Yvette the Territorial _ Eaterpris!?,l'irginta City, Neva The State has been invaded by crickets Vast armies of them have entered the eastern portion of the State. A week ago the advanced guard of the devastating horde poured down upon Elko, and as they swept past with their silent tramp, the people stood appalledat their numbers. The laiko Ihd , itendent does not trade •their course eastward, but they evidently come from I.:,tati,thellilille of the cricket,grasshopper and polygainus Mormon, and are endeavoring to cut or eat their way through • to thegreen valleys of the True kee. They are destructive on vegetation, and their advance should be stopped by some means. As the *hilarious mai shes of the Ganges seem to be the home of the cholera, so: does ' Utah appear :to be the birth-place of the cricket and grasgho l iper plagues of the ,Great ''Basin. For the past . right or ten years. if not longer,that Territory bas been sorely afflicted _ with, ,grasshoppers, and it has sometimes seemed that the Saints would be compelled to yield their fields and pa.stures to these innumerable and remorse less destroyers.' The cricket pest, however. has been less severe, and from the habits of this insect, we do t noapprehend that the pre sent invasion will prove very destructive. They sometimes appear in prodigious numhers, but they travel slowly, and their ad vance is easily stopped. In 1530, for a distance c.f twenty or twenty-tive miles, in -Utah, the whole face of - tho • country:was. - so. - detiSelfed-' vered with crickets—large, fat, clumsy, win,d-. less fellows - that the wheels of theLemigrant's wagon became almost clogged with the crushed carcasses of these insects. As their course could easily be traced, it was manifest that they had pot traveleiTfar, and winter pro bably overtook them before they swept over a very wide scope of the , country. They ad vance steadily, however, and multiply a hun dred and fifty fold each year. Hence crickets, now tat they have entered the State, may be expected for some, : years to come. , , , THE NEGRO EADEr AT WEST POINT "We published a day or two ago a letter froth the negro cadet at West Voint, giving an ac count of a series of outrageous persecutions to which he has been subjected.

All sizes are wanted, and bring good figures. The result of the Scranton sale has relieved buyers from many apprehensions, and in consequence numbers wtiki . were holding off in anticipation, are coming into the market. Quite an impetus to tbetrade has also been given by the faiure to resume work in the sus. pended regions. At present, buyers, who held back for that reason, are coming in with their orders, they seeing, from the present state of affairs, that the time of resumption is some es bat distant. _Thethreatened strike on_theB hour. question, In all the regions, -and conse quent 'withholding of the supply, has its effects on the trade., The anticipated troubles at Hazleton, in re gard to a new lease between the operators arid inen.(reported in our last Saturday's article), hare culininated in a strike. All the collieries in that region owned and operated by Messrs: A. I'ardee 86 , C0., are idle, withlhe - exceptiOn of the Jeddo and Latimer, the men there being satisfied with their terms. As it look.; nnw, it is hardly expected. work will be resumed this month. In the meanwhile other troubles are brew g-hrthe adjoining regions. An tempt will be made on the 15th of this month to enforce tie orderof the Grand" COunciT of the - W713: A.. relative to making eight hours a lawful day's work. ,The miners are not generally in favor of it. Neither do they advocate a strike, but as they are subject to the W. B. A.., they are forced into it. ' The different regions are now awaiting the action of, those • not. , heard from, and should all or a majority so declare, a snspensicin will take place at thattime. The men at the Beaver Meadow regions, compris ing some of the largest producing collieries In the region,have - endorsed at their meeting the action of the Grand Council of the W. B. A., and_votedtosustain -it. - -The resolutions re ferred tclas having been passed by body are the following : " /?Pv.diwt, That on and atter the 15th day of July, eight hours shall constitute a lawful day's work for all members,of