capital of your country is said to be endangered ; will you go to its defence for one, two, or three years? If any of you cannot go for that length of time, the country will takq you for cue hundred days, or the emergency. "Ap plause.] Come for a hundred days. [More applause.] Come In a column large enough to drive the marau ders for ono humbler: days, and the country will not want you for three years. Give the country men enough to put a column in Shepanduali Valley ; this will add strength to Gen. Grant at Petersburg, and allow another circuit to be made and eut.moro roads than ever. Do this, and the present three years men will come back In loss than a year. lie had heard some men talk in a spirit of fault-finding • with Gen. Grant; these men, oh, yes, of course they are fitter for his office than that great General, but the Country 'doesn't know it. [Laughter and ap plause.] 'Judge Kelley now.proceeded to state that when he sat in his little office, or on the bench, he did some things that, perhaps, with more experi ence, he would have done differently!. And he was, therefore, Inclined to find fault with no officer of the, Administration or any general in the army. What ever may be said about this general or that general, If you want to know the state of things as they exist now In Comparison to that of a year or two ago, read the London Times. That paper for three years has been sneering at the American army and our Government, but now they "confess the corn," but have not yet acknowledged "the cake." He did not, feel that lie could find fault with any gene ral or member of the Cabinet or the President. If there Is any blame, let it be placed upon the shoul ders of the Americau Congress. General Grant called for more soldiers, General Sherman wanted more soldiers, and a bill was framed to meet Moir views, but Its passage was delayed from time to time, and it did not pass until the last week that Congress was In session. The Copperheads la Congress resisted this very bill step 'by stop, the same as the rebels In arms have resisted our army. In regard to the bill with the three hundred-dollar exemption clause, that was so much objected to by certain parties and newspapers, when the bill was first passed; he would say that the exemp tion. was stricken out. It was ascertained that under that clause English and French gold was sent to this country, the base of supplies being Southern cotton, and the fund so raised was used in payment for any Copperhead who might be drafted. Copper heads, who had not enough money to pay for getting .a pair of shoes half soled, paid their 000 commuta tion, and thus evaded the service of the country. When the bill came up, this clause was used as a pretext for arraying the poor against the rluh,and was moved to bo stricken out.' The attempt was resist ed, inch by Inch; pretexts and:subterfuges wore re sorted to to prevent the motion being adopted. The record of votes on this Important question may be found in the offteial journals. At the first meetiog held in.Phlladelphla to Sus tain the Union, he (the speaker) said that. lie then pledged himself that he would as a member of Congress, vote 'the last dollar In the locker and the last son from the family fireside] in maintenance of the country. Ile remembered that pledge, and, therefore, voted to strike oat the throe-hundred-dol lar exemption clause. Men on that floor who re presented a loyal constituency, voted against that motion, and thus defeated the whole bill until the last week of the, session. • lie was glad to any that, his colleagues representing the Second, Third, and Firth Districts Voted for their country every pop. [Loud applause.] Now what Is to be' done? what have you to do? Organize companies,' battalions, regiments.' He - oared not how strong the robot la COITNTZILVEIT— the Skin.

We are not colyards. [Cheers.) They who are worthy to be called the sods or the sires of seventy-six should hoop their name untarnished, and let the word go to-night to President Lincoln that we taro ready with an army large enough to hold the valley of the Shenandoah, and to drive the marauders from this side or the capital. [Groat applause.] But the capital is safe, as around it are a series of fortifica tions exceeding in grandeur the famous earthworks of Toddleben, that held England, France, and Sar dinia at bay for, years. The most we have to fear is, that our own homes may become tarnished. But it is unnecessary to say more to urge the people to do their duty.- Mr. Frederick Fraley next addressed the meeting, and spoke ns follervs: SPY:ECU O 1 FRIMRICK P 1 ALBS", V:S4) Mr.Fraley said : I came here today, not with any intention of making a speech, but to listen to what others inight have to say, and to unite, as far as possible, in any measures that might be required for the salvation of our glorious country. I cannot doubt that the requisite number of men from Phila delphia will be raised. There is no fear for the lie public if the citizens of the Republic will only do their duty as their fathers did. Let us resolve that we will lay our lives, our fortnnes and Our-sfiCred honor ..again upon its altars, as Choy did in 1776, upon this sacred spot; and the rebellion will speedily be crushed.

