continually coming ia evidences Of the state
ment, and all unite in tesfyng to the rapdity with
which the ruin bag been accomplished. In fields
where week sincc not sign of disease was mani

The Columbus (llss Argus, Of the 9th instant,
fays that the cotton crop in Mississippi though very

being now. The boil worm, caterpillar and rains,
have proved very destructive on the prairie lands,
and no person at all acquainted with planting
thinks the crop will average more than tHo-thirds

this result.

never was moro promising. The excessive rains
since then has and viii materially injure the crops
All low and level lands have rusted and she'd of
everything except the grown bolis From present

be made.
A correspondent at Piscola, Lowrdes county, Gays
that the cotton crop is certainly Injured hom the

done by them yet
ALABAMA.
The Salem Gala Reporter. Of the 10th, fears The
quantity Of rain which bad fallen the previous week
would prove yery destructive to the cotton crop
the boil worm would increase its dcpredations.
The Tuscaloosa tAla) Monitor, Of the 9th instant,
says:-We learn from our exchanges, and from psi-
vate sources, tina. the boil worm is doing considera
bic damage to tho cotton sNps in Alabama and MIS-.
sissippi. a rather wet ss6son and the recent cool
weather have favored their operations, is shown
by the fact that the limited districts that have hal
hut little rain about the only entire|ycxemp.
For several weeks pas. the damage done By the boil

CORN AND POTATOES
| A destructive worm, believed to be tho g army
! worm, so formidable to cotton planters in Missis
! sippi, Alabama, SC has made its appearance with
in the last few weeks several Of the plantations
near Raleigh, and the neighboring counties Its
rayages are confined chiefly to the late corn and pea
| crops Fortunately its appearance was too late to
| affect the corn crop generally These insects move
IN bodies and destroy every vestge of green vegeta-
tion in their course
The Wilmington {Dcl) Republican states that the
potato crop in Mill Greek Hundred is affected to
considerable extent
| We learn from Mississippi that everywhere the
corn crop is most fourshing, and the yield will be
! immense, greater than it has ever before been in
this section OF the country; and the same, We be-
lieve, may be said of tho potato crop.
