The Buffalo UnatS.

The African tseste and the insect that
is staying horses and mules by the hun
drcds, in Arkansas, West Tennessee, and
Mississippi, may be similar, but it is evi-
dent that they do not entirely agree III
their selection from the bills OF fare
that Nature presents to them as they fly
The tseste does not attack wild animals;
the gnats attack every wild animal they
can reach, and especially the deer. The
ravages among the latter are well known
to the people on the Arkansas side OF
the river.
These gnats of the southwest are very
small-perhaps, about half the size
of the universal horse.fy. They come
IN the air in countless numbers the air
is full Of them when they appear at all,
and their appearance Is always sudden
and overwhelming. They forthwith set
tie upon every horse, COW, mule, OF
fourfooted animal in sight and Ia this
respect they resemble the tsestes, domcs-
ticated animals being alike the victims
of the two continental pests. They literal
ly cover an animal, owing TO their
immense numbers, and the animal that
is so attacked, say at night, will be dead
in the morning, and swclled TO an cnor-
nous size. Their bite is very poisonous,
causing the wound 10 tester almost as
soon as made. They attack, as we have
stated, wild AM tame animals Indifferent
Iy, but, singularly, they have no APP
petite whatever for human blood.
Their home is in the swamps and low
lands, but this season they have swarm
ed out Of their ancient maarial strong
holds, and spread themselves over the
hills and elevated plateaus. The Enfaula
Times claims that they have appeared
within seven miles of that city, Ia one
Of the Cowikce bottoms. If this toe true,
we may get call from the poisonous
varmints in this State. II any one en-
counters myriad Of small jet black
dies, each of them having hump back or
shoulders, like the buffalo, then be may
know that the genuine buffalo gnat has
arrived. Bat fly without a hump will
not be accepted as the deadly insect from
the Mississippi bottoms. If 1t should
appear, let the cras TANKS, and other
parts Of exposed animals be well coated
with tar or grease, and, if that cannot
be done, let fires be started in the stock
lots. The insects do no relish tar,
grease, or smoke.

Capt. Eads has called around him, in
his construction of the Mississippi
ietties, several o. the most eminent
engineers known in the profession,
among whom is Sir Charles A. Hartley,
of England, from whom he bad cable
dispatch few days ago that he would
soon be in America 10 assist him. q. W.
r. Barley, OF New Orleans, is another
of the engineers. The work OF building
the ietties has been entrusted TO Col.
Andrews, of Pittsburg, who built the
tunnel at st. Louis. The preliminary
surveys are being made, and the work OF
construction Will be commenced ut once.
It is probable that the stone for the work
will be obtained at Yicksburg.

of the ravages of the grasshoppers are
compelled to leave or be absent from
their lands, may also be extended to
pre-emptors where crops have, in like

THE DIVISION OF KANSAS"

