AGRICULTUUJ3. I AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS. I The week opened with a hot day, wind ranging from north-east to south-east. Monday was a fine day and a great deal of harvest work was accomplished. Wind, N.N .E. Thermometer 72 degs. Barometer 30.20. 'lues- day was a dull day, but it held up fair, and our advices on that day were, From the East Riding of Yorkshire, running thus Weather continues as favourable as possible for harvest, and cutting is going on in all directions in good earnest. Seldom or ever was a finer season experienced for the in- gathering of the crops, and in the southern counties a good portion is already housed." From the West Riding of the same county, it was re- marked We have to report a continuance of dry warm weather, and the cutting of grain is proceeding well; but little yet carried. Wheat and barley are well spoken of as to samples and weight: but the barley would be better, no doubt, for a few nice showers. Potatoes are advancing in price, and many small are found this year. Turnips and mangold-wurzel are still drooping for want of rain. A great deal of wheat will be carted in the Doucaster dis- tricts before the end of the week, if the weather con- tinues fiue." From Norfolk the same day it was stated The wea- ther continues brilliant, and harvest work is rapidly pro- ceeding. The root crops are suffering severely from want of moisture." From Suffolk it was stated We have a continuance of warm, dry weather, and harvest operations are pro- gressing favourably." From Lincolnshire it was remarked: "The weather during the past week has been all that could bs desired for harvest operations, and ,reat progress has bee a made in these districts." From Lancashire it was stated: Harvest work is now pretty general in West Lancashire. The crops, though somewhat partial, have assumed a rich and golden livery, generally associated with the idea of abundance. Barley -1 -L.- -u_ itnu oais promise large yields. \V heat by no means euual to last year, but rather fair; cutting and cartin"- is the order of the day, very little field room being necessary. Potatoes are abundant, and of evcellent qualify. Turnips other roots, and pastures are failures for want of rain." On Wednesday it was rather cooler, but no rain, and harvest work has been pushed on most vigorously, From Nottinghamshire the advices were "A consider- able quantity of grain has been cut and carried since last week. As regards the wheat crop the accounts vary in some places it is pretty good, while in others there will be a deficiency. Barley looks well, but the grain would be benefited by a few genial showers. Oats are a light crop; beans vary; pasture and loot crops are in a very pcof tate." From Suffolk on Thursday, near the coast, they were The weather continues hot and parching, but with very cold nights the glass a little lower, and should the wet of northern Europe be travelling to us, those who secured their crops during a dry and warm atmostphere will not repent. Harvest is fast progressing around us on the early lands the wheat is all secured, and a portion of the barley. The quality of the new wheat does not improve in estimation, and, with some exceptions, is far inferior to last year." More inland in the same county it was remarked: Availing themselves of continued fine weather, farmers are pushing on with harvest work, and bring very little grain to market. A large breadth of wheat has been se- cured, and some barley. Samples of both crops are ex- hibited, quality ranging from very fine to moderate. Re- ports of yield continue to vary." Friday was a very dry day, and much corn was secured —N.N.E.; thermometer, 64 degs.; barometer falling steadily down to 29.60 in., threaaening a ehance. From the West Riding of Yorkshire it was stated: Since my advices of Tuesday, I have to report a con- tinuance of dry weather, but it has been cooler, and nights frosty. To-day is dull. and a speedy change is indicated. A good deal has been done in reaping and carrying during the week. Some samples of new Yorkshire barley were shown, quality rather hard and steely. On Saturday morning, from 7 to 8 a.m., there was rain, the day was morning, it held up until 4 p.m., when a little more rain dull, but it held up until 4 p.m., when a little more raia fell, but it was not sufficient to prevent carting. The wind was N.E., and in the evening was round to the S. W. barometer, 28 29 70 in. and slightly rising. Still, rain was tllrCV*ttLt L(xitc Erpreis,

AMERICA. THE OPERATIONS BEFORE MOBILE. The Richmond papers of August 10th publish Jes- patches from Mobile, announcing the surrender to Arl- miral Farragut, on August 8th, of Fort Gaines, with a garrison of GOO men, and provisions for six months. The surrender is pronounced inexplicable, shameful, and humiliating. Fort Powell was evacuated and blown up on August 7th. Fort Morgan is still held by the Confederates The iron-clad Morgan, the only vessel of the Confe- derate fleet which escaped, had reached Mobile. No operations of importance at Atlanta are reported. Yesterday, portions of Stonenian s cavalry escaped, reducing the total loss to 1,000. General Sheridan's forces were movilg up the Shcn- andaah valley, 10 miles from Winchester, yesterday afternoon. Mr Stanton has not resigned, as was stated by the New York World" and New York Times." An enormous mass meeting has been held at New York, to nominate M'Clellan for the Presidency. The "New York Herald" estimates that 100,000 persons were present. Resolutions were passed denouncing Mr Lincoln's policy, and recommeding M'Clellan's noilima- tion on a constitutional platform.

