GEN

Several efforts have been made inaC Congress- to
confer upon Major General Winfield Scott the
rank Of lieutenant General, for his gallant ser
vices in the Mexican war. We do not perceive
the ~propriety of creating this useless title. 1t
cannot add a whit to the reputation of the distin.
guished officer for whom it is proposed, nor do
we believe that he would desire the emmy honor
Of title for its sake alone, and for any real use.
1t is opposed TO the superior intelligence of repub.
licans to imagine that high.sounding names can
give additional lustre TO men.of sterling worth.
From theVery nature of ourjinstitutions, we are
lifted above snch insignificant aids.
Whenever titles are necessary TO distinguish
official posts, let them be conferred, but to estab.
lish these distinctions from aiove Of thenl, per Sc,
is a thug that alfIYise statesmen should sedu-
lousiy avoid |RiacEest Republican.

USrEFs1rY OF V1Ra1N1A, Jan. 6, II

Messrs. EDITORS The subject of Southern
Rights and the aggressions committed by the
North upon us, have attracted much attention
here as elsewhere. On this evening a meeting,
Sarge and enthusiastic, was held, at which the
Constitution of a Southern Rights Association
and an Address TO the young men of the South,
calling upon them TO unite IN the great workso of
Southern equality, were adopted. This move
mentamay be laughed at-we may be calIeda set
of hot,headed boys-but very few Legislative
bodies could show a fnerarray oftalentIhan our
meeting presented; or an ADLER address than has
emanated from some of these hot heads. will
not attempt 10 give-you a sketch of the address,
as shall take an opportunity of sending You a
copy as soon as published. '9s.

inquiry whether the death of the limbs
of the trees in which they deposit their
eggs Is caused by the poisonous nature
of the substance deposited in the inclsion

effect OF the incision, MS contendcd by
DIR. Smith, but have been compelled to
iorego their publication, not having
space for the controversy tina, might be

One of our correspondents has sent MS
number OF twigs on which he has ex-
pcri'nented, by making similar incisions
with n sharp instrument, and at the
close Of two or three days the leav .
were apparently as green and fresh as
ever. Other twgs, with fewer incisions
made by the locust were dead and leaves
yellow and curled, from which the wri-
ter is Of the opinion that the tree is killed
by the poison of the locust's sting, and
concludes rs follows:
"But il is not contended that the To-
Gusts sting as do bees; il is not conten-
ded that the primary object Of their bor-
ing apparatus Is to sting, as is the sting
ing apparatus OF the bee--hence perhaps,
is the infrequency Of their singing but
