Noitwicu, Sept. Iftth, 1(537. I have observed neveral statements nnd opinions m iho Chronicle relative to the wheat worm (or midget, a- I havo heard n called, ) so in variance, wi h what I con. ceivijin bo the truth, mat I have conclu ded lo trouble you with some ot iny own observations.

From what has been published upon the subject, I should judge but very lew have seen the fly or the way in winch theegg is deposited. I discover ed it iny-tdf for the first time two years since, when examining a piece 'if wheat about sunset. I saw them 1 should judge throe or lour times as numerous as the heads of wheat, the same m color, shape, ind MZ", ns the worm, with tho addition ol wings, eel. I Mese were employed (like In hue in the act uf slinging) in piercing through iho lower part of iho ho'l which encloses the kernel, thus leaving tho ngg whero it is sale Iroui any outward injury. Nuw there was no wheal raised the year beforo within at len-l a mile of this ; which eslabli-hes the facl that ihey will travel a cousideiiblo distance in a sca-oii. There is nothing in (hu nature of the insecl lo prevent lliein from thing twenty miles or more.

The ca-c of tho unlinppy man, who has been Drought into tlm province from Mac kenzie's River, on a charge of murder, has naturally excited n good deal ot interest and sympathy. Iho natural feeling ol ptty is in the present instance heightened by tlio con-iiioratioo, that the prisoner, con. nccled with nn interesting race, has been carried five thnusnud miles from homo otid kindred, to bo capitally tried by strangers. and that loo at the instance ol an nssocia lion so powerful and wealthy ns the Hud son's Bay company. An impression has gone abroad that tho Hudson's liay Com pony is, from interested motives, anxiou lo procure Iho conviction and execution ol this man, Cadien; and to efface this impres bion, it is only necessary to detail the wholo facts ot the tragedy. In doing this one cannot be charged with prejudging the case, lor Uadicn Mas litmscll pleaded godly to tho fact of (he alleged inossacro. Ca d ten's plea, it is true, attempted to soften the massacre into excusable homicide, by nverring that he acted on the occasion in self defence, but the following detail will show how widely his views of self defence differ from those of the law. An accurate statement, moreover, has been rendered necessary by the garbled accounts of va nous journals. Baptist e Cadien is a mctif, or half breed about thirty years old. His mother wa of tho Dog Rib tribe, and his father a Ca. Indian vovagenur, known many vears ago on McKen.Ki's river by the soubriquet of ol Oaiiieu jjaiai. uorn and nurtured ai Fort Norman, a post, of the Hudson's Bay Company on McKcnzio's river, Baptiste Cadien was always respected among the natives as a white man a circumstance winch is necessary to bo remembered in the sequel. At the date of tho massacre he hold the situation of interpreter at Fort Norman. Some lime previous to tho alleged mur der; Cadien had seduced the wife of one of the Hiro Indians, and carried her home in triumph. To tho credit of the Company be it told, ho was subsequently compelled to re-tore her to her husband by llie com inander ot b ort Norman. The sequel will lmw that the Company's agent had the full merit of the restitution. While yet hiirnio ivitli lust nnd rvongo Rapt isle Cadien, accompanied by Creole Ligraij-e and Biipti.-ie Jourdaiu, metif bko mtn-clf, was sent with dogs nnd sledge for ll-h thai had been taken in the full at a lake about six days winter's journey from 1 lie establishment ot f ort Norman. I hey were attended by two Indians and a boy I ho buy belonging to the same baud ol Hire Indians as dulien's piramour and her husband. Tlic fish hawliugpartv 111111 unfortunately found this band of Indian encamped abnut tho middle of their route In anticipation of such a meeting, Cadien, during the journey, had frequently express ed his determination to get possession of his paramour and to inflict vengeanco on her husband, nud, but for the deprecatory entreaties of Jourtlian, would havo mur dered the Hare Indian boy merely on ac count of his blood. It was Christmas Bvo of 1 035, when Cadien nud ins companions reached the narty of Hare Indians, consisting nf the husband and wife aforesaid, and about fif teen others of both sexes and various ages. Cadien and his coinnamuns were hospi tably received by the Indians, nnd feasted according to the custom of the country. In the course of the night, Cadien, tolil Lagraisse and Jourdiui, who wore them selves unacquainted with the Ilaro Indian language, that their hosts had il in con lemplati mi (o murder them, and strcuuoo-ly urged the necessity nf saving ihenist'ive hy massacreing tho whole parly. Ligrais sft appeared to enter into his blood'lnrsty views; but Jourdain refused lo imbrue li s hands, more particularly on Christinas tl iy mind the hospitnlttics of tlio Indians. On the mnrning of the 20th Canton renewed his diabolical suggestion; but, finding Jour (lain still unwilling to participate 10 the contemplated atrocity, he pretended to abandon his design. Cadien and his companions then pre pared 0 depart; but. after Ihey had actu ally tackled their dog? to the sleds, Cadien beckoned tu an Indian lo .approach, as if intending give him a httln ammunition. On approaching, the poor fellow held out a piece of c'olh to receive the amunitioti. and was shot down like a tleer by Cadien, who by (bus murdering una victim io culd blood, was able to satisfy himself, that he bad a right to nay thu others in self-do fence. The report of the pistol brought all the Indians out of their tents, and Cadien. nficr pointing out lo Lagraisse and Jourdain that there was no longer any room for hesitation, or choice, commenced the work of indiscriminate slaughter, discharging and reloading his fire arms with demoniac expedition, Lagraisse seconded him with apparent gocd will ; and in a very brief pace ot tunc, they had eleven barmles and unsuspecting fellow creatures strewed uround them on tho Bno,v, in (he agonies of death. What the fire-arms left imperfectly dono, was completed by 1 lie knife the.tuorderers ripped open the bellies of men women, and children. Jniiruain, meanwhile, was keep ing up appeartnees by firing powder alono into a tent, utid immediately ul'ior fell, ns by accident, nml broke the mock ol Ins gun Being sent by Cadien to see that (lie work was effectually done, tin saved (lie life ofan old woman and some boys, by throwing a babuff,,l( robo ovvr the former, and effacioj iho foot-prinlfl of the latter by means of hit own mow rdiocs. Among tho murdered victims wai the liu-hand uf Cadien's paramour; and so fur ns Cudion knew, she was the sole survi vor of the whole band.
