The press of the conn try, wherever Gen. Harney’s rooept attack on the Indians has elicited pny notice, has denounced the cruelty, and duplicity of thp act without measure. From the reports published it would appear that lie first rejected their offers to.tredt, and adjust their difficulties without bloodshed, and then fearing they might no£ be sufficiently entrapped withoitt being held inactive for a little time longer, he,gave the sign, for a parley,which they answered, and although they made pll the overt urea for peace which CQiild. ltave been exacted by one only desirous of doing justice ami rending the disturbances op the frontiers, ns soon as the trap set for them. was seen tq Ihj sufficiently prcpafctt, they were told that no terms wonljl be made.

I read lately, in a'Wspsper a well Tvrtlten article, in which it is asserted that the fences of the United Stales cost more, money thanf ail the houses, incJidiagpub* 'lie'edifices of every sort. At first I Watf startled and wholly incredulous, but thfl statement set me to cal entnting, and now, in tbc obsenef of preci« data,'while’X cannot affirm the truth of the 'assertion, 1 ! dure' not denyiL •’ A.-Federal township* contains §3,040 acres of land, which be-', ing,u square of six miles, may bo enclosed', as one field by n fence24 miles long. . If yon 'wish t& enclose the : same qnintity of' land in separate fields of o section, or 640 acres each, you-must make 144 miles of I fcnce—if m 1mlf sections, or 320 ocffiS - each, 210 miles of fenpc—if in half quar* ter sections, or 30 acres each, 43§. miles of Telia*; and if in quarter quarter soct inm-y or 4,0 acres each, 576 miles of fence.* Probably, a majority of .the cultivators of " ilusonri soil .have each enclosed 10Cf acres or less. . 'Let us assume a quarter section ns, the. average qnnntity, and F , think it fair to Jisstimo also; that the into- t rior fences, including yards,gardens, farm* fences, Are., will amount to half as mnctu as the outside encl(*nre, asd then yon willi have for every 23,040 acres contents* of a township) the enormous quantity off 420 miles of fence.

The harvesi is over. The remit is a middling crop of rye—the most import tnnt crop in Germany—and a good one of wheat. [ The potatoes have generally done sWcli.

Notwithstanding all this, the pHce of - bread pses higher from day; and : the poor 'classes arc suffering to severely as :(o create ,a fear of riots and revolts, particularly toward the end of the'coming Winter, T(iere have already been: premonitory symptoms in some of' the cities, as JIayence and Manhcim v> LargoConvoys; of corn ImvA been sent from Hungary and Galliuia; but as the war Wilt jiiudcr . arrivals from the Black sea, the scarcity will beebme greater, perhaps,’than last year.
