The QUESTION Admiral Semmes. in
a long editorial in the Memphis Bulletin
of q recent date, after saying be was ia
favor of submitting to the frat recons-
truction acts because he believed that
Congress was acting 10 good faith and
really meant to give the Southern people
a chance 10 the formation of their new
State governments, but that the July
session of Congress convinces him they
had nc such Intention, concludes as fol
lows
The question. then, for our fellow citi-
zens OF the ten excluded States TO con
slider, is this: Congress will reconstruct
your States, whether any Conservative
white man takes a hand 10 it or not. You
have already seen from the manner 10
which the registrars have performed
their duties, that the negroes are in q
majority in all the ten States. Your
State governments will necessarily pass
under the control of those negroes, en-
gineered by o few radical whites. If all
the Conservative whites, aehona the regis
trars oiU admit to registry, were to vote IN
a solid body, they could not influence the
question Of calling q convention, or con-
troll it when called. Will you, under
these circumstances, have anything to do
With the matter? 1t being impossible
for yon, manacled as you are, by Con
gress aud its Registrars, to do any good,
viii you give a seeming assent to the
proposing Africsnizing of your States, and
the putting of the white man under the
foot Of the negro?
While Admiral Semmes had his hand
in why did he not tell Us what to do
point out some way by which we can be
extrieated from our position Such talk
il all bombast amounting to nothing
Speeeh.making Of this kind does no good
while it serves to keep our people sore
upon q point which 10 beyond our own

n- We have taken great pains this
week to ascertain the extent of the raw
ages OF the caterpillar in this parish, and
candor compels US to say that, so far,
with q few exceptions, the damage has
been slight. On many farms they have
not appeared at all, but their %forerunner,
The butterfly, is there in numbers. It
appears that the caterpillars are far more
whimsical in their operations this year
than for many preceding years. They
appeared much earlier than usual, aud
after destroying small patches of cotton
here and there, have gone into the web
bing business for a fresh start. How
long they will remain in that condition
it ia impossible TO say, bat If they will
hold of q month or 50 longer, we can
realise ut least two-thirds Of a crop. We
are having almost daily showers at the
present time, with a prospect of their
continuance. Between the showers the
the sun pours down a terrific heat upon
ns. In these rains lie the great danger.
Travellers from Pointe Conpee report en-
tire crops swept away in many places.
and the planters are discbarging their
hands IN consequence. This is reported
on good authority. We can scarcely
expect to fare better than others, but
hope for the best.