Colonel Montgomery of Vicksbing,,belng loudly called for, then took the stand, and made is short but exceedingly patriotic and witty speech. He be lieved that, if a handful of horse-thieves were per mitted to capture Washington, the story of one rebel being equal to ten Yankees was true. Ile closed by moving that the crowd resolve itself into a sanitary commission for the purpose or cleansing W ash ington of the rebels. • [Laughter and applause.] Judge Shannon,. of Pittsburg,. was then intro duced, amid great applause.

He made ft stirring appeal to those pre sent to be up and at work, and not wait till the danger is more apparent. His remarks were very patriotic, and he was every moment greeted, with applause.

A large meeting of the citizens of Camden, New Jersey, was held last night at the County Court house in that town.

The speeches were short, and the practical effect of the meeting was shown in the large number of names subscribed to the enlistment rolls. Mr. George S. WOodhall presided, and Mr. Sinnickson °brew acted as secretary. The chair man maden brief address, after which Mr. A. G. Cattell was introduced, being received with great Mr. Cattail said that he had now felt the force of the saying that the time for action, and not words, had arrived. The question with every one should be, What can he do to repel the rebelinvadersl It could not be disguised that the present danger was great and imminent. How many loyal men were there in Oamden to avert the danger? The solution of that question was all-important to the honor of the people of New Jersey. This was no time to be frightened. The speaker was as confident that this rebellion would be final's , crushed as that to-morrow's sun would rise in the east. [tip lame.] He was equally sure that New Jersey would In no contingency prove faithless to the Union. The Invasion of the rebels was but an exhibition of des peration on the part of the rebels. It only required combined movement on the part of the loyal pee. pie to counteract this last anon of the rebellion. This country was worth fighting and dying for. He would therefore appeal to his fellow-citizens to come forward now in greater numbers than be fore for the defence .of the country and its institutions. He _appealed to those who . , cannot go, to pledgethernselves to support the fa.milf‘s - bf iho brave young fellows who would go to the field. The speaker related an instance of Oamden loyalty, in the case of an old gentleman who promised to take the place .of a letter carrier, and pay toile family of that person, if he went to the war, all the money be might make in his civil position. •.

The Rebel Insnsion—Militnry_Prena>•s --t • gatlv Are Arl t, • The peopleof this State seem to be fully aroused to the real importance of what was, a few days ago, considered nothing more than a raid of horse thieves. Our exchanges g from all the large cities and towns tell us of the rapid formation of militia regiments for 100 days' service. New York city also is bestirring herself, and already several of her ro. giments are en route for "the front." The following items are furnished by the New York dailies of yes terday : I=! DEPARTUFF. OF MAFINES.—During yesterday and Sunday the excitement was great, and a large num ber of one-hundred-day s' men were enrolled for the emergency. On Sunday night some hundreds of sailors (the exact number is not stated) wore taken from chore. ceiving•ship North Carolina, and sent to Baltimore. They were all experienced naval artillerists, of in estim?thie value in their branch of the service to tho defence of the city. The sailors went off gleefully and joyfully. Since their departure the nary yard lies been a centre of . great interest. There can be little doubt that the marine barracks of New York, Boston, Portsmouth, N. H., and this city win he at once drained of all their available men to swell the advancing oolumns of our militia. The headquarters of the Marine Corps, as is generally known, is at the National Capital ; and, between the nary yard and the garrison, quite a respectable force could tai mustered tor defensive purposes at Washington or elsewhere. MILITIA REGIMENTS TO MAROEL—Eight regi ments are ready to move, the Bth, 11th, 84th, 91d, 95:11, 90th, rind . 99tl7. Tin; MAYOR OP NEW Your APPREHENSIVE OP Tenn:mg.