These all came before the war.
During the Cherokee war, it was
found necessary to construct fort:,
along the border, to protect the early
inhabitants from inroads by the IN

from the mountains down TO McCor,ls'

Cl"b, Prof. Mapcs made tho following
remarks i'll regard 10 boiling food for
hogs
".rho proof of the saving of food by
boiling has been given here VIC NAV
rs we'll have it. Mr.. Mason was a
Matchmaker in Camden, n. j, among
other fancios be liked to keen hoes.
lic had his hog pen built just back cf,
his shop, so that he could sit at his
window and watch his hogs. Every
spring he bought some pigs and fod
them through the season. Just oppo-,
site to Mr.. Mason was the store of 6Ir.
yam Arsdalo, and every pound Of
food Mr.. Mason gave to his pigs hc
bought at his store. At tho end Of
six months he got his bill from Mr..
Van Arsdalo, and he always slaught-
cred his hogs at the samo time 50
that he knew exactly how much his
pork cost. For several years it fig
urcd up otthirtccn cents Dor pound.
At length so,nc ono advised him to
boil his corn. flc accordingly cot
large Kettle and cooked all tho &Mxl
which he fed to his pigs. Thon KS
pork cost him colr-and- half ccnts
per pound. We also had the cxpc-
rlonoc of Mr.. Campbell, which was tho
same as Mr.. Mason's. Henry Ellis

Who are DISTINGUISHED.

We publish to-day Gen. Scho6elds lnstruc-
tions to the Boards of Registration in this State.
In about half column he settles clearly what
the Attorney General left unsettled In i've
columns. The DISTINGUISHING clauses OF the Re
construction Acts are more rigidly construed by
Gen. Schofeld than by Mr.. Stanberry; but IN
the main we think he has fairly construed the
law. We see in some papers mistaken view
of the effect of Gen. Schofelds instructions
glaring capitals announcing that every ooutn-
ern soldier is disfranchised,' &c. This Is not
50. There is no very wide difference between
tho conclusions reached by Gen. Schoheld
and those reached by Mr. Stanberry. The only
soldiers disfranchised are those who voluntarily
engaged in the rebellion, and who had atso
nreviously held Office. Nobody is DISTINGUISHED
for engaging in the rebellion-untess he had
previously held office under the United states,
or been member of Congress, or held an eA,
ecutive OR judicial Office in State, or peen IN
the State Legislature.
The questions then arise what is anexecutVe
or judicial Office in State? and, secondly,
one has held such an office, what constitutes
engaging in rebellion p Section OF Gen
Schofeld's order answers the hrst question
Section 5, g. 7, and s, answer the second.
As was generally conceded here, magistrate
come under the designation of judicial ofhcers'
and, where they engaged in the rebellion, arr
DISTINGUISHED. On the other hand clerks O.
courts, sherifs, constables, attorneys Tor thu
commonwealth, commissioners OF the revenue
commissioners in chancery, notares public arr
not DISTINGUISHED, even if they did engage II
the rebellion.
The important statement is made in 6, tina
ssaIl who voted for the ordinance OF secession
engaged in rebellion or gave aid and comfort tt
the enemy
The registration is to commence at once
We hope no one will be guilty of the folly o
failing to register from sullenness or disgust
Provided he can take the oath required, and
willing to do so, he should register, if it is tn
last political act he ever performs. The who'll
future of the South hangs on this election

The President in Richmond.

President johnson arrived in Richmond by
the halfpast nine clock train on last Friday
night, on his return from tour South. He
was received at the Spottswood by the Mayor,
one member ofthe city Council, Stephen Mason,
ESQ.,, and quite a large number of citizens, where
he and his suite were most Hospitality entertain
ed. The supper over the President was intro
duced to large number of ladies and gentlemen,
in the elegant parlors of the Spottswood, and
the band of the Eleventh United States infantry
discoursed sweet music on the occasion.
The President, Mr. Seward, Col. Beirne, and
others of the suite, then spent some time in
conversation with the ladies present, after which
the distinguished gentlemen were called upon
for speeches The President, in response, said
that if his previous speeches had not developed
his policy and position, he could not promise
his hearers that any further developmentscould
be made by anything he could say tonight
He cordially thanked the crowd in attendance
for their very cordial reception.
Mr.. Secretary Seward was next called out
He said their trip had been delightful one,
and he was much obliged to the people of the
South for their kind reception. He was in favor
of firm union of the States, and thoroughly
opposed to rebellion as well as confscation.-
The Secretary's speech was well received.
After the speeches there was more music, and
more introductions. The President and his
suite are looking very well, and have evidently
been improved by their excursion. The Presi-
dent and suite probably leftfor Washington this
morning. Rich. Ttnaes---Sth.

