The Cincinnati Rep Commercial is
inclined to think the removal by Captain
Stokes, of the ammunition from the ST.
Louis Arsenal, not SO great an achievement
after all. After copying grand!oquent
account from Chicago paper of what
Capt. S. is, and what he ought to be, if
the Executive of thi, State understands

"Now for Heavens sake don't. That
Col. Stokes is a wonderful man. He con.

impossible stratagems. He saw clouds Of

The Topeka Record says: We have re-
ceived of H. L. Jones, Esq, of Salina, a
beautiful specimen of quartz rock, found by
exploring parties in that section. Mr.. Jones
says it is no exaggeration 10 say there ar
millions of cords of it few miles west of
Salina, between the Smoky Hill and Saline
rivers. Il is found in every stage of decom-
position, from Fthe hardest to the softest.
No efforts have been made to ascertain to
what extent it is valuable. But very few
persons-and those not being geologists, and
on other business, made no examinations
have seen it, The country is extremely
rough, with large masses of lava, and other
evidences o violent volcanic action, abound.

The wheat sowed in Kansas last fall is
doing finely. and looking quite as well as
usual at this season. The spring wheat
was mostly put in later than usual. on ac-
count of difficulty in getting seed. But it
is mostly up, and looking wen. A large
amount of garden seeds have been planted
already. and the work is still going on.
Want of seeds prevented much early plant
ing; but there will be profusion of late
vegetables of all kinds, should the season
continue favorable. Potatoes have been
scarce and high, and we fear that there will
not be nearly 80 many planted as there
should be; but there is yet time, which we
hope will be well improved. Potatoes can
now be bought at the river for from fifty to
sixty cents per busbel.
Corn planting has just fairly commenced,
and it is safe to say that more than the usual
area will be planted by our farmers. After
all, corn is the great staple of the West.
With good crop of corn the country is
never poor, let what else will fail; but if it
fails, all is lost. The war upon which this
Government is now entering. will, we think,
have the effect of materially increasing the
price of breadstuffs. At all events, there
will be a demand for all that can be raised
We therefore urge our farmers, one and all,
to plant every inch of ground possible, sc
as, if possible, to make the gains of this
year equal the losses of last. We need te
raise blooming" crop of everything thi;
season, to show our Eastern friends the ca
pacity of Kansas soil, and that drouths d.
not overwhelm US every year. PLANT ON
ACRE MORE, but above all, cultivate wei
what you plant, SO as to secure larg
yield per acre, which is what will be mos
looked at by those seeking for homes in tn
West.

Promise of Spring.

March has entered the arena with NIL the gen-
aity of Nay; and the promise is, that We shall
have an early Spring. Accordingly many farmers
are planting corn. We wish them much luck Il
may be well however to consider, that the full
moon occurs this raonth about the 2Glh. AT that
time more or less frost may be expected. Now, il
the corn (bcing plantsd is then just fully up, and
the frost should be ut all severe, may not the
young plant bs set back week Or two? Suppose
other corn To bo planted about the 2Olh, und to le
ready to como up Immediately after the probable
frost Of the full moon, which is likely to do best?
We incline to the latter idea. Yet many will take
the chances, on the correct ground, too, that Il
week gained in tho Spring often saves crop in the
Summer.
