The Renulsion of fhu Yellow Bur from Pumpkia Yiues, &c. Messrs. Tucker & Son The class of vegetables liable to the attack of the yel low bug, though not staples, are yet impor tant. Tbe pumpkin as ordinarily cultiva ted by the farmer, in the corn-field, is val uable in connection with the fall feeding of beef and pork, and the production of milk. It is the more valuable to" the farmer be cause, when cultivated in connection with corn, it is produced so cheaply. The win ter squash is a valuable item in the stores of the family. The cucumber in Jul' and August, and melons of all sorts in August and September, 'beepme cheap luxuries wherever there is a light soil and a sufficien cy of heat to ripen them. The greatest obstacle often to their production is the at tack of the .yellow bug. And yet his re pulsion is readily and cheaply accomplish' :&. . - MODES OF REPULSION. ' 1. Cover the hill, just as the plant be gins to appear, with thin bats of cotton or flax tow, securing them against the wind by earth placed on the edge. The rising plants will lift tip this covering. It may be removed altogether when the plants make the fourth leaf. 1 Such a covering .excludes a portion of the light and air from the plant while, on the other hand, it secures it from . . . . i .

These are made about 12 or 15 inches square, and about G or S Iiigh. of thin boards, the top being covered with Millinct, 'put on with carpet tacks. A light brace ought to be let into tUc top of the box, across one course, to prevent the box from working out vof shape, before the covering is put on. , This box is also a protection against wind and light pests, though, by shutting off a portion of light, it hinders the growth somewhat in fine weather. Even without the addition of the miilinet this bos is'usually., a protec tion against the bug. ' 8. Dirt mounds. In light, sandy soils. and for field oy market garden use, this moco is much more ready and cheap than the preceding Prepare yourself, Orst mak ing a moulding frame. This is done by taking good pin boards about 8 inches wide sawed into four pieces so as to make a bev eling box about "one foot 'square at the bot tom, and fifteen inches at the top. A brace sh&ulii be let in and nailed, 'firmly across one of the corners, the whole thing being made like the box in Xo. 2 above, except that it is made beveling and much'strong-or Place thfs box around your hill of melons or cucumbers. Then let the earth be firm ly hank-e4 around the. outside up to the top. of the box. -Then strike the box a light blow on one side to loosen it a little,, when it may be- lifted out, leaving a firm, sloping bank around your hill. Two men should always work together in making them; standing oa opposite sides. I used such banks many years ia a market gardeti. They may be made probably for one-half-eent-a piece. When properly made they will stand a heavy rain uninjured." The second time of working among your plants they may be removed readily with the hoe. Occasionally the bugs will get into these earth boxes r but, all things coaisidepe, I prefer them te any mode I, protect the yo.ung plan t from the cold winds. V 4. Tomatoes sown amongI and abound your vine plants. This plan has often been recommended. I havenot tried, but certainly think very favorably of if J ;. It is easy, near the close of the summer, to save tomato seeds cheaply and in large quanti ties. Less perfect fruits may be- selected than those used v for; yor main crop.

Mixtures of fresh wood ashes, plas ter, snuff, flour, the latter being used to produce the adhesion of the other things, are often used, and with more or less good effect. When the proportion of ashes is too large they sometimes burn the plant. Such mixtures are, ut best, but feet protection of the plant an lmper least they They also have "been so in my experience, need renewal after heavv rains. One im perfection attending their use is the almost impossibility of applying them to the lower side of the leaf of the plant, where often the bug works the most fatally. The application of a cheap wash with a syringe a wash having a permanent .and offensive odor and taste, but one not acrid, might be useful. Of what such' a wash should be constituted, experience alone can determine. Many things highly offensive .to one species of animal are not so to an other. In conclusion, my experience throws me back on the millinet covered box, for the market garden, as being the cheapest and surest modes of defence. C. E. Goodrich, Utica, 1857. - What are the best Substitutes for Guano. In consequence of the very considerable increase latel7 made in the ,price of Peru vian guano, the above question is being, veiy freely and frequently canvassed by British Farmers. The opinion seems to bo very generally entertained that one of the best substitutes for this' unrivalled fertilizer, so far at least as turnips and some other root and green crops are concerned, is common ground bones, prepared in such a way as to hasten the solution of the phosphates therein con tained. In order to judge' of the compara tive value of these fertilizing properties mainly to the phosphates and the ammonia which they contain- The best Peruvian Guano contains about 22 per cent, of phos phaes, and 1G of ammonia. Ground bones contain about GO per cent, of phosphates, (sheep bones 70, horse bones. 