which be says he can testify to-:
When It was found that Davis wss to

excitement among the veteran soldiers
knew no bounds. The result had been
published days before. and. half expect

This brotherhood no man wss quslifi-

tends to New York. Philsdelphia and
Boston. While the bail was being ar.
ranged BY the court ct Richmond on the
day set for the trial, paper was handed
in to Davis council, Charles O'Conaor,
Of New York. warning him of the exis.
tencs of such lSssue. and naming two
men in the court room as members.
These men wore seized Is soon Is they
left the room. on Q mock charge, and ts.

It will be remembered that Davis arrived

@ We may be mistaken. but it
strikes MS very tercibly. that the Law

fend him, does it with the real design of
injuriug him with his own party, and
thereby breaking him down. The very
grounds upon which it pretsnds to sus.

insure his condemnation by the party that

The GrasshoPpers.

The grssshoppers may b called .
"scare." and "humbug." bat there has
been, and still is, serious cause 10 sppre-
bend great dsmsge from them. The
country 10 alive with them. and more
seem to bs hstching ont continually. %
they msy bs seen from half-grown down
to the size of q flea. They have not yet
done much harm to the crops. except in
spots, where they are riddliog things.
They seem to coDgregsts more thickly in
some localities than otbers-wbether pre-
psrstory to taking their fight. or for
some other purpose, cannot be known.
We suppose the general feeling among
the farmers is. that if they succeed in 90.
wing any part Of their grain crops. it will
be so much gain that they have not hop
Cd for.
The taste of grssshoppers Is in some
respects not unlike that Of humanity-
they appear to have . hsnkering after
something strong. Peas and other sweet
Asvored vegetables they have not touched;
while such plants ss rsdishes and onions
are greedily devoured by them. Bet their
favorits food is decidedly the dog fennel
and smart rt-weed-the former particularly.
They will locate themselves on the fen.
mel, and devour it, leaves, stem, and oil.
One farmer informs us that dog-fennel
grew thickly around the borders Of bis
corn-6sld. The weeds were black with
grssshoppers. and were being literally
eaten up by them. while bis young corn
was scarcely touched. and the little dam.
age done was Immediately adjoining the
dog-fenuel. Farmers think that if the
grssshoppers do not molest the wheat
until the straw begins to turn and the
heads to ripen. they will not harm it d
oil; and that if they do cut of the blades.
In will not injure the grain.
What the grssshoppers are going to
do. is another puzzling question. Some.
times it is thought they have commenced
moving in . certain direction but in q
dsy or two, they seem to have changed
their route. And il they do go. the pro-
bsbility is that they extend over such Z
wide scope of country. that fresh one,
will be constantly coming in the wake ol
those that are leaving. and that they will
remain long enough to destroy all the
crops. There is no certainty that they
will leave at all. or that they will not
leave deposit of eggs behind, for crop
the next season. Whatever may be the
result, farmers may well be alarmed.
without deserving the sppelIation Of
I" croakers."
