NOBLE SESTIMENTs.-In his late speech in

ing language:


To my mind the mere election to the office
of Governor would not of itself be success.
True ambition mounts higher. It is not
satisfied with securing place, but labors
afterwards tc deserve the good opinions of
good people. l would rather never be Gov
ernor than to have it said that as Governor
had failed to meet the just expectation of
the people of this city and of the State.

THE WEEvIL II VIRGINIA WHEAT
The Richmond Examiner of Saturday
says:


We learned, yesterday morning, from
gentleman who has had much ex-
perience in agricultural matters, both
in this State and the North, that
"weevil," one of the most destructive
enemies which TIE wheat plant has met
in the North, has made its appearance
in the wheat fields in the vicinity of
this city.


The gentleman from whom We OBJ
tanned our information yesterdy, thinks
that his own crop has been damaged
fully twenty-five per cent. by weevil
Thus far it has only attacked the for
ward wheat, there being no indication
of it on that sown late. 1t is supposed
that it has been brought here in seed
brought from the North last fall.


This is new enemy to the wheat in
this section of country, not having
been heard Of here before. The only
variety of "weevip known here is an in
sect that attacks corn and wheat when
kept in garners for length of time.
1t is to be deplored that now, when the
prospect for good wheat crop is so
promising, that this enemy should have
made its appearance. We can only hope
that its ravages may be less disastrous
than is now feared.

wsnea In the Fields Of Germany.


From Letter from Austria, published in the


Cleveland Plain Dealer


While riding in the country yester-
day, we saw large numbers of women
hard at work in the fields. One band
Of ltwenty-one were at work in line
and seemed to be planting seeds. They
worked with small hoe, and were be-
ing led on by q man who was ahead of
them with staff in his hand. Ii must
be tiresome 10 the spine; now and then
one would stand erect to get rest, as
they went along; their hands touch the
ground. Everywhere the women do the
harvest work. We saw two pumping
at huge pump to fill sprinkling cart
At other places they were carrying i'm
mense loads of lime in barrel strapped
on their back, and wherever you see q
new building being erected, you
see women making mortar and carrying
the brick and mortar up the scaffolding
to the very top of the works. We also
saw women working with men grading
a railway. They shovel with the long
shovel, and help fill up cart that is
wheeled to the dump by both men and
women; through most all the streets you
see women with heavy loads on their
backs, either in baskets or sort OF tub
made OH purpose.


Yet these working women are ex.
tremely stout, and do believe hat if
ever q war comes between them and the
men, in defense of their rights, pity
the men. Now this is European fash
ion, or style, or custom, that / had bet
ter be q little tender about trying to
introduce. 1t would be we'll to call a
meeting first, have it fairly discussed,
and if the women of Cleveland wish to
adopt this custom, why don't less let EN-
do it. Every day, Sundays excepted, l
see great numbers Of women carrying
home great numbers of white skirts,
(some would say petticoats, but will
not;) these are strung upon cross stick,
carried upon rod, ssarched and tlaun-
ting in the wind, and huge heap, as
white as the snow upon Chamouni, ex-
cept when an artistic and geOmetrical
diagram adOrns the extremity with
some other color. The plan is approved
and should be adopted. First, it don't
muss them, as when you fold them, and
then others can see how you mark
yours, and can pat OH different one.
The method has many advantages, bnt
l think had better not meddle with
the subject further at present.

The Prince Imperial fills u large space
in the French press. The good little boy
is very bright at school, stands guard in
military costume, appears at public gath
erings, and is altogether made much OF,
as becomes the heir to throne which he
is not likely to occupy. The Emperor is
about to buy an estate for him, and is
said to have selected the historic ground
lying between Bourg 10 Refine and
Sceaux, now the property Of the Duke Of
Treviso, for the future residence OF her
son. The house on the estate was built
by Henry w. for Gabrielle d'Estrees
The Emperor is said to have offered the
Duke of Treviso three millions for the es-
tate, but the Duke demands four millions
The other day the Princes tutor, M.
M0unier, resigned his place, and has since
published q serio-comic letter, in which he
says:


at had become impossible for me TO
perform my task as all the preceptors do
in all European courts. / entered the

taken advantage Of the walks, drives and
lours Of recreation to instruct him in

liberal ideas, and place in his heart the
holy fire Of patriotism. You should have
seen the charming compositions he wrote,
in the form Of letters, variations and his
torical essays-so well written, so cor
rectly spelt! How often in the evening,
before the whole court last winter, he
astonished every one by the way in which
he played at historical and geographical
games, showing that he was not only con-
yersant with the dates and names, but
also with the manners, customs, and state
Of progression of all the principal coun-
tries. Everybody was delighted, and told
me so. Who would then have thought
that, three months later, it would be said
that the studies Of the young prince were
neglected, and that the professor, who
considered his education as the work of O
life, would be obliged to quit the palace
basely calumniated, and even forced to
leave Paris to escape from the scene OF so
much deception and bitterness?"

MAGNITUDE OF TIE WESTERN GRAIN TRADE.
The BUFFALO Ccn.pierc;M Adrcrtiser gives
the following facts and figures regarding the
enormous grain trade Of the West, and its
rapid increase:


The unparalleled development Of the West
in population aud production will, in the en-
suing thirty years give trade between the
West and New York equal to upwards Of
$S 900, 100000 to go through the canals when
they shall be made sufficiently capacous Tor
its accommodation. There will be this amount
OF trade aside fcom that by the railways. a
canal boat Of the size now navigating the
Erie Canal, two hundred and fifty tons bur
then, will carry us much as one railway train
of twenty-five cars. From severity to eighty
boats of this class Can be ladened with grain
and dispatched Eas ward in each and every
twenty four hours. If the canals should be
ignored and the entire business now done
upon them should be transferred to the rail
roads it would require four freight trains to
te DISPATCHED daily hy the Gpn'fal and forty
by the Erie, in addition to the business they
are now doing.


HTwcnty-l five years ago the graiu trade of
this citY was between two and three millions
bushels annually. 1t now averages from fifty
to sixty million bushels annually, in addition
t, the flour trade. Tho receipts at this port
of grain in one day last year were upwards
of three million bushels. The receipts OF
grain here ON Monday last were upwards OF
Sayen hundred thousand huahels, besides up
wards Of million of slaves and six million
feet of lumber. Estimating the results of
the future by the past, tue time is not far
distant when the grain trade at this point
will be a huadrcd million bushels annually.
A movement Of sixty million bushels Of grain
by rail would require 6,S57 trains of twenty.
live {lrs each, eIual TO seventeen trains daily,

navigation season Of two hundred days, and

From an editorial in the New York

declarations upon the party issues or
political divisions Of the hour. We

on the supposition that he would suffer
himself to be controlled or cajoled by
the Democratic party Of recent times
will have no occasion to 20 very far
before they fndso out thefr mistake.
And We fancy that those who have been
led 10 entertain the notion that he has
no attachment TO Republican princl.
Piles as set forth authofitatiyely by the
last National Convention, and as ad-
hered to by President Lincoln, will not
need TO live through next year before
