For many years tlio celebration of tlio Fourth of July was scarcely observed in tlio city, beyond tlio explosion of crackers, tor pedoes, &c, by the boys, whilst ninny of tlio citizens went out into tlio country on pic nic nnd other excursions of pleasure. Hut our Philadelphia friends hnvo n keen cyo for tho almighty dollar as well as for pa. trioti3ui, and concluded to blend prolit and patriotism together. Tho number of stran gers was csUmnted at 100,000. Tho city was very much crowded, and a rich harvest for hotel proprietors and shop-keepers was the result. . Tho procession, to-day, was large and im posing, according to tho opinions of the pa pers, although not so large as tho firemen's parade last year. It did not, however, come up to our expectations. The movements of the procession were prompt nnd well arranged, as might be ex pected, when managed by that gallant sol dicr, (fen. iloncock, who was loudly cheered as ho passed along at the head of tho col umn, ticn. Mouilc was nldo warmly greeted. Nest came Clcu. deary, who wns received with prolonged cheers, nnd after him was Governor Curtin, who was always popular with the soldiers. One of the most pleasing eights was tho procession of orphan boys sons of soldiers who were killed in battle or died in service. They looked happy and contented, and seemed to enjoy the holiday excursion. The Convention, to bo held in this city on the 14th, by tho friends of the President, its friends here say, will be represented by every Congressional district iu tho States, uud they also say it will have an important bearing in its action. Of this, however, wc cun judge better hereafter. E2""A SouTiiunx Convention. Gover nor Hamilton, of Texas, proposes to get up a National Convention, at some Southern point, of the Union men, to lake into con sideration steps for the protection and secu rity of Southern men from the threatened return to power of the unrcpeutent leaders of the Rebellion. CSS?" iMroiiTANT Railroad Decision. The Supreme Court, in session at Wilk.es barre, on the 29 lb ult., in the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad case, declared the Cattawissa lease a good and valid legal con tract, and that the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad does connect tho Atlantic and Great Western Railroad with the Cutawissa, notwithstanding the dillcrcncc in gauge. The Iroecl9 of I lie Crops. The monthly report of the Department of Agriculture says : Tlio returns of fivo thousand correspon dents in all parts of the country having been icceivcd from the 1st to the 15th of June, bhows that tho apprehensions ot scarcity of crops, which might threaten compulsory economy ol consumption or warraut extra ordinary prices, mo groundless. From a careful analysis of the statistical returns, with due regard to the usual average product and present losses of each State, the prospect on the 1st of June was for seven-tenths of a crop. With favorable weather and tho absence of casualties before harvesting, the indica tions poiut to threo-fuurths of an average total yield of wheat. Ohio uud Iudiaim ap pear to have suffered most from wiutcr kill ing. A proHpcet for thirty-four per cent, of a crop of wiuter wheat in Indiana is suQi ciently discouraging. Au increase by four tcnths of the average breadth of spring wheat will afford some relief and ought to bring up tho total average to half a crop. Ohio is reported lit four-tenths for winter wheat, with two-nud-a-baU-teulhs more for spring wheat than usual. A very little belter prospect for winter wheat than Indiana, aud not quite so large au increase of spring wheat will give about tho same result, half an average crop. Illi nois, now our greatest wheut growing State, promises seven-tenths of a crop of winter wheat, and as the spring wheat, which is tho main dependence lor a crop iu portions of the State, is nearly as good as usuul, at least thrcc-tourihs of a crop of wheat should be expected in the Stato. In Wisconsin tho w iutcr wheat is reported ut six and ouc-third-teuths. with one mul three-quarters moie spring wheut than usual, which should secure three-fourths of an average crop for this Stato. Iu Iowa, tho appearance of winter wheat is uinc-teuihs ; spring, ten Hnd three-fourth tenths; and breadth of the latter sown, twelve and one eighth-tenths. This should jjivu at least an average crop for Iowa. In New York, winter wheat, eight and four nine-tenths; spring wheat, nine and three-fifth tenths, or about eight-tenths lor the crop as a whole. In Missouri, a prospect for a full crop of winter wheat is reported, with one-half tenth of Cvo per cent, more thau the usual breadth ot spring wheat, looking neatly us well 08 usual at this season of tho year. Kentucky is reported at the tlntl two third truths. Michigan, seven nnd one-halt tenth. Minnesota ten aud five nine tenths for winter wheat und nine tenths for tnriii" Wheat. 