Milling crops. - GRAIN.—It is with itiincere regret thal We advert to the present disastrous state of the harvest in M aryland. The period for cutting' the wheat crop commenced about :ten or twelve days ago, witha, adritrospect, generally speaking, of at least an average . but since the p period alluded to there been an almost unintermitted ftiltof rain, th numerous showers in which it literally de , rended in ton ents. , The heat duri .1 tium ti m e hag itlao belM :Oppreoisive.: This psoulierly injti 'oto state . of the wektther has 'rug AN prevailed generally - throughout the Eastern Shore counties, and also in Baltimore and Harford; but in reference to the western and south-western - districts of the State no positive information has as yet been rece►v,- ed. In many places, the wheat has sprout.- ed, and we saw to-day several sprouted heads taken from sheares cut more than a week ago, which showed that the cropin question was now totally valueless. Should the ver bal accounts which have - been received be verified by actual results, it will not be far from the truth to estimate the loss of the wheat crop at full one,hafff. THE WHEAT CROP.—The Cambridge (Md.) Chronicle, of the `2,d inst. confirms its previous unfavorable anticipations as to the 1V heat Crops of that county. At the best they are not like to rove more than half an average one. ie wet and cloudy weath er, coming as it has, in the midst of harvest it is feared will. reduce the value of the crop even below that estimate. Throughout the Eastern Shore (says that paper) we have too much reason to believe, the wheat crop will full short one half. APPOINTMENT BY c, T ‘ l v ll.l PRESIDENT. • - .. ..1143A51 N.

Gouver- _ neUr, where he had resided for nearly a The event has been for some time past expected, and, for the last few days mo twelvemonth past; during a great part of which time his health was obviously dud rap- mentardy looked for. Hia spirit was per idly sinking under an accumulation of milled to linger in the body until his coun unties. try's birth-day came, and departed while — a His death had for several days been _ . . . [toady expected, but it-pleased of to prolong the fl ickering flame of life, until' the tifty4ifth anniversary of that independ ence of which he had been one of the prin cipal founders and supporters, and by its ex-' tinetion then, to add another impressive cir cumstance ',43 those which stamp the Fourth of July as the most memorable day in the history of the world. By a coincidence which has no parallel, three of the four Pre sidents of the United. States who have lefts the scene of their usefulness, and their glo : ry, expired on the anniversary ofthe nation al birth day—a day, which of all others, had it been permitted them to choose, would probably have been selected fur the .terndi nation of their career; and a day which hap pily thus acquiies a more hallowed charac ' ter, by being at once the anniversary of our national independence, and the deatikof the men who' h : stood conspicuous among to , whose wisdom planned, whose &nue' 'es tablished, and whose lives and pre pis tend-ter perpetuate it. Of MONROE, we may,h6:e well repeat what was said in this Jraper -of ,jEFFER. ' "Over the death of this distinguish ed man we cannot grieve: he has gone to his .rest on the day and the -hour he wished, . after seeing himself surrounded by millions of grateful-hum:l n mon with the other patriots of the Revolu 'lion, had contributed to render free and hap. , py,and independent." J4I:3IES MONROE was born on 'Monroe's Creek,-Westmoreland County, Virginia, in September 1'758; the precise day we have been unable to ascertain. He was descend ed from a respectable S.Cetch family, distin- , . guished for its loyalty. and patriotism. His ancestor,who Came to•t4is. country iu 175, • • - 'of Charles-I. was rewarded for his fidelity with a grant of land by Charlps IL His father was Spence Monroe, a farmer in .the County of Westmoreland. His miither , was a sister of the late Judge Jones of Virginia. • James" lonroe waseducated at the College of William and Mary, and subsequently studied law in the office - of Mr. Jefferson. On the. first breaking oat of the 'Re vdlufion he entered the army as a volunteer, and be fore he was eighteen years old had encoun tered all the rigors and privations of the camp. He accomFranied Gen. Washington in his celebrated retreat through New Jor. sey, and volunteered to join in the attack on the Hessians at Trenton. He was at that period a Lieutenant in the Company Of Capt. Washington,: and on the fall of his superior was called upon to assume the command. He was subsequently wounded in the engage meat while charging two pieces of the ene mies artillery. lii Col. •Trumbull's paint. ing of the "Capture of- the Hessians," Lieut.

While we write, minute gupsvare firing, and the bells tolling; and the ad solemnities due r to the honored rein= ills of one of the very "last of the Ro- pails" will soon succeed the festivites of yesterday. The moral illustration this af fords is too striking to need being pointed out. Mr. Monroe's biography is written in the annals;o4his country; and the events.of his life-are connected with those prominent in the pages (Aber history, from the time when, while yet a youth, he bled ,in her service at I Trenton, until recently he sat in the Con - - vention which amended the constitution of his native State.

In September last he lost his wife, long the cherished com panion of his prosperity.. as well an of hi adversity. Embarrassments and afflittions no doubt contributed to hasten, his decease. His desire of returning to Virginia, and there closing his days, was often and earnestly expressed. We learn that he retained all his mental faculties to the last, and was per fectly composed and calm. When the noise of firing began at mid night, he opened his eyes inquiringly, and when the cause was communicated to him, a look of intelligence indicated that he un derstood what the occasion .- was. There can be little doubt that the simultaneous de parture of his two Predecessors do the same day was present to his mind. DIED, , Near Canton, Ohio, on the 15th ult.
