Visit to the Battle Field.

A letter from headquarters, Alessandria,
dated 10 o'clock of Saturday, May u, states
that on the morning of that day, the Empe-
ror took the railway to NCghera, and from
thence went on horseback 10 visit the field of
battle of Montabello. A great number Of
dead bodies were still lying about, and His
Majesty saw the scene of the combat almost
in the state in which it had been left by the
contending forces. Marshal Braguay dill
liers accompanied the Emperor.
General Forey was not able to 60 with him,
having II confusion on the left leg, from n
ball which had hattened on his scabbard.
The General was only able to present him
self to his Majesty, who embraced and CON
graduated him in the warmest terms on his
brilliant conduct. Col. Cambriels was also
embraced by the Emperor, and the rumor
goes that he is to be at once promoted.

The Effect of the Rihed Cannon.

Detailed information which has been re-,
ceiyed from the seat Of war relative 10 the
slight artillery action near Nalenza, in which
the riled 1 Founders were first brought INTO
action, has afforded great satisfaction TO mil
tary men, and has quoted many appreh"n-
sions, by demonstrating the practical utility
and immense superiority Of the new arm.-
The despatch is confirmed that the range
was over $500 metres (2734 yards, upwards
of a mile and . half. The accuracy of fire
was no less surprising than the range. and
the destructive effect was still more marvel
lous. Those who may have witnessed the
experiments at Nincenncs, when the solid
masonry Notifications were shattered by Il
few rounds, and yards of stone reyetment
were tumbled down, were scarcely prepared
for the results obtained at Nalenza against
earthworks. After five rounds, the ~tortitica-
tons of the Austrians were reduced to ruins.
1t is believed that these effects were due
mainly to the long range, and that mt short
distances the fire would have been far less
destructive, as the shot would have made Il
clean hole. To understand fully the advan.
tage of the ritled gun, it should be remem-
bcred that the Napoleon cannon-a light IL

Tho Wheat Campalen.

We find the following paragraph IN an eX-
change:
The COMING CRoP.-The New York tOu-
rier and Enquirer estimates that the coming
crop of wheat will not be less than two hun
dred million bushels, or fifty millions more
than the yield of last year. whilenn unusual
ly large breadth of land has been seeded to
corn, which at present is very forward, with
every prospect of 4 good crop"
This is only one of many similar ones.
which We have met with during the last
three months. But that is the case every
year. For six months before harvest, we are
always assured, that the growing crop eN-
ceeds any that was ever grown before. This
same cry was kept Us last year, long after
harvest, and when 1t was notorious. that
there wa barely Il suthciency in the Union,
if that, for domestic consumption.
Asto the growing crop, wheat is subject
to so many casualties, that no estimate, At ali
reliable, can he formed Of the yield ut this
time. In Virginia, the usual breadth of
land was not last fall-lnd from many
districts the reports are far from encourag-
ing. In the West, the harvest is yet far
distant, and there is ample time for even 4
worse blight than that of last year. But
whatever he the product, let il exceed all the
estimates that have been made, n European
War will create u demand for every grain Of

End of the Railroad War.

The New York papers have the official an
nouncement that the railroad quarrel is at
an end. The Post of Saturday says:
1.-The Erie Railroad Company was not
represented at the conference at the St.
Nicholas last night, hut upon the basis of
settlement being submitted to Mr.. Moran
this morning. he Immediately acquiesced,
and there only remains the preparation of an
advanced freight schedule by the New York
agents.
While the announcement will be received
with much satisfaction in some quarters, yet
"reminiscences of former "compacts" are not
such as to encourage sanguine hopes among
stockholders that the present agreement set
ties for the future all the disputes and differ
ences which, from the nature of internal de-
vclopment and change, are likely to occur"
