FLOUR. eRAIH AND HAY

Samples Of new wheat have been freely
exhibited, but we have not heard of the re-
ceipt of any considerable lot since last
weekly review. Harvesting has been ma
terially hindered by the rains and the
wheat damaged in some localities. It is
now thought that the opening price will
not be far from S1.OO per bushel for good
quality.
The market for grain, breadstufTs and
feed continues very dull, the following be-
ing the recognized quotations:

The st. Nicholas Again.

Below we publish a communication from
an esteemed correspondent as to the death
of Capt. Ward, and which is said by Gov.
Letcher to have prevented the capture of
the Pawnee by the st. Nicholas. We
thank our friend for correcting us about
the name of the steamer commanded by
Capt. Ward, He is right about it. We
reeollect the name well now, though we
could not think Of it patti he suggested it.
The Freeborn was a small! boat having
been before The war a tug. She carried
two tolerably good sized guns, one in the
bow and the other in the stern, both of
which were easily seen from our shore

masked batteries at Matthias Point. and
every steamer passing either up or down
made it point to point their guns at that
point and shell it most valiantly and With
remarkable success in the way of destroy
ing any houses or forlorn cattle which
might be in sight. Grimes house, which
stood some little distance back, was a
favorite mark and doubtless was more
thoroughly bombarded than any other
house within the Confederate States. But
we believe it still stands, though 1t must

certainly was and is now very COLI for
this season of the year, ice having formed
every night since Friday last, and in some
places nearly an inch thick. On Sunday
night, which was the coolest, the thermom
eter about dark was down to 2S-four de-
grees below freezing point, and was at the
same point at 8 A. NJ. next morning.
Though it has since moderated slightly it
has been very cold both day and night.
From the best information we can get
we do not think the freeze has been very
disastrous. Tobacco plants have pretty
generally been destroyed, but by prompt
re-seeding this loss may be supplied
Wheat has not been injured to any ex-
tent, but young clover was badly cut by
it. All the early fruit and such as was
in blossom has undoubtedly been destroy
ed. and that which was not so far advanc-
ed somewhat injured. All of our indus
trious and enterprising friends who had
gone into the early gardening business
have been decided sufferers. Peas and
other things above ground were ruthlessly
slaughtered and tomatoe plants stood no
chance. Quenzel who had sold quite a
number of these latter, is chuckling at the
thought that his customers will have to
duplicate their orders. He says he has a
plenty to supply everybody, having Gov
cred them every night with two feather
beds on which he slept by way of keeping
them hot.
