Sparta, Wednesday, January 31, 1855.
i§P“Yv r e have received a long manu
script from Capt. John Dickson of this
ounty, hearing date as far back as 1851,
from which we are allowed to select any
tliing we deem proper for publication. At
present our columns are too much crowded
to admit lengthy pieces of any kind, and it
is difficult to do justice to a writer by ma
king selections. We may hereafter b
able to give to our readers some of the hap
py hits which the Captain gives to the po
litical aspirants of ’51, as well as his opin
ions concerning some of the laws and po
litical questions of this country.
Snow.
There was a slight fall of snow at this
place on Tuesday of last week. Sufficient
remained on the ground next morning, to
let some of the boys know how narrowly
they escaped a snow balling.
kable tenacity of life in trees when
properly grafted or budded, we remember
several years since to have seen on the
plantation of Wm. Rachels, Esq., of this
county, a pine tree which had fallen in the
fork of another, living and luxuriating in
the sap it extracted from its supporter, as
far as the top was concerned, while all be
low the fork was dead and in a state of
decay. We are aware that we^have "Writ

The Columbia, (Pa.) Spy states that at
Safe Harbor a few days ago, Mrs. G.
•Johusou and Miss Lewis called at th
house of Mr. Wm. Haney, and whilst
there Mr. H. undertook to fill a fluid lamp
while burning, which exploded and set fire
to the clothing of the ladies. Mrs. John
son ran into the street her clothing com
pletely enveloped in flames which burnt
to a crisp many parts of her body. She
lingered in great agony attended by the
best medical skill till Thursday evening
when she died. Miss Lewis was imme
diately wrapped in a shawl by a gentleman
present and although much burned, she is
considered out of danger.
This case is only one of a thousand, that
has happened in this country with this
dangerous fluid and yet people to save a
few cents annually, and have a light too
brilliant for most eyes, will persist in us
ing what has destroyed so mauy. Millions
of property have also been sacrificed by it,
instance the loss of the Harpers. It is
time legislative action should be taken to
prevent its use, unless as in the ease of
another fell destroyer, it should bo pro
nounced unconstitutional.
countenances such conduct, are the 'freest
from murder, as the Carolinas and the New
England States.
3. The new States are by far more sub
ject to the crimes in question, than the old
ones, and the slave holding than the non
slave holding States.
4. Those States which have passed pro-
hibatory liquor laws, have generally fewer
murders committed in them than others,
5. All things being equal, those
States which have the greatest number Q?
executions have the fewest murders. Con
trast the Carolinas with Georgia and other
Southern States,
As to Georgia, we feel ashamed of (he
comparison, for she is behind all of he?
older sisters, and most new ones. This
result is owing greatly to the miserable
policy of the last, ever to t>0 renowned
legislature. But as bad as she is, she is
far ahead of Texas in this respect, which
has been recently represented, by some of
her citizens (who formerly resided in this
State) as being so exemplary in this re
gard, that they could not fool safe while
sojourning iu this olden laud of Bowie
knives and crime. Unfortunately for their
assertions the statistics show that there are
more than five murders committed in Texas
to one in Georgia while there are moro
than two in Georgia to one in South Car
olina.

are infested with the destructive white ant,
the nests containing,the queen ant will al
ways be found in the immediate neighbor
hood ; and as the destruction of the queen
ant destroys the colony, and this having
been found an effectual remedy whenever
properly applied, there is therefore no, rea
son why aity building should hereafter
suffer from tfiis destructive insect, and in-
structiojns are now given generally for dig
ging up the white ant nests'in the neigh
borhood of all public h.i\Ud.ings. All
officers, civil or military, occujpjfinsf fir
charge of public buildings, being b.el.{J re
sponsible fey the same, it is their duty,, eith
er to take immediate measures for- qiscov-
ing. and digging- \ip white ant nests,
one hundred yards of the building, &nd
destroying the queen ant, or to report t°
the proper authority the existauee of thfi
white ant’nest within that space from the
builing.”
“ The queen ant is ft singular creature.
She js found in every secluded spot of the
nest, • If we dig into the gut hill, we shall
find many rooms, sometimes hundreds of
them, where the ants make their home,—
If wc dig pear the cfentre, w° shall find a
room, shaped liko two saucers put togeth
er, Within this, lies the qpeen. She is
like a white worm, somewhat translucent,
and grows to the enormous size of a man’s
little finger.. - To this body js attached the
natural and small ant. All around her
room are very small entrances about the
size of a pin’s head, and at eapb of these
doors is stationed a scptinal tp guard her
from any insect intruders. These.seuti-
nals are very watchful, and if disturbed,
they show their little nipers, aud if in their
power they will cut their enemy into two
parts, as with a pair seissors.
“ The queen lies quiet, not being able
to move her great body; aud if she were,
she could not get out of her palace: It is
said that the ants bring her food and sup
ply all her wants, while she, months 'after
months, continues to fill up her little
world with her mischievous little brood,”

