That beats the very dickens
Thereat. he strongly grasped my hand,
And said "'tis plain 10 see,
This world is SO transmogrifed,

Your hnmp-backed women, rocks for coal,
Your thing which chickens hatchens,
Have turned the earth so upside down,

A HIT AT WIDows.-It is said that on
q certain time a Chinese widow being
found tanning the grave of her husband,
was asked why she performed so singular
an operation. She said she had promis
ed not TO marry again while the grave re-
NAMED damp, and that as it dried very
slowly, she saw no harm in assisting IN

Since December 4, the market for cot
ton has advanced from three farthings to
a penny, Chat is from II to 2 cents) per
pound--a London circular OF high au-
thority says GO fully a penny" which is
within fraction of tsoo cents. This, it must
be recollected however. includes the ad-
vance reported in our last of cent, re-
cieved by arrivals of packets at Savannah
and New York with accounts to 18th or
18th of December. So that the advance
upon prices ruling at the date of the ar
rival of the Hibernia, is al least from a
cent to a cent and half per pound
This advance is by far the most important
for many months; and if calculated on a
crop of 100000 bags Of 400 pounds
each, would swell to the enormous amount
of eight to 'tWelre millions of dollars the
enhan ced value of our staple production
by single arrival. This important ad
vance sis founded upon the sober fact that
the stock on hand in the whole Kingdom
is only little more than one half what II
was year ago. There was no resisting
this, and the advance was inevitable"

The Cotton Worm.

The following letter from the venerable
Thomas Spalding, of Ga, deserves the
serious attention of cotton planters. Mr..
S. is one OF the earliest cuItivators of cot
ten IN this country, and his suggestions
are entitled TO the utmost Difference. We
are told that thousands upon thousands of
moths, or butterflies, resembling those that
left the larvae from which the worms were
Matched last summer, and believed to be
technically the same, may now be found
sheltered in fadder-stacks, cribs, and other
warm places, awaiting the coming of sum-
mer to repeat the mischief of last season.
An intelligent farming friend, speaking TO
us of this some weeks ago, suggested the
plan of destroying the moth by fires around
the field. 1t is the opinion of many OBJ
servant men, that unless some means be
devised to prevent the ravages of these
worms, the culture of cotton must be mea-
surably abandoned. Ed'r M. Dem.

TEA AND CoFFEE.-The late resou-
ton of Congress, declaring it inexpedient
to tax tea and coffee, during the war, is
thus commented on by the Charleston
Mercury
Gas to the contemplate argument
against taxing tea and cofee,-because
the poor consume it as we'll as the rich
we would ask these sticklers for interest Of
the poor, where was your humane zeal,
when IN the late Tariff Bill, the sugar
which sweetens the tea and coffee, was
taxed thirty per cent? Where were you
when salt was taxed2 Where was your
tender consideration for the poor when his
flannel, his blanket, his woollen clothing,
his coarse cotton shirting-all of which
the rich never consume at all, was taxed
twenty-five and thirty per cent? And
how much more iron and coal does the
mlllionite use, than the poorest of the
poor. He does not handle axes and plows.
A single FIRE place warns his richly car
peted and curtained saloons. Yet all
these you have voted for-nay! denoun
ced them as entirely toe low; yet when q
tax by no means as exclusively operating
on.the poor lin the midst of war-a war
OF your crcation-a war you approve oI
and supports asked for by the Admins
tration, you talk about the poor!"

SAPELo ISLAND, Jan'y %, 1S47.

SAPELo ISLAND, Jan'y ~, 1871.
Gentlemen: Some letters have appear
ed in the newspapers respecting the cater
pillars surviving the winter, either in the
butterfly, or IN the cocoon or ohrysaIio
state. The sole objection | can have to
such letters, is, that they may Iull the
planter into repose, and prevent him from
using all the vigilance he would use In
destroying the caterpillar by fire, either in
its egg, in its chrysal, or in its butterfly
condition.
While in Savannah recently, my black
managers found in the grass, along the
roads, and around the fields, many butter
flies of the caterpillar species. My daugh-
ter's driver found suspended to the grass,
in his fields, several of the cocoons or
chrysaIis, quite alive, which he brought to
the house, not knowing was away.
These are facts | give, because wish
every planter, from here to Texas, to burn
up and clear around his fields, as far as his
convenience will permit
That it should have been doubted for a
moment that the caterpillar might survive
the winter, is only wonderful when all ana
logy would have confirmed the fact.
The sik-worm lays its egg in May
these eggs are preserved on paper or cloth
until January, and then to prevent toe
early Matching, placed in an lce-house-
no cold Injuries them.
The cut-worm, so destructive to our In
dian corn crops, from Name to Texas
does its work of ruin from April to June
according to latitude. When ITS work o
mischief is over, It, too, becomes chry
sails; buries itself in the earth not more
than an inch deep Many of them come
out as flies, but many remain for the yea
round in this condition, to be exposed b,
the plough or hoe in the winter or spring
waiting the search of birds And it is Il
this cleaning of the birds that we oftel
owe the preservation of our Indian corr
crop.
After fifiy-three years of cotton culture
and after more losses than any other plan
ter in the United States has sustained b.
caterpillar, believe the last hope of stav
ing the plague, must be found in fire.
First, clearing up and burning around on
felds-fres lighted up, in every field. a
far as possible, every dark night, as 500
as the caterpillar make their appearance
in any part of the country, however dis
tant; for they come truly like thief
the night, and they fly, like the candle
moth, which they greatly resemble, to tn
light. A single moth destroyed 10 tn
spring by FIRE, may stay the destruction I
millions before the month of August {
September
Respectfully, your very obt sv't,
THOMAS SPALDING.
