Editorial Correspondence. 
Detroit, June 6 , 1850. 
Mr. Moore: —This young and growing State 
has rapidly worked its way to a high position in 
Agricultural as well as in other improvements. It 
is but a few years since a great proportion of it 
was new and uncultivated, and at this day, con¬ 
siderable portions are unoccupied, but the products 
are nevertheless largo and rapidly augmenting.— 
Very few States in the Union possess greater na¬ 
tural advantages than Michigan. Almost sur¬ 
rounded by navigable waters, with numerous and 
convenient harbors,facilities for the shipment of pro¬ 
ducts and the reception of merchandize are afforded 
such as few States away from the seaboard enjoy 
— and if we add to these the two Railroads now 
done or building through the State, and the nu¬ 
merous Plank Roads which are about to penetrate 
almost every county, it is easy to see for the penin¬ 
sular State a highly successful career, both in ag¬ 
riculture and at no distant day in other branches of 
industry, os well as in commercial prosperity. 
We have as yet seen but little of the practical 
farmiug in this State, our travels thus far Imving 
been confined principally to the Lakes and Rivers. 
In a future number of the New-Y’orker wo may 
give some of our impressions, gathered from a tour 
through the interior of the State. Detroit is a 
flourishing city, and is now making rapid strides 
in the way of substantial and permanent improve¬ 
ments. There is a largo amount of building this 
year, and the buildings going up are generally of 
the first class. The substitution of these for the 
old and unsightly structures which have given 
place to them, will be a change which both stran¬ 
gers and citizens will appreciate, and which will do 
credit to the enterprize of the town. The city is 
said to number about twenty-five thousand inhab¬ 
itants. The census of the present year will test 
the accuracy of the estimates, not only here, but 
in other cities where largo additions have been 
made since the last enumeration. The estimate 
above, for Detroit, is probably within the mark. 
There are many delightful spots on the Detroit 
and St. Clair rivers, some of them well improved, 
but more yet unoccupied except for farming pur¬ 
poses. The magnitude of the streams, and the 
vast amount of commerce brought to tlieir very 
doors, and required to pass up and down the chan¬ 
nel, together witli the clearness of the water, and 
pleasant scenery generally presented, will render 
the most eligible spots on both this and the Cana¬ 
dian side very desirable for country seats, especial¬ 
ly as the country grows older and more densely 
|K)pulatod. 
There must at no distant day be a great amount 
of business in the various branches of manufac¬ 
tures, between Lakes Erie and Huron. Already ! 
there is a vast amount of steam power in opera¬ 
tion, much of it to be sure for the sawing and man¬ 
ufacture of lumber in its various branches, but 
much also in other departments of business. The 
facilities of navigation, 8 lb well as the fine back 
country seeking an outlet and market on the river, 
will over make these locations desirable and valu¬ 
able. Already in addition to the great number of 
Steam Saw Mills, which are here on a large scale, 
and of which there are scores in operation, exten¬ 
sive Iron Works, Flouring Mills, Tanneries, &c., 
with now and then a Woolen Factory may be seen 
in full operation, or in the course of erection. Ar¬ 
rangements are alao«making, and a company al¬ 
ready organized, for smelting copper, and we be¬ 
lieve also a rolling mill for iron, to be located just 
below this city, perhaps from one to two miles from 
its centre, and directly on the bank of the river.— 
The ore of course is to come from the Lake Supe¬ 
rior mines, but for the conveniences of procuring 
labor, provisions, «fcc., and for other reasons which 
present themselves to capitalists, the smelting is to 
be done here. 
The Canada shore opposite Detriot, and for 
several miles above and below, is an agreeable 
drive and if it was only “ annexed,” so as to have 
a little more Yankee energy and thrift infused into 
its business, would be the pleasantest side for resi¬ 
dences. The villages of Windsor and Sandwich 
are beautifully situated, the latter however striking 
us much more favorably than the former. The 
farms on that side seem generally well cultivated 
and quite productive. To yourself and your fruit 
growing friends and correspondents, it would be a 
rich treat to witness the monster pear trees on both 
sides of the river, but especially on the Canada 
side, apparently a hundred years old and 3 ’et vig¬ 
orous and flourshing, and looking at a little distance 
like forest trees, such is their unusual size. 
