DEBATE IN THE CONNECTICUT
LEGISLATURE, ON THE DESTRUCTION
OP SMALL BIRDS.
The following bill having been introduced,
viz t
•‘That any person who shall shoot,or in
any other manner kill, destroy, eiitrap, ensnare,
or otherwise capture upon lands not owned or
occupied by himself, any of the following birds,
viz: robiu, blue bird, swallow, martin or swit,
mght or muaquito hawk, whip-poor-will, cuc
koo, king bird, wake-up or high-hole, wood
pecker, cat-bird, long-tailed thrush, or brown
thrasher, monrning dove, meadowlark or marsh
quail, fire-bird or summer red bird, spider-bird
or wax-bird, ground-robin or chewheat, bobo-
iink or nee—bird, sparrow, yellow-bird or phebe,
shell be punished by a fine not exceeding five
dollars," •
On its second reading, there appeared to be
in some quarters a disposition to ridicule the
bill, as scarcely worthy the attention of so dig
nified a body, and the whole matter was spoken
of as “small game.” On the third reading,
Mr. Andrews of New-Britain, endeavored to
give a different turn to the debate, and the feel
ing of members on the subject.
Mr Andrews said ho rose for the purpose of
moving to add to the list of birds to be protect
ed by this bill, the names of several others
which had been omitted. He spoke of the
great value and interest of the race of birds, not
only on nccount of their beautiful plumage’and
delightful melody, but as forming a most im
portant link in that chain by wb»ch the whole
visible creation was united, and the compara
tive numbers of the various races of animals
duly regulated. They are designed to act a
most important partin the economy of nature
by holding in check the tendency of the insect
species to increase to myriads, and, like the lo
custs of the East, to sweep from the earth, ev
ery vestige of the vegetable creation That
such a tendency to increase on the part of the
insect tribes actually existed, and that without
the requisite checks the whole earth would be
laid waste by them, was sufficiently apparent to
all who had deeply reflected on the subject.
But among the checks to this increase, none
were probably more important or efficacious
than the feathered songsters of the fields and
groves. Ever in motion, with keen eye and
eager appetite, they were every moment seiz
ing upon their prey as it lurked beneath the
bark of the trees, or crept over leaf or flower,
and thus kept in check the most destructive
enemy with which the farmer or florist was
called to contend. But while thus engaged as
the farmer's most efficientco-adjutor and friend,
it was his misfortune almost everywhere to be
treated like an enemy, and even to be persecu
ted for the acts which redounded most to the
benefit of man. Mr. A. remarked that several
years since, while travelling in western Caro
und and Virginia he passed through a forest
where the timber on some hundreds of acres
was all dead and decaying. Inquiry was made
of a countryman respecting the cause of this
devastation. He replied that the trees had been
killed by utod-oetkats, which had been increas
ing in that neighborhood for some years,
though they had killed as many of them as nos
sible, it was all to little purpose; that th ev were
continually pecking the trees, until the whole
forest, far and wide, was destroyed. This was
a good exemplification of what our farmer*
and their sons were constantly dolnv Theol I
woodpeckers had doubtless
er by the myriads of wood-worms, the gtub of
J 8 JL U £ rC r!?’ a ? d ° ther in,ects bred beneath
the bark of the forest trees, and which were at
denoMUef ttg rl Sed h n u er , OUr,l,g thft *® sh wood
deposited nnder the bark of tko*e trees. The
real enemy was concealed from sight, and She
friend who was searching wit and destroying
this eneasy, wherever im keen ear detected
their stealthy gnawing., was taken, liketlmmeor

