Information has been received from numer ous reliable Kurces with reference to tb present appearance' of the wheat crop in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio and other Western States. So says the Baltimore Price Current, which adds: ) It the southeastern or principal agricultural counties of Pennsylvania, without exceplion, I the wheat is looking remarkably fine and the quantity sown was much larger tnaq usual as well as can now be judged there will also bo a very large yield of oats, and as the farm ers of that Slate are yearly giving more atten tion to this cereai, there is'rAjod reason to be lieve that the reports of Pennsylvania oats at our market this year will greatly exceed even those of last, when they amounted to over 205,000 bushels. The counties wetof the mountains, it LsstaUd, will not raise more than their uual crop of wheat, whic i is only sufficient for their own wants. Throughout Eastern and Southern Mary hind there is exc-llenl J5romie of a full aver age crop, and in the Western portions of the State of Virginia the farmers anticipate un commonly large harvests. Considerable tracts of poor tat land have, by the application of Gnnno, been turned to very profitable account. and, in numerous cases, appear better adapted to wheat than natural good soil :mnny tueh tracts have been sown in wheat this season for the first time and give promise of impor tant accession to the general product. Both in our own State and Pennsvlranm the crop are rank and heavy, and laborers aVe difficul; to obtain at advanced wages. The accounts from Ohio and Indixna do not so generally concur in the anticipation cf riiure than a full average yield, but th most definite and reliable information shown, on the whole, very flattering prospects there are accidental complaints, ha uua!, but the gen eral yield, it is confidently asserted, will li some twenty per cent, greater than that of last year. , The unfavorable rumors of injury to the growing croi, which soofteli find their way into the papers, are by no meaneaa numerous or alarming as usual indeed we do not find that serious apprehensions are anywhere en tertained either from the fly, rust, or joint worm, except in those few cases already made public, accounts of which are in all probabili ty exaggerate!. It is" to be observed that the very high prices which have recently been realized on grain, and more esicially on wheat, with stronr? probabilities of thair continu inc on account of the war and consequent short Kiirmli.-ft Him li.ive intliicl numv whu ha neglected ce.rals to resuitK their cultivation; r . ...... And tht-se. as well as all others have sown very freelv. The oninion is now almst universal that more land has been put under wheat this sea son than ever before, and that from present piiearanc-s we shall have an unprecedented large wheat harvest in which ca-es, compar aiiv iv low prices mut ensue upon uie tucom ing of the new crop.

Furious Elephant at Iiargre. The-large elephant, Hannibal, attached to the Broadway menagerie, which was on ex hibition at Pawtucket, on the 3d instant, got loose from his keeper on the way from Paw tucket to Fall River, early yesterday inorn ing. Before starting his keeper made him lift the hinder part of a wagon loaded with 3,500 pound, for -the purpose of getting it mto line. It ii supposed that this, although not unusual, might have suggested to him tbe mode of attack which he afterwards made. Wlien about seven miles from Pawtucket lie became furious, turned upon , his keep, f, who iia-J to II v for Iijs Jite and take reluire in a i . a 1111 .i ' i iMiUie, ffot nee, ami rusnea aiong ma roatj, destroying every thing in his way. ' Meeting ahcrse and waijron belonging to Mr. btatlord Shcrt, he thrust his tusk into the horse and lifted horse,' wagon and rider into the air. He mangled the horse terribly and carried him about fiftv feet, and threw the dead body into a pond. The wagon was broken o pie ces, and Mr. Short considerably hurt.! The y elephant broke one of his tusks in this en . o inter. A mile furthr r the elephant, now giosn more furious, attacked in the same manner a horse and wagon, with Mr. Jhomas W. Peck and his son. He broke the waon and bounded th horse, which ran away, Mr. Peck was pretty-badly hurt in the uip.

The elephant would occasionally turn to look at them,, but did not attempt to molest them The next man in the path was Mr. Pearce who was riding with his little son in a one horse w.ion. lie was coming towards the el.phant, and being warned' by. Mr. Barney, turned around and put the horse to his speed, but the leiihant overtook him, ; and seizing the wagn, threw it into the air, dashing it to pieces, and breaking the collar Done and arm of Mr. lVarce. The horse, disengaged from the wa 011. escaped with the fore wheels, and the elephant gave chae for eight miles, but did not catch lum. Ihe elephant came oacK from hi unsuccessful pursuit, ami took up his march aram onthe mam: road, where he n.xt encountered Mr. J. Eddy, with a horse and wacron.

