ANOTHER MoTHop OF DESTROYING THE MIL
LER OR CoTToN FLY.-The Eutaw Wing states
that several planters are trying the following plan
for destroying the cotton fly Place through the
field at regular intervals, number of plates filled
with molasses and vinegar, which act as traps for
the flies. The plates TO be set upon stakes high
as the top of the plant. The plates to be put out
in the evening. The Wing also says that some
plantess have caught several thousand flies in sim
gle night.
Cotton continues to do well and will soon begin
to open. And should it measuraby escape the raw
ages of the worm, and the fall prove late one, the
crop in this section will out much better than
that of last year Greensboro, (Aka) Beacon.

A letter dated Huntsville, Texas, July &c, 1850
says: The crops both Of corn and cotton very
backward. Frost will certainly come upon
all the cotton possibly mature, if the plan
shall be fortunate enough to escape the ravages
of the worm. The grass worm is much dreaded.

The favorable change in the weatherin this coun-
ty for the last four weeks, has acted almost like
magic, and corn and cotton generally promise fine
yield.-La Grange (1er) Monument.
Extract of a letter to the publishers of the Civil
ian from Liberty
Crops are revving considerably-if the fall is
late and the stay off, the cotton will yet turn
out much better than expected. The crops up
on sandy and well drained lands are quite prosper
GUS My own cotton crop is very much injured by
being mostly bad stand and in low ground-my
corn crop is good-eane crops look fine where the
water could be carried of. - atUeston CiUtiian,

We sum up thus: The spring has been cold
the stand bad, the plant backward beyond prece-
dent. If, however the weather should continue
warm and dry, and the worm does not come, and
the fall is late, there will be fair crop made. All
these must unite. A rainy season, the worm, or an
early frost will cut down the crop to half
FATAL MIsTAKE.-Recently gentleman by
the name of Hall was killed by the taking of corro-
sive sublimate instead ofcalomel. The mistake was
that of the apothecary. We suboin the prescription
of the physician for calome with one for corrosive
sublmate. IL will be seen that there is some re-
semblance but not enough to excuse careful man
from falling into such terrible error:
Prescription for CalomeL--"Sub Muriate Hy-
dar. TO-. For COrr9siUs S1t5limase-'Mu rate
Hydar Fost." In England such cases are con-
sdered in the light of nansaughter, and in one in
stance there of very gross careessness, resulting in
death, an apothecary was sent to Botany Bay.

in the war with Mexico. Three of them opened
the battle of Palo Alto and the other four were the
last fired at Buena Vista.
