AaßgggL THRILL. THE ARMY WORM. Wc find in the last St. Martinsville Ga zette, an article of the Franklin Republi can, in which it is stated that the Army \V ’orm dies as soon as it receives its full growth, which is about an inch in length, and that its nature is “something similar to that of the silkworm.” The whole of this statement is false. The silkworm does not die when it receives its full growth. It changes to tho chrysalis state, then pierces its cocoon which envelopes it, comes forth a moth, lays its eggs and dies So it is with the army worm. The egg from which it is hatched by the heat of the sun, is de posited on the tender leaves of the plant.— In this climate the egg hatches very soon, the caterpillar eats ravenously and grows fast. Instead of weaving a soft covering such as that of the silkworm, it seeks a place of concealment in the earth, when it casts offits skin and assumes the chrysalis or nymph form. Thus it remains until it comes forth, a moth or butterfly, the follow ing season. Some insects pass two or three years in the state of larva and chrysalis, but whose existence in the winged state, is limited to a few hours.—When ploughing ground, immense quantities of the army worm pupa are sometimes seen, but few persons imagine that if not destroyed by the birds which follow the plough, they will a gain be disinterred in time to destroy the entire crop. Our belief is that wc shall always be subject to the ravages of this worm, and that they will increase rather than diminish because, as land is now better drained than formerly the worm in the chrysalis state will be more likely to survive the winter, but more particularly, because the number cf birds which fall a prey to the sportsman, i3 yearly increasing. Black birds and rice birds are known, during the ploughing sea son, to feed on those grubs, each one of which would otherwise produce its hundred fold. It is said of the crow, that “he des troys at least five hundred pernacious grubs and insects for every grain of corn which he pillages from man.” It is thought by by some that we of the South need no legis lation in regard to birds, because they are eo numerous. Insects are proportionably numerous, and this State is as much in need of legislative enactments on the subject as any other.— American Farmer. WATER-PROOF DUBBING FOR LEATHER. Keep your feet dry and head cool. —To it'Wider leather water-proof, and at the same time to preserve its elasticity, is a matter of great importance, as it increases its du rability. and protects those who apply it to shoes or boots from the mischievous effects arising from damp or wet feet. The fol lowing receipt followed out carefully, it is believed, will effect this object. Take a pint of linseed oil, two ounces of bees-wax, two ounces of spirits of turpen tine, and a half an ounce of Burgundy pitch, and slowly melt them together, con tinuing to stir them so as thoroughly to in corporate them, being careful not to set the mass on fire, as the ingredients are all com bustible. When this compound cools, it will be found to bo about as elastic as leath er ought to be. If it were harder, it would cause the leather to crack or break when bent; and if it were softer, water would en ter and wash it out. To apply it, re-melt it, warm the shoes or boots, and put it on with a small brush or a sponge, or piece of cloth tied on the end of a stick ; continue to warm it in till the leather is well saturated with it, and particularly the bottoms of the coles and heels. It should always be ap plied when the boots or shoes are new, and then lay them by to season some time be fore wearing. Leather thus treated will be found impervious to water, and will wear twice as long as that to which it has not been applied. The writer has used this article for many years, and can testify to the great benefits derived from it; and he has no doubt but his shoe-maker’s bill has been reduced to one half by the use of this composition ; and what has been saved by doctors’ bills he is unable to estimate. Common grease applied to leather tends to rot it, and it is soon washed out in wet weather.— Farmer’s Cabinet. O. WASPS THE FIRST PAPER-MA KERS. The wasp is a paper maker, and a most perfect and intelligent one. While man kind were arriving by slow degrees, at the art of fabricating this valuable substance, the wasp was making it before their eyes, by very much the same process as that by which human hands now manufacture it with the best aid of chemistry and machine ry. While some nations carved their re cords on wood, and stone, and brass, and leaden tablets, —others more advanced, wrote with a style on wax, —others em ployed the inner bark of trees, and others the skins of animals rudely prepared, —the wasp was maufacturing a firm and durable paper. Even when the papyrus was ren dered more fit, by a process of art, for the transmission of ideas in w riting the wasp wa3 a better artisan than the Egyptians ; for the early attempts at papermaking were so rude that the substance produced was al most useless, from being extremely friable. The paper of the leaves of the plant dried, pressed and polished ; the wasp alone knew how to reduce vegetable fibres to a pulp, and then unite them by a size or glue, sprea ding the substance out into a smooth and delicate leaf. This is exactly the process cf paper-making. It would seem that the wasp knows, as the modern paper-makers row know that the fibres o: rags, w hether linen or cotton, are not the only materials that can be used in the formation of paper ; she employs other vegetable matters, con verting them into a proper consistency by her assiduous exertions. In some respects sho is more skilful even than our paper-ma kers, for she takes care to retain her fibres of sufficient length, by which she renders her paper as strong as she requires. Ma ny