THE FLY-A Meeting Of Farmers Sugges
ed.--In view of the ravages upon the wheat
crop, of late years, by the "fy," it is impor-
tant that measures be taken, if possible, TO de-
v.se some remedy to mitigate or avoid the de-
structions of this terrible insect. We like the
proposition of our correspondent, ct. B. C."
in another column. 1t is, that general meet
ing of the farmers be held in Dover, on the
first Tuesday in August, where they can "com-
pare notes J" respecting the time of seeding,
kind Of fertilizers used, &c. 1t is evident that
there is something in this, as in some cases
where fields of wheat adjoin each other, with
scarcely any difference 10 the soil, the one may
be nearly destroyed while the other sustainf
little or no injury. A conference of the farm.
ers on this subject, may lead to important re-
suits, and we hope the proposition will meet
with general favor. Our correspondent requests
that the press in the county agitate the subject
so that, if thought practical, large meeting
may be had on the day above indicated.

W A dispatch from Leavenworth tells us
that the board of Kansas commissioners, provi-
ded for by the English act of Congress, met and
organized at Lecompton, on the oath of May,
by electing Governor Denver President. They
were all sworn into office; appointed COM
mittee of three to propose the programme for
conducting the election provided for by the
law, which is to be reported at the next meet
ing, on the 3lst inst, and unanimously agreed
that the election should take place on the firsl
Monday of August. Rumors were in circula.
tion of baple having been fought, on the
southern border, between free state force, un.
der Montgomery, and party of Missourians, in
which twenty-one were killed and eleven
wounded.

TALL OATs.-We received, per Delaware
Railroad, on Friday last, a small bundle of oats
measuring 3 feet and 3 inches in height, grown
this season on the farm of John Reynolds, Esq,
near FELTON,, Kent county, Del. The field from
which this specimen was taken, contains about
80 acres, and must certainly, taking the parcel
sent us for fair specimen, be one of the finest
at-lots on the Peninsula.

CHANGED HAN3s.--Dr. Sradley has disposed
of his interest in the Wilmington Common
Uealth, to Joseph NJ. Barr, who is well known
in this section of country not only as forcible
public speaker, but from his residence for time
among us. Mr.. Barr, some years since, edited
the Journal, at which time it had name and
commanding influence. He no doubt will con,
duet the Commonwealth with the same tact and
vIgor. DR.. Stradley says, in regard to his de-
parture from the corps editorial :" it is better to
be eaten to death with rust than to be secured
to death with perpetual notion" and sums up
his reasons for selling out as follows:
"In the first place, have received full and
satisfactory compensation for the whole estab-
llShment, secondly, am naturally indOent and
fond OF my ease; thirdly and lastly, have some
thing else in view by which hope to live easier

California.

BY the arrival at New York, on Saturday. OF
the steamship Moses Tay lor, from Aspinwall,
with 81 ,576, 900 in gold, seven hundred passen-
gers, and the California mails, we have news
from the Pacific two weeks later than previous
advIccs. The California legislature had adj
journed after enacting a law prohibiting the
immigration into that State of Chinese. The
newly discovered gold dggings in the valley Of
Walker river, adjournng Carson valley, cast
of the Sierra Nevada, had turned out quite rich,
and produced a great excitement in that Sec
tiOn, and Il rush thither. But the greatest ex-
citcment was caused by the confirmation Cfthe
news from Frazer liver, in British Oregon,
whittier all eyes were turned. The diggicgs
are said to extend into Washington territory
A band Of robbers stopped the stage running
from Nevada TO Sacramento, aud robbed it OF
$2l 900 in gold dust belonging to Wells Fargo
d. Co. The opposition in Sacramento city had
made union on Peoples ticket, and after
clear and explicit fight for and against Lecomp.
tod, the Buchananites were beaten, and The
Peoples ticket elected by three thousand ma
jorty. Col. Fremont had arrived in Mariposa,
and been welcomed with bonfres and salutes of
artillery. 1t was announced that the Indians
ofPlumas county had banded together to make
war on the whites. Indian troubles had also
broken out in Oregon. Another great fiilibus-
terng expedition against Sonora was reported
to be afoot, and such was the excitement in
that region about it that Surveyor belonging
to the Sonora Surveying company had to leave
A guano island, containing nearly a million
tons of guanO, has been discovered on the track
between the Sandwich and Ladrone Islands,
and specimens ofthe guano have been received
at San Francisco. Robberies and murders are
frequent all over California, and we find many
such recorded in our files of papers. In some
cases the robbers go in armed bands, and COM
NIT their depradatons in the Mexican style.-
Advices received in California from Salt Lake
confirm all the news of the reported peace ne
go,iations, and add some interesting particu-
lars. 1t seems that Brigham Young had in
structcd his people all to retire to the southern
and not to fight the government troops,
aud that it was in obedience to this behest that
the immigration took place.