1 0 lumsas fourteen and one third tenths for winter and twelve-tenths for spring wheat. Iu New Kugluud, except in MusacliUocUs, A full brcudth of spring wheat is sown, look ing better than an average in Muino, and a fraction lower than an average in tho other tlutcs. Winter wheat, where it is grown ut nil has guttered to tho extent of one und two teuth3, uud in Vermont uud Connecticut tunic-tenths. New Jersey is placed ir. the sasnc list with New York and Pennsylvania, at eight tenths, anil ucliwnrc, .Mary I a nil nnd West Virginia w ill each average about six-teuths. Tho btction west of the Mississippi, com puting Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri aud Knnu.ts '.ukcu together, pioiuise wore than an uvcruge crop of wheat. General Lougstreet was recently serenaded nt New Orleans. He said he had no platform on which to address his hearers.

Tbaddcus Stevens mado tho clos ing speech in tho House 011 tbo 13th ult. on tho proposed amendments to the consti tution. It is ono of the most pointed and eloquent efforts in his life, and hlswords will sink deep into the hearts of tho loyal people, lie said : - - Mr. Speaker, wo mny, pcrhnps, congrntu lato tho House and the country on tlio ap proach to completion of a proposition to bo submitted to the people for tho ndmissiou of an outlawed' community into the privileges and advnntnC3 of a civilized nnd free gov ernment. When I say thnt wo should re joice ot such completion, I do not thereby intend so much to express joy nt the supo rior excellence of tho scheme as thnt tlicro is to bo a scheme a schemo containing much positive good ns well, I am bound to admit, as tho omission of many bcttpi things. In my youth, In my manhood, iu my old ngo, I had fondly dreamed that when any fortunate chanco should have broken up for a while tho foundations of onr institu tions, aud relieved us from obligations the most tyrannical that ever man imposed in tho nnmo of freedom, that the intelligent, Irue and hist men of tho Republic true to their professions nnd consciences would have so remodeled nil our institutions as to hnvo freed them from every vestige of hu mnti oppression, of inequality of rights, or the recognized degradation of the poor and tho superior enste of the rich. In short, thnt no distinction would be tolerated in this purified Republic but what arose from merit and couduct. This bright dream has vanished "like the baseless fabuc of n visiou." I find that wc shall be obliged to bo content with patching up the worst portion of the ancient edifice and leaving it, in mauy of its parts, to bo swept through by tho tempests, the frosts, aud the storms of despotism. Do you inquire why, holding these views and possessing somo will of my own, I accept so imperfect a proposition ? I answer, because I live among men and not among angels among men as intelligent, as determined, and as independent as myself, who, not agreeing with me, do not choose to yield their opinions to mine. Mutual concession, therefore, is our ouly resort, or mutual hos tilities. Wc might well have been justified iu making renewed und more strenuous ef forts for a better plan could wc have had the co-operation of the Executive. With his cordial assistance, 'the rebel States might have been made model republics, and this nation an empire of universal freedom. But ho preferred restoration to "reconstruction." lie chooses that tho slave States should re main as nearly as possible in their ancient coudition, with such small modifications as ho and" his sevcu ministers should suggest, without any inipcrtimcut interference from Congress. Ho anticipated the legitimate action of tho national Legislature, and by rank usurpation erected governments in tho conquered provinces, imposed upon them institutions in the most arbitrary nnd un constitutional manner, nnd now maintains them as legitimate governments, and inso lently demands that they shall bo represen ted in Congress on equal terms with loyal and regular Slates. To repress this tyrany uud at the same thnc to do somo justice to conquered rebels requires caution. The great danger is that the secedcrs may soon over whelm the loyal men iu Congress. The haste urged upon us by somo loyal but impetuous men ; their anxiety to embrace the represen tatives of rebels ; their ambition to display their dexterity in the use of tho broad man tle of charity; and