dry Wing, Of the 18th inst, says it con-
tinur> to receive the most dishcurtcniny
rcount> from the contry in relation to
o,ton crop. We copy the following
i. .c Wing:
backwur,iness Of the season has
i..a'!c the crops a month later than usual,
and the appearance OF the caterpillar be-
fore the bolls had fairly begun to open,
has destroyed every hope OF being able
to make seed. Many large plantations
will no, realize enough from the nett
proceeds Of their crops to pay their over
seers. We met Il few days since gen
,lcman who has twelve hundred acres
i'll cotton OH l'ayon EGufl, who assures
us that he will not make off the twelve
hundred acres moro than ten bales.
The following is from the Red River
Republican, published at Alexandra,
OF the 9th instant
AS we expected, the catcrpilars have
done the business for the crop in this
parish. Sumo of our oldest and most
experienced planters. after personal
examination; have expressed their opl-
Mon that fourth of il crop will not be
made in this parish. There were, ac-
cordng to their calculation upwards Of
10000 bales raised in the parish last
season, and this year, according to their
estimate, there will not be 10000 bales
made
The Western Democrat, of the 9th
instant, confirms the above, and gives as
bad picture Of the crops on the Qua
chita.
The Natchitoches Chronicle of the
9Th inst, says the crop Of that parish has
been almost wholly destroyed
The Caddo Gazette Of the 2sth ult.
says the destruction had not then been
general in that parish, but in some cases
entire destruction had taken place.

ter the men had pushed off their boat
they were attacked by body of Mexl-
cans, secreted in the chapparaI on the
bank of the river Three of our party
were killed; the remainder jumped
overheard, and reached the bank on this
side. During the afternoon, the Mexi.
cans kept up fire from their musketry,
and succeeded in killing one mule and
slightly wounding another. The troops
having no means of crossing over the RI
YER, took up their line of march for this
place, being already under orders TO that
effect. Undoubtedly by this time, this
signal uactory is herald through Mexico,
as giving additional lus,re TO the arms Of
The banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1844-1847, 1846-09-23

ted out, so that the days work Of each
one may be Judged Of. This day with
p hands, we have caught, counted, xii
led, and offered up on the shrine of
wondering poultry, over twelve thou
sand cotton worms, and tomorrow we
expect to double this amount. We can
catch at least 10000 worxns IN a day.
Each worm in the course of his life will
destroy twenty squares and bolls- This,
then, Is 4 net saving Of 100000 boIls of
cotton per day; and field hands have
but little now to do, as cotton is not
opened sufficiently to commence pick
ing.
a great many people, in the plcn,i-
tudc OF southern dignity and chimney
corner wisdom, effect to laugh at this
simple and primeval method of routing
these rumous vcrmln; because they
say it looks so ridiculous, to sec grown
up man picking up worms like turkey
cock But it must look equally ridicu-
lous to the proprietor and the ovcrsccr
too, to sec large field of cotton stalks,
big enough to make a bale of cotton to
the acre, and that garnishcd without
three hundred pounds of blue, half
opened, worm eaten cotton.
Try it, and if you do not like the mo-
dus opcrondi, you can quit it in half
minute.
1t is now too late to thcorizc or book
farm the worm out of your colt on fields.
