There is little or no enthusiasm in Texas and there will
be difficulty and delay getting the twenty -four hundred

You need not be surprised learn that Gen. Taylor army

On receiving the news from the frontier, the
House Of Representatives of the State of LOUISIANA
(the Legislature being in session at New Orleans)
Immediately assembled, and in a laudably patriotic
spirit passed by acclamation bill appropriating
one hundred thousand dollars to provide for the in
stantaneous movement of the regiments of Volun-
teers to reinforce the United States Army under
command Of Gen. TAYLOR; which bill, being sent
to the Senate, was unanimously concurred in by
that body.
On this subject without pretending to discuss il we
will content ourselves by refreshing the readers mind by cit

on the Texas treaty. indicating the true state Of the case

TO OUR READERS.

twill be perceived by the foregoing article that
Mr.. LLOYD, late editor Of the Free Press, has re-
tired from the Sanctam. In his retirement, free
from the excitement incident to an editors life, we
heartily hope that he may realize that tranquility
that prosperity, and that happiness, which his
many virtues so richly merit. In his brief con-
nection with this paper, he discharged the arduous
duty of an editor to ourentire acceptance, andwe
regret that his engagements are of such press
ing nature as to compel him to abandon seat he
has occupied with such credit to himself, and sat
islaction to US.
Although the undersigned are much more at
home amongst types and printer ink than amongst
goose-quills and "paper fxings,' they have, after
mature deliberation, concluded to assume the ed
itoral chair of the Free Press. We acknowl-
edge that when take a dispassionate review of the
array of talents and experience which has graced
the editorial department of this paper from its first
issue, we enter upon our editorial labors with DIFF
iidence. If, however, untiring industry can fur
nish sheet acceptable to our readers, it shall be
accomplished.
The Free,Pressw will continue to oppose the reck-
less and disorganizing shemes of Locofocoism
under whatever regime they may present them
selves. Thoughitsphases change withthe moon,
they will endeavor to be prepared to give it
Darm reception at every evolution. We have
"enlisted for the whole war;" and shall never lay
our shooting-StickS aside, until Locofc coism, Span
iellike, is crouching the feet of the people it
has so urrogantly domneered over.
1t will ever be our pleasure to conduct the Free
Press in manner worthy of the cause it sup.
ports. While we advocate the principles of the
Wing party with frmness, and with whatever a.
blllty we may possess, we will endeavor to main
tain the dignity and decorum becoming gentle
men. With this brief statement of the path we
have marked out for ourselves, we have only to
add, that we submit our labors to jury fully
competent to render verdict.

TO the Improvement of the soil-the promulga-

advancement of agricultural interests generally.
The third volume commences on the first of lam

find in the Cultivator the article desired.
We are free to confess, however, that the Gull

SOMETHING WORTH REMEMBERING


MIR. |. Ollie, Of Newark, Ohio, in an interes.
ting article upon the Locust, published in the last
number of the "Ohio Cultivator," makes the fol.
lowing important statement. Our experience in
horticulture does not enable US to give an opinion
upon the facts developed. We have carefully
examined "Downing's Fruit and Fruit Trees Of
America" "Kenrick's New American Orchard
Isl" and other works Of merit on the same SUBJ
ect, but find them silent in reference to this par
dcular point. We therefore lay the matter be-
fore our readers, simply remarking that if the
treatment here recommended does not prevent
the attacks of the locust, it rCiH prevent the at
tacks of other insects, equally destructive, which
visit US annuity, and will greatly promote the
health and vigor Of the tree:
elf thing canbe remembered seventeen years,
the following discovery of my friend Capt. Whit
more OF New Reading, may be deserving of re-
cord. tie states that he planted an orchard of
young apple trees two years ago last spring-that
few days before the appearance of the Iocusts,
he had washed all his trees in strong I've, so
strong that it would float an egg; and although
the locusls Hooked all around andthrough his pre-
misses, they did not touch single tree 50 was he'd;
whilst every thing else that bore green branches,
including an apple tree that had been neglected,
were literally bored and split up by them"
Potash dissolvedin water, or soft soap, reduced
by water to the consistency of paint, will answer
the same purpose. 1t should be applied every
year, in May Or June, with painters brush
The bark of trees treated in this way assumes a
lively hue, indicative of perfect health. 1t is q
successful mode, and only one we know of, of de-
s.roying thenumerousinsects which burrow in the
bark of fruit trees; causing the tree to decay, and
after a Sicky existence of few years, to perish.
Let our farmers once adopt the plan of cultiua-
ting their fruit trees, and the idea that certain
kinds of fruit can no longer be raised to advan-
tage in this region will soon become obsolete.

SWINDLlNG.

We have received from Mr.. NJ. p. BRIsTER,
editor of the "Cadiz Republican," handbill,
cautioning the public against two gentlemen call.
ing themselves d. F. FAGANcE tFLAGLE) and ].
W. HARVEY. ltapPears that these acOrtkies went
to the Office Of the Republican, contracted for the
printing of a set of lottery schemes and tickets,
received part of each for Gas they pretended
the purpose of numbering, promising 10 call in
morning for the remaining schemes and tickets
and foot the bill, and Immediately docamped.-
The lottery was to be drawn at York, in Jefferson
county, where it was stated that the individuals
in question resided, on the Goth inst.
We deem it but justice to the public that we
should say few words more in reference to this
matter. We believe that there is no village call
cd york in Jefferson county, and that both the
above named individuals reside in this county.
From our knowledge Of their circumstances we
feel safe in saying that the capital invested in the
lottery will be found to be as chimerical as Mr..
Bristcrs pay! Is a swindIing concern from the
andif people have no desire to be burnt
they will keep their hands off.
