General Meagher's Farewell to his Brigade.

To My OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS, My
CoUNTRY1rEN AND COMRADES IN ARMS
A positive conviction of what I owed to
your reputation, to the honor of our race,
and to my own conscience, compelled me
a few days ago to tender to the President
of the United States my resignation of
this command 1 shall not recapitulate
the reasons which induced and justified
me to do so. 1t would be superfuous.
There is not a man in this command who
is not fully aware of the reasons which
compelled me to resign, and there is not
man who does not thoroughly appreci-
ate and approve it. Suffice it to say that,
the Irish Brigade no longer existing, I
felt that it would be perpetrating great
deception were l to retain the authority
and rank of a brigadier-general nominal
ly commanding the same. I therefore
conscientiously, though most reluctantly,
resigned my command. hatresignation
has been accepted, and as your general I
now bid you an afectionate farewell. I
cannot doso, however, without leaving on
record the assurance Of the happiness,
the gratitude, and pride with which re-.
vert to the first days of the Irish Brig
ade, when it struggled in It's infancy, and
was sustained alone by its native strength
and instincts, and retrace from the field,
where it first displayed its brilliant gal
lantry, all the efforts, all the hardships,
all the privations, all the sacrifices which
have made its history-brief though it
be-sacred and inestimable Sharing
with the humblest soldier freely and
heartily all the hardships and dangers of
the battle -feld-never having ordered an
advance that 1 did not take the lead my
self thank God that have been spar
ed to do justice to those whose heroism
deserves from me a grateful commemora-
ton, and that I have been preserved to
bring comfort to those who have lost ia
Tiers, husbandsy and brothers in the sol
diers who have fallen for noble govern
ment under the green flag. My life has
been a varied one, and have passed
through many distracting scenes. But
never has the. river that flowed beside my
cradle, never have the mountains that
overlooked the paths of my childhood,
never have the old walls that claimed the
curiosity and research of maturer days
been efaced from my memory. As at
first, as in nature, the beautiful and glo-
rious picture is indelible. Not less Wv
id, not less efFaceable will be the recol-
lection of my companionship with the
Irish Brigade in the service of the Uni
ted States. The graves of many hund-
reds of brave and devoted soldiers, who
went to death with all the radiance and
of the noblest chivalry, are
so many guarantees and pledges that as
long as there remains one officer or SOL
dier of the Irish Brigade, so long shall
there be found for him, for his family
and his little ones, if any there be, de-
voted friend in

The Coming Wheat Crop.

In Ohio, everybody appears to be hap
PLY disappointed at the favorable appear
ance Of the wheat fields. The dry fall
gave little promise; and with the early
opening spring, the fields were looking
discouragingly bare-but Providence has
vouchsafed exactly the weather in April
and May to remedy the effect of the dry
fall. Wherever a seed terminated, it
has followed the injunction to "increase
and multiply" and at this date the stools
are fine and large, hiding the bare ground
and giving promise of fair yield. These
remarks apply generally to the whole
State of OhiO-yet there are isolated
fields, and occasionally considerable range
of country, where the crop viii prove al
most failure. We have noted very care
fully the reports of our Ohio exchanges,
to which may be added the testimony Of
our numerous Ohio Farmer correspond
ents, and they all sustain US in the opin-
ion that the crop will far exceed the first
expectations Of the season, and will prove
nearly if not an average one. In the
northwestern and western counties the
crop is generally good-in the range of
counties through the eastern middle Of
the State, including Stark Wayne, &C.,
it is hearty and fne-in the southern
counties it is also reported as presenting
a handsome appearance. Reports from
the Miami valleys vary-but the weight
of evidence is in favor of an average crop.
Of the Scioto valley and some Of the
counties lying upon its northern outskirt,
report is not so favorable; on the tena-
cious clay lands and in the rich loose
loan of the valleys alike good deal was
winter killed, but what is left gives hopes
of fruitful yield. As We before remark
ed, the weather during the close of April
and in the opening weeks of May dissi-
pated the fears with which the farmers
entered upon the year, and gave them
additional reason for the fullest faith in
the promise of an appropriate seed
time" as well as cheerful "harve5t"
The breadth Of land cultivated falls
below that of tba oron of 1850 The av-
cessive dry fall made sad hole in the
number of acres that almost every farm
er had determined to sow-and probably
in this way at least one-si1th of the land
intended for wheat was left uncultiyated.
This deficiency will be met, probably, by
an increased breadth of spring crops, and
thus the years yield will exhibit no de-
crease in the total amount of food crops.

Down to me.
Angel hands were guiding
And the Tippling waves were breaking
Into song.
For the little bark was bearing
Richest freight,
Sent to me by God, from Heavens
Pearly gate.
Preached ont M hand to clasp it
Who amIy
That the God of Heaven should send me
From on high
In tiny, jeweled casket
Such gem
To make brighter for his glorious
Diaden.
Dare take the priceless jewel
Rich and rare,
$50 weak and SO unworthy;
It-sO fair
Cod is good to trust this jewel
Unto me;
Teach me, Father, how to brighten
1t for Thee.