THE MLRSEY STEAM SAW MILLS COMPANYJ LIMITED have just issued their prospectus which will be found in our advertising colamns. The Comyany have arran-d to purchase from Matthew Gregon, Esq., his extensive mills, known as the Mersey Steam Saw Mills, and have also secured the powerful mills of the Brunswick Steam Saw Mills Company, all now in powerful operation and replete with every convenience. The object of the com- pany is to purchase those important concerns and to work them, so as to meet at all time tne daily increasing exigencies of the vast timber trade of the port of Livci? pool. Mr Matthew Gregson, has consented to act as chairman. The company will, therefore, have the ad- vantage of his long experience in superintending the working of mills. Both mills are contaguous to the railways, docks, and water conveyances, thereby causing easy transition for the timber. It is also intended to take power for the erection of mil is at Birkenhead.

REJOICINGS IX C RLE BRATION OF THE OPENING OF THE MID-WALES RAILWAY. The opening of the Mid Wales Line was celebrated on Wednesday" with great rejoicing. All the way from Lianitlloe ]>,I.Ceozl, lie inhabitants of the towns and villages through which the line passes, and the sur- rounding districts, testified in an unmistakable manner their s,.ij,e of the advantages conierrud by the railway, and their delight at the prospect of speedily enjoying those advanfages. And at Brecon itself, the southern terminus of the line, the friends and weli-wislit-rs of this great and import.int uitdertakittg assembled in large numbers to celebrate the event, and offer and receive mutual congratulations on the successful completion of the works." The celebration throughout was of the most satisfactory nature, as our readers will see from our report of the proceedings. The Mid-Wales, as most of our readers know, is the Iftst "reat link in the route of railway communication connecting North and South Wales, and the manufac- turing districts of Lancashire with the ports and Mi- nerafiields of the southern part of the principality. Its importance, therefore, in this respect, can scarcely be over rated, if, indeed, it cau be properly estimated and the opening of the line is an event affecting the whole principality—even more, perhaps than the districts im- mediately bordering upon the line, though the local benefits will doubtless be great and manifold. The sin- g ilar beauty of the country through which the line passes must naturally render it one of the favourite routes for Welsh tourists, who could scarcely find a plea- santer excursion, in many respects, than that which the travellers on the Mid-Wales enj oyed 011 Tuesday. Start- ing from Llanidloes, and wending its way between the hifls of Radnorshire, which attract by their peculiarity, more, perhaps, than their beauty, and then passing for miles along the banks of the romantic Wye, the Mid- Wales line completes it lifty-five miles of cliaiiiiiii scenery by depositing the traveller in one of the pret- tiest, ( lea :e-t, sw. etest little towns that traveller ever visited. The Mid-Wales proper is fifty miles in length, within a fraction, extending faun Llanidloes to the junc- tion with the Hereford, Hay, and Brecon at Talyllyn, from which place to Brecon it was some four or live miles further. The works on the Mid-Wales, which have been completed in two years and a half by the contrac- tors, Messrs Watson and Ovcrend who are also con- tractors for the Wrexham, Mold and Connah's Quay Railway, have been of a comparative easy character, with the exception of some difficult and extensive rock cuttings, and a great number of bridges. There are only two tunnels between Llanidloes and Tallyllyn, an d both are short; one within three or four miles to the north, and the other immediately to the south of Rhay- ader. The engineers are Messrs Benjamin and Robert Piercy, who, with the resident engineer, Mr Atkinson, have, it is scarcely necessary to say, given the greatest II itisfaetion to all connected with the undertaking. The same may be said of the contractors, whose admirable work, manifested to the traveller by the smoothness of the road, as well as to the many experienced eyes which examined it on Tuesday, was the object of general re- 111 irk. §? Oil Tuesday morning special trains were de- spatched from Oswestry, Shrewsbury and Brecon, to meet the Hi rectors at Llanidloes. By twelve o'clock all the trains had arrived there, and the Mid Wales train, consisting of fourteen carriages, and filled with passen- gers, was ready to start for Brecon. About twelve o'clock the train departed for Brecon, where it arrived at half-past two. All the stations along the line were decorated with flags and evergreens, some of them very tastefully and profusely, and everywhere crowds of people collected and did all that Welsh lungs could do to express their gratification, and wish success to the uadertaking. Arrived at Brecon the company proceeded to the Castle Inn, where dinner was provided by the Directors on a very liberal scale, though the excursion of so many visitors was evidently two much for the Brecon waiters. Mr G. H. Whaliey, M.P., Chairman of the Company presided. Amongst those present at the dinner were the follow- ing ladies and gentlemen:—Mrs Whaliey, Captain Johns, Rhiwport, and Mrs Johns, Mr James Overcud, London, and Mrs Overend, Mr Thomas Savin and Mrs Savin, Mr John Savin, Mr Benjamin Piercy, C.E., Mr r" I'iercy, C.E., Mr Ashbury, Mr Farmer, Montgomery, Mr J.

