Our MINISTER TO SPAIN-'rhe Madison
(Wis.) Democrat, the leading organ of the
party in that State, speaks of the new appoint
ment of Minister to Spain as follows, which,
considering it comes from party friend, is
decidedly rich:
''Tho news of the appointment of Brigaaier
General Augustus Caesar julius Hannibal
Dodge, of Iowa, to the post of Minister to
Spain is confirmed. No more appropriate
appoint ment could be made. Mr.. Dodge is
an accomplished Spanish, Arabic, Greek and
Hebrew scholar; his talents for diplomacy are
second only to those Of Talleyrand; he is an
orator of unsurpassed ability; has the ele-
gance Of manner, tho persuasive power and
the clear and complete knowledge on all sub
iects to make him an honorable representa-
tive Of this great nation abroad-ove the
left. 1t is also the repetition Of a fattering
compliment to the North West, and "a no less
striking instance than tho appointment of
Hon. Philo White, of Racine, to an impor-
tant post among the highest peaks of the An
des, that talent isapprecated by Frank Pierce.
We shall have reason to expect the speedy an
nexation Of Cuba, Porto Rico, st. Thomas,
Valencia, La Mancha, Sancho Panza, Espar-
tero, Queen Isabella, Don Carlos, 'and tho
balance.,o

THE WHEAT CRoP-THE COMING SEASON.
A recent trip over the central portion of Hi
nois has satisfied US that, however short the
crops might have been last year, it has not
deferred the farmers Of the State from seiz-
ing every portion OF favorable time during
the fall for sowing their Wheat, and the re-
suit shows that there is, at least twenty per
cent more acres now in wheat than in any
previous year. The winter has been exceed
ingly favorable, and if We should be blessed
with our ordinary spring, Illinois will have
an amount Of wealth in that single crop which
it would be difficult to estimate.-[ Alton

the N. Y. Tribune says:
He (Yulee) was originally named David

congress as delegate from the then terrific.
ry OF Florida. On the organization of ;h,

soon after which lie changed his maine to
Yulee. We believe he is native Of the
West Indies, partly of Hebrew origin; and
show was once made of contestng his seat
on the assumption that he had negro blood
in his veins but this ended in smoke. Po