—The reduction of the militia force of the city is looked upon by Mayor Gunther with alarm. lie protests against any considerable drafts of the militia to stem the tide of the invasion, assigning his reasons for the protest in the following letter to Major. General Sandford : MAYOR'S OFFICE, New YORK , July 11, 1804. Major General Charles W. Sandford: Sin: In these times of general and local peril, en lightened self-interest is emphatically the synonym of patriotism. The paramount duty of all those in authority, whether civil or military, Is to carefully guard the lives and property of their own fellow citizens. Here in New York, the great centre of commerce and wealth, it is a consideration of the tirst importance, not only to ourselves but to the general public weal, that we should not, brany ac tion of our own, place these great interests injeo partly by withdrawing our legitimate military pro tection. This protection, in case of riot. or popular out break, is especially reposed in our organized city regiments. I entertain grave .apprehensions that• their withdrawal from the city at a time whon the depreciation of our currency is bearing heavily on the mess of our population might tempt the lawless and evil-disposed to avail themselves Of what would seem to them a favorable opportunity for arson and plander. In such an event, which, In my judgment, I regret to say may not be considered Improbable, I fear that our excellent and powerful police would prove inadequate to our protection In tho absence of the military.' 1, therefore, most earnestly protest against any material reduction, at this period, of 'our organized and uniformed military force, especially when ample supplies of troops can ho furnished to meet any emergancy from points where no danger can be apprehended of the character above allutied to, and to which the city of New York, is so peculiarly ex posed. have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, 0. GODFREY GONTFIER. To this letter GenerallSandford has sent the lot lowing reply: FIRST DiVISION N. Y. S. N. GuARD, Num Your., July 19, 1854. lion. C. Godfrey Gun ther, Mayor of the City of New York: . . Sin: Although I cannot concur In your definition of patriotism, I fully agree with you in the necessity of retaining an organized and disciplined militia force in oar city, sufficiently strong to suppress any attempt of the lawless and evil-disposed members of the community to renew the scones of arson and plunder which disgraced our city last summer, du ring the absence of the city regiments. In answer to the present call of the President upon the Governor of the State, only thirty-five hundred men have been detailed from this division us our quota of the-twelve thousand required ; and after this detaclunent is withdrawn, I shall still re la In twelve of the disciplined regiments of the let Division in the city, ready, willing, and abundantly able to put . down promptly an demonstration against the peace and good order of the community. 1 regret that after the explanation to you yester day ikperson, you should have deemed It necessary to publish your leiter, and I hope. therefore, you will have no objection tothe publication of tills an swer to allay any fears which you may have ex °Rea. I am, very respoetlUlly, Your obedient servant, OHAS. W. SANDFORD, Major General MILITARY MOVEMENTS IN THE STATE.—Outside of New York little interest appearsto be manifested in the movements of the Invaders. No steps have been taken womanize militia forces; at least, none are chronicled in the daily journals. MBETIIIO eT OOLVMULA.—The people or colum bla hero just hold a town meeting to make arrange ments for one .hundred days' men, to drive out the invaders from Maryland. One of the speakore, a citizen of the town, offered to give ono thousand dol lars to the MU company raised in the town and neighorhood. Tait RIGHT SPIRIT PREVAILITIO AT ReADIRO.— We learn that the citizens of Reading are imbued with the right spirit. The business places wore closed yesterday, and the railroad shops had also been closed, for the purpose of enabl In gall the hands to turn out and attach theintiolves to companies to repel the rebel invaders. TUX Inn nPliltltrES MOVING.—At a meeting of the members of the 9th Pennsylvania Reserves held in Pittsburg, it was resolved as follows: "That each member present constitute himself a commit tee_ef ono to go to work at once and raise as many zueras possible, and organize them into companies for State and national defence, pursuant to the tio vernor'e call, dated July sth and 6th.' , EXCITEMENT 711 GR'TTYSIIURO.—Luring the past few days Intense excitement has been prevailing in this town ; many of the inhabitants either bit it or so prepared themselves its to leave at M. moment's notice. Refugees front the surrounding country came in in hundreds; many of them still re main, although the excitement has much abated. 'We hear of no recruiting; or organization of militia, although nu doubt such things are In progress.

