The first floor of the centre building is devoted to offices and dining rooms ; for the subordi nate officials "'of the institution, apothecary shop1, l'c; the second to the use of the Superintenderit and family; and the third to a neat little Ohapel,;&c. Either wing, on each floor,, .is composed of wards fJr the insane, female wards on the right and male on the left. These wards areattend ed by competent keepers, and are arrang ed with that degree of comfort and accom modation that are necessary and proper to the peculiar cases of the inmates. There are at present, about 19-5 patients,--abbut equally divided between the sexes. The entire jbuilding is heated by steam, and water in abundance for drinking, bath ing and clothes-washing, is supplied by the same agency.r'The;c0oking, alsois done through the same means.

Some of the more violent Radicals acknowledge that I West Virginia exists only .by tl;e effect of revolutionary measures, both in that State' arid iri Con gress. . One Senator distinctly stated 'that he voted for West Virginia, knowing it to be. unconstitutional, because8 ihe Constitu tion was suspended by the war, and) all things were in"a revolutionary condition. Rut even that bold plea for' Radical le-is-' .lation was denied by.the majority of ithe Radical leaders.and there is no pretence lor it now. All is peace, and the Coiisti- -tutton is the 'only law on whicb Congress rests" for any of its powers. Is Virginia dead because the war 13 encled?

We drift along from one grand error to another, and are ra-idly losing sight of the only safe anchorage fo'r the ship lof state. Inconsistencies mark the wholfc course of. the Radical politics. it is not raw, D!it mad desire lor and power, which seems to guide the course of those who so foolishly accuse the Presi dent of "ursurpation," while they advocate nothing but usurpation. !

At the commencement of tho nre?nnf year the most buoyant hopes were enter tained that the harvests at home und abroad would p.roye most abundant and favorable. : 1 his anticipation was reasonable, as the ter mination of a great war in this country' had restored a million and a half of men to tile pursuits' of peace, and Europe, at the time, was not even menaced by that short and de- cisive war which has been attended wi'h such extraordinary results. It is now very well ascertained that the cereal crops tot Lurope and America will fall very far short ui uje auucipaiions ot the public. Tho wheat crop of this country is, ;.t the South," an utter failure, and iu the West and North not as large as -usual. It is now a well ascertained fact that widely extending :.

In glancing over recent files of the Euro- pean and English papers, we find the mbst depressing statements as to the probability ' of universal scarcity of breadstuff's abroad. The London Saturday Review of the 22nd of September says, " that afterlhp almost continuous rains of the past few weeks. th most hopehjl canriot expect the result of tho gram harvest in England to he favorable." When it is recollected that the harvest coin-' meuces in England during the last.-week in July, and usually ends .about the middle ofAugust, ve can well conceive that' tlio almost ''continuous rains" for two orthreo weeks prior to the 22nd of September, havo greatly damaged the outlying wheat iuj a damp climate like that of'England. j j Turning from Great Rritaitrto the prfn cipal grain producing. portions of Europe, we hud the accounts of the wheat crop not cheering. In Russia the crop is a good brie. In Prussia the wheat is in bad condition.! In Holland and'Relgium the crops are 'so--poorthat they will import, note'xport wheat. The districts of country which have Trieste ior a shipping port have, bad crops, where there was abundance lastyear. In the North ofEurope there is hardly wheat enough for home wants. InvFrance the wheat0 crop was secured much earlier than in England, and we have very accurate information! a to the supply in that country, i So short h the cropthcre that the English agricultu ral journals say "we have to dread'Tranco as a competitor in purchasing the cvr;;w of countries that England had looked to for supplies." Last year Franca lent to Eng land nearly a million and a half quarters of wheat, and nearly two million sacks! of flour. Now England will not'only be de prived that supply, but wiil find France an active competitor in all the markets of Europe. In their report upon the pros pects of a surplus in North America, tlio -English journals report crops of wheat tas very good in Canada, and California, biit short from a fifth to a tenth in the Atlantic ouiius. liicnmmia j tws.
