WAsH1NeToN, Jan. 13, 1S66.-In the
course of these letters have frequently
asserted the inability of Congress, as at
present constituted, to adopt by the re-
quired vote those measures necessary to
practical overthrow of the Government,
namely The displacement OF the Presi-
dent; the corruption or abolitionment OF
the Supreme Court, and the submission OF
the Southern country to the rule Of the ne
gro population, in COM JUNCTION with the
few itlnerand POLITICAL mountebanks who
infest that unfortunate portion .. the Uni
ted States. | have now no doubt of the
entire correctness Of these assertions
The difficulty in the accomplishment, Of
the nnbov >ends of the revo1utionists has
been, and still is, IN the Senate. But it
reed be no longer disguised that very
shortly this impediment will have been
removed. This, in short, is the key to the
defeat Of Foster in Connecticut, Harris in
New 7 oriS, and Of others need not name.
It was also to the overshadowing inHu-
ence that prevailed in the admission Of
Nebraska and Colorado as States. On
the 9th OF March next, then, day select
ed by the conspi, ators by an act OF Con
gress recently passed, the people Of this
country naay expect to see the aa,atsation q
means fully adequate to coa1yua'1aRate thelr
aaefaraous purposes. 1t IS as certain as
any future event can be, that atralese de-
cisiue measures shall be taken, to arouse the
entire county to its Imminent danger, the
>.Ides of March" will witness the total
|subversion of the substance and the very
forms of this Government. i.. =.
COMMERCIAL VALUE OF INSECTS. Great
Britain pays annually 100000, 900 for
carcasses OF shat tiny insect known as
cochincal; while another, also peculiar to
India, gum shelac, or rather its produc-
ton, is scarcely less valuable. More than
i 500 600 human beings derive their sole
support from the culture and manufacture
of the tibros spun by the silk worm, OF
which the annual circulating medium is
said to be 100000. In England alone,
to say nothing OF other parts OF Europe,
S5oO,0O0 are spent every year in the pur-
chase of honey, while the value of that
| which is native is mentioned, and this is
| the work Of the bee. Besides all this, there
are gall nuts used for dying aud making
/ ink; canthardes, or Spanish fly, used i'll
medicine. In fact, every insect is contri.
buting3in some way, directly or Indirectly
in swelling our commercial profits ~. :.
| CAUTIOUS MEN-Some men use words
as rifemen DO bullets. They say but lit
/ tie. Tue few words used go right to the
mark. They let yon talk, and guide with
! their eye and face, on and on, till what
You say Can be answered in word or two
and they lance out a sentence, pierce the
matter to the quick and are done. You
never know where you stand with them
I our conversation falls into their minds
as rivers into, a deep chasn, and lis los
from sight by Its depth and darkness
They will sometimes surprise you with I
few words that go to the mark like gun
shot, and then they are silent again, as i
they were reloading. !, Such men are safe
cnunsellors ana true friends in every case
!. where they profess to be SUCH To then
truthis more valuable than gold, while
tpretension is to gaudy too deceive them, a
