AiER FROM THE ARMY.

LA Elk FROM THE ARMY.
The steamer Sea, arrived last eve.
ming from Brazos Santiago, by way of
Port Lavacca and Galveston.
CAMARGo, August 8 lst, 1876.
Gentlemen: =" Thus far into the
bowels of the land have VIC marched
without impcdimcnt" The First Bri-
gadc, under General Worth, is now well
on to Monterey, and the Second, under
Colonel Z. F. Smith, and Third, under
Colonel Garland, are expected soon to
follow. Captain May: with the Second
Dragons, and Major Monroe, with the
Light Artillery, are to move forward in
the same direction. These, with the
Texans, Ohio, and kentucky volun-
tecrs, all under the command of Old
Rough and Ready, will constitute an
effective force Of 1900. But a portion
Of these, however, will proceed to Mon.
terey, the remainder will be stationed
at different posts in the rear, to guard
them and preserve a communication
with the supplies. This is not a plea
SAINT service for those who arc "cargcr
for the Fray" but it cannot be helped.
The want of proper means Of land
transportation is severely felt, although
general Taylor has an effective force of
nearly $4,000 men, not q single addi-
ton of wagon has arrived, and the con-
veyance of baggage and acoutremen,s
is effected exclusively by mules, Of
which, 1900 or 1000 have been hired
or purchased from the Mexicans.
You have learned ere this that on the
24th general Worth arrived at the town
of Salado, some 10 miles distant, and
there awaits the arrival of the main
body of the Army. Lieut.. Kane, is
here with $50 men to guard the public
stores. Gen. Taylor is confident of
reaching Monterey by the 18th Septem-
Der, and by the LIST Of October, will pro-
badly be at Saltillo, sixty miles from
Monterey. He anticipates no resistance
to his progress to the former place. We
hear that there are some three or four
thousand Mexican soldiers at Monterey,
the command of Mejia, but they are Who'll
ly inefficient, and scarcely kept together
by force. They will dispersc at the first
rumor of our approach, or or am scri-
ousIy mistaken. Yours, FEC.

From tie Sumter Pilot.


These destructive little vermin are
making sad havoc throughout the length,
and breadth, and depth of all cotton
fields in this section Of the country.
They come in myriads, as though by
magic, so sudden and universal is their
simultaneous appearance. A cloudy,
damp state of atmosphere, accompanied
by a rapid and sappy growth of the cot
ton plant, seems to favor the procreation
Of these all-mouthed little gluttons.
They are deposited by butterfly, in
the twilight of evening, on the tender
bud at the end of branch of the cotton
plant BY morning the eggs are hatch
ed, and Immediately the work of destruc.
ton commences. They are then not
larger than common sewing needle.
They start down the branch Of the plant,
pcrlorate the first square or form, which,
in q few hours, spread wide open.
Their growth is very rapid and accor
ding to their age and size, so they attack
the bolls of different ages and sizes. One
worm will destroy about twenty squares
and bolls if they arc convenient to the
worms access. If the weather turns off
very hot and dry, they leave the cotton
and go into the ground, like the cole
wort worm, and come out and cat in
the night and return again when the
sun shines holly. They cannot survive
hot and dry weather. In the space Of
two weeks they can destroy one third
or more of the most promising crops Of
Of cotton: And the richer the land and
the more luxuriant the crop, the more
complete is the destruction they pro-
ducc.
And | have never heard Of any remc-
dy for the prevention Of this Egyption
plague. The destruction of the vermin,
after they are cngered, seems to be the
only feasible manner of getting rid of it.
TO do this, have given to each of my
field hands bottle, which they suspend
around the neck with a string. The
bottle is filled one third full of water.
Each hand then takes his row, as at
other work. and examines each stalk
finds the worm at his destructive meal
gathers it and drops it in the bottle,
and the worm soon browns. For the
flrst few hours, it seems to be slow bu-
s'ness, but they soon become as expert
as turkeys, and will gather from five to
fifteen hundred worms day. AT night
each one brings up his bottle-we
strike a wiring, all the worms are coun-

They have fortified the Temple; have

We have been much pleased to
learn that the health Of Chancellor
Harper has been greatly improved
of late by his sojourn at GIcnn's
Springs, and that his friends now
confidently entertain the hope that
all extended career Of usefulness
is again open to linn. We sin
ccrcly trust that their hopes may
not prove 1allacious, for there are
but few of the public servants Of
the State who could not be better
spared than Judge Harper, in
whom are combined the highest
qualities both Of head and heart.
Long may he occupy the seat he
so ably and honorabIy fills, for it
would be difficult indeed TO supply
his place with another in all

PUMPING TIE WATER OUT or LAKE
MICHlCAN.-It is we'll known tn
our readers that by an arrange
ment with the English Bond hold
er, the State Of Illinois has given
over to them the unfinished canal,
from the waters of Lake Michigan,
at Chicago to the illinois River.
They are about completing it, but
the principal difficulty now is to
supply it with water, owing to the
level of the Lake being eight feet
below the bottom of the canal.
TO overcome this the present
company, after various PROPOSE
tions, finally hethought themselves
Of raising the wafer Of the Lake
so as to supply the canal.

ther it could be done, and what

accomplish it. These gentlemen
soon furnished an answer, and the
other day received in return an
order TO build some powerful ma

engine and eight pumps of four

We are glad to hear that this en-

The Cotton Crop.-Thc papers arc al
most filled with accountSo of the ravagcs Of
the Caterpillar and bole worm through
on, tho country, and if those accounts
be true, the cotton crop must nc
ccs$arily be short this season. The
accounts particularly from the West arc
dishcartcning. From Il letter dated
Richland, Holmes County. Mississippi;
Sept Sd, which Il friend has been kind
enough to allow us the pcrusal Of, VIC
learn that in that county the brightest
prospects arc blasted. The writer states
that one OF his ncighbors, who has lG5
acres in cotton, will not make 80 bales :;
another is offering his crop of l4u acres,
for SO bales; and 4 third who has 100
acres planted, will take 20 bales for the
whole In Louisiana. Alabama and
some parts Of Georgia, the prospects are
equally gloomy, nor have the crops in
our own State escaped the ravagcs Of
the destroyers, but in nearly all the cot
ton growing regions they have made
their appearance in greater or less num-
bcrs

vices from Mexico, that Il new Ministry

Santa Anna is still at his country seat
near Jalapa lndisposcd, but will start for

paration going on to prosecute the war.

equipped complete 10 march against
Gen. TAYLOR, but the commander can
not be prevailed upon to leave the capi-
tai. The squadrons are blo,kading

ra Cruz, they send you bullocks, and the
country women desire to come on board
to look at the ship. Eight miles South,
they actually come in their boats and
send invitations off for fandango.
From these demonstrations we should
conclude that but little will be left for
our army now to do in Mexico, and that
Mexican valor had expired upon the
battle fields Of Palo Alto and Rcsaca
