WINTER WHEAT We were shown a
bunch of winter wheat on Monday last,
which was enough to make the heart of
any man glad that he had cast his lot in
Minnesota. 1t was. raised on the farm of
Francis Burke, in the timber land of LIE
Sueur county, about Six miles from this
place. Mr.. B. had just completed cutting
it. Some of the heads were six inches in
length, and contained ninety-fve grains of
wheat! And such gr-ins! They were
plump as fat maiden's cheek, almost as
beautiful, end twice the size of much of
the wheat that is pronounced fair article.
The yield will be near fifty bushels per
acre. ~ a-
This wheat was sown during the last
week of August, and when the first snow
fell was about four inches high. The length
of the wheat prevented the snow from
blowing off, and thus solid covering of
snow remained on until even after it had
thawed off the adjacent ground in the
spring. Mr., B. thinks winter wheat can
be raised fully as successfully on heavy
loan prairie soils by sowing in the latter
part Of August. Peter Statesman.

OF the city is far FROM being such as to warrant
the employment of either in defining it cor

place as to enable the batteries to throw shot
and shell into it, it is really no more invested

Your very brief dispatches. of the 18th and

piratical craft Alabama or No. 29O had been
sunk on the 10th of June, near meridian. by
the Kearsarge. under your command, were this
day received l congratulate you on your
good fortune In meeting this vessel, which had
40 long avoided the fastest ships and some of
the most vigilant and intelligent officers of the
service, and for the ability displayed in this
combat YOU have the thanks Of the depart
ment You will please express to the officers
and crew OF the kearsarge the satisfaction of
the Government at the victory over a vessel
superior in tonnage superior in number of
guns, and superior In number of her crew.
The battle was SO brief, the victory so decisive,
and the comparative results so striking. that
the country will be reminded of the brilliant
actions of our infant navy which have been
repeated and illustrated in this engagement
The Alabama represented the best maritime
effort OF the most skilled English workshops.
| Her battery was composed of the well-trled
32-pOunderS of 81 cwt., of the famous d.
FOUNDER of the British Navy. and OF the only
successful rit1ed 100 FOUNDER yet produced IN
England: The crew were generally recrnited
in Great Britain, and many OF them received
superior training on board Her Majestys gun
ming ship the Excellent. ~
The Kearsarye is one of the first gunboats
built at our navy yards at the commencement
of the rebellion. and lacks the improvements of
vessels now under constr 1ction. The princi-
pal guns composing her battery la never
been previously tried in an exclusively naval
engagement, yet in one hour you succeeded in.
sinking your antagonist. thus fifty ending her
predatory career, and killed many of her crew.
without injury to the Kearsarge or the loss ola
single lite on your vessel. Our countrymen have
reason to be satisfied that in this as in every
naval action of this unhappy war, neither the
ships, the guns, nor the crews have been dete-
riOrated, but that they maintain the ability and
continue the renOwn which ever adorned our
naval annals rf itssHs I
The President has signifed his intention to
recommend that you receive o vo.e of thanks,
in order that you may be advanced to the grade
of Commodore.
Lieut. Commander James 8. Thornton. the
Executive Officer of the Kearsarge, will be re-
commended to the Senate for advancementten
numbers in his grade, and You will report to
the department the names of any others of the
officers Or crew whose good conduct on the
occasion entities them to especial mention
