"A little boy was bitten by rattlesnake, in
Anderson District, few days ago, when the
father killed the reptile, dissected it, and ap-
piled portion Of the entrails as poultice
The bitten boy recovered. This is en- old-fash-
ioned remedy.
The valuable wheat and corn mills Of Mr..
A. L. Cougar, situated about two miles from
Bishopyille, md but recently constructed, with
q considerable outlay, were destroyed by fire
on Thursday night last The mills were ON
entire loss. The miller, Mr.. Barnes, died about
slx o'clock ia the afternoon, and the mills were
burned during the night. The fire was, with
out doubt, che. work Of an incendiary.
The Sumter News says: "We have been
informed bya gentleman, whose plantation is
situated on Becky Bluff, th.s the army worm
has appeared in that section within few days
They sweep over field almost with the rapid
ity and with the blighting effect OF fire.. The
damage go far as heard from is at present con-
fined to few plantations in that section, but
it is feal ed they will spread and take wider
range in their march"
The caterpillar is not confning his ravages
to the sea coast. The Newberry Herald says: !:
"The caterpillar is ravaging the cotton ID and
about Pomaria. Col. g. q. Chapman, an old
tive insect il all over his plantation, and he
fears that his crop will be destroyed. he
state this is the first time in his fifty years e1-
perience that he has seen one. We hope his
fears will not be realized. He is certain that it
is not the army worm, but the genuine cater
pillar.
The Sumter News reports: "A considers
Bile number OF bales Of cotton were brought to
Sumter and sold during the past week Under
repeated advices Of decline in Liverpool, it
sold Yesterday at about 21f cents. The busi-
ness of cotton picking and packing is progress
ing with unusual energy, and the disposition
seems to be to get it to market at the earliest
moment The crop will be short one. From
every part Of the cotton growing regions we
have Iinfavorable accounts-army worm, rust,
heavy rains, &C.. operating most injuriously."
The Marion Star says: -Four weeks ago,
no people in the State were more elated with
the prospects Of IN abundant yield OF cotton
than the planters In the Peedee section, put
these hopes have been seriously blasted, by
the caterpillar and rust, which have already,
and are still damaging the crop to an alarming
extent in some localities. One OF our largest
and most successful planters informs us, that
he has been planting cotton for twenty-nine
years, and that he has never had as complete
failure as his present crop is and that he is
satisfied that most OF the crops which he has
seen will be gathered in by the 1st VI Novem-
ber. Still there are some neighborhoods
which these enemies Of cotton have not visit
ed. where, we are informed. the crop will not
be injured, unless attacked before the 26th
inst. Rice BIRDS nave made their appearance, and
are doing good service on many plantations In
checking the progress OF the caterpillar.

A. Hi. Stephens Testimony.

All sorts of testimony is being raked up tc
contradict the position assumed by the Presi.
dent. Some of it comes from unexpected
sources, like the following from A. H. Ste.
phens, late Vice President of the Southern
Confederacy. 1t is found in speech made
by him on the Sth of November, 1860:
The President of the United States is nc
emperor-no dictator; he is clothed with nc
absolute power. He can do nothing unless he
is backed by power in Congress.
Mr.. Lincoln cannot appoint an officer with
out the consent of the Senate; he cannot
form a cabinet without the same consent. He
will be in the condition of George I'LL, who
had to ask the Wings to appoint his ministers
and was compelled to receive a cabinet utterly
opposed to his views. And so Mr.. Lipcolf
will have to ask of the Senate to choose fol
him cabinet, if the Democracy of that bod,
choose to put him on such terms. He viii
have to do this or let the government stop
should the Democracy so determine,