The Army Worm,

For the first time within our knowledge, thu
army worm has appeared in this county, al
though it is said that a similar invasion oc
Cured fifty years ago Learning that the hos
was to be seen about a mile and half from
town, on the Churchville road, we went ou
last Friday afternoon to take a look at it. We
did not mingle much in the crowd, but con
tented ourself with hanging on the flank and
surveying the line of march passed over. We
saw enough, however, to crafty reasonable
curiosity. On one side of the road is an oak
forest, stripped of every leaf and presenting the
appearance of mid-Winter. On the other side
is wheat field, and beyond that, on hill,
another forest where the worms are at work
consuming the foliage. This forest is visible
from several points in town, and looks as if the
trees along the border, as far as the worms have
penetrated, had been killed by fire. The worms
DO not consume all kinds of green leaves, but
pass by the locust, sassafras, wild grape, black
berry, huckleberry, &C. They do not seem to
lnjure field crops of any kind At the point
where we examined them, they were consider
ably mixed up with seyen-year locusts, but as
well as we could judge both parties were ami
cably disposed. The general appearance of the
worm is similar to that of the common cater
pillar. There are differences, however. which
we are not naturalist enough to describe, and
the HABITS of the two are very different. The
caterpillars which infest our orchards live in
waterproof tents or webs, and never leave the
tree on which they are Matched until they are
fully grown and ready to pass into the chrysalis
state. Then they wander off in search of suit
able places for winding themselves up in their
cocoons, from which they emerge finally as but
ter-files, or rather moths. When seen wander
ing about at large they are done feeding. Pre-.
Vlous to this time they remain in their tents
only going out upon the tree in dry weather to
feed, about nine o'clock in the morning and
about three in the afternoon Their habit in
this respect Is remarkably regular. The army
worm has no tent, but spends its days and
nights out of doors. They hang together more
than the other species, forming in many places
clumps or knots around the twigs to which they
cling. Persons who have seen more of the ar
my in our vicinity than we have, say it is a
half a mile wide, and approaching the West
view road, moving in South west direction
Where they came from, and how they intend to
dispose of themselves, are mysterious to MS at
present We do not believe they have marched
very far, or will go many miles further. They
will probably soon hide themselves under chips
and stones, or in the earth, and re-appear in a
few weeks as night moths. Those moths Will
deposit their eggs in the forest, and from them
new horde of worms will hereafter came forth
on another grand crusade. We have heard it
suggested that few fires kindled at night in
the woods when the moths appear, would at
tract and destroy very many of them.

A Valuable Lesson.

In times Of revolution intermediate parties
standing between those of extreme opinions
must ultimately disappear, absorbed either by
the one or the other. History abounds with
multitudinous illustrations Of the truth The
latest of these, and that which we have more
to do than any other, is afforded by the sur
render of Nash, the leader of the conservative
colored party Of South Carolina, who laid down
his arms the other day and enlisted in the ranks
Of the Union Republican party
The lesson which this teaches is so plain that
he who runs may read and wayfaring man,
though a FOOL cannot fail to comprehend it.
1t tells us that the best informed, the most
moderate, and most enlightened of the colored
race are unable to prevent the array of parties
on the basis Of color. For US to fail in profit
ing by such lesson as this would be to neglect
to act on the instinct of self preservation. The
proper action now to be taken is easily an
nounced. 1t can be stated in three words or
ganize at once.-Noyolk Nrginian.
