From the Richmond Enquirer.

WngIT ASD WEvIL.--At this time, when the
united hosts of spulators have combined to rob
the honest farmer Of the just earnings of his labor,
it may not be generally known that wheat may be
threshed out, cleaned, put away i'll the barn and
given pretty thick covering of pine leaves, unore
commonly known as pine tags.l and it will re-
main IN this state for years, entirely exempt from
that great enemy weyil. OF course the wheat
should be bulked in dry state, aud after cover
lIom danger.
The above in 'ormation was obtained some yeats
since from Nj. Jas 3. Cooke. an experienced far
mer Of Prince George, county. Va, who, by
means of the pine tags as above, has been en-
abled to keep his crop Of wheat i'll complete
state Of preservation for years. This being also
the experience of SURRY FARMER.

From the Los Angeles Star we learn that Capt.
r. Sackeu arrived at that place on Wednesday,
after three months absence on prospecting tour
on the Gala. He brings with him some beautiful
specimens OF copper ore, upon which appear, IN
small quantities, pure virgin gold, and great
deal of gold fused with copper. The red sPecl-
mems are composed of The red oxide of copper,
which upon assay gives seventy five per cent Of
pure copper, and for every one hundred pounds
of ore one ounce and half OF pure gold. There
is also small ingredient Of silver, the exact pro-
portion Of which has not been ascertalned. Capt.
Sackett procured these specimens at point about
forty miles distant from the ella river, and about
eighty miles from Fort 'Y una, on the Colorado.
He left there week ago last Tuesday, coming in
by the way of Vallecita, Aqua Caliente, and Te
mecula. Previous to his departure they had en-
countered no hostile Indians, in fact they had
never seen all Indian while there. He LETT about
twenty men at the mine, who employed in
building houses, &C., preparatory TO commencing
work in earnest In the immediate vicinity of the
mines there Is but little grass and water-enough,
however, for domestic purposes. Their locality
is PROFESSIONALLY upon American soil, being at
least thirty miles inside the boundary fxedby our
late purchase Of the State Of Sonora, and in the
immediate vicinity OF that rich mineral country,
concerning which much has been said, but little
known. 1t is estimated by Capt Sackett, whose
knowledge of that country and its resources makes
his statements perfectly reliable, that copper can
be taken from these mines, smelted and delivered
in New York at an expense of ten cents per h.,
and this too with moderate investment OF capl.
tai.