this Association an the Anthracite-coal-field.. - "Re.sored, That - each branch and district ,hall regulate their average contract work not to go over three dollars per day 'on basis of I t‘oit, with the -privilege of twenty-five cents per day for gangways and wet and dangeroas ,places. , RP:oil/Y.:fi t That those places who have not yet the basis be restricted to one -fifth their labor,,with Nrorlung an the._ Carbondale rrillatiods,but-the_eight Goiirs to lie enifirced, without distinction, in all the districts." This means ten tours pay for eight hours' labor. Were this-demand---acceded to by the operators, the . burthen Would fall upon. . the eon-taiiOra - - - - This is the_latest_move-made--byAhe-sus pemled regions in order to bring about a gene.- - ral strike, and by Withdrawing - the supply of .coal render work necessary, for as now the re gions working Veep the demand supplied, without materially affecting the.nrice ; where as, should the supply be diminished, and prices in consequence go up, some operators, tempted by the rise, would give in, and on one giving the terms asked by the men, others i 5 1) 1 11d - follow, - untillinally - all - would - be - forced - to comply, as was the case in the general strike of 1869, when the present basis of wages -, • , .. ,, t , -fi toAlw_tuen, -, ohtained.byneans:of a _general suspnsion. The position of s.lfairsin the suspened re gions is decidedly changed from that of last week at this time, when a compromise was about. being effected which was to have caused a resumption of work on the sth, it being that the miners were to accent a reduction of 20 per cent: on the basii of -1869, and eight limirs' time for all work done by the day. It in all probability would have gone into effect, as some of the weak-kneed operators were nr -gentl!,7,---advocating the acceptance of such terms, Lad it not been for the following order: ', Clio: t: I. Alt No. 7.—Philadelphia and Read i lig Railroad Companv—Office, 227 S. Fourth ,trees, Philadelphia, ,luly 2, 1870.—From and after Friday. July 8, 1870, and during the con tinuance of the suspension, tolls on anthracite , oal to all paints will be advanced fifty cents per ton, and no drawbacks will be allowed on anthracite coal shipped from Richmond. " Immediately Rion a general resumption of work upon any satisfactory basis - Of wages,the present rates of tolls and drawbacks will be re sumed, and for a period of at least thirty days . thereafter no further advance of tolls •• or re duction of drawbacks will be made. FRANKLIN B. GOWEN, President." The effect of the circular was immediate. •All efforts to compromise *ere . dropped. The uselessness of any arrangements for work, sitort"of general resumption on a satisfactory basis in face of the advance, in tolls, was plain. The tide of aflairs,was then - changed•from, in favor of the miners, to the operators, whose cause may now be looked on as in the ascendant. The effect of this order 'ill be to bring about a resump tion favorable to the operators,. more than anything else that could have • been, done to that end, as the W. - B.A. will now see that they have others .to deal with than the operators. It also will have the effect of stop ping those collieries that have given in to the Demand of the men. Nothing was more op portune than the interference of the Railroad Company, as it strengthened many operators almost willing - to concede to the men, and - Would not permit those to work who were willing, an dmaiting. an, opportunity -to..accept the men's terins: • - A On the issuing 'of the order -a' meeting was called of the Anthracite Board of Trade of the Schuylkill, and -'a. circular, addressed to the public generally and 'trade particUlarly, was the result, in which--they - reviewed their course since the strike, and conclusively sho wed that, under the. present statepf affairs, they could not work advantageously and pay the men the terms demanded. ' The following extract we take from it, which shows that they are firm as to the en forcement of the acceptance of their offer by the men : To accomplish this *object we propose to remain idle until our present workmen will ,agree with us, inasmuch a.s our terms are rea sonable, or until we Can supply ourselVes with another class of workmen."

