MANURING WHEAT.

The Ohio Farmer says, i'll answer to the
question, "What time ought soils for wheat
to be manuredp' -"It is usually best if a
large supply of manure is applied, to apply
it to the previous crop. BY this means it
is thoroughly incorporated with the soil, and
has time to become WELL dccomposed Ifit
is quite rotten, it may be applied previous to
the fall plowing, or if it is thought best, ap-
pl; it to the surface after plowing. The
wheat ought to have the advantage of the
application during the fall growth If the
roots are vel! set before winter, there is III.
tie dsnger of winter killing, and the plant in
the spring is ready to make rapid growth.
Heavy manuring of wheat at the time of
sowing, with crude materials, is not adviss-

The news by the last nights mail con-
Arms the news published elsewhere, of the
repulse at Charleston, and dispels any
hope of an easy victory on renewal of
the attack. Gen. Fosters situation at
Washington, N. c., is very critical, as he
is said to be completely surrounded and
without provisions. All troops sent to re-
lieve him have been driven back by supe-
rior numbers. 1t is rumored that Admiral
Farragut's feet is entrapped in the Red
river between two rebel tteries; this ru-
NOR however does not seem to be credited
1t is quite certain that the rebels are ma
king arrangements to drive our forces from
the peninsula. Yorktown and Suffolk, Va.
are said to be threatened by them. Skirm-
ishes between the pickets occurred at Will
liamsburg on Saturday last. Gen. McClel-
Ian is said to have rendered his reslgna-
tion.

We publish in another column, an account
Of successful raid, by an abolition spy, on

which sets out the affair with such startling
headings as, Treas enable organization =

'"Signs;'' " passwords, &C."
When the matter comes to be sifted, these
plain Dutchmen, will, in all probability, be
found to have met, as they had the undoubt-
ed right to do, for the purpose Of making up

" Treason,"" abduction" Grips" &c. which
the over Jealous spy, who was hidden in the

If ancient Abram really fears that one of
