Mr.. EDITOR 1t is with gloomy apprehen
sion, look upon the vast quantity of Cater
pillars through the county, and the apathy of
the farmers with regard to them. Unless early
means be used to destroy the nests, they will
overrun the whole county-destroy not only
fruit trees, but all vegetables
Their name will be Legion, if nat at once
destroyed,
let every man on his own premises go to
work, and extirpate them If the nest is easily
reached pour on it some Coal Oil ifqas, use a
long pole with sponge saturated with the OIL
The present appearance in the orchards
should suffice to alarm every ulan who cares
for his fruit They may not only destroy the
fruit, but the tree not ony the tree, but their
crops Set TO work in time w.

The NORTHERN METHODIST CHURcH.-We
have repeatedly called attention to the insidious
efforts of that great Radical machine, the North
ern Methodist Church, to obtain o foothold In
the South. The last number of the New York
Tribune confirms all that We have said as to the
political character of this Church After giving
the statistics presented to the General Confer
enee as to the strength of the Church in the
South, the Tribune adds:
THE figures which we have quoted have a
pottttcalno less than an ecclesiastical significance
There are probably not dozen voters IN all the
Conferences named ,oho ,oW cote the Democratic
ticket. Thus, these Conferences represent a
considerable portion of the Republican party of
the South, and their rapid growth must be hail
ed as one of the most promising proofs of all
real reconstruction. -

a number of dialogues, declamations, charade.

We know your paper is so much crowded

the night, and was splendidly acted by Miss

the laughter and applause which followed were
proof that it was truly enjoyed by every one

In the airy ocean DER us
Float dun cloudlets-mystic isles
That below them have dim shadows,
And above them Angels smiles.
Oft they come in dark battalions,
Fading fast in realms afar;
Oft comes one in lonely wanderings
Like some lost and mourning star.
Shadows from their pathway falling,
Fen on graves leave diamond dew
Should they come in forms appalling,
They'll depart with suns in view.
Thus our earthly cares and sorrows
Phantoms seen through misty tears
Leave behind them nothing blighting
Save the forms that childhood fears,
Ever, Gods cloudy pillar,
Guides His people to their rest;
IT'S but shadows that veil from thee
Hopes bright bow and visions blest:
From the blows that seem to crush thee
Are the Christ-like graces born
Weepings for the night that passes,
Joy the gift of waiting morn.

MEssRs. EDITORS :-Sapposing few items
from the little county of Highland might In
terest some of your readers, I am prompted
to address you a line
Our Circuit Court, His Honor John T. Har-
ris presiding, has just adjourned, after disposing
of many important and complicated cases. The
time passed off pleasantly The grand issue of
the day--the adoption or rejection of the So
called Constitution by the Mongrel
Convention in Richmond, seems to be the great
absorbing question in Highland. On Saturday,
the first day of our Circuit Court, large num-
Der of the citizens of the county being present,
addresses were delivered by Messrs. Mayse and
Popham, of Bath; Myers, of Highland, and
Bumgardner, of Augusta; and on the follow
ing Monday, Wm Skeen, Esq, of Allegheny,
delivered pleasing and interesting address,
filled with wit and humor, to a large and atten-
tive audience The Constitution, as well as
the results which must necessarily follow its
adoption, were clearly set forth by these gentle
men, who were cheered by frequent cries from
the audience, well vote it down. We'll
vote it down. And the election day will show
that the people Of Highland not only speak,
but also act. Tho few in number still these
have yet the spirit of Virginians, and tho
made almost helpless by the rude hand Of war;
still they stand firmly on the broad basis of
their constitutional rights, and their meek
voices shall be heard speaking against negro
supremacy. The Conservative organization is
about completed, and it is believed that not
more than six white votes will be cast in favor
OF the adoption of the Constitution. VIM. W.
Fleming, Esq, one of the county canvassers,
will address the citizens Of the county on Thurs
day next (Court day. Knowing Mr. Fs abil-
ity we expect something rich and hope the
people may turn out in large numbers to hear
him. *
John E. Rutherford, indicted at the last
term of the Circuit Court for being accessory
to the murder of Sol. Nicholas, gave himself
up to the authorities, and was tried before JUS
tees Trimble, Bird and Geo. Eagle, and was ac-
quilted. Atchison, the murderer, is still at
large, and nothing definite as to his where
abouts can be learned
We are informed that Henry j. Fleisher and
Isaac Seybert have sold their valuable farms
near Monterey, David Fultz, Esq, of Staunton,
becoming the purchaser of the farm of the for
mer Fleisher and Seybert are going to seek
new homes in Nebraska. The loss of these
gentlemen will be deeply felt by the citizens of
Monterey and vicinity, and their places can be
filled only, by such enterprising men as the
purchaser of Mr.. Fs farm The mountains

