Wabash College Commencement. Tho twentieth commencement of Wabash College which closed its exercises yesterday, drew a much larger number of sfrangors than in former years. The weather was cool, clear and delightful, which gave additional zest and iuterest to the occasion. The exercises commenced on Monday evening, with prize speaking, in which tho young gentlemen acquitted themselves with honor to themselves and credit to the Institution of which they were members. On Tuesday morning tho Academy of Science met, but we are not informed that any business of importance was transacted. The afternoon was occupied with an address to the Alumni, by Samnel Merrill, of Indianapolis. This address was full of high and elevated thought, clothed in befitting language.— Prof. Butler, delivered a Poem, which was repleto with jrit, beauty, and fervid eloquence,—glowed with genuine poetic fire and ever and anon, flashed with the spirit of genius. We trust it may soon be published, that others may enjoy the rich treat of its perusal. In the evening the two societies were addressed by Mr. Booth, of Terre Hi ute Ilis subject the Steam Engine, was treated in A manner, which proved that the orator had studied long and well the grand and mighty IDEA and influence involved in the developement of this transforming power.

On Wednesday, the regular exercises of Commencement took place. The graduating class consisted of five young men, Messrs. Elliott, McKey, Post, BlackweU, & Spelnmn ail of whom give promise of usefulness and influence. Two Masters' orations, by Messrs. Defrees and Hamilton, were productions of high merit the

We congratulate Mr.

HAIU TONIC.—We unintentionally omitted to call attention, last week, to tho notice, in special column, of Prof. 0. J. Wood's celebrated Hair Tonic. It is thought by many, that by the free use of this Tonic, that those, who for many years, have been deprived of their hair, could have it restored, and that too, of a healthful and vigorous growth. We would advise our old bald-headed friends to try it on their heads and the young Shanghea. upon his upper-lip. We have no uoubt it will produce hair, apply it where you will.

The Republican Congressional Convention of the Eighth District have nominated Hon. James Wilson, of Crawfordsville, for re-election on the first ballot.— Hit principal competitor «u Col. J. R. M. Bayant, of Warren connty. Mr. WilMB took high rank in the recent session of Congress (his first) as a debater of more than ordinary powers, and met successfully the ablest speakers of the majority in the discussions in which he participated.— His District is one of the closest in the Stato, and it will be energetically canvassed bv both sides, but we have faith that he will,' as befoue, carry the Republican banner in triumph over it, and that he will be returned to Congress by a largely inci.eased majority.

CROP NEWS.

RU&HVILLE, JEFFERSON CoUNTV,) Onto, July 5, 1858. Agreeable to your request I write you a few lines respecting the crops and weather in our county. We have had two or three weeks of fino weather, with occasional showers, and corn looks well, and if the season continues favorable there will be over an average crop.

The weevil has injured the late varieties of wheat, but the Mediteranean is good, and there has been some cut. I think there will be better wheat, if not more than last year.

The early sown barley is good, but the late sown is injured by tho weevil. Some fields are almost destroyed. There is a good deal of last year's barley on hand.

The Oats looks tolerably well as with the Barley, the early sown are the best.— Hay is very heavy—better than it has been for several years. Potatoes look tolerable. The crop of fruit will be light scarsely any Apples.

More Hogs than last year, and heavier. There has been but little Wool sold: the price ranges from 30 to 50c.

Yours, respectfully, c.

SHELBY COUNTY, Ind., July 6.

We have been cutting Wheat for eight or ten days, and the harvest is about ended. White is very short. Red is good in quality, but short in quantity. There are but two grains in a set, and none at the top or bottom of the head. It is possible we may have half a crop of Corn, but not more. Tho plants are now from three inches to waist high. The Oat crop will prove a failure. Weather showery and warm. ^. J. W. M.

