One Of the most destructive creatures in

insidious ravages, and many q people, IN
the full. tide Of apparent prosperity, brought
to sudden and appalling ruin, scarcely
knowing what invisible agent had wrought
tie devastation. An army worm has made.
its appearance in our country. It differs
from the army wor1n Of the agricultural
world, By wearing tile appearance Of Pla-

It draws the ife-b1ood out Of its country 3
army and ont Of The country itself, BY
means Of bills and contracts. No army
and no country can long withstand its raw

sueaa disease and famine must be the in
evitable consequence.
The army worm of which we speak re-

The Memphis Avalaache calls vigorously for
an army to defend Memphis from invasion by
the troops at Cairo, by marching upon them
and slaughtering them promiscuously. We
extract enough to show the spirit Of the Sc
cession animal:
The concentration of this army at the proper
point ia now an immediate and urgent miltar
~ necessity for the defense Of the Southwest.
No time should be lost in carrying out this
suggestion. Measures should be at once ta.
ken to secure the co operation Of all the States
On the Mississippi, south of Cairo-a1l being
interested IN preventing the occupation and
blockade Of this common highway of their
commerce BY the common enemy. The peo-
pie ate ripe for this movement. In week an
army could be assembled on the banks Of the
Mississippi that would drive back any force
that might present itself
Memphis hoe vital interest in this matter.
and shon1d spare no effort to promote the pro.
posed movement, by which she would be ef.
fsctually projected 1r5m attack. The danger
thlckens d, on her. Authentic reports iufofm
Us that troops are daily pouring into Cairo
We know not at what moment tue enemy
may be upon US. The immense advantage to
our enemies, that would result from the earjy
seizure Of Memphis, VIC may rest assured has
stirred them to make the most s1upeudous
preparations to accomplish it, This is the
tary preparations in the West, How can we,
in the presence Of su8h manifest and jmmI..
neut danger, fail to put forth promptly our
utmost Efforts to avert It? We tell our tel.
low.citiz:ns, plainly and emphatically, that
unless preparations for resistance nre at once
made, on scale of sufficient magnitude, Mem
phla, within month, may be n the hands Of
1he enemy-given up to pillsga, and to hor-
ro1s which the Imagination slckeps to con-
template. With an army Of findefiuite maept-
tude to attack Us, within day and hall Of
us By water, and less BY land, it 10 fol ,, it 10
madness, 1t il death to shut cur eyes to the
danger;
Let every man who wsnts to fight, look to-
wards Columbus. Let cur brave warriors
seek the foe. Cairo Ia the point that demands
their attention.
The following paragraphs from the same
paper show the purpose Of all this furry. It
is not so much that Tennessee fears aufnva-
sion, but an army is needed to overcome the
Union men in Kentucky:
4 set of fossi}jzsd politicians and frattorous
allies Of Abe Lincoln are now doing their bett
. to force Kentucky into the support Of the in
famous Washington usuTpere, hut they will
be tbwarted In ineir diabo,ical purpose. An
armed neutrality is the hypdcritical mask
which they ISSUING to CONCEAL their rsal IN
tentions to degrade Kentucky into an ab5ect
vassa and ally Of our Northern enemy; but
the patriotism Of the people will foil them.
They will soon see an armed resistance in