" The certainty that the national administra tion will' soon be on the side of order has al ready had a restraining effect on the violent. I must 'add that thousands who were once beside themselves in Democratic frenzy have been restored to reason by seeing that, after all, a Republican triumph is no calamity to the country or to themselves. Tbe eiection_ot Grantbas not lowered - the value of their lands or their cotton. Norie of the evils predicted by Democratic prophets; have come to pass. Bence a better temper is prevailing. It is my belief that in five-sixths of our counties a Re -publican may now live, - travel;plant , trade, — ' - preach, speak and print, without any unlawful hindrance. In some places there might be incivility. There might be what is called" so _cial ostracism." But mere incivility -is`--not .within the reach of the law. And I do not consider " social ostracism," ,on political grouruls,as a legal or even a personal grievance. My contempt tor those who practice it is, only evnalled by my contenipt for those who will swerve from their convictions on account of it. No man with the 'slightest tincture of self-respect wants the society of those who do not want his if v. in-demand-from--the-eovernment nothing but protection in our legal , riglits.' This_protection _has-been -extensively denied to Republicans in Georgia. And afte,r , all de ductions for recent improvement, and for ex-' aggerations by the interested, the -. vindictive and the timid; it is certain that in some parts of the State there :is' still extraordinary law •lessness, and that the._local.law_willoiot sup- `press it unless invigorated' by at Atlanta or 'AV ashington. - Therßepublicans. of_ the country generally belieire that the General Assembly, as now composed, will not afford a remedy. Hence wises the necessity of action by Congress. " Can this action be taken except under the assumption that - --reconstruction is - domiilete? - I have shown why I think this assumption is not true; and I would not resort to fictions even.to accomplish - a good end. But the de sired end can be reached without any such re sort. The Constitution - non:provides that*no' State shall deny to any person within its juris diction the equal protection of the laws, and that Congress shall have power to enforce thiS provision by appropriate legislation. If this does-not mean that when any part of the peo ple in any State are unprotected bY.a, State. law Congress mao apply a remedy, it has' no meaning that I can discover. Whether the _remedy shall beamincieaseof-theLjurisdiction of the United States Cmirbi, or a change cers and jurors, or a change in the Constitu-_ don of the State made by a convention chosen by such a_constituency_ and under Such rules of - eligibility that Congress may safely , ' trust it,_or the strengthening of a well-dispesed Smote autheliity by military fqrce - , orsome - plan different from all - these; are questions for the - consideration of Congress. This theory-gives: Congress no greater power over Georgia than over any other State when similar; protection• is needed. It avoids the inconsistency of giv ing to Congress a right to correct in Georgia evils which Congress cannot correct in South Carolina or Ohio. It avoids the hardships of depriving the State of a representa don in Congress at a time_when..the action._ of Congress will specially and vitally affect her welfare. It looks not to the reconstruc tion acts, which have done their office in. Georgifi; - birt' - t6 - the — amend ed - CoriStitifilen, - :--which-operates -permanently-and-impartially,- It declares that the government which went into operation here last July is the legal and valid government of Georgia, and will so re main until altered or abolished by competent authority. It maintains the ground taken Ilty the Republicans of Georgia in the late can vass, that the reconstruction of this State had been consummated and would be confirmed by the success of General Grant. It provides for the future without falsifying the past. " No consequence of this theory is more ac ceptable to me than that it would give to MrHill his seat in the Senate. We are informed that there is no 'Objection to him in Washington ou nersonal grounds, and this, I trust, is true. it is presumable that Republican Senators would welcome to their body a man so capable, so upright, so ei - perienced, so sagacious, so ,familiar with that part of , the country which so engages the attention of Congress, so true to _the Union under adverse cir ,unistances, so decided in his attachment to the Republican party, and . yet so high, above mere party Views. Georgia needs him"there. He knows her mistakes, - her sufferings, her, resources and her wants. The wisdoni that inspired his protests against the errors by which her Ancient prosperity was lost; might fitly aid in leading; ter to 'a new prosperity, more healthful and more enduring than the old. If Senators cannot admit him, under . this sense of public duty, I will only say, in • Burkei's words, .'What I may not presume to censure, Trnay haveleave to lament.' " I have written as if Congressidnal action were necessary ; 'and it is necessary, unless there be a speedy and thorough reaction in favor of law and right. I have :hardly dared to hope for such a reaction. But no greater political blessing could come .to our people. On every account it is desirable that the errors of Georgia should be corrected in 'Geotgia, and by herown authorities and people. " The principal grievance which, will be •re dressed- by Cong . . ess, unless voluntarily re dressed here, is the action of our legislative bodies in reference to their own composition, and the persecutions of Republicans and 'col ored men:- Iri fact, thetwo are connected; fer-: these persecutions would be stopped, as far as any governmental agency can stop them,if we had a Legislature rightly disposed. If the Democratic members of the General Assembly would cease to 'follow the bad* counsels of mischievous men who have long been mis leading the State, and would undo.all that has been wrong in the past action,Arld legislate seriously and energetically for the protection of the people, they would remove the strong est reason for stern legislation at Washington. And every , man who hoes his State should second this salutary action by zealous efforts for order and justice as an officer, juror or _ citizen. Ever since the war it has been the chronic folly of many of mfrpeople to contend against the inevitable.