£™t V T« < i!. er r *. adj to - Mw through the
furrowed field, and aeia© upon the worm
whose secret mischief was disturbed by the un
expected inroad of the ploughshare. Through
every day of the long summer he plied his
useful laber, but alas for his safety! it was said,
that sometimes in the early spuing, while
searching for the grubs, which would «oon, if
not detected, destroy the buried, corn, he meets
with afow-a very few—kesnels of that corn,
whteh his efforts are tending tp protect, and in
continently devours them, Mr. A. wished that,
notwithstanding this sin, of ignorance eni tlia
Jart of this useful bind*, he could see. in foe
louse a disposition t» protect his \ify from the
wanton stacks everywhere made upon it;
bat be feared to propose it, lest it should bring
foe ether litUa songsters into danger from being
found associated in the same bill with a bird
that had suffered so much it*, his good name.
He would, however, venture to propose to add
the wood-pecker and a few other confessedly
harmless tenants of our fields and forests.
Mr. Boardman of New Haven.— It was
•ome eminent genius, I think Goethe, who said,
“ The works of nature are ever to me a freshly
uttered word of God” I sympathize earnestly
in that sentiment, We are everywhere over
whelmed with the proofs of the power and
goodntea of that God who has made all nature
Uwtfytoth. eye ami music to the ear. Our
brilliant sun, eur pure, clear air, which oven
Maly cannot surpass; eur gorgeous sunsets;
the dark luxuruuwe ofour forests; the rich and
varied products of our teeming soil, are ever
objects es grateful contemplation, in the morn
ing dawn or evening twilight. At auch mo
ments nothing so fills ;he heart with gratitude,
and often the eye with tears, as the free, joyous
singing of the birds in the gardon It stirs the
purest, gentlest, sweetest sympathies of our
nature. It civilizes and refines the heart—and
if I were desirous of educating a youth for
happiness and usefulness, I would begin and
never cease teaching him to admire and love
the beautiful and wenderful works of God.
Mr. Howe, of Hartford, said—if there is one
propensity which I would eradicate from the
breasts of my children, it is that which leads
them to destroy the feathered warblers which
requentour fields and parks, or our gardens;
and while I would not unreasonably abridge the
sports or pastime of my friends from our coun
try towns, I ask them confidently, sir, to aid us
in the passage of such laws as will enable large’
towns, so fortunate as to have parks, or pri
vate individuals residing in them so much bless
ed as to have grounds attached to their resi
dences, that the little sengsters that frequent
them may be protected from the ruthless hand
of the destroyer, and thus be preserved, one of
the dearest and most ennobling accompani
ments to oar earthly residence, that God has
given us.
Mr. Burr, of Killingsworth, moved to erase
the long-tailed thrush, as he was an arrant corn
thief.
Mr. Boardmar.—lhopenotsir. The thrush
is the sweetest of our singers, the prima donna
of eur troupe When he sings with a full
heart the whole air is filled to intoxication with
his gushing molody. He is greatly superior to
the nightingale of England, and even the Swe
dish Nightingale herself has listened to him
with perfoot admiration and despair. Coaid I
have every thrush in the State on my own
grounds, most cheerfully would I feed them
1 fora tithe of the melody that they furnish the
fentlemen of Killingsworth every day. Mr.
lurr replied that he was well aware that the
thrush was one of foe sweetest songsters in na
ture’s grand choir, yet it was nevertheless true,
that he was a great annoyance to the farmer;
and he was therefore reluctantly compelled to
move to strike ont his name.
Mr. Andrews of New Britain, said that
though he was a fanner, and the son of a farm
er, he had never heard anything said until this
morning, against the character of the thrush.
In his part of the State this beautiful bird here
an excellent reputation, and if, in any other sec
tion, he had lapsed into dishonest habits, it
must have been because in those sections he
had fallen into bad company. He should be
T6 !3r SOrr * se * b,tn Btr ikeu from the bill.
Mr. Boardman.—One word more, Mr.
Speaker. A great diversity of opinion exists
among farmers concerning the depredations
committed upon their crops by birds. A law
was once enacted in Virginia offering a bounty
for the destruction of the crows that destroyed
their corn. A war of extermination followed,
and the extermination of the corn also; for in
many districts the ravages of the worms were
sueh, after the removal of the crows, that the
farmers would gladly have paid bask their mon
ey, if they could have established the dynasty
of theerows again. J
Mr. Burr again insisted that the thrash was
the cause of much mischief in the farmer’s corn
fields, and appealed to the farmers present to
sustain his position.
Mt* Benton Guilford said he was one of
the farmers appealed to, and ha desired to say
be had never heard the thrush evil spoken of
—he was of opinion that if they disturbed the
corn in Killingsworth, it was because the lands
W ™ Bo ,P° orit would not produce worms.
Mr. 1 rum bull of Stonington remarked that
this law did not restrain people from killing
birds on their own lands, but was designed to
curtail the liberties of those lawless intruders,
who are fired with insatiable ambition to de
stroy harmless birds on other’s premises.
Amendment lost.
~M 9 s , GOO »» •fPomfret moved to insert the
black-bird.
Mr. Boardman said that although he believ
edthe black-bird to be one of the farmer’s best
mends, still his bad reputation, if the amend
ment was adopted, might tend to defeat the
Dill.
Amendment adopted.
Mr. Osgood moved to amend further by in

to the poaching propensities of certain profess
ional hunters, who go strolling over other peo
ple s premises, banging away at everything,
and thus endangering the lives of the people in

Some one thought the Quail already protect*
ed by foe laws respecting game—if it was not,
it ought by all means to be inserted in the bill.

