The Commissioner of Agriculture at Washington, in presenting his July report, congratulates the farming community upon the flattering prospect which all the great crops of the country present. The wheat crop, jest harvested, is most excellent, both in quality / and quan tity, and con crop promises to be a full one, Thougha in some localities in the West, where the drought of June has extended into July, it may not be so good. Wheat and. Barley. —These crops have been secured in excellent condition. Lo cal injuries exist, hut not to the usual ex tent. Their threshing is now being done. which will disclose some other injlries, but the re is lip', doubt that these crops are the largest eier produced in the loyal States. The Marsden Spring Wheat has en tirely failed to sustain its character in this rountry as a "spring" wheat, It is an Euglish variety, of great excellence there, and hence it was desirable to test it here. But there is a gisaist difference between the English and American climates. Al though I; ngland lies much north of the United States, yet the Gulf Stream passes, by it, and mitigates the rigors of winter by its immense heat. The English-farixter (an plough at all times of the winter, and spring wheat is sown in February and March. Their harvest is much later Ilan ours—at least six weeks—and hence their spring wheats have a season of growth double the length of our own. This is the reason of the failure of the Marsde variety, and has much to do with the frill I and perfect development of ifs beautiful grains. ( tats.—Thi s crop was greatly endanger ed by the drought of May and June. But she rain came in season, generally, to cause good heads; and although our table shows agreat jiry in •Minnesota, sobers the drought has continued, and an injury of two tenths in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, yet the general average is but two-third s of a tenth below au average crop. C'o%n•—This promises well. Although its apperance is two tenths below an aver age in the great corn producing States of Illinois, Indiana, and lowa, yet the more general distribution of rains, since the cir culars were sent to this Department, will have some itfl lance in mitigating this in jury. Tobacco —1 he crop of tobacco is but one -tenth below the average of a good crop. In Illinois and lowa it has suffered from drought, being two tenths below an average crop. The general injury is but five sixths of one per ceet. - Flar.—This product has been harvest ed, and is generally satisfactory. Its re ported condition is about the same as that of tobacco. Collor —This crop has not fared so well, it being injured by drouth. The general injury amounts to two tenths of an average crop, although it is double that in one State, and a little over it in Illinois. But its present appearance is favorable. :59rghum..—In Illinois and lowa the sorghum crop has suffered from that com mon enemy, drought. Its appearance in these States is two-tenths below an aver age. But the general average is only one tenth below a good crop. Its great abili ty to endure drought gives assurance that it well recover from this, but its perfect maturity may be retarded. The Day Crop —ln the Northern States the timothy meadews are mown twice; in toe Western, but,cjcce. The first cutting was a short crop, as seen from the June rept:rt. Bat tf e amour, of clover hay is but one -teeth below an average, and the lately mown meadows have yielded well ; but much of the hay in the Eastern States was injured from the excess of rain. The amount of ciao hay crop is more favorable than report last month, but its quality not so good. Hence it will still be advis able for farmers to secure as much corn fodder as they can. G'r.apes—The Cincinnati Horticultural Society, representing so large a p I I the grape crop of the country, has overt looked its duty when it failed to report t o this Department the condition of the crop. But we see it stated on the authoelly of ; one of its leading members that the rot has destroyed, one-half the grapes in the I vicinity of tincinnati. Corresponnents from other points report its condi dons as very favorable, and the genera} average in appearance is up to that of a ;cod crop; and the injury but one-third of atiM.enth 4f an average. IVis the dryness of California that makes I t a vine growing country so free from the iot. How far its mountain ranges and their snow-covered tops aid this healthful nfl uence of dryness has not yet been de ermined. Apples —This crop gives encouraging it-otiose generally. It is but one tenth be: ow an average, but in some States it is nnch it j /red. In Maine, Massachusetts, .nd New Jersey, it is three tenths below t; in Maryland, New Hampshire, Ohio, ennsylvania, and Nebraska 'Territory, it s two tenths below. In other States it is tery promising. Peaches.—lo Ohio, Maryland and Con.' ecticnt the peach crop is below an aver .ge crop. In lowa, Missouri, New Jer ey and Pennsylvania, two-tenths below. 'he general average is but one -tenth be- Altogethvr the present season may e placed in the lists as a good peach ear." Strawberries and Raspberries.—The tquiries in regard to these were made ith a view of ascertaining the extent of leir general cultivation. It is gratifying learn that these delicious small fruits re becoming appreciated everywhere. he injury to them from drongkt has been realer -than usual, The average price of , rawberries Was fourteen cents per quart 'raspberries, eleven cents.

