Crop Prospects at theWest.
Davi Johns write from Duncan Falls,
Ohio, May 7, as follows: -
'Tbe-prorpects foe a wheat crop' in the
Muskingum"-V'allry,;are aUbin time rath
er promising, and 1 thiuk If not disturbed,
by weevil," we shall have a larger crop
tbau for the last four years. We have at
the prcsnt most delightful weather, nnd
all "FarmprdoHr' arc buny, late and ear
ly, in trying to get iu a large breadth of
land."
From Walpolo, Ind., we have' the fol
lowing: 'Every farmer in Central Indiana has
boeu taking your advice given about two
weeks a.-o-ln nutting in all the corn and
wheat thev could. One farmer here,who
hasncarlv two hundred acres of improved
land, has in about fifty acres with wheat,
and the same with corn. The last tcu
days have been occupied with corn plan
ting over all Central and Noithcrn Indi
ana. Never before has three-fourths so
uiuoh ground been put in with corn, nor
90 much wheat sown as wa put tn iasi
Fall. Men from all sections of the State,
say that the promise was never so good
for a fine and abundant wheat crop.-
There in scarcely a bad field of wheat iu
this part of the country.
The promise for fruits, of all kinds
(?ave pcaclie).-is ploneid. Apples will
be "dog-cheap" this year all over the
West.
The Spring is an advanced one, and
butter aud eggs have fallen to 10o. and
G$c. respectively."
The Grain and Fruit Crops.
Tho Pittsburg, (Pa) Gazette of the
10th inst, says: A friend, who has trav
ersed most of tho couuties between the
Ohio and Lake Erie, jn Western Penn
sylvania and Eastern Ohio, reports the
wheat crop looking finely better thau
for several years previous. In Eric and
Crawford counties and tho Western Re
serve the crop further advanced .than
usual, aud is very thick on tho ground.
About the uual amount of ground is sow
ed and the farmers anticipate a profita
ble harvest. The fruit trees are literal.
lv loaded with blossoms, and unless we
should have heavy frosts there is no doubt
that au extraordinary quantity of apples,
peaches, pears and plants will be gather

Doylehtown Intelligencer says that a large

Mr. J. M. Bolts concludes a letter in
the Richmond Wing, iu relation to bis
views concerning tlavcry as follows :
"In this connection it may be proper
to add, for the information of all who leei
an interest in my record, pee cbort para-
'ra.hfrotn my African Church speech in
IS46. relatm to thesamesubject.and trom
the several extracts beicwith furnished, I
think few will have any difficulty in as
certaining my position on the sbvery
question. Here is the extract referred
to :
My position on the question of Slave
ry is thi, and so far from wishing to con-
ceal it, I desire it should be Known to an.
Muzzles wero made for dogs and not for
men, and no press and no party can put
a muzzle on my mouth, so long as I val
ue my freedom. Imako bold then to
proclaim that 1 am no slavery propagan-
diat. I will resort to all proper remedies
to protect and defend slavery where it ex
ists, but I will neither as-sistin nor en
courage any attemps to force it upon a
reluctant people anywhere, and still less
will I justify the u?e of the military pow
er of the country to establish it in any ol
the tcrritoiics. If it finda its way there
by legitimate means, it is all well; but
never by force, through any inatrumcn
tality of mine. I am myself a slavehold
er, and all tbe property my children have
iu the world is slaxe proporty, inherited
from their mother aud he who under
takes to connect ray name, or my opinion,
with abolitionism, is either a knave or a
fool, end not unfrequcntly both. And
this is the only answer I have to make to
them. I havo not connected myself with
any sectional question, and so help me
God I never will."'
Speaking of the adoption of the two
years' amendment in Massachusetts,
through the "combined efforts of Ameri
cans and Democrats, The Detroit Tribune
remarks :
'One fact stands forth for the satisfac
tion of that influential class of our fellow
citizens at whose political statue this odi
ous ameudmcnt strikes, and that is thi-;
that every State in the Union controlled
by the Republicans, either by its Press,
its leading public men, or its State Cen

tested against it. The Republican party

Baltimore, May 13.- Tho extensive
engine depot belonging to tho -Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad
Company, situated near the passenger
depot, ou President street, was totally def
stroyed by fire this morning, about 3 o'
clock. The building was set on fire, it is sup
posed, by sparks from one of the locomo
tives, and the flames spread so rapidly
that it was impossible to check them, not
withstanding tho most strenuous exertious
on the part of the firemen.
Tho Locomotives, Baltimore, Magnolia,
Maryland, Cincinnati aud Virginia, were
all destroyed. Several coal cars, snow
ploughs, and a quantity of material be
longing to the cars wero burned.
The machine shop of tho company,
which adjoins the engine depot, took fire
and was partially destroyed. A very se
rious, and to the Company annoying loss,
was occasirued by the destruction of the
entire books, papers, memorandums, &c,
of tht; Machine Department.
Tim loss bv the Ore is estimated at
S30.U00. upon which tho Company had
tnctirn nnn.4 in the Baltimore offices of

