HARPER's MAaAzISE-The June number
oil Harper's Magazine is on our table. 1t
commences the Thirty-frst volume Of this
popular monthly. It has an average circu-
latlon ofupwards of one hundred thousand,
and has greatly increased during the last
four years. The publishers state that they
nave made arrangements which warrant
them IN promising that the ensuing volume
snail not be Of less value or interest than
any that have preceded it. Among its
contents is the second paper entitled
"Washoe Revisited" giving an interesting
account OF a visit to that part of our country
Chapter VII Of "Heroic Deeds of Heroic
Men !" being well-written history of the
change OF base Of our army under Gen.
Mcclellan; and complete and correct
resume of the current events of the past
month. Among the illustrations are several
scores in Washoe, a portrait Of General
Mccall, Gen. Kearney, and several battle
scenes. Harper's Magazine is decidedly
the best work of the kind published in this
country. Its articles on National affairs
are ably written, its historical productions,
are from the pens Of writers Of merit, who
are selected for the purpose on account OF
being thoroughly conyersant with the
matters on which they treat. The contri-
butors of literary articles are in the front
rank of American authors, and there is
none of the sickly sentimentality in their
productions that is so proyerbial in most Of
the stories that appear in our magazines. On
the other hand they are of high-toned
character, from which the reader derives in-
struction as well as pleasure. 1t is a work
which should be generously supported, as the
standard of American literature.
THE WYALUsIN0 The United States
steamer Wyalusing, fourteen guns, arrived
at New York on Sunday. She has been in
commission fifteen months, since February,
1864, and was built at Philadelphia by
Cramp 4 Sons, her engines being put in by
Pusey, Jores & Co., Wilmington, Del. She
was hurriedly despatched, in company with
the United States steamers Mattsbessett
and Sassacus, to Albemarle Sound, North
Carolina, in April, 1864, to encounter the
rebel ram Albemarle, which at that time
gas source Of great disquiet to the Union
forces in the Sound. The squadron soon
met her, and an engagement ensued in
which the rebel monster was signally de-
feated, and forced to return to Plymouth
Subsequently, the Wyalusing assisted in the
capture of the last named place, as well as
in the Roanoke expedition, where she passed
over two lines OF torpedoes uniujured, thus

was destroyed. During the time she was
stationed in the Sound she was actively
engaged in aiding in the suppression of the
rebellion.
FERTILIzRRs.-Allen 4 Needles, No. 42
South Delaware Avenue, inform our farmers
that they continue to manufacture their
celebrated Super Phosphate of Lime, and
will offer none other for sale, at their estab-
lishment. The we'll known reputation Of
this Fertilizer, renders il almost unnecessary
to say word in commentator Of it. 1t
has been in general use in this State for q
number of years, and has been employed
with marked success by the agricultural
portion Of the community. Laads which
raised but q small crop, by the applicatioH
of the Superb Phosphate Of Lime, have been
made to yield abundantly, and more than
repay the outlay, in one season. Farmers
WHO intend to manure their lands the present
season, should test the virtues of Allen
Needles Super Phosphate, as we feel con-
tident that it will give entire satisfaction.
