The Magdeburgische Zeitung receives from its Dresden correspondent the following report, derived from an authoritative source: The great expectations at first held of the harvest have unfortunately not been fulfiilled. The great drought in May and June did considerable harm. Oats and barley have failed: rye and wheat reach a medium harvest. Particularly unfavorable is the harvest around Leipzig: in the hilly districts it is better. The potatoes offer the best prospects so that they will cover the deficit in corn. The kohlrabi crop is bad; the fodder harvest in general is also not specially good. On the other hand, tho present rains will he very good for fodder roots. Experts hope that no attempt will be made to hasten potato deliveries as this year, owing to the long winter, the potatoes were planted late and must therefore remain in the ground longer than usual. The Vienna correspondent of the , Hamburger Nachrichten, in an angry article about the renewed activities of Austro-Hungarian pacifists and democrats in behalf of a speedy peace, speaks of “an influential political current in Austria-Hungary that cherishes the illusion of terminating the war at any cost by a speedy compromise.” He refers to an article in the Neue Freie Presse, of Vienna, by the eminent jurist. Professor Lammarsch, who attacks Dr. Michaelis, and suggests that Austro-Hungary should use its influence to procure the entry of her allies into an association tor the peaceful settlement of international conflicts and the limitation of armaments. The correspondent also refers to an article in the Vienna Sonu und Montagszeitung complaining that the, slowness of tho democratizing of Germany prevents tho conclunion of poa<s> and asking why the imperial chancellor does not unambiguously proclaim that Belgium shall remain free and independent.
