ON ROLLING WHEAT.--Some farmer.
in this neighborhood, have given the fin,
ish to putting in their wheat by rolling
the ground smooth; but my experience
is opposed to this practice. For now
ing indeed the ground cannot be too
smooth; and wheat that is well matted
above and we'll rooted below, will doubt
less be less affected; but late sown wheat
that comes up through IA smooth uniform
surface, is much more exposed and in
Jured by the swcepingIwinds than wheat
that grows on ground left rough by the
harrow. The difference is very great
and there should be any of your read,
ers who doubt it let them run the har-
row in "a few places across the rolled
field and observe the result next spring.
The best time for rolling wheat and
preparing the ground for the scythe is in

BY reference to the legislative procee-
.dings, it will be seen that motion has
been made in the senate to appoint Sc
lect committee to take under advise
ment the subject Of state bank. The
committee are composed of gentlemen
in whom rests an unusual degree OF
confidence, and the report is, consequent
ly, looked for with considerable anxiety.
The skill and judgment which these
gentlemen possess, and the vast quantity
OF information that now lies before them.
induce the belief that the report will
be received with much satisfaction by
the friends Of the measure, and doubt
less will merit and receive the sa me de.
gree Of respect by those opposed to it.
The creation of state bank during the
present session is far more popular than
we had anticipated it would be; that
is, one based upon specie capital
The people seem latterly to take cor
rect view of the measure, and from the
manifestations and feeling which are dali
ly witnessed, and which are becoming
stronger and stronger in favor of estab.
fishing local currency of some sort
there is every reason to believe the mea.
sure, if properly brought forward, will
succeed; it behoves the committee
therefore, to- use the utmost caution in
preparing the report, so that it may be
liable to as few objections as possible.
The citizens of Alton have taken ul
the subject with sincerity and zeal thai
will be likely to aid the establishment
OF an institution very materially. Tha,
town will undoubtedly become the great
commercial mart Of this section Of the
state,sand afford good market for'ou
produce, if its merchants have the cur

their trade, and bank accommodations

The General Post OGce.-The people will

searching calls for information be made bv the
Senate. In regard to the affairs ofthe General
Post Once, there has been deliberate misrenre.

people were assured that the affairs of the POST
Oi1lce were prosperous beyond precedent with
ABUNDANT resources, Notwithstanding the increa-
sea extent OF mail carriage, &c. In the last re-
port the tone was somewhat subdued. as Mr.
Barry had to acknowledge deficit of about
S2OoOOO: but he did not disclose the whole truth
the deception was to be continued, and the
peoples money squandered without their con-
sent or knowledge 1t now appears, in answer
to call from the Senate that Mr.. Barry has
borrowed within the last year, without law. fou,
hundred thousand dollars, besides overdraW WING
postmaster's deposits to an amount which he
estimates at $5O,000-so that the post office de-
partment is now deficient not less than sir ham,
dred thousand dollars! When the Office was
transferred anl to MIR. Barry, he received at least
SSoo,OOO surplus accumulated by Mr. Mclean.
ms sum, added to the present deficit. will
make the pretty little amount of eight hundred
