The Cotton Miller.

OEoLoNA, Miss, July 18th 1858.
Dear Sir: send you, enclosed in
bottle, specimen Of the cotton miller.
I discovered that great numbers Of the
worms had bored into the cotton stalks
for the purpose of wintering there
They eat the pith for an inch or so, and
close up their entrance hole with trans
parent substance resembling isinglass.
which affords them light. The cotton
stalk is fine non-conductor, and no cold
weather that we have can injure the
worms enclosed in them. When the
ground is bedded up in the winter or early
spring, most Of the worms that go into
the ground are exposed and perish, but
those that hibernate in the cotton stalk
are protected, and come out in May or
June. Ten or fifteen years ago it was
the universal custom of planters to burn
up their stalks, and the boil worm was
scarcely known since they have adopted
the newer plan of breaking down their
stalks, the worm has increased until it
has become the greatest enemy the cot
ton plant has.
Would it not be of service to the cot
ton interest for you in your report to call
the attention of planters to the fact, that
the boil worm has become troublesome
only since they abandoned the old-fash-
ioned plan of burning their cotton stalks !?

worm enters the stalk near the top, aud

TRIAL JUsTIcB.-A correspondent in Corda-
vile tSouthboro0 expresses particular satsfac-
ton at the designation of Benjamin Boynton,
Esq, assTrial Justice, although he indicates that
they are politically opposed to each other. He
says, that, during the last five years. out of more
than one hundred criminals that have been con.
yicted by him, there have been but three or four
appeals; that, in the cases Of the appeals, his
judgment has been sustained in every instance in
the higher court and that in all the cases where
he has bound over parties to a higher tribunal,
conviction has followed When the law is so ad
mini'tered, its purposes are best subserved-its
just and impartial administration reduces the ex.
Pense to the State, and tends to check the com
mission of crime.
These considerations. the.writer thinks, Justify

Westboro' and vicinity, in asking for this desig.
nation, and Of Governor Banks, in acceding to
their request.

MELANCHOLY DEATH IN SOUTH RoYALsToN.
correspondent of the Boston Journal states
thar on Sunday evening last Henry Watts, aged
fourteen years, eldest son OF Timothy and Mary
Ann Clark, of South Royalston, left home
to attend religious meeting On the way, in
passing over plank bridge that lies across the
road, guarded at each end by tier of rocks
placed there for the protection of carriages, he
stepped upon the end of plank, projecting be-
yOnd the abutment of the bridge, which gave way
and precipitated him down a distance of seven
feet. As he found the plank on which he stood
giving way, it is supposed that he grasped one of
the large stones, weighing nearly half ton, and
by the effort displaced the stone, which fell upon
him, mangling his arm and shoulder and break
ing in the stomach. DR.. J. W. Gould was soon
in attendance, but the patient was beyond the
reach Of medical aid. He fingered about twenty
minutes and expired. The deceased was much
beloved by all who knew him, asd was a constant
attendant upon the instructions of the Sabbath
school,

Mr.. Houston of Texas tried to bring IN

over Mexico. He said if the government of
this nation do not interpose in the name of
outraged humanity in Mexico, men will be
found who Will not shrink from interpospg

possible that there was an entire want of
