BLASTED WHEAT FROM MIcHIGAN.-We saw
yesterday at the Board of Trade, specimens of
white and red wheat brought from Southern
Michigan by. Geo. A. Fitch, Esq. The heads
were taken from fields near Kalamazoo. They
were about filed out at the time of the frost,
and would have made splendid wheat had it not
been ruined by the frost. Mr.. Fitch states that
throughout the greater part Of the Southern half
of Michigan, the wheat has suffered in this way.
Not all the heads are blasted, but perhaps one
third, or in some Gases one haf-Chicago Dem.

derstand, from very good authority, that the
"gray-eyed man of destiny" has organized n
new pratical tilibustering expedition to invade
Nicaragua, and that the "emigrants" will sail
from this port on Tuesday or Wednesday of
this week. Active recruiting has been going on
for some time, and very respectable force as
to numbers has been engaged. Walker is still
sanguine of final success, and laughs at the
pretended opposition OF the United States Gov
ernment.-l n. Y. Tribune, 10th.
