THE POTATO DISEASE.

From what information we are enabled to
gather from our exchanges, as well as from per.
sona observation in this immediate vicinity we
are lea to the conclusion that the ruvages of this
disease, the present season, are felt throughout
the State, aud the loss sustained will be immense.
Many people are of the opinion that the disease
is in consequence Of The extreme wetness of the
season. This, questionabIy, had an influence
on the effects Of the disease but little reflection
will satisfy the mind that it is not the cause. The
disease existed in seasons remarkable for dryness.
This cannot be denied. Whatever be the cause
of the disease it is not the wetness Of the season.
Wet seasons as we'll as damp soils are inauspi-
cious to root crops and the farmer who plants his
potatoes in a dry loan will do much to counteract
the ravages of the disease.

The Adjuient General of the United
States has issued his recruiting orders for
the ten regiments. They do not say how
many companies will be accepted from
Missouri, Illinois and Iowa. The Illinois
companies will form part of the 10Th regi-
ment Of Infantry, whose head quarters are
to be at Newport, Ky; Col. TIBBarrs
commanding. Each company, as soon as
completed, will proceed to Point Isabel,
under its captain, by the most expeditions
route. The Iowa companies will form
part Of the 18th regiment of Infantry, un-
der command Of Col. MoReAN, whose head
quarters are at Cincinnati. The Missouri
companies will belong to the 18th regi
ment OF Infantry, under command of Col.
WILSON, whose head quarters are at New
Orleans. The Iowa companies must pro-
coed, as soon as formed, to Point Isabel,
under the command OF their respective
officers, and the Missouri companies to
Point Isabel, via New Orleans. 1t is
urged tina, all possible expedition be used
IN completing these companies, and that
due economy may be used.
we have not yet seen a list of appoint
ments for Missouri, and consequently do
not know to whom commissions have been
issued. There will be no difficulty in
raising regiment in this state, if permis-
sion is given. It should be known at
once, who the captains are TO be, and how
many companies will be received from each
state.
