FAIR HAVEN, August 20, 1s69
The fourth annual regatta on the Shrewsbury river
came of yesterday afternoon and was throughout o
very spirited affair." The circumstances attending
the race were most favorable, and finer contest
has perhaps never taken place the same course.
The contestants were oil catrigged, and four prizes
were offered for competition, namely, fifty dollars
q set OF silver spoons silver goblet
and suit OF c0lOrs. In anticipation
OF an interesting exhibition a very large
number Of spectators congregated on the shore,
while the balconies Of Van Tines HOTEL opposite,
from which the boats started, crowded by FASH
iOnable assemblage. Several yacht clubs, including
the BayOnne, Neptune and others, were largely rep
resented. Towards two O'Clock the entries were
closed, and the racers got In line In front Of the
wharf. Inc entire course was only ten miles, as

stakeboat off Locust Point around O stakeboat of
the steamboat landing, Red Bank; thence around q
stakeDoat or Browns dock, and back TO the start
ing point. One and o half minutes to the fox were
allowed on the start. The muster OF yachts was not

Five hundred millions in gold was the
sum of the Wall street sales of that terrible
Friday. This amount of gold, upon a
rough estimate, allowing sixteen dollars to
an ounce, and sixteen ounces to the pound
and two Thousand pounds to the ton, and
one ton to each cart, would require thous-
and carts to move it; and allowing twenty
feet to each horse and cart, the string of
carts would be about eight miles long. No
wonder Wall street collapsed Herald.

Memphis, 81 Paso and San Diego.

The work of constructing the Southern
Pacific road may be said to have begun.
A week ago Generals Rosecrans and Sedg-
wick left San Francisco for San Diego to
commence operations. Enough of the cap
ital stock to build the San Diego and ella
section has been subscribed already, and
this section will be pushed rapidly to com,
pletion. 1t runs across the plains for its
entire length, fanking the Rocky Noun
tains and the Sierra Nevada chain. The
route is to the Southwark of the region of
snow, and the work of construction can,
therefore, progress winter and summer
without interruption. The country it ira
verses is mainly level and comparatively
little excavating or tunneling will be ne
cessary. 1t is expected the entire section
will be completed within two years.
While this work is about to begin from
the western end, influential parties arc
busy in this country and in Europe organ
izing the means for active operations from
the east and at intermediate points, and it
may he safely predicted that in very few
years a complete line from San Diego to
Norfolk, superior in every respect to the
present line via Omaha to San Francisco,
will be in operation Wing.

Proper Depth for Covering Wheat.

AS appropriately illustrating the subject
of wheat seeding, the CdnadG Farmer re-
fers to suit brought in Ohio several years
since to recover damages from man who
contrac cd to SOW certain field to wheat.
The field was sown, but either from care
lessness or want of judgment, the seed was
drilled in from six to seven inches deep.
But small quantity of it pushed plants
above the surface, and these were of so
feeble and exhausted character that very
little wheat was harvested from them.
Damages were claimed on the ground OF
improper sowing, and witnesses intro
duced to substantiate the truth OF the COM
plant. 1t appeared that on the stony and
stumpy portions of the ground where the
drill could not penetrate deeply, the yield
of wheat was good; hence the claim for
damage on account of improper seeding
Among the witnesses examined was one
who said: "Eight years ago made an cx-
pertinent to ascertain the proper depth to
plant wheat. Iplanted fifty seed at u pth
eff eight inches; a like number, seven, six,
five, four, three, two, and one inches, and
fifty grains l raked in on the surface.
OF those deposited eight inches, two came
up, but formed no heads; Of those deposit
ted seven inches, about one-fourth came
up through the ground, but formed no
heads. Ten of the fifty seeds covered
five inches deep, made detective heads A
few perfect heads resulted from the four
inch planting. All the three inch ones
germina' ed, but the two inch row was best
and came up sooner than the rest" Another
witness II should prefer to deposit wheat
Mt the depth of one inch--certainly not
deeper than two. 1t is mistake to sup
pose that deep seeding is any security from
winter killing. The roots OF plants form at
the surface, whatever may be the depth of
the seed. But, from frequent examina-
tions, l am well satisfied that wheat, not
planted deeper than two inches, will
start out better than that deposited at a
greater dcpth-that is, will produce more
plants and grain" -Moore's R'vM Ne,o
Yorker.

THE TENNESSEE LEGIsLATURE.-The
Legislature of Tennessee is to assemble on
Monday next. A dispatch says:
At this early day the following events
can be predicted with reasonable certain
ty of their fulillment: 1. Andrew johnson
will be elected United States Senator. 2.
The fifteenth amendment will not be rati-
fed. 3. A constitutional convention will
not be called at an early day, which body
will effect the acknowledgements of every
disfranchised person in the State. 4. In
any event the bonds of the State will not
be repudiated, although earnest advocates
for such measure will not be wanting. 5.
The partisan legislation of the last few
years will be generally repealed. These
are the main questions to come before the
Legislature and convention growing out of
it. The fight of the Senatorship will be
fierce, but the result can be told in adj
vance.
