WINTER WHEAT IN VIRG1NIA.-We have
received the Monthly Agricultural Report OF
the Department of Agriculture for April. In
relation to the wheat crop, the Report says :
more than fifty counties in Virginia made re-
ports, nearly all more or less unfavorable. In
Loudoun, usually good in Prince George the
crop looks well where the drill had been used
in seeding, and in Orange twas promising es'
pecially the drilled fields; In Nansemond,
James City and Northampton it was above
average, and in Rockingham, except where
the fly had injured few early fields. 1t made
q bad show IL SpotsyIvania in March, but has
recovered good degree Of vigor. 1t was re-
ported improving in Amelia, Augusta, Gray
SOD, Frederick, and other counties. Heavy
rains in February were injurious IN Accomac;
a few eary-sown fields in Madison look we'll,
but most of the area in wheat is unpromlslng;
in GrceDviIc the injury from frost was severe
but less so ia drilled fields; In Middesex the
appearance was worse than for years Some
counties merely report ''backwardness' and
slow growth, which favorable weather will
measuraby remedy, and the apparently winter
killed may realize similar improvement"

THE MoDoc WAR.-In Brcvet Major Gen
eral Wheaton's official report concerning the
Modoc war, he says:-''I have been twenty
three years in the service Of the Government,
and have been employed a greater portion OF
that time on our remote frontier, and generally
engaged in operating against hostile Indians
In this service | have never before encounter
ed an enemy, civilized or savage, occupying a
position OF such great natural strength as the
Modoc stronghold, nor have | ever seen troops
engage better armed and more Skilltul foe. !"
The Washington Chronicle says:-"Gcneral
Sherman entcrtains the opinion that the H.
dams may be well supplied with both food and
water that the women and children have been
sent for safety to some remote quarter; that
none but warriors are in the lava beds near the
scene of hostlities Ample arrangements have
been made by General Sherman and the Off
GERS in Immediate command to augment the
number Of troops sufficiently to environ and
destroy or capture the whole Modoc force, if
they should not in the meantime abandon their
present location, which is now the only serious
danger to be apprehcnded."
