In the Senate, NJ. Lavabit, after consultation
with the Minister of War, was giving details
of the occupation Of the country by the Prus'
SLAMS. He said that certain villages and towns
had been invaded which had surrendered too
quickly. 1t was hardly their fault, however,
but that of the government.
The Cabinet, with strange lack OF Tore
thought, had constantly refused to arm the
people Of Alsatia, Lorraine and Champaign.
thus betraying lack Of confidence in the
people which had cost the country dear. Had
the peasants, who are good marksmen, been
armed, the army of the Prince Royal of Prus-
sia would not 80 easily have crossed the
vosges, where our men, concealed, could have
so harassed them,4 and France would not
have been compelled to abandon her second
line of defence.

The Press says a pretty fair estimate can

of cotton ialds, and are pleased to notice that,
generally, the cotton stalks have larger nurc-

Stale. We, however, regret to state that the
caterpillar has made its appearance, and much
appr shension is felt about it. at present no
mischief has been done BY these marauders,.
but the fact that they have precep;ibly increas-
ed in numbers during the past week. gives
ground for alarm. So far as we have heard,
they have not made their appearance IN more