When the dessert had been placed on the table, and grace 11:111 been said by the Rev. W. Rowland. The Chairman, Mr Whaliey said on the part of the Mid-Wales Company, he begged leave to thank those present very sincerely for their presence there that day. He begged leave to bid them a most hearty welcome, and to invite them to pledge a toast to the Queen. (Ap- plause. ) Other loyal and patriotic toasts were then drank and responded to. The Chairman in proposing the toast of the day said he did not feel any difficulty in proposing that toast to a company who had just travelled through 50 miles of the most magnificent scenery that this country could resent. (Applause.) Connecting North and South Wales as this railway did, and stli'l iii ore -affording the shortest and Lest communication with the most populous, the most enterprising, the most commercial, the most manufactur- ing districts of the north,—he did not think, and if he had any doubt, their presence would remove it, that any labour fell upon any une who had to propose that toast. (Applause,) He would merely remark that it was on be- half of the Mid-W ales they were there that day- that the directors of the Mid-Wales had invited them, and thanked them for coming to join in congratulations on the accomplishment of that great undertaking. (Ap- plause.) He would not dwell upon it. Before such an audience as he had the honour of addressing, to dwell upon the point, further than merely to mention it, would not, as it appeared to him, be either necessary or be- eomming. But they would, perhaps, pardon him for atating, on behalf of himself and his colleagues at the Board, one fact which he was sure it would be a giatifi- cation to them to learn. They came to that part of the country, many of them almost for the first time. They were strangers at Brecon, and came there from North Wales. They in Brecon might have heard— I of the continuous exertions which had been going on t%v Ive or fourteen years in connection with Welsh rail- ways. At that time, amulet miiny discouragements and difficulties, and with nothing to sustain tliein but the faith which an earnest and honest cause would give to earnest and honest men, they set about the promotion of various railway undertakings in North Wales, and so they went on till those results were aciiieved, which were now visible to all and there were present that day many of the gentlemen who originated and took the chief part in completing those railways in the North. (Applause,) In completing those railways in the nor- ther portion of that great and important route between North and South Wales—they said-and it was regard- ed as a most audacious and ambitious efiort they said —let us further, in addition to effecting communication in our orn country, also provide communication between the north and south of the Principality; and so they projected the Mid-Wales line. It was intended that the Mid-Wales should from part of the entire sys- tem between South Wales and Lancashire, but in the eariv part of the present year circumstances arose which defeated those expectations. Still would they not be rrjad that great as were their exertions to obtain connec- tion with the northern section, disappointed and grieved as they had been at the failure of those efforts,-all thingsbad turned out for the best. He would say no- thing in answer to any charges that might have been broug-ht against his colleagues or himself, except that thev were actuated throughout by a spirit of which they could justly be proud. They were disappointed indeed for a moment, and for a short time it appeared as if all their views and expectations had been defeated, and the Mid-Wales was severed from the northern section and there was an interruption in the route. But he was sure it would be gratifying to all of them who might only have heard of these matters by echo, to hear now that the directors believed nothing could have happened more fortunately for the public, or more happily to the interests of the Mid-Wales, that no portion couLl be more satisfactory in every respect, if they had designed and framed it from the first. (Hear, hear.) [Mr Whaliey then proceeded to describe the present position of the railway and concluded by asking them to drink the toast, which at the call of Mr Savin was honoured in a bumper. ] After this speech a number of other toasts were pro- posed and responded to, and the return train started for Llanidloes at eight o'clock.