Yount Es - orrim INTO A PAN le.—When the official despatch announcing. Lho success of the rebel troops on the Monocacy was received In York, It occasioned the most Intense consternation among the people In the town end . the country around. Ru iners were rife of the most astounding nature. Farmers abandoned their homes, and lied with their stock and most precious property: the banks re moved their funds to Columbia, and from thence to Ms city. Considerable emigration is now going on to Harrisburg. The Northern Central Railroad is running no more trains to Baltimore, they liravint been stopped at this point. All. the rolling stne and engines of the road are being run : north to Har risburg and Sunbury. HUY,' aratsvx GITIMIMATORIAL INnoTioN.—The Trenton Dafly Monitor says: "While Massachusetts, Pennsylvania,Now York, and other sister States, aro pouring Into the lap of the Government; promptly and liberally,their sup plies of troops for service In and near Maryland, du ring this earnest and uncertain emergency, nothing is doing ,in New Jersey, and the Governor of Chu State is not at lilt post of duty in Trenton ono half of the time to act upon any orders or requests t hat mialit be received from tho Federal authorities. If we do flnything - , it must IA done by ourselves, as ,TH.ECROrS. Pro4e . cti; or in, Good Hai.vest, Our exchanges furnish us with the following ex tracts giving a general idea of the state of the crops in various parts of the country. They beto ken a moderate htfrveA, but one that will fill our gra naries with enough for the army and for home con sumption, besides a little to spare for the needy in foreign lands. in Pennsylvania the accounts arc cheering. In the Cumberland Valley particularly, the crops are as large as the largest average of former years. The country journals all chronicle 1, big yields) , among their patrons. The following, which we take from the Montgomery Ledger, Potts town, which speaks also for Borks and Chester counties, finds an echo in every part of the State : 'A few of the farmers in this vicinity commenced cutting theirwheat and rye last week, but the work in most of the , fields will be done.this week. The reaping machine will be used almost exclusively in cutting off the grain, owing to the scarcity and high price of farm hands. The grain' crop in this region is a very good one. Our exehang_es all report the hay crop as an averae one. The Bucks County Intelligencer says that "the yield, everybody supposed would be a very heavy one this season, turns out to be far less than wasaxpeated. In most fields the grass is .rather light, especially where there Is a good deal or clover. Those who commenced mowing last week were generally disappointed at the result. Ray is now selling at about-dr2o per ton, and as the new crop in Mrs region will not be more than an average one, at best, the price is not likely to go down. Several lots of grass in the neighborhood of Doyles town have been sold at from *lb to 819 per acre." From the southern portion of this great corn and wheat State the reports of the wheat crop arc cheer ing. Speaking of the prospects for the whole State, an exchange says : "We conclude that the in creased quantity of spring wheat that has been sown, growing as it has been, and is still, under the most favorable weather, will more than compensate the damage done to winter wheat." Nsw Yens.—The Skaneateles Democrat says : "For the past ten days it has been hot enough to balance the cold of the previous week or two. Grass will he good if we Jo not have too much hot weath er. Early-solved oats look fine • barley coming on well ; spring wile*, but very little sowed ; winter wheat, haw up generally; most was ploughed up and sowed with oats. Late-sowed oats will be nothing unless we have rain soon, and probably three fourths were soled since the first or this motith, in this section. Corn planted early, on dry land, looks and grows finely, but that planted rather late, on sod Inverted, looks hard, the ground being rather too dry ibr it." • In Onondagacounty and the counties immediately surrounding, another exchange informs us, pros pects arc equally,dull. It says: "In this vicinity the yield of hay in old meadows will be very small; on new, of course, it will be better. Wheat will suffer least, and as it is likely to till well, even if the weather continues 'dry, the yield may be an average in this section. _Corn is not large, but has not yet sustained scrioneinjury. The crop, with potatoes, will do well enough if we have rain soon; otherwise both will be spoiled. But the greatest disappoint ment met with here is in relation to our tobacco. We should judge now that but a small portion of .the ground fitted for tobacco can be planted at all, except upon a limited scale, by the aid of slow, ex pensive, and laborious artificial watering." A correspondent writes from Seneca county "The last fourteen days of June favored the corn crop 'unusually, and resuscitated thousands of wheat fields in western New York,..which in early Juno 'looked like a dissert waste that no verdure quicken ed. A farmer in Cayuga county writes that the last half of June has made the wheat crop, and It will he an average; fields that looked like a failure as into as the loth of June, on the Ist of July promised well. has been said much truth that and August - made the corn :crop,' but it may be said that June has done it this season.; such long hot days and warm nights rarety,come In June as they did this year. I had garden sweet corn laiated- :Was: ta. the llii, on the 25th. or Tune n no Site Wild a half toes high. A short, warm night promotes the growth of corn the next day exceedingly:u_Vniler thettroPtes corn grows much slower.than War-where, owing to the longer night"- and shorter days. The hay crop in this region ii%large, potatoes look well, and the early kinds will soon be in • market. Marley and oats need more rain, particularly on bard-run fields which were too wet to.. seed ear/v.. But I notice thht the best farmers have few such holds." On the whole the New York crop a rites are not favomblo, although it is too soon to form artopthion. Early rains, however, will make vigorous corn and crass. Naw Jams - v.