We are happy to perceive that the Orange trees in East Florida have been but slightly injured by the recent cold weather. We are inclined to think it will turn out to be a positive benefit by the destruction of the orange insect which has so long infested them. It is a curious fact that the Thermometer did not indicate any greater degree of cold at this place than at Smyrna, 60 miles further South, while at Marianna in West Florida not more than 40 miles further North, it was fifteen degrees colder. If the result shall be the extinction of the orange insect it will be remembered as long for good, as was the cold of 1835 for its disastrous effects upon the orange trees.
