The Dimensions OF our New Territory.

In brief notice Of Mr.. Sumner's speech upon
the Russian purchase, yesterday, the area Of the
new acquisition was stated at five hundred and
seventy thousand square miles, with shore line
Of four thousand miles. II the islands and bays
are taken into the estimate, the coast line is be-
tween eleven and twelve thousand miles long.
That is, our Pacific coast is now much more than
twice as long rs it was before the pur .hase.
With regard to area, q few comparisons may
give US clearer ideas Of our bargain. Russian
America is sixty-fve and q half times as large as
Massachusetts,; between eight and nine times as
large as all New England; twelve times as large as
New York; nine times as large Virginia; twice
large as Texas; twice as large as the French en-
pire; or between six and seven times as large as
the isla2d Of Great Britain. 1t is considerably
larger than all the New England States, New York,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland,
Virginia. North and South Carolina, Florida, Ala
bama and Mississippi together.
OF the islands on the coast, Admiralty is very
nearly the size of Long island. 81. Lawrence Nun.
yack and Oonilnak are little smaller, and Kodiak
is larger by fourteen hundred and fifty square
miles. There are several sounds, straits and bays
which have from twice to twenty-five times the ex-
tent of Long Island Sound. The river Youcon is
believed, on pretty good grounds, to be five times
as long as our Hudson, and as far as it has been
explored is very nearly as wide the Mississippi
The peninsula OF Alaska is about one-thlrd as
large as Florida.

A pangeroap Epsmy to the whs.t Crop.

A DanKeroQg Enemy 70 the Wheat Crop.
We learned, yesterday morning, from q gentle.
man who has had much experience in agricultural
matters, both in this State and in the North that
which the wheat plant has met IN the North, has
made lie appearance in the wheat fields In the
Vicinity Of this city. > gz = 81
It is small insect, at first yellow In color, but
which afterwards becomes black, and can be found
in the head, under the chat, next TO where the
from the grain, causes it to wither, and for the
tune, to present the appearance Of having been
picked by birds. This insect first made it's
appearance in ,this country in the State Of
Vermont, about forty years ago. For sew
the region Of country north OF Lake Champlain,
but it finally crossed this body OF water, and got
into the Genessee Valley, in New York, one ot the
finest wheategrowing SECTIONS IN the United States,
where it's raYages have been 80 destructive that
try have been compelled to abandon the culture Of
wheat entirely. For the last three or four years
an attempt was made to raise wheat in that coun-
try, but not enough was produced to furnish bread
for the inhabitants. The farmers there hope to
get rid Of it by raising no wheat for several years.
In Vermont, also, the culture Of wheat has been
entirely abandoned on account Of the ravages OF
this insect,
The gentleman from whom we obtained our in
formation, yesterday, thinks that his own crop has
been damaged fully twenty-five per cent. By wee
vii, Thus far it has only attacked the for ward
wheat there being no indication Of it on that sown
late. It is supposed that it has been brought here
in seed brought from the North last fall,
This is new enemy to the whe It in this section
OF country, not having been heard Of here before
The only variety Of "weevil" known here is an in
sect that attacks corn and wheat when kept in
garners for length Of time. 1t is to be deplored
that now, when the prospect for good wheat
crop is 30 promising, that this enemy should have
made its appearance, We can only hope that its
ravages may be less disastrous than is now feared

General Sheridan.

The Republican press Of the North don't seem tt
relish the military edicts Of some Of the com
manders Of the "unreconstructed. The Spring
field Republican thus speaks Of SHERIDAN:
The President has no; been disposed to inter.
fere with the military commanders, whatever they
might do; but these last acts Of General Sheridan
amount to open defiance Of his superiors, and In
crease the, difficulties of the situation in
Louisiana to such and extent that secre.
likely to insist on the supersedure Of Cen
eral Sheridan. He has shown boldness and dash
in civil as well as military movements, but it must
be conceded that he displays no great genius for
government. With all parties in New Orleans and
the War Department at Washington against him,
his usefulness as department commander must be
at an end. These difficulties should also bring out
The long-expected decision Of the Government as
to the proper limits Of the authority given to the
military commanders by the reconstruction bills.
The whole matter is at loose ends, and there will
be endless collision and confusion unless some well
defined principles are established on the subject
The New York Nation, the great organ Of radi-
calism, also gives him q touch in commenting on
his action removing Gov. WELLS, Of Louisiana:
eff the Government at Washington were to
acknowledge that an appeal to them from the deci-
sions of district commander might be treated by
the officer himself as offering an impediment to
tho faithful execution Of the law and punished
accordingly, the right Of appeal would be, Of
course, destroyed, and the various generals would
become absolute within the limits Of their juris-
diction-a result which the act certainly did not
contemplate" - - . =

