By tho arrival Of tho Golden Gate at San
Francisco we have dates from the Atlantic States
to Sept 9th.
The successful laying of the Telegraphic Cable
still absorbed the entire of public attention.
The nominal date at which General IIarney is
to leave New York for Oregon is the 9th Of 0c-
tober, but it is now said that tho President is
anxious for his departure SO early as tho 9th Of
September, and certainly by the goth.
Advices from Leavenworth to the 81st August
say that the Salt Lake mail, with dates to the 7th
ultimO, has arrived. The election on the I'd
passed off quietly. The gentiles had an opposi-
ton ticket; but Mr.. Osborne, Of Green River
county, is the only one upon it elected to the Le-
gislature. In Salt Lake county their ticket re-
ceivcd only SO votes. The late appointment by
Gov. Cumming Of Probate Judges in Carson and
Green River counties caused some dissatisfaction
among the Mormons, but all was quiet at the de-
parture Of the mail Thirty soldiers had desert
cd from Gen. JohnstOn's command. Capt Tracy
was on trial at Cedar Valley for insubOrdinate
conduct to Col Alexander. Col. Hoffman had

The road from Devils Gate to Fort Bridger was
strewn with cattle. Nine hundred head Of cattle
were mot at Big Sandy, Of which nine died on
that day. Col Williams command was met at
Scott's Bluff The 7th Infantry, consisting of
1000 men under Col. Morrison, were ct Platte
Bridge. The returning volunteers, under Col
Bee, were passed at Fort Laramie. But few In
dams were seen.
The Philadelphia Press, speaking Of ex Presi-
dent Pierce's tour in Europe, says:
All along the route, from Lisbon to Marseilles
he has been the recipient Of distinguished con-
sideratiOn from public officers and private citi-
zens. At Gbralter the senior officer in CON-
mand Of the British Daval forces at that point,
extended marked courtcsies, and urged the ex-
President and Mrs Pierce to take passage for
Tangiers in one Of her Majesty's public armed
vessels. At Marscilles tho French Authorities,
headed by the Perfect and the military COM
mander, were especially attentive and Jealous in
acts Of hospitality.

WHEAT SOWING

We hear mauy complaints Of the total
or partial failure OF the wheat crop. IN va.
Tious sections Of the country. In some
places Il has been winter killed, in Others
Smitten by rust, aud in many Others cut
ofby the Insects. The truth probably is,
that, eA epting destruction by insects,
there Is about the same am ,unt OF injury
received from there sources as occurs ev.
cry year The business Of collecting in.
formation from the wheat growing dis.
triots Is nov so systematEsd, that We hear
much more Of lae failures. than We we're
accustomed To, ten years ago Whole col.

ty counties of she union makes a great i'm
preston. Wheat has never been so GER
tain \ crop rs Indian corn. IL is a more
capliOus p ant Ia its wants. and must have
more careful attention. II demands a
porous soil, rich in vegetable matter, such
as Is found Ia the newly cleared lands of
Ihe West. In old lands the mechanical
preparation Of She soil is = matter Of prime
Importance! The more nearly you can
make Il like the virgin s,dl Ihe bettar! if
IL be not already dry Il should be made
80, The soil should be deeply stirred
with subsoil pillow 70 let the rains pass
down quickly, ah,l 10 give aif to the roots
Of the plants. More wheat 10 winter kill
ed by slagnant water freezing around the
plants, Ihan by any other cause. The
deep st,rriag Of she soil Is also help in
Summer, guarding the crop against
droulh. IL the land Is not anderdrained
Il should be plowed in narrow lands, with
deep dead lurmws to give the water q
chance lo pass off into them.
Soc Edriy - The experience Of Wheal
grOwrr, Is very uniformly IN favor Of ear,
ly sowirg, The sooner Il is put in after

roots have time to get strong hold of the
soil and are not easily thrown out by the
frost.
