Editor of the Courier: Dear Sir The season of the year has arrived when much anxiety exists as to the prospects of the crop, and not being one of those wishing to give unnecessary alarm I have postponed my letter until this late day, to see if others would not communicate to you various facts bearing directly on the present Tobacco crop in this section of the country, and to see if my views would be corroborated by each succeeding day. By perusing your columns I find nothing in relation to it, and up to this day nothing has occurred to change my views of ten days ago, in relation to the crop. Upon inquiry I find that not a great deal more is planted than waB last year; much more was aimed at which caused a great many planters to miss getting ready their usual quantity of ground ior the first and only good planting season we have had, which was about a month ago. Various showers have since fallen, but not enough to perpetuate the life of plants set out in them. In fact, every effort since about the first of July (the time above alluded to) to procure a stand for plants, has been attended with poor success.

Much of it is dead and lhat livinglooks sickly. These remarksare more appropriate to old ground than new, suiting very well, however, in either case. You will at once see that replanting, as is usual, was of no avail, and to say that every tenth plant is missing is no exaggerition, growing out of the fact that the weather succeeding the rain was intolerably warm, killing all that did not take immediate root. One would suppose from the very low stage of the various watercourses in the Tobacco growing regions, and the universal complaint of exceedingly warm weather, that the foregoing ib pretty much the experience and testimony of all Tobacco growers several gentlemen from the Evansville Congressional District in Indiana, who assure us that there is not a reasonable doubt of the defeat of Judge Lockhart, the Locofoco candidate for Congress. There is no district in the West that has a deeper interest in the success of our river and harbor bill, that was defeated at the last session, than that in which the flourishing city of Evansville is located.

Judge Lockhart, sur rendering his own convictions of duty and justice to the West, preferred yielding obedience to the Mo loch of party, and has assumed a position upon the question of river and harbor improvements, which, if he adhered to in Congresss, would prevent his voting an appropriation for any other Western river than the Mississippi. As his district is watered on one side by the beautiful Ohio, the people whom he seeks to rep resent are called upon to vote for a man who stands pledged to resist their most important interests, and to oppose their clearest constitutional rights. It is not, therefore, to be wondered at, as our informants assure us, that hundreds of Democrats in that district who believe Gen. Jackson did not violate the Const! tution in approving river and harbor bills that went much farther than the one defeated last winter intend voting for and supporting the Whig candidate who is running against Lockhart. Albertson was thrown over by the Locofoco convention for opposing this river and harbor bill, and it would be inconsistent in the extreme, if they should now elect a man more ultra in his opposition to such appropriations, than Albertson ever was, whom the convention discarded that put Lockhart in nomination.

The Whigs in Indiana never were better organised orin finer spirits, and they will achieve a victory present appearances, in August coming, that will en title her to the lhanks and gratitude of the whole na tion. Julian, the Locofoco Abolitionist, is gone beyond a peradventure. His fate is sealed, and Parker, the national Whig, who pledges himself to stand by the compromise measures, is certain of being elected. Institution for the Deaf mid Dumb at Danville, Kentucky. The following extract is from a communication by a correspondent of a Huntsville (AlaJ paper, giving an account of a visit to the above institution.

The writer, however, is mistaken as to "the grant made for the farther endowment of the Asylum." The Legislature refused an earnest application for the comparatively small appropriation of $1,400, to enlarge an apartment necessary for the accommodation and comfort orthe female pupils: "The Institute now nu'i-bers fifty-eight students, nearly equally divided as to sex. among whom I was happy to see my estimable, intelligent, and youthful friend, Richard Kavanaugh, of Huntsville, Alabama, whose aptness in acquiring a knowledge of all the branches here taught, as well as the facility with which he communicates instruction to his fellow students, and converses generally, was a matter of astonishment to me, as it is the theme of general remark in this community. On account of his appearance and fascinating address, added to his astonishing advancement in reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, he was the select representative student to appear before the Legislature of the Commonwealth, at its last session, as a specimen of the importance of this institution to the public, when a grant of $20,000 wag made for the furth endow ment of the Asylum, under the judicious management ol its worthy president, Mr. Jacobs, and his condjutors, Messrs. Kerr and Blount.