especially the danger arising from the unscrupulous use of jmt ronago aud from the oily orntions of false prophets, famous for sixty day obligations and for protested political promises, admon ish us to. mako no further delay. A few words will sullicc to explain tho changes made by the Senate in the proposition wc sent them. The first section is altered by defining who nrc citizens of the United States and of the States. This is an excel lent amendment, long needed to settle con flicting decisions between the several States and the United States. It declares this grcut prrvilcgo to belong to every person born or naturalized in tnc United States. The se cond section has received but a slight alter ation. I wish it had received more. It con tains much less power than I could wish ; it has not half tho vigor of tho amendment which was lost in the Senate. It or the proposition offered by Senator Wade would have worked the enfranchisement of the colored man in half the time. The third section has been wholly changed by substi tuting the ineligibility of certain high offen ders for tho disfranchisement of all rebels until 1870. This I cannot look upon ns au improvement It opens tho elective fran chise to such as tho States choose to admit. In my judgment, it endangers the Govern ment of the country both State aud national, aud may give the next Congress and Presi dent to the reconstructed rebels. With their enlarged basis of representation, and exclu sion of the loyal men of color from the ballot-box, I sec no hope of safety unless in the prescription of proper enabling acts, which will do justice to the freedom and enjoin enfranchisement as a condition precedent. The fourth sectiou, which renders inviolable the public debt and repudiates the rebel debt, will secure tho approbation of all but traitors. The filth section is unaltered. You perceive that while I see much good in the proposition I do not pretend to be satisfied with it. And yet I uui anxious for its speedy adoption, for I tlretill delay. The danger is thut before any constitutional question shall have been adopted Congress would bo Hooded by rebels aud rebel sym pathizers. Whoever has mingled much iu deliberative bodies must have observed the mental as well as physical nervousness of many niemocrs, impelling them too often to injudicious action. Whoever has watched the feelings of this House during the tedious months of this session, listened to tho impa tient whispering of somo nnd tho open declarations of others, especially when such oblo and siucerc tncu as the gentleman from Ohio proposo or move to gratify personal predilections by breaking the ranks of the Luiou forces and presenting to tho enemy a ragged front of stras'dcrB, must be auxious to hasten the result end prevent the demora iizauon 01 our irieuus. Jicnco, 1 say, let us no longer delay; take what wc can get now, aud hope for better things iu future legisla tion, in enabling acts ou other provisions.

Geary to tho Hon. Henry Wilson, chairman of tho Senato Military Committee, at the time of its date, as fully embodying his views. We publish the letter in full, as of public inter est: New Cumberland, Pa., May 4, 18C0. lion. II. Wihon, Chairman Military Com miltce Senate United States: Dear Sir: I trust you will rmrdon tnv intrusion upon your time for a few minutes, while I thnnk you for the valuable and effi cient nid you have given, and are still giving lit behalf of an net to equalize the bounties ot soldiers and Sailors who served during tlio war of tho rebellion ; and to civc ex pression to some views of my own upon tho subject. Having been a soldier myself, the services, sacrifices, and sufferings of tho de fenders of our national existence arc familiar to me. They perilled all to secure our land from the infamous crime of treason, and the blighting influences of slavery. Those who were the first to volunteer their services, did so without the inducements of high bounties and high wages. They came forward with hearts overflow ing with loyally, true patriotism and sacred- ness of purpose; nnd undismayed, they persevered through all its trials and vissi- tudes to the termination of a long and bloody war. Tlio war is ended, and the glory and prowess of our arms fully vindi cated. Will not, then, a grateful people award justieo to those who have defended and preserved their lives, their treasure and their nationality f The claims of such arc so prc-cmineutly just and proper, that delav or neglect i:i their prompt acknowledgment anil payuicut by the nation will not be cx cused, and will bo inexcusable I am constantly receiving communications on tho