Araasia and the Glaciers.

Professor Agsssiz said some interest.
ing things concerning his pet glacial
theory at the Amherst agricultural meet
inn last week. He declared that all the
materials on which agricultural processes
depend are decomposed rocks, not so
much rocks that underlie the soil, but
those on the surface and brought from
considerable distances and ground 10
powder By the rasp Of the glacier. Ice,
all over the continent, is the agent that
has ground out more soil than all other
agencies together. The penetration of
water into rocks, frost, running water,
and baking suns, have done something,
but the glacier more. In former age
the whole United States was covered
with ice several thousand feet thick, and
this ice, moving from north to south by
the attraction Of tropical warmth, or
pressing weight of ice and snow behind,
ground the rocks over which it passed
into the paste we cell the soil. These
masses of ice can be tracked as surely as
game is tracked by the hunter. BE had
made q study of them in this country as
as far south as Alabama, but had OBJ
served the same phenomenon particularly
in Italy, where, among the Alps, glaciers
are now in progress. The stones and
rocks ground and polished by the gla-
ciers can easily be distinguished from
those scratched by running water The
angular boulders found in meadows, and
the terraces on our rivers not now
reached by water, can be accounted for
only in this way. He urged rev sur
vey of the surface geology Of the State
as help to understanding its constituent
elements, and paid high tribute to the
memory of the late President Hitchcock.

prcpaeation Of the Cotton worm.

We have recently met with frequent al
lusions in our exchanges TO the finding
of the eggs of the cotton worm or the
caterpillar deposited in the pith OF the
stem or branches Of cotton stalks, from
which, it is argued, that ravenous pest 10
propagated from season to season in that
way. And, consequently, the burning OF
the dead stalks has been urged as a
means of destroying the embryo worm.
We believe we at one time advised the
same course, but look into that most
excellent periodical, the american En-
tomoliqist, revealed the absurdity OF the
thing; and now we would as soon expect
10 find veritable mares eggs in the
mythical mares nest, as to find the egg
of the cotton worm in the )tton stalk, or
anywhere else.
A moments reflection should have sat
isfied us, and should satisfy any one else,
that, as Natures laws of reproduction
are Interchangeable, and alike applicable
TO the insect and the elephant there is
no such thing as a caterpflldrs egg.
The cotton worm is propagated pre-
cisely as the silk worm and myriad of
others are. The egg is deposited by
moth. on q plant affordiug suitable nour-
ishment to the norm Matched from the
egg. When the worm has lived it's
allotted time, it envelopes itself in web,
or cocoon, is there transformed into q
moth. energies from the cocoon, de-
posts its eggs just as the preceding
moth did; and so the cotton worm is
propagated. The egg produces the
porm-not the moth; yet the latter is
always seen before the worms are found.
This fact alone is conclusive proof that
the eggs found in cotton stalks are not
those producing the cotton worm. II
they were, the porm would appear before
the moth. Again, the FIRST visit of the
worm would be in myrisds, whereas they
are few in number, on their first appear
ance.
There is difference of opinion as to
how the cat,rpiller is perpetusted from
year TO year. By some it is contendsd
that such Of she last moths Of the sea-
son as escape untime destruction live
through the winters By others it is be-
lieved that in the latest cocoons formed !
in the fall, the process OF traosfoI nation
is suspended until the following summer,
when such as have not been destroyed |
produce the moth-and the work of prop
sgation goes on.-LiriBgstoB Journal.

Some idea Of the immense resources
Of the. South shd its recupsrstive quail
tiles may be derived from a statistical
statement lately Published by Alexan-
der Delmar. n is there shown that on
June 30, 1866, the population Of the
South amounted TO 1856, zoe. and Of
all the States together TO 3l,505, $50;
that the exports Of the South Tor that
year amounted TO $272. 900, 600, whereas
IN l82e the entire population Of the
United States scarcely exceeded that
Of the South forty years after, and the
entire exports only amounted 10
s5l, 600, 900. In 1850, with . population
Of q. 0O0, 900. the exports Of the
United States only reached el36, 600. 600.
The South nov, with not one-half the
population, exports annually double that
sum. Nowhere elss upon the earth DO
such elements Of latent prosperity exist !;

Senator spragus on Southern Manufac-
lures.
Eron, fha Charlaston News.1

From tlo OHdIlohbOu AtOWosI
If our people will not believe us, let
them listen to the words of Senator
sprague, of Rhode Island. At dinner
party, given him the other day at the
Charleston Hotel by few of our leading
citizens, he said that " it would surprise
the people of the South, and still more
surprise the people of the North, to know,
what is fact, that the best cotton fac
tory of its size and kind to be found in
America, is to be found in the city of Au-
gusta, Georgia; and that in looking at
the subject in q manufacturer point Of
view, taking the production per hand and
per spindle. and comparing them with
the work in o.her mills running on the
same class Of goods, be found that these
Southern goods ware equal to any Of
their kind seen in the Northern markets.
Senator Sprsgue went on to say that you
meaning the Southern people-can do
what we-neaning the people of New
England-can not do. With your great
advantages you can compete with Eng.
land for her Indian yarn trade. You
ought to spin large part of your crop,
and ship il in that state, instead OF ship
ping the raw material.

ing Howard University" Sergeant j. W.
Poole, of the county squad, Metropolitan Po-

treated him roughly, and one of whom stabbed
and cut him with large knife, causing seve-
