YELLOW BIRDS AND THE WEEvIL.-The
Binghampton Republican says that far.
mer in that vicinity, who supposed that
yellow birds destroy the wheat. com,nenc.
ed shooting them, and out of curiosity
opened the crop of one of them. He found
that instead of eating the wheat, the birds
destroyed the weevil. He discovered as
many as two hundred weevil in the crop.
and but four grains of wheat. which the
weevil had in them. The next time a
lazy lubber. having nothing to do but car
ry all day gun on his shoulder. roams
through the fields or woods. we hope tina,
he will direct the instrument OF death at
some useless or mischievous obiec,-his
own head. if nothing more destructive
presents itself-and not the yellow bird,
or any other little songsiers making the
air vocal with their music.

A rumor prevailed in town Yesterday.
that tho operations on the Ohio and Mis-

could readily be guessed, there were ma
ny anxious inquiries about the subject. -
We cannot say that wa are surprised at

do not see how its managers could have.
in justice to the public and the mselves
continued their trains. This step will
occasion great temporary Inconvenience
TO the business public, as well as the
travelling community; but blame cannot
be attached TO the managers of the road.
The responsibility. the detriment TO bu.
siness, and the inconvenience to travel
ers. must rest alone upon those acho haze
stirred up and kept up the mob spirit
along the line.
The holders and managers Of the road
have usedeyery exertiun In their power
to allay the turbulent and dissatisfied
parties along the road. blu, to no avail. -
We have no means of know ing how long
this suspension will continue, but trus.
it may be of short Duration.

MIR. Clay on FuSiOniSm.

The fusion movement, now so ram
pant, began before Henry Clay died.
He said of it:
"But if il (the whig party is to be
merged into contemplate a6ofthoh

grated upon The achig creed. from Aot
moment renOunce the party and cease

If am alive. will give my humble sup
port 10 that man FOR the Presidency, who.
to whatever party he may belong. is not
contaminated by fanaticism, rather than
to one who, crying out all the time that
he is whig, maintains doctrines utterly
subver.ive OF the Constitution and the
Union"
Thus, were Mr.. Clay alive at the pres.
ent time, the democratic party could
count upon his support of their candi-
da te for the next Presidency. How many
old wings in Indiana respond to the
above declaration of the Mill Boy of the
Sashes? There are some. we know; and
there are others who have merged into

The news from Salt Lake is Of very

HE EVOI IrTION IN NEyIEO


BY the arrival of the steamship Nauti-
lus from Brazos Santiago. We have receiv-
ed the Brownsville Flag Of the 10th inst.
from which we gather the following in
!elligence:
As TO the progress Of the revolution in
Northern Mexico. the Flag says:
Though no actual fighting has yet &C.
CURED between the insurgents and the
Government troops on this frontier. the
two parties are assuming positions which
will render snch a result inevitable ere
the lapse of many days. BY the arrival
from Monterey of a gentleman of undoubt-
ed veracity. we learn that the insurgents
under the leadership Of the intrepid vi
dauri. are marching upon Matamoras in
strength, numbering some twenty five
hundred men. composed of artillery, cav.
airy and infantry. He represents the
as we'll armed and equiPped-provided
with everything requisite for regular
campaign. The second in command is
Carvajal. whose advanced guard he passed
at Las Cuevas. between ANA go and Rev.
noso. The latter town ia the Fl rst one on
the river above Mstamoras, some sixty
miles distant. There, we presume, the
first battle will be fought. as the govern
msnt troops are said 10 have fallen back
from Camargo upon Reynoso, on account
of its strong natural position, which they
are still further strengthening BY for;ifi-
cations 10 Reynoso there are said to be
some six hundred regular troops, who are
doubtless at this hour menaced BY Carva-
ial's command Of thousa nd men.
To reinforce the garrison at Reynosa.
General VOL has left Matamoras at the
head of some 800 men--his whole avail
able force-leaving in Matnmoras barely
men sufficient for garrison duty; while
Vidauri is marching with more than thrice
the number of Liberators from Monterey
10 the aid OF Carvsjal. The government
uuups are represented ss being discon-
certed and reluctant--driven forward by
the bayonet--while the insurgents are
fired with the greatest enthusiasm.
Thus matters stand at the time of our
going TO press. Doubtless before our next
issue a bloody and decisive battle will
have taken place. If the insurgents prove
victorious. then the existing government
will have but one other foothold on this
frontier--Matamoras will alone remain,
and that place will not be able 20 hold
out many weeks. While, on The other
hand, should the Govern ent win, the
hunted liberals need expect no quarter
from their Infatuated enemy. Unfortu-
nately the narrow river that divides us
offers too great an inducement to cross
on neutral ground when danger presses
closely.
1t is evident, however. that never be-
fore had the insurgents SO great prom
Use of success. More than half the coun-
try is already in their hands. We are
credibly informed that the insurgents of
this frontier are in constant com munica-
ton with those of the Soulh--that post
of couriers have been established from
Camargo to Acapulco. travelling the whole
distance over revolted territory

marks:

Governor Reeder's Removal.

We most fully concur with many oil
our exchanges in their regrets at the re-
moval of Gov. Reeder at this particular
iuncture. We append the opinions OF
few, as follows:
We infer that Gov. R. has failed to
satisfactorily explain the speculations in
Indian lands In which he was charged to
have been engaged. We exceedingly re
greet that he should have been led 10 com.
nit any act which made his removal ne
cessary. for we have admired his manly
performance of difficult duties. and his
hrmness in resisting the unlawful pro.
ceedings in Kansas. His successor is q
good msn.-Det. Free Press.
Upon confirmation Of the removal and
the appointment of Mr.. Dawson of Penn
sylvania. the Laporte Times says;
This matter does not surprise us. and
yet we cannot help thinking that there
are but few men who would have dischar.
ged The onerous du,iesof governor Of Kan
sas better than has Governor Reeder. The
Administration has its reasons for the
change. but we are very much disposed TO
doubt their justice and their wisdom"
Other exchanges contain corroLorating
statements that the removal created con.
siderable excitement q: Washington, and
it was believed there few days ago that
Dir. Dawson will not accept the appoint.
ment. in which event it will be given to
southerner.
The n. Y Journal of Commerce of the
3lst ult. contained leader condemning
the removal of Governor Reeder as an
unfortunate step of the admi nistration in
the present condition of Kansas affairs. as
it will furnish unprincipled fanatics
means TO fan the flames of sectional dis
cord.

out success. She had never been known

conclusion was that she had iollen into

tered to make some repairs. The COW
was found-sAut up in the fume. wasted

to move her body. still alive. Nourish-
ment was given her, little alta time.
and she seems now in fair way to re.
cover. She had been there, as there is
every reason to believe. just thirty days;
as the food had, at tina, time, burst into
