MONTGOMERY, Ala, August IL.
The Tuscaloosa Monitor (whig) admits the elec-
ton of Erwin to Congress His reported majority is
43O. The result in Hubbard's district is doubtful.
The contest is close, but the chances in favor of
Hubbard.
We cannot classify the Legislature, but the Union
men claim majority. AS in many of the counties
the question not made, there is data to make
up an opinion. We think th,. Union men have it.
The Baltimore Sun of Wednesday last, contains a
teiegraphic despatch, dated Montgomery, August Q,
which says Benjamin G. Shields, the Union candi-
date for Governor, has been elected over Henry W.
Collier, Secessionst.'' Mr. Collier is the incum-
bent. We DO not credit this statement in the Sun.
The RESULT. We have word or two to say about
the result in this District, but shall await the rece
of full returns before say it. In the mean time
refer the reader to the column containing the re-
turns as far as heard from. A cursory examination
impresses US with faint idea that Sanly has again
baen chosen to misrepresent this District
In Wayne, Lenoir, Green, Pitt, and Craven, Col.
Ruffin has done we'll, receiving large vote. and
making gain over Mr.. Lanes majorites, two years
ago, except IN Craven. The Democracy in these
counties, and in fact even in Beaufort too, have stood
up manfally. We feel especially gratified at the
suit in Wayne and more particularly with the highly
Aattering Col. Rufin received in his own pre-
cinct-(ioldsboro 1t speaks loudly of the high es-
timation in which he is held by his immediate neigh
bots. =,

''The turn out in Burke was unusually sma-ony
some 700 votes polled, yet Clngman's majority is
$50 thereabouts.

feeling in the County for assure you Col. Gather
received many votes from those opposed to him pol-
cay, but who voted for him from personal consider
a,ions altogether Besides, they We're satisfied it
would be no fight at all but with the personal pop
uarity which is freely conceded to the Colonel, is it
not strange that he has failed to carry his Coun

failed to get majority at any precinct in his
County!
We have just heard from three precincts in Nc
Dowell, at which Clingman's majority is upwards of
200 votes.
will not be surprised if Clingman's majority,
east of the mountains, should run up to 1900; and

this majority west of the Blue Ridge. "Glory

PURPLE STRAW WHEAT.

A very intelligent gentleman of Chatham County
who noticed recent statement of the large yield o
purple straw wheat on the farm of Mr.. Holloway OF
We take tie liberty of laying before our readers:
CHATHAM, August IL, 1851.
To the Editor of the Standard.
Sir: Eight years ago introduced the early pur-
pie wheat into this State from western Virginia,
so, from which, no doubt, that neighborhood has be-
come stocked and dare say Mr.. Holloway's wheat,
of which you speak in the last Standard, is of the
same origin. 1t is the most productive whea: know,
when well cultivated in good land. Mine became
infected with the rot in my absence, and my wheat
has been injuaed for two years by it. Hearing that
blue stone remedy for this disease in wheat, I
caused bushe and peck to be soaked for IL hours
in strong solution of blue stone, and sowed it on
one acre. 1t came in without head of smut, and
yielded me % bushels l considered it the best
the true test of good wheat is the quantity produced
to the acre. But what consider valuable and wor-
thy to be KNOWN is that blue stone proved remedy
for this Getestable disease in wheat. My other
purple straw, taken from the same box and managed
otherwise was injured by it that considered it a
failure. This single acre was the best wheat sown,
and therefore makes the experiment the reliable.
Yours truly, A. r.
We have frequently heard the blue-stone spoken of
as remedy for the smut and rot in wheat, and we
are glad to have it in power to state that this
remedy has been applied by our Correspondent, and
has proved successful.
The wheat crop of the present year is superior to
any for years past, both in the quantity produced and
in the quality of the article.