Mr. Editor, I do not mean to say that others hive not made rapid progress, by tho notice I have taken of young Kavanaugh; far from it; for while he has advanced so far as to place himself above the mediocrity of his fellow unfortunates, vieing ever with most students possessing their entire senses, they too have done commendable, all being able to read and converse with such ease and readiness, as to cause in our mind a partial obliviousness of their misfortune. Of thisbenevolent work of my native State, I feel proud, and it has done much to palliate other errors. uOf it the full heart of every friend of humanity must cry eut, "Esto per-ptttta." Messrs. McGregor Lee, of Cincinnati, received a contract for twenty thousand mail locks, from among some sixty samples and bidders, the re maining ten thousand being awarded to some Eastern bidder.

This looks well for the West, and only goes to show that we can compete successfully with the older States in manufacturing if we set to work to do so. At the lettings for mail bags, some weeks since, a citizen of our own State, from Frankfort, was the successful contractor for all the horse mail bags advertised for by the Department. We take great interest in tiie success of everything of this kind, for with our present and increasing railroad facilities, and cheap rates of living, there is nothing to prevent the West from becoming the Lowell of the Union. Drknnon Springs. The steamer Blue Win starts from the city wharf at 6 o'clock this afternoon for this delightful watering place, and we commend a trip on her to those who wish to escape the heat and dust of the city.

Drennon is certainly one of the most attractive spots in Kentucky. An esteemed friend now sojourning there, in a private note to us, thus speaks of the place and its arrangements: Throckmorton Raine have gone thoroughly into the work of renovation, and I vouch for it, the votaries of pleasure will find this romantic retreat exactly to their taste, before they are done with it.

For the Louisville Couiier. Dr.

R. J. Breckinridge. There is one office, the incumbency of which depends upon the coming August elections, the importance of which is likely, I apprehend, to be overlooked, or but partially appreciated, amid the heat and strife of the political campaign. In a moral point of view, there is perhaps no office in this Commonwealth of more dignity, more influence, more lasting and vital interest, and in filling which more strictly patriotic considerations should decide votes, than that of Superintendent of Public Instruction.

The interests that gather round it, that interweave themselves with it, and depend absolutely upon it, are the dearest interests of every parent in Kentucky the interests of hi, children. With the present generation of adult men and women, their education, so far as schools can give it, is finished. They can learn no more in this world, 6ave those great life-lessons that experience only can teach. With our children it is different. All of the great and stupendous future that lies before us, whether as regards our country, our State, as a unit, or the members of the social body, as individuals, depends upon the proper cducation of our children.

The common school system in Kentucky has just passed through a trying and terrible ordeal a contest lor life and death a etruggle against au unfortunate misconception, or misconstruction, on the part of the State Executive. During this contest, absolutely everything, not merely as rogards the temporary prosperity, but the actual existence of the system, hung upon the hands, theheadof one man. Amis-take in management, an error in judgment, even a weakness in argument, had all been alike fatal; for death itself is not more certain than the fact, that had the present Superintendent failed last winter, in the gigantic ettort he made to establish permanently the system, against the misapprehension of the Governor, the whole common school system, d. prived at once of more than half its pecuniary support, would have fallen to pieces, hopelessly, The office of Superintendent is now elective, and several excellent and worthy gentlemen have announced themselves candidates to fill it. This, how ever, is a case where we want no new, untried, or inexperienced men.

There is an imperative necessity for all that great mental ability, uutiring devotion to duty, and an intimate acquaintance with the details of that duty can accomplish. The school system is successfully working that is a fact undeniable spite of the prejudices of many, the obstacles accidentally or intentionally thrown in its way, the difficulties resulting from its novelty, and the inexperience of even its best friends: spite of all this, the thing is in the full tide of successful experiment. The raw and scattered materials, prepared by the labors of former Superintendents (themselves able men), have been gathered together, like the dry bones in the vision of the Life has been breathed into the mass; it has risen to its feet; und the commouschool system oi Kentucky now stands forth, a living and success ful contradiction or the old Abolitionist aphorism, that "common schools can never flourish in tlave States. From a mere nucleus of less than seven hundred schools and thnty thousand pupils, all told, the system has been expanded into the production of results almost incredible, since the last annual report shows the actual existence and operation of more than three thousand seven hundred schools, with over one hundred and seventy-eight thousand scholars. The Legislature has been persuaded to restore to the school fund a sum of over a million of money, with back interest; a system of finance has been invented and arranged; a great constitutional battle has been fought, establishing the school system, it is to be hoped, beyond the reach of future contingencies; throughout the State, those friendly to common schools have been roused to action, those who were indifferent have been made friendly, and those who were hostile eitner won over or utterly defeated and an this within three years.

