THE ARMY Worms are said TO have ap-
peared in some parts of New Jersey, in i'm
mense numbers, carrying destruction before
them. They are in countless millions, and
as much dreaded as Napoleon's army, and
their path is as bare as the road. The farm
ers have attempted to en,rench against them
by digging bitches around their fields, bu,
all to no purpose; they soon fill up and then
pass over. Mr.. Isaac Crater, an extensive
farmer, who has had nearly all his grain de-
ssroyed by them, says tina. they DESTROYED a
twelve acre field of his, afier it lay in swa,h,
in one night; that if he should try he could
not gather one bushel. Hon. Henry HilIard.
of Morris county, says that from some Of
his large fields he will not get single bush.

parts Of Long Island this insec. has been
equally destructive. A letter from South.

have been utterly destroyed by them. An
instance is recorded where field of 500
bushels of fine oats was entirely ruined five
days after The insect appeared, nothing be-
ing left but the bare straw. The berry was
not eaten, but the stem which supports il
was bitten of.

GUANo.- The Rockville Journal says that the
low price of wheat, and the decline in the price of
corn and other produce, will have the effect of con-
siderably lessening the use of guano for fall seed
ing, unless there be corresponding fall in the price
of tnat article. Wheat at 85a90 cents per bushel,
corn at SO cents and potatoes at SO cents, will
hardly justify the farmer in giving s44 per ton for
guano. The fact is, the price must come down,
or farmers must substitute something for t-for
the result has been sufficiently tested, that when
we have to hire labor. however small, and paw the
price of guano as it has been selling, and wheat
bringing less than 81 per bushel, the outlay will
be gre alter than the income.

A DlSGRACEFUL SCENE IN THE HOUSE
... OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
1t is manifest that spirit of roscdyim is rife
among certain members of the U. S. House of
Representatives, as the following report of the
proceedings, which took place on the 24th instant,
will shows
The House went into Committee of the Whole
on the state of the Union and took up the Light
House bill.
Mr.. Polk took the floor and began an anti-scott
speech, in the course of which he said that at the
Baltimore Wing Convention men from Kentucky,
Tennessee, and Virginia, sold and BETRAYED the
South and made some alluson to Senator Jones
and to his colleague, (Mr. Collom,) and said the
latter could answer for this
Mr.. COLON pronounced the insinuation eratui-
tous, unfounded, untruthful and utterly false.
Mr. Polk repeated what he had said, and fur
Their that his colleague had lied in speech de.
livered at the City Hall, about Pierce fainting.
MIR. COLON said If his ceague insinuated that
he had made false representation, he was liar
Mr.. Polk then proceeded to show that Cen
Scott is not all his friends claim for him, and said
history would show it E; and called him a maqnif
cent humbug, vain, and malicious. He smoke :.
bout Santa Anna and Scott in disgraceful con
nexion. This called up
Mr.. White, of Kentucky, who asked Mr.. Poll
whether he could produce no other facts tina,
those sustained by or resting upon graveyard ties

MIR. Polk said he could prove it. TSome ex
citement was here manifested all over the hall
He had learned that the gentleman from Kentuc
ky was to be ptted against him and to assail him
and he would say to the gentleman that KNOWN,
the rules which govern honor, he could seek salts

Mr.. White-The gentleman says he understood,
l was to be pitted against him. I say it is false
Whenever my honor is assailed know the mod
ofredress.
MIR. Polk-For fear of misunderstanding,
tell the gentleman he is liar.
The excitement at this point was intense.
Mr.. Chandler pronounced the proceedings dis
graceful, and moved that the Committee rise bu
the confusion abated somewhat, when
MIR. Polk resumed and spoke further apans

There was a gradual advance in New York on

Monday still further Improvement. The N. Y.

an American he blushed for the conduct of his
colleague, and advised him to keep his seat and
conduct himself with dignity.
The Committee renewed its session, and pro-
ceeded to act upon amendments offered to the bill
After long debate, extending to six O'Clock,
all the amendments made in Committee of the
Whole were agreed to, and others then added
while many were also rejected. The bill was
then ordered to be engrossed.

TOBACCO CRops IN THE WEsT-The Louisville
Courier states that the Tobacco crops continue to
look upfayarahle f,.--~.. yteTu. the early
rosts having made the season late for transplant
ing, and the recent favorable weather setting in
too late to revive the plants. In consequence of
the anticipated falling of of the growing crops,
prices have materially advanced, and buyers have
entered the market more freely. In very many
instances Tobacco that was purchased in the
spring has recently been resod at a profit of $40
to s25 per hid, and some at $50, and we have
even heard of sales at an advance Of S75 per hid.
By telegraphic despatch from GAINESVILLE,
Tenn, we learn that there has been no rain of
consequence in that region for several weeks, and
the prospects for Tobacco are very gloomy. A
gentleman just returned from the ssBarrens' and
Green River districts, Kentucky, states that the
Tobacco is very backward, and no rain had fallen
for some time, and the crops would undoubtedly
be small.

Consolidation,

sN
The First and Third Municipalities have pro.
tested against Consolidation with Lafayette
The First has protested by u majority of one
which is a very fair showing of liberality. The
Third has protested by 1--WE think) full vote
of the entire members-which is q very fair
showing of illeberality In neither protest is
any good reason for the exclusion of Lafayette
shown-both are based upon grounds exclusively
sectional; and therefore calculated to diseredt
any plan of Consolidation which they may pro-
pose. While Lafayette is not to be admitted,
unless upon the political and sectional grounds
heretofore alluded to by the Delta, is an enigma
to us. We cannot believe, we will not believe,
purely selfish and sectional grounds are operat-
ing in the premises. We yet hope that the cit-
zens at large of our common port of entry, La
fayette being portion of the same, will cast
their votes upon grounds entirely sectional if not
political. Some of the most intelligent of the
citizens Of the First and Third Municipalities
have declared to us their determination to stand
by plan of Consolidation including the three
Municipalities and Lafayette. We believe them
to be sincere-we believe them to represent the
public sentiment of their Municipalities
believe that the old prejudices of the rival
Municipalities have passed away like the morn
ing mist. We believe that a perfect Consolida-
tion-a perfect unity of credit and energies will
relieve the city Of New Orleans from its present
embarrassments. Nothing else will

successful, it will meet the views of d large por-
ton Of our citizens-un Consolidation
will be opprobrious, positively odious, to Il large
portion Of our citizens. 1fthe Legislature chooses
to pass a bill Of Consolidation, we distinctly
claim the right of the citizens of the Second Nr-
nicipality. and of the First, and of the Third to
vote separately upon the proposition offered to
them. Any other course of conduct upon the
part of the Legislature would be in direct viola
ton Of the chartered rights, and would Justly
incur the censure of every independent citizen.
Messrs Robb and Benjamin have great infu-
enee, but if the Legislature allow them to put

dictation, in their pockets, we have but to say,
Good night to NewOrleans-all hail to discounts

The conduct of Messrs. Robb and BENJAMIN

he was the U. $. Senator, and the other because
he held the bondholders purse.
