The Wheat harvest nearly, Ifnotqitllo, overj In this lecllon of Ihe country; and the crop, which Is abundant, anil generally of in excellent quality, has been, for the most part, gathered In good condition. In a few It has sustained some damage from nut) but Ihe Injury Is comparatively trilling: and If (he demand for Flour should equal that of the last season, the farmer will obtain a very fair compensation for his labor.

We regret to add, however, that the chineh- destructive Insect, hitherto but little known In made its appearance In Urge numbers In this and the neighboring counties, and attacked (he Corn and other lale crops. It Is said that ruin drives it away. If so, we hope refreshing showers may soon visit this part of the Slate; otherwise the now flattering prospects of our country friends may be seriously impaired by Ihe ravages of (his new and almost unknown enemy. Should the Editor of tho Union Agriculturist, or any person, be acquainted with the best mode of check- Ing or preventing the attacks of the destroy. he would render a Valuable service lo coipmunlty by malting It yublle.

Some of Ihe Ohio papers apprrhen that serious disturbances may arise bettveei the "old citizens" of Mercer county, an these new settlers. SI. Louis Reporter states tha Major Thomas H.

By the treaty, tho Oovern mont is to pay them "whloh siir, will cover all expenses of removal, Improve ments, purchase of their new home, tic.

We havo been so fortunate ns to learn his opinions and nets upon that subject. He was In Ihe Leglsla- ure when that system adopted, and instead of beliiu opposed to It, we learn from the that he'vent as far as the farthest In Its support and defense. On the 23d of Jiauarv, 1837, the Bill fo an act lo and maintain a genera System- -of wai under Mr. Wheeler, of'PIke County', to amend the bill by striking out all after the enacting clause, and insert Resolutions to the following effect: hi.

That we will not commence any syslem of Internal Improvements, where we shall be compelled to resort to taxatioi to defray the expenses, without being In structed so to do.

On Ihe question, Shall the amend men proposed by Mr. Wheeler be adopted? i was decided in the negative! by yens and FRENCH VOTING IN THE NEGATIVE. Houil On the same day, 'Mr. Lane moved to amend the bill by adding an additional Sec (Eon, to wit: Sec. 37.

And belt further enacted, tha at the next biennial election, a vote of th people of the State of Illinois shall be taken for the approval or rejection of the abov aot; and if a majority of the people be In favor of said act, then It shall bo In fuT force, otherwlie to be null and void.

Approved, June 18, 1846. P. S. After tho above was in type, Information has reached us, that the additional bill, which makes provision for the organ! zation of the volunteers into brigades and diviiions, has been hurried through both branches of Congress, and become a law of the land. It is thus reported In a late num ber of the National Intelligencer, a shield around us which fate will be to respect.
