PETITI0NING FOR THE REMOVAL OF Mr..

President for the removal of Secretary Welles
has been placed in the Merchants Exchange

signed by the merchants there; and it is rumored
that similar petitions are to be prepared in this
cityand Philadelphia. The utility Of any such
proceeding is, however, very questionable.
Whatever may be the shortcomings of the Pre-
sent Secretary Of the Navy-and we have fre-

cognizant of the same, and that when the proper
moment for the change arrives he will act

A House OF RECEPTION FOR THE RETURNING
VOLUNTEERs.-We are sure that the national
feeling is in favor Of every reasonable provision
being made for the comfort of the sick and
wounded volunteers returning from the seat of
war; and as there will doubtless be many such
passing through this city from time to time
during the continuance of the war, we suggest
that house of reception should be established
for them here without delay. 1t is the duty Of
the War Department to take the matter in hand,
and we trust we shall speedily hear of resting
place Of the kind being provided for the
brave men, who have suffered in their
scountrys cause. When the sick and wounded
from Ncwbern arrived in this city few days
ago, those who were without homes here had
no place Of shelter to which they could resort
without expense; and as many of them had but
little or no money, and a journey to the
New England States still before them, they
suffered great hardship, especially those
who, from want of medical attendance,
we're unable to get their wounds dressed
It will not only be reproach to the country
at large, but to the humanity of the wealthy
citizens of New York, it such suffering as those
poor fellows from North Carolina endured
in our midst is allowed to go unrelieved
We are charitable people, and the soldier
ought not to be left to the mercy Of individual
benevolence, but be comfortably cared for by the
government, or, failing that, while in this city,
some provision should be made by the Corpo-
ration If even any charitable association
would devote itself to the good work. pending
other action on the subject, our citizens, we are
sure. would promptly respond to any call
for subscriptions to aid the undertaking. By all
means let something be done, and that quickly.

A SUGGESTION TO PLANTERS.

Mr. EDITOR: Allow TO make another suggestion
through your columns to the farmers of Mccklenburg
and neighboring region. The has been in
suspicious that there has been sufficient breadth
of panted and there is deficiency of labor. The
suggestion make is intended to meet, in meas
urc these difficulties 1t is this: that rs as
the wheat and winter oats gathered the best parts
of the spbble lands be thrown into ridges and crop
of Mountain Corn be planted. The small grain may be
shocked in and allowed to stand in the field till
the is planted The ridges may be made by three
burrows and the middle broken after the removal
of the wheat oats. There is no doubt that this
mountain will mature before frost. 1t will not
need work until the other crop is laid by. And
the thrashng of the wheat may be postponed, in
the mountains, until Fall
The best variety of mountain is, perhaps, the
Rock Greek, which may be obtained in Mitchell county
formerly Yancey) but other varieties may be had by
sending to the mountains in almost any direction. 1t
would be the surest way to obtain seed in time to send
large district. But it may also be had the way to
the Salt Works, and rs they give very small loads of
SALT each wagon could easily bring few bushels of
in addition.
If be objected to this plan that it would exhaust
the land rapidly require crops from it in one
year, the Isl that it rs not recommended as a
general practice but only ct the cxgency
We make as large crop this year possible and
let next year take of ITSELF believing meanwhile,
that cannot be under the necessity next year
