Iwrite merely to ask that you acquaint the
holders Of Planters Cotton in France and En-
gland, as early as possible. Of the appearance
Of the Caterpillar in our fields. They have
shown themselves OH nearly al the islands Of
the sea coast. Coming so early in: the season,
and when the crop is unusually backward and
bushy, there is no room for doubt (unless Au-
gust be very dry and hot monthly that their
ravages will be as extensive and ruinous To
the grower. If not more so, than IN 1925. In
that year the crop was more forward and the
appearance Of the worm later"

The Albany (Geo.) Courier the 25th inst,
announces the appearance Of the Caterpillar
among the cotton plants. The coldness of the
weather and the incessant rains are assigned
,as the cause Of this early appearance Of the
worm. 1t is however hoped, that plenty Of
sun and heat may ahate the nuisance, before
j. has time to produce irretrievable injury.

MI. Calhoun and Mr., PicEeas-We
have received several communications on
the subject of Mr.. Picken's speech al,
EdgeGeld, in.relaton to the Mexican war.
We have declined publishing them, and
do not intend changing our resolves.
Toour other correspondents on the same
subject, wetrust ii will be enough 10 saw.
that w,s are confident they misre present ,s
MIR. Picken's position at the Edgefeld
meeting. The whole substance of rha,
gentlemau's.remarks, was 10 show, thai,
we ought to be prepared to carry on the
the Mexican war vigorously. and he only
differed with MIR. Calhoun in wishing to
delay the declaration of war. for a single
hour. Upon this Irifling issue. certain busv
bodies. in The Stale, would make il appear
that Mr.. Pckens is at daggers points with
Mr.. Calhoun.
We sustain Mr.. Calhoun, in most Of
his opinions. He has been our political
teacher; but. if there is any lesson, we
have learned from his Instructions. more
las,inglv than another, it is TO dcspise ,ba,
fawning subserviency TO the opinion of
any man, which makes one a slave and
sycophant. Those, who suppose that Mr..
Calhoun issonly satisfied, when RECEIVING
the incense ofpraise, know not the man
Independent, in his own opinions, he loves
independence in Others; nor, can he be
brought 10 ienterlain less than scorn for
any man, who is willing to place his con
science and reason al the disposal of n
master.
Certain papers Of the Stale have been
delighling themselves, al the supposed run.
ture between Mr.. Calhoun aud Mr.. Pick.
ems. They felicitae themselves too soon.
Upon all The great political questions of
the day, Soulh Caroliua is still undivided
in opinion, and no where, do Two warmer
political friends exist than Mr.. Calhoun
and Mr., Pickens. Indeed. Mr.. Pickens
has too long stood shoulder to shoulder
with Mr. Calhoun, in the same political
battles The. is patrior, of impulses Too
pure-a statesman, Of saSacily, TOO acute,

general conducts small skirnish, when