A Centenarian's Birthday. [From the West Cheater Village Record.) On the 7th instant, quite an interesting meeting of relatives assembled at Philip Paxson s, in East Bradford, Chester county, to commemorate the one hundreth birthday of Phebe Thomas. There were present nearly 200 relatives and connections. After the com pany had fully gathered together, Thomas HP Speakman, Esq., of Philadelphia, a grandson, read an interesting Family History, of the centenarian and her branches, down to the fifth generation, of which a number were present. It rarely occurs thatirepresentatives of four generations live under the same roof, yet upon this occasion we found Phebe Thomas, her daughter, grand-daughter; and great-grand-children living together, A sump tuous entertainment bad been provided 'by friend Paxsen, which all enjoyed. - Phebe Thomas was the daughter of Robe' ,and Elizabeth Mendenhall, and was born the farm now occupied by Rebecca Trimble, in Concord Mwnship, Delaware county, on the Seventh day of the AS'eventh month, seventeen hoodred'«nd seve nty. Her grandfather, Benja min Mendenhall, came to this country in. 1086, from a town called Mildenhall (origi nally the family name) in Suffolk, England, a Sister of whom, (Mary) married_ Nathaniel Newlin, a prominent man of; that day. Ann, daughter of Benjamin l beeatiie the Wife of ~Tohn Bartram, the distinguished botanist. In early lite she . resided with a her half sister, Mary, in Darby, from which place she was married in Friends' Meeting, 1792, to Gideon Thomas, of Newtown, Delaware county, where she re sided until4B6s, having been now a widow for near half a century. She bad three chil .dren, Sarah, Robert and Ann, the last named, the widow of Nathaniel Speakman, now re siding with her son-in-law, Philip Paxson. Phebe Thomas has now - living about rfifty great -grand-children, two great-great-grand children, ono niece of 95 years °rage, another Of 92, one of 85, and another of 79, one great nephew of 83 7 —. both Hie last. named„ were Friend Thomas, until about the age of 95, continued to drive about from place to place among her relations and friends, and to meet ing, many miles at a drive, alone with her horse and chair; while so controlling her horse and vehicle it 'as said she never missed the attendance of but one Quarterly Meeting though the place.was 14 miles from her home. It ivas with considerable difficulty her family (noting her gradual .decline of physical vigor) prevailed upon her to discontinue her visits thus alone. She- remembers having heard the .din and roar of the battles of , 'Brandywine and Geranantown, and in April, NO, saw George Washing ton passing through Darby, on his way from Mount Vernon, to take his seat as first President of the United States, at New York. At her birth Philadelphia ,was a town hug ging.the western-shores of the Delaware, with ieW inhabitants ; West Chester had no exis tence in name until some' fifteen years .after. Though our aged friend has been spared from year to year so long, yet a few short years at most, irmay be but months, must number her too with the departed. It may then be well said of her as it was of another, ' "Till like a clock worn out with eating time, The wheels of weary life at last stood still?' •=A cause of feminine - daring is related of a Virginia bepe whb , rode to the edge of a pre7 and,detied any man of the party with whom she was riding to fallow her.

The motive for •his seeking- a suicidal death appears to have been pedunlary and domestic. difliculties_ Mr. Lingard was forty r seVen years of ale, a native of :England, and well known in theat rical circles as the manager' of the 'New Bowery 'Theatre, which was destroyed by fire - in 1866._ Hewes at one tifnea member:of. the coMpany in Barnum's old Museum, and achieved eonSiderable 'reputation 'by the per formanee of the Character of to , Uncle Tom" in Mrs. Stowe's drama, 'and in, the:year-1854- .assuined the Management of the Oldßowery.

