his first duty was to prove that the state.
ment, no matter by whom il was made,
WAS false. MIR. Champion never made
such n statement, he could not he injured
by these remarks; but If he did make it,
IT was for him to explain it. The letter had
gone forth to the country through the news
papers of the day; and until it was denied
or disavowed, he was bound to suppose
that it was a genuine document. but he
should DC very happy TO be assured of the
contrary,
subsequently Mr.. Fish, at the request
of Mr.. Clayton, stated tina. he had repeated
conversations during the present session
with Mr. Champion in relation to the sub
lect OF Central American affairs, and Mr..
q. had told him that Mr.. Clayton always
denied the British title to Ruatan. He
thought it doubtful whether the letter
which tho Senator from Delaware had read
was an authentic one.
Mr.. Cass remarked that Great Britain
had heretofore only claimed Ruatan and
the other Bay islands on the principle that
they bad been spontaneously settled by
British subjects; but it was the usual course
OF that government, when they were driven
from one point, to fall back upon another,
and another, and another; and this might
be one of their new discoveries.
As 10 the authority of the letter there
can be little doubt, for it is taken from the
Blue Book, which is an official record of
diplomatic documents

CesS Cons WORTHLESS rcR FEEp.-We
have been several times called 20 account
for stating that all inventions for grinding
cobs were valueless 10 the world, because
nothing was accomplished of any value bv
the grinding; because the cob OF the Indian
corn contained scarcely rs much nulriment
as the wood Of several species offorest trees.
In fact 1t would be decidedly beiterto grind
the stalks OF the corn. or stalks Of wheat.
oats, barley, or any of the common grasses.
In this opinion we are corroborated BY the
analysis of Dir. Charles T. Jackson, show
ing only l-2 per cent of nutri,ive matter,
consisting OF gum, starch and dextrine.
This shows that cobs are worth more for
fuel than FOR food o. animals.

THE GRowING CRoP.-We have adyices
from all parts of the Western States, in
c!uding Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Iii.

Wisconsin, from which we learn that, with
the exception OF Tennessee, where il has
been frozen out, the growing wheat looks
exceedingly promising and healthy. The
breadth OF land sown with wheat last fall
was greatly increased over former years:
and the indications now a,e that should
the present month prove favorable the
wheat crops of 1856 will be the largest by

The fate Of the wheat crop cannot be de
