Accounts from different parts of this the neighboring states of Maryland and Virginia, concur in representing the i ing crop of wheat as being most unpromising. The American, Farmer of Baltimore, says that on Elk Ridge, where 20 bushels to the acre was expected, the de struction of the fly has been so great, that the crop will, perhaps, not much exceed five.

The Gazette of York in this state, says that wheat in 4 fields out 5, will not be half a crop, and the Ban-caster Journal speaks of the bad appearance of the crops there. The Virginian printed at Winchester, in Virginia, gives also an unfavorable account of the crops in that neighborhood, but as it assigns a new cause for the misfortune, we annex the article with the single remark, that be the editor of the Virginian in jest or earnest, his present charge appears quite as well founded as many others be has published against the administration of the general government. fl5The Tariff and a President from north of the Potomac, it seems, cannot be brooked Their goods Iiaving been bought on the best terms, wall be sold low. s.