KERRICK. 1 W. D. MELONE. Locofoco inconsistency in tlieir opposition to the River and Harbor bill.

We had laid aside an Indiana Locofoco paper con taining a violent article against the river and harbor bill defeated at the last session of Congress, by the conspirators in the Senate, which paper enumerated as among the most flagrantly unconstitutional provisions of thai bill, the appropriations therein contain ed for the Wabash, Tennessee and Illinois rivers. We regret the more the loss of this paper, as we wished to answer the constitutional objection of the Indiana Locofcco, by an argument of an Illinois Locofoco, now the most prominent Candida" of that party for the Presidency. As, however, it will not be denied that the Locofocos who oppose the bill for river and harbor appropriations as it passed the last House of Representatives, contend that the Illinois, Tennessee and Wabash rivers are not of that national character as to justify Congress appropriating anything for their improvement, we purpose to show what the Hon. Stephen A. Douglass, of Illinois, thinks upon this subject He is as ultra a party man as can well be found; he is a sound jurist, as shown while performing the functions of both Circuit Judge, and a Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of Illinois; he is orthodox in his political faith, or he would not now be the most prominent candidate among our opponents for the nomination of his party for the Presidency; hence we conclude that his opinions must have weight with his own party.

Now let us see what he has had to say upon the nationality of the Illinois liver, and the constitutionality of an appropriation by Congress for its improvement. When the House bill of the last session was pending in the Senate, and the disunionists of the Soulh, and one or two abolitionists at the North, had conspired together to talk against time to prevent its passage, Mr. Haralin, of Maine, a Locofoco free soiler, moved to strike out the following appropriation: "And far the improvement of the Illinois and Tennessee rivers. 50,000 each." This was a shell thrown into the camp of Judge Douglass, which he had no idea ofsuffering to explode without an effort to cut off theuse. He ac cordingly meets this attempt of Mr.

Hamlin, the free soil Locofoco chairman of the committeo on commerce in the Senate, to destroy the appropriation for the Illinois river, with '-he following remarks. They are taken from the Washington Union, as reported by the Senate's reporter for that paper and the Intelligencer: Mr. Douglas. If the chairman of the committee on commerce, who submits this motion, intended to bring this bill to the estimates of the President of the United States and the Administration, he would accomplish that object better by submitting the motion at once, and let us by one vote so directly to that point. I am not willing to cut off one branch at a time, and run the hazard of cutting ff one and then retaining others not provided for in the estimates, and thus do injustice to the most important works in the bill.

I rise for the purpose of saying one word in this connexion in regard to the Illinois river. I think if there is any work which is national, in connexion with the Mississippi river, it is that. The navigation in the Illinois river, the larger portion of um yeiir. is us perieel as in iyi Ississippi. It IS true that there are a few temporary obstructions; but the Illinois river is a bett navigable stream by nature than the Ohio; it remains navigable a large portion the year, and can be improved with much less expense.

Tt has a degree of nationality attached to it over and above most of the other rivers, from the fact that it is the connecting link between the great line oflakesandthe Mississippi river the connecting link between the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Guif of Mexico. It is the link that connects those great waters together, and makes most of the States of this Union an island. Sail vessels have sailed fmm the port of Chicago, on Lake Michigan, through the canah into the Illinois river, then down the Mississippi river to the Gulf of Mexico, and then upon the ocean to foreign countries, within the last year. This is the great connecting link between these inland soas; and if there is any one stream that is entirely and fully national, it is this Illinois river which forms that connexion.

