The SEASON AT THE WEsr.-The Cincinnati
Gazette of Saturday, says:

" Every thing now, as far as can be known,
looks promising. The weather for two weeks
has been quite favorable for the growing
wheat, and from every section we hear re-
ports that the crop has greatly improved in
appearance. In most cases where it was
supposed the plants had been winter killed,
they have revived, and are looking well. Field
work has also been vigorously prosecuted
within the past week, the ground being in
good order for ploughing and with con-
tlnuation of the favorable weather that now
prevails, farmers will be able to accomplish
much more than the average amount of spring
work, within the ensuing three or four weeks.
1t is reasonable to conclude, therefore, that
very large breadth of ground will be planted
with oats, barley, potatoes. corn etc: Thus
one important step toward securing full crops
will probably be gained, and with favorable
weather thereafter, the most abundant har
vest that has ever been secured in the West,
may be looked forward to-"

DEATH OF NIKE WAL.H--Mike Walsh,

DEATH OF NIKE WAL.H.--Nlike Walsh,
well known for many years as an active pol
itician in New York city, was found dead on
the morning Of the 18th. His body was
lying doubled up at the bottom of steep
flight of basement steps, twelve in number,
of house in the 7th avenue. A valuable
watch and chain, and a diamond ring which
he was known to have had on the evening
before, were missing, which led to suspi-
cion that he was murdered. An examina-
ton Of the body revealed no other signs of
violence than might naturally have been
caused by fall down tho steps, and conse-
quent congestion Of the brain. The exam
lining physicians judged that his death was
caused by apoplexy. The probable inference
was that the watch and ring were taken by
some person who discovered the body. He
was parted with by acquaintances about
O'Clock in the morning, who testified that
he was considerably inebriated when they
separated. He was going from Broadway
towards his residence in West 2lst street.

The contest is quite animated. Mr. Letcher,

issue enters largely into the contest even in
Virginia, Mr. Letcher in ls47 having ex-
pressed the opinion that "slavery was social
