WASHINGTON, February 27.-IN THE SENATE
the proceedings are not Of general interest.
In THE HOUSE bill was presented for bridg-
ing the Ohio at Paducah. Raum, of illinois,
opposed the bill, because the whole railroad
system OF the Soath was guaged differently
from Northern roads, expressly in view OF the
separation OF the two sections. The bill was
passed.
A bill tor constructing postal bridge over
the Ohio, at Licking River, was passed.
The consideration of the Civil Appropriation
bill was resumed.
MIR. Colfax read tc the House letter from
the Chief of Police in New York to the Chief
at Washington, containing statement that I.
P. shaffner reported that one hundred and
sixty pounds of nitro-glycerine was in unau-
tborized hands. The New York Chief feared
that it was intended for Washington. The
communication seemed to create more alarm
than merriment.
The House afterward adjourned.

AMONG THE WHEAT FIELDS or
MINNESOTA.
From Harper's Monthly.

From Harper's Monthly.
Minnesota is pre-eminently the
wheatgrowing State of the Union. AL
most the youngest of the political sister,
hood, with settlement and town histo-
ry Of hardly more than decade, she
now boasts Of quarter of million of
inhabitants, and contributes largely to
the wheat markets of the East Owing
to the peculiarity of her climate aud
soil, she>is the best adapted of any of
the States to the raising Of this staple.
Wheat is in fact Almost her exclusive
object Of production. None farm here
except for this. Her dry, clear, and, for
the most part, cool atmosphere makes
Minnesota the very paradise of wheat
growers. AS one stands on the boundless
rolling prairies Of this country, and looks
around him on every side, and sees the
interm;nable reach Of slightly .undula-
ting soil, clad with golden-rod, fire.

ing plants intermixed with prairie. grass,
and notices The almost utter absences
of forest, and catches the onward rush
Of the fresh, cool southern breeze that
sweeps by with voluminous force, he
iavoluntarily thinks of the wide expanse
Of the ocean, and snutfs the wind as he
would the sea-breeze itself Wide and
measureless, indeed, is the rush Of
these unseen steeds of the mir. You
hear them approaching, with distant,
subdued murmur; you feel them pass
you on either side, uttering their breezy
calls, and lashiug the atmosphere with
their whistling names you recoil from
them-airy charges as they are-dash-
ing at your chest, and dividing with
mysterious spirit.essence about your
head, threatening to carry away, Indian
fashion, your hair With the tingling
scalp. If they did,, nothing would be
more natural, not perhaps to you, but
to these primeval liywar. paths Of the re-
ccntly.departed Sioux. For,sth only
yesterday was the delig ghtsome land Of
the Dacotah, the hnnting-ground Of
Wabashaw, and the scene Of Winoua's
love aud tragical end. =.
Wheat is planted in Minnesota as
early as the weather and ground will