I therefore trust that this will not be stricken out. If the bill is to be passed, these works, which have strong claims upon the public as national works, ought to be included. And, sir, here I will remaik, 1 shall give no vote with reference to embarrassing this bill no vote for the purpose of making an amendment that will embarrass it. My people are too much interested in improvements to be made for me to give a vote of that kind. It is sufficient for me to give this bill a fair chance, to try to bring it to correct principles, and, if I fail in that, to give a vote against the entire bill, and not embarrass it by amendments which do no good to my principles, but which may do injury to my constituents." Now there is not an argument made use of by-Douglass in favor of the Illinois River, that will not apply with equal force to both the Wabash and Ten-nesse rivers.

The two latter are just as much 'connecting links" between important and diflerent seo-tions of this Union, as is the Illinois; and their improvement as muc a matter ofnational importance, so far as commerce is concerned, as the river that divides the bailiwick of Judge Douglass. It will therefore be seen, that what an Indiana Locofoco urges as a constitutional objection to the River and Harbor bill of last session, an Illinois Locofoco insists ia the most important measure in the bill, save the Mississippi river itself. And between such glaring inconsistent positions as these, assumed by men ofstand- ing ofthesame party, the great West is defrauded of her rights, and all appropriations for our Rivers and Harbors are withheld from us. Why will the West continue to send Locofocos to Congress to defeat tlieir best interests. EjPSo far newspapers are concerned, the new post office law is a mere budget of inconsistencies and intricacies.

No one seems to understand it, and the Post Office Department has put such construction! on some portions of it, as we are satisfied wer. no intended by the framers of the law. The regulation' in regard to transient papers virtually puts a stop to their transmission, and the decision that a inan who, for instance, lives in Lexington, and is a regular subscriber to the Daily Courier, cannotgo to Harrodsburg Springs and have itsdircction changed to that point one month without paying a quarters postage in advance, is an absurdity which must be apparent to every sensible man. The St. Louis Organ wishes a decision on the following: Problem l-kdkr the New Postage Law.

A pamphlet was mailed from Rochester, New York, to a gentleman in this city. The postage, if prcpaitl. was (ico cents; unpaid, four cents. The person sending the pamphlet paid one cent by stamp, at the time i mUCh ceipt of the pamphlet) reqU'red t0 on re" EThe Pennsylvania Locofocos are in a sad ore dicamentas to many of their Convention candidate, for Judges. The democratic club at West Chester has adopted resolutions repudiating the nomina'-tions of Judges Campbell, Lewis and Gibson, for the Supreme Court.

Three of the delegates to the State Convention were present, and advocated the resolutions. There were butjite put in nomination, and three of them have been denounced by the Democracy in different parts of Pennsylvania, as unworthy the trust they aspire to, and not entitled to the support of the party.

HOUGHTON'S PEPSIN, THE TRUE DIGESTIVE FLUID or GASTRIC JUICE, a great Dyspfipsia Curer, prepared from Rennet, or the fourth stomach of the ox, after directions of Baron Liebig, the great Physioluyical Chemist, by J. S.

HOUGHTON, M.D., Philadelphia, Pa. This is truly a wonderful remedy for Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Liver Complaint, Constipation and Debility, curiiifr after nature's own method, by nature's own agent, the Gastric Juice. The Gastric Juice is the great solvent of the food, the purifying, preserving, stimulating ngent of the stomach and intestines. Without it there can be no digestion uo conversion of food into blood no nutrition ot" the body; but rather a foul, torpid, painful aud destructive condition of the whole apparatus. A weak, half-dead, or injured stomach produces no good Gastric Juice, and hence the disease, distress, and debility which eucue.

The art of pertbrmiug the process of digestion artificially has long been known to physiologists. Dr. Houghton claims the merit of makinc the application of this art, to the cure of Dyspepsia, in a perfect and agreeable form. Read the Scientific evidence. Baron Liebig, in his celebrated work on Animal Chemistry, says: "An artificial digestive Fluid analogous to the Gastric Juice, may be prepared from the mucous membrane of the stomach of the calf, in which various articles of food, as meat and eggs, will be softened, changed and digested, just In the same manner as they would be on the human stomach." Call en the Agent for further evidence of a similar character.

