THE He.sinn Fly.

Wc alluded last week to the ravages of the fly
upon the Wheat cropoi this county. Since then,
we learn that its depredations are more general
and destructive than wehad supposed. 1t attacks
every variety Of wheat, some of which, as the
Mediterranean, have in great measure escapee
heretofore. Our readers may be interested In the
following account of the fly, taken from the Ab-
stract of the Seventh Census:
In l776, there was entailed upon this country
an enduring calamity, in consequence OF the intro
duction of the Nessian or wheat fly, which was
supposed to have been brought fforn Germany in
some straw employed in the debarkation Of Howe's
troops, on the west end of Long Island. From
that point this insect gradually spread in various
directions, at the rate of twenty or thirty miles
year, and the wheat of the entire regions east Of
the AlleghaRes is now more or less infested with
the Larvae, as well as in large portions Of the States
bordering on tho Ohio and Mississippi, and on the
great lakes; and so great have been the ravages
OF these insects that, the cultivation Of this grain
in many places, has been abandoned.

Henry 4. Wise.

This gentleman has not yet received an ap3IRt--
ment from President PIERCE, and the probability
is that he will be entirely passed over. Strong
onnosition is made to him at the North on account
of his participation in the dnel between GRAVES OF
Kentucky and CILLEY of Maine, some years ago,
in which the latter was killed. WISE acted as
Graves second, aud is said to have urged on his
principal to the repeated firing, until ClLLEY re-
ceiyed mortal wound. A Philadelphia paper
says
Jonathan Cilley and Franklin Pierce were warm
friends. Coming from adjacent States, with
warm political and personal sympathies, and at
tached to one another by various associations, the
President is known to have mourued bitterly over
the murder of his noble associate. The minutest
circumstances of that murder can never be forgot
ten by him. and is it likely that he would select
for his Minister to France any man who was even
remotely connected with the death of his friend
Is it srobabe that he would so outrage the feel
mos of New England as to select for honorS
man that had any thing to do with the death of
n noble soa of New England, sacrificed to the
code of false honor and the heartlesSncss of false
friends2 The memory of Ciiiey is still cherish
ed in New England, and the names OF his wrong
doors can never be forgotten there. The Presl-
dent is full Of New England feeliRgs TO say Moth
inr of his warm personal feeling, snd 1t is the
most improbable thing in the world that he should
at one and the same time insult New England
and the memory of his slaughtered friead, by Civ
inc dignities and emoluments to Henry A. Wise

On a recent visit to Lexington, we were grati-

town has increased in size and improved consid-
erably in the style of its buildings. The literary
institutions of the place are in flourishing condi-
ton; Washington College, under its present eff
cient corps of professors certainly the pa
tronage of tine public We doubt if there is a
similar institution in the country, where sounder
and more thorough instruction is impaired, and
where the students are at the same time surround
ed by better moral influence. We had the pleas
ureof hearing lecture from Professor CAMPBELL,
to his eless, and feel sure that if the pupils do no!
profit by his instrusseGs it is their own fault
We were pleased learn that Professor FISH

inc temporary track over space of two miles
where the heaviest work occurs, this division alst
may be brought into use, and fitted for the accom-

gambler, who quarreled with and killed trader.
with whom he was playing monte, He was hing
at Shasta. Two others robbed and murdered a
couple of storekeepers at Eureka, and the remain
ing two Of the five were Mexican horse thieves,
who were executed summarily at Monterey. In
all of these cases the miserable wretches, who suf-
fered the penalty of death for their crimes, were
regularly tried by Lynch-law court and jury,
according to the forms and usages of genuine law,

enough, one of the trials, that Of Eureka. lasted
