EXTRAORDINARY CROP OF WIIRAT.—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 Soutb. 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
Sfllator 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 disgusting egotism and
vulgar taste are altogether worthy of the writer's repu-
tation. A man who scribbles under the habitual in-
spiration of refuse whisky, whose daily contributions to
the public press consist of the lees of lest 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—he to talk of editing a decent newspaper!
This, indeed, is 'sublime impudence.' Beaten in argu-
ment, convicted of every sort of inconsistecny and self-
stultification, driven into a corner and pinioned there
beyond the power of escape, the editor of the TVlbig has
our permission to indulge his low-horn instincts in low-
flung bravado." Of course the IVh,ig replies in a simili-
lax strain, to which its antagonist rejoins with increased
vigour and bitterness. Anything worse than this could
not possibly be exhibited, even where personal sat'sfac-
tion is never demanded nor given.—New York, Time.