—The Warren Gazelle says "the crops of grain and grass look Very promising in that section, and that there will be a great abundance of fruit. Similar reports come front all parts of the State." Another account States "In New Jersey the peach crop will be abundant. One producer has ISO,t)GO trectin Ocean county that are bearing, and is proptiling to send to market 224,000 bushels. Like reports Come. from' Maryland and Delaware; and through all the Central States grass, wheat, corn, and irult willgive a large yield." BlAtxu.+Correspondence from Franklin - county, June 22, says "The grass croP, though checked, is very good, and there will be a good crop of hay if we have the weather to procure it. Wheat and oats thus far have promised better than corn, but for ten days corn that was not frost-bitten too hard, has somewhat changed the appearances. Sheep have not done so well as usual, nor are there the full number of lambs." VERMONT.—This State is in the midst ofa drought of unprecedented severity for this season, extending through the entire , month of June, on .the Ist of which grass never looked more promising; but, alter eight or tea3,days, a severe frost occurred, fol lowed by a cold* Wind and scorching sun, and at tended in some places with rust, which prevented timothy from maturing; and now hay-time has come, and not, more than one-half of an average crop can be secured., spring crops are already seriously injured, if not ruined. 'Winter crops are very much winter-killed. ' Corn, potatoes, and beans look welt - Dab much withered. Pastures are white under Ob'degrees in the abet e, 1201legrees in thesun, with not dew sufficient to wet one's bare feet. The sun rises and sets in tire and smoke, but not a cloud for Weeks. Fruit, as a general thing, promises well, thouglestrawberries are lost. hla BRACH syrrs.—A. correspondent, writing from West Roxbury, June 20, says : "The weather now is very -W dry:...Grass is suffering In some places. Corn grows sioly and looks yellow." CONNEOTIcIT.—A. correspondent of the Country Cceltionan,,Writing from °Bethlehem, says: Corn rather small; : but rye very good. Abundance of fruit; but. the frost killed or put back some of our sugar cane, so that It looks rather unpromising. Olito.—A.correeptmdent from Huron county, un der date of JUDO 22, writes : " Our hay crop Will be light, from appearances now. Corn is badly cut up by worms en all soil ground ; otherwise it looks well. Wheat almost an entire failure." The Ohio Ztaterrnan says .that three -thousand farms In Ohio are left without a man to tend to them. Thousands of fields. are left waste for the want of hinds to cularate them. ""A' Fanitan" of Miami county, Ohio, writes June 30th that they will have two-thirtla of an ave rage yield of.whent ; that snore wassown than usual; flax and barley are better than Last yehr ; oats are about the same ; sorghum promises better; potatoes will probably be half a crop, and corn gives fair promise as yet. The Springfield (Ohio) News of the 4th Says : The recent rains have been too late for the grass. except in the late meadows Land a light hay-harvest is inevitable this year. Of wheat, we have re liable authority for saying theca more than average crop may be expected. The creaking ivith which the season commenced has steadily given way to more cheerful . anticipatlons, ns is so often the case and from the prospect of an utter failure we have at length come to behold the fields ripe with a bounti ful harvest. Oats are said to Le fn fair condition. Corn and vegetables will do wonders,' if the balance of the season shall prove as favorable as the last few days. Benjamin Wilson, .near, Woestor, Ohio, writes June Nth, that the wheat crop of that region will little, ii any more, than furnish the people with bread and seed. He thinks four bushels per acre may be obtained against eighteen and twenty usually harvested. About. Ike. same quantity was sown last fall as in previous years. Farmers did. not plough up sp y last spring because they follow the good habit of clovoring their field. More corn than usual was planted. Not many. oats, but a large quantity of barley and flax was put in. Oats look poorly and flax is short, though the seed alone makes it profitable. Grass crops are light en account of the drought, which at the time of his writing was broken' by rain on the 20th and 30th, that will give the barley, oats, and other crops a lift. MICRIOAN.