PROGRESS or LAW AND ORDER IN KANSAS
We are glad to see tina. the free State party OF
Kansas, in general convention assembled, have
resolved to vote at the October Territorial cleo
ton, and not 10 play the part Of the dog in the
manger any longer. This shows that the bleed
ing of Kansas at the present time is not likely
to be the death of her, but that she is on the
high road to peaceable admission into the
Union as a sovereign State. The letter of Mr.
Buchanan will give an additional impulse to the
Of Congress the action Of Congress will alone be
required 10 settle the whole question Thus VIC run
before the wind, and the agitstors Of bleeding
Kansas are left in the ditch.

New Enemy to Fruit.

We hear much complaint in this neigh6or-
hood of a small worm which is very des-
t~ructive to fruit and fruit trees. On some
trees it attacks the leaves, and limbs sew
eral feet long are left entirely bare. Some
apple trees, on which there appeared every
prospect of a good crop, are left almost
without a healthy apple on them. The
worm eats in the fruit a little deeper than
the skin, sometimes pairing the apple al
most entirely. We have not head of its
attacking the fruit of any other tree.
The destroyer is what is commonly call
the measuring worm," or something very
similar to it, and is the same which last
summer dismantled so many of our forest
trees. We have not learnel how far its ram
ges extend, but in this vicinity it is very
destructive.

Wheeling POST Office.

By a private letter we are informed that
the election in Wheeling, on Saturday, for
Post Master resulted in the choice. of
Feeney. The whole number of votes cast
was 3S5 of which Feeney received 312.
There are other aspirants for the Office,
who did not submit their claims to the
voters. Clemens, the Congressman
from that district, is in rather an awkward
predicament. He has either pledged him
self to more than one claimant, or has not
the courage to assume the responsibility
of deciding between them. We have no
voice in the matter; but inbehalf ofdozens
of persons in this neighborhood who have
complained Of the present post master, we
protest against his disappointment. The
management of that Office has been any
thing but satisfactory to the people here.
