BS The weather has been such as to delay
ploughing and the seeding of oats; but the
wheat is beginning to look green under the mild
air and the copious ra;ns and promises to do
well unless the joint worm prove too voracious
The grass will doubtless be good and the pas
lures early. Wesnotice too that the peach-trees
in the country are beginning to display their
purple bloorn. In short the time of the singing
of birds is come, and season of Astounding fruit
fulness, we trust and believe, is about dawning
on the farming interest. Of oats and corn a
large breadth will we hope, be put in cultiva-
ton, while many are preparing grounds
and inquiring into the mysteries of cultivatine

A WHALE IN THE CHEsAPEAKE.-On Friday
morning, when near Old Point, on the trip to
Norfolk, Capt. Pearson, of the steamer Georgia,
noticed something just ahead, which rose some
eight or ten feet above the surface of the water.
He supposed it was the hull of a wrecked ves-
sci which had been thrown up by the violence
of the sea, and to avoid a collision changed the
course of his vessel. In few minutes it arose
again not more than thirty or forty yards dis
tant from the steamer, when Capt. P. and seve-
raj of the passengers discovered that it was a
whale. While on the surface it spouted two
streams Of water to the height Of thirty or forty
feet. The appearance of whale in the Chesa-
peake is Of rare occurrence. j.

FROM WAsHINGToN.-W Washington, March
2l.-An official telegraphc despatch was sent
to New York this morning to go out by the
= California steamer, announcing that there will
be no extra session called to make provision for
the Post-ofice Department. There is conse-
4uently, much speculation as to how the service
will be maintained.
In quarters, usually the best informed on such
subjects, it is said that the law authorizing con-
tracts will continue to be carried out, embracing
the issuing of treasury warrants as usual. But
as there is no money to pay them, they will in
the hands of contractors seem as the basis of
loans. 1t is not known that any other evidences
or certificates of Indebtedness will be issued.

ToBAcco.-There has been more activity in the
Tobacco market this week, and some sales have
been effected both in Maryland and Kentucky To-
bacco. The transactions in Maryland comprise
both new and old crop; the new Tobacco selling at
rates slightly below last years quotations. In Ohio
we still without sales to report. Kentucky has
been in active request, but the sales chiefly of
of old crop, and the better qualities of this being
now pretty well sold out, purchasers will no doubt,
during the coming week operate more largely with
the new Tobacco, which seems to be arriving pref
ty freely. In the present rather unsettled state of
the market, we prefer to omit quotations altogether.
The inspections for the week comprise COS hhds.
Maryland, 344 hhds. Ohio, and lis hhds Kentucky
