CINCINNATI, o, April IA gentleman
who has just completed tour through West
Virginia and Kentucky gives an interesting
report relative to the condition of winter
wheat. He was on horseback large part
of the time, and far up on the Elk and head
waters of the most prominent streams, as
well a. in the valleys of West Virginia and
through the entire central part of Kentucky,
from east to west He reports that wheat is
looking better and more promising than for
yesrs, and says unless there is some draw
back hereafter the crop will be heavy; frost
has nor affected it. Corn is in a good
state of forwardness. Fruits were pretty
badly injured by the frost in some sections,
but upon the whole the outlook Is fine.

The future of new orleans.
IN. O. States. March l4.l

Certainly the views Of such gentle
men as Mesars. Huntington and Pierce,
who were in the city yesterday, as to
the future of New Orleans are of great
interest. Not because they are great
capitalists or wiser than other men, or
know more abeut New Orleans than
our own representative men but be-
cause they are at the head of and con-
troll the movement of immense enter
prises which may seriously injure or
immensely benefit this port accordingly
as they are directed against us or in
our interest.
Yesterday a member Of the staff of
the States had brief and hurried
conversation with Mr.. Huntington :
but brief as the interview was it was
highly gratifying. Mr. Huntington ex-
pressed the opinion that New Orleans
was destined in the near future to a
great revival of trade and industry
and, in time, to become one of the
great cities of the United States This
is the hope and belief, however, of us
all, and the opinion of the great rail-
road magnats could not we'll increase
our sanguine expectations.
OF much more Importance was his
declaration that millions of bushels OF
wheat will seon be shipped to this port
from California ever the Southern
Pacific Railroad; and of still greater
consequence was his assertion that
steamship lines with through freight
rates to all European ports will be es-
tablished at this port in connection
with the Southern Pacific combina-
tions.
Some months ago the States repro
duced from one of the leading San
Francisco papers portions of an inter
view with Mr.. Crocker, president Of
the Southern Pacific, in which hs said
most positively that it was the iaten
tion of his company. if other capitalists
did not establish them, to put on sew
eral lines of steamships, to run between
New Orleans aud European ports, and
to bring the bulk of the emigration to
this country this way, and thus popu,

Territories along the line of the South.

now to have Mr.. Crocker's declaration
confirmed and e-established by Mr.
Huntington, the heass of this grea

1t is very popularawith people, es-
pecially small minded ones, to indulge
in considerable cheap wit about the
defects of newspapers, which of course
they have, from the great, influential,
wealthy city daily to the small, strug-
Cling country weekly. We have seen
people throw down the large Boston
dailiesSwith disgust, and say there was
nothing in them, when they were
crowded with reading matter by the
square yard, set in fine type at that;
but it was because the subjects did not
interest them, or else their pet schemes
were not sufficiently puffed up. People
talk about the trivial items found In
country papers, and such is the case
frequently, but oftentimes there is
nothing else to publish. The streng
point of country weekly is local
news; but many people expect more
novels than in a story paper, more
telegraphic news than in a metropoll
tan daily, more editorials than in
monthly review, mere gossip than in
a sewing circle, and more facts than In
an unabridged dictionary or a i've
hundred dollar encyclopedias. How
ever, when a person sees his own name
in print, no matter how small the item,
it suddenly becomes quite Important
that is, both item and newspaper.

The devastation and ruin by the over.

pers to have reached, already, $40,0O0,-

are left homeless and destitute, their

som Of destruction and they are to-
day compelled to ask subsistence from
the State and national governments.
Fortunately, but small portion Of our
