From the Raleigh Standard. DISEASE OF THE PINE. ANC We invite the attention of our readers to the The following well written and interesting commu. publish nication from Professor White, of Wake Forest ' the cal College in relation to the disease of the Pine.' "Or We learn that millions of these valuable trees from tl have been destroyed during the. present year, toueliii and that the prospect for the future, in many Conve - ?? "nimtrv is extreme- electii sections ot me turpemiuu v.o. ? ly gloomy. We hope the attention of men of j now, \ science among us may be more fully directed j Whig to this matter; and if any remedy can be dis- j be loll covered, that the community may at once have and tl he benefit of it. We fear, however, that no : Burer remedy can be suggested, and that the disease Wi will have to bo allowed to take its course: I have Wakr Forest College, Aug. 23. iject. Dear Sir,?The object of this communication | the I is to invite attention to the disease of the pine-" the S In a paper before me, it is stated that a corres- cunia pondent of the Mobile Herald ascribes the de- as loi cay of the tree to the influence or state of the positi ^atmosphere; but the reasons for the opinion are cert not given. Most people will tell you that it is they a worm or as it is most commonly called the and 1 Sawyer, because always heard in decayed pines; ger, others again, that it is a small bug. , with About the middle of last month, (July.) most unib of the pines in the beautiful forest surrounding ' ceas our Institution commenced decaying, and in the ; the f" TrCes I have exarnintrh I hav? gonorally found wot] two small bugs and three worms. I collected a mar -j i?thum over night ! now number of these anu i\c?r^...6 in a vial, transferred thcin to a large glass jar, woi where they appeared very inactive till I inlro- glol duced into the jar a block of fresh pine four id?*i inches long, cut from a limb two inches in di. Son ameter, when one kind of the bugs soon mani- bea fested increased activity, and in three or four wil hours were buried beneath the bark. ! ser One of the bugs may be known from its head luti terminating in a long weevil.like mouth or nose* No It is black and never enters the tree till after it ! fill decays. The other (Coleopterous Tetruiner- j nas-Capitate) is generally a deep mahogany Ur color, or the color of the bark of the pine, ag; though many will be found much lighter, de- pri pending probably on the age of the insect. It tec is from an eighth of an inch in length and about dri the diameter of a common knitting-needle, be- j ov ing somewhat smaller than an ordinary grain of i ea wheat or rice. Its bead is covered with a shell (n or horny shield that nearly encircles it, giving it C: a blunt or square appearance, while the exter-1 in nal wings of the same horny substance, cover the abdomen terminating downward like an inclined plane, but hollow or cup-shaped, sur- h; rounded by eight or ten turrets, and employed Si by the insect to carry or push out its dust or lit te ter from its hole. S """ ihrnmrh the bark is very small ' a< 1(16 eilliauw ..... j, afterwards somewhat enlarged, though not sut- ti ficienlly large for the bug to tuni round in, and *v """ The path invariably lies between the inner bark j tl and" the alburnum or wood of the previous years j r growth. Sometimes several enter the same C hole; then branches are made, and burrows and (i pleasure grounds laid off. The eggs are depos- 1< ited on the side of the path averaging about (ten on each aide) twenty to the inch, sojthat the e larvae or worms become exceedingly numerous. 1 The bugs themselves will not fall short of eight | s nf t??n itinii?and t? an ordinary tree, and the es- j s ted, and two pair have died, yet, besides a great i number which perished in the larvae ?.nd chrv- I salis states, [ have reared 112 healthv bugs, < embracing children, several grand-children, and i probably a few great grand children. I I will trouble you at this time with two ad- ! ditional remarks and the inquiry, why is it, that, when pines arc cut down during certain months < in the year, the bug from theso or near them, .< commence immediately their depredation*? I If you strike the point of your knife slightly *" * ~ -""""'tw nrxrwl.* hfilo. tflC j against me oara ui a ntvuuj .....Uw ? , insects immediately appear, generally pushing j litter to stop the entrance. Woodpeckers tin- : derstand this habit of the bug, and by one or two strokes with the bill secure their prey. It is pleasing to observe how many holes is visited by these industrons birds. Let us be grate- < ful for their service, and let every boy who kills | one be whipped. Again, the bug is often driven ! back after reaching the inner bark or wood, by 1 a flow of the sap or turpentine to the hole.? And not (infrequently is this the case after en- | tering two or three inches. Thus some trees I make successful resistance, though assailed i apparently by thousands. Are not tree.s destroyed more extensively during the months when there is the least flow of sap? I intended to have appended several inquiries for those who have leisure and opportunity to observs, but have already detained you too long. Yours, &c. John B. White. Apple Tree Borer.?The best remedy for -jp-this evil is a strong wash of lye from wood ash? r-?nr. nninsh This should be annlied with ; CS Ul 11 VIII . ..... k ( a swab or brush it) July while the worms are ! yet young or before the eggs are hatched. The labor of washing around the trunks of the trees near the bottsm is not great. It may be performed in dull days in July, and should not bo neglected> if you would rid your trees of this scourge. The worms that entered last summer are now in the body of the tree, boring up, and no wash that can be applied will reach them. But they will all bore out again during next June and become flieg, ready to lay their eggs j by the first of July next. In grass lands a heap of sand piled up around the trunk has a good tendency, as the bark will be more tough and the borers more exposed. One gentleman has rid his orchard of borers by piling leached ashes about the trunks. The fly dislikes the scent of ashes and lye and will not attack such ttees when others are to be found. Isspr of Bopnty Land Warrants.--The nf the of the Public Lands ha- ! ving received many letters complaining of dolay in the reception of bounty land warrants, i has addressed a letter to tho Washington Union, ! from which we gather the following following j facts, viz: That of the 40,000 regulars enlisted since the commencement of the Mexican 1 war, 35,000 were probably entitled to bounty lands, and of the 60,000 volunteers enrolled since that time, 55,000 are also entitled to them. So 90,000 may be claimed of the government. Of these it may be that 10,000 will not press lor warrants immediately, and may not at all. After deducting the 26,367 already issued from the Pension Office, and duly registered in the Land Office, there remains 63,633 still to be issued. Recently the number of clerks in the. Pension Office lias been so increased as to ena- i ble them to prepare anrl send to the Land Office | 200 a day. Thus it will be about 318 working days, or some thirteen or fourteen months, be. lore the warrants for which immediate demands are made will get to his office, where ho says tbey are being reg;stcred and sont out as fast as receired.

