lavsluniary Justice to Mcclellan.

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune, (mark the paper with
great reluctance, paws sterling tribute to
the great merits of Mcclellan. He candldly
confesses that if Mcclellan be the democratic
candidate the army of the Potomac will to
aman' repaaiate Lincoln and vote for the he
70 of Autietam. Here is what he saws:
'.That the political feeling of this army is
extremely unsettled there is chance for
doubt. Ii contains , many divers elements.
and is the victim of such vast amount of
political manipulation, it is not to be wondered
at that there is little unity of political senti-
ment. Add To this The fact that bv far the
largest part of Its generals and field officers
are from the old democratic party. and tie
cause of a re,y ertensire anti-administratioa
sentiment. is easily accounted for. 1t is not
"peace democracy sentiment, but one far
more dangerous TO Mr.. Lincoln and the re-
publican party. IF THE CHICAGO CON
VENTION NOMINATES GEN. McCLEL-
Ian UPON A REASONABLE PLAT
FORM, THE VOTE OF THE ARMY OF
THE POTOMAC WILL BE LARGELY
ESFRANGED FROM THE PRESENT
ADMINISTRATIONS. This is fact tha,
should not be overlooked and which time will
develope with far more perspicuity than isnow
seen"

Coal OIL FOR ISsECTs-A suggestion hav-
ing been made that Z" coal oif' was proving
grand remedy for nearly all noxious insects,
Mr.. Wells was called upon tc state his exper-
fence in the use ofpetro,eum.
Mr.. Wells. in reply, said he had con fined
his experiments. with coal oil TO the use of it
on plum trees. to destroy or drive away the
curculio, and also to the use of it around cab
bage plants. He mixed Thoroughly halfpint
of coal oil with double the quantity of soft
soap, and afterwards added four or FIVE gal
Ions Of water. With this he syringed his
plum trees once a day at the beginning of the
curculio season. and afterwards twice a week,
by which means he succeeded in saving his
plums. He was not certain, however but
that he would arrive at the same result if he
syringed his trees with simple water, rs he
was sometimes inclined to think that it was
the periodical disturbance that drove away the
curculio. In protecting his cabbage from
insect depredators he took fine chips and
dust from a planning mill, and after sa.ura-
ting these slightly with coal oil he strewed a
handful around each cabbage plant. This
plan had proven remarkably successful, as he
had saved ninety-nine out of every hundred
plants treated in this manner. while plants
not thus treated suffered severely from insect
depredators.
Mr.. Brown feared that if coal oil was resor
ted to generally by the public. it would be apt
in too many instances to kill plants well
as insects, the same had often happened when
spirits of turpentne and other nauseous artic-
les had been used.-Etstern Hort. Society
