TIE WHEAT CROP, in consequence OF the
scarcity of snow during the winter, the late
freezes, and the present drought, promises
rather poorly. A Warrick county farmer,
with whom we have been conversing, tells rs
that a number of cultivators in his neighbor-
hood are talking seriously of ploughing up
their wheat groand for the purpose of plant
ing corn. He says that there cannot possibly
be over half crop of this article the com
ing season. The growing wheat looks dry
and unhealthy, and must have rain soon
or it viii not amount TO much.
We are aware that these complsints of
farmers (our informant does not raise much
wheat) are generally heard with some
'grains of allowance but there is SO much
discouraging news in regard to the wheat
in Kentucky, Tennessee, Southern Indiana,
and Southern Illinois, that there must be
serious trouble s H
We can congratulate ourselves, however,
if the crop fails. in the fact that our farmers
can fall back on corn--the great standby
in this section Let everything fail but
that, and if it turns out well, and the hog
cholera does not prevail, still people can
live. Hog and hominy corn dodger
and--whiskyi i-all are products of the
sustaining maize. Truly corn Is the great
staple, that fills the stomach with nutri-
ment, and "The Pocket with wealth

WASHINGTON, March 29-The managers
of the principal Telegraph lines, in connec-
ton with the pony express, have agreed
upon the following prices for private dis
patches to and from California: For ten words
from any Atlantic city or any other Tele-
graph station, or Uice Uersd two dollars forty
five cents For similar number of words
from the first station on the California Tele-
graph line TO any part of California and
Vtce Oersa, two dollars; while the charge
for expressing the message without regard
to length, will be, two dollars forty-fve
cents each, making the sum total from any
station in the Atlantic States to any station
in California six dollars ninety cents for ten
words The charge for each additional
word above that number will be twenty
cents for the entire distance. The under
standing is that the Telegraph companies
will refund the entire tolls to parties for
warding messages which fail to reach Cali
fornia or gice gersa in advance of any other
route, and that they will also return to the
sender any moneys paid for dispatches filed
in season to oyertake the express at St. Jo-

to reach that place before the departure of
