From the Portland Oregonan.l

When Harper's Ferry surrendered to
"Stonewall' Jackson in September, 1862,
Gen. jackson halted his horse in front of
the 9th Vermont, and, taking off his hat
solemnly said Boys, don't feel bad you
could not help it; it was just as God
wIlled it,"
One Of Jackson's staff asked Col Stan
nard of the 9th Vermont if he had any
thing to drink. Stannard courteously
handed him his flask, and the young Con
federate captain poured out a horn and
arrogantly said Colonel, here is to the
health of the southern Confederacy,"
Stannard answered "To ask and accept
a courtesy Of a prisoner and then insult
him is an act that an honorable soldier
would scorn."
jackson turned on his staff officer and
gave him severe scolding, saying the
repetition of such an insult to n prisoner
would cost him his place. Then turning
TO Col. Stannard Gen Jackson apologized
for the conduct of his offer, saying that il
was an exceptional act of nsolence ON
the part of Il young and reckless man
and, bowling gravely, the famous con
federate captain rode away.

THE DEMocRATIC CONVENTION.

To the Editor of the Free Press:
Mr.. Hiram Atkins of tpelier-with
that rare journalistic urbanity for which
he is noted-refers to my presence during
the recent session of the Democratic State
convention at Montpelier in unfeeling
terms.
In response to kilograms received at Rut-
land few hours preceding, | attended
the convention as press reporter, taking
no part whatsoever in its action. neither
suggesting or opposing any candidate or
measure. The statement in the Argus
that any resolution was drafted by myself
or was in my possession at said convention
lacks even the Semblance of truth. In
accord with large body of Democrats
not for revenue-thrOughout Vermont, |
am constrained to cOnstrue the political
censure of Mr.. Atkins a beneiicence, his
praise, degradation.
His active participation in the political
assemblies of Massachusetts shall not in
cur my reproof or hostility even should he
utterly Danish me from his stronghold,
Montpelier.
Should the Democratic party of Vermont
never attain the prestige gained III New
York, New Hampshire, Massachusetts,

of the party, to whom manhood is more
valuable than spols, can more easily name

Different Species ofInsects that Infest the
Vines,
To the Editor of the Free Press:


To the Editor of the Free Press:
| see by your paper of the Goth that there
is another black bug working its way
East to assist the old striped bug in de
stroying our potato crop. This will make
eleven distinct species of insects preying
upon the potato-plant within the limit of
the United States. Many of these ten
species are confined within certain geo
graphical limits. Their habits and his
tory differ very widely. Some attack the
potato both in the larval state and in the
perfect or winged state others in the per-
feet or winged state alone and others
again in the larval state alone. In the case
of seven of these insects there is but one
single brood every year; while of the re
manning three there are every year from
two to three brOOds. Eight of the ten
feed externally on the leaves and tender
stems of the potato, while two of them
burrOw, like IL borer, exclusively in the
larger stalks. Each of these ten species
has its peculiar insect enemies and a
mode of attack which will prove very sue
Cessful against some Of them will often
turn out to be worthless when employed
against the remainder,
Each female of the true Colorado potato
bug lays about 200 eggs during the sea
son, in about six days. They then de
SCend to the ground where they change
into pupH at the surface of the earth.
The perfect beetle appears about ten to
fourteen days after the pupa is formed,
begins to pair in about seven days, and
on the fourteenth day the female begins
10 deposit her eggs. There are three
broods of this insect every year. Neither
geese, ducks, turkeys, nor barn-yard fowls
will touch the larva of the Colorado pota-
10 bug when it is offered to them.
The ashgray blister beetle is the one
commonly found in the more northerly
part of the northern States, where it usu-
PLY takes the place of the striped blister
beetle. 1t is Of Il uniform ash-gray color
1t attacks not only the potato vines but
also the honey lOcusts and especially the
window bean. In particular years it has
been known, in conjunction with the
rose bug, to swarm upon every apple tree
in some orchards in Illinois, not only eat
ing the foliage but gnawing the younl
apples This beetle does cOnsderabl,
damage to the potato crop in the north
western States. q. II, ALEXANDER.