Graf.ing Fruit Trees.
Now is the time for this operation, which
every farmer and gardener should not fail
to attend to. The process is simple.—
First make a grafting wax, composed of
rosin, tallow and beeswax, equal parts
melted together, take a sharp kuife and
cut from the tree you wish to propagate, a
twig of last year’s growth, with several
healthy buds thereon and sharpen it like
a wedge which should ho inserted into tne
stock split open to receive it and the wax
pressed tightly round, and if on a limb
above ground, carefully tied up with
piece of homespun or old cloth of some
kind. The stock should generally he not
more than one or two years' old, and the
craft to correspond in size, so that the hark
of each should be nicely adjusted to each
other. This is not essential, however, to its
growth, as they will do well when much
smaller and inserted on oue side. The
stock should be cut off below the ground,
iust above the root,and the graft inserted at
that point, the earth heaped up and pack-
h English Hram-j^ abound. By this process nineteen out
of twenty will live if managed properly.
Tins operation of grafting will apply to
most fruit trees of the same species. Ap
ples are the most likely to live, A superb
kind may he grafted on an inferior, and
even if you have old trees in your orchard
which hear sorry fruit saw off all the limbs
and insert, a good hud in each, in a few
years you will have a first rate tree of the
best fruit. If you have no apple scions,
craft on this crab apple, and by grafting
low and heaping the earth around, the
cnaft will take root, and you can cut off
the crab root when you transplant if you
choose. If you have no stocks to graft on
you may propagate choice fruit by cutting
limbs of last years’ growth from the tree,
about two feet long, dig a trench nearly a
foot deep, and bury one end, then dig an
other trench about as deep, and bend oi er
and bury the other end, so as to leave out
two or three buds in the middle of the cut-
If the ground is. moist and rich, bj
; down l number you ma>get some
to live, which will answer without the
grafting process. _
Almost any tree of the same species will
live when grafted on each other. The
peach, plumb, and nectarine, will answer
for each other. The pear upon the quince
will bear several years sooner than on the
pear itself. As. an evidence of the remar

Support jour own Mechanics.
The following sensible remarks which
we fiud in spine of our exchanges, we
transfer to our columus aud would earnest
ly commend them to our readers in this
place and the State at large.
There is no truth more undeniable than
that it is the bounden duty of every com
munity to support’ its mechanics. They
are a worthy and indispensable class of
men and we find no town or village flou
rishing without their aid. Indeed their
presence or absence is always a true index
of the condition of a place—whether it
is advancing in wealth and importance or
sinking into decay. Whenever we pass
though a village and hear the frequent
sound of the carpenter’s hammer the clink
of the blacksmith’s anvil—that village we
say to ourselves is flourishing. It cannot
be otherwise for the producers are actively
employed and outnumber the consumers
Whenever and wherever this is the case
the people are growing wealthy and at the
same time training the rising generation,
to habits of industry and morality. Where
if a eity or village pursue the opposite of
this course—^neglects its mechanics and
supports those of some foreign town—
those who can will he compelled to go to
some other place and those who are ooin-
Killed by tiie force of circumstances to
rciitaiu will become idle and profligate
they will cease to produce aud be con
sumers—in a few years tlnsy become beg-
cars and their children ignorant aud vi
olins.
If there is any truth in the assertion
, that we ought as a nation to give the pre-1 sign now known throughout the world
J fai ence to domestic manufactures the fact j tne American Flag. The flag was not

part of those unacquainted Wgh t he business,

ces now paid for living.
The necessary capital invested in Tools,
Machines, and Stock, to carry on successfully
a mnnuiacto.ring.establishment of this kind in
a small village is quite large, and unless a lib
eral concentrated patronage is bestowed, to
gether with fair remunerative prices, it is im-
posible to succeed. This has been my expe

