TaE ENEMIES OF CorfoN. 1.-The Macon,
Ca, correspondent Of the New York Times
takss rather discouraging view Of the pros
poets of the cotton crop in that Sta'e. ne
gives the following account OF the ra9ases Oh
the caterpillar and boil worm;
I do not believe from what have seen and
from all tpat can learn from the best sources
of Inflammation, that the crop of 1868 will be
norch more than half that of 1867 In some
WAGES the entire yield has been destroyed, so
that nothing can be saved. on hundreds of
acres, where six weeks or two months ago half
a bale to the acre might have been reasonably
expected. In other places the damage has not
been total, but it has been very considerable,
and nowhere have l seen any cotton which
has been exempt from the catepillars voracity.
They are as thick as flies in butchers stall in
July. Every leaf on every stalk is covered
with them. Walking through corner OF
cotton field found my clothes covered with
these deadly enemies OF the cotton pianter.I
Ordinarily they only devour the leaves ana
thus wound the the plant, but this year they
have attacked all the young Dolls, eatins en1

some means of defence against these insects,
it would be vastly more useful than it has
been heretofore. To some extent the boil
worm has completed the obstruction of what
the caterpillars had partially spared. This in-
sect confines itself to the immature bol!s, bores
them and devours their contents; but it is not
as rapid in its movements or as gluttonous in

dreds of nostrums and devices have been pro-
posed and tried as representatives. against both
these insects, but they have proved dead fail,
ures. Were the injury of the crop distributed
over the whole State, the advance in price
might in pai compensate for the loss;but there
are many planters who will not save one bale of
cotton, and on whom the disaster will bring
ruin. The failure of the crop of 1866, the un-
renumeratiye price received for the small crop
of 1867, and the destruction by insects of the
crops Of 1868, will be absolute ruin to many.

TELEGRAPHIc BLUNDERs-A gentleman re-
siding ten miles from the city, left his home
few days since to come into town. On his
way, in the cars, he remembered that after
building fire in the furnace he had forgotten
to arrange the dan,per Sc. AS the cars stop
ped at a Geographic station, about six miles
from his home, he telegraphed his wife about 8
o'clock in the morning as follows:
"Have the furnace attended to at once.
About 8 o'clock in the afternoon his wife was
somewhat astonished and good deal puzzled
at receiving the following dispatch, which had
been more than six hours travelling six miles.
"Have forwarded five-attended to four!"

A DELINQUENT REPEALER.-Mr. Howe OF
Nova Scotia is widely known as the leader of
the repealers of Nova Scotia. 1t appears from
the following extract from the Canadian cor
respondence of the New York Times that
there is some doubt about his fealty to the
cause which he at one time espoused with so
much ardor:
The extraordinary conduct of Mr.. Howe is
not only exciting much remark, but has led
most people to believe that he has abandoned
the position of chief of the Repeal Party in
Nova Scotia. The Ministry are DESTROYS of
having this believed and do not scruple to
represent that he is preparing to go over to
the Unionists. II is said that he will, by and
by, take place in the Cabinet, and his recent
speeches, taken in connection with his reti-
cence on the subject of repeal, goes tar to
strengthen the opinion that he is trimming
his sails, and intends, ere long, to strike out a
new course 1t is not probable that he will be
appointed a Railway Commissioner; for it is
perfectly understood that Messrs. Walsh,
Chandler and Bridges will be the Commits
soners, with Mr.. Meredith as locum teraens for
Nova Scotia. Can it be possible that the latter
is simply used to keep the place for Mr.. Howe:
The appointment of Mr.. Bridges is strongly
condemned, and with good reason, us his con-
nection with the Grand Trunk is poor recon
mendatiOn RumOr has it that he is to leave
that concern and be succeeded by Mr.. Shan
ley, a member of the House of Commons, and
formerly manager of the Grand Trunk. This
may only be ruse to help the Government
over an unpopular appointment A Govern
orship ght suit Mr.. Howe best, and they will
take care that he has one, provided he
works round in favor of the Union. OF course
has been so strange that people are ready to
believe almost anything of him. ...

G. A. r. SUPERINTENDENT would call
attention to the advertisement of the G. A. r.
entertainments. All those who wish tn pro-
cure reserved seats will have to be on hand
promptly at o'clock this morning, as only the

entertainments are all of first class talent. The
profits arising from the same go towards assist

it Is duty we all owe to our nations defend

noble organization will soon be in need of funds
to carry out their worthy objects. ...

DEMOCRATIC PAPER has made-the extra
ordinary discovery that the Maine election
was carried for the Republicans by importing
negroes from Boston. This is mistake #
was really done in this way: The King Of tho
CannibalIsla was applied to by Governor
Chamberlain for detachment Of his snbisc,s 9
for use in the election. His Majesty, beiuo as
black as the ace Of spades and "trooly loil,''
promptly responded and sent his dasky co
horts by rail and telegraph, twenty-five thou
sand strong They were all permitted to vote

political machinery of the State-and thus

A QUIET REVOLUTION. is remarkable
that so important revolution as that which
has just taken place in Spain should have
been no more sanguinary. The only engage
ment of any Importance was that at Santan-
der when that place was recaptured by the
royal troops. Of that affair the London Times
correspondent gives the following account:
The affair at Santander seems to have been
very sanguinary. 1 am told that the barr-
cades were carried at the point Of the bayonet;
yet so strong was the resistance, and the in
surgents SO well conducted and resoute; that
they effected their retreat il the best order,
keeping up a running fire with the Royalsts,
to whose onset they were exposed throughout
the distance of whole mile intervening be-
tween the scene of combat and the place OF
embarkation. The losses of the insurgents are
not known, but they are described as trifling-
a circumstance easily referabe to the vantage
ground they occupied behind their barbados.
The verbal report is three brigadiers, one col
onel, two captains of the staff, one colonel of
artillery, one of engineers, and 81 other officers
killed; 300 cdd soldiers killed: upwards of 1000
won nded

spoke disparagingly of your late friend, Howell
Cobb. We didn't like Howell at all. He was
not our idea of patriot or Christian. You

you cannot reasonably expect us to love all
your friends; besides it is ill-mannered in you
to speak of us as byena, demon, ghoul
and "a paper ghoul" all in the same paragraph.
paper ghoul' has an audacity about it-a dis
regard OF conventionalities both in thought
and expression-that makes it rather attrac-

A SINGULAR CASE OF IDENTITY.-Mr. John
Foley and his wife, who reside at No. 81 York
street, yesterday visited the receiving tomb at
the Eastern Cemetery to view the body of the
man who was killed on Commercial street last
week, and positively identity the deceased as
John Rhyme, a native of New Brunswick; and
relative of theirs by marriage. Mr.. and Mrs.
Foley say that the deceased called at their
house at about eight o'clock on the evening in
question, and stated that he had just returned
from Minnesota where he lhad been at work
for Mrs. Foley's brother. He stayed but a
short time, and went away to get his valise and
gold watch which he had left, he said, at
boarding house on Fore street. He was per-
fectly sober at the time. This was the last
they knew of him until they saw his remains
in the coffin. As he did not return they had
some anxiety about him; and when Mrs. f.
read the accounts of the accident in the papers,
she became impressed with the belief that the
unfortunate man was her missing relative The
body had been kept, to allow Mrs. Clancy s
friends to obtain it, which she said they would
do. New Brunswick and Bangor papers please
