"GREENFiELD, November lS, 1861.
ITO Cincinnati Horticultural Society;
VI have discovered a remedy which effec-
tually guards the peach-tree against the grub
and other insects. 1t consists in removing
the ground from the tree to the depth Of one
or two inches and filing II up with sulphur.
II is simple, cheap and effectual, and you
will please bring it to the notice of the
JAMES CoMsToCK."
The aforementioned remedy was thought
worthy Of trial. but members of the society
were unable to express any opinion upon its
utility.
Several communications upon the subject
of electricity, as a vital force in plants, were
referred to DR.. Warder, with a view Of maxi
ing full report on the subject at some future

Mr.. HEAVIER was called upon for a state

could not be done, however, owing to our
Limestone soil, which was unfavorable to
their growth.
The Cheat Mountain region was covered
with a dense growth of white spruce.

THE DEATH OF COLONEL CRoGHAN.--A corre-
spondent of the World, writing from the Head
quarters of General Rosecrans, on the 21st
inst, thus refers to the death of Colonel st.
George Croghan, during the recent engagement
thirty miles beyond Fayetteville:
Our brigade opened the action upon them
with great spirit, and the rebels again fed in
great confusion. Only one officer attem pied to
turn them to the conflict. He displayed great
courage in endeavoring to rally his retreating
men, and attracted the admiration of our en-
tire troops. While our bullets fell thick around
them as we advanced at quick step, he was in
the very rear of his regiment cheering his
men, and vaiRly trying to turn them to face
us. They fed, but he refused to follow them,
and fell in his place before we reached the
ground.
He was not immediately killed, but his
wounds we're fatal. He represented himself to
General Benham as Colonel Croghan, son of a
United States Navy officer, of Pennsy lVania,
who, in our last war with England, distin-
guished himself in the defense of western
post against the combined attack of large
force of British and Indians, General Benham
conVeTsed with him, received his last wishes,
and placed him in care of the Brigade Sur
geon, but he died on the evening Of the 14th.

The Montgomery Advertiser of the Gath
says:
For more than six months past the parri-
sons at Fort Plckens and Pensacola have
faced each other, making preparations for q
desperate struggle, which might be COM
menced at any moment, but the suspense is
now over.
The day so long wished for by our gallant
volunteers, who have been compelled TO pass
the summer in comparative inactivity in
camp, has arrived, and the strength Of the
fortifications on each side are TO be fully
tested before either party will acknowledge
defeat.
The works erected by the Confederate
forces have doubtless been constructed with
great skill and care, and we should by this
time hear that they are in condition to stand
the combined assaults of the fort and Yam
kee feet.
There will be no child's play on either
side; it will be no Hatteras or Port Royal
affair. The Confederstes are too strongly
intrenched to entertain any idea of succumb-
ing to any thing like an equal force.