Detroit has a Horticultural Society which is, we 
believe, tolerably well sustained, and is a useful 
institution. At this time, when the earth has been 
for weeks parched and dried up, and when plants, 
trees, flowers, and indeed all vegetation is covered ^ 
with dust, and almost suspended, nothing can have 
the pleasing and inviting appearance which this 
season should and does generally present. 
Wo spent a liesure half hour with Mr. Ibham, 
Editor of the Michigan Farmer. The Farmer 
has been increasing in circulation and improving 
in appearance, and we are happy to learn, is now 
pretty well sustained. Michigan should sustain 
her own agricultural paper, especially when it is 
so deserving of success, and we doubt not that 
she will do it. With her increasing population and 
wealth, and improvements in agriculture, good 
agricultural journal should most assuredly live 
within her borders. 
A fine shower, last night, has caused great re¬ 
joicing, not only among farmers, but all classes, 
and the despondency and fears for the wheat crop, 
have given place to a prospect, if the rains continue, 
of an abundant harvest. 
Yours truly, C. 
Drouth at the West. 
Late accounts more than confirm the state¬ 
ments we made last week relative to the severe 
drouth at the West. The wheat and other crops 
are suffering immensely, in man)' sections. We 
fear the result will prove extremely disastrous to 
thousands of farmers who, a few weeks ago, rea¬ 
sonably expected large harvests. 
A correspondent writing from McHenry county. 
Ill., under date of Juno 5, says:— ‘‘ All spring 
crops have suffered greatly in consequence of the 
unprecedented drouth. For the last five weeks 
not a drop of moisture has descended to cool and 
invigorate the parched and over-heated earth.— 
Corn is in statu quo, and promises there to remain 
until the round, pattering rain Shall herald its re¬ 
surrection.” 
Under date of June 6 , a friend residing in Cen¬ 
tral Michigan, (Jackson County,) writes: — 
“ There has been no rain here in four weeks, and 
the wheat crop, which looked ver)’ promising, is 
now suffering from the drouth. The corn crop 
has made little advancement, scarcely a field large 
enough for hoeing. All spring crops look very 
discouraging.” 
Since the above was in type, we learn that va¬ 
rious sections of the west were visited with copious 
showers during the latter part of last week, and it 
is hoped the severe drouth is at an end. 
The Crops in Wisconsin. —The Watertown 
(Wis.) Chronicle of the 5th inst., sa 3 ’s:—“ The 
prospect now is that the exports of wheat from 
Wisconsin, this 3 ’ear, will be—‘over the loft! ’— 
We do not think the crop will bread for the ensu¬ 
ing year, our present population, to say nothing of 
the multitudes daily flocking to car shores. It 
certainly will not, unless we have theanost favora¬ 
ble weather until after harvest. But this is not 
the worst of it. Our spring crops have been great¬ 
ly damaged by the drouth. Spring wheat, oats, 
barley, &c., are nearly destroyed, while a large 
proportion of the corn planted, remains unsprouted. 
Wheeler’s Railroad Horse-Power, &c. 
The attention of farmers and others wanting a 
cheap, portable and economieal combination of 
machinery for threshing, sawing wood, and like 
purposes, is directed to the advertisement in our 
present number. Of the great value and utility 
of the Railroad Powers we have before spoken, 
and from our knowledge of their operation can 
safely commend them to the public. Farmers in 
this section will observe tliat the machines can be 
obtained of the agents in this city. 
We understand that Messrs. Wheeler, Melick 
«fc Co., of Alban)’, are the sole manufacturers of 
Wheeler’s Powers, and that they are building the 
same extensively. See their advertisement in pre¬ 
vious numbers of the New-Yorker. 
Plowing Match at Qeneseo. 
The annual Plowing Match of the Livingston 
Co. Agricultural Society was held at Geneseo, on 
the Ist inst., and excited an unusual degree of in¬ 
terest. We learn from the Rejmblican, that the 
attendance was large, and the result most satisfac¬ 
tory. There were sixteen competitors, and a quar¬ 
ter of an acre of sward was assigned to each plow¬ 
man — the work being performed in about two 
, hours, in a superior manner. 
The judges found it difficult to decide, as the 
’ work was all meritorious, but finally awarded the 
following premiums—regard being had to uniform- 
’ ity of depth and regularity of execution :