THE "THIRD PALIRTY " MOVEMENT IN PITTSBURGH. • _ . 'Failure -: Predicted. ' ['Prom the Pittsburgh Despalrlt, July 7.] Yesterday was theday set apart for holding the Convention of the Third "Party, and the result will be found in full in our local cal mans. We have a high respect for ther gen tlemen nominated' on the ticket; and for many who attended the Convention as delegates, but as a political movement the Convention__ _ was - trfailtire. -- We might -- awry bilf — altialsiti __on the primaries -to --the—Convention-_ : with= - effeet pronriety. It lacked - in bers, enthusiasm, order and good management. . There were seventy dele gates, actually representing Just one hundred and sixty-one Republicans out of -more than ten.thousand,- , -In anewmovement -- 'only thoseran heregarded_as-adherents-whe - actally connect themselves-with the move ment. Established parties may have slen derly attended primaries, yet it, is-known just what strength, an be commanded at the elec tion. The primaries Were the means employed to show just who would come out from, the party and vote for delegates for this Conven don. They were thus the test of the present strength ,of the movement._The Convention was - ~' - - ;iiia,nged, - was spiritless, listless, and closed with out the slightest display of enthusiasm. -True' - ---reforms always -carry enthusiasm - with them. Their promoters are always en thusiastic - blit - thhimovement utterly Jacked, so far as the primaries or Convention showed, enthusiasm or spirit. There were sincere, re spectable gentlemen present. and a few pro fessional politicians, who seemed to rule and manage, but they evidently had a larger task on hand than they were accustomed to. As a result s the whole affair was a failure. The nominations made are in themselves commend able, as embodying the names of: respectable gentlemen, but our understanding js that but few are likely to accept, or to manifest the least interest in the campaign. Their norni nation is weak, in a political sense. The ticket lacks coherency or, political purpose. A, larger number of equally respectable names Could have been found. The affair looks as though, conscious of failure, the managers of the affair determined to extricate themselves from a difficulty by selecting a list of names as candidates for certain offices, and then ad journed, glad - to be rid of an unexpectedly disagreeable and unpromising job. THE NEW CASTLE FIRE. Fuller Particulars. The following from the Wilmington Coat inpreM contains some particulars not Included in our despatch, about the fire in New Castle yesterday At about ten minutes past 10 o'clock, last night, a tire broke out in the Stockton House, at New Castle, and - adVaiiced with fearful rapidity. The Good Will Engine, belonging' in the town, was quickly on duty, but the flames had already made such progress that it could attempt no more than to ,save the stir, rounding property, and the large hotel build ing was rapidly and entirely destroyed, together with an adjoining house belonging to Miss sally Ritchie, of Louisville, Kentucky, and occupied by J. H. Rogers, Esq. The flames at one time spread so rapidly that it wai' feared that all the houses . on Water street would be 'destroyed, and the telegraph operator made unsuccessful efforts to geemes sages' to 'Wilmington, Chester. and Facade!, phia. At this, time, however, a heavy .. rain 'fortunately bettimenced falling and checked, the flames, and the firemen were able to con line the fire to the two houses destroyed: The Stockton House is the largest hotel in the town, and is situated on Waterstreet,near the river. It was insured for $3,500, but in what *company our correspondent there does. itetinforin us. This will not cover the loss. Tlu3 hotel has been unoccupied for some time. CRAIG IN BOSTON. Reception of the Philadelphia Come dian. . . The Boston Transcript says : Mr. Robert Craig,-a burlesque actor of con siderable talent, made his appearance at the Museum on Tuesday night in the farce of the Ores Rehea oat and the Wiriest-Pm of Don Juan, both pieces, we believe, owing their author ship to • Mr. Craig, although we have seen something very like the farce before, and in the matter of burlesque it would seem impos sible to obtain anything new. The main ob.-, .ject ef the farce being to disp . lay Mr. Craig's powers of imitation, it was' in this respect • eminently successful. The imitations ofJel, Person as "RI Van Winkle," of Charles Dickens and -a the reading of - the • trial scene ' from Pickwick, and. others, were remarkably oleyer. His great' success suceeSs in.this way, however, -- was the imita: '- • . ti on of Stuart Robson, -which Was so true. and- -- - irresistibly... droll . that it- was- received- .with Omuta of laughter and applause. in the bur-, • lesque, Mr. Craig assumed female attire and '.; performed the part of Haidee, which he made up witlia_ greater degree of refinement than. most burlesque actors.