GENTLEMEN" OF LYCOMING : --- You are to be commended for assembling your selves as men opposed to the Administra- Lions at Harrisburg and at Washington, and I am glad to contribute to your pro ceedings the expression ofsome iew earn est words. An issue between Power and Liberty is distinctly presented us by the policy of our rulers, and if we stand indifferent to it, or acquiesce in its decision according to the pleasure of those who aspire to be our masters, what loss and injury 1 what degradation and eternal disgrace! By liberty, ther,fore, I do not mean icense, but that regulated freedom es .:ablished by our ancestors which we have enjoyed hitherto without question, and the example of which we have held forth proudly before other nations as the re proof of their systems and the glory of our own. ' y power Ido not mean legitimat e au thority, but authority usurped and lawless, pursuing its own ends over a broken Con stitution and through the baleful flames of civil war. Between these—between power and liberty—can you hesitate in your choice? Will yon hold up a balance and Heigh, doubtfully, the arguments which sustain liberty against those which strongly oppose it Necessity—Safety—are these the magi cal words by which despotism is to he changed in character and made fit for adoption ? Shall the plea of tyrants be accepted as our standard of public rule ? Shall we concede force, and justice, and wisdom, to one of the most impudent, false and injurious doctrines ever intrud ed into the discussion of public afLiri,7 Bat there is a necessity (quite different from that one asserted on behalf of paw• er ) which we must no admit as most evi dent and urgent—. - .4 necessity that we rid ourselr•cs ft' those who plead necessity as the justification of their misdeeds. Those who cannot lawfully and justly are not to govern at all, but to give place to others. For it is monstrous to say that the inca pable and vicious, shall lord it over their fellows. The rulers who say they cannot govern by law and according to right, stand self condemned. Judged out of their own mouths, they are unfit for any rule and they should be voted out of pow er. PITTMR EU RIGS hi Gentlemen ; the greatest son of New England spent most of hie life and won his great fame in this Commonwealth.— We are proud that he became a Pennsyl vanian and took rank in our history with the illustrious man who established it "in deeds of peace. — let us try the logic of tyranny by the judgment of that great, man. Let us invitee the apologist of ar bitrary p"wer and advocate of "strong' government," who ffils'our ears with im passioned discourse upon public safety, ' and national life, and necessity, to go with us to our great commercial metro polis and there stand with us beside the modest slab which marks theresting•place of 'Benjamin and Deborah Franklin:— Oh ! how mean, and pi.iful, and low -and utterly false and destable will there sound all tho s epologies for wrong—all these pretests for ;tealing away, or taking away from the people the rights and liberties achieved for them by the great men of former days! 11..6 will hear the voice of Franklin sounding it. our ears those mem orable words of wisdom and warning which should be written up or hung in great let era wherever the people meet for consul n times of public danger : "Tuoz , o. 1 GIPS l'P ESSENTIAL LIBERTY tsE A LITTLE TEMPORARY SAFETY, ESERrE Si: TLIER LIIIERTY NOR SAFETY." Gentlemen ; your Political opponents think that patriotism should be called loy alty, and made to consist in nnconditional, utiquestioning devotion to an administra tion of the government. I believe you will agree with me that this great virtue requires no new name borrowed from the literature of monarchy ; that it is shown in devotion to the Constitution and laws of the United States, and of the several States, and that the true patriot regards public officials with a respect precisely proportioned to heir observance of law, justice and right, and to their skill, their wisdom and their honesty in the performance of their public duties. Judge your public men fairly but freely, Let no man put a padlock upon your lips, nor impose upon you any of the falee and pernicious sophieuaa of arbitrary power. An important election approaches in this commonwealth, and another important one succeeds it next year. At these you are required to judge those who have ruled or misruled you since 164;U, and to deter mine, as far as your votes w , ll go, the pol icy of the future. You need no labored exhortation 'from we to inspire you with courage, determination and Sdelity In the discharge of your electoral duties. B hold I the