VIII EAT, MUD, AND QUININE.
Western Gossip I'm General and
Cincinnati's in Particular.
MUD THREE FEET DEEP THE UNIVERSAL
MoTTo-aREAT EXPECTATIONS.

MOIlo-ohhAl AllONbs
CINCINNATI, March 15.-Returnlng
thus far from the bOna-fide West, / de-
sire To report that the three things most
noticeable in this part Of the free republic
are the wonderful growth of the wheat
the extraordinary depth Of the mud.
The great grain districts are covered
with wheaton mantle of most gorge Gus
green. The Oldest inhabitant proudly
proclaims his "disrememberance" of any
thing equal to the rich promise of the
com ing crop. In certain wheat-growing
States farms Of 5000 acres are by no
means infrequent, and there are several
in Iowa and Minnesota ten or twelve
times az large. This present display is
made by what is called the winter wheat
| asked an aged farmer, Truehsart by
naue, the difference between the spring
and winter wheat. He looked at me
sadly for a few moment, and then,
taking pity on my unassured ignorance,
explained that "spring wheat is sown
and harvested in the same year, while
winter wheat Is sown in autumn, usu-
sually in September, when 1t terminates
and the plant grows until stopped BY
cold weather, 1t remains dormant during
the winter, and renewes its growth ia the
spring, ripening about midsummer.
Inquiry, based upon the singular for
watdness of the crop and the hastIness
of its growth, disclosed a strange condi,
tion Of affairs. The farmers are in the
dumps Of to-day, and also in the ecstacies
of the future. In other words, they are
shut In from the markets by the condi-
tion of their roads, while they fsrsee a
prosperity for the coming autumn such
as has not gladened their eyes in de-
cade. Barns and granaries are bursting
with the good things of life, for which
Europe and the East are hungry, butlthe
soft, deep treacherous mud interferes
with hauling, and the farmer whose
barns are three miles distant from the
railroad depot might as well be penni'
less tramp. Ingenuity and profanity are
taxed In vain. The producers have pro
duced-and that's the end of it. If the
producers can't get their produce to thu
depots the wheat might as well stay II
tho ground.
"What's the cause of this mud?"
asked OF Cropper about six feet high
slim, and vigorous as masticator of th'
leaf.
'Rain. We've had more rain anl
more sunshine, more melt and less freez,
: than any set O. Westerns that ever lived
: The Lords altogether too good. Hall
the rain would have suited us just a
} we'll, and the less sunshine the better
ntll the nat'ral time for sunshin
comes.'
The winter seems to have been pecu
liarly "open" out this way. The heaven
have opened so much that Jack Eros
became disguised, and now, when sprin
overcoats are burden and flannel gar
ments shade too heavy for comfort, al
nature emulates Mrs. Chick, and with al
effort sends out the crops which ordinari
ly tarry in their frozen beds and unde
the sheets of snow and ice until April
and sometimes later yet.

THEIR INNOCENCE.
Yesterday afternoon Harry Morrow
and Yonlxers, of the Y. M. q. A, of this
city, went over to New Castle to inform
Collins and Chambers that there was no
chance for pardon, and that their exc
cution would take place on Friday
morning. As gently as possible they
broke the alarming Intelligence but the
two men, either from consciousness of
their guilt or from other causes, did not
seem to be much surprised. They heard
the announcement without visible emo
ton, but protested their innocence to
the last moment of the interview. Cham
bers insisting that the woman had put
up job" on him. ''-
Chambers is about forty-five years of
age, and was born in Galena, Kent coun-
ty, Md, where he was formerly slave
of Mr.. Joseph Pierce. He came TO Della
ware when he was young man. Col
lins is only about 10 years old, but he
does not know his exact age.
EXAGGERATED REPORTS.
Grossly exaggerated reports in regard
to the Governors decision have been
sent from Wilmington to the morning
papers. One report in the New York
Herald, stated that leading citizens OF
Wilmington were greatly excited and
talked of holding an indignation meet
ing. OF course there is no truth in this
report
DENIAL.
j. l.. Vallandigham, Esq, counsel fol
the condemned men, called at the GA
zETTE Office this morning, to state that
certain insinuations (which had beer
made to the effect that the Governor
treated him and his associates disrespect
fully, were totally false. He said tina
the Governor, throughout, acted will
the utmost kindness, courtesy and con
lsideration in the matter.