manufacturers of the present day cut their material into small bits, and thus pro duce a rotten article. One great distinc tion between good and bad paper is its toughness; and this difference is invaria bly produced by the fibre of which it is com posed being long, and therefore tough; or short and therefore friable. The wasp has been labouring at her man ufacture of paper, from her first creation, with precisely the same instruments and the same materials ; and her success has been unvarying. Her machinery is very simple, and therefore it is never out of or der. She learns nothing, and she forgets nothing. Men, from time to time, lose their excellence in particular arts and they arc slow in finding out real improvements. Such improvements are often the effect of accident. Paper is now manufactured ve ry extensively by machinery, in all its sta ges ; and thus instead of a single sheet be ing made by hand, a stream of paper is poured out, which would form a roll large enough to extend round the globe, if such a length were desirable. The inventors of this machine, Messrs. Fourdriner, it is said spent the enormous sum of 40,000/. in vain attempts to render the machine capable of determining with precision the width of the roll ; and, at last accomplished their object at tile suggestion of a bystander, by a strap revolving upon an axis, at a cost of 3 shil lings and sixpence. Such is the difference between the workings of human knowledge and experience, and those of animal in stinct. We proceed slowly and in the dark —but our course is not bounded by a nar row line, for it seems difficult to say what is the perfection of any art ; animals go clearly to a given point—but they can go no further. We may, however, learr. some thing from their perfect knowledge of what is within their range. It is riot improbable that if man had attended in an earlier state of society to the labours of wasps, he would have sooner known how to make paper.— We are still behind in our arts and scien ces, because we have not always been ob servers. If we had watched the operations of insects, and the structure of animals in general, with more care, we might have been far advanced in the knowledge of ma ny arts, which are yet in their infancy, for nature has given us abundance of patterns. EXPEDIENT OF A NEEDY TRAV ELLER. j We have heard the story of an English half-pay officer living at Florence, much in debt, and desirous to get to England, but unable to procure his passport, without which he could not be permitted to depart, on account of the interference of his credi tors. lie one day, in a coffee-house, fell to abusing the Grand Duke in very outrageous terms, in consequence of which he was next day conducted to the Tuscan frontier by a police officer. The following expedient, related by a London paper, is much less obvious and more ingenious : John Kilburn, a person well known or. the turf, as list seller, &e., was in a town in Bedfordshire, and as a turf phrase is, “ quite broken down.” It was during har vest, and the week before Richmond races, (Yorkshire.) whither he was travelling, and near which town he was born ; to ar rive therein time he hit upon the following expedient: He applies to an acquaintance of his, a blacksmith, to stamp on a padlock the words “ Richmond gaol,” with which, and a chain fixed to one of his legs, he com posedly went into a cornfield to sleep. As lie expected, he was soon apprehended, and taken before a magistrate, who, after some deliberation, ordered two constables to guard him to Richmond ; no time was to be lost, for Kilburn said he had not been tried, and hoped they would not let him lay till another assize. The constables, on their arrival at the gaol, accosted tho gaoler with “ Sir, do you know this man ?” “ Y'es, ve ry well: it is Kilburn ; I have known hirn for many years.” “We suppose he has broken out of your gaol, as ho has a chain and padlock on with your mark ; is he not a prisoner?” “ I never heard any harm of him in my life.” “ Nor,” says Kilburn, “ have these gentlemen, sir; they have been so kind as to bring me out of Bedford shire, and I will not put them to further in convenience. I have got the key of the padlock, and I will not trouble them to un lock it; lam obliged to them for their kind behavior.” He travelled this way about 170 miles. ROASTING A MAN TO DEATH. We copy the following account of an a bominable outrage from the N. O. Picayune of Aug. 14: Some four weeks ago, a young man named Riley, a member of the Marion Ri fles, and employed by a merchant in Com mune street, left this city for the purpose of seeing some friends in Bayou Sara. He made an agreement with the officers of the United States, going up to St. Louis, to pay part of his passage in money, and to assist in wooding. On the first night that he star ted, he was called up; but having indulged rather freely in liquor with his friends in New Orleans previous to embarking, he felt sick and fatigued, and refused to obey the summons. The mate and engineer of the boat swore that he should do as he pro mised, and he still refusing, they took him by the heels and dragged him somewhere near the mouth of the oven, or at least so near that he fell by the fire. Being much intoxicated, he laid there until his back and neck were burnt in a horrible manner. Someone or two of the passengers, seeing him in this situation, removed him to his berth, where, and espite of their treatment, he 1 died in three or four hours afterwards.— The officers then wished to bury the body on shore, hut the passengers insisted upon having him taken up to Natchez, where an inquest was held and a verdict given in ac cordance with the above facts. Tho steam boat immediately pushed up the river.— Yesterday, a letter was received by his friends in this city, informing them of the nature of his death.” WM. A.