I CORRESPONDENCE. I I'?-  I NORTH AND SOUTH. I SLAVERY, AND EMANCIPATION, I FEDERATION AXD CONFEDERATION. I To the Editor of the Wrexham Advertise!' I SIR,-In following up the discussion of this subject which I commenced a few weeks ago, I think the letter of a Cambrian" scarcely deserves the attention which your correspondent Deira," devotes to it last week. A Cambrian" gives utterance to a number of cant plati- tudes similar to what the Morning Star has dished up for its readers (1..11 navaeum and proudly classifies him- self with a number of stump orators—worthy allies in the defence of a war which has caused more bloodshed and misery than any war of modern times. With regard to his remarks pertaining to myself, I may say that while I have read most, if not all, that has appeared in the Advertiser during the last three years, I have noted a preponderance of correspondence in favour of the Federals at the early part of the war, and more recently in favour of the Confederates. In fact the pertinacity of the Americans in their conduct of the war, and the imbecility and incapacity of the Federal officers, has so disgusted the generality of liberal Englishmen with the North, that three-fourths of the intelligence met with in town and country is sympathetic with the South, although in favour I of the North at the breaking out of the wir. In my first letter, the question of "the right of the Confederates to secede";—independent of the question of slavery—is, I consider, sufficiently proved; and in reply to a "Cambrian" I say, a "moral and constitutional- right constitutional because moral, for wherever a con- stitutional right has existed antagonistic to a moral one' nations have not hesitated—when they had the power to scatter it to the winds and if a Cambrian" does not consider my arguments sufficiently prove my position, then let him refute them seriatim, and not take refuse ill the paltry position of requiring me to prove agaÍn, that which has already been proven. The affirmative reply to my second question, is so self confident, that even a "Cambrian" does not require proof of the right of the Federals to use force in maintaining the Union in- tact." The third question and its corollary-the bearing of slavery upon the American rebellion, and the fact that British sympathy for the negro, should not destroy British sympathy for the Confederates—as brave a people as ever threw off tyrranical yoke, and fought for their right to self government, and that the Confederates are emin- ently deserving of that sympathy, is also proved in my second letter. Having thus cleared away some of the cobwebs that obscure the consideration of the American question, ana stated a lew reasons why England should not withhold her sympathy from the Confederates, I may, perhaps, be permitted to state a few reasons why she should positively sympathize with them: and the first shall be, that in the interest of the slave, we should sym- pathize with the South, for if the North is sincere in her desire for the emancipation of the slaves, she will abolish slavery in her own territories, and then all slaves setting foot on Federal ground will be free; thus, by making the Potomac, or whatever other boundary may be ultimately declared between North and South, the boundary between the slave and freedom, the long underground race to Canada will be abolished, and the escape of the Slave ftteilitated the effect of which will be to lower the value of slave property to a point next to worthless, and thus the demands of labour will necessitate an importation of free labourers, and slavery will become gradually extinct. A second reason why we wish success to the South, is, that the vastness of the territory belonging to the States is such, that it would be to the interest of the population of that territory and the world outside, that there should be more than one seat of government, and the existence of a Southern Confederacy, would unquestionably double the trade of America with European ports. There is not an article she may require but could be more cheaply im- ported from Europe than it is at present manufactured in the Northern States, and forced upon the whole of the States by a import tariff, Another reason, and one which should weigh more with Englishmen than any other is tins :—That it is to England's interest that the United States should form two independent nations. This can be proved from whatever stand point we choose to look at it. Commercially, because it would open up new channels of trade between England and Southern porta, which have hitherto been sealed by the Northerners by high tariffs, for the benefit of Northern manufacture. Politically, be- cause it would conduce to a more even balance of power upon the American continent, which, if we weigh the im- portance of our interests on that continent, and the hatred with which England, as a nation, is regarded by the bulk of the Northern population, and also the self conceit and braggadocia with which that hatred is expressed, would be the most important consideration of any for an Eng- lishman. My own conclusions, therefore, upon the whole matter, are :-That the South had a right to revolt. II. That J in attempting to become independent, it is entitled to the sympathy of Englishmen. III. That