| Was it the chime of tiny bell,
That came so sweet to my dreaming ear,
Like the silvery tones of fairys she'll
That winds or the beach so mellow and clear,
w hen the winds and the lie together asleep
And the moon and the fairy are watching the
deep; v ~ r.,
She dispensing her silvery light, r ~. -
And he, his notes as silvery quite,
While the boatman listens and ships his oar,
To catch the music that comes from the share,
Harki the notes on my ear that play
Are set to words-as they float they say, 2,
Passing away! passing away t.
But no. it was not fairy SHE'LL
Blown on the beach so mellow and clear;
Tor was it the tongue of a silver bell,
Striking the hour, that filled my ear,
As lay in my dream; yet was it a chime
That told OF the flow Of the stream of time,
For q beautiful cloud from the ceiling hung,
And plump little girl for pendulum swung;
Gas you We sometimes seen, in a little ring
That hangs in his cage, canary bird swing;)
And she held to her bosom budding bodquet,
And as she enjoyed it, she seemed to say,
passing away! passing away!'
O, how bright were the wheels that told
Of the lapse of time as they moved round slow
And the hands, they swept er the dial of gold,
Seemed to point to the girl below.
And 10 she had changed-in few short hours
Her bouquet had BECOME Q garland Of flowers,
That ahe Aeld ii her outstratched hands and flung
In the fplness of grace and womanly pride,
That told me soon she was to be bride;
Yet then when expecting her happiest day,
In the same sweet voice | heard her say,
Passing away! passing away ~
While gazed at that fair ones cheek, shade
Of thought, or care, stole softly over,
Like that by cloud in summers day made,
Looking down on a field of blossoming clover
The rose yet lay on her cheek, but its flush
Had somethinglost Of its brilliant blush;
And the light in her eye and the light on the
wheels, tt
That marched so calmly round above her,
Was a little dimm d-as when evening steals
Upon Looms hot face Yet one couldn't but
love her,
For she looked like mother. whose first babe lay
Rock'd on her breast, as she swung all day;
And she seemed in the same silver tone to say,
Passing away! passing awayP' aas.
While yet look d, what change there came
Her eyes were quench'd, and her cheek was
wan;
STOPPING and statf'd was her withered frame
Yet, just as busily swung she on;
The garland beneath her had fallen to dust;
The wheels above her were eaten with rust;
The hands that over the dial swept ~ . a..
Grew crook and tarnished, but on they kept,
And still there came that silver tone >
From the shryei lips of the toothlass crope.--

The Chicago Methodist General Conference
has decided to admit the negro Annual Confer
ence delegates. Protesting the creed which the
northern Methodists do relative to negroes, it
was but consistent and proper that they should
pass the resolutions admitting the colored con-
ferences to representation. But what will the
Churcn DO In Maryland, Delaware, West Vir-
glnia, Kentucky, and Missouri?

1t is a curious fact that the fine particles of
partially carbonized matter which give the
peculiar haze or smoky appearance to the
atmosphere of the Atlantic States during the
Indian summer come from region entirely
across the continent. Tne minute atoms, ex-
amined by the microscope, are found to belong
to vegetable organisms which are only produced
on the plains at the base Of the Rocky Noun
tains, and the atoms are waited hither through
some wonderful meteorological agency
