WORTHY OF
FINLEY JOliNsuN
CROPS IN TIM NORTH WEST.—The weather
during the week has been moderately warm,
varied by several heavy thund, r showers—and
on the whole quite favorable. for the growing
corn crop. Ten, days more of warm, forcing
weather will place the corn inthe northern. cart
of this State and lowa, beyond the reachof frost.
The crop in some of the southern counties has
suffered from drought ; but in the central part
of the State it looks strong and healthy, and
promises a heavy yield.
The advices from all parts of. this State, as
well as from Wisconsin and. lowa, with .reward
to the wheat crop—all agree in one, pOint—that
the yield is not nearly as good as was expected.
Along the line of the Galena and Chicago Rail
road and its brandies, the crop only threshes
out about ten bushels to the acre—while last
year the yield, was about thirty bushels. . The
same is partly true of the country along the
lines of the Rock Island and the Burlington
railroads, and also through the center of the
State. From Wisconsin and lowa we hear the
same story over and over again of a deficiency
when thrashed, From some point's we have
complaii, is also in regard to the quality ; but
this is less general, and judging from the quali
ty of the receipts at this point, there cannot
be much grounds for dissatisfaction in this par
ticular.
But taking the'reports from all sections, there
can scarcely'be doubt of a great deficiency, as
compared with last year. Some estimate the
crop at two thirds of an everage ; but nearly all
agree that it will not exceed half of the crop of
1860.—Chicago hibune.
A cotemporary announces " the death of Mrs.
Charles Astor Bristed, the excellent and accom
plished wife of the well known Carl Benson.'
Mrs. Bristed expired at her residence at Baden
Baden, Germany, on Monday, August 6, of a
complicated heart disease. She was a woman
of great personal and mental attractions,
which
she inherited from both her parents, (the late
Henry Brevoort, of New York, and Laura Car
son, of South Carolina,) as well as a most en
chanting sweetness and gaity of disposition. In
Baden she was universally loved and respected:
The inhabitants and residents attended her fu
nel al with almost regal hondrs ; members of the
Diplomatic corps came from a distance to be
present at the ceremony, and ladies of the high
est aristocracy followed the procession to the
grave. She was but thirty-seven years of age,
and in the zenith of her matronly bloom and
beauty. Her loss will be severely felt in the
brilliant circles of which she was so bright an
ornament.
GREAT. Guss.—The Union Gun at Fortress
.
Monroe is 12 inches in diameter, and being
rfled, carries an elongated shot weight as' the
round ball of Rodman's 15-inch gun, which is
425 lbs. These two guns, the 12-inch rifled
and the 15-inch smooth-bore, are the most pow
erful pieces of ordnance that have ever yet been
made ; that is, in modern times, though Louis
XI had a gun which threw a stone ball equal in
weight to 1,200 pounds, and Mahomet,
breached the walls of Constantinople in 1449
with a gun and balls of this description.
The introduction of iron plated ships has wade.
it very desirable for sea-coast defense to have
enormous cannon, the shots from which would
break the iron plates to pieces. But, until
Rodman's improved mode of casting was invent
ed, it was impossible to make large. cannon
strong enough to bear the charges required to
give effective velocity to balls weighing 400 lbs.
FATAL ACCIDENT.-A painful and sad gloom
was cast over our community on last Saturday
evening, on receipt of a telegram from Broad
Top, announcing that Joseph H. Thompson, of
this borough, had been fatally injured by a car
running off the track on a switch-back leading
to the mines. Several other persons were slight
ly injured at the same time. Mr. Thompson
was severely cut and bruised, and lingered in
great pain until about half-past ten o'clock,
when death kindly loosed the silver cord. • The
deceased was a returned volunteer, having serv
ed three months in the ranks of the Standing
Stone Guards. He leaves a wife, three children
and a large circle of friends to mourn his tin
timely ead. May that God who " tempers the
wind to the shorn lamb" be their friend in this
sad hour of their affliction.—Huntingdon Aurnal
REOEIPD3 OP TH:EI A/REIMAN BOARD OE FOREIGN
MISSIONS.—The receipts of the American Board
for August have reached the sum of $45,000.--
The amount usually received for that month
has been from $lO,OOO to $12,000. Two lega
cies amounting, to $17,000, have been received,
which are included in the sum stated above.
The financial year closes with Saturday, and the
debt will not be over $40,000. This is very
much less than was expected, and the, friends. of
the cause, are very much gratified to find the
sum so small. It was feared, two months ago,
that it would reach the sum of $70,000. The
meeting of the Board will be held in Cleveland,
October Ist.
ON SUNDAY morning, as Mr. Henry Smith, of
Walpole, Mass., was drawing a bncket of water,
holding in one arm his little girl, eighteen
months old, the child sprang suddenly forward
to seize the chair, lost her balance, and fell into
the well. The father ran into the cellar, from
which there Was an opening into the well, the
water being only about eighteen inches deep.
She lay in the water two or three minutes, and
was lifeless when taken out.
IN one of the companies now being raised in
Cincinnati for Fremont's command there is an
old man who witnessed the burning of Moscow.
He has also three nephews in the company.—
The Captain at first refused to take the veteran,
but he insisted on going "to teach his nephews
how to fight." He says he can stand fire as
well as any young man in the regiment.
A QUESTION or CONTRABAND —Some time ago,
a number of persons were indicted, at Chicago,
for aiding contrabands to escape from service.
In every instance, we believe; it is ascertained
that the 'owners of the slaves are rebels. The
Attorney General has, we understand, ordered
the indictments to be dismissed, and the defend
ants discharged from custody and their bonds.
It is probable the same course will be pursued
in relation to similar indictments elsewhere.
REBEL FICIEON ExpuEsses.—The New York
Loader reports the arrest of agents of the rebels
in New York, and the discovery of a carrier
pigeon communication from the suburbs of that
city with Richmond. A pigeon was shot by a
rifleman, and under the bird's wing was an im
portant dispatch on ita way south. A shed
somewhere on Long Island was used as a start
ing point for the pigeons.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16
The advance of a large reconnoitring force of
Confederate troops in the neighborhood of Balls
Crosaßoadii,!tind the dsistructkin.i . of the Pro
perty of known Union men were renewed this
morning. They drove in our pickets to within
half a mile of the roads so as to get possession
of a house occupied by a colored man named
Lem Bennett, Which they burnt to the ground.
Bennett and his wife were captured two weeks
ego and taken south.
The names of those Who have suffered by the
torch of the enemy are Basil Hall, whose house
is loCated a mile and a quarter to the right of
tir cross roads. Everything perishable belong
ing to him was destroyed, excepting six cows,
Which our troops succeeded in bringing away
this morning. His loss is six thousand dollars.
This was the.house alternately occupied by the
confederate pickets and our own: Mr. Hall
says he previously suffered much from the des
truction of his finniture by the members of the
Dekalb New York regiment for which he has
made out a bill of damages against the Govern
naent. Mr. Whipple and Thomas and Samuel
Burch also suffered by fire—the. conflagration
being extended to all know Union men. The
dwelling of C. H: Upton, near Falls Church, is
Spared, as the confederates occupy it and have
a large force in that vicinity.
The position of affairs at Munson's Hill re
mains' unchanged. No large force is visible
from this side of the entrenchments.
• In a skirmish last night near Ball's Cross
Roads it is feared that a Lieutenant in the Third
yermont regiment, and three, privates in the
inth Massachusetts regiment whose names
qould not be obtained, were taken prisoners as
they are missing.. One of our men was wounded.
From a prominent position'on the Vir : ginia side
of the river to-day a dense column of smoke,
was -seen in, the direction of Fairfax Court
House. The confederates were evidently burn
ing the woods in that direetion around their
fertificatiorie. Nearly all the regiments in the
neighborhood of Arlington Heights • and Chain
Bridge were out under arms during all last
night. The artillery practice is duly continued
at the forts. .
The Lincoln cavalry composed of two com
panies from Pennsylvania, one from Michigan
and nine from New Yoik, is now thoroughly
organized, and the field and staff officers having
been sworn in as follows : Col. ill'Reynolds,
Lieut. Col. Van Schihfuss, formerly of the Prus;
. 8611 army ; Majors C. H. Ogle, late of the regu