—From the Detroit Tribune, Juno 29; we extract the following: "The farmers in the vicinity of Pontiac have nearly all commenced haying. Owing to the ex cessive cold weather of last winter, and the present drought, the crops will be very •Iliht. Wheat has been matured to such an extent by e warm weather that it will do to cut in some sections this week. The crop will generally be light,. Most other crops are being badly damaged by tho drought, except corn, which is growing finely. • " The greatest activity of the wool market Is over, although there Is considerable to come yet, as some have not sheared. The prices range from 90 to D 3 cents per pound. Some of the buyers have com menced shippiag," The Detroit ' klve Press reports that in portions of Michigan, including about one-half of that State, an average crop of wheat will be harvested. In the re. mainder of the State many of the fields will not pay for harvesting, and many others have been ploughed up for other crops. Preto . all reports from that State, we conclude that the crop will fall far below an average ono. • The Adrian (Mich.) Expositor says: "We learn that the grapevines do not show so much of injury as was anticipated and feared, some varieties being partially destroyed, others unharmed. The Dela ware, Oonoord, Ulinten, and Hartford Prolific vede ttes are all right. The Isabellas and Catawbas aro Somewhat injured. The Isabellas, which wore frozen down, aro sprouting from the root, and shoots have from two to six bunches of blossoms each. Lovers of grapes need not fear a scarcity of them this year. Pears promise as well es apples. Cherries have gone the same way as.the peaches—there will be bid few. DI oat of the smell fruits promise full crops." The Monroe (Michigan) Commercial says: "Wheat has been coming forward vary rapidly of late, and many fields which have been thought to be almost worthless may yet disappoint theirowners by yield ing half a crop, while some of the best fields, in sheltered localities, will yield perhaps a full crop, though In this country they will be few and far be tween. mother portions of the State the reports orb a little more favorable than they have boon. We MVO scarcely ever seen a more abundant and general blossoming of apple trees than has been pre sented to:the eye this spring. in this locality and from present appearances we are to have a fulfsup ply of this staple trait, at least. Peach trees present sorry appearance, being more dead than alive. Of course,'we ;shall have no peaches. The trees may possibly rooter, or some of them," Another statement Is : 4 '7n Michigan wheat has improved so much under the line growing weather that it looks fifty per cent. better, and an average crop is promised In one•hall the State; in the other half the report is not so good." luoinwn.—The New Albany (Intl.) Ledger or the 30th says: "The wheat crop exceeds all expectation. Much less smut than was supposed. The recent rains have pushed forward the corn crop, and ail doubts of failure on this score are now at an end." Says the Owen county Journal: . "The farmers are now in the midst of the wheat harVest, and, as for as we can learn, the grain Is very heavy nod of first-rate quality. Other crops are suffering from the drought. A good rain now would be worth thousands of dollars to the people of Owen county. Says the Fort Wayne Times of the Ist: 'Harvesting has already commenced in this coun ty. The yield of wheat will be small. The dry, hot weather has ripened the wheat before tlie ker. 'nets bed chance to fill mit. The rains of yesterday helped the corn prospects very much. Says the Franklin Jeffersonlan : " The farmers have been quite busy during this week harvesting their wheat. Never since our re collection was the crop bettor In 'Johnson county. The Randolph county Journal says Our present wheat crop, is good, but light. The corn we expect to -see do , tolerably well yet. It will depend much on the length of the season. Po tatoes are standing a worse chance. They Can't wait for the ruins of August. Let things turn out the best they can, we must have scant supplies and high prices and we want to say to everybody, save lip everything, and plant and sow everything that can grow after this. Buckwheat and turnips es pecially come in for attention. Lot farmers g 0 it strong on buckwheat,. and let everybody In town • anti country scatter turnip:seed over: all creation. Plenty of them will help out much in the produe-: Lion of milk, butter, and beef. • tra.iwom.—A. writer for the Country Gentleman, datim,v - his letter " Wheaton, June 20,".saye : " We have been having a vary cold, dry, and backward spell since .about the first of May ; consequently, corn is small, and not a good prospect. Early-sown wheat rind oats look well, but late.sowlng have suf fered front drought. Meadows I never saw look so bare at this season of the year as they do now. So far as Ihave seen, or conversed with , lhrmers in this vicinity, there will not be one-third of a crop of hay this season. There Is much apprehension felt by farmers, as they think of the coining winter. Some are already offering their stock for sale, as there seems no possible chance of securing feed enough to carry them thrthigh the winter. 'Fruit is scarce." Another correspondent from Rock Island county, Tune lath, writes "We have had no rains to do any good for six weeks. On the night of the oth, 10th, and lath, the corn on low lands was frozen to the'ground. Many acres through the county are lost. Meadows light; pastures dried up ; wheat heading out a foot high; .heads short; barley short; oats are better, but short ; corn small ; many pieces planted three weeks ago not up. Some fields of corn look fair. The prospects , for good crops are but li c if any better titan last year at this time. The Minch bug is doing much harm in certain places." WiscoxstN.