already shown, and for no other than
the simple reason that they remained
loyal to the United States Government,
in preference to turning traitor, that
Gen. Powell should not be chosen SIM
plylbecauseh he was good fighter. Such
an Idea originated in the mind or minds
of those who, since the close of the war.
have no particular use for soldiers, and
who were not soldiers themselves
during the fierce and terrible contest
for the preservation of our Government.
We do not claim that Gen. Powell
should be chosen as United States Sena-
ator, upon the simple qualification Of
having proved himself TO have been
Good Fighter" and whilst it is no dis
gree to the Geneal TO be regarded by
his friends, and much more so by his
enemies, a "good fighter" there are
other reasons why his case should be
carefully considered, and why he
should be preferred for the position in
question.
Among these may be mentioned his

Identification with sthe manufacturing
interests of our State is reason OF the
greatest importance for the selection OF
General Powell as Senator, as our State
must look for her growth in wealth and
population, to the promotion and en-
lGrgement of these interests.
In regard to the personal fitness of
General Powell, il may be said that his
rapid advance from the rank of Captain
unaided by money or family influence,
through all the grades of Major, Colo

jor General, would seem TO evidence
the possession of high capacity; and 1s

be added that Gen. Powell is Il resident

The Sugar Insect.

A detailed description of this insect,
technically called "AcGrus SacchGrt,"
is given by MIR. Robert Niccol, Green
ock, Scotland, with a magnitied engrav.
ing of the tiny animal, as found in the
Journal of the Franklin Institute.

varieties of pulse and edible roots suffer
in like manner, and even drugs-rhu-
barb, Opium, tobacco, &c.-are exposed
to these dcpredations. Sugar planters
have cause to dread the attacks of Il
kind of ant, also n species OF mole
cricket, and an aphis, which attacks the
cane, and either destroys it entirely
or interferes greatly with its growth.

exceedingly great, and in no instance
is the article quite free from either the

rate of AZ, 900 per pound; and DIR. Baker
estimates no fewer than 400 in forty

We have yet to learn what effects on
the health follow the taking of these
minute insects into the stomach. Prof.
Cameron runs a parallel between bad
water and raw sugar, as he does between
pure water and refined sugar, leaving
the consumers of the article to draw

SIR: Some certificates of the loan of

January 5, 1869.
We have ever condemned the use of
any of the fancy colored inks in writ
ing, not so much for the reason that we
supposed they were less permanent
than black, of which we know nothing,
but because the writing in ink OF any
other color than black is more difficult
to read, and more trying to the eyes.
This may seem a matter of little conse-
quence to those who read only letter
occasionally, but in a daily, or even a
weekly newspaper office, where the
reading of MSS. is business, 1t is a
matter of grave importance; and some
few years ago when blue, green, purple
and other fancy colored inks were more
common fortunately than they are
at present, we we're forced to publicly
announce to correspondents, that to
ensure the reading of their cOmmunl-
cations they must be in black ink. AS
a matter oftaste we think any sensible,
thinking man would prefer black to
any other color, the. contrast on the
white paper being greater. There can
be no excuse or apology for using any
other than black ink in the public oh-
