We have received at this Office copy of the
New Orleans Sunday Delta, from which we
gather some interesting items of news in that
quarter:
Notwithstanding New Orleans has been such
a hotbed of secession, and still contains vast
number of bitter haters of the Union, there still
seems to linger in the minds of many love of
the dear old Union under whose benign pro-
lection they have enjoyed the richest blessings
and privileges which flow from Government
at once the freest and noblest on the earth.
The "Glorious Fourth" was celebrated by
many OF the citizens in happy and appropriate
style, The Delta publishes an Grafton upon
the "Southern Rebellion" delivered before the
Union Association of N. O. by Rev. VIM. e.
Duncan D. D., which abounds in grand and pat
riotic sentiments, calculated to rekindle the
fame of true patriotism in the hearts of such
of their erring brethren as would listen to the
voice of reason. The ladies manifested their
appreciation of the Union by the presentation
Of handsome flag to the 18th Conn. Regiment.
Col. Birge handsomely acknowledged the COM
pliment in behalf of the brave boys ofhis hegt.,
who will ever cherish through danger and bat
tie this priced acknowledgment from the fair
daughters OF the Crescent City. The trifing
and insignificant fact is mentioned, that while
all other foreign as well domestic armed vessels
hoisted the Stars and Stripes in compliment to
the United States on that day, those of the
British remained with bare poles all day, in
marked contrast with the rest of the vessels.

Now, such talk is not only untrue, but foo lsh

FORTRESS MONROE, July &c.
am credibly informed that large rebel for
ces are being eoncentrsted on the line of the
DANES River above the junction of the Appom-
attox and James rivers. They came down from
Richmond by the Petersburg and Richmond
Railroad. 1t is believed they already number
from fifty to sixty thousann, and that Jackson
is in command OF them notwithstanding the
rumor that he is in pursuit of Gen. Pope. My
informant is very conidant that the rebels are
now making bold stand at the above named
place, and are bringing all the forces there
they can spare from Richmond. He believes
that it is the intention of the rebels very soon
to max al attack on Suffolk, as they are with

They then set fire to a lot OF ship timber and
left.
The rebel cavalry are almost daily prowling
about that region seeking plumber Of any kind,
and pressing into the service all the men they
can find who they think will be of any service
to them. Similar depredations are being com
mitted in the vicinity of Williamsburg, wheth-
er by the guerrilas or regulars of the rebel ar
nv, it is hard to determine, as they often go
clothed alike. By this disguise they often as

Over in Iowa there is a neighborhood of farm
eEs Tong noted for being successful in raising win
ter wheat, so much that they have attracted at
tentiOn from abroad-the widest attention this
year. Their secret is found to be simple, nothing
more than sowing their seed tolerably early in the
fall with sufficient quantity of oats to cover the
ground and protect the wheat through the winter
and spring. Some recommend that the oats be
first sowed and narrowed in, and that the wheat
be afterwards put in with a drill. The oats with
er at the first frost, fall and lie upon the ground,
forming light mattrass but sufficient to prevent
the killing effects of freezing and winds The
method cannot fail, will be seen at once. The
facts that the chinch bug and other casualties
have made this country almost failure for spring
wheat the bug being late crop we'll as spring
wheat, farmers must see to proper remedies. even
to the total abandoning of spring wheat. If win
ter wheat can be made successful crop by the
Iowa method of which entertain not doubt,
then the chinch bugs must fail for they are an
earlier crop. Let every farmer make the expert
ment which promises in all reason TO be certain
success. Let arrangements be made Immediately
for proc urlng winter wheat seed. Let five, ten
twenty farmers join and send one of their num-
Der to buy seed.
We clip the above from the Grant Co. herald,
andipresume it is just applicable to this locality
as the one for which it was written. We believe
many Of our farmers would find it to thec interest
to SOW part winter wheat instead of all spring.
OF course there should be discretion used to the
ground it is to be sowed upon. There are some
fields tibet it would not be advisable to put winter
wheat on, but almost every farmer h&a some
fields in his farm that would raise good winter
wheat, especially with the protection spoken OF
above. We have heard bpckwheat spoken of
very highly for tAe same purpose, instead of oats
We hope some of our farmers will try the expert
ment.
III. III. TnrbelI has field of winter whea1
on his farm that is iustSready for harvest, that we
are assured is as heavy and fine crop as ever
was raised, He tried as an experiment and is well
satisfied, and hereafter the spring wheat he sows
will be the exception instead of the general rule
He informs US that he used straw and coarse ma
nure spread oyer the ground as protection to the
wheat part of which he put on in the fall be
fore the ground froze, and the rest he put on il
the winter after snow fell The latter be thinks
did the beat. .- .a.
Mr. Tarbell thinks the plan of sowing cats with
the wheat to act as protection would work just
as well. He informs US that his wheat field, spo
ken of above, was on the open prairie, and was
therefore fair test of what may be done by any
