INSECTS Destructive TO PEACH TREES
Among other things which blight the prospects
of peach growers is a small, green grasshopper,
that lives upon the leaves, eating small round
holes, from August to the first heavy frost.
They commence cricket-like noise soon after
sunset, and continue through the night.
The female punctures the young bark with a
sting, like locust and deposits small trans
parent egg of an oblong shape, and closes the
orihce with kind Of gum from her mouth.
These eggs hatch out in April leaving hole
from which the peach gum exudcs, and small
dead spot under the bark. The grub is a small
white worm, somewhat resembling the common
peach worm, only much smaller. Is it possible
this can be the cause of the yellows in peach
trees7 1t is subject worthy of investigation.

NicARAcuA.-The New York Tribune,
referring to the narrative furnished by Mr..
j. Cavalry Hall to the New Orleans Picay-
une, says:
We had some conversation yesterday with
Mr.. l.. M Wolcott and Mr. Brownel, who
came passengers in the Prometheus, which
left San Juan two davs after the Mexico,
Mr.. Wolcott came through the country from
Realejo, and remained some time in Grenada.
From these gentlemen we learn that the
story published in the Picayune is almost en-
tirely false No change whatever has come
over the inhabitants of Nicaragua in regard
to the Americans. The country is quiet,
and the Americans residing there are unmo-
Tested. The story that fifteen of our coun-
trymen had been murdered within twenty
FIVE days, on the road from Realejo to San
Juan, is totally false. The only person mur-
dered, was Mr.. A. G. Maynard, who was
engaged in the transportation line between
Grenada and Realelo He was attacked by
four persons, and killed, IN consequence, as
was generally supposed, of some injury he
had given them. Instead Of the Nicaraguar
authorities refusing redress, three of the mur.
derers were taken, tried at Masagua, ant
condemned to be shot When Mr. Wolcot
left, the officers were on the hunt of the fourtl
: offender
The name Of the person who was attacke,
on the road, and left for dead, was Williams
and not Mooney, as Mr. Hall states. HI
was crossing the country alone, in carreta
when he was set upon by SIX robbers, VIII
gave him eighteen lance wounds, plupdere
him, and left him in the road. lie was take
to Grenada, where he was treated with tn
utmost kindness by the natives, and so ia
restored that he was enabled to reach Sa
Juan in time to take passage in the Prone
theus lie reached tits city on Friday last
: These are the only outrages which bav
lately occurred in Nicaragua, aud they ar
more than counterbalsnced by the exceese
which have been committed by returning
Caiornlans, on their passage through th'
country.
, Both the government and the people o
Nicaragua are now, as they nave Away
! bcEn, bitterly hostile to British influence, OF
account ot the Mosquito affair On ths
other hand, there is the greatest good feeling
towards the Americans, which ths govern

SATURDAY, APRIL 26. 1851,

rsy- We suppose we shall have to excuse the
sdtor of the Union from any further efforts in
defence of the Compromise. After the signal
failures of Messrs. WEBSTER and CLAY, in that
respect, it would be cruelty of which we are
utterly incapable, to require any Southern man
TO PERSIST in so forlorn an enterprise.
The editor of the Union speaks of us as one
who agravey asserts that the Compromise places
the South out of the Union" We have not as
serted that, but something worse, that the South
is kept in the Union for its burthens and kept
out from its benefits. Now we think the Union
is very good thing, if its benefits and burthens
are equally adjusted-but very bad thng--a
moustrous thing, if its benefits allotted to one
section and its burthens to another, especially
bad to the latter 1t suits the views, for want
of argument ofour opponentsto to impute to us
love of disunion per &c. Well, they are rendering
the cause of Union so odious that the imputa-
ton is rapidly becoming innoxious.
The editor of the Union claims that as 'slave-
holder Of fifty years experience he understands
the causes which affect the value of this species
of property much .better than we' "who never
owned slaye and most probably never will.
II must be confessed that the course OF many
shareholders of long experince is not calculated
to render such property desirable. But he is
much mistaken if he supposes that our main OBJ
iect is to affect the value ofslave property. We
tatter ourselves that our purpose is more impor-
tant-more sacred We are for preserving the
integrity of the Constitution we are for main
tanning "that faith which binds the moral ele-
ments' of the States, of the world together
We are for preserving both races from conflict,
from determination We are for defending the
system of Southern civilization, the highest ever
yet achieved, from ruin
The senior editor of this paper having lived
the greatest part of his life on the line that d.
vides the two sections, has had his share of op-
portunities to observe the character and tendency
of the institutions of both, and thinks he is as
eligible to decide in cases of conflict as any
stakeholder "of fifty years experience" He
processes to be al impartial and to be as ready
to resist an aggression of the South against the
North, as of the North against the South.
