ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER FALCON. 
Tiie Falcon arrived at New Orleans, August 
2Gth, with -San Francisco dates to the first of Au¬ 
gust. 
The Oregon had arrived at Panama from San 
Francisco, bringing down 2,000,000 gold dust on 
freighl. Sickness has abated on the Isthmus. 
The Oregon had the largest mail ever transmit¬ 
ted to the United States, comprising 60,000 let¬ 
ters and 30,000 newspapers. 
The mining intelligence is very favorable. 
The Indians continue very troublesome, and it 
was reported that they were organizing for a gen¬ 
eral fight with the whites. 
The San Francisco markets were slightly de¬ 
pressed. 
Intelligence from Australia seems to indicate 
that the tendency to Republicanism is progress¬ 
ing, and a declaration of independence is talked 
of, before long. 
The yield from the mines was increasing. 
Emigration from California to Australia was 
progressing. 
The Sandwich Island dates to the 2d of July 
have been received, but the news is unimportant. 
Two thousand two hundred sheep from Salt 
Lake had arrived. 
The overland emigrants report much trouble 
with the Indians.

to labor, and are usefully instructed. They spend 
from two to three hours iu school each day. Many 
of them come there ignorant, and have to com¬

most of them will leave as their terms expire,

We enter upon the commencement of another month 
with cheering prospects for tile toiling husbandman. We 
have passed through three phases of the rolling year, 
Winter, Spring and Summer, and now 
“ A wight, with golden slippered feet 
And jolly face, is drawing near : 
Fruits manifold, a painted crop 
Before his honied breath will drop. 
And Autumn comes to lave 
With cooling drops the weary land.” 
Flour—We learn of no sale of any amount. Millers 
from the surrounding country send small parcels into the 
city and realize $4,50@4,75, according to quality and rep¬ 
utation. 
Grain—Wheat comes in fairly by wagons, and all good 
samples readily command 95@98c. Extra lots might bring 
a dollar. Oats are not so firm, and are now selling at 34® 
37c. No corn offering. The new crop of barley begins 
to come forward slow[y, not enough to determine a mar¬ 
ket price. 
Provisions—Market well supplied. Butter is some bet¬ 
ter good samples selling at 14@15c. Potatoes 3734®50c 
with an abundant supply of good quality. Apples and 
other fruits are not very plenty. 
Seeds—There is some inquiry for Timothy seed and 
good samples would command $2,50@2,63 in srnali lots.— 
Few dealers are willing to buy largely at present. 
•Wool—There is so little in first bands that no sales are 
made in our market except small lots. Wo notice a sale 
of 70,000 lbs. in Albany at prices ranging from 3234 to 45c 
for common to fine domestic. 
Mill Feed—There is an active demand for home con¬ 
sumption, and from the east. We quote Shorts 7@8c, 
coarse Middlings 1234@14, fine middlings 30@31, with a 
short supply. 
In other articles there is little change to note, and few 
transactions.

written the remainder pertaining to the latter years ot Mr.

Tiik Crops in Wayne Co. — Having within the 
past week passed through a part of this and sev¬ 
eral of the adjoining counties, we are satisfied that 
corn in Western New York, will not be more 
than half a drop. Wheat ha* turned out to Lc a 
little more than an average, though in this section 
il has been somewhat injured by the weevil, and 
farmers inform us that it does not yield quite as 
well as they had anticipated before threshing.— 
Barley was uncommonly good—and the weather 
being favorable, was secured in good condition. 
Oats about an average. The fruit crop is rather 
light. Peach trees look barren—and tins delicious 
and highly esteemed fruit will be very scarce. 
Apples and pears are more abundant.— Wayne 
Sentinel. 
The Crops in Northern Onto.—It is conceded 
that the Wheat and Grass crops are, this year, if 
anything, above the average—that Oats are fair, 
with a deficiency of straw, however. Corn, Avith 
all its drawbacks at planting time, and drouth 
since, will turn out a better crop than many an¬ 
ticipate, for there are a great many lots as line as 
ever grew. Potatoes are somewhat more uncer¬ 
tain. Many large lots exhibit a sorry face—all 
the tops dead, and doubts as to the soundness at 
root; hut this state of things is contrasted witli a 
large amount of most promising appearance, that 
furnish fine specimens of large size and excellent 
quality—there will be no scarcity.— Ashtabula

Central Bridge, Schoharie Co., N. Y. 
H AVING made some valuable improvements in these 
machines this season, (for which a patent has been 
applied for,) which makes them superior to anything of 
the kind iu use—as was fully established at the late trial of 
Agricultural Implements at Geneva, N. Y., where they 
were placed in competition with a number of other ma¬ 
chines, when we threshed more in the same lenqi^i of time 
with the same amount of power used, than any other ma¬ 
chine there. We threshed with two horses more than 
one half as fast as was done with the best eight horse lever 
power there, and faster than some of them did with six 
horses. 
We also make to order a Thresher and Separator com¬ 
bined, which cleans the cliafi' from the grain, and works 
equal to anything of the land in use,—to be used with 
the Railroad Horse Power. We also make large Separa¬ 
tors for eight horses, which have threshed more than 1,000 
bushels of grain in a day. (This Separator was patented 
by Jacob V. A. Wemple and George Westinghouse, July 
13, 1811, and has an extended reputation.) 
Having entire confidence in the superiority of these ma¬ 
chines, we do not hesitate to let any honorable person Like 
one and try it, and upon such trial if lie does not think it 
the best machine of the kind he has seen he shall have the 
machine without pay. 
We warrant these machines in all cases to suit the pur¬ 
chaser upon trial; if not lie can return the machine and 
have his money refunded if paid. These machines are for 
sale by J. RAPALJE A Co., Rochester, and J. S. A II. C.

ALBANY, August 28.—This has been a very quiet day

Flour—The Eastern and home inquiry for Flour is very 
limited, and ihe transactions this morning have been 
quite meagre and not sufficient to establish quotation-'. 
The sal -s, which were only a few hundred barrels, were

form is considerably longer than usual, avoiding the liabil¬ 
ity of large or unsteady horses stepping over or off at either

The advantages of these arrangements are numerous, 
and plainly seen—one of which is removing all the gearing 
and wearing parts to the outside of the power, where it is 
free from dust aud dirt, Ac., and where it may be boxed 
up, requiring little time or oil to keep them in tlie best pos¬ 
sible running order. 
The liability of breakage and wear, and slipping o ( links

We might give other testimony in regard to the superi¬

protected from any chance of loss, which we consider a 
sufficient inducement for ali to purchase who want ma-

They are warranted to be well made, and to be made of

Sad Cask. —The Louisville papers mention the 
case of a negro who cut his throat in that city on 
Sunday week. It was said, we learn from 
the Journal, that he had paid several hundred 
dollars towards purchasing his freedom to his 
master, who, nevertheless, had sold him within a 
few days, to a negro trader. It is such incidents 
as this, that give foundation and weight to the 
scenes of slave horrors described with so much 
effect in “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin.”
