Tur BOIL WoRM.-We learn with re- cret that the boil worm has made its appear ance in some sections of this county, and that its ravages have proven quite destruc- tive. Estimates by experienced and ob- serving planters have placed the injury at not less than 30 per cent. ot the crop, on those plantations where they have been for some time. Complaints of a similar kind we learn, are made in the adjoining coun- ties, but we are unable at present to state whether these are general or merely local at this time. We observe also in number of our exchanges that the boil worm has made it's appearance in other sections, and excited fears aud apprehensions of extensive injury.
 There has yet been no appearance ot army worm that marks its way with such sipnal destruction. ltiS usual and natural that fears should be entertained of the de- structive effects of these great enemies ot the cotton plant, and each year almost in variable presents it's lists of apprehensons and alarms, but the planter unless he lives lin a section which has been the locality ot all the ravages of these natural enemies of the Southern staple, may remain quiet and diminution of the cotton crop, and rest satisfied that small crop brings the largest returns and recommendations of his la bors.- Brandon Republican

The United States Land Commissioners in California have rendered decision the case of Cruz Cervantes, wbich COWS the ground of contest in the great maldty Of issues between the United States d the private claimants. The grant of thu land, which was located within ten milesf the sea coast, had not been confirmed E the Provincial Assembly according to tlF re- quirements; and in many respects theTaim- ants had not conformed to the letter the law. The Commissioners unanimouv de- cided that the manifest intention Q the claimant must be respected, and therant consequently confirmed. This rulings re- garded as decisive of the great majoiy of the claims founded on the Mexican gantS, and some trouble is anticipated frori the opposition of the settlers who have mixed out their quarter sections upon the dBPI.sed territory, under expectation ot acfirng the title under the United States prt-np- ton law.-N. y.
