EXTRAORDINARY CROP OF WHEAT.—Mr. Forster,
of Withycombe, near Exmouth, exhibited on Friday, in
the Exeter corn market, a sample of wheat estimated at
from 55 to 60 bushels per acre. It was grown in not a
very good soil, and was drilled at the rate of two pecks
and a half to the acre. The ears of corn when growing
were from 5 to 7 inches in length.
EDITORIAL. COURTESY IN AMERICA.—One of the fa-
vourite arguments of the advocates of the duello is, that
where the obligation of personal " satisfaction " is as-
knowledged it begets a decorum of manners and a
courtesy of expression highly conducive to social refine-
ment and a chivalric tone of society. A remarkable
exemplification of the effect of the duello is occasionally
exhibited by our editorial brethren down South. Those
chivalric papers of Richmond, Virginia, the Whig and
the Enquirer, whose former editors fought one of the
most savage duels a few years since that the history of
duelling makes any mention of, are just now engaged in
a war of blackguardism which must be closed by per
sonal combat with some sharper instruments than the
steel pen. Both of these papers have bestowed the
highest encomiums upon Brooks for the assault upon
Senator Sumner. The Enquirer recently alluded to the
Whig in these highflown terms :—" The sheepish spirit
of a stricken conscience is betrayed in every word and
syllable of the paragraph. Its clisgrnAieg egotism and
vulgar taste are altogether worthy of the writer's repu•
Cation. A. man who scribbles under tho habitual in
spiration of refuse whisky, whose daily contributions t(,
the public press consist of the lees of last night's revel
whose grammar would condemn him to the foot' of the
class in an old field schoolhouse ; whose literature is
limited to a familar acquaintance with the labels on the
brandy bottles—be to talk of editing a decent newspaper!
This, indeed, is 'sublime impudence.' Beaten in argu-
treat, convicted of every sort of inconsisteeny and self
stultification, driven into a corner and pinioned there
beyond the power of escape, the editor of the Wh'g has
our permission to indulge his low-horn instincts in low
nvieuai
flung bravado.'' Of course the Witiy replies in a simili•
Ear
vigour
s possibly
,
to which its antagonist rejoins with increasedg,
and bitterness. Anything, worse than this could
be exhibited, even where personal satisfac-
tion is never demanded nor given.7,l\Tm york Timesh
