WEARING OUT THE LAND.-The editor
of the Monthly Report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture of Washington, j.
r. Dodge. Esq has been on a tour of
inspection through the wheat growing
regions of the West His observations
there lead him to the conclusion that
the manner Of wheat cultivation in that
section is wrong, and must soon prove
ruinous to the farmers who practice it.
BY the course Of cropping pursued, 0 the
yield per acre has dwindled down from
twenty i've to thirty bushels to an aver
age of twelve to fourteen, and is yearly
diminishing. To arrest this downward
tendency it is proposed to diversity the
crops more, thus giving the soil 3 chance
to recuperate while supplying q greater
variety of product .,s. & ii

Fe publish this morning, COM
ainanioatiou from a prominent Repub-
lican. on the subject Of our candidate
for Mayor, mentioning favorably the
ma me of Captain AUGUST .LEMeKE,
for that position. We take pleasure
in uniting in = cordial endorsement
Of his fitness for the position, and We
are confident that his nomination by
the Republican City Convention would
result in his triumphant election.
There is a growing disposition on the
part Of our prominent citizens and
large taxpayers to compel Mayor
BAKER to reconsider his resolution
to retire from office at the close Of
his present term, and insist that he
shall once more assume the burthens
Of the position for the public good.
It is natural that, after nine years of
laborious application to the manage
ment Of municipal affairs, he should
desire the ease Of private life, but
now, more than al any other period IN
its history, does this City need
his administrative capacity and
financial skin. In order to main
tain our position and trade, aud
success fully compete with rival
cities, we must, during the next three
years, inaugurate and push through |
to successful completion two or three |
railroad enterprises. These |
will require a large increase Of our
debt, and nothing but the
very best financial management will
save Us from sinking under it. Good
f6ancieriug will bring as safely
and make Evansville one of
the graat cities of the West. The en-
Of the greatest Importance to
Us just now Is the Nashville Railroad,
IN connection with which Mayor BA-
KER Is row, by the unanimous re-
luest Of our prominent citizens, absent
n Kentucky.
The peculiar situation Of affairs,
With railroads cutting on our trade IN
III directions, makes it imperatively
necessary to the prosperity Of Evans
lille that Mayor BAKER should re-
main at the head Of the City Gov
rnment While there are plenty Of
God names which could be presented
o the Republican City Convention,
re do not see how We can dispense
7ith the services of Mayor BAKER
or another term. The Judgment Of !
hose who are most interested in the
Of Evansville. is so nearly
unanimous upon this subject, that he
annot, in justice TO the interests Of
he City, decline to make the race.

MAoYR BAKER.-The Mt. Vernon
Union, in noticing the fact that Mayor
BAKER will probably be a candidate
for re election, says:
We believe there is no man to
whom the City of Evansville is under
greater obligation than to Mr.. Baker,
and we feel assured that the people
will not now repudiate him. There
is nothing. indeed, that he could ask
at their hands which they should not
give He is an able, intelligent and
influential gentleman, and his efforts
in behalf of that city have thrown
business, amounting to millions, into
the hands of the merchants, traders
and mechanics.

the railroad meeting last week, left
yesterday to attend the meeting of the
Directors at Hopkinsville, and exam
inc into the condition and prospects
of the Company. Upon their return,
if they make a favorable report, there
is every probability that the city of

The Mobile Register has been great
ly encouraged by the tenders Of men
made to the President by Indiana
Democrats. 1t topples dispatch from
Harmony. Clay County, Offering one
thousand citizens of that county to
support the President in enforcing
the Constitution and laws to the Bit
ter end. The Register, however, fears
that the Radicals will not resort to
arms. Their effort will be to usurp
all the powers of the Government,
and control all its departments, and
in the name of law and Of legiti-
macy to handcuff the people
before they get to the polls,
to sweep them out of existence" If
the Radicals would only begin the
fighting, according to the Regis
ter, the country would be saved,
for the people North and West would
save it. Modesty forbids it saying
anything with reference to what the
South would do in the premises, in case
the partisans of the President and
Congress come to blows. But We can
assure the Register that the one
thousand men in Clay County, and
the one hundred thousand rendered in
Terre Haute, are only men in buck
ram" They were not visible to the
naked eye during the last war, and

The white friends of the color
ed Democrats in Memphis were the
worst victims Of misplaced confidence,
of whom we have had any knowledge.
just preceding the city election, the
correspondent Of the Cincinnati En-
quirer, In Memphis, telegraphed that
paper tina; the Democrats would sure
ly carry the election next DAY, for
they had succeeded in dividing the
negro vote With grim humor, he
told how the thing was accomplished.
He said the Radicals we're opposed to
empaBneling negroes as Jurors, but the
Democrats insisted upon their right
to serve as such, and carried their
point against Radical opposition. We
have been expecting some favorable
comments upon this rare strategy, and
doubtless would have had them, had
the election resulted differently. But
as it is, Northern Democratic ex.
changes are dumb. The party tried
to bamboozle the negro, and was
bamboozled itself. OF course. the
Memphis election has oceasioned a
little colduess, if not positive IN
pleasantness, between the "colored
democrats and their white friends.