TILTON, Fleming Co., Ky.,) July 6th, 1858. S

Wheat crop harvested nnd in shock.--That which matured by 25th of June is merchantable, but a light yield per acre, caused by ravages of the fly. Late sowing is seriously damaged by scab, smut and rust. Many fields will not pay the expense of harvesting and threshing, producing from eight to ten bushels per acre only. My latest information from the adjoining counties, together with deficiency of acres, warrants the opinion that Northern Kentucky has not produced over a half crop compared with last season.

Barley crop, light yield. Oat crop, for the first time in the recollection of the oldest settlers, is struck with rust, nnd front present appearances will not pay for cutting. Corn crop never more promising. Many fields will silk inside of the next ten days, and will yield a good crop, with six weeks of seasonable weather yet with the condition of the soil (the excessive rains of the last five weeks having caused it to bake and run together) a slight drought, with the mercury as last fifteen days, standing at

FROM OHIO EXCHANGES. SENECA.

THE HARVEST.— Our farmers aro engaged in making hay and cutting their barley. Some will commence cutting wheat to-day and to-morrow, but next week tho golden grain in a thousand fields will fall before the cradle of the harvester. The work will be warm, but our farmers have sturdy and great physical eudurance, and will slash away wilh a will, as the prospect for good crops was never better. All right. When the farmers have pleuty of grain they will have plenty of money, and times will grow lively once more.—Seneca Advertiser.

WYANDOT.

We have the cheeiing opinion of one, in whose judgement we feel certain, that the corn crop in this county will materially change but little from the erop of last year. Although the season has been backward and embarrassing, the fine growing weather enjoyed lately in this part of the world has "worked almost a wonder" in bringing forth the productions of the earth.— Wheat never looked better in this country —an abundant crop is expected.— Union.

HENRY.

We have heard several of our farmers, within the past few days, complain of the ravages of tho weevil in their wheat fields. Some fields have been almost entirely destroyed, but much of the crop, we think, is too far advanced to suffer greatly from that cause. Corn does not look very well, and will require a very favorable fall to produce a middling crop. Fruit will not be very abundant.—North- West.

BELMONT.

Our farmers, just at this writing, aro on the biggest kind of nettles as to the amount of damage wliieh will be done to the wheat crop by tho wetvil. We hear of complaints from all parts of the county, but whether the worst anticipations of complaints will be realized, deponent saith not. Corn is little backward, but has a good color and is growing finely those warm days and damp nights. Oats, barley, grass and "garden sass" generally, look well.— Independent,

GUERNSEY.

Just at the present reading, tho heat of the sun is rather in excess. The crops are profiting in consequence. Tho wheat is about ready for cutting. Some of our farmers have already commenced the operation. Oats have looked better, and upland meadows are very good. The corn erop is coming on very apidly. Our farmers have faith that seed time and harvest will not fail. Hence the corn-planting has continued up to this week. Notwithstanding the late and unusual flood, there will be a large number of acres of corn cultivated in this county the present year. The weevil has not done much damage this year. The fruit will be scarce.—Jeffersonian.

CLINTOT.

In a short trip info tho southern portion

of our county, tliis week, we were painful ly aware of the fact that the crops of wheat oats and corn will bo very short this year. Most of the wheat on the level lands is greatly damaged by rust oats, also, on flat lands, iB almost ruined by rust, and will not head out at all. This disease on oats is unheard of before in our county. In many fields the corn is hardly perceivable above the clods, struggling with the grass and weeds, for a sickly existence. On the rolling lands, near the streams, all kinds of grain looks better, and will yield tolerably fair crops. Our farmers are now in the midst of wheat harvest.-—<Republi-can>. ~~~~~

LATER FROM UTAH.

ST. LOUIS, July 12.—Our despatches from Leavenworth of the 9th, by the steamer War Eagle to Boonville, says that letters received by the St. Joseph mail from

the army contain a few additional items of interest. An officer writing from Johnson's camp on Bear River, June 16, says the army would resume their march the next day.

