These pests of summer proceed from
the auimaIcules commonly termed "wiggle
tail" If bowl of water is placed in the
summers sun for few days, number Of
"wisgle tails" will be visible, and they
will continue to increase in size till they
reach three-sixteenths Of an inch in leI,gth,-
remaining longer at the surface as they
approach lmaturity, as if seeming to live
on influences derived from the two ele-
ments of air and water; finally they will
assume chrysalis form, and by an inereas-
ed specific gravity, sink to the bottom Oh
the bowl. A few hours only will elapse,
when short black furze or hair will grow
ont on every side of each, till it assumes
the form of minute caterpillar. Us sPe-
cifc gravity being thus counteracteds It
will readily float to the surface, and be
waited TO the side ofihe bowl by the slight
est breath of air. 10 short time u fiy
will be hatched and escape, leaving is
tiny house upon the surface Of the water.
Any one who has had cistern in the
ward, has doubtless observed the same
effect. every summer, although he may b
ignorant of the beautiful and simple pro-
cess of development. II a pitcher OF cis-
tern or other water, containing these AMI
macules. is placed 10 close room over
night. from which all mosquitoes have
been previously excluded, enough mos
ouitoes will breed from il during the night
to give any satisfactory amount Of trouble.
La fact, standing by shallow. half stag
nar,t pool in midsummeF's day, the full
development of any numbers Of "wiggle
tails'' to the mosquito state can be wit
messed, and the origin Of these disturbers
of nights slun.bers thus fully sscertained.

Railroad Celebration.
ATCHIsoN. June %. 1858.

ATCHIsoN, June 90, 1858.
EDITOR OF THE CHAMPIoN:-With this,
| hand ynu report of the remarks OF
Major Wrightman, of Santa Fe, at the
Depot grounds in Atchison, ON the 23d
instant.
The letters received from distinguished
gentlemen, in answer to invitations to at.
tend our celebration On the 23l, would fill
your paper, consequently l could not ask
their publication but in looking over the
list, have concluded TO hand you two for
publication, one from g. w. Brown, Esq :,
of the Herakt Of Freedom, at lawrence. and
DR.. Robinson. of Manhattan. select
these two, not because they are more fiat.
tering than Others, but because of the loca-
ton of the writers, hoping that the people
west and south west of Atchison, by their
perusal, may have their attention directe;.
to the importance of forming an early con-
nection, by good roads, with our young
city. That Atchison is the point on the
Missouri river, where the trade of Kansas
will finally center, when the people be-
come acquainted with our position, all
disinterestcd men admit. Add to this,
that our railroad is rapidly progressing,
thus extending the Hannibal and ST. Jo-
seph Railroad west to A:chison, and all
must see that at Atchison the whole peo-
pie of Kansas will have railroad connec.
lion with the North and East long before
they can form such anywhere else, and
within twelve months the whole emigra-
ton will come on this road and land at
Atchison; from thence they will find their
way into the Territory. This, of itself,
should at once induce all sections of Kan
sas to 60 to work and open good roads to
Atchison, and thereby secure to them
selves the benefits of good prices for their
produce, and induce migrants, when they
| reach here. to make their way into the
interior The making of such roads will
be very light expense. All that is need
ed, is for the roads to be marked out
plainly, and sign boards put up, and a few
bridges made. In all these matters, the
people of Atchison and vicinity will cheer
fully join; but the back country, when
| they reflect that we are shouldering the
burden of building our railroad, which is
for their benefit as well as ours, ought not
now to expect too much of us, in building
roads in the interior. Yours,
P. T. ABELL,
Secretary AtchisOn and St. Joseph

MAgoR wR1enrMAN,s SPEECH.

Fe1lo.o- citizens, Ladies and Gentlemen -
Though unexpectedly called upon, and
entirely unprepared to do justice to the
subject or to the occasion, cannot refrain
from addressing you few remarks in re-
sponse to the call that has been made
upon me.
citizens, you this day inaugurate
great work. Its importance is not the
less considerable because it is short road
you propose constructing, nor yet the less
considerable for the reason that the cost OF
construction per mile is so much less than
usual. These are your advantages-they
do not detract, however, from the impor-
tance of the Atchison and ST. Joseph Rail-
road.
The value of work of this character
must be measured by the results it viii
produce.
What are these results
ST. Joseph on the east bank of the Mis-
sour, has its advantage in being on the
easternmoss bend of the river. When a
railroad was projected to connect the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri rivers, ST Joseph be-
came inevitably its western terminus, be-
cause at that point the Missouri was with
the least expense and in the least distance
to be reached. ST. Joseph on the Mis-
souri, is the Dearest point to the Mississip-
pi, and this advantage of position COM
manded that it should be the terminus.
The same advantage that the position
of ST. Joseph gives it on the east bank oil
the river, in respect to the connection with
the east, Atchison on the west bank, com
mands in regard to commerce with the
west, and for like reason.
While ST. Joseph on the east bank, il
| on the eastefnmost bend, Atchison on the
| west bank, is on the westernmost bend
As st. Joseph is to the east. so is Atchi-
son to the west.
Nature conferred these advantages on the
sites of ST. Joseph and Atchisen. It be-
hoves you, fellow citizens. to see to it, thai
your natural advantages shall not be over
come by artificial advantages built up @
other points. This you are now doing
By the construction of the Atchison ant
st. Joseph Railroad You demonstrate you
determination to strengthen and fortif,
your natural advantages by arti6eia
means-to bring arts and science and capi
tai and enterprise TO the reinforcement o
nature. For the trade of Utah, the nstuE
al advantages of Atchison are unparal
ieled.
i For this trade, the apparent rival 9
I Atchison in natural advantages, Is Lsaven
worth. Let rs compare their respectiv
advantages. The frs' ght from St Isoui
70 each point Is the same. In this reseet
Leaveaworth and Atchison are equals
but how after the goods are landed on th
i levees of each. respectively ? "A sing

Sentinel of last week, letter in which he
speaks of his public career as now draw
ing to close. In the commencement, he
adverts to "the consideration that this
may be the last time' that he shall ad
dress them in this manner; he then re-
views at some length the history of the
slavery controversy, especially during the
last session of Congress, and concludes
as follows:
at is an enterprise eminently worthy
of a Christian people, and appropriate to
the age in which we live. 1t is too i'm
portant in its consequences, too vast in its
results to be consummated in one genera
ton. Many of you have entered upon
life since the commencement Of this refor-
nation, and those who were there at the
noontide of their earthly existence, are
now watching the descending sun as it
draws near the horizon of time, and Others
who toiied in the heat, and bore the bur-
dens of the day, have passed on to their
reward. To you who survive, I tender

a Failure.

The Kentucky NetCs states that an eff
fort. some time since projected, to es-
tablish pro-slavery press in Newport,
opposite Cincinnati, with capital from
fifly to one hundred thousand dollars, has
81 far, failed to unite the slave interest in
the enterprise.
alt was supposed that every slave
holder in the vicinity, and all those oi
wealth in all parts of Kentucky would be-
come stockholders in the concern and
sweep the Neps. like torrent from the
Alps, into the forgetful deep. But this
has not been the case. How many more
terrors will be set up to frighten the peo-
pie We shall not attempt to predict; but
strange TO say, in some neighborhoods the
Slave Power has managed to keep up the
belief that the Ne.cs would be discontinued
every month for the last eight years. Yet
to the thinking portion of our citizens, nc
better evidence was wanting than such
actions to prove that no such idea existed
with the manufactures of those stories.-
When this Mammoth Steam Printing
House is established to strengthen the
Slave Power in Kentucky, we will adver.
tise it to let its friends know that it is here
