Mr. Ayres, one of your subscribers inform

in keeping the yellow striped bug from his

moistened with the mixture of assafGtda
near every hill. This remedy deserves a tri-
al, since it is of easy application, and was en-
tirely successful.
Having frequently watched these bugs,
thought discovered that their biting appa-
ratus must be very tender for they always
avoid that part of the plant which is covered
with sand or dust; and consequently taking
the hint, | succeeded in protecting my plants
by sprinkling dust on them when moistened

the yellow bug bnt all others, as well as ca

the feed they wanted, seemed to hunt as
much for fun as for luxury, without doing
even the slightest injury TO the plants.
In Europe the English goosebcrry bushes
and others are often attacked by a green
bare-skin caterpillar (geometer brumata y
that destroys the leaves early in the spring :;
and frequently the bushes die in consequence
of it, or lose their fruit Several remedies
proposed were not successiul-ior instance,
sulphur and othcrs-and though sometimes
efficient in killing the caterpillars, killed the
bushes, too so that there was not much diff
ference between the remedy and the evil.
| noticed that the caterpilars when COM
ing in contact with sand, exhibited symptoms
of distress and pain, and considered the cause
to be the crystalline form of the latter acting
painfully on the bare skin of the former. En-
periments confirmed this view, and sugges-
ted at the same time the remedy, which con-
sisted in spreading sheets under the bushes
and showerng them with dried sand. Such
a tumbling was seldom Witnessed Every
small particle of sand seemed to act like a
streak of tightening, The collected ca;erpil-

From the N. o. Crescent, June l2.
From Vera Cruz.

We are in receipt of files the Free Ame-
rican to the Sd inst, by the U. S. transport
ship American, Capt. Stuart, which left Vera
Cruz on the 4th inst, and arrived at the Ba.
lie in six days
YucATAN.--It is with pleasure that we
witness that our countrymen in Vera Cruz are
taking the necessary steps to give timely aid
TO the unfortunate sufferers of Iucatan. Capt.
Taylor, of the Twiggs Rifemen, aud Capt.
Tenbrink, ex-sherif of Vera Cruz and exist
Lieutenant i'll that company of Louisiana bows
commanded BY Capt. Blanchard at Monterey
and at the bombardment of this city, have
taken the initiative step, and ask for men
who wish TO follow iheirexample. We have
no doubt that their efforts will be crowned
with success, and that in few days four
hundred noble hearts will have offered their
blood for the relief of the imploring families
who are menaced by the dreadful knife of
the blood-,hrsty savages.
On the 1st inst, the civil authority of the
city of Vera Cruz was delivered to the Mexi-
cans We extract the following items from
the Free American:
The civil authority was given up TO the
MeNicans yesterday. The ''Star Spangled
Banner" however, still waves proudly over
the city and castle, and under its patcrnal
protection we still breathe the air of liberty.
Ere this, the civil authority has also been
turned over TO the Mexicans i'll the city of
Mexico, and in several other places captured
by our soldiers.
Capt. Tuylor, Of the Triggs RWemen.-
This officer and twenty-five of his men came
through from Jalapa distance 10 milcs) in II
hours, as an escort TO Major Graham, bearer
of the ratified treaty. This, we believe, is
the quickest time ever made on this road
without change of horses. Taylor and his
Twiggs Rifemen always ''crowd the mour-
ners' in whatever duty they may be put upon.

10 one of these principles, the people of
the North are called ON to assent, and thus to
make themselves responsible for the extern
sion OF slavery. And tits now assumed, tha,
one of thes, principles is a part of the plat
form OF the great Democratic party of the
Union and it is clear that no candidate
would have been nominated by the late Con-
ventions who did not subscribe to it, Faith
in slavery is part of the creed of Democracy !!
What may we expect next! There is moth
ing left, unless it be that slavery was to be
carried into the free States.
A portion of the Democracy of New York
have made stand against these startling
pretcnsions. Their position is responsible
one-they are TO act not only for New York,
but for all the free States and the Union it.
self Have they firmness enough and self
sacrificing patriotism sufficient, to meet such
crisis! If they have, they will triumph in
the end for Free Principles and the Spirit of
Liberty only want an open field and fair fight
to ensure them a victory. But if they Weld,
after having made stand there will be no
checks TO the advance of the slave power for
long period, if ever; and should resistance
ever come: it might prove dangerous to the
Union.
From present indications, the Wings of
the North are about to compromise their pro-
essed principles on this subject; they seem
prepared to make any sacrifices for the ac-
QUESTION of power; what is to be the effect
of this course, upon the integrity and union of
that party remains TO be seen
The Democratic party can only be sustain
ed upon principles of humanity, justice and
liberty, which are in harmony with the en-
ightemed and liberal spirit of the age. And
any attempt to build it up upon any other
platform, must inevitably lead TO its over
throw, or dismemberment, followed by It's
reorganization on a more just and solid basis
With sentiments of much respect,
am truly yours,
