Harrowing Wheat In the Spring. { A good harrowing dl a wheat field'at > the proper «'easoa r iu the spring, when the 1 ground is just dryj enough, has been found, from repeated.practice equal to a goodj working of a field of corn, with (he best' plow or cultivate!-. In England a good' hoeing and weeding of the wheat crop isfound of so thucli importance that many of the farmers "dibble in-' their seed so as"to have the plants comeup in perfect rows, m order.to afford the greatest facilities for the operation; In onr.country labor is too dear jto admit of ibis kind of planting. Indeed there is no need of it. Our mechanics have so perfected the wheat drill that (he may bo put hi with al* most the same dehreo of accoracv that the

jBoT.Tlw Madison Courier says, tliat tlio Independent Madison and* Cincinnati Packet Company are talking of building a fine side-wheel boat to take the place of the Kale French, in time for the Fall trade. r Wc hope they- will do it. ■ The- Kale ia now the best and safest boat in the trade, bptsbois too small, and not quite fast enough for tbc present day, when everybody wants to be put through , "on .the fast^ine. 1 ’ We are pleased to learn that the Kate is'still ’‘ gaining fnyor with-the public..

Public feeling has been considerably agitated—not : to fay excited—by recent publications in reference to a conlrovcisyl now going on between one of our large! assorting bouses and several Branches of the Bask or tae State of Isdusa. The main point at issue is, whether the Bank has the legal and constitutional right to redeem its. issues, in any or all amounts as presented,"in silver instead of gold? and this question in voices matters of much greater importance Ulan many would suppose, without study and reflection. The new coinage of silver,'it is well known, is largely adulterated, which very objectionable act of Government is, of itself, calculated to seriously impair the obligations'of contracts, and interfere with the justice of general business transactions. The new silver-is, it we are correctly informed, at + of 1 per cent, discount' in Bank at New York. Hence, it is easy to see why oar 'assorting houses, dealing largely in Exchange, refuse tho silver, and are determined to contest tbs matter to the last legal extreme; they cannot make Eastern exchange with tho silver, at rates profitable to them selves, or reasonable to their customers. At* present, the cate stands thus: A large amonht of bills able at the South Bend Branch, are now in the hands of an able and fearless attorney; who is. instructed to collect in ffofd or protest'the bills, and proceed to put the Bank in liquidationjlegnl redemption has been onre refused, and if presisted in. proceedings will forth with, be commenced in the proper Contis!' Several other Branches are in about (he tame position, anti the probability is, that they will all t-nfiVr protest, after, which the bills bear interestj, at the rate of 12 per cent, pur cimnm. The Lawreuceburg Branch undertook to fight off the assorts rs, and a largo amount of bills were actually returned under seal and protest; but n.fcw doys after, were (a ; . ken up at the flssoVier’s Banking House, In gold,"as demanded, Tliu Bjauch backed' squarely duwti; bnt has since brought suit against the Notary forproirstiiig its bills ! Indeed, a general Bysteul of bribery and intimidation appears .to have been re.-orted to by the Briinches; no that it is in matter of great |1 i IB cutty to proeuro the (services of competent atibrncys to protest ami prosecute these cates. No IcL-s than eight or-len notaries refused to.protest the cases non: in the bandit ‘of 1 Sir. Burnout, of Indianapolis. , [ , What is to.be tho result of all this ? It is a question In which tho business public, of Ohio and are deeply interThe very fact of such a controversy being on foot,, is eaknloted to damage the character of the Bank, and public confidence therein; instances hare already occurred in this.city, of intelligent men getting clear of bills of tho Bank of the State of Indiana in a Hurry, if not at a discount 1 Expeiieuco.has taught tho people that they ate generally the sufferers, whatever may bo the legal rights of the contestants. We dto not the defenders or apologists of assorting Brokers.- Our;readers will bear witness that welfare among the first who strenuously denounced the systemised arrangements for “running'* on the Banks of Kentucky and Indiana, entered into by tbc infamous and unprincipled Trust Company meuf In connection with tbc State Bank of Ohio; and also, of the assorting practice, during the extraordinary pressure of the lute panic. ' Nevertheless the rights of assorting hankers are as important to be maintained as-thdre of any other members of community; and under present circumstances if will be'difficult to prove that tho interests of the busincss'ccra 1 munity, and the public generally, are made to suffer by the practice of-assort-iug houses. In their Way, they are as useful to the general public, as the generality of Banks, and (heir profits quite as legitimate. It Is a biistake to suppose that the interests of Banks are always identical with those of the community at, large, The Bank of the State of Indiana, is a strong institution—all Corporations are strong in their, peculiar way: “It is great to have a giant’s strength 1 But tyrannous to use il aa q Giant.”
