MIR. EDITOR: In making short
excursion from Frog Level, by way
of Capt. Jos. Wise's Ferry. on the
Saluda River, to point in Edgefeld
County, known as Huett's Store, L
had an opportunity to witness the
workings of the cotton caterpillar,
in this middle section of the State.
The extent of their ravages is con-
siderable, and unexpected to this
section of country-merely noticea-
bile in few farms last year. I en-
deavored to trace out the probable
extent of the damage to the cotton,
thus attacked; but this remains, as
yet, somewhat doubtful. Where the
cotton stalks were deprived of thoir
necessary foliage at an early period,
the damage to the fruitage must be
material. We noticed that some of
the young bolls, sufficiently large to
mature, were eaten into, and must
perish without reaching maturity.
We observed, further, that the leaves
or shucks that surround the base of
the bolls, were eaten away, and some
persons are of the impression that
these bolls will shrink, but open and
be defective in lint. Of this, we will
know more ut later period of the
season.
Next, [ endeavored to trace their
process of transformation, and mode
OF perpetuation. We. assume here
that the fly or moth lays the eggs on
the plant, principally, when the ap-
propriate period of summer arrives;
,chen hdtched out, under the influence
of suitable temperature and weather,
it has the form of a small worm, and
proceeds to its work of devouring
cotton leaves, &C., until it gets the
growth that nature designed for it.
When this stage is reached, it webs
itself In cotton leaf, becomes inert,
but gradually shortens in length, and
changes its color to dark hue. 1t
eventually assumes the cocoon, or
black pod form, having on the out
side, marked the outlines of the head,
tail and wings. Out of this hull
comes the fly moth, which we pre-
sumo lays the egg, in due time, from
which is produced the caterpillar
form again. The moths are no,o eat
ing out of their envelopes. The ques-
tion desire to ask some entomolo-
gist of the low country, who has had
IN opportunity to investigate the
whole history of the caterpillar, is
MS follows: How does this insect per-
petuate itself from year to year, MS
ascertained by chain of facts? Does
this moth lay its eggs no,c, and run
the chances of producing the worm
state next summer? Or does the moth
run the chances of winter, and lay
its eggs next summer? Reliable in
formation as to this enemy of the
cotton plant may prove of importance
to the up country farmer.
This insect may be fixed institu-
tion in the low country and climate;
but, we hope, not SO in the middle
and up country.
We have an impression that it re-
qulres q continuation of high tenn
perature, for a season, to put this in
sect upon an annual course of per-
peSNation. Give us light, who can.

Gov. Orr, addressed the South Carolina
Convention on Saturday. He recommended
that suffrage be restricted by property or edu

move the disabilities from all white men now
sdisfranchised; that education be provided for
all, and that poll tax rather than tax upon
property be levied fer this purpose !; that the
disabilities be removed from the judicial of
GERS of the State, and that they be continued
in office; that proper homestead law be en-
acted, say so or 100 acres of land in the coun-
try and house and lot 10 town, these not to be
liable to attachment for old debts. That the
Convention pass an ordinance affording relief
to debtors in general, inasmuch as the military
stay law applied only to debts incurred during
the war he recommends the reputation of
all obligations incurred in the purchase Of
slaves, and the abolition Of imprisonment for
debt. Hesaid the treasury is.en1pty, but urged
the passage of an ordinance recognizing all
State debts incurred before. and since the war.

A new sensation in the theatrical line has
succeeded the Black Crook called the "Wbite
Faun." An immense audience witnessed the
first representation, at Nblo's Garden, in New
York, last Friday night. The costumes-if
they can be called so-are said to rival those in
the Black Crook only-a little more so. A
curious incident occurred at the performance.
One of the characters, in giving an account Of
his recent exploits in the war department Of
Prince Leander in the fight against the whole
ebony kingdom, declares his intention to fight
it out on this line, if it takes all summer"
At once arose from all parts of the house a
storm Of applause and Kisses, till some one call
ed out, ',Three cheers for Grant. y They were
given with will, but Kisses were intermingled.
Then there was loud call, 'Thrce cheers for
Johnson, aud almost the whole house res
pond.d to the call. If there were any Kisses
then, they were drowned in the food of cheers
that sweled from boxes to gallery, and poured
down into the parquette. This demonstration
over, the whole house seemed to think it had
performed duty, and forthwith subsidized to a
quiet enjoyment of the stage scenes.
