RAILWAY EXoURsIoN.--The Hoyt
Light Guards of this city, OF rather the
commissioned and commissioned Off
GERS thereof, who for the present are all
that have been ordered into camp, will
take their departure next Thursday by
the Flint g. Pere Marquette R.R. from
here for Fort Wayne. AS there are some
obligations for which the company is
still holden in this city, it is proposed
to give a pleasure excursion on the cars
as far as Pine Run and back, to those
who choose to accompany the Guard, at
the low rate Of fifty cents per passenger,
with the hope Of raising sufficient funds
10 liquidate these obligations. The OBJ
iect is certainly worthy, the officers,
and especially Capt. TRowDnIDdE, have
made great sacrifices to keep up the or
ganization thus far at their own expense
entirely, and we hope our citizens will
respond with their usual liberality to the
CALL The trip alone, setting aside the
satisfaction experienced in doing liberal
act, is worth twice the price charged. -

CHARLESTON, May ~.
Ny DEAR GESERAL:--I sincerely re-
greet leaving Charleston, where the in
habitants have given me such welcome
that now consider it as my second
home.s had hoped that when relieved
from here it would have been to GO to
Virginia, in command of the gallant Car
olinians, whose courage, patience aud
zeal l had learned to appreciate and adj
mire. But it seems my services are re.
quircd elsewhere, and thither shall go,
not with joy, but with the firm dvtermin-
alton to do more than my duty, il can,
and to leave as strong a mark as possible
on the enemies Of our beloved country,
should they pollute its soil with their das
tardly feet. But rest assured, my dear
sir, that whatever happens at first, wo
are certain to triumph at last, II We had
for arms only pitchforks- and .Aint-lock
muskets, for every bush and hay stack
will become an ambush, and every barn
fortress. The history OF nations proves
that gallant and free people, fighting
for their independence and firesides, arc
invincible against even disciplined iner-
cenaries, at few dollaas per month";
Wat then must be the result, when it's
enemies are little more than an armed
rabble, gathered together hastily on a
false pretence, and for an unholy pur-'
pose with an octogenarian at its head?--'
None but the demented can doubt the
issue. I remain, dear General. yours
sincerely. p. G.. r. BEAuREGARD.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

SowISo SEED WHEAr.-We urge upon the attention
of readers Of The TRIBUNE who ever grew wheat, or
ever expect grow it, the importance OF selecting seed
at or before harvest For q small quantity Of seed
there would be no difficulty, and but little labor,
compared to the value it would produce, to go
through the wheat6eld selecting the choicest heads,
iust as some good farmers do ears Of Indian corn
That is the best way. The next best is to select
the very best portions Of the field, and cut them
especially for seed Many years ago, when wheat
growing was more common in the Eastern States than
it is now, farmer became noted in his neighborbood
for his superior variety of wheat which he called bar
rel wheat" and sold at high price TO his neghbors
for seed before they discovered that it was identical
with their own; the only difference was in the manner
of saving the seed by which got its namc And this
was IL: He selected the best sheaves from the field,
and took them to his barn, and placed barrel It's
side upon the thrssbng oor and took each shea
rately and beat and whipped 1t over the barrel, by
which the longest and best heads only were sbeed,
and that saved for seed and the process repeated
after year until he got a new variety"
There was another new variety" that got the ap-
pslIaton of "throwu wheat" The name came from
the practice of the originator of throwing his wheat
the length Of bis thrashng floor and selecting the grains
that went fhest. These of course, the largest,
and heaviest and best for seed, and in time really
seemed TO produce new eariety.
If seed wheat is taken from tho bulk Il should not be
Gown until 1t has been screened and over, until
there ia not grain Of wheat anything else that viii
pass through the sieve. In this way you may make
pretty good selection Of the best portion Of the wheat
and exclude all small sbnveled, diseased grains, and
ali seeds Of chess and weeds except eocklc which de-
fes the arts of machinists.
We have just read an account Of an Illinos wheat.
grower stating that bis crop increased over three bush.
els per acre by "changing seed" The effect, in ou'
opinion was not poduced 80 much bya change OF seed
the variety being the same from the fact that the
seed he obtained had been better selected.
There Is not one farmer in hundred that does not
know and acknowledge the advantage Of ss'eeuns
seed corn by gathering the most perfect ears 10 the nela
If he win practice selecting wheat seed 10 WIZ proc
ably be~ome as fully convinced Of iis advantages We
believe that the wheat crop Of tho whole uned States
can bs increased ~ much upon every srm, ~ the i