67, ox bones 58 1-2, calf bones 54, swine bones 62, fish bones 55, according. to Sprcngcl,) and 9 per cent, of ammonia, provided the bones were fresh and unboiled. So far then, as the per centage of phosphates and guaon is concerned, there is no fertilizer in the mar ket that can claim an equality with hones, and for erops which, like turnips, do not require a largo amount of ammonia but da require large supplies of phosphates, bones are more than equal to guano. The great objection to the use of bones is based on tne ground mat me puo.piiaies contained in them are not in a soluble state, and slowly dissolve, and that, consequently, they are not so speedy in their action, as is often desirable. In one case this slow so lubility of bones may be accounted as an advantage, as it would be better that lands laid down to meadow or pasture for a term of years, should obtain the beneGt of a dressing of bones or phosphates"graduall than all at once the first year, But for most purpose?,: it were better to have them more speedily available : and to effect this objeet, bojies have been very extensively treate6Fr.ith sulphuric acid, to convert the slowly soluble into the speedily soluble phos hates. The inconvenience and frauds and disappointments incident to the use of super-phosphates, have turned the attention of agriculturists to. other, methods of ,ren dering.bones soluble, and it has been as certained that the cheapest and most relia ble. mode of treating bones, so as to derive from them the fullest advantage, is to mix them', in the ground state, with.half rotted manure 5 the acids1 resulting from th? fer mentation .and pa (refaction, combining: to make the phosphates more readily soluble..

Wi New Orleans Viffilairts Lanhable Scenes. The New Orleans C resent, of the 10th inst, recounts the following interesting particulars regarding the re treat of the Vigilants. on Tuesday morning, and oth f r incidents connected therewith. Some of the par ticulars we cannot vouch for as they were obtained second-handed, but as all matters relating to the vig ilants possess interest, we t 11 the stQry as it was told to us, without being positive us to its strict Correct ness: . The Vigilants left the State Arsenal in a body, about two hundred strong, under Captain Puncan; he representing to them that the time had come iC!' their departure, and that he would lake them to a place of safety. The marched down the levee to the barracks below the city. Arrived there, the or der was given to stack arms. This beinar done, Cap tain Duncan informed the men that it was necessary that he arid the other leaders should remain there for safety, but that they, being privates, were not in' so much danger, and had better disperse and each man look out for himself. The men, understanding that they would not be permitted to remain there, asked for their guns, that they might defend themselves af ter leavinjr. The Captain refused, telling them that they were better without weapons than with them, and politely showed them out at the gates. Many of them, instead of coming back to the city went further down. Some crossed the river in skiffs, to make, their escape as best they could;-whilst others wtnt .back into the swamp and there secreted them selves. There ihey staid all that day, all r.i;ht and the greater part of yesterday. On Tuesday afternoon. s bout fifty of them, mostly foreigners, came forth trom their concealment, surrendered inemsetves to a police oflieer who. was doivn that way, and asked to be-made prisoners, that they might get somethiug to eat and be protected trom the violence which they apprehended. Whilst the officer was bring them up. he- received an order from Lieut. Leggett to dismiss them, he having 00 orders or authority to take them prisoners. They were accordingly dismissed, and ad vised to keep on up home, nnier an assurance that no harm should happen them. This, however, only served to frighten them worse than ever; they fancied it was only a'rnse to entrap them in some murderous ambuscade, and so turned back and retreated to their hiding places in the swamp. . j Yesterday morning, different persons who came up from the vicinity of the barracks reported that during the night the miseraqle men had broken into the gar dens, and into sone of the houses, and carried off all the food they could find. Green arid over-ripe cu cumbers, green mehmsand all kinds of vegetables had been carried off and probably devoured. Jt was also stated that besides their starvation, and the horrors of a rauht among the mopquitoes in the swamp, many of them had taken sick and were altogether in.a nwst distressing situation, , r Word was sent down to the men that they were killing- themsnlves- for nothing, and