PROSPECTUS. rgl HE Publishers of the New-York Tribune, ~S~ encouraged by the generous patronage and hearty approval which has been extended to their Daily paper since its establishment, and which has already rendered it the second in point of cir culation in the city, propose to publish, on and j after the 18th day of September, a Weekly edi- i tion, on a sheet of mammoth size, excluding all matter of local or transitory interest, and ealeu- ■ lated mainly for Country circulation. The Tribune —whether in its Daily or Week ly edition—will be what its name imports—an unflinching supporter of the People’s Rights and Interests, in stern hostility to the errors of super ficial theorists, the influences of unjust and im perfect legislation, and the schemes and sophis tries of self-seeking demagogues, ft will stren uously advocate the Protection of American Industry against the grasping and to us blight ing policy of European Governments, and the un equal competition which they force upon us, as also against tiie present depressing system of State Prison Labor ; it will advocate the resto ration of a sound and uniform National Cur rency ; and urge a discreet but determined pro secution of Internal Improvement. The Re trenchment, wherever practicable, of Govern ment Expenditures and of Executive Patronage, will be zealously urged. In short, this paper will faithfully maintain and earnestly advocate the Principles and Measures which the People approved in devolving on Whig Statesmen the conduct of their Government. But a small portion, however, of its columns will be devoted to purely Political discussions. The proceedings of Congress will be carefully recorded; the Foreign-and Domestic Intelligence early and lucidly presented ; and whatever shall appear calculated to promote Morality, maintain Social Order, extend the blessings of Education, or in any way subserve the great cause of Hu man Progress to ultimate Virtue, Liberty and Happiness, will find a place in our columns. ‘The Weekly Tribune will be published eve ry Saturday morning in Quarto form on a very large imperial sheet, (31 by 42 inches,) and af forded to Subscribers at TWO DOLLARS a year. Six copies will be forwarded a year for Ten Dollars, Ten copies for Fifteen Dollars, and any larger number in the latter proportion. Pay ment in advance will be invariably required, and the paper stopped whenever the term of such payment expires. Subscriptions are respectfully solicited bv GREELEY & McELRATH, 30 Ann-st.

PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION A FULL REPORT OF THE GEOLOGICAL & AGRICULTURAL SURVEY OF THF STATiE ©!F rjnilE Legislature, at their last session, deem- A ed it expedient to discontinue the salary of the State Geologist, in consequence ot the em barrassed finances of the State. By this unex pected movement, the subscriber is deprived of the means of completing the survey ot the State, on the original plan: if done at ail, it must be at individual risk and expense. It is needless, perhaps, to represent to the en lightened citizens of Georgia, tliat by following out the plan so happily commenced in 1837, and pursued witli unremitting energy to the present, tiie State has been contributing her mite, hum ble as it may be on the part of her agent, to the cause of general science in our country, and the advancement of intellectual improvement among her citizens, in accordance with other States ot’ the Union. There is but one alternative. In the present situation of the survey, the work must either be abandoned and the important informa tion obtained by four years investigation of the Geology of the State, lost to her citizens, or the ! subscriber must depend for support, on individ ual patronage. He is determined to make an ef fort for the benefit and honor ot his adopted State, to proceed with the survey. From former ex perience of the unbounded liberality and gene rous hospitality of his fellow citizens, in differ ent parts of the State, he is confident that, in making an appeal to their sympathy and patron age, it will not be made in vain. That a complete survey may be made of the re maining counties of the State, and tiie whole consolidated and published for the information and benefit of the citizens, public patronage is most respectfully solicited. A work of this kind, is much needed in Georgia, a State comprising an area of sixty thousand square miles, being destitute of a single correct Map, Geography, or history of the same. A majority of the citizens must, from necessity, be unacquainted with the rich mineral resources and agricultural capaci ties of the different sections. Favored as the subscriber has been, by four years labor, as State Geologist, in different parts of the State, in collecting materials for a complete report ot an Agricultural and Geological survey and Na tural History, he trusts that he shall be able to meet the approbation of his fellow citizens.
