An OIn f.ncn,r ne,urneh.

It is twenty years or more since the "grain
Yorm," OF Wsevil, as it is eFroneOusly called,
made its appearance in nertheTn New Eng
land. Gradually but steadily it spread over
the New England States, and then travelling
westward, through New York, Pennsylvania
and other States, finally exhausted itself sub
stanti8lly in the great North-west. The move.
ment Of this enemy to the farmers was very
gradual, and the time required for lis migra-
ton from New England to the Mississippi
river, was perhaps full fifteen years; but we
thiAk it never proved as destructive in the west
crn as in the eastern and middle States.
The raVages Of this inject were almost en-
tirely confined to wheat; and such was its de-
structiFe agency upon this crop that the grow
ing of wheat, both of the winter and spring va.
Teties, was necessarily suspended for few
years, until the scouTge passed onward toward
the west. 1t disappeared each year on the
border Of the infected district, in just about The
game proportion that it extended its Tavages
westward.
Our exchanges and other sources Of infoTma,
ton, lead US to apprehend that the grain worm
is again becoming troublesome in the eastern
States. In New England, and in some locali-
ties in New York on the east side of the Hud-
son, there are occasional accounts Of fields
destroyed through its agency, and it would not
be strange if it should again lead to a susUan-
sion Of wheat growing, in considerable sec.
tious OF this country.
The enemy in question is one which oul
farmers are well acquainted with, but which
they have never yet been able fully to dislodgt
from their fields. Various expedients such al
early varieties Of winter and late sowing Of
spring wheat, have partially prevented tn,
threatened damage, but nothing has proved a
coEnplete remedy for the eViL--Nei1 Y0rb Jour
nal Of Commerce.

Our cd friends, the filibustrrs, appear to be
pretty well represented in the present war, es-
peciallg upon the side Of the South, whence
they formerly derived the most of their aid
and support The telegraph informs US that
Major Rober.-5etter known here as general
Wheat was moTtally wounded at the battle Of
Bull Run. Meior Wheat was a fac, handsome
fellow, of tried and undou5.ed bravery. He
has been engaged in almost all the iilibustsT
fights, was an aid to Alvarez in Mexico, and
fought, at first cB amateur, and afterward on
Avezzans's s-afi in Italy, during the late Gar
ibaldiaR war.
In the fight at ScaTey's creek-appropriate
nams-we find another f'libus er, Col. Frank
Anderson, who was second in command in
Walkers last expedition, and was captured by
the British and sent TO New Oceans. Col.
Anderson is a natural fIlibuster, and went
into the southern army as if by instinct.
Probably his old failure and capture reawaita
him.

quite az well known here as General Wheat, is

These gentlemen are on the side Of th

On the contrary, they have iscred at and in
