Holding back wheat. --The Lynchburg (Va.) Republican, from information in its possession, fears that the supply of wheat, which is amply abundant in the country, is likely to be withheld from the Government, for the purpose of forcing up prices. It says: We heard of one farmer who refuses to sell at the prices offered by the Government, because he expects wheat to go to ten dollars per bushel. If there was any surely that this would be the case, or any reason to expect it upon the grounds of scarcity and a short supply, the desire to get the highest market price is but natural; but when, in face of the fact that a crop of wheat is made, ample for all the wants of the people and army, the refusal to sell does not seem to us to be conceived in the right spirit.

Ewell: During the hero Jackson's lifetime, Gen. Ewell was wont to remark that Jackson could do the praying and he could do the swearing, and that the two together could whip the devil. After Gen. Ewell lost a leg, the light of the Gospel shed its benign influence over his spirit, and he became a Christian. Under the influence of this new feeling, he found the enemy heavily entrenched at Winchester. He said that he felt averse to exposing his "poor boys" to the deadly slaughter certain to result from an attack on the works. He retired to his tent, and there spent a time in prayer to the throne of Grace. It seemed then, said he afterwards to Gen. Smith, as if a sudden fear got hold of the enemy, and he abandoned his works without a fight. The hand of God is visible in this.
