GEORGEY'S OWN ACCOUNT OF
HIS SURRENDER.
Gross WARpEN, Aug 1G.

To Gen. Klapka: My Dear Nlapka.
Since we saw one another, events have
taken place which were moi, indeed, unex-
pecled, but have been decisive. The ever
lasting jealously Of the Government, the
common jealousy of some Of its members,
had fortunately brought matters to The
point which | loretold in April. When /
had passed the Thesis at Tokay. after
many honorable ballles with the Russians,
the Diet declared its wish that | should
he commander. iu-chcf, Kossulh secretly
appointed Benz. The country believed
that Kossuth had appointed me, from The
jesulical answer which he gave to The mo.
lion Of the Diet.
This knavery (spi'z buhcreil was the
source of all which befel later. DeabinskI
was beaten at Szoreg; BEN was routed at
Maros. Vasarhely. Tie latter hastened to
Temcsvar, under the walls Of which Dem
b:nski had retired. lIc arrived on The field

some hours, bu, was then defeated in such
wise thar, according 10 Kossu'h's calcula-
lion oul Of 80, ,00O men, only 5000 remain
ed together. The rest were all dispersed,
as Vecsey announced 10 me. In the mean-
time The austraus advanced between Arad
and Temcsvar. The Minister Of War had
given orders 10 Dembinski 10 retreat nalu-
rally to the friendly fortress Of Arad, and
not TO the hostile one Of Temesvar. Dem.
Linski. however acted against these orders

consequence Of all this, was that | stood
alone with the force which had brought

losses which sustained at Wailzen, Res.

From The Greenville Mountaineer.
WHEAT CULTURE,

An intelligent friend suggested to US the
other, day that we remind the farmers.
as he season for Wheat sowing approa-
chcs. Of the propricty of preparing their
lands thoroughly for the seed. The deep>
or lands are broken with Coulter and
Subsoll Plough The better; and lho more
thoroughly the land lis puverised by plough
Ing or narrowed, the more Wheat will il
yield. Very poor land, as everybody
knows, is not fit 10 sow in Wheat, yet
everybody does not practice on this know
ledge. Farmers who have no slroug,
fresh lan,is, or rich bottoms. would do
well 10 manure every acre Of Wheat sown;
and if they can manure nvne, and only
have thin land, sow no Wheat. But every
farmer almost that sows Wheat has it in
his power to manure more or less. Bet.
Ter have two acres Of vel manured land
IN Wheat, Than len acres ef thin land
Supposing the 10. to yield SO bushels,
(which is a largo allowance for common
poor lands, even those that are fresh,) two
acres well manured will yield, say DO Of
AZ bushels, little more or less. The far.
mar thus saves in seed S bushels, and thus
actually realizes the more Wheat by less
labor, aud on one-ffth of the land. The
acres not sowed will produce gond
crop Of Oats, another clear advantage
The common late Wheal, according 10 oul
experience, should he sown about the IC
or middle Of October, in this latitude
The Hunter Wheat, and other early kinds
about "a month later. In very rich land
good Wheat has been raised from seed
sown in December or early in January,
the lower down the country the later the
sowing.
The opinion founded, i, is said, on ex.
periencc, is confidently held by many far
mers that Wheat may oe sown the latter
part of September or early in October
without risk ofiujury, from the fly, ii sheep
or calves are permitted TO feed on it. The
theory is, that The egg of The fly is Destroy
ed in the blades eaten of. We think the
theory well supported by numerous facts
we have seen reported. In manuriug for
Wheat we would suggest one caution;
that that the manurcs containing oats and
rye, or Whea, grains mixed with from the
stables, as is often he case, should bo
ploughed into The ground sometime before
the Wheat is sown,.. that all exlraneous
seeds may germinate and be destroyed
when the true seed is deposited.
As to kinds Of Wheat; we think, in most
sections OF our District, that known as The
Hunter has proved the most certain crop;
liz also makes superior flour. The old