evils which afflict the nation and the dangers which threaten it I These exhort you, beyond art of mine, to right coons, and justify that opinion which we hold in common, that upon Democratic success in the elections just mentioned, depend the Existence of free, liberal and just government in this country ; a restor ation of Union founded in consent ; the avoidance of future wars, and the preser vation and growth of that material pros perity which results from good.government when vouchsafed to an united, industrious and virtuous people. I am, your fellow-citizen, and obedient servant. C. R. BUCKALEW Works of Franklin, by Sparks, V. pp. 107, 429, 430- This was the declaration of the Provincial Assembly of Pennsylvania, November 11, 175;5, in answer to Governor Morrii n upon the question of exempting Proprietary propery ro taxation. espite the fac of Indi t an f deer edations in D the border set t tlemei.te and the danger of extended hos tilities, the Assembly refused an appropri ation of money for military purposes un less the same should be raised or repaid in a just manner, by placing the burden equally upon the property and resources of the colony.

BECKALEWS LETTER TII ESu be titution of the musket for the ballot in Delaware and K.entncky has led many thinking men to anticipate and fear that it is the intention of the party in power to perpetuate its hold upon cllice by the same or similar uns2rupulous means, and by means of the army to prevent el ections or control their result, if not in. deed to inaugurate an avowed military despotism. Such a course is not without precedent in this history of the world, as the following extract from Secretary Seward's speech at La Crosse, Wiittonsin, three years ago, plainly shows: What kind of a government would it be if we elected a man we did not like instead of a man we did like? hly impression is that i.,t woald be a government not differ• ing very far from the Empire of Ai:stile, where they always manage to elect a man whom the people do not like, and where they have an admirable way' saritag the Union by organizing an army of :Am oun men, armed to the teeth, to maintain the man whom they DO NOT LIKE. A Good Name. The Abolition party has a good name. It is an Abolition party in fact. It has abolished the Constitution of the United States. It has abolished the good feeling which bound the North and South togeth er. It has abolished the Union of these States. It has abolished the habeas rorpu.v. It has abolished the right of trial by jarj• It has abolished the gold and silver from our midst. It has abolished low price 3 for all articles of domestic use. It has abolished the lives of tens of thousands of brave men, It has abolished peace and security throughout the land. It has abolished the respect we com manded abroad as a nation. It has. in fine, abolished about all it can abolish, and the next thing it will abolish will be itself.—Somerset Union. Mr. Vallandigham and the 7Adk.gan - • The radical nawspap...rs feed their read• ere daily upon the silliest fictions. Just now they are trying to make it appear that Mr. Vallandigham, when exiled at the South communicated such information to General Morgan as encouraged him to undertake his recant disastrous raid. Gen. Burnside has not done half so much for our arms as he who persuad.d Morgan to cross the Ohio, but that Mr. Vallandigha m did so none bat shallow and credulous fa natics believe. Mr. Vallandigham, when Newark, N. J. last February, gave his only invita tion to Southern generals: "It they invade us we will write for "them precisely the same history they "have written for us for the last two years "and then give them Run upon our own ' "soil." t a curious fact, by the by, that Morgan after traveling a thousand miles, and more in General Barnside's department ; and, indeed, after passing within seven miles of that ferocious warrior's headquarters, was at last captured out of his department and in Mr, Vallandigham's native coun try, six miles from his ilavtive town, and in a strong Vallawdigham township ot Columbia county.: If Mr. V., was his pi lot he piloted UM to the proper place for hie eapture.