two of the companies, in New York, and

ter Master, E. H. Bailey, formerly of Michigan;
Chaplain, Rev. Ralegh, latterlY of Newark, N.
J, an old and intimate friend of Col. Kelley
nolds.
The skirmish of pickets which took place near
Bull's Cross "Wads, in . Virginia, was not a se
rious affair. The accounts of it have been
greatly exaggerated. Our troops simply retired
from Hall'a house at nightfall, as usual.
Mr. Sickles: .yesterday arrested two rebel of
ficers at a point twenty miles down the Poto
mac..
Our troops practised with heavy artillery at
the Chain Bridge yesterday morning. The fir
ing was rapid and well sustained.
The Maryland rebels are closely watched by
General' Dix, who does not intend that they
shall commit overt acts of treason. A day or
two since a secessionist meeting at Rockville
was broken up by a detachment of our troops,
sent by the General for that purpose: ,
The militia of the District of Columbia are
preparing for active scram. A full regun — eat is
now organized and will soon be sworn in.
• A company of gentlemen, lately engaged in,
the banking business in New York, have just
completed their arrangements for opening a new ,
banking house in this city.
Prominent citizens at Baltimore who are now

U. 8. STEAMIKEC PAWNEE, .t
Llagergs Inlet, Sept. 10, 1861.
SIR :-I have to state for the information of
the Department that I have taken a valuable
prize this morning, now called the Susan Jane
of Nevis, West Indies.
This schooner, was called the Charles McOlees
when she cleared at Newborn, N. C., two days
before the blockade went into effect on the coast.
She took a cargo of spirits of turpentine. to the
West Indies,. and at Charleston, Nevis. Island,
obtained an English register, but without a bill
of sale or an en harsement of any kind on the
part of the master or agent, and without auy
other.paper required under the English law.
She sailed from Nevis to Halifax, N. S., and
there took on board an assorted cargo consist
ing of blaak.ets, cloth, iron, steel, brogans, axes,
&c., all of which were purchased in New York
and Boston, as is shown by the bills of lading
from different houses in those cities. I will
send the prize to Philadelphia or New York at
the discretion of the. Prize Master, Lieutenant
Crosby, so he may be authorized to enter the
port most accessible at this stormy period of the
year.
I send all the papers , found on board the
prize in charge of Lieut. Crosby, to be handed
to the proper admiralty officer. Capt. Ireland
and four of the crew 'I shall detain fur the pre
sent, and two passengers, believed to be super
cargoes, and,also the mate. When this duty is
completed, I have to request that Lieut. Crosby
may be'permitted to return to his important
duties at this place as post captain, under the
order of Gen. Wool. I send Capt. Crosby on
