TIE PLAGUE OF BEErLEs.-Utah is
not only plagued With locusts, but with
an insect called the &c elephant beetle"
From the description given to US of this
formidable insect, we can easily imagine
that its presence nppnls the inhabitants
of that Territory. A reliable person,
who returned from the neighborhood Of
Salt Lake last week, saw myriads Of
them covering the earth with their shin
ing brownish.b black bodies, and Destroy
ing everything which they mel in their
patb. Even small animals, he was in
formed by the Inflated residents, did not
escape the voracity of their hordes /;
their bodies were crowded upon and
worried and wounded cruelty with the
powerful ~antenn@, until they fell down
exhausted by their struggles and loss Of
blood, when they were fastened upon by
thousands and deyoured. The entire
carcass of q sheep was eaten the
bones picked clean in two minutes and
a quarter, and it is said that a dead OK
would be gobbled up by them In a quar-
tor of an hour. So %ferocious are these
giant beetles that mothers are afraid to
let their little children 60 out Of the
house unattended by q grown person.
In their frequent bloody contests the
wounded IRE devoured on the instant.
Our informant says they are about four
inches long, with legs three inches long;
their antenne are sharp, stiff, and fully
four inches long. They have o short
tail, armed with q powerful horn, and
their shells are so hard that tho weight
of a man will hardly crush Thorn. They
are very frisky ut times, and jump with
the agility of fleas. No other species
of beetle possesses their faculty Of ut
tcriug n loud sound, which, made BY
thousands Of thom at once, resembles
the braying of a band Of jackasses.
Their noise terrified the horses of our
informant and his companion, who could
not be kept upon the plain, so great was
their fright. On one occasion, while
they were riding in a valley that WAS
black with beetles and crushing them
under their horses hoofs, their hard
cases would crack with o report like q
rife and the fierce insects showed a dis
position to attack the horses, fairly
driving them out of the field. We were
informed that a scientific man in Salt
Lake City vas collecting specimens Of
this formidable elephant beetle for
transmission to the various learned in
situations Of the country.-RepeiHe, 23d.

The "FrE POINTS" FOR CHASE Ion
Thursday evening, June 4th, the notori-
u Empire Club was reorganized, and
Isaiah Rynders elected Captain. In re-
turning thanks for the honor, the Cap
tain came out lat-footed and fiat-handed
for Chase, predicting that should his
party have the good sense to nominate
the Ohio Black Republican and misce-
genationist," the Democratic camp fires
would blaze in every town and hamlet
in the land, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. The Captains newly-aedged
zeal in behalf Of the political aspira-
tons Of a " negro-lover" were not suf-
fered to go unrebuked. One speaker
denied that Mr.. Chase was, as Rynders
had asserted, q Democrat dyed in the
wool. On the contrary, he was always
an Abolitionist, and was as much re-
sponsible for the unholy war that had
deluged the country with blood as any
one OF the party with whom he acted.
This speaker declared himself in favor
OF General Mcclellan, the soldier who
laid the plans which General Grant af.