It is doing wonders for dyspeptics. Every bottle of the genuine Pepsin bears the written signature of J. S. HOUGHTON, M.D., sole proprietor. Price one dollar per bottle.

The Wheat Crop. The Piqua Register says that the wheat crop in Ohio, "judging from what we have seen in our own section, and the information we have from others, far exceeds that of any season heretofore. Nor is Ohio alone in this abundance. The whole West appears to be similarly blessed, and the vast crop is also of a superior quality." The Shawneetown (III.) Argus, of the llthinst, says: Crops in Southern Illinois were never mor promising. Tobacco and corn are excellent, and the wheat which is harvested in good order, has never been surpassed in this State.

A proposal is seriously entertained in the metropo lis of pleasure, Paris, for an eight-days' festival, a splendid fete, to which all nations are to be invited. The object is to draw to Paris the torrent of visiters which have gone to London, and to answer the Eng lish exhibition by something more splendid still. The fete is to cost 1,500,000 francs. The annual expense of the Common Schools of New York city is $400,028, for a population of 515, 343, and an attendance at the schools of 108,906. In Boston, with an attendance the expense is $366,256 showing a ratio of expenditure in Boston more than in New York, and securing no better advantages for education.

The average expense per pupil in New York is $6,86 per annum in Boston it is $14,36. In Philadelphia, the expense is $8,11 per year in Baltimore it is $12,20. Removal of the Funds. The removal of the funds, noticed in the papers, from the ruins o'fthe old Custom House to the present, has caused considera ble amusement to the lovers a good thing, aquibs epigrams, paragraphs, items, leaders, have all had a hit at the process, and at last it has been caricatured and lithographed.

Root, the other of Mr. Hathaway, both of Haydenvilie, undertook to sport upon a raft above Hayden's Button factory. In the act of getting on the raft they pushed it from the shore, and were-carried over the dam, where there is afall of 12 or 15 feet. As the raft rose to the surface a little hand wasseen clineme to it, and a man plunged into the river, seized the hand, drew out the girl, and found the other clinging to one ot her feet. JNeither sustained any injury.

Springfield Mass.) Post. The Albany Argus argues that the Whig party at the North are all Abolitionists, because the VVhigs in the Legislature of Connecticut voted for the re election of Mr. Baldwin, who did not support the compromise measures. Will the Argus admit, on the same principle, that the Democrats at the North are all Abolitionists because the Democratic members of the Massachusetts Legislature elected Mr. Sumner to the United States Senate? The latter inference would certainly be more rational than the former.

Mr. Baldwin, at least, is no Abolitionist no enem to the institutions of the Constitution. National Intelligencer, 11th. The celebrated Polish General Uminski died at Wiesbaden on the l6JiofJune. He was one of the most prominent actors in the last Polish Revolution, but for feveral yean had lived in great retirementat Wiesbaden, flewns born in the year I78U, in the Grand Butchy of Posen.

As early as 1794 he commenced his military career, as a volunteer under Kosciusko. When the Poles were sumraond to new efforts for freedom by Dombrowski, in 1806, Uminski was among the first to take up arms. He formed a Polish Guard of Honor for Napoleon, fought at Lmntzick, received a wound at Dirschau. where he was taken prisoner and ientenced to death by a Prus sian Jourt-Martial. His sentence was not executed, however as Napoleon threatened reprisals.

The Last Lynchburg Tragedy. The Char lottesville (Va) Advocate, of the 5th instant, iu alluding to the recent dreadfultraeedv, says: "Miss Morris is a raving maniac, and threatens to put an end to her existence if her lover should not survive his wound. Mr. Morris proceeded home with his daughter and the corpse of his sou expecting that the dreadful calamities which had befallen them would cause the death ot his wile. "Thus has ended one of the most terrible tragedies that has ever occurred upon the soil of Virginia.

Nothing is wanting to render it complete love, misery, madness, and death make up the scenes ot the bloody drama. We trust that so awful a lesson will not be lost upon the community." The phenomenon of rain without clouds, which occurred in Philadelphia, Wednesday of last week, was noticed at Nonistown, N. by the editor of the Free Press, who says: "Precisely the same phenomenon was observed at this place about a quarter past 10 o'clock the same evening. On the north and northwest horizon, dark clouds were resting, from which lightning issued at repeated intervals. These clouds did not rise from the horizon more than thirty degrees.

