EDITOB: In one of tho Ger? man, fillnstrated family journals, published a short timo ago in Phila? delphia, we read the following bum? ble petition. At the approach of .winter, no paper should omit the repetition of an admonition -which is contained in the following petition : We, the undersigned, sparrows, finches, wrens, Seo., herewith respect? fully request all the lovers of nature, animals and philanthropists, but more especially agriculturists, to take us for a short time as humble board? ers, after winter has set in with all its terrible force, with snow and cold, and to scatter from time to time, on suitable places, a few handfuls of seed, oom, bread, &c. We pledge our honor to repay such charitable deed, by devouring, in the spring and summer time, all noxious vermin; and already we are very busy in re? connoitering on caterpillars' nests, lames and eggs of that rabble. In the name of the hungry chief society, THE ?KNTBAI? CoMinrTEE. To this petition we subjoin an arti? cle which is in the news from Ger? many and Switzerland, dated Sep? tember 19, No. 72. At tho desire of the Tessiner Government, tho federal diet has inquired at the several can? tons if they were willing to enter into a compact which object is to prevent the killing of birds for a number of ears; the counsellor of the Govern? ment of Zuerich has already consent? ed to take part in the proceedings. An imitation of this law for tho pro? tection of the feathered inhabitants of the air would bo of incalculable benefit, in order to stop the bad practice of destroying the poor birds by lazy sportsmen and ignorant boys. It has been proven by learned pro? fessors, (naturalists,) that most spe? cies of small birds destroy myriads of noxious insects, while tho latter dis? appoint, in a short time, all the hopes of the planter, after having labored for months on his crop. Most of tho experiments tried to overcome this pestilence have only met with partial success, and tho planter, with all his trials and often expensive endeavors to clean his crop from tho robbers-discontented at tho ill success of all his trials-at last leaves his rich fields at thc mercy of the unwelcome and devour? ing guests. Most of the small birds aro guided by nature to devour insects, and a careful observer will see at a glance the nnremitting zeal of these small birds; and how unjust ll is, therefore, to make war against them. In the Phoenix, of September 24 and 29, wo read some deplorable accounts about the depredations of thc cotton worm on some plantations in our State; but how large tho depredations are in general, by noxious insects, wo extract the following words from tho "American Entomologist " No. 1, Sep? tember, 18GS, publishod in St. Louis, Missouri. "To tho agriculturist? aud horti . cnlturists of the Unitod States. It is notorious that the cotton crop is often diminished at least one-third in value by a single insect-tho cotton worm-thus at ono fell swoop pick? ing tho pockets of tho nation of somo fifty millions of dollars." On the whole, wo are certainly speaking within bounds when we assert that, taking one year with an? other, the United States suffer from the depredations of noxious insects to the annual amount of three hun? dred millions of dollars. This enormous annual loss should induce us to try and to save all the means with which a kind Creator has provided ns against the mnrderons attacks of these small bat powerful enemies to our harvests; and even if this enormous lose of several millions cannot be estirely prevented, yet it can be diminished; to ?which the lively small singing |birds in tho air and branches of trees would contri? bute their share. We therefore should procuro for thom a strong protection. ARBALISTA. -? > Grant Sprakfi. A correspondent of tho New York Times writes from Galena, 111., (Gen. Grant's home,) a letter eulogizing him aud all of his family. He pro? fesses to give some of the Genernl's recent utterances. We quote some of them: Whenever he bas occasion to refer to the Democracy at all, ho applies tho term "copperhead;" for ho only recognizes two parties in tho land, ono with tho rebels, and the other ?with the loyalty of tho nation. Magnanimity and generosity are largely developed in Grant's nature. Ho is punctilious about observing the terms of tho parolo given the surren? dering rebels, so long as it is not broken by them. Heneo his unyield? ing opposition to any interference with Leo by Andy Johnson, while Lee kept tho plighted faith. But Gen. Grant feels keenly concerning the diabolical course of the Ku Klux Klan, composed, as it is almost whol? ly, of paroled rebels, and counte? nanced and led by rebel