Col. Johnson has received an express from the Peace Commissioners informing him that the Army would be received peaceably by the Mormons. The General did not, however, fuel any increased confidence in the peaceful attitude of the Saints, and the Army was kept in readiness to repel any treacherous demonstration. A proclamation had been issued to the people, by Johnston, in which he tells them the army is ready now to afford them assistance and protection, as it was to oppose them when in rebellion against the Government: It was thought that this guarantee would cause many Mormons to evade the despotism of Young, who has seduously inculcated the belief that the army was particularly hostile to them. The troops are in fine condition and glad to be released from inaction. The Garrison at Fort Bridger consisted of Capt. Hendrickson's and Lieut. Smith's Companies of the 6th Infantry, and Capt. Stewart's troops of 1st Cavalry. Col. Hoffman lost ninety mules but only one cavalry horse in hid march across the Plains.

The St. Joseph Gazette, of the 8th, in noticing the arrival of the Utah mail, says General Harney encamped just beyond Ft. Laramie. Col. May's command was met thirty-five miles this side of Ft. Laramie. A large body of Infantry was at Ash Hollow. Maj. Emery was encamped on Big Blue, and another Commander, name not given, at Fort Kearney.

The provision trains were progressing very finely. The Sioux Indians were scattered all along the route, but were friendly.

Heavy snow fell at Fort Bridger on the 10th of June. Dispatches from St. Joseph, per U. S. Express to Booneville [sic], say the Salt Lake mail of June 19th has arrived.

Gen. Johnston's command was met at Echo Canon, fifty miles from Salt Lake City, in excellent health and spirits.

Brigham Young and his followers were still at Provo. Young has been at Salt Lake City to confer with Gov. Cumming and the Peace Commissioners, but the result of the conference was not known.

It was the established opinion that the Mormons would offer no resistance. Col. Hoffman had left his command at Fort Bridger.

Capt. Marcy accompanied Gen. Johnston.

Everything regarding the future move-

ments of the Mormons was veiled in mystery. Rumors were still rife, however, that they meditate an occupancy of Sonora.

Conjectures were numerous in the Valley that the U. S. Government intend purchasing the Mormon improvements.

The South Platte was very high. The roads were good. The mail party neither met or saw any Indians on the route, but met many traders at different points.

The mail party were 19 days from Salt Lake to St. Joseph. The same dispatch says that Judge Sinclair, recently appointed Judge of Utah, would leave St. Joseph on the10th, accompanied by Mr. Dodge, U. S. District Attorney for Utah Territory.

Our Leavenworth correspondent, under date of the 8th, says: An express arrived at Fort Leavenworth this morning from Fort Kearney. The express passed the Utah mail for St. Joseph.

It is said that Gov. Cumming and the Peace Commissioners have concluded a treaty of peace with the Mormons.

Gen. Harney was in camp nine miles beyond Fort Kearney on the 3d. The express with orders for him to halt must have overtaken him on the 6th.

The U. S. steamer Mink leaves Fort Leavenworth to-morrow with Capt. Lovell's and Lieut. Lee's companies of the Second Infantry for Fort Randall. She also takes recruits for the same regiment.

Judge Cato has resigned his position as District Judge. ~~~~~

THE INDIAN WAR ON THE PACIFIC COAST. —The Indians in Washington and Oregon Territories are formidable in numbers, as well as in courage and audcity [sic], and the war which has commenced between a portion of them and Col. Steptoe's command, seems likely to be bloody and protracted.

From the report of J. Ross Browne, Esq., the special Commissioner sent by the Government to the Territories of Oregon and Washington, to investigate the facts of the war of 1855, and who also describes their condition as late as 1757, we learn that tho number of Indian warriors in Oregon is 20,000, and in Washington about 22,000. In the neighborhood of Puget Sound, in 1855, there were were no less than 2.500 warriors, fully equal to any other tribe in strength and courage.

The most efficient, forces brought against the Indians hitherto have been volunteers, and it may prove a fortunate circumstance, if the Indian hostilities are continued, that so many hardy adventurers are now seeking the gold legion, on Frazor's river.