subject cl ''equalization of bounties," not only from soldicis and sailors of my own State, but from those of other States ; and my opiuion is frequently asked, with respect to its justice and practicability, As to its justice, I have uniformly replied that in my opinion, no measure could be more just or more worthy of the considera tion of Congress; and while the nation owes much to the commissioned ofiiccrs, for their untiring mental and physical cxcrtious, anxiety, courage aud responsibility, they aro in a great measure repaid by the glory of the success which has been obtained," and which iu a great degree attaches to their names ; but there is certainly something more substantial than mere thanks and gratitude duo to tho sterling rank and file, who were always present iu tho deadly strife, and whoso self-sacrificing patriotism has triumphantly sustained tho glory aud honor of the Republic. I feel that the country cannot do too much for tho patriotic services of those who durin" the lute rebellion have stood by the Union in its perils ; and, if by any act of mine, I could recompense those toil worn soldiers for their great sacrifices uud their long-tried loyalty, I would consider it the highest privilege, aud the greatest act of my life. As to the crpcilicncy or jraetieaUUtij, I perccivo that some members of Congress, although professing a desire to do justice to the soldiers, nrc fearful of injuring tho national credit and of increasing taxation by adding to the national debt some $2o0.' 000,000 or $.100,000,000, to meet the claim for the equalization of bounties. I admit tn at ttm is a large sum, am, 1 like to see members of Congress exhibit a duo regard lor pu'olic economy ; and it is certainly high ly commendable to be cautious in imposinc; improper burdens, or increasing the national inrtebtedncM, which will never bo properly aggregated until the just claims ot its de- lenucrs are awarded to them. Rut what is the sum of 230,000,000 to a nation like ours, when every principle of justice demands it to be paid to those who have rescued it from anarchy aud death ? What would this glorious Republic have been worth if its rebel destroyers had not been met and vau quished by tho soldiers who fought, and bled, and three hundred thousand of whom full it. its defence ? It is but a trifle, when wo consider tho vast resources of our conn try, look forward to the immense wealth which in a few years it is destined to possess. If the Government has not tho money to pay tins demand for bounties to our soldiers, wny could not Congress authorize the becre tary of the treasury to issue five per cent, gold bonds for all sums of $50 and upwards, payable in thirty years, making them the "Soulier s Bounty Honda" but receivable at all times iu pay ment for Government lands at par. This would enable the soldier at any tuno to exchango his bonds for public lands on nuy of the great railroad lines lead ing to tho Pacific, or in ony othci place where ho might choose to locate. This would also cause the bonds nt once to be in demand. Those who did not choose to locate in the Western States, could sell their bouds at par to those who w ished to do so, Resides, if tho soldiers should choose to take up lauds for their bonds, the country would bo certain that the great West was being filled up with a population that loved it and hud stood by it 111 the hour of its greatest need. Tho soldier-emigrant would feel, too, that his homestead was tho reward of patriotism, and his posterity after him would venerate it as such. I think that in this way the country would scarcely feel tho payment of this debt to its defenders. Tho public lands would not only thus prove a sinking fuud, but tho debt will greatly aid in their rapid settlement and development that iu a few years the bonds would bo cutirely nbsoibcd and the country the belter tor it. it would add but little to her taxation und would scarcely tliiuiiii Ji her resources. But should Cou- gross not see fit to ruuko those bonds re ceivable at ull times in payment for public lantis, tuc increase 01 tho national indebted ness, eay $230,000,000, payablo in thirty years, cau not bo looked upon as any very serious calamity. Tho ahuual increase of burden would be but $12,500,000 counting it ut 3 per cent. ; whereas, long belorc these bonds will be come due, the national wealth wil) be more man double what it now is, auu thus the burden will yearly dimiuish. 4 -.uaiiK you heartily lor tho cltorls you have made towards olilnininc instirn for lh soldier and Bailor, aud I hope that Congress will cordially co-opcrato with you in por- ' important measure.
