Cotton Worms again

The Concordia (La.) InteIligencer an
nounces that cotton worms have appeared
IN the fields there. Prof. FOrshey, in pub
ilshed statement, says that they are not the
same which destroyed the crop last year,
but that the indications are that the same
kind may appear. The editor of the In
telligencer says that is Of no consequence
whether they are the same or not, as they
are destroying the crop.
The worms appeared in Concordia last
year about six weeks earlier than in this
section Of country.

The Presidency.

The Presld entail election is but little over
year off, yet so much has the public at
tention been rivetted upon the events of
the war, that scarce an alluson has been
made to candidates for the Presidency, if
we except the extensive helaballo which
has been raised about the especial fitness
of old Gen. Taylor for the station. But re-
Gently, we have seen some indications of
a movement in favor Of LEVI WOODBURY..
of New Hampshire. "From the lights be-
fore u.s. he is our man and we shall take
occasion ere long to give reasons at length
why we think there would be a peculiar
fitness in his nomination. We believe all
sections of the Union have confidence in
HIM, and that he would be more accepta-
BILE at this time TO the Southern Democracy
than any other prominent statesman at the
North. But Judge w. is no sectional man
he has heart large enough to embrace
his whole country.
The Columbus (Ga.) Times says:
The North is entitled to give to the De-
mocratic party the next candidate, if the
North can give us one faithful to Democrat
tic views of the Constitution, and therefore
just to the South and her institutions. Lee
vi Woodbury., of New Hampshire, with as
firm Southern heart as Messrs. Benton
or Calhoun, is such man.
The Charleston rs. C.) Mercury copies
this, with the following response:
Levi Woodbury. has as true heart and
as sound head as South or North could
finnish We know and resnect tb,, ,,,, |
for his virtue, his abilities and his honesty. |
and we should feel that the rights aud no.
nor and feelings of the South would be as
much respected by him, if in power. as the |
noblest Roman Of them ALL
This does not look as if the Mercury was
going off with the Tay Tor huzza.
We hope to see further NOV ements, es-
pecially by the Democratic press of this
State, Zone of which has preceded us,) in
favor of Woodbury..