TIE "DiflSiUN Oh hANSAS.
The Winfield Courier thinks Kansas is
too large State and is in favor CT cut
ting off all that portion lying west of
the west lire of Range 10. The Courier s
dividing line would strike Peace, in Nc
Pherson county,on the A. T. & S. f. r..
r., and Ellsworth on the K. 2. r. r.
Among the reasons given by the Courier
for the division are the barrenness of
the western lands, lack of water, stone,
TIMBER etc. that it is the highway for
the Indians and the refuge Of outlaws ;
the field for bond swindies, and the
country from which fraudulent delegates
in convention and bogus representatives
come the country from which come the
representatives who are the creatures of
railroad monopolics, etc. While Saline
county would not be be included in the
western division, as proposed by the
Courier, she is western county and
stands by the West. The editor Of the
Courier undoubtedly thinks he produc-
ed some potent reasons for division OF
the State. He has produced black
guard article which no true friend Of
Kansas would think of writing. He
must be poor afflicted sorehead, judg-
ing by the tone OF his article. Either he,
or some favorite of his, must have been
"scorched" in some Of our nominating
conventions by western power and in
fuence.
He calls country barren which con-
tains some of the finest land in the State,
and upon which are year y raised crops
whichtake the first premiums at our State
fairs. He represents that one of the best
watercd districts in the State Is destitute
of water that country in which large
quantities Of stone can be procured
which is almost equal to marble. is destl-
tuto Of stone that country which Is
as heavily tn. oercd as two-thirds OF the
State is destitute Of timber; that a coun-
try which has no catalogue OF Benderism
and which Is filled with people as peac,-
tai, intelligent and law-abiding as any
other portion OF Kansas, is the home OF
outlaws; that country which invariably
elects and instructs representatives to
the Legislature against monopolies;scn1s
members who are creatures OF monopo
lies; that country which has done more
than any other portion OF the State to
put "down and out" corrupt officers who
were elected when the West had no
votes, and has placed honest men in
their places, is the place from which
fraudulent delegatcS.in conventions and
bogus representatives come that Il
country which is new and consequently
labors under some disadvantages, al
though destined to be the best portion OF
Kansas, is not fit to "associAte" With
the "magnanimous, virtuous, East"
The Courier man has evidently never
visited this portion of Kansas, or he
would not talk so wildly-no doubt be
deliberately and knowingly resorts to
misrepresentation. The spleen he OK
hihits in his article is totally unworthy
of a Kansas newspaper man, who loves
his State and ITS people. He would try
to create a feeling between the East and
the West which would end in 4 regular
Kilkenny fight. There may be reasons
for cutting Kansas in two, but the Coar-
ter man has not presented one Of them

According to tho Democratic papers
the "reform party" of this State has
ceased to be. The contest this Fall is
TO be a straight Democratic and Repub-
lican fight, with no bushwhacking. The
know-nothing papers have nearly all
found graves and such dyed in-thc-wool
sheets as the Atchison Patriot and To-
pcha Democrat are making new Dem
ocratic declaration of independence.
We don't know how palatable their
sncers and "insIuneudoes" about the
milk and water party are to those Re
publicans who joined the troupe which
played the great farce Of the last year
or two in our State, but we don't think
such persons ought TO grumbc. It;hcy

was dissected after death. The removal
of the skin disclosed diseased condl-
ton of the flesh, but the muscles were
found to be healthy and immensely de-
yelopcd. AS compared with the great
size of the animal, the brain was found
to be very small, weighing only eight or
ten pounds. whereas the weight of the
brain of an average man is little less
than three pounds. The stomach was
found to be a sac about six feet long,
and the intestines were more than sixty
feet in length, and from six to twelve
inches in diameter. The abdomen was
found to be diseased with tumors, which
were the cause of the death of the AMI
NAL. The heart very much resembled

JEFFERSON DAVIS.

Jefferson Davis was invited to deliver
an address at a county fair in Illinois,
and accepted the invitation. After the
fact became known in the county, there
was much opposition and a determine
tiOn to prevent his coming. DAVIS learn
ed that he was not wanted by portion
of the community, and sent a letter
Withdrawing the appointment. In his
letter he gave as reasons for his wish to
visit the people of the northwest, de-
sire to see in its improved and develop
ed state. a country that he visited years
ago, when it was wilderness and the
home of the savage, and he professed to
be anxious to assist in fraternizing the
different sections of the country embraced
in the Mississippi valley.
Davis reasons seem all very well, but
his desire to visit the West might be
grati6ed by q ride out that way ION
his own hook" as well as by invitation
of county agricultural society, and his
anxiety to make harmony of feeling be-
tween the different sections will be real
lied quicker by letting the people, the
soldiers even, of these sections settle
their preiudices themselves than by any
effort of the great promoter of the
rebellion. There is wonderful mag
nanimity in the American heart, bu

NEGRO INsURRECTIoN.

There is something of an excitement
in Georgia, by the discovery of an arm
ed league among the negroes of several
counties. 1t is reported that they are
about to make war on the whites. and
are to murder Unfortunately. The
whites are making preparations for re-
sistance, and will doubtless murder a
large number under the pretence of self
defence. Somehow it always happens
that the negroes are the only party that
lose blood and life in the disturbance:
which they are said to originate. There
Is probably less to the affair than tn,
present reports indicate, and few dayI
