aulteunnrecedenled. There Is no doubl that the Una
crops of the country generally m well as the heavy
sgrlcultural products tn lands lit the West never
before coUiTatedare gUlnga demand for transpor-
tation rarelv ever before known I have just ex-
amined a table said to have been drawn np from
perfectly reliable data showing that the crop of
wheal this year la tbe United States is about flftj
millions of huahels greater than It was last year
This Is undoubtedly one of the most Important crops
of the cjantry and If other crops have increased
anywhere i car the same proportion it is plain tbat
uttr railroad mest bare a 1 much as they can do and
will realize corresponding profits a well as our
shipping Tbe lab e to which I bar alluded shows
a gradual increase In lbewbeat crop fh)tn about 85
millions of bushels lo 1840 to 185 millions lo 1855
The great increase during the present year is partly
owing to ihe fact that thU crop Is "now raised by
many farmers In Ibe Eastern Slates as well as plan
ters In the South who "have never before cultivated
IL I have found this to be tbe case from my own ob
servation I have beCusce acquainted with Instan
ces of very good en ps of wheal being made on ihe
worn out lands of this State by the ue of guano;
and I am informed both here and at the North that
guano Is found amostetcel enl fertlHzerto n store
exhausted lands and thai It may be Uted with great
profit by our farmers. By tbe way speaking or
wheat remind me of a statement of a crop made
by Ibe Rev James Smith) and reported lo the Dallas
Ileratd and coplel lots tbe Weekly News Of the
SOth ulL I hare compared this statement with
another crop of wheat made in Illinois bv another
c ergyman. As the two statements apparently made
by equally good authority may serve to show tne
th relative advantages of Texas and Illinois as
wheal countries I will here give them both as briefly
as possible
Rev. John S Bargerwja he cultivated 300 acres
of wheal directly oo tb4 Illinois Central Railroad
and procured from It 4(123 46-60 bushels of wheat
the firBi season being a fraction under 15 bushels
per acre lie oldvtbo wheat for one djllsr per
bushel and therefore realized $142352. From
this he deducts tbe a-tual expenses namely for
ploughing $800 seed'$325 for seeding S230 bar
vesting threshing ssckfng aid delivering at tbe
Clinton depot $1 C5Q making the t ital expenses
$2723 and leaviD a oett Income of $1700 on an
expenditure of $273 1 1 leave oat of thlseitmale
lie cjstof ilielandandfencingin order to makelhe
comparison perfect lnamuchas3Ir Smith cultiva-
ted a leased farm and I presume did not have it lo
fence It will be seen that tbo Illinois farm yielded
an Incomv of C2 per cent profit on tbe amount ex-
pended In cultivating and harvesting This is cer-
tainly a very favorable showing for Illinois now for
Texas Rev. Mr SmUh ? he cultivated 47 acres
whcu produce'! 1075 busLettt v whrfat Ibfe bfllog
about 33 bushels to the acre and he sold It for
$1612 50. His expenses of cultivating harvesting
fceu he ennmera.es aa follows: for plowing and sow
ing 575 50 forseed$7 for reaping and binding
$94 for hauling and lending thresher $125 for
threshing $161 37tf and delivering at the mill $50
making in all the sum of SjiQ37 of expenses
which bein: dedncted from the proceeds of sale
leaves 1042 12Xfts tbe nett income and this will
be found to be over 184 per cent on the nmoant ex
pended exclusive of rent which was S2 50 per acre
This we have lo leave out ts we left out tbe cost of
the land und fencing n Ihe former case so as to
make the comparison just. It may be readily In
ferred from this that the northern portion ot Texas
where this crop was made la not easily beat for
wheat and lhat Illinois must yield tbe palm I said
above tbat the great Increase in tbe wheat crop this
vear. Is oartlv owing to Ihe larger amount nlanted n
the old Slates Bnt there is no doubt that this? in

1 scarcely made atay enough In rhllaaelph'a and
Baltimore to note anything of Interest. I will bow-
ever remark for tha benefit of travelers on this line
from New York lo Philadelphia that tbey should
never permit n person who nska them for tbelr bag
gage checks white in tbe cars to have them. If they
wish to avoid being swindled In a small way. It ap
pears that some baekman has permission from the
Company logo through all the cars some twenty
miles before Ibey arrive at Camden asking all Ihe
passengers for their checks and promising to have
their baggage attended lo and safely delivered at any
place In Philadelphia. Many passengers as well as
myself desirous to avoid the confusion and annoy-
ance of hackmen at the depot gave tbelr checkslo
this man. But tbe consequence was tbat I bad to
pay $1 75 to get to a hotel with my baggage while
any baekman at tho depot would fcave done the
same service for $1- This speculation only
amounts to 75 cents per passenger it is true but
when it is recollected thai the same baekman makes
this sum off perhaps two or three bnndred per
sons every day the operation will be seen to be
pretty profitable. Il Is but reasonable to suppose
that the baekman Is but the instrument of this spec
ulation la the hands of others and tbe Company
lieelf should be held responsible for this petty swin
dling for giving admisIon Into the can of one hack
man to the exclusion of all others aad thereby se
curing to him a monopoly as well a& enabling him
to exBcl this exlra charge. By tbe way I should
think Ihe ownersof this railroad through New Jersey
have sins enough to answer for In the two most dis-
astrous accidents that have ever happened In this
country without giving encouragement lo Ibis im
position on Ibe public; These accidents have satis-
fled the public tbal there Is wretched mansgement
on this road TbA Company are no doubt deriring
a large revenue from U as it connects tbe two larg
est cities in the Union and the travel on it is very
large Bat Ihe Company Lad to pay a bonus to tbe
liltla State of New Jersey to get the Charter i:

ing the rn-id u is usually tbe casa.. This bonus It is
said required a large proportion of their shares
but besides this they have to pay a Capitation tar.
of two cents on every passenger. I have been In-
formed that 3hls source of revenue meets the en-
lire expenses of Ibat State and that the people have
In consequence been relieved from taxation. In
other words we the citizens of other States are
taxed for every transit we make across it In spite of
the constitutional prohibition against collecting rev-
enue by such means A paper before me says that
several attempts have been made to bring this qu-
lion before the Federal Courts but unsuccessfully.

Mules Mr Hooper advertises a pair of mules
for sale In anther column which we believe are
not surpassed In the Slate.
On the subject of mules De Bow's Review has an
article which planters would do well to read The
writer takes the ground that mules are cheaper than
horses aod much superior as draft animals Tbe
mule Urea nearly or quite twice as long as the horse
will do more work on coarser fare and is not so
easily chafed or trilled The objection lo the mule
Is Its slowoees but it la urged that proper care In the
breeding and training will obviate this difficulty
Some years agn we rode In company with a gentle-
manln Eastern Texas who was mounted on a mule
that walked at tbe rata of Ave miles an hour and
If pushed exceeding tbat rate. Pacing mules of
greater speed ar to be found although they are rare.
Mules tbat wilt travel eight miles an hour lu harness
should meet the wtbeB of most travelers and this
rate and often more Is attained by good mules.
Tbe Tut bones are tbe result not only of attention to
tbe breed but also of careful training and tbe same
pains bestowed ou the mule would bring It still
nearer perfection an we do not deem it Impossible
for the muto to come up to the lima ot fast trotting
nags.
There is however a prejudice against the mule
and because it Is is hardy and strong It baa uniform
tybeen treated roughly.- It already Is preferred by
Intelligent planters for draft purpoMSand we see no
reason why il may not be made equally preferable
for Ibe carrlsge or tbe saddle.

The Election.
The elections in Maryland Fonnsjlvaaia and
UMj took placeon tho 9 h Inst. From two of thee
State we bad telegraphic despatches on Tnesjiy
last. In Ohio Slate racers and Legislature were
chosen. The Gubernatorial camltlstes were Cbye
Republican ; Trimble Whig an 1 Mlill Democrat.
Tbe success uf Chsss was const J ti de ot!ent on
whether the Know Nothing vo waaglvr him In
part or wholly to Trimble. Tbe latest Je patch say
Trimble had received a larger ole Ihan was expec-
ted and therefore Medlll's (demterat) chance
were thought to be better.
In Pennsylvania a Canal Commissioner State Le
gislature and County ofll-ers were; chosen. Tbe
contest was between tbe Demoerats'and Republi-

graphic report hsve triumphed.
In Maryland like all the other Southern States

Woborocb b?EoTzMxaT FiEE-AEXs. Msjor
Jacob of tbe Bombay Artillery Ihe wt known com
manda&S of ihe Sclnde irregular horse bas brought
to perfection some remarkable Improvements ia
fir arms and has mad public the results of bis ex-
periments. One missile which he call th percuss-
ion rfia shell ts ihe most formidablo ever invented
by man Tbe shape of the ball is Been that Its velo-
city after s fi ght of 1200 yards. Is but very little re
daced and 3IsJ r Jacob declares that Jadging from
th practice at Jacobabed two riflemen so armed
could to tea minutes annlbliat the best field battery
of artillery now existing.1 The experiments on
rifled cannoe are not lese remarkable and those
who treated CapU Warner's long range ol three or
four miles with tldieulei will be sorprfced lo reed
the following declaration from MJ-jt Jacob who
ajs Ja'gtng from txpenmenis made a an old
artillery officer as wn aa a r flemae and practical
mechanic. I am deliberately of opinion tbal a four
grooved rfl Iron gun of a bore four Icuhesladl-
ameier wefghtog not loss than twenty-four bendred
weight could bo made to throw a hotta d a-aoce
f ten mites and more with force and accuracy."
Taking the diaUne even atone-half or five-miles
tbts is a range far beyond whaTtsnow aUaioed.
When we consider that Msjor Jacob's experiments
have been carried nnat bl own expense dannga
period of thirty years anoTtbat be iaa eunof scien-
tifle knowledge aad mechanical Ingenuity as well as
a zealou and patriotic soldier we wonder tbat his
proposed Improvements In rifle practice have not at
once commanded Ibe attention of the government.
H saj that fifty thousand EogUeh soldiers trained
aod armed according to hi plan would be a matctr
tor tbe world Is arms snd that tbe army which
first ad ipts these weapons would hereby obtain an
advantage equal to that of tbe exclusive possession
oi fire-arms a century ago. Il Is to b regreUed thai
.Major Jacob baa punished hi submenu oa rifle
practice. Jbe Raiao sutborhtes are sure to take
advantage of tbe valuable laformatleo Ber afforded
and lo follow if Dot improve upon tbe detailed dl-
red on formaoufaciuriogtbe weapons Our own
government might set have ibestaiiof any other
but under tb present system there s every Ilkefi-
