THE LOCIJSTS.

The seventeen-year Locusts have made
their appearance in this region. The fol-
lowing brief description of the appear
ance of the insects above ground. and of
its transition to the winged Locust, con-
tributed to the Baltimore American by
DIR. Smith. is accurate and interesting:
"When they come up from the earth
always about daylight or little before
they Immediately climb the first object
they meet with. tree. bush, stake,
any thing two or three feet high. They
then lay hold of the bark, fixing them
selves firmly by their claws, and com
mence working themselves out Of their
old she'll, which is done BIZ rup,uring it
upon the back between the shoulders. and
drawing themselves out. AS soon as
they get fairly out, they seize hold of the
old she'll with their claws. raise them
selves, and begin to expand their wings.
Their bodies and wings at this time are
exceedingly delicate, white, moist; but a
few minutes exposure to the air dries and
hardens them, so that by the time the
sun has fairly risen they are perfect and
can fly. The wings before sloughing, are
beautifully folded up, and is beautiful
sight 10 see them unfold and in few
minutes changed from the most soft and
delicate tissue TO the firm and rigid wing
of the perfect insect. If it be wet or
very cloudy day, they are apt to perish
in the opera ton of sloughing and drying.
From our exchanges we learn that their
appearance is general throughout the
State.

Revolutionary Feeling in Cuba.
Spanish Opinions.

The Savannah Republican has some
translatioas of extracts from Spanish
letters from Havana, received by the Is
abella. They come by private hands
After vouching for the entire truth of its
assertions one dated the 9Th inst. says:
Hourly, nay infinitely have we been
anxiously awaiting to hear the joyful I'll
dings of your being landed on the isle, or
at least on your way. Do not believe
for moment the rumors that you will
receive no aid here on the island. Many
Spanish officers and soldiers, indie pendea mt
of the Creoles, will join the patriots as
soon as they land; and could |, without
endangering the lives of many of my
friends here, would give the names Of
some Of the most influential and wealthy
planters on the isle who have pledged
their lives, fortunes. and sacred honor In
the contest-such names as would make
the throne of her Majesty trem6le. The
day will come, and that. too ere long
when Cuba 1ciH yet be fee! But still |
fear for our friends here, for God knows
if the least suspicion is thrown out, they
will suffer and that terribly.
A CUBAN HERo.-Montes de Oca, the
young Cuban. recently executed at Ha-
wanna, for attempting TO bride pilot to
assist Lopez in his invasion of that
island, died like hero. A letter to the
Savannah Republican says:
Previous TO his execution, the Captain
General Concha gave him nine days TO
denounce all patriots on the island, and
promised him his liberty and large sum
of money-but he nobly replied that he
would sooner die thousand deaths than
denounce his friends; for, said he, Cuba
will be free. and after generations will
shed tear to the memory of one who fell
in behalf of his country, and our friends
III the United States will not know that
Cuba has thousands who will perish by
the gaErote rather than live in bondage.

RAIL RoAD-The fine rise in the river
has enabled boats to get up with large
quantity of iron for the rail road. There
is more on the way. and expected here
every day. A great number of car wheels
have also arrived Two tenders for the
locomotives will be along in day or two.
The iron is being hauled from the river to
the road. and we understand the work of
laying it down will be commenced in a
very short time. Carpenters are busiy
engaged in putting up car house. and
every thing indicates that this end of the
line is going ahead with despatch.
