There is some alarm in this neighboa
hood on account Of the recent appearance,
Of the army worm in the cotton fields.
It is feared that great damage win be donS
lby them this year. Asyet, they have onli
shown themselves in spots, but in few
days they may spread all over the fields
and, if they do, away goes all the fall CROP
They are also reported to be doing much
injury to the cotton in other parts Of The
State, particularly in the Red River par
ishes. No yellow fever here.

Co The N. O. Courier thus discourses
upon the all-absorbing topic-the Sub
marine cable-in its issue of the 9th inst.
We agree with the Courier, that our north
ern friends are making great asses of them
selves when they proclaim that "the day
upon which the connection Of the cable
was completed was the most important
one which has dawned on earth since the
Crucifxion." This is putting it on rather
too thick, in all conscience Says the
Courier:
"Our exchanges come to us this morn
ing so absorbed with the Great Atlantic
Cable-with histories Of its progress, re-
ioicings in its success, and speculations
upon its future effects-that we find but
little variety in them. OF course, to a
great extent, we share the feelings which
they express. We admire the grandeur
of the scheme and the boldness of its exc
cution. Il stands mighty triumph Of
Mind over Matter-of human Will ovet
Wind, Wave and Fire. We can appreciate
too, its probable influence upon the inter
national relations of the world, whether
social or commercial. But we cannot KEEP
pace with Northern ardor. When we heai
one Northern paper declare the day upor
: which the connection of the cable wa
completed the most important which haI

find several others treating that connection
J as the last act necessary to inaugurate tn
Golden Era which poets and philanthro
pists dream of--that age ofuniversal peac
and universal plenty, which will be when
I 'The war-drum throbs no longer and th
battle-fag is furled,
! In the parliament Of man, the federation o
the world"
we confess we must "cave in"
We can admire the science, the skill an,
the pluck which laid the cable, and we ca
feel a national pride in the part which on