Over head it was perfectly clear, and the stars shone forth with remarkable brightness. In this state of the heavens the rain commenced falling quite smartly, increasing in volume as it fell, and lasting some four or five minutes." Letter from Hon. William R. King. Hon.

William R. King, of Alabama, has writen a letter, declaring himselfdecidedly opposed to the leading compromise of the last session of Congress. The admission of California into the Union he pronounces an act of injustice, and says that no man should have felt more indignant than he did at this partial and unjust legislation. The bill abolishing slavery.g under certain circumstances, in the District of Columbia, he says he could not have given his sanction to under any circumstances, and he takes the eround that he should feel it a bounden duty to vote for the repeal of the emancipation clause whenever proposed. He declares that he would again, as he did at the last Congress vote for the repeal of the Mexican law pro-hibitng slavery in Utah and New Mexico.

He also repudiates all connection with tho Union party. Baltimore Sunf 10th inst. glTThe New Orleans Daily Delta, of the 4th inst, contains the following paragraph touching monetary affairs in the Crescent City: The recent failures in Europe and. at the North, and the sudden decline in cotton, have produced some tightness and embarrassment in our money affairs in this city. But we are happy to observe that the worst is now over, and that there is almost a certain prospect that this city will ride triumphantly through the sto.m without serious damage to any of our merchants and bankers.

Indeed, this very severe tempest has served to test the strength, caution and safety with which our commercial operations have been conducted, a state of aiTai rs due more to the stringency of ourmoney market and the want of large facilities than to any extraordinary sagacity and prudence of our merchants. We do not believe that any serious failure will occur in this city, though considerable temporary embarrassment and annoyance may be experienced. These, however, will soon pass over, and public confidence resume its healthy sway. Moses on Mount Pisgah. The last Washington Southern Press has the following announcement of an agreeable editorial vision: "But the truth of history compels us to make the record, and as the time rapidly approaches when the Republican party may come into power on the principle of '9S, recognizing 36 deg.

30 the rights of the States, and the right of secession, and tee shall have to be the organ, we have a strong contingent interest in maintaining the character of National organs for historic fidelity, political orthodoxy and correct information."

ltespectiully yours, FARMER, rWe have received the first number of the Shawneetown (111.) Argus, a very neat and spirited paper, which has just made its appearance under tb auspices of Mr. J. G. Hutchinson, as editor and pro prietor. The political complexion of the Argus can be judged of from the following extract taken from the editorial leader, in thb first number of the paper: In politics, the Argus will take a firm and dignified stand in favor pf the great conservative principles that have governed the present Administration ot thi General Government, and which has enabled it to pass unscathed through the fiery ordeal of the dis unionists.

We shall brand the word traitor upon the forehead ot every public man who advocates a disso lution ot our glorious Union. The Argus has our best wishes for its success- A City of Priests. A correspondent of the New ark Advertiser, writing from Turin, says: "On approaehing the environs, one is ready to in quire if it is a city of priests so many long black robes are seen tranmgm the dust, and so many three cornered hats bobbing in very direction; a question that will not surprise the reader, when he learns that in the little kingdom ol Sardinia there are over sixty thousand priests, including the monks. Many these are attached institutions for the education of indigent youth, and receive salaries from the government; others are professors in the various colleges. and the remainder are required for the daily masses of the churches, of which there are a hundred and ten in Turin alone, besides several monasteries.

We do not know the number of monks attached to these; but they are numerous, and patrol the streets at all hours with their uncovered, shaven heads, bare feet, coarse brown robes, fastened at the waist by the rough cord used as their scourge of penitence, and the cross and rosary dangling at their side. Long processions of nuns, too, in tlieir cloister costumes, and sisters of charily, headed by the lady superior carrying the cross, may be encountered almost any day by the stranger entering JLurm, some one of these various religious orders being always out on duty burying the dead or performing some other sacred rite; so that it is no difficult to realize at once one's proximity to Roman Catholic dominions.
