A Mr.. S. S. Richards, at a late meet
ing Of Farmers Club at the West,
gives the following as his theory of Rust
in the Wheat;


| was always taught when young, that
the cause of ''rusl" IN wheat was frequent
showers, with a warm bot sun. But at
the age of twenly-three / began TO exam
inc for myself, aud have so continued to
do ever since, and have come to the con-
clusion long since that rust does not come

we look at it in its true light, taking tie
causes and effects into consideration. II

Now, we want to throw all prejudice
aside and look al II in lis true light We
generally find that the rust makes lis
appearance about such a time, and that IT
is this extreme hot weather that we have
in the fore part Of July. Now, sir, let it
rain an hour, either fast or slow. then let
the sun shine out as warm as IL generally
does at that season Of the year, and so It

times a day alternately, and at night

roots to send forth nourishment to the

let the night be warm and close, and there

called a honey dew; II sticks to the stalk

stalk, or leaf, which prove to be deadly
poison to wheat, or oats. Now sir, lei

HARDY's AvowAL.-Judge James II. Hardy
in late speech at Plaeeryille, declared that
he would not have supported Douglas had he
received the entire vote Of the whole conven-
ton and yet, some time ago, he told the
editor of the Red Bluff Beacon, in so many
words, that he had done well in raising the
Douglas and Johnson flag, and that the De-
moeracy ought to support Douglas, and that
he (Hardy) did not believe in fighting out
side of the regular organization. Yet the
Breekinridgers would call Hardy a very con
sistent man. Ills consistency is the same as
that of the whole Secession party. Whit is
principle with them?

friend Of all regular Democratic nominees,
Col. J.. T. Freeman, called in on us few

and told us that Tehama county was safe as
far as his section is concerned. He also said
that he had just returned from flying busi-
ness trip to Oroyille and along the entire

PREPARING FOR DIsUNIoN.-The editor of
the Richmond Enquirer, an old Democratic
organ, learns from reliable gentleman, n
resident of Georgia, but well posted on the
canvass now going on in South Carolina, that
the candidates are in every instance made to
pledge themselves in favor of dissolution of
the Union in the event of the election of
Lincoln to the Presidency. He says that, so
far as he can learn, the candidates. without
exception or qualification, are pledging the
State to this dreadful resort as a remedy for
the wrongs Of which they complain They
will regard the election of Lincoln, without
any overt act Of aggression, as sufficient
cause to dissolve their connection with the
Federal Government 1t is believed that the
members elected to the Legislature will be
almost, if not altogether, unanimous in favor
of this movement.

A SOUTHERN COMMERCIAL VIEW OF DlsUN-
foN.-The New Orleans Commercial Bulletin
declares that a breaking up of the Union
"would not only cause the ships to rot at the
levee, and bankruptcy and ruin to follow in
the train of disasters, but the real estate of
New Orleans would not be worth 25 cents
on the dollar to what it now is; cotton would
60 down to such figure that it would not
pay to cultivate it, and the pail of general
stagnation the wings of dreary desolation
would rest upon the land torn by internal
dissentions, and drenched in civil and frater-
nal blood. Mexico is but faint picture of
what our condition would be upon gigan-
tic scale"
Year: 1860

THE EFFEcr.-The effect of the news from
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana must be
great reaction in this State against Breckin-
ridge. His being virtually laid on the shelf
must cause many of his late supporters to
abandon him and go for Douglas as the only
available man. In the South, the reaction
must be still greater. There they have great
interests at stake, and the election of Lincoln
would be a calamity too serious to be lightly
encountered or carelessly risked. The eScuth-
ern masses see full well that Douglas can be
elected, if properly supported by the South
but Breckenridge they know cannot be elec-
ted, by any possibility. lie cannot carry
solitary Northern State. Neither can lie
carry more than a very few of the Southern
States. His chances are so exceedingly hope.
less, that even his best friends must abandon
him, and see that they throw their votes
where they will count.


As for the Bell and Everett men, they will
not at such crisis as this, separate their
votes from those Of the Douglas party The
danger in which the Union is placed will
cause them to unite their strength with the
Douglas and Johnson party, and so make
certain the election of Union-loviDg and
conservative man.

The New YoRKERs AND THE PRINCE. -
The New Workers who proposed to show the
whole world how Give prince should be
entertained, have made failure of it. The
grand triumphal march up Broadway, where
two hundred thousand people had a; sembled

until it became dark, and the populace could,
not tell which was the Prince and which the
Mayor. The excursion about town was rather
a bore, and ruffian insulted and tried to
strike the royal guest. The ball was to have

An eye can threaten Ike the loaded gun

make the heart dance with joy. The eye
obeys exactly the action of the mind.
When thought strikes up, the vision is
fixed, and remains looking at distance; in

as France, Spain, Britain or Germany, the
eyes wink at each new name. There is m

their centres the eyes show it. There are
eyes, to be sure, that give no more admis.

are liquid and deep wells that man might

SILENCE At HoME.-Let parents talk
much and we'll at home. A father who is
habitually silent in bis own house, may be
in many respects, a wise man, but he is not
wise in his silence. We sometimes see

them first provide for their own household.
Ireland exports beef andt wheat, and live
on potatoes aud they fare as poorly who
reserve their social charms for companions
abroad, and keep their dullness for home
consumption. 1t is better TO instruct chill
dren and make them happy at home than it
is to charm strangers or amuse frieds. A 81.
lent house is dull place for young people a
place from which they will escape If they

We print below an. extract from a capi-

the unfortunate or the miserable, turning
from them as something disagreeablc, in
which he has nothing in common, and NO

of the ladder, by untiring perseverance and

must go hunting on election day cheers,
and thus defeat the Democrat who never