officers; and ho is not insensible to the palpable fact that rebels in editorial places can easily break tho terms of the parole by advocating incendiary doctrines and fomenting turbulence and blood? shed. The day following his election ho said to me: "I'd like to see the tone of tho rebel papers now. I imagine they will quiet down, ns they did after Lee's surrender." Speaking of rebel impudeuce in demanding power, ?fcc, he detailed tc me a historio instance of peculiar im? port. He said: "The morning that Lee surrender? ed he rode out between tho lines, anc I went out and mot him, and we har' a couple of hours' talk. Leo said ht hoped I would offer as magnanimous terms to the other Confederate armiei as his had received. I told him hi should, if ho wished to servo hi friends, go to the other armies in per son and prevail upon them to sur render. He said he would wish t< seo Mr. Davis first. I didn't en courage a conference with Mr. Davie so that suggestion ended. But who I wanted to call your attention to wa this: Lee thought the Southern pee pie would be perfectly satisfied t give up all their property, and a: they expected of the Governmec was to be secured in life and a rigb to go back, unmolested, to try to liv industriously and peaceably in th i Government. Butas for ever bavin any voice again in tho Government or exercising political rights, wh they never thought of nor expecte any such thing." These are words from Grant's ow lips since his election to tho Pres dency. I was conversing with him of tl expansion of tho Western settlement of tho railways to the Pacific, au the grand results in that directioi while tho impious and rebellioi South has pined and suffered. "I think," said Grant, "that Pr vidence must havo had a hand in i and prevented an earlier reconstru tiou of the South for two reason First, to keep the tide of emigrate and enterprise flowing into the va and productive West; and, secondl I to punish the Southern peop! through thoir own agency, for thc i unceasing errors." j THE Ennon OP POLITICIANS.-O of the radical journals complai that the English reformer, Jo! Bright, made a speech at Birmir ham, England, a few days ago, which ho ignored present issues, a appealed to tho political hatreds a prejudices of his hearers on quoitic which havo long siuco been decid? going buck to tho time of Bom Catholic emancipation, and discou ing of "rotten boroughs," and acts of injustice and tyranuy which amends havo long siuco bc made. It would certaiuly have b( a wise thing for Mr. Bright to pori "the dead to bury their dead," 1 the admonition to him comes fr a singular quarter. How much questions now before tho conn occupied tho political discussions tho late canvass in the United Stat Tho loaders of the successful pa raked among the graves to revive ashes of old animosities, and mt of those on tho other side aeon incapable of releasiog themsel I from the dead past and grasping I living issues of the present. Mr. Brigham Young is now the < seventy-fifth part of a widower. I ha? just lost one o? his wives. ALASKA.-The United States reve? nue cutter Wnynnda brings nn inte? resting report from Alaska. The vessel has been making some explo? rations in portions of those posses? sions, with which wo were previously but imperfectly acquainted. Tho re? sult, wo are told, has been satisfacto? ry to tho officers of that vessel and to the Treasury Department. The is? lands of St. Paul and St. George have boon visited, and tho shores of Behring's sea. The most important results of the exploration have bpon tho discovery of good harbors, not previously known of in this country, and a confirmation cf the reports of au abundance of coal in various parts of that territory. Tho letter is of much importance in a country which is continually damp and foggy, where fire for comfort, as well as cooking and mannfneturing purposes, is a constant necessity. As our know? ledge of the natural productions and advantages of this Territory becomes extended, it is apparent that we shall have moro and moro reason to be satisfied with our bargain, and for indulgence in tho feeling that it was really a capital "speculation." UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE.-"Wo regret to learn that Captain P. K. Norris, a highly-respectable citizen of tho District, was severely wounded on Sunday morning lost, under tho following circumstances: The Depu? ty Constable for this District, Alex. Campbell, was attempting to arrest two young men-one of them a Ten nessecan-upon charges not definitely ascertained, and had summoned seve? ral special constables, among them Norris, to aid in the arrest. The de? tachment of officers overhauled tho parties on Sunduy morning, and tho Teunesscean refused to surrender, when, in making his escape, ho was either fired upon or admonished by a display of weapons, whereupon he firod at the posse and severely wounded Captain Norris in the hip. Of course, the wounded officer was acting nuder orders from MB su? perior, and we have heard no censure upon his conduct. We are informed that Mr. Campbell bas tendered his resignation.