CorToN AND THE WORM.

Prom the Now Orleans Picayune, july p.
Correspondents and a few interior papers
s,iI talk of the dread cotton caterpillar, but
70 far IA we can learn, they are unduly
alarmed, not to put a too hne point upon
it. The reports of whole fields rsvagedN
never receive confirmation. In many in-
stances, indeed, such reports have been
fatty oontradicted. We doubt very much
whether the genuine cotton caterpillar has
been seen in any quantity this year either
10 ihis State or Texas. We have given the
subject unremltting attention, and in every
instance we can recall where the real de-
stroying worm was reported 10 be found
and at work in Louisiana or Texas, such
reports have either not been confirmed or
have proved 20 be entirely unreliable The
caterpillar turns out to be the grass worm,
and of course the reputed destruction was
merely the anticipated disaster of an inn
aginative alarmist.
A correspondent OF the Galveston NorS
SAYS the cotton worm is making its appear
ance in the counties Of Polk, Walker and
sumter, and be fears "the crop viii be en-
tirely ruined" We have had like reports
from Fort Bend, Washington and other
counties. always followed by a correction
worm was found, but not the caterpillar.
As for instance Washington county, cor
respondent writes 10 the Nous that the worm
now seen in many OF the cotton helds Is
the army or grass worm. lie bases has
opinions upon the evidence OF old and ex-
perienCed cotton planters who have studied
the two species Of worms for many years.

A FUNNY love story was related the
other day TO one of the Police Justices of
Chicago. Miss Polly Chester complained
that her neighbor over the way, Mr.. c.
M. Goodale, had annoyed her beyond all
endurance. They had once, she said, been
intimate, but she had mittened him. He
had taken the means of teaching half a
dozen parrots 10 screech out in chorus,
"Homely Polly, hOmely Polly, Polly lives
across the street" Every body who passed
the house looked up at her windows, and
she was not disposed to endure it any
longer. The sympathizing justice fined
the brute twenty dollars, ami confscated
the parrots.

GOVERNMENT FINANCES.

The statements recently made by Mr..
Wells, Special Commissioner Of the Reye-
nue., contain some valuable information,
bat are mixed up with some differences
intended only for political effect. The fol-
lowing positive returns, although mostly in
round numbers, are supposed to be official
and authentic:
Nashville union and dispatch. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1866-1868, 1868-08-05

From this apparent surplus Is to be de-
Quoted all those expenses outrunning espe-
cial appropriations, and usually provided
for in deficiency bills, many Of which have
been passed at the recent session of Con-
gress. Included in the miscellaneous re-
ceipts, and forming the largest item, is the
premium on sales Of gold made during the
year by private instructions Of the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury. i.
The part Of the Statement by Mr.. Wells
which seems to us most disingenuous is
that which refers to the amount of taxes
abated or repealed since the close of the
war. He makes the total reduction amount
to $lG7, 100000, and then adds that "eoin-
cident with the above reduction Of taxa
ton the public debt has been decreased in
round Numbers two hundred and fifty mill
lion dollars" 1t is true that the receipts
and expenses of the treasury thus stated
make a very favorable showing, but the
great bulk of "lhe abated or repealed
taxes are still to apply to the revenue.
Mr. Wells estimates them thus:

THE SONS or TEMPERANCE.

we print this morning an account of the pro-
ceedings of the National Division OF the North
American Sons of Temperance, recently held
mt Nashville, Tenn. Ii will be an agreeable
surprise to the many Temperance men who are
not connected with any society, and who are
somewhat averse to such, to learn that this or
der was established 81 years ago; that since
then its receipts have been over six millions OF
dollars, Of which 100000 were contributed last
year; that it has extended to the Old World,
and that the total number of its members is
100000.
It's worthy Of note that this body should
meet in Southern State, for this is the first
instance where any of the great moIal and re-
fornatory societies have met from every quar-
ter Of the country upon that soil to advocate
4 higher purer, and a better life. The greet
ing of the Southern to the Northern delegates,
including those from the various districts OF
the Canadas, was enthusiastic and heartfelt
and it is TO be hoped that new era In this
reform will commence ut Nashville ana spread
through all the South, the same as Christian
ity radiated from Jerusalem. From all accounts
we learn that the Temperance cause never
was more prosperous than at present. There
are new and better publications, the estab-
lishcd organs are redoubling their efforts,
powerful speakers are entering the field, and
the field itself is also enlarglng. Great sue
cess is promised from the use of new argu-
mcnts based upon philosophic more than upon
religious principles. The aim is to infuse into
the public mind the great truth that neither
prosperity, mental culture, nor physical power
can he secured by one who uses spirituous
liuuOrs.

CROP PROSPECTS.

Last week, along the seabOard, the sun shOne
during one day and part of another; the rest of
the time the weather was misty, but there
were no heavy showers. A good deal of sod
was turned for corn, for fear that the ground
would continue too wet. The first week in
June opens bright and breezy, plOws are run
ming on ridges, and as the soil dries are work
ing down toward wetter ground. An uncOm-
mon amount of special fertilizers will be used
TO give corn and other crops good start
Owing 20 the adulteratiOn of many varieties
the choice is much in favor of bone. Oats and
wheat are promising, and grass must be above
the average. Apple trees are passing out of
full bloom. Strawberries are backward, but
promise a fine yield,
In the great corn region of the West there
has been more sunshine, and large breadth
of corn on the drest ground has been planted.
AS good weather continued through last week,
the great bulk of the crop must now be in the
ground. Of course. there will be fewer acres
than there would have been had the season
been more favorable; but as more work can be
given TO fewer acres, the yield in the aggre-
gate may be expected to he as large as from
greater area. After all the gloomy prospects,
ward by the 18th of June as if it had been
planted earlier. But where corn is planted ex-
tensively, early planting and working are of
great Importance, for the reason that it may
be "laid by" before wheat and grass are to be
cut. With the most favorable weather vast
and an unusual amount of work will be
crowded into the month of June. 1t can be
done 10y means of improved farm implements,
but without them it would be utterly imposs-
BILE. 1t will be seen that they really add to
the solid wealth of the country, and, in eff
feet, add a month to the growing season. The
fruit prospects of the West are not encouraging.
Strawberries are expected to be in small supply,
and dear.
From the Southern States we have favorable
accounts. Wheat looks well, fruit is likely to
be abundant, cotton has good start, the me-
groes are doing better than Last year, and the
people generally confess that Reconstruction is
TO be accomplished more through work than
politics. On the whole, the promise of abund-
ant harvests never was brighter 1t is true
that adverse conditions may arise, but sufficient
for the day is the evil thereof. Duty and hope
belong TO the present. AT the lowest estimate,
the present golden sunshine is worth a million
dollars an hour. t.r

This only means that, in an investigation

of its members and efforts to deprive them Of

any result The Times should know that there
is nothing more difficult to trace home than
charge of bribery. The cases in which it has
been successfully done have been few and fH

Committee, and they should be given more
than ordinary powers. Although report from
Va. Butler, showing that money had been paid
