TIE GROWING Wheat CRoP.--We have wait
cd TO obtain from all sections of the State, reli-
able intelligence, before we considered it safe to
declare that the growing wheat was al good as
was hoped, and as an excited Imagination, under
present prices leads us to demand. Our advi-
ces from the Northern. the Southern, the West
ern, the Central and the Lake Shore sections Of
the State, are uniform, that the winter wheat
has come up vigorous and stout--very few fields
are winter killed. In Waukesha county the
wheat promises better than in ten years past
The recent rains have given the plant that rich
livery Of green which so delights the farmers
eye, e,nO
The spring wheat is being sown, and some
fields are already green. We estimate that in
this State, at least double the number OF acres
will be sown in wheat beyond what was sown
last year. Some estimate it az high as treble.
inasmuch as labor is cheaper than it was last
Spring, and this enables the farmer to increase
his crop without much additional expense.
1t is too early to say that the crop is sure To-
be good, for the droughts of summer are yet to
come--but the prospects are such as gladden. the
heart, while they should produce fervent graft

EXCITEMENT IN THE SOUTHwEsT.-DiScorery
of Gold ON The Arkansas Rirer.-The newspa-
pers in the southwest Of this State, Missouri,
report that large gold mine has been discover
ed on the head waters of the Arkansas River,
about 500 miles west of Springfield, Mo. The
mine is said to be as rich as any gold mine Of
California, and hundreds Of dollars have been ia
ken out in one week.
The statement is confirmed, also, by accounts
received from Indians and hunters, who have
examined the locality. The region is miner
al one, and has long been supposed to contain
gold.
The gold fever is prevailing to great extent
in the southwestern counties Of this State, and
people are preparing to forsaSe agricultural and
all other pursuits, and turn their attention en-
tirely to gold digging At Springfield the cpl.
demic has attacked every young man in tho
town, as the Advertiser asserts, and company
has been formed to march as soon as possible
to the new found Ell Dorado.
