in Which he says that the vessel seen

Ii appears by other official advices

ma captured six schooners, on the
fifth two, and ran one ashore, an on
The seventh one, making in all ten

Preparation for the Contest.

General Mcclellan has been placed
nj the head Of the "grand army" a,

his energies to get j. in condition
to meet the rebels, at no distant day.
The work OF reform which he has
inaugurated in all the departments
OF the army, and tho attention he
gives personally to all the arrange
ments, has inspired both citizens and
Soldiers with great confidence.
The defeat at Manassas has had
its good results. 1t has fully devcl.

more rigid discipline ami letter
training in the army, and greater
precaution in it's movements. 1t has
proved, that it is a vain idea to ex
pect that our @rmy can corqqer well
disciplined troops, strongly entrench-
ed, by coup de-n'ain, when the odds
are greatly against rs.

CR' Pa IN MINNESOTA The appre
hens ons OF short crop, entertained
earlier in the season. have nearly al
vanished. Daring the past three
weeks the weather has been mos,
favorable for the growth and ma.
turing Of the wheat crop. Insects
rust. and other pests Of the vhea,
field, if not altogether unknown,
have been merely exceptional in
their appearance and effects. rather
than general. And although the
straw Is mostly short and light, ye,
the heads are we'll developed, and
the kernel sounder and better, Il
possible, than last year.
The result OF our information,
derived from nearly all portions ol
the state, is that the average yield O,
Spring wheat this Autumn will De
qnite twenty bushels to the acre.
Last year the average In tho state
was not far either way from twenty.
five bushels to the acre. Taking
into account the increased breadth Of
land under cultivation tho presen,
year, which probably exceeds that ol
last year by one'third, we shall have
a considerably larger aggregate
yield Of wheat, and agreater surplus
Tor export than we have had In any
former season.-[ Winona Press.