The car and passenger depots were un
injured. No interruption. will be occa
sioned to the passenger trains, the track

Asylum was burned, together with all its
contents, consisting of four borses. wag

tity of agricultural implements. The
flames commuuicatcd to two tenant hous
es, which were considerably damaged.
The loss by this fire is estimated at S4000.
At two o'ctock this morning, the bam
attached to tho Dauphin County Poor
House, was destroyed by firo. Four
mules, five horses, and eighteen horned
cattle perished in 'the flames. Twenty
five tons of hay, one hundred bushels of
oats, fifty bushels of aye, and forty bush
els of potatoes, were destroyed. The loss
is estimated at S4200.
Itissuppoed that both of the build
ings were fired by a man named Martin
Henry Wolf, who was formerly an inmate
of the Asylum. He has recently been an
inmate of the Poor HoUHe, and effected
his escape from that Institution yester
day afternoon. He was arrested this

The Earthquake at Quito.
The last Columbia Democrat publishes
the following extract of a letter from the
Hon. Charles R. Buckalcw, United States
Minister to Acuador, to Judge Warren J.
Woodward, of Bloomsburg, Pa. It gives
a more accurate account of the recent ter
rible earthquake in the city ot tjuito.
than has yet appeared in the papers aud
relieves the enxiety that was felt tor the
safety of Mr. Buckalcw and his family,
when the first news of tbe disaster came,
representing tbe city in ruins, and thous
ands of the inhabitant killed.
Dear Sir:
We had this morning at S o'clock,
much the most severe earthquake which
has visited Quito during the present cen-
tury. Its duration was aooui una minute.
The spires of many Churches are thrown
down, roofs of houses fallen in, and tbe
streets in many places lined with broken
tiles precipitated from above. I have just
returned from visiting tho J lores House,
from which we removed on the 17th inst
It is in ruin a great part of the roof is
down, also a part of the second story; the
chimney-top, thrown with violence, car
ried away with the stable roof, some pi
the furniture is crushed, and tho brick
and tiles are piled four or five feet deep
over tbo bed-places where we slept. We
ecapcd the catastrophe by just five days.
My prcseut home is uninjured, is reas
onably secure against futuro shocks, and
there is plenty of open ground adjoining
for refuge. Mrs. Buckalcw and I passed
iuto tbe paseo, and the children and ser
vants into the garden during tho shock
from our position I saw the action of the
house, and the movements of the earth to
advantage. A bricklayer on tho roof,
working at a chimney top, found it thrown
iuto confusion around him, and took a firm
grip to hold himself from following the
fragments. There is more or less of in
jury all over the city, but details are yet
unknown. I do not think the number
killed is very large. I havo had time to
make only a slight personal examination.
The bouse are very much shattered, and
another severe shock, would produce im
mense destruction.
Reports from neighboring villages rep
resent them as having suffered severely;
and we await news from the South, where
previous Earthquakes had been most se
vere. I might fill my sheet with reports,
but bave confined myself in this letter to
what I know.
Your Respectfully,
C. R. BUCK A LEW.

Great Stampede of Slaves.
We learn from reliable authority that
seventy five slaves arrived in Canada by
one train, from the intorior of Tennessee.
This is probably the largest that ever es
caped in one company. But a week be
fore a company of twelve arrived and are
now at the depot near Maiden. Nearly
tbe same time one of seven, and another
of five, safely landed on the free soil of
Canada, making ninety-four in all, worth
at the present market pric.e the handsome
sum of 94,000 ! The Underground Rail
road was never beforo doing so flourish
fng a business. At the rate these ungrate
ful fellows are stealing themselves, the
market must be seriously affected, unless
kept supplied direct from Africa De

Facts Concerning" Gold.
When refined from all impurities and
alloys of inferior metals, gold is denomi
nated pure, or gold ot twenty-iour carats,
this bein!! the standard of purity requir
ed at the Mint and by dealers in gold.
In reality, however, there is no gold so
very pure but that it wants a quater of a
carat of this standard. The carat is di
vided into one-fourth, oue-eigbth, one-
sixteenth, aud one-thirty second, these
degrees serving to distmgush the greater
or less quantity of alloy therein contain-

than was to have been expected. It seems
that they did uot enter bardiuia until
the 29th ult., although the reply of the
Piedmontese Government to their ulti
matum was received by Count Gyulai on
tho eveuina of tho 2bth. Here was
loss of two days, aud for what reason does
not appear. The delay in the attack
upon the Piedmontese forces is attributed
to tho fact that the roads on the Austrian
line of march havo been broken up and
the bridges destroyed; but the first con-
siderablo hostilities must nave taUen place
