The corn crop may be set down as an aver
age
throughout the entire north-western
States. and as fur as Wisoonsin is concerned,
the wheat crop is excellent, supposed to be
equal to that of last year. It is said that
much of last. year's crop still remains unsold.
Chicago is unquestionably the greatest grain
m urket in the United-States. It is the receiv
ing " granary " for six mighty States. In
vi,w of t his fact no one need wonder at the
growth of this city. In 1842 it was but a',
small town, now it numbers one hundred
thousand inhabitants, and has already estab
lished a line of vessels direct to Europe, .of •
which the seventh has already sailed. This
fact bids - fair to open up a. new phase in com
mercial prosperity, MO establish au indepen
•ey of action that will undoubtedly prove highly
advantageous to its enterprising .citizens.
Heretofore, the whole trade of this city has
been monepolizedhy Ndw York, and has aided
~
much in controlling the, immense importation
of the " Grdat West "'to centre in that me- '
tropMis. • But a new rival has appeared in the .
field, and 'a fierce struggle will SOOll take
place., Already the muttering of angry pas.;
pions is heard in the defiant scream of the
iron horse, as he glides Mit; the shadow of the
stionner cloud across the broad breast of the
grand Prairie, or perhaps in the petty annoy
ances that beset travellers who dare choose to
travel on the Pittsburg, Port Wayne and Chi- .
cage Railroad. "Passenger4.by this road are

would be forced to the conclusion that, the
good old tittles of Scottish story were present
again. The angry clannish 'cry is here in'all.
its intensity. The shrill pibroch alone is

loud shout goes-up,-- " Brave-Ilimilas whom -

Chevy Chase' lives among the memories of
the past. Again another crowd s , fast in the -

" brave Lincoln and the oppressed go free,"

" Scott's Lady of the Lake " glides by in her
•• bonny boat" and disapper rs in tho,dim 'vista '

and warmth that few have witnessed. The