—A despatch froM Milwaukee;dated June 27, states : "It has now' been almost two months, since - we have had rain, enough to lay the dust, and the worst' apprehensions of our farmers in reg ard to the ruin of their. erops Is more than verifid. Short-handed as they are, and obliged to pay exorbitant prices for labor, the yield of the State will barely pay the price of , harveSting." A correspondent from Kenosha county'p, under (late of Juno 21, says : "Our prospect . Mr crops In southeastern Wisconsin is bad everything suffering from severe drought. Such a drought has nut been known so early In the season fur twenty- LIM years that I have resided here. Wheat is suf fering ; barley heading out, not over eight to ten inches high ; oats no better than wheat ; corn worse than the above; not one field in ten a good stand, averages not over one kill in three. Hay on tame meadows that cut two tons last year on an acre, will not cut five hundred pounds at this time. 'ln fact meadows are only decent feed. Pastures dried up; Potatoes about an average." - A correspondent from Madison writes as follows: "As per promise, I will drop you a - line.' I have no particular news of importance, except the fact, which may Interest many of your readers, that the crops of Wisconsin, and in ['actin many places in the West, will prove an almost total failure, on account of the unprecedented drought. 'Nothing , of the kind has'ever before so seriously affected this part of the country. -No rain has visited this section for six weeks or more, and the earth,in consequence, is dreadfully parched. All vegetation is more or less damaged. sawl some very fair fields of winter wheat, Just ready for the sickle, as Ipassed through Michigan, but spring wheat generally, in the West, may be .set 'down as a lamentable failure. - - - - - The rain last Wednesday and Thursday extended over Northern Ohio, and, so far as we have learned, over considerable portions of lowa, Wisconsin, Illi nois and Indiana. It also rained a good shower in this locality. The people begin to think they will escape starvation. 'file rains have now been so gene ral that the drought is entirely suspended, except in a few localities. The damage by dry weather will not prove to be so great as was feared. In many. portions of the West it rained again copiously on Friday and Saturday. MINDESOTA.—The 'Winona Republicsays: " There was a slight shower We morning, the good effects of which are apparent everywhere. It is not Im possible, after all that has been said, that this country not altogether given over to destrtfction by drought yet. The crops are looking well, and are In DO immediate danger of injury from dry weather.' Another account says: "In MinneSota, the pro spects for a full crop, If reports are trustworthy, were never more favorable." A third states : "1511nm:soh" sends a good report, and a very largo crop is anticipated." Kaweas.—One paper says : "In Kansas the win ter wheat was badly damaged, nearly destroyed, by the freeze. which cut 11. short hero, but the spring wheat is doing unusually well." Another (the Leavenworth Conservative) states: "Nansns, for the most part, has been visited by re freshin rains, though a little more of the same sort, especially in this vicinity, would do no damage to the crops." Iffissount.—The St. Louis News states that in the central and southern portions of Missouri the most cheering prospects exist, and that a full crop of wheat will be realized. In the northern portion of the State, where not totally killed by the freeze of last winter, the yield will be good. .The St. Louis Republican says, that although many parts of Missouri have suffered from drought in the last two months, still some localities have been benefited by copious showers, and there the crops have a different appearance. All the spring planted crops were put in late and are backward. Corn is likely to turn out fair, but wheat, barley, and oats, arc not up to the average. Another statement is : "In Central and Southern Missouri the wheat will be a lull crop, though a few months ago it was thought to he winter killed." TEXAS AND LOITISIANA.—A terrible drought pre vails in Texas and Louisiana. Theirries are so baked and so cracked into fissures t horseback travel is dangerous and wheels imp stable. Cattle are dying in great numbers because the springs, creeks, bayous, and rivers aro dried. A recent traveller by the Gulf coast says that he passed thou sands of carcasses of cattle which had come to the seashore and drank salt water until they died. The effect of this upon the rebel supplies from Texas can be easily seen. They depend upon Texas for their beef. E=i2 Some of the accounts printed above may seem discouraging, and for that reason we have predicted only a moderate harvest. But recent rains In many localities have, since the accounts wore written, materiallytmproved the prospects from those of no crops at all to those of average, or even bountiful yields. In many States of the West the severe cold of last winter, the late spring frosts, and the withering drought of this summer, have materlallyinjurod the wheat. But r notwithstanding the Inevitable croak ings resulting from this state of things, the injury is much less than the croakers would have us believe. There Is always a gloomy time in the minds of many farmers, and the press very soon echoes their opi nions. Though, doubtless, less than tho average, yet the greater breadth sown, especially in spring wheat, will make a fair prospect for a Oestern crop. The corn prospect presents nothing discouraging. Several accounts speak of large plantations of Chi nese and Implies sugar-cane, and that the promise oT a large yield is flattering. In the Eastern States there is a general complaint of the capricious changes of weather. Two weeks