Grdsshopper Migration. "A Minnesota
Correspondent Of a Chicago paper expresses
The conviction that the grasshoppers that
have been ravaging portions of Minnesota,
will reach the Atlantic States before their
destructive mission is ended This opinion
has been elected in reply to the one ex-
pressed. that the grasshopper plague was
peculiar or incidental to Utah and Mime
sofa. The writer is in possession Of facts
which show that these gresshoppets lnigsa-
ted from the Pacific shore. He says -
Nothing but the interposition of Divine
Providence will prevent the annual davas-
tation of these insects IN every State east of
this tc the Atlantic coast, which they may
not reach under three years; having been
about that time since they left Utah aud the
Upper Minnesota valley. Already | hear
one wing of the great army has reached
Wisconsin, the right wing having reached
Iowa, aud the central column the edge of
Illinois. 1t is to be feared their eggs will
be deposited in these States
The section of country where they have
been so destructive in Minnesota for two
years is narrow strip Gu each side of the
Mississippi. above ST. Anthonys Falls
The insect did not reach quite down to St.
Anthony. The eastern and southern Sec
tons of Minnesota escaped until their flight

North Carolina Printing Paper. a

correspondent of the Petersburg Express,
writing on board the steamer Roanol e, at
Portsmouth,, Va, says 10 my surprise
the Roaao5is took on here about three hun
bred bundles Of paper, ali manufactured in
North Carolina, and shipped to the roft of
New Yorl. 0ia Portsmouth. But the stran-
gcst idea connected with this transaction, is
the fact that the most Of it is sold to and con-
suned by Greedy, in printing that freedom
shrieking sheet the Tribune it's said by
SOME that Greeiy married in Warrenton On,
North Carolina, and, therefore, has some
sympathy remaining for the old North State
This may be assigned reason for his pur-
chasing ryi;.tlng paper from slave State;
but the true secret Of the matter doubtless
is, that Greedy gets it a little cheaper than
he could in the free States; and where money
enters into any transaction with which a
Yankee Abolitionist is connected, You may
take it for granted that the pccuniary CON
sideration will out weigh every other. Love
for negroes, country, and all things else,
must give way for the love Of maa4mon. :
