A gentleman ir.formed us tins morning, that the fame deftruAiyc fpecics of Cater, pillar, as that which has committed such xavagss to the fourhward, has made its ap pearence, in countless numbers, on Elk- Ridge, in a field of wheat belonging to him. Hi is of opinion, that if they attack the stalk or head of the wheat, with the fume rapacity they have the blade, that out of 600 bulhcls with which he was tantalized with the profpeft, he would not be able to cut a Angle buftiel. It has also made its appearance in other neighboring fields* but the extent of the aftual *r probable mifchict* ij nor yet afeertained. F. Gazette. "AUGUSTA, ytine 28.

YANKEE. FOR THE CHRONICLE. IT is too much the custom among us, at this time, as it has been in all former ages, to form our opinions, fcom the opinions of cotemporary authors, who have gained fotnc celebrity by the ufeful and ingenious works that they have pubiifhed. Instead ot depen ding upon the evidence of cur own senses, and thus drawing oar observations from nature, wcrelinquifh tnem, and adopt with out reason and without reflexion, the vague ©pinions ot men whose senses arenas liable to deceive them, as ours arc to deceive us, and whose veracity, is fornetimss excrcnwly doubtful. I know of nothing in which this blind Itupidity is more coiifptcoous, thin in the practice which has became so prevalent among us, of wearing flannel next to the (kin, in fominer. This, to be fore, is re commended in a 1 most all cases, oy many of the most approved modern authors on medi cine 5 but it docs not follow from this, that it is always proper. Authors too frequently cony from others, instead of cop} ing from nature ; but I think there is some absurdity in their reasoning on this fobjtft. It ,s very well known to Physicians of geni us and observation, that an exceffivc deter, ruination of the fluids of the human body towards the external fat face, is frequently extremely debilitating. It is also well known, that many people have too great a determination of their fluids towards the ex temal furface of the body, and are frequently very much debilitated by it; and tt is like wise well known that the praftice m wearing flannel next to the (kin, has the ctfeft of taking off the determination of the fluids fiom the internal furfaccs, k throwing them upon the external. r Hence it follows as a nedeUary conic (pence, that in all cases where debility and 1 diseases depending upon il, are occasioned by * \ a fupcrabiuiftjnce of £ ;id matter, eliminated from the body by the cutaneous cmunftorics, the wealing of P.annel malt be exceedingly pernicious, <u it will increase this morbid determination of the fluids, which has alrea dy been so great as to occalion diseases. But in certain diseases, as the dyfentafy, diatrhoa Sr:, which arc supported by a too great determination of the fluids towards the internal fucfaces, the wearing of flannel next to the ikin, will draw <%IF this morbid determination from the internal, and throw it upon the external parts of the body, and of confluence remove one very great taufc of the continuance of diseases of this kind. It appears to me that there is nothing more • ridiculous, and injurious to health, than the practice which prevails anlung many healthy and rohuft perlbns, of keepinglthcm felves bundled up in flannel in the heat of fuminer. Mod persons, I believe in the summer are debilitated, mwre or lefsf by excdßve perspiration $ admitting this to be correCl, how absurd muil it be to increase this perspiration by wearing flannel. Flan nel (hirts in the winter, when peifpiraiion is apt to be defective, arc undoubtedly very proper, for many who ate ofunexpofed to th; inclemency of the weather; but to peo ple whole confutations arc vigorous and healthy, and who arc not much exposed to the vit.iihuides of heat and cold, 1 believe flmnel to be debilitating, and confcfjucmly injurious to health, L might fay a great deal more on the im propriety of making use of flannel next t> the Ik in, in all cases, and might give a hiiiwry of a number of cases in which it has nnnifelUy been injurious to health, and when the leaving of it ofif, has been of infi nite fcrvice; but my limits will not permit . r»c to do this at prefetit.