w.irussia Commercial Regulations, SO.

The revenue cutter Lincoln, stationed on the
Pacific coas: Is preparing for acruise at San Fran
cisco, to Sltka, and along the shores OF Russian
America, under the direction OF the Treasury De-
psrtment, where she goes or the purpose ot look
ing after the interests Of the customs service, IN
anticipation Of early transfer OF the territory to
the United States under the treaty which ls e1-
pected to take place some time in July. 1t Will be
remembered that several weeks since information
was received by telegraph from st. Petersburg OF
.Oa the strength Of that ratification the Russian
Minister Baron Stoeckl, directed BY telegraph the
Consul at San Francisco, and the Russio1 a9thorl,
ties at Sitka that American goods might be landed
at the latter port from American vessels provided
| they came with manifests certified by United
States collector Of CUSTOMS and count rsigned by
Russian Consul 1t was also provided that they
| should be landed under the personal supervision
of an Americanagent The eSeoretary OF the Treas
ury instructed his officers at San Francisco In rea-
ton to these acts and 1T is probable an officer has
already proceeded to Sitka TO represent the tire"
ury for the present. To protect the commerce
thus springing up in that region, the Lincoln is
about 10 be dispatched thither as has been stated,
and will spend the entire season cruising In those
seas. ~
In order to make the cruise valuable as possible,
and at the same time meet the requirements OF the
Government and afford information to the country
as to the resources Of the territory, the Lin
coin will have on board five members of the corps
Of the Coast Survey, prepared to make general
.noisance Of the coast and particular survey
Capt. White, OF the cutter is an experienced nat-
raiist, and together with DIR. kellogg, surgeon OF
the vessel will give especial attention during the
voyage to wide range Of scientific inquiry, sug-
gested and guided by the Smithsonian Institute.
These gentlemen are directed not only to acquire
all possible information about the country, its ,l-
mate, productions and resources of all kinds, but
to produce specimens to be carefully preserved
and forwarded to Washington.
Capt. Howard, Of the revenue marine service,
who is peculiarly fitted for the service by an ac-
quaintance with these coasts, formed in previous
visits, will 60 from New York on the steamer M oi
the 10th inst, and take charge OF the vessel for
the voyage. The vessel, after visiting Sitka, will
cruise along the entire coast, if possible from the
southern extremity Of the country to the western
extremity Of Aeutian Islands; and no pains will be
spared to make the results valuable, aside from
the immediate object Of the cruise in the protec-
ton Of the revenue. Much information Is from
time to time coming to hand, going to show the
unexpected value Of the acquisition and it will be
main object in view upon the cruise to verify the
correctness of these Statements

The New York Times, referring to Gener

The New York Times, referring to General
SIcKLEs, says:
The true principle to be acted upon by the mill
tary commanders at the South is unquestionably
that which recognizes the supremacy of civil au.
thorty, and confines the action Of the military to
cases specifically pointed out in the recon.
struction acts or arising out OF the bad faith
or bad judgment Of the civil officers. On
this basis, all that is essential for carrying
out the will of Congress and securing the civil and
political equality Of the freedmen may be accom-.
plished without obtruding the presence and power
of the soldier save in exceptional instances. Gen
Sickles appears to entertain different idea ot
duty. His orders reveal disposition to reverse
the proper relations Of the powers, and make the
military the ever-present master, instead Of the
eyer-ready assistant, Of civil authority.
