Remedy for the Chinch Bug.

We published Recently note from the Hon.
Abram Rencher. stating that fish oil had been
found an excellent remedy for the chinch bug now
destroying the corn. Mr.. Rencher has addressed
another note on the subject, in which he says
he has found the remedy entirely successful, but
that of his neighbors complain that kills their
corn So it does his corn, says Mr.. R., if applied in
too large quantity. He says, "take feather from
the wing of chicken or goose, clip off small piece
of the little end, dip the feathery p IT oil, and
run it down between the boot and the stalk of the
two lower blades, wipe off the oil remaining on the
feather on the outside of the stalk near the ground.
The oil kills the bugs it touches, and the balance
disappear" Mr.. Rencher adds: II have just re-
turned from my cornfeld, which bordered on my
wheat field for two hundred yards, and where the
chnch bug appeared in great force Their ravages
were arrested by the application of the OIL and the
corn looks as we'll at this time if there had
been bug upon it. However unsuccessful others
may be in the application of fish oil, consider my
self indebted to it for the safety of my cornfield
write this from fear that some persons may be dis
couraged by an improper application of the OIL"

Hon. L. OBJ. BRANcH.-Our talented and faithful
representative viii, on Wednesday next address the
citizens of Warren. He will give his constituents
opportunity of hearing, from his own lips an expa-
nation of his votes in Congress during the late
sion; and will refute the strange, and we suspect,
wilful Misrepresentation which SO ndustriously
circulated by the political enemies of the Democrat
ic party. Mr. Branch's course in Congress has al
ready received the warmest and most emphatic en-
dorsement from the assembled Democracy of the
different counties in his district But he is deeply
anxious that his friends in Warren would meet him
and give him an opportunity of exposing the ,njus-
upon his political consistency. Let the people of
Warren on that day rally round a man whose only
fault in the eyes Of our opponents is deep and abb
ding faith in the justice and truth of Democratic
principles, and firm determination to support them
in all places, under all circumstances and at all haz

HAIL SroRM.-A correspondent has given US the
following account of the hail storm which occurred
in the neighborhood Of Cedar Grove on Thursday
night last. 1t fell, our correspondent says, in
row channel, say about one mile in width. The
stones were small generally about the size Of com.
mon bullet. The corn in some fields was almost
completely torn to pieces. You can form some idea
of the great fall of the hail from the fact that in
small ravine, extending some two hundred yards or
more, and embracing area of some eight or ten
acres the hail stones were swept off by the rain and
collected in raft at point covering about one
quarter of an of ground to depth varying from
foot to near three in depth It is not too much
to say that there was in the single heap forty

THE CAROLINA STANDARDS: saturday JULY H.

arrival at Philadelphia Of Fsos Hundred Aos"'o"s
PHILADELPHIA, July 8.-The ship Tuscarora, from
Liverpool, arrived here to-day, with $50 Mormon
passengers, bound to Salt Lake.
We visited the ship this morning soon after her
arrival and found the deck swarming with the new
recruits for Brigham Young's colony at Salt Lake.
The emigrants were principally families and every
age from infants at their mothers breasts to totter-
ing old men and women, was represented. The
strangers were generally hardy looking people, snd
they had the appearance of being persons in toler.
able comfortable circumstances from agricultural
districts All hands seemed happy at the prospect
before Them and they were generally free from the
appearance of concern and anxiety which usually
distinguishes emigrants when they first reach .
strange land. This is to be accounted for from the
fact that the Mormon agents here and the officers Of
the colony on shpboard, took upon themselves the
task of obtaining lodgings ashore for the party.
great crowd collected upon the wharf, but they were
kept off of the ship, unless they had business on
board. This course saved the strangers from the
harpes who are always ready to pounce upon newly
arrived emigrants.
The great majority Of these newly arrived Nor
mons are Welsh and Danes, but there also among
them Swedes, English and Scotch. 1t is curious
that there not single Irish person among them.
An officer of the ship, with whom we conversed, in
formed us that the party were under command Of
an officer, an Engl:shman named Harper, who exer.
cised patriarchal authority them. The passen.
gers were moral and correct in their department du
ring the passage, and strict in the observance of
their religious FORMS There were religious services
three times each Sunday, and at given periods du.
ring the week. Our informant further stated that
the passengers were generally quite intelligent and
we'll versed in the Scriptures
The strangers will remain in this city until Mon
day, when they will stare for Utah.