Insanity* in Paris?Kfkbct ok Political Disturbances.?Not the least interesting fact . connected with the recent revolution in France, 1 is the effect of the political troubles in developing insanity. As soon as the revolution broke out in February, the patients began to increase j at the hospital. Dr. Borsmout states that the i first were generally sad, melancholic, and da spondetit. Their fancies were oi a uoari rcn- | ding description, as they expressed a constant fear of being slaughtered and assassinated.? The patients of this class mostly belonged to the respectable trading part of the community; and many of them had, by industry and perserarance, succeeded in amassing some property. In order to escape the misfortunes they dreaded, some of these patients tried to destroy themselves, and the most careful watching was necessary to prevent them from doing so. Two starved themselves to death in spite of every precaution. A short time afterwards another j description of patients were received, whose ! derangement might be fairly attributed to the J working of the new political ideas. These j were not dejected and sad; on the contrary, they . had proud, gay, and enthusiastic looks, and were j very loquacious. They wore constantly wri- I ting memorials, constitutions, &c., proclaiming themselves great men, the deliverers of the country, and took the rank of generals and members of the government. The June insurrection produced the same results, and has sent twenty patients to Dr. B., I.,, un ,-c .itKnr establishments have increased in like proportion. The greater number of these patients belong to the melancholic form of disease. Like the February patients of the same category, they talk of death, the guillotine, ruin, pillage, and fire. The terrible scenes which they have had under their eyes have plunged them into a sort of stupor. There were some among them who, for some time j previously had shown symptoms of aberration of mind, and in whom the revolution has haste- ' ned the appearance of the confirmed disease. I Others had had interior attacks; but about half j of them had been in the full enjoyment of their mental faculties, and their madness had no other cause than our fearful political commotions.

"Here, sir, I want to know what right you have to be going on pio-nics, and your wife and child at home?" "Hush, Sophia," whispered the gentleiran, hastily getting out of the. omnibus, "hush, the people will hear you." "Who cares if they do! Why didn't you think of the people, or of me, or your child instead of running off to pic nics with other women?" "Well?there?now?don't "lint I will though!

In England and Ireland every thing is [uiet, and no agitation calculated to disturb tho ranquility of either country exists. Paris, also, is stated to be in a quiescent tate, but factious dissensions were increasing .ml the newspapers were openly taking ground gainst tho Republic. Disturbances had likovise taken place in some of the provinces, and he Bonapartists were endeavoring to excite jouis Napoleon to make a demonstration to btain power. Denmark and Germany have temporarily eltled their affair*. Austria has accepted the proffered mediaion of France and England, and consequently t may be fairly concluded that all hostilities will ease, and peace bo established. Itai.y is staled to be still in a tumultuous and ixcitcd state. Schlkswto and Holstkix have refused to icknowlcdgo the armistice.
