SAMPLES uF DAMAGED WHEAT.-The rage,
just now, of sending specimen heads of sprout.
ca Wheat TO newspaper editors to frighten
them, and through them the public, with stories
of damaged crops and prospects of famine pri.
ces, does not seem to have the effect desired.
Sending head of damaged Wheat as a
sample of whole field, or Of q whole district,
is very much like carrying about brick as u
specimen of house. We presume there are
no Wheat fields in which some shrlveled, or
sprouted, or wurm-saten heads could not be
found. The farmers had better put a good face
upon the present prospect of the crops, and
make up their minds 10 lower prices. We have
no doubt there has been some damage done by
the rains, but not, we have reason to believe, to
any great extent, or sufficient to affect the price:
of grain cent bushel Whatever damage
may have been done to the Wheat by the rain
has been more than compensated by the benefit
which the other crops have received from the
same cause.-New York Times.

ABOLITION NEWSPAPERS IN THE SoUTH.-The
Fredericksburg Herald denounccs, with just
severity, The Saturday Evening Post, which has
u most extensive circulation in the Southern
States, on account of its literary pretensions,
and which has recently betrayed The confidence
reposed in it by bitter and unreening attacks
upon the rights and practices of the Souih:--
We concur with the Herald in the opinion that
the aboioniss have ndemnifed the Post for
any injury il might sustain at the South from
the appearance Of such articles in its columns.
Ii Southern patronage can be continued to that
paper after this demonstration, it will be offering
q premium by the South for The destruction Of
its own institutions. Why should Southern
men patronizc these mammoth literary Journals
in the North, whose tendency in abolition and
morals is often detestable, 10 the exclusion OF
their own excellent periodicals dispatch.

Our commercial reports for some time have
Indicated Il growing Importance in the wheat
and flour trade of this city, and We are encour.
aged 10 believe, from all available tokens, that
this branch will be steadily aud largely promoted
during the delivery Of the present crop The
ketch Commerce was cleared yesterday at our
Custom House for Rio de Janriro, direct, with
1906 bbls of flour. The first case, perhaps, Of
Il cargo Of flour exclusively being shipped hence
to foreign port. The -four was furnished in
about equal proportions by the Etowah and
Granite Mills, of Georgia, and the Knoxville
Steam Mills of Knoxville, Tenn, all of super
fine brand, and shipped by Messrs. Il. s. g. i.
G. Budd, whose enterprise in this new line, we
trust will meet u due reward.
We learn, also, that Messrs. Holmes & Sto.
ney have just chartered two first class schooners'
each capa BILE Of taking 10000 bushels of wheat,
which will take cargoes immediae y-one for
Alexandria, and the other for Richmond, Va.
Wheat from our city to Virginia may BIZ con-
sidered one of the novelties Of the day, which,
however, mny soon cease to be noticeable

We regret that it is our lot again to chronicle
the fearful ravares of the yellow fever in the
infected district of Virginia. Our cotempora-
ries of that region announce no abatement in
the havoc done by the fell destroyer: All those
who can are fleeing from The dreadful scoarse
and the cities of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Eos'
port, are now almost drpopulated. Inc lFo.
gress of the disease has become such that most
of the local physicians are either dead or pros
trated, and additional mid is solicited to admins
ter to The numerous sick. More than $4,000
have already been raised to assist them, but
physicians and nurses are in great demand: Dr.
Stone has left for Baltimore. His services at
Norfolk and Gosport were productive Of mucn
good.
AWFUL MuRDER.--We learn by Mr. Cravath
of Whitewater, the following particulars OF
most revolving and awful murder ut that place
This forenoon an old man, aged about 68 years,
named VIM. Birge, father to VIM. Birge, Jr.
proprietor of the FIGURING mills at Whitewater
cut the thront of his wife, and was then shot
down BY Young non of VIM. Birge, Jr. The
elder Birge, has long been addicted to intemper'
ate habits and the assault upon his wife was
made in one of his drunken sprees' his wlle
is represented to have been an .esllmaole wo'
man.
p.S.-A later report by telegraph says that
Mrs. Birge is slikely'to live, though there are nc
hopes of her husband. The boy, lad about
l6 or II years of age, shot in self-detence, hl'
grandfather making an assault upon him afte,

his head and lop bis ears, swinging head
towards tail and tail towards head, show
ing the whites Of bis eyes, and opening his
mouth as if things didn't feel right in his

SEEING THE ELEpHANT.-Passengers
who travel by the New York and New
Haven cars have grand chance of "see-
ing the elephant" Going from NewYork,
the cars pass the farm of 2. T. Barnum, a
mile or SO before reaching Bridgeport, CT
On that farm, and in plain view from the
railroad, an elephant may be seen every
pleasant day, attached to large pillow, and
doing up the "sub,soiling' in first rate
style, at the rate of about three distinct
double-horse teams. The animal is per-
fectly tractable. His attendant rides him,
while colored man guides the plow The
elephant is also used for carting large loads
of gravel in a cart arranged purposely for
him, and in drawing stone on stone boat
or drag, in piling up wood, timber, &c,
and in making himself generally useful