PRUHtNO. ‘
A writer in Downing’s Horticulturist, who
has adopted the signature of “ Old Digger,”
thus folks es pruning:
It is qufoe wonderful what a passion somo
me-n have for what they call pruning trees, and
w’aat I call murdering them by inches. Only
T put a knife or saw into their hands, and a tree
before them, and you will see that it is only be
cause they were not born Caliphs of Bagdad,
their neighbors have any heads left on their
shoulders. Gardeners from the “ auld coun
trie,” especially all such as have served their
time behind a wheel-barrow, are mighty fond of
this sort of thing. One es these “gintlemen”
was lopping off and utterly despoiling the nat
ural ways of a fins linden tree lately. When
he was cross- questioned a little as* to what
he was about, ruining the tree in that manner,
he replied—“ Bless your sewl—l’m only litting
the hair intil it!” But, in fact, many a better
gardener than this Paddy—many a man who
has done as good things in the gardening way
in Great Britain, as can be dene any where in
the world, is placed in the same awkward fix
when he comes into a country with a dry, hot
climate, like the United States. All his fife long
has he been busily learning how te “ let the air
in” to the top, and keep the wet away from
the roots, till itia second nature to him, and he
finds it is almost as impossible to adopt just the
contrary practice when he gets to America as
it is for a polar bear to lay aside his long, white
furry coat, and walk about like a tropical gen
tleman in his natural nankeen pantaloons and
waistoat. He cuts away at his trees to let the
sun in, and raises up his flower beds to drain
off the wet, when it is just the very sun and
drouth that we have too much of. No man can
be a good gardener who will not listen to rea
son, and in a country where nature evidently
meant leaves for umbrellas, take care how you
snap your Angers at that, by pruning without
mercy, and “ lining ike hmir in.”
Garden Walks*—lt has always appeared ot
me that the graad principle of prevention of
weeds on walks has been overlooked; and, in
a late visit to Shrubland, I put the question to
Mr. Benton, whoso experince in such matters
is great, and he at once took me to some new
walks then making, where a solid bottom of
concrete, formed of marl and coarse gravel,
was first rammed down hard, before the drens
gravel was laid on ; aftetr this few er no weeds
will grow; and 3 may observe that my own
walks are formed in the came way, and there
is scarce a weed to beiieen on them.

Spartans vita an» Union Railrcad. —We
have recently had eome interesting conversa
tion with an intelligent citizen of Spartanburg,
in reference to tho prospects of this anterprize,
which we consider one of the most promising
that has lately been started in the State. It is
now m away that promises success. The
company is fully organized, under the Presi
dency of the Hon. Gabriel Cannon, Senator
for Spartanburg, aud with an aetive and effi
cient board of Directors, who are sparing no
labor to complete the capital necessary to the
construction of the Road. About four hun
dred thousand dollars, iticlnding the State
•nbssriptioa, has been pledged to the enter
prise, and only one hundred thousand is want
ing to complelo the neoessary capital.
Several propositions, we learn, are before
the Doard, aa that part of (the route which is
to connect this road with tho lower Railroads
of the State. The Beveral surveys made by
order of the Direction, have bean reported by
the Engineers as highly favorable. To unite
with the Charlotte road at Cornwell, eight
miles below Cheater, C. H., will be about <33
miles; to unite with the Greenville road at Al
ston, on the Eastern side as Broad River, will
be about sixty eight miles. The peopie of
Newberry are also very desirous of a junction
at iheir town. The Board have a meeting at
Glenn Springs to-day, and will take in:o con
sideration the comparative advantages of all
those routes. We tninlt the first named has a
very decided auperiority over the others in di
rectness of communication, not only with
Spartanburg, but still more with large and fer
life distriets of North Carolina.
In elligont gentlemen who hare travelled
somewhat exteuaively in the upper parts of
this State, and in Georgia, North Cerolina aud
Tennessee, have expressed their opinions
warmly in favor of this road, and the beiief
that an investment in its stock will prove aa
profitable as in that of any road in the Sta e.

