TnE GRAssHorrER PLAQUE or MNNEsoTA 49,
A letter from Anoka, VI. T., fully confirms the
one lately published about the destruction of
crops by the grasshopper army travelling south
from Red River The writer says:-
Their favoiito food is tender garden yegefa-
bles. beans, onions. carrots, tnrnips. &c. Pota-
ties ruined by being Invested Of all leaves.
Last season they arrived too late 10 destroy
wheat and corn. But considering their immense
numbers, the ground being literally covered with
them in many places, farmer. n.dered them.
selves lucky IN getting rid them as easily
they did, for with the shnrls frosts of Autumn
aud the disappearance of vegetation they etndu
ally died of But this not the end thereof
1t seems that eating did not occupy all their time
or attention.
Careful observers saw them busy upon the
ground about something, which now proves to
have been deposlting their eggs, which natural
lists say the female, lay to the number of one hun
dred and fifty. We had very weather
here last winter the mercury several times sink
ing more than 10 deg.'s below zero, yet these
eggs, almost on the surfaer of the earth as they
were, came out bright in the Spring. As
AS the snow was gone and the ground began to
get warm, the grusshoppers began to come up
some early aud others later, according 10 the
situation the eggs had to the sun. They have
been Matching ever since, aud presume are not
all out yet. When first hatchcd they are quite
light III color and but small in size.
But there are two things that they cna do
right smart" from the beginning viz hop and
eat. They hop first and keep hopping Till they
find something that suits them to cat and they
are nowiso dainty about it either for they don't
stop till the supply is exhausted. OF Course tho
consequences are most disastrous. Whole acres
of wheat are completely eaten and destroyed in u
day. Oats fare no better, and corn will doubtless
share the same fate. Some farmers. becoming
discouraged stopped ,holt in their planting and
sowing declaring that they would not waste their
seed Others put in their whole crop. but with
faint prospect of ever getting back anything.
Some have hoped that they would leave which
they doubtless will do when they get wings,
which will not be, foar till everything in the
way of crops is destroyed, Asyet they don't ont
grass much, but of course when other things are
gone they will take that aud then stock must
suiler. Water treatment seems to suit them for
they are all the smarter after hard rain. They
come from the West aud travel East; and when
they have eaten everything in Minnesota, Iowa,
| Wisconsin and Illinois will have to share the
same fate. as our stock is sufficient for all the
country below u.s.

This so far as breakfast is concerned is without
parallel. But an incident recently came under
our observation well worthy to 90 down to im.

We observe with some surprise. that an &C
tive opposition is forming in Mississippi to tho
reelection of this gentleman to the United States
Senate. We say we have observed it with sur
prise-for we think it would be difficult to detect
in Gov. Browns whole political a single
instance of lack of devotion to the interests of
his State, or of fcalty to the cause OF the South.
We have never agreed with Gov. Brown in
political sentiment, but cannot resist the IN
clination to say that the loss of his services the

Perhaps there is no member of the Senate

this attempt to eject him from the Senate will be
successful. In the presence of the formidable