J^Tlt is singular that in the Fourth Congressional District, where Gen. Foley was a candidate for nomination for Congress, he did not get a vote. His 'four fathers,' if they attended this convention at all, voted for his opponents, and turned their 'little ancestor' 'loose in his districk.'—Indianapolis Jour.

Dr. Roback's Theory and Practice. It would seem that Dr. Roback's "Scandinavian Remedies" have taken the highest rank among the standard medicines of the day. His theory is, that in whatever organ disease may show itself, its roots are in the blood. Hence his famous Swedish curative, the Blood Purifier and the Blood Pills are designed to act specifically upon the sanguineus fluid. One thing cannot be disputed, they produce most saluta ry effects oven in apparently hopeless case? Individuals who have suffered for years from dyspepsia, scrofula, eruptions of the skin, bronchitis, asthma, general prostration, liver complaint, rheumatism, neuralgia, and many other distressing maladies, report themselves, over their own signatures, as radically cured by a course of these Remedies. The claims of Dr. Roback's advertisements are therefore supported by competent proof. See Advertisement.

SPECIAL. NOTICES.

[From the New York DAY BOOK.] HAIR DYE IB VILE WASH, but the article that wilfyiaturally restore the color of the hair, the changing of which to gray, being an indication of a lack of proper secretion, is truly a valuable medicine. I'KOK. WOOD'SHAIR TONIC, if the certificates of the lending minds over the Union do not falsify, is the only safe remedy for baldness, dryness, premature change of color, and the several evidences of a lack of secretions at the roots of the hair, which can be found. Quack preparations abound, aud "liair tonics'' fill every "corner grocery" in the country. Avoid all "hair ton ics" unless known to be the preparation of some man whose celebrity has bccome world-wide.-Do not let any nostrum vender experiment upon your hair. Touch nothing you have not good reason to believe is all that it purports to be. Prof. Wood has earned by years of severe test of the virtues of his preparation, his present fame.— Over 150 certificates are before usofthe value of this Hair Restorative, from parties who have tried it. Use no other.

CAUTION.—Beware of-worthless imitations, as several are already in the market called by different names. Use none unless the-words (Professor Wood's Hair Restorative, Depot St. Louis, Mo., and New York) are blown in the bottle.— Sold by all Druggists and Patent Medicine dealears.

GRAVEL AND STONE.

By this we uhderstand a collection ofsand like substance having been lodged in the passage of the urine. When the system is in a healthy state this substance is carried off by the natural passage of the body but when there is a weakness of any organ, especially the kidneys, urethra, or the bladder, causing great inflamation to those organs, and great pains and swelling, and great difficulty in voiding urine. It has been admitted by many physicians that Morse's Indian Root Pills are made out ofsoinc particular plants which have a wonderful charming influence in dissolving the substance which has clogged the passage, ami by their cooling properties they expel an inflama. tion and leave the water passage, in an active & state. From 3 to 4 of those Pills night & morning, from one to two weeks, will decide .how this dread ml disease is to be treated, and as they remove the cause of every kind of disease, it is utterl impossible for thorn to fail in curing the gravel, as they v.nclog the passage, and leave the parts in a healthy and lively condition.

Why is the Demand so Great for

AGUE BALSAM?

Because it will, in all cases, safely and effectually cure that much dreaded scourge of the West—Chills, Fever nnd Ague—-without fail.and in cases will counteract the poison of Ma2a» ria, of which fact thousands do testify and, unlike all other nostrums, it is only recommended for one class of diseases, and as a tonic it is unsurpassed. Wc will offer a few evidences of ita worth, by men of influence and high standing.

Mr. C. P. Plummcr—Dear Sir: I cannot refrain from giving you this slight regard of th« opinion I have of your valuable medicine. I was confined to my bed some six months with inflammatory Rheumatism, eo that I -was not able to move a joint, and after exhausting the skill of all the prominent Doctors of the country, I had given up to die, when I was recommended to use your Embrocation. I did so: I am rejoiced that I can testify to its great effects. After using the third bottle I was entirely well, and am now attending to my business. C. E. LEAVERINQ.