that they had' bet ter come back to the city and disperse to their homes. I t was guaranteed them that they should not be inter fered with of molested by anybody. In the afternoon they seemed to get over their? fright, or at least to get over it to a certain extent; for they were seen, one man here and another there, quietly stealing home. They looked as if they expected to see a eannon pop out from behind every corner, or earth explode at ev every ptep. Whether all of them carae .back or not; we Could not ascertain; but those who did go home safely, ahd the pleasure they felt after their terrible and wretched seven days experience as Vigilants, must .hav.e been one of ehose pleasures that is Jiot of ten enjoyed in a lite-time. ' ' Several of those who were known to belong to the Vigilants were yesterday seen io ttiu streets," going about towu in pursuit of their business, and were not that we could hear of, interfered with or molested anywhere. -'- - We hear of different members of the Vigilants, not among the fugitive above mentioned, who are laid up yery sfclt from the effects of the severe duty and privation they underwent at Fort Vigilance. From all accounts, there was more suffering, sus pense and general misery among the Vigilants, than people have anyo'dea of.- Their steeping apartments in the Arsenal. Court House, close,1 crowded,, fiithy, and unwholesome, were little better than the' -Stack Hole of Calcutta for it must be ; remembered' that during all the Vigilant excitement ' the " weather was awfully-dibt,riight and day; sixteen or twenty hours duty out of twenty-four, for five days, thoroughly tes ted every constitution; and plain bread and meat and coflee were not just the thiug for "the numerous epicu rean' palates thBt found themselve3 runderthe iVigi- jaota nag.-. , ! -j . .,-.4 ,. - i-m- .- ,: y -A TUcn Pcef.-tA manufacturer aad vender of., pat ent medicine recently: wrote to a triend. living out west. raHroatr Jenc.e, and la the Woroirig j, found that; the. rofik had fttirJy'isapRearedfl peat Btooe rwal J en cifQUsdjJhi tW4,.t-;aa( Jthr aite wer(l;piit into iqven 4 mm -sfooo. fiMh enr. .fc Trcow.'-anq-jaifg'pyBTeira yai i Tihl nut An ounce iimu tue utiuutc iiuvKretn swam pi n "jfwo ire ana DUiudkhis.- ana n'w ux - urauu liccs iu auu ( iAantfdWitlremendousstre nntn9lI 'rAW:anriKnf "nitif'tV-Hvn dollar 'i, ;tTt '"'ltZ"' ' ; -1 for a good strohgv vecomtnendation of his (tne raanu-- j - - , 1 i-.wi.ii ri K luiiiL. 1 u 1 1-. w iii u iir: ,rri ,t:i vr:i i 1 1 r. t 11 v t-a uin uuin.L if jb I 11 u. .11 1 ill ifii.t urn an ai -T "t-tollowmg, wnicn we-xaif prtMiv Birong: ., - i m xm ixiu.nwifc .aQq..miviag nwsBis baeer .da t -i rii IiS pear W;-""TBe Iandaimposirig tny farm hatt hith-r. wiir TaRea! nager tip anq fet'tb Standard. ce.- iiTfJTJito tjefen tfftKfO tbat a Scotchrrtan drtnltt not '-get a F rMT tun-wora r; ri'ne('OoHgrtesi'alrbavU iri, q, uving'.otx is; amr scony tnac we nui to snce our jx)-1 uiw--n, mase an- ftreoitn mies and.rJVgula -SftaiBe4 arid plant'tliem tedgewise be 'ieariftg of yodr f otswpecUnff U&. territory aad-otber ftr rtt be u -vc i i5aisanr i the some. on k ten acre ocu crounoea oj a s i iMJe tusieu. mates z and nothtn?' in: KU The Name and Fame of Washington. There is this peculiarity in regard to the character of WAsniMJTON, that the reader never becomes weari ed with any thing connected with it. Every year de velops some new incident portraying his character us almost peerless in all that constituted the patriot and the sage. How few men with "specks of our nature" in them could have passed through such an ordeal as he ?Hd without a stain ! The subjoined article affords a pleasing exemplification of the effect which "truth and sincerity" always exert upon noble minds. . It shows that Governor Jotinson made no mistake when he singled out the illustrious Virginian as worthy to command the armies of America : . Laurestiscm, Burke Co. , Ga. 1 June 17, 1858, j Messrs. Editors ; Ihe remarks which have recent ly been made in your valuable paper upon .the ques tion, "Who nominated (Jeneral Washington as Commander-in-Chief," has attracted public attention. T Governor Thomas Johnson, of Maryland, certainly belongs that distinction. - During a visit which I ie recently paid to J. K. Tefft, Esq., -the celebrated au tograph collector, residing in Savannah, he alluded to copies of General Washington's letters to Governor Johnson in his position, inviting him to accept the offices of Secretary of State and of Associate, Judge of the Supreme Court. Accompany these letters of Washington is a meiuorandom of Governor Johnson, written in 1815, four years proceeding his' death, to be preserved by his family in mmoriotn. . 