| opposition on the part of Governor MUNRoE.
We see that even after the adoption of the State
constitution he threatened "to use all the forces
at his command TO prevent New Mexico from
constituting a sovereign State in advance of
Congressional action" With what reason,
then can il be affirmed that the military com
mandant was encouraging the formation of a
State government under the authority of the
Federal Administration The narrative of
Major WEIGHrMAS requires no verihcaton,
but we may remark that it bears the impress
of reason and probability. 1t was natural that
the military and civil authorities in New
Mexico should prefer the continuance of the
existing system; il is not rational to suppose
them advocating its overthrow They could
not wish the appointing power under which
they enjoyed emolument and influence should
be superseded by government which would
depend upon popular, possibly upon party, dis
cretion.
Although the Union does not seem to consider
the letter of Mr.. w. as impugning any of its po-
sitions, it certainly disproves the charge SO per-
tlnaciously insisted upon that the movement in
favor of State organization originated with
the military commandment at the instigation of
the Executive.
The Union moreover alleges that It's charge
is sustained by official evidence. 1t however
happens that this assertion is contradcted by
the proclamation of Governor MUNRoE, which
conclusively acquts the Administration and
sustains the letter of Major W.:

Lining.

There can be no doubt, Mr. Editor, but
the extensive use of Lime with other pre-
cautions was last year very effectual in
guarding off the Cholera, and promoting
the health generally, of those towns which
practiced it. May it not be well to raise
the alarm again, to induce those of our
citizens who have not lined this year, at
once to scatter it in their cellars, on all
wet grounds, on manure-heaps, in pig-pens,
privies, and wherever any stencil (Which is
generally a poisonous emission, containing
the seeds of disease) is found. Heads of
families, and particularly females, should
see carefully and strictly to it that their
houses and tenements are well lined and
ventilated. Merchants and mechanics,
see that your premises are kept clean and
sweet. Besides being healthy, lining is
pleasant to the eye, and every way worthy
of its general and annual use "a word
to the wise is sufficient least

amined several certificates in regard to the
use Of it, ere OF them from person " ho
has a large dairy. and who has used the
invention for the last six months. and high
ly recommends it us being a valuable Ia
bor.saving invention. Where the cow $

Sowing Wheat in July.

All crops of winter wheat that we have
seen among US, this spring, and thus far
ia the summer, look extremely well; and
all that we have heard from are very
promising.
This is good encouragement. We be-
leve that the culture Of this variety Of
whea, will succeed well with all the Maine
farmers who know how TO do it, and The
knowing hoc, is very easily obtained.
. The experience OF our farmers directs thai
the soil should be in good heart-sow ear.
ly-sow upon The furrow. and cultivate ii
in, or harrow i, deer. Some cross plough
it in with light ploughs-make bitches 10
lead off any water that would stand upon
il, and if it forms joints before fall, feed II
of with sheep or light cattle. By pursu-
ing this course, we verify believe that win
er wheat will not fail, by being winter
killed, any oitener than winter rye or than
our grass crop does. Some have suggest
ed the utility OF sowing III July.
= Two years ago, Mr.. J. Jones published
q communication in The American Farmer
on the subject. He there stated ,ha, Mr-
Messenger Of Newark, in Delaware, had
pracrised, for FIVE Or six years, the plan o.
sowing his whea, in July. lie sowed
among his corn. and cultivated ii in, and
by this practice frequently obtained as
much as twenty five bushels 10 the single
acre. During the six years. he did not
fail 10 make good crop but once.
He was not in the habit of pas,urns his
with sheep in the fall. Probably there
was two reasons Why this " as not required
IN this case, viz: BY his sowing in corn
i; did no, come forward so fast as il alone,
and the winters in Delaware not being SO
severe as with US in Maine, i, did no, be-
come necessary 10 crop it off II too lar
grown before winter. lie mentions that
Mr.. Bowman was in the habit Of pasiurlng
his July-sown wheat with sheep, and that
by il he avoided the Hessian fly, which,
in that region was thought 10 deposit lis
eggs in the joints during the fall.
We hope The Farmers of Maine will ex'
lend the culture of winter wheat this year
The success that has thus far crowned the
experiments Of those who have ven!ured
10 ,ry them, in this branch Of farming. Is
highly encouraging. Fauh aud good works.
which are as necessary in agriculture as
in religion, will carry you through, tr-
umpbantly.-Mdine Farmer.