Tax Captain-General or Coba. —The N.
Y. Courier and Enquirer has a letter from
Havana, giving a long and interesting history
of the high dignitary who now bolds the reins
of power in Cuba. From this account we
learn that Don Jose dels Concha, Captain-
General of Cuba, is the sanes a Brasilian
General who was killed in the struggle for
freedom in that country, and who is indebted
for his present elevation, partly to the influ
ence which his brother has acquired at the
Court of Spain, and partly to his own talents,
which have been displayed to greater advan
tage since hia attainment to the position which
he at present oecupies. It is long since Cuba
baa had so efficient and popular a Viceroy.
Shortly after hia assumption es the reins of
government in Cuba, hia attention was direct
ed by an official to the licenses which had
been granted by the last government, and
which should be exchanged for those bearing
hr signature :
“ And bow much,” said the Captain-Gene
ral, “will this produce me ?” “About one
hundred thousand dollars, may it please your
excellency.” “And how much will it produce
to yon ?” “About ten thousand, if it please
your Excellency.” “But it aoes not please
my Excellency. I shall give np my hundred
thousand dollars, and yon. of eonrse, cannot
complain of giving up yonr ten. Let the li
censes stand good.
Thoogh laws have been enacted in Spain
for the suppression of the slave trade, yet it is
well known that it is at present carried on in
Caba extensively, hut at the same time se
cretly. It would notdo for any Captain Gen
era' to attempt putting a atop to it altogether,
sod former Viceroys were iu the habit cf re
ceiving targe djuceure in consideration of their
winking at the illegal traffic. The following
story is related of Gen. Concha:
Shortly after his arrival, the owners of two
slavers, which bad just pat into pert, presented
themselves at the Palace, and having succeeded
in obtaining an interview with His Excellency,
each offered a bag of golden oonces. “What
does this mean, gentlemen?” “Mayitpleass
yonr Excellency, we have two cargoes of slaves
jus: arrived,and this is the usual compliment
we have paid to yonr predecessor on such oc
casions.’’“lmpossible, gentlemen! No Span
ifh General could have received money in
such a manner Impossible! Take away
your gold immediatelv, and never let me kear
soch slander again. And, hark ye, gentlemen,
I am content that what I have heard should re
main private with Don Jose de la Concha;
but take care that no official information
reaches the Captain General upon such mat
ters, or you will lose yoar slaves, every black
of them.”
Don Jose is about forty five years of age—
slightly bald, with a severe and rigid expression
of countenance, occasionally relieved hy a
sweet but fleeting smile around the corners of
his mouth. He is about the middle height,
well made, and his appearance dignified and
graceful. He speaks French fluently but with
a strong Spanish aceent, and his conversation
in private has an earnestness approaching to
excitement. Theself possessed graciousness
of his manner is instanced by the following
anecdote :
It is the custom when he appears in public
for all with : u his sight to uncover An Amer
ican, with whom I have a slight acquaintance,
w.ts near the palace one morning, when he
descended, accompanied by several officers.
All hats were off in an instant, save that of the
American, who, with Yankee thoughtlessness
and indifference, bnt with no pointed intent,
kept his hat on as he went on bis wav. It so
happened that hia way aid that of the Vceroy
al party converged, and when they were near
ly opposite, the Capatn General looking round
met his eye and saw his covered hold. Halt
ing slightly, Don Jo*d raised his chapeau and
made him a pointed and courteous bo w. Hu
man nature, Yankeo nature, could not resist
this; he bared a blnshing brow on the instant,
and ever after, on the appearance of His Ex
cellency he bowed without blnshing.

The Mexican Frontier.— On the 19th o
September, the sheriff of San Antonio de Bexar
seized on the American side of the river two
alleged fugitive slaves. The free papers of one
were promptly produced, and he was released.
The commandant of the Mcxisan military post
has ectoreda protest against the seizure, on the
ground that the fnan seized, “Gafter John,”
was a Mexican citizen. It was thought that
the other one seized would be able to provo his
freedom.
The success of tha Sobmarina Telegraph

Washington, Oct. 21—Tbere ia no reliable
intelligence here authorising iba opinion that
a special Minister has been appointed from
either France or Spain in relation to Cuban
affairs.
A communication was recently addressed to
our Government by Lord Palmerston, respect
ing expeditions fitted oat in the Unite i States
against Cuba, io violation of tha spirit of trea
ty stipulations; bnt it was answered ia a dig
nified and truly American paper by Mr. Crit

mated in very plain terms, that England had
bettor occupy herself with her own aflairs—
meaning, in downright vernacular, mind her
own business.
This Mpjy will probably prevent all Euro

does Mr. Crittenden and the Administration
graat credit.