—"World. Conspiracy on Foot to Break Up the Rouse of Representatives at W ashington. The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Times thus sounds the note of alarm: The eh trheeeephetopelleeetoientgmhtfetor ``There i is another very serious matter b n e re wa. lati r o n n ed to members of Congress make it probable that there will be a mejority in the next Rouse of "Repregentatives in opposition to the AdministallOn. It will be a very small mejority, but still a majority, and Ilkley would have the power to elect the Speaker. The Administration hav e t a k en means to - prevent this. Whet. Congress assembles, men will present the. elves from all the districts in the Som-hern States now occupied by our troope, asd will Cairn to be Union men tlycted Congress by Union men in those districts. Arrangements have been made to have eudh men seat from North Carolina, Ar kansas, Louisiana, the western part of Ten nessee and Florida. These men will re ally have been elected , but it will be by an election held and cootroaed by military force, and at which no one will have been allowed to vote except tools of the Admin tratihn. I need not say the voice of peo ple of the States I have named will not be heard or expressed in these elections at all. Bat the ere4in el thus elected will come to Washington, and will demand seats in the house of Representatives. The utmost power of the Administration will be exercised in order to have them ad mited to seats. The money of the Federal Treasury will be used in lavish profusion to effect this end. If it is affected, if these men, even if five of them are admitted, it will turn the balatee, and Ref übli cans' will elect the next Spea4ter. Al ready, by the juggling of last Congress of Passing the bill for the dismemberment of the State of Virginia, the Administration has created for itself two votes in the United states senate. The dismember ment game will be tried again in this Congress. For every State thus disinem herd the administration gains two new votes in the Senate." Such a performance as that would be as great an outrage and as great a revolution in the gorernment as the disposal cf it a la Napoleon by arms d force. It can not be submitted to. "the Short Haired" in Luck. According to the Troy Whig, Morrissey, the renowned pugilist, has had a splendid season at Saratoga., He had a magnificent season of it b,lore he went up to Sarato ga. lie knew Corn. Vanderbilt's Har lem ropes, and he beat the City Hall Junta to the extent of $5::,000 clear pro fits on Harlem stocks. He went up to Saratoga and opened a "sporting-saloon' and a race coarse. The saloon was on a cross street, near the United States. He paid $lO,OOO for furnishing the establish ment, and the rent of the building is in proportion. He sets three tables a day, all free to the elect. His dinners were the best of the resort (free to the invited)— his game and the campagne unrivalled.— None but the select tew could get in.— More than once the ownership of fifteen milli Ins of carital had his legs under iNior risey's mahogany. A clergyman of this city, a devotee of the pugilist, brought to the latter's table several clerical through his kind but geherdly warmly so licited introductions. Morrissey's hoer' tality was principally divided between cap• tat divinity and the turf. The turf paid well—he is the owner in chief of the new and magnificent race-course. He has s.'y eral horses in hand; two of them alone he has been offered $17.000 for, and which $2O 000 would not buy. Ha has one which $12,000 would not buy. He has another that he will put to the pole cu a $2.5,000 wager, against any other horse in the United States, '•or any other man."

He is reported to have died at Selm. Ala bama, on some day of last week, of some casual disease, at the age of about 44.-- He was, we believe, born in Philadelphia, but was at all events, a Pennsylvanian and of Quaker parentage. Lie was grad uated at West Point Military Academy in 18:;7, and entered the United States Ar my as Second Lieutenant in the 4.11 Ar tilleDy, being promoted to a First Lieu tenancy in March, 1842. He was present at the battle of Monterey as Aid-de-camp to Gen. Worth, which office he held du ring the Mexicau War, and was breveted Captain for his conduct in that action, and at Molino del Rey was breveted Major. He distinguiehed himself at Contreras and Churnbneco, and at the capture of the City of Mexico, where he wee wounded. His rang of Captain was confirmed in 1 , 50. and he left the Army in 1861, en tering the rebel service as a Brigadier General, from wnich rank he attained to that of Lieutenant General, which he held at the time of hie death. He was remar kable, chiefly as the Commanding Officer at Vicksburg, when that post was besieg ed by, and surrendered to Major General Chant, after a most obstinate and pro longed defense, Being of Northern birth, the rebels suspected his loyalty to their cause, and openly accused him of treacherously betraying them. Drafted Men Entitled to Bounty. A section in the act (the Draft, act) for "enrolling and calling out the national forces," has strangely enough, escaped at tention.