the bearing of slavery upon the question should rather increase than diminish that sympathy. IV. That it is the interest of England as a nation that the South- sh.ould succeed in achieving its independance. A Cambrian" may not consider these fou)- co)zclzsio?i.s proved, but I know the arguments will be satisfactory to three-fourths of your readers. The next question is- I should England recognise the Confederate States govern- men ? If it be the duty, in the interests of humanity, for nations to interfere for the purpose of preventing blood- shed upon the largest scale ever witnessed in modern times, and when it is palpable to an impartial observer, that no result can be achieved, then it is the duty of Eng- land to do so, and under the aspect borne by the war for i the last year, it is manifest that the recognition of the South would have been the most effectual mode of stop- ping the war; but under the present aspect of the situation," it appears that the beginning of the end" has come; signs of weakness and exhaustion, accompanied with dissatisfaction, are appearing among the Federals, and in all probability the next Presidential election will be the inauguration of another peaceful era on the Ameri- can continent, accompanied by the establishment of the Southern Confederacy, as a recognised independent nation, leaving the reign of Abe Lincoln-" that noble, virtuous, and holy patriot," according to Cambrian"— the bloodiest page of modern history. With this probable result of the war, the recognition of the South is un- necessary, and the strict and impartial neutrality hitherto maintained by our foreign minister, Earl Russell, will not have to be deviated from, thereby conducing, perhaps, to a less bitter and more permanent solution of the matter. FLANEUR, THE KEARSARGE. f'YY .'7 .1-. 10. 10 tlie L(tttor 07 the Wrexham Advertiser. The traitor flag it floated wide, naught but a craven lie." To cover-coward quilt, and—infamy. Sir,—I am surprised you should admit such verses into your paper, they must be very offensive to some of your readers. The author would not get a very favourable re- ception on the Liverpool Exchange, or in the neighbour- hood of Laird's shipyard at Birkenhead. I should feel ashamed to cc py the words as they appear in print. I am, Sir, you obedient servant, Llwyn offa, Mold, C. BUTLER CLOUGH. August 20th, 1SG4. The verses in question where sent us by a correspondent who recently left this neighbourhood for the Federal States, and were written by him and inserted in Har- per's Weekly" not as an expression of his own senti- ments, but as an embodiment of the feeling with which the news of the sinking of the Alabama was received on the other side of the Atlantic -E.W.A.

CAPTURE OF THE "GEORGIA." Much excitement was caused in Liverpool on Tuesday, when it was announced that the famous Confederate crusier Georgia had been captured. Some months since the Georgia came to Liverpool, and, after lying in the river several days, entered the Birkenhead Docks, where she underwent a thorough overhaul; after which she was put up for sale by public auction, and Mr Edward Bates, the well-known Liverpool and East India mer- chant, became the purchaser. There, however, still re- mained a mystery about the future movements of this vessel, as she was generally considered to be anything but a merchant vessel, her very build, &c., being againsnt .0 00 her. Yet, notwithstanding all the current rumours, the owners of the Georgia staunchly maintained that the vessel was a bona fide merchantman. Matters went on U ltil about three weeks ago. when the Federal war steamer Niagara entered the Mersey, and the destina- tion of the Georgia (which was then loading in the Queen s Dock) was again the subject of conversation. On the morning that the Niagara left Liverpool, the Georgia was just leaving the dock as the Federal vessel passed down the nver. All at once the cruiser" was hauled back, and did not leave the river nntil two days after the Niagara had sailed. The Georgia sailed on the 8th of Angust, for Lishon and the West Coast of Africa, with a very valuable cargo, under the command of Captain Withycombe, a well-known blockade runner. On the 15th, when off Berlingos Pcint, 12 or 15 miles north of Lisbon, she was captured by the Niagara. The crew of the Georgia was transferred to the Niagara, a fresh crew put on board, and the vessel was headed for New York, while the Niagara steered for Dover, where she landed 35 of the crew, the other 20 joining the Nia- gara, under the plea that they were not British subjects. It is believed here that the seizure is a legal one, and that previous to the sale of the Georgia the Government had warned the public against purchasing any vessel which was alleged to be, 0 or have been, owned by the Confederate government.

DENBIGH, RUTHIN AND CORWEN RAILWAY.—After a long delay, the branch line of the Vale of Clwyd Rail- way from Corwen to Ruthin, has ac least been pronounced ready and safe for traffic, and the first passenger train from Corwen passed through Ruthin this (Thursday) morning en route to Llandudno. A large number availed themselves of this opportunity of a cheap and expeditious transit to the Eisteddfod. We understand that the line I is to be formally opened on the 1st September. I
