bune.

Fears have been expressed regarding
the killing of the winter wheat by its ex-
posure to frequent fros's and thaws, il
not being covered with its usual warm
mantle Of cold snow. We would advise
our farmers to 60 over their wheat fields
with rollers in the spring. SO as to pres'
down all the roots Of the grain which may
be thrown out Of the soil. This practice
is pursued regularly in England. where
the winter season is similar to our pres
ent one, Our famers should also take
measures for sowing spring wheat in sit'
uations where the winter kind may b
killed, - Gin. Gas, ar -'sTt

WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. IA


The majority of the Senate Committee
on Territories are preparing their report
and bill for the admission of Kansas into
the Union under the Lecompton Consttu-
tion. They are acting without reference
to the question whether the Free State or
Pro Slavery party has the Legislature
and State officers. In Difference to Mr..
Douglas, the Chairman Of the Committee,
who has serious illness in his family, the
report will not probably be made before
Thursday. in order to give him time to
prepare his dissenting views. Eessrs.
Wade and Collamer will probably unite
in a third report. gg ~ N.ar
It is clearly understood that in the
event Of persistent attempt to first pass
the Minnesota Bill, a proposition will be
made to unite it with the Kansas meas.
urc, that the success OF one may depend
upon the passage Of the other Such is
the present programme.

FEuD BETWEEN BUCHANAN AND Doua-
LAs.--There is intense personal bitter
ness between Douglas and Buchanan on
all points. The President denounces the
senator as little de,nagogue who is
afraid Of tie consequences Of his own
measures. He expresses the greatest
contempt for the 6lunder Of Douglass
anti.Lecompton movement, AMI does not
disguise his purpose o aid in the election
Of Republican Senator if necessary, to
defeat Douglas, should he continue to
oppose Lecompton; and if he now turns
again, the President says that he might
be tolerated in the party; but he would be
despised. On his part, Douglas every
where asserts, that Buchanan and the
Administration are dead. Some Of the
Douglas office-holders Of Illinois would
have been dismissed before this, but the
House delegation entreated ihe President
to spare them, because they would, in
case Of general row, lose their seats as
well as Douglas his.-[Cor. Chicago Til

Ohio Legislature,

Nothing has transpired in this body
during the past week which, in cur judg-
ment, is Of much Importance 10 our read
ers. The only difference betweenthe pres.
ent legislature and the last one is this, the
one spent the whole session in legislating
for the slaves Of Kentucky, while the 9th.
er is consuming the time in legisla'ing fol
the slave holders of Kentucky. The
members ofthe pre- sent Legislature seem
to be intent upon repeating every act pas
sed by their predecessors. es5 sgso7sg
Whenever the Honorable gentlemen
make up their minds to attend to the bus
mess of the people who sent them to Co.
lumbus, we will endeavor TO post our rea-
ders IL regard TO their doings. As il is,
their proceedings might possibly be inter-
esting to the people Of Kentucky, but
they are Ct no earthly interest to a citizen
of Ohio-unless it is one of that class o.
men who always take more interest in the
business Of their neighbors than they dc
iu their own. ,.r,.4..v5-iss lss.

The conduct Of the Speaker in this
case, we think, is without d precedent,
and il is said that the most intense feeling
Of dissatisfaction was manifested in the
House on the announcement Of the Com
mittce. The anti Lecompton members
Of the Committee at first refused to serve,
but have since concluded to wait until
the intentions Of the majority oflhe Com
