AS the time for sowing wheat is fas
approaching, will give to the whev
growing portion of your readers my ex
perience in both wheat culture and grind
ing. In these modern times there are
great many kinds introduced and recon
mcnded to the farmer, to experiment up
on, and each kind is purported to be tn
best. The wheat introduced by Mr.. Pig
man, of Sweetland Centre, Muscatin
county, is very nice, white coloret
grain. The yield is from twenty five to
forty bushels per acre; but farmers may
have an objection to it on account of tn,
boards and long straw, (if growing or
rich soiD which is very tender, and sub

wind. This wheat has soft, white, thin
bran, and, compared with other spring
wheat, but small quantity. The yield
of -four from it is from 3S to AZ lbs. pcr
bushel. According to my own obserya-
tions, millers could afford to pay few
cents per bushel more for this than other
mixed lots. Merchants cannot do this,
as they must necessarily bulk it with all
kinds of wheat for shipment; the reason
is, it will not grind to advantage with
other wheat, it being much softer.
would recommend the smooth headed
Canada Club wheat, if it is properly cul-
tivated. 1t is less liable to smut than
many other kinds of spring wheat; the
yield 10 -four is from 36 to 43 lbs. per
bushel, when well cleaned and clear of
oats, which are great injury to the
yield of -four From careful observation
[ find it will loose from 3 to 5 lbs. of
-four per bushel if only few oats are
mixed with the wheat. This il one thing
that farmers should pay more attention
to, aud have the seed wheat sepcrate
from the oats when sown All kinds of
grain will "run out" or become inferior
in quality if sown on the same kind of
land number of years. Farmers could
remedy this by changing the seed from
timber soil to prairie soil l would also
advise this in respect to corn 1t is not
only the different soil, but a different at
mosphere, and different herbage it grows
with. If the soil is not well cultivated,
| would recommend fall ploving, and
plow deep, once in three years at least;
by so doing you will get new soil, and
your old fields will appear new. will

Terrible Disaster af Sea.

On last Christmas day, the ship New
England sailed from New York, bound
for Glasgow The crew, inclusive Of of
fcers, comprised eighteen men 4 short
time after the pilot left, terrible storm
came on, and caused the sea to sweep over
and partially fill the vessel The men
were ordered to the pumps, and in the
midst of hail and rain, they, day after
day, stood up to their waists in water,
almost perished with cold Notwithstand-
ing the continuous efforts of the men,
the water gained ground, and the vessel
began to sink. The captain, seeing the
state of affairs to be increasingly perilous,
directed certain portions of the cargo to
be thrown overheard, with view of
keeping the vessel afoat little longer
During the lighting Of the shio by some
circumstance or other, large quantity
of naptha ignited, causing a fearful ex-
plosion, and ran in liquid flames all over
the deck, making dreadful havoc among
the seamen. One person was standing
on part of the vessel under which the
naptha was slowed, and when the explo-
sion occurred, he was completely envelop-
ed in flames; five others, including the
first officer, were dreadfully burnt, and in
addition to the burning, one boy had his
thigh broken. The men who escaped more
serious injuries, had their faces scorched
and blackened. When matters were fast
approachinga fatal crisis, the bark Cora
Linn, Capt. j. Goudy, came sufficiently
near to rescue the whole of the men from
the burning vessel Those who were the
most seriously burnt, however, died in a
short time after being placed on board
the Cora Linn; the others all arrived at
Liverpool on Sunday, and were immedi-
ately taken to the hospital

Death Of Judge Kane.

John h. Kane, Judge of the District
Court of the United States for the Eas-
tern District Of Pennsylvania, died at
his residence aear Philadelphia on Sun
day evening Of inflammation On the lungs.
Judge Kane was Of Irish descent, his
grandfather, John Kane, having emigra-
ted from that country. He was bred to
the law, and was for many years men,
Der of the Philadelphia bar. lie was
known as ''land lawyer" branch of
the profession which may be very lucra-
tive, but requires little forensic talent.
He never was called eloquent or profound
but he-made money. In l845 he was
appointed by President Polk to the posi-
tion he held at his death. Judge Kane
had greatncs (in small way thrust up
on him. What little note be had is due
to two causcs-one, that he was the faith
er of DR.. Elisha Kent Kane; and the
other, that he was the Judge of Pass
more Williamson. The latter had COM
menced a suit against him for false i'm
prisonment, which, of course, is termn-
ated by his death

THE GREAT PRINTING SUINDLE.

We are glad 10 see the announcement made BY
Mr.. Cameron in the Senate on Wednesday, from
the Committee Oh Printing, that " no more pic
"ture books are TO be allowed" We exposed
ope Of the picture book transactions the other

the Pacific Railroad, which was composed almost
entirely OF pictures Of extravagant cost and
useless character. We refer TO the subject again
TO show some Of the expenses in detail OF getting
UP this work, an account Of which we have pro-
cured from official sources. 1t exhibits shameful
abuse of authority lodged in the War Department
bv Conpress. to prosecute surveys with view to
discover the most practicable railroad route across
the continent. The last Administration was
guilty of fraud on the Treasury in mourning these
wholly unauthorized expenses. We beg public at

SPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE N. ]. TRIBUNE.
From a SpeciGI Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Saturday, April TO- 1853.
COL Bentons spirit took its flight gently and
TRANQUILITY this morning at about thirty minutes past
seven o'clock He was conscious and calm. He
was &c years and q days old when he died.
SECOND DISPATCH.
The supposed time of Mr.. Benton's death was
735, though he glided off SO gently that it may
have been few minutes earlier. Last evening,
when Mr.. Appleton called, he was too exhausted
10 converse, and merely signiGed tomorrow"
At times through the night he was seized with
spasmodic pains of great violence, otherwise no
rested gently. His last connected words were
about this morning, when Jacob, his son'in-law,
who was sitting up, asked how he felt, to which
he family whispered, " Comfortable and content"
About 4 O'Clock this morning, Jones, another
son in law, relieved Jacob, and in an hour after
ward bis children and family were at the bedside TIL
the final summons. few minutes before his
death the nurse applied ice to his lips, which were
consciously moved for the acceptable refreshment.
The funeral service will be performed on Mon
day, probably, when the body will be conveyed to
st. Louis for nterment, with his mother, wife and
kindred.
His sustenance for three weeks past was hardly
sufficient for infant, and it may be that his life
was prolonged by the effort of the will only. His
constitution was sound N every respect, and the
disease which precpitated his death was strictly
LEGAL being cancer of the rectum.
WASHINGTON, April H. 1853.
Col. Benton's funeral services will be performed
tomorrow at o'clock. The pall-bearers are
Messrs. j. B. Floyd Sam Houston, Gen. Jessup,
William II. Appleton, John c. Rives, James b.
CLAY, w. W. Seaton, and Jacob Hall Of Missouri.
The body will be Immediately conveyed to st.
Louis, accompanied by his sons-in-law, Messrs.
\ Jacob and Jones. The youngest grandchild, son
of Mr.. Jones, died early this morning. Thus age
ard childhood go the long journey together.
Congress will probably adjourn out of respect for
| the occasion.
Mr.. Buchanan called last evening to pay visit of
coincidence TO the family having had brief aud
gratifying interview with Col Benton on Friday
afternoon, in which the latter assured the President
that be died at peace with all the world.
| Col. BentOn's will was opened yesterday TO as
certain if any wishes had been expressed by him
regarding his funeral. None were found. 1t was
drawn in September, just before the surgical oper-
alton, which involved the hazard Of death, was
performed His residence here is bequeat ed to
Mrs Jones, and his library TO Cary JOKES, as liter
| sry lecatee The residue Of the estate is dstnb-
| uted among their children. The executors are
| Messrs. William Carey Jones, John @. Fremont,
and Richard Taylor Jacob, sons-in law, NJ mt

padia. In one respect, however, The Post departs
from its authority. 1t gives the name of Mrs
Fremont as Jessie Benton; whereas the Cyclopadia
gives it as Ann Benton. AS we happen to know,
the paragraph in the article of the Cycopadia re-
latiDg to Col. BentOn's family was written by him,
ard was set up from bis own manuscript, which is
still preserved, and in which the name in question
stands plainly Ann, and not Jessie. OF course
then, our contemporary is mistaken in its attempted
correction. Jessie is probably nickname merely,

ANTlLECOMPTON sPIRlTCALISM.

At n small social gathering in this city on Wednes-
day evening Of this week, proposition was made to
persons of high respectabity present, who

small party were two distinguished Southern lecomp'
tcnites Shareholders one OF whom has recently oecu-
pied very large share of public attention. A circle
wa formed and the application of hands to the table
very soon produced spirit. Upon inquiry il was sn.
nounced through the medium, that this visitor from
the spirit land was other than Colonel Richard NJ

gentlemen alluded IN the following brei and lucid
announcement:

The LecOmptOnite thus addressed though preludced

him to be no humbug about the manifestation, and
that il made deep impression upon his mind.

We observe that The Boston Courier is obliged
to defend it,ef to it, patrons this is understood to
be the relation the readers of that paper bear to ito
proprietary for publishing abstract OF Theodore
Parker's sermon on the revivals. The Cour'T
apologies and fully declares itself against any belief
in Dir. Parker or his hereses We presume the
apology will be accepted. We trust The Courier
will be little more careful for the future. Still,
we think it's readers should understand that the
funinations of that journal against free speaking
ase meant wholly for other journals, and that its
batteries should not be turned against itself. If a
snug little parish ofreaders like The COurisrs, COM
posed wholly of few ultra-respectables, cannot
get along in harmony, we shall despair Of ever see

useless practice Of furnishing costly illustrations OF

In the Mechanical Reports, illustrations are sbso-
utely necessary; but in the Agricultural Depart
ment they cost a good deal more than they are
worth. We are glad to know that this extravs-
gance is likely 10 be reformed 10 the future. by

The Mexican Legation have information of an at
tempt making in Southern States tn aid Comontort
who row has Iii. headq at New Orleans to re-
establish himself az ruler of the Republic of Mexico,
against the present dynasty, which Is understood to
be entirely under the control of the Church. Comon-
forts supporters in this fllibustering scheme are
understood to be the principal persons who are en-
gagged in acquiring Mexican territory some OF whom
hold high positions in the Government. The Mexican
Minister hss had several interviews with the Presi-
dent of the United States who is understood to be
cretly in league with the flbusers. Comoniort has
secured the cooperation of Gen. Walker who is IN the
South concentrating his forces.
There il no doubt from information received here,
that Comonfort has agreed, if reinstated to give to
Walker who is the recognized leader Of the Slavery

outrage about to be perperated upon the Deghborng
