ALAaAHA CoTToN CRuP-The Selma Messenger OF
the 18th, says:
The certainty of a very short crop Of cotton be-
comes more apparent every day. The picking season
at the middle Of October is not usgally more than
half advanced, and yet at this time many planters
have gathered the bulk of the crop and but little
more remains in the fields Those crops which are
the best arc more than half gathered while some
planters have picked thrcc-tourths or lourfftLs Of
their cutre product VIZ have seen some fields that
have already been picked over the last time The
Of this carly failure is in the fact that the last
third Of the crops which should have been made was
destroyed by the worms. III the bolls that would
now be maturing were consumed. A gentleman who
has just passed through the heart Of tile Canebrake
informs US that he very little cotton in The fields
The most of the crop is already in the ginhouscs, or
on the way to market.
The monitor, Aiantonomoh, seems to have aroused
the military ingenuity Of cousins the other side
OF the great herring pond. They have invented new
projectile, which they think will sink any monitor
afoat. Another proposed plan is to have large ship,
with raking stem, which viii run down and sink such
lev vessels the Jnitors. One account Of the pro-
posed aG1ition to the navy of Great Britain says:
For this purpose Of running over or swapping, a
vessel Of large tonnage high outtof the water is
CURED. She must have an oyerhanging Low-bluff
above the water, not unlike ordinary Thames coal
barge She need net be armor plated, but would re-
laire to be Of iron, and built outwardly like an ordi
nary ship but iuwardly divided into innumerabe small
compartments, a series of air tanks-in
act rendering the whole ship except the larger spaces
'cquirrd for engines, accommodation, etc. per-
Get houeycomb. Ii is well known such i slip would
1e Of immense strength and exceedingly buoyant-
The Great Eastern has double skim the space between
hem being divided into various water-tight compart-
nents Such a vessel as | now suggest would have
cries Of interior skins with the spaces between each
Undivided into small cells, all airtight It would be
Indispensable that she be of great specd-say I6 to
s knots at least. Of course she would be a target
or the heavy guns of the montorsshe attacked Shot
oTever, would pass through her With comparatively
tile damage, and shells bursting in among her air
Chit chambers would meet with SO little resistance as
eSpend their force on mere air. In advancing to
Io attack SHE would be struck many times and per
lps rddled through and through but it would take
any hours managing before She would DC seriously

THE Co1ToN WoRN.-Col. S. NJ. Baird, of Colorado
county, Texas, writes to the Houston Telegraph on this
subject. In his article he says:
a Mr.. Glover was sent in Sj4 by the commissioner
of patents down south for the purpose of examining
the habit OF insects injurious to cotton. In his report
he has unfortunately described almost every insect
except the real cotton worm and this seems almost il
not entirely, to have escaped his attention,
He thus describes the phenomena of the worm the
present year:
The worm first made It's appearance in very small
and unnoceable quantities, merely eating few holes
III few leaves and confined to a small SPOT in the
field II then wcbbed mp and formed chrysalis-
matched fy which formed Il new crop of eggs and
Matched out IA new and increased crop of worms. lint
still confined to crcumscribed spot These worms
again webbed up forming chrysaliS hatch out the fly
which deposited the crop Of destroying eggs-(a very
small and almost invisible yellow egg on the undersde
OF the leaves, and to be found on every leaf And
after this there is no remedy, for wher they hatch,
they come like the sweeping food of some pcpt nm
stream that has burst its barriers
Col. b. says in conclusion:
IL may not be the time and place for the suggestion
OF remedies for the cotton worm but as lights upon
the question of feasibility submit the following hints
collected from planters:
lst. Procure seed f;om the extreme northern limit
OF the cotton growing region, plant early and cultivate
well; causing the crop to mature before the worm
comes.
ID. 1t is said the worm always gives timely notice
OF its advent by peculiar odor well known to plan
tiers. Then keep fires lighted up at various parts OF
tie plantations by which the fly is attracted and de-
stroyed.
3D. Place in like manner pates boiled with molas.
ses and vinegar by which they attracted, entrap
ped and destroyed.
4th Destroy you would tobacco worms the in
slpent crops of flies, eggs chrysldes and worms by
search and by hand
9TH. Chemical, vegetable and other applications to
The plant to either kill or drive the worn.
9th. Alienation in crops-cottQp is now planted on
lie same ground year after year.
7th. Planting cotton and corn or mlet, etc, ETC.,
II alternate strips or lands.
Sth. The planting of cotton every other year only
throughout the State.
9th, The breaking up of cotton lands before the
rosts of winter.
lQth. The rasing Of large focks of chickens and
turkeys, geese, ducks and hogs, all Of which deyour
he worm with great voracity. ~

advertising columns, it will be seen that Gen. n B
Forrest has opened business house in this city as
commission merchant Tpto the close Of the war,
we, in common with almost ali Union men, regarded
Gen Forrest with degree of dsiavor greater than
felt for almost any other Confederate officer His
manly and honorable address to his troops, at the
time Of the surrender, caused US to look upon him
with less prejudice and the straightforward, consist
course he has since pursued has induced MS When
ever we had occasion to aude to him, to do so with
an expression of high respect. We can sincerely say
that gentleman who has shown himself SO frank and
honorable politician and able Il soldier will
be safe, honest, and reliable merchant The general
has such hosts Of friends that he cannot fail Of success
in his new undertaking.