1 was great ly inpressed with the moral beauty of this memoran dum, its simplicity and piety; and at my earnest in stance Mr Tefft kindly allowed me a copy. No memo rial of the good and great men who planned and con ducted our Revolution should be lost. The thoughts of such men. more..than the imagines majonim of Rome will incite th'e present generation to virtue. ' ' September 15, 1813 . This encloses two of the many letters I received from George Washington in the course of a long inti mate acqtiaintainces and friendship which I was hon ored with; nor were out frequent conversations less reserved. Some of them I could now repeat, almost verbatim, so impressive was his penetration, his wis dom, and the purity of his mind. Thsse two letters, with the rough draft of my answer, I leave as a rich legacy of honor to my deceudants; not to 6wel them with pride, but with the hope that it may stimulate them in the course of virtue, to the active practice of that which is founded in truth and sincerity. Howl loved him, and hismeinory ! There were, doubtless, specks of our nature in him.' But I am more and more fixed in the opinion that he came nearer the order of superior beings than any person I ever personally knew, or can rely on from the report of history or my limited. acquaintances with the his tory of those Tho occupied the stage before us. That we are to pass into another stage of being af ter.death 1 hold for certain; and as certain too that we shall he rewarded or punished according , to our deeds in this life the -rewards 'liberal, the punish C?;nts mitigated by mercy. But the manner of a fu ture existence and the enlarged capacity of the next S'iperior class of beings we cannot possibly have'aid quate ideas of in our present state. Some imagine that we shall have a remembrance of and somethiBJT of the -feiogg of relatioiibhip in this life, with im proved powers of communitation. . If this should be the- state of things, may I meet Wasuixgton beyond the grave J . , Thomas Jortxsou P. S. There is a pleasing Revolutionary incidents alluded to in this couutry During the occupation of Georgia by the British. Governor Edward Telfair, a member of the then Continental Congress, and who had an indifro estate in this county, was oompeled to leave the colony with his family and slaves.- In his jou ney towards the North, through the Canflinas and Virginia, he stopped at Frediricktown. Maryland, near which place his friend andcol league, Governor Johnson, Lad an iron forge of wide repute. H kind ly offered to pive employment to'' Governor Telfair's servents. and there they, accordingly remained till the recovery c f the colony. Those were with one hundred d'fllars of Continental money, for. a dinner, many a patriot of condition euvisd the peasants of Henry IV, to all of whom he vowed a "jowl in bis pot." - "PLINIUS SECUNDUS. : The Lst Standard charges i that Mr. McRae has changed his position on the question of the Western Exteusiob, and that change was made at Oxford. The point of change is that Mr. McRae is in favor of allowing the individual subscription all alonlhe line and contracts to be let out as fast: as the individual and State subscription are made. There has not been the slightest change in the position taken by'Mr. Mc- rtae in ins JJancy letter, and that now occupied. Everywhere Mr. McRae has proclaimed Ins opposi tion to any 'increase of the Stale debt for works f im provement while the State is embarrassed as it teat present by high taxation at the same time he hus, on a!l occasions, declared himself the frifnd of Inter nal Impfoveiuent, and determined to stand fully up to the plighted obligations of the State. - Always he has declared his determination of facilitate the com pletion of the Western Extension by allowing the in dividual subscriptions to have the benefit of the State subscription as fast as. they make their own aud pay in the 5. oer cent. Tus, he distinctly stated publicly at Clinton, and privately, in a full and free conversa' tioa with his coinf)etitoE, aud this he repeated at eve ry point in the east, and jt was a matter oC conversa tion between him and a friend or his from Edirecombe who attended the discussion at Pitt; and, at Winston Judge Ellis distinctlvyrfdmitteda this, to be the true position of Mr. McRae, thereby disavowing the ar ticle of Standard. . ' - ' - - : . But J udge Ellis has changed position, for at Rockingham and Wadeeboro' both, "he said, and this will be clearly remembered in those places, "although he , believed the present appropriations sufficient, if they should not be, and the State bonds should sell the next winter as they sell now, he would recommend a : sufficient sum to complete the Western Extension, the Wilmington and Rutherford Railroad, and the i ayetteyille and Coal Fields Road." -This was his language there.. He was so understood in Fayette viile, and it was not until he reached Kenansvilleand Mosely Hall, that he said that none would be needed and he did not intend to recommend a dollar of ap propriation at the next Legislature, except for the Coal Fields Railroad - to Fayetteville. At Cliotou even, he had:B0t made up his mind to this' for there, in reply to the question .direct, he said he' "was too old a debator to be caught jn that Way." . , ,- The public must expect to see all manner of mis representation of; Mr. McRae, for while.