-A nderaon Intelligencer. The civil war in Japan is nearly over, and results in the abolition of the Tycoonate and the resumption of tho entire administration by the Mikado. The young Mikado has now reached his majority, and has been crowned Emperor. Tho Ty? coon has notified the representatives of the foreign powers of his sub? mission to tho Mikado, who was on tho point of leaving Kioto for Yeddo. Tho war against the most powerful of tho Northern Daimios, Aidzu, is still progressing, but tho young Mikado seems to be on the point of a com? plete victory. MYSTERIOUS MURDER.-On Satur? day morning, ti e body of William E. Burton, a white mau, who had Leon in the employment of the Chesapeako and Ohio Railroad Company for some time past, as brakesman on a freight train, was found by two ne? gro women near Gordonsville, bear? ing the marks of having been most foully murdered. His body was bruised from head to foot, and his skull fractured on the right side just behind tho ear. His hands were crossed and tied together in front of him. A GOOD MOVE.-We learn that Dr. Rockwell, ex-Mayor of Waterbury, Tennessee, in company with two other goutlemen from the North, left the city yesterday, for Aiken. Their object in going tuero, we aro inform? ed, is to select the site for the erec? tion of a spaoious and elegant hotel for the accommodation of invalids who m?*y comethero during the sum? mer in pursuit of health. [Charleston Courier. THEATRE BURNED.-Tho largo building in Callowhill street, below Fifth, Philadelphia, known us tho Atlantic Gardens, and used for tho lowest class of theatrical perform? ances, was burned ont Wednesday evening. It caught tiru in the scene? ry just previous to the commence? ment of tho performance. The au? dience escaped unhurt. Tho New York Tribune says that Gen. Grant is likely, in his first mes? sage, to advocate such an amend? ment of the Constitution as shall make tho President ineligible,to re? election. After a large amount of "declin? ing," tho nominations for Mayor of New York have finally settled upon A. Oakey Hall, Democrat, and Fre? derick A. Conkliug, Republican. A State Convention for tho farmers of Georgia has been called for the ninth of December, to consider the question of tabor, immigration from the North and from abroad, Sus. SPECIAL NOTICES. UNRIVALLED.-Nothing that has over | buen known or hoard of as a tonic adds so much to tho resistant power of thc human sydtem, under circumstances unfavorable to health, as HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. If you would escapo tho inter? mittent fevers, fits of indigestion, bilious attack? and bowel-complaints, of which cold and damp are tho frequent causes, uso thc BITTERS as a PROTECTIVE MEDICINE. Thia is tho wisest course: but, if already an invalid, try the prepara? tion an a RESTORATIVE. In either caso full reliance may be placed upon its effi? cacy. There is no mystery about tho causes of ] its success. It in tho only stomachic and alterativo in which are combined tho grand I requisites of a mild, puro and unvitiated vegetablo stimulant, with tho finest selec? tion of tonio, anti-billious, anti-scorbutic, aperient and depurativo herbs, plants, roots and barks that havo over been inter? mixed in a medicinal preparation. Tho hitters have this distinctive quality, which is not shared, it is believed, uv any Jonie, tincture or extract in tho world: lt] does not excito the pulse, though it infusos a wonderful degree of vigor into tho nor- ] vous system, and strengthens and sustains tho whole physical organization. California and Australia have emphati? cally endorsed it as tho MINER'S MEDI? CINE par excellence, and in Spanish Ame? rica and all the tropical climates, it is considered tho only reliable antidoto to epidemic fevers. Tho already immense and still increas? ing consumption of HOSTETTER'S STO? MACH BITTERS, backed by many of tho I most influential physicians throughout | tho country, should convinco tho most skeptical that it is worthy tho confidence and approbation of all.

The Medical Times says of this work: "This valuable treatise on the causo and euro of prematuro declino shows how health is impaired through secret abuses of youth and manhood, and how easily regained.