ago the weather was very cold ; now it is very hot, and all crops are, consequently, suffering. In the Middle States, the cold wet spring, late frosts, and subsequent severe dirouhgt, have unques tionably made a light hay orop in most localities, though it was secured in capital ordor. Oats and potatoes generally cannot come up to an averago yield ; but corn is not yet seriously injured. Wheat is varying in quality, but generally good. As this Ls the time for sowing buckwheat and late turnips, it would be good policy in farmers to lay in as large a breadth as possible. Buckwheat especially will go--a great way to supply the, deficiency in the Western wheat crop. Largo fruits are generally prointsing. loaelies that of late years have been smith in size and miserable in' quality, look bettor this year than over before. A full supply of the luscious fruit may be expected. The Pirate Florida. PARTIOULAES OF THE OAPTURH OF THE STEAM= Nan , Yeatx July 12.—0 n Sunday afternoon, Cape Ben!open being seventy-five miles northwest by north, the steamship Electric Spark, Captain J. (3. Graham, on her voyage from this port to Havana: and New Orleans, was boarded and taken possession of by the privateer Florida. When the Florida was that discovered, she was distant about fifteen miles to the northward, and making for the Electric Spark, which she gained on rapidly. When some seven or eight miles distant, the 'Florida hoisted the English flag, which she kept flying until within twelve hundred yards of- the steamer, when the re bel colors were substituted, and a shot fired astern of the Electric Spark, closely followed by another across the bows. The steamer not Coming to Immo tilate)y, a shell was fired, which, after striking the water a few feet from the vessel, passed directly over fier, about midships. The steamer then , hove to, and was. Immediately boarded by a party from the Florida, who took possession of her, and ordered the captain on board the privateer with his papers. No personal property was destroyed or taken, but the steamer, with all the mails contained in sixty five bags, was retained. The English schooner Lane had been previously boarded by the Florida., and was near by at the time of the capture of the Electric Spark. Both steam-. ors were soon headed for the schooner, which hove to until they came up. The captain, crow, and pas sengers; about forty in number, were then put on board the Lane, which was bound to this port. For the performance of this duty the captain of the Lane is said to have been paid seven hundred and twenty dollars in gold by the captain of the Florida. The Lane arrived hero last evening. The Electric Spark was built in Philadelphia, and Is owned by Wm. J. Taylor h. Co., of that. city. The Electric Spark made a very narrow escape from destruction, being mistaken for a transport. Bad she net stopped after the third shot, a broadside from the rebel battbry, which was in readiness for the purpose, would have destroyed her. The crow and passengers are represented to have been well treated after her character was dikovered. ARREST OP THE SELF-STYLED REBEL COLONEL. —Gen. Dix having learned through a recent 'publi cation in the Advertise?* of the presence in this city of a person giving his name as Thomas .Tofferson Stanton, and styling himself a paroled rebel colonel, sent an order here for his arrest. During the morn ing several officers were upon his twtck, and at noon Officer Lang succeeded in arresting him in the Shinies,"corner of Muibrory and Mechanic streets where he was enjoying himself with a number of sympethizing admirers. Re was quietly taken to the office of the provost marshal, and subsequently escorted to Now York by Col: Crockett.. Stanton nckpowledges that he had been indiscreet in hie language, and presumes his arrest was made on that ground. Ile asserted, however, that ho raper ted to Gen. Dix about a week since, and was allowed to go. Since his stay in this city he has lost no oppor tunity to denounce the Government and the North. After his arrest he vi as• followed by his admirers, ore of whom indignantly asked the officer upon what authority he was making the arrest. Many believe that he is an impostor, and very few think.

The result of Mr. Fessendents visit to New York has not yet transpired. A New York paper, in re ferring to this interview with the financiers of that City, says that no plan was suggested by Mr. Fes senden, nor will any be proposed until he has fully made himself acquainted with the opinions of the financial authorities of the leading commercial Centres. It IS, however, known that he comes to borrow, and use the existing money of the country instead of attempting to carry on the Government by due bills of hourly decreasing value. It is fully realized that any increase of circulating money, dis guised by bearing.nominal or small interest, would be calculated to cause a currency panic, and so put the treasury in a worse condition than ever. What the Government wants Ifs the use of the existing. money of the country, which is not only ample but in excess of Mr. Fessenden's wants, large as they are. The only process by which the treasury can bo kept full is by borrowing at the highest sate allowed by law, and putting the Government credit squarely in competition with all minor credits.

In 1862 the number of banks and branches was 10 ; on the 4th of July, 1664, the nutu tier was 244 This large reduotion of circulation, whilst the number of banks has increased, is one of the effects of the preference fbr greenbacks shown by the people of the West.
