The Army Worm

The most fearful enemy of the cotton
crop is the army worm, which has begun its
ravages in Louisiana and Mississippi.
The Natchez Democrat says:
"There was bottle full of these cotton
destroyers shown on the streets yesterday,
and we learn it has visited several planta-
tions in Concordia IN such numbers as to
destroy all prospect of cotton crop in that
parish. 1t is also rumOred the worms are in
the lower part Of this county. They come
one mouth earlier than they did last year,
and the cotton is about a month later.
The New Orleans Crescent says that
since writing and copying the above mer-
camille house in this city has favored US with
the perusal or letter from a planter of
East Feliciana parish, divided from Adams
county, Miss, by the county of Wilkinson,
which says there is a great deal Of talk of
the army worm being all over the parish
and speaking of the rains, says: If they
continue as they have for the past two weeks,
it will not be long before the worms will be
taking everything He, therefore, directs
his merchants not to sell his crop until the
opening of the next business year"

UNION LOYAL LEAGUE-Some week or so
ago we printed letter written by Capt
William Driver, of Nashville, which pur-
ported to give the grips, signs, passwords
and intentions of the order From the fol
lowing extracts, which we take from a
special order" promulgated by J. NJ Ed
munds, president of the National council I'm
ion Loyal League, and dated Washington, D.
c., July Is, 1867, it will be seen that Driver
knew of what he spoke
1t being alleged that traitor in Tennes,
see has divulged the national password of
the order, with some other portions of the
work, a change will be promptly made in
the same. Until such change is communi-
Gated through the authorized agents of the
order, each State and each subordinate
council will by order of his president, adopt
a special local password, to be given only to
members who are known or vouched for as
truly loyal men.
The pass words will be changed. The
work of the Order viii go on without inter
ruption.

RIoT AT PURDY.-Last Saturday, one
week ago to-day, a serious difficulty occurred
at Purdy, McNairy county From reliable
sources we gather the following in regard to
the ARRAY. Thirty negro militia, under
command of one Hamilton, is stationed
there On the day of the difficulty, eight
or ten of the militia were in town; they Of
fored violence to a freedman from the coun-
try; Senator John Aldridge, radical, seeing
that the militia were imposing upon the
freedman, endeavored to persuade them that
what they were doing was wrong failing
to accomplish his purpose, he called upon
Samuel Lewis, sheriff Of the county, and
who was, during the war, captain in Col
Hursts 9th Tennessee regiment Lewis
came promptly to the call, and while en-
deavoring in a peaceable, yet determined
manner, to discharge his duty, he was fired
on and MORALLY wounded. This somewhat
euraped one of his former comrades-in-
arms, who drew his pistol and shot the
militiaman in the face; the shot was re-
turned by the squad, and two white men
were severely, if not dangerously wounded
Great excitement prevailed, during which
the militia returned to their quarters, but
on Sunday they again came into town and
renewed the disturbance, by shooting into
houses and firing at almost every living
thing they saw Many persons left the
place and are still absent from their homes,
as will be seen from the following extract,
which we take from the Memphis Avalanche
of the 1st:
"The negro militia swept the town, and
,rero perfeetly furious 1 hey shot into
-Louses filed with women and children,
poured merciless vOlley at unarmed citi-
zens and inaugnrated reign of terror never
known before In that little village. Promi-

nv shooting into private dwellings. The
citizens, old and young, have abandoned
their houses, and the solitude OF once happy
homes is only broken by the brutal tread of
Brownlow's negro rufhans.
While at the junction last Tuesday we
heard dozen gentlemen, some of them
radicals, eulogize the manly deeds of Mr.
Lewis; all agreed that he was gallant sol