Thomas L. -ngraan, ot isprtn Carolina, in a speecn on the Nebraska bill, marked by his accustomed research and poirer, took . occasion to refer to eiiTahona Intelligencer in the following m, . . , . . ,i ,: . lerm3' ine rorce aim Drev,l7 im wnico uie I history of the Intelligencer is. summed up could not be excelled. It is, in a word, a fojthf.il nirturo of th career of a ioumal , . , -j , , . ' . h, from being an exponent of a great party, Has. degenerated mio tne mere mouin- I piece of faction and fanaticism: . i I "The centleman from . Georgia, (Mr. Ste- phens.) I remember, commented upon j the course of the National Intelligencer. Now, I think that paper is a faithful exponent of the party l allude to. its regard tor tne Missouri Compromise has been assumed only for the present occasion. I remember very well that during ihe struggle, up to '1850, that paper never carae out for this Missouri line, although the South was battling for it for years; nor I Ar It nnno asaorf rnr rirrhf fn nppnnr tlia Tpr- , it0ry in common with the people of the! North, clear and indisputable as that right was. j Its whole weight and influence were covertly but adroitly thrown against us, and on the auti slavery side.. I never attributed this course to any: love o.f liberty on. the part of the con ductors of .that paper. On . the 'contrary, in every struggle between liberty and despotismj it -takes the side of despotism; in every j con test between the United States and any for eign country, it takes ground against the United States. ' It would be marvellous jt our government were, in fact, always wrong on every issue with a foreign nation. I presume, therefore, that it is because ours is thk freest government upon earth that this journal is always found toking sides against it, 'and for our enemies. As to our internal policy, it is the faithful organ' of that party which has labored industriously, as you and I well know, sir, to destroy all the limitations of ' the feder al constitution, and substitute an absolute, central government in its-stead. Tl.ese people have taken their opinions mainly from the tory press and the tory party of England; and these opinions happen to be. anti-slavery as well, as anti-republican. They seem to desire no hierher honor than to have the privilege o adopting and defending everything -j which comes from these sources. It any gentleman will take the trouble to examine some of the British anti-slavery journals, he'will jsee the whole programme of our abolition country men laid down there. They praise and defend the British policy in all tilings. A few years aco, for example, Great Britain voted $100, 000,000 to liberate her negroes in Jamaica and convert them into savages; and since that event-two million--of her white people at home' ha"v pnhed miserabty by famine. It is dTiOr strable, that if that sum had been applied propi-rly at home, every pne of these unfortunate Irish mert, women, and ;children - might have ben saved. Even if she would devote the millions which are now expended annually for the benefit of the HegrovS in Af rica,, she would save the lives of tier own white people. Still, her policy in all things is defended , by her allies,. here. !"GYeat,J3ritain is a very sagacious - power, Mrwl nnf." fess selfish than s;iracious. She knows well that she has more' to drea from the United States than any other nation. She knows that Our people are contestingjwiihher wherever the sea rolls, ana wnerever mma comes in contact with mind. But she is too cautious and far-sighted to assail us oh a point where wo are united. ' Hence she attacks us upon matters connected with Slavery, and straightway- you see the abolition party, head ed bv such leaders - as the gentleman from Ohio; PMr. GiD dings, at once arising in her hfeiialf. and makinffa ternnc ciamor, iinrougu- out the land, and distracting the public mind and di verti ng it from the. real issue. . And you see tnai larger an ci jr f"jf . y " the Intelligencer is an organ, at once likewise taking sides with her upon all such ques tions. . , . . .... .". - .The power of the northern enemies of the Union, and their political and pecuniary re sources, may be now fully realized when we see how they have been able to direct and control the course of such a paper as the Na tional Intelligencer. .

Taylor, of Ohio, to the fact that jt'lwas true to the countrv in 18141 In that dayj the In telligencer was the organ of a war administra tion, and, in part owed its subsistenlce toj that? source. We do not pretend! to attribute its course then to the fact that it enjoyed ofecial patronage, because at this day. the Intelligen cer is a large ; recipient of Congressional pat ronage; but it shows the weakness of) its causa that it is now compelled to go back torty" tears to justify its persevering arji . present hostility to the best interests of the j country; fhemost odious traitor of the reyolutipn might now, be justified to posterity on this sama ground.