ting on the piazza of the Catarac; House,
at Niagra Falls, was a young, foppish look
ing gentleman, his garments very highly
scented with a mingled order of eologne
aud musk. A solemn-faced, odd-looking
man, aftor passing tlis dandy several times,
with a look.of aversicn which drew gener
al notice , suddently stopped, and, in a
confidental tone, said ; “ Stranger, I know
what’ll take that scent out of your clothes;
you—” “ What do you mean, sir? said
the exquist, fired with indignation, start
ing from his chair. “ Oh, get mad, now;
swear, pitch round, fight, just because a
man wants to do you a ‘kindness !” coolly
replied the stranger. “ But I do know
what’ll take out that smell—phew ? You

We have a few inferences to make from
this table, which we hope may result in
good by showing what good laws energeti
cally executed may accomplish, and on the
other hand what is to be expected as the
result of had legislation.
1. Those States which have no laws
against carrying concealed weapons, ( and
where public opinion seems to throw every
man on his own protection, have -suffered
the most from-the crime of murder, as
California, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi
&@r
2, Those States which have stringent
-Ilaws on this subject and public opinion dis-
means in his power support and foster the
mechanics of his village and as they be
come more wealthy their custom will, in
crease especially in those articles on which
he makes the greatest profits for it is
undeniable that as men become more
wealthy they also become more luxuri
ous and no mearehaut will deny that
articles of luxury always affords the gratest
profits. The habit of improting large
quantities of cheap and half made arti
cles of .competition with our village nie-
chauics is short sighted and wrong both
as regard the mechanic and consumer ;
and if the merchants would look further
into the operation of things he would find
that he crossed the path of his own in
terest by doing so. Let the merchant
bring the cause to his own door and he
perhaps may better understand it; suppose
that every individual who possesses the
means aud who uses in his family four
or five hundred dollars worth of goods
per annum should instead of buying of
him at retail go to some city wholesale
establishment and purchase his year’s
supply—would he not in bitterness con
demn such an illiberal course and would
he not say to him with truth that he was
warring against his own interest by des
troying the business of his town aud giving
it to anpther; and that his littlepess
would react upon him in double fold by the
decrease of his property and business !—
So, in the case above instanced, could the
mechanic say the same to the merchant

less j
than twenty-one members of Congress j
and officers of the army were united in the
selection of the ensign. The colors of
the flag—red, white mid blue—were
adopted for the reasons that white denotes
purity and innocence; red, hardness and
valor*; blue vigilance perseverance and
justice, The strips are the pales of he
raldry. The constellation of stars in the
field of blue denote a new state or nation
taking its place among the independent
powers of the earth. The resolution of
Congress adopting the ensign was officially
announced September 3d, 1777. The flag
was used for the first time in the army at
the surrender of Burgoyne October 17th
1777. The flag was unchanged till May
1795 when the number of stars was in
creased to fifteen to represent the number
of States. Iu 1818, the flag was again
altered, and a returns was made to the
thirteen stripes as it was found that the
flag would become unwieldy if a stripe
was added on tho admission of each new
State. The resolution of Congress affec
ting this change was iu the following
words : l( Be it enacted, Ac., that from
and after-the fourth day of July next the
flag Qf the- United States ho thirteen hori
zontal stripes alternate red and white :
that the union he twenty stars, white iu a
blue field. And that on the admission of
a new State into the Union, one star be
added to the union of the flag : and that wldch *.c>will

The White Ant of India.
The following account of the white ant
was communicated by Dr, Scuddep, of
Madras®. One of the most intercstisng of
the curiosities in the cabinet at the Mis
sionary House is what has something the
appearance of a bundle of small twigs, of
uniform size, with the bark striped off, but
which in fact is the remains of a section of
one of the largest timbers of a house,
which was brought into this shape by this
destructive insect:
Oue of the most destructive little
creatures in India is the while ant, which
is about the size of our American black
ant. It is impossible to preserve wood
flours if they can get at them. They will
go through walls, even to the tops of the
houses, and destroy the timbers there. It
is said that the queen ant is always to be
found in the neighborhood of a house in
fested by white ants, though not under it,
apd that her destruction causes that of her
subjects. Many years ago, Dr. Carey in
variably dug up the ground in the
neighborhood of any building so infested,
and killed the queen, and the plan proved
in every instance successful.
