Almost every day we hear of disasters OF
the cotton worm, which has now set in with
an apparent determination to destroy all the
cotton that the drought, which is now ex-
tremely damaging, has left. We think
however, that the worm will not do one
half the damage that will be felt from the
protracted dry spell which we are now hav-
ing. We learn that Mr.. Frankling Cross,
living Southeast of this place. has thirty
acres being entirely destroyed by worms
also, Mr.J. X. Horn, Jr.. living near Hick-
DRY, reports severe damage by them. From
what we can learn, but very little top-cct-
ton will be made in this county.-Newton

EDITORS CLARION:
Being subscriber to your valuable paper,
I have concluded to inform your readers in
regard to our crops. Early corn is good.
Late corn failed on account of the drouth.
1 have been over the county considerably
within the last few days and have seen
many farmers, and men from different parts
OF the county, and all agree that the drouth
was never more fatal on cotton. 1t has shed
all the top crop, and will soon all be open.
The crop will be very light. The late cot
ton is being destroyed by the worms. They
are on all the farms doing great damage.

Cotton Crop F..IInre in Marshal.

The cotton crop of Marshal county, after
the most diligent inquiry, we find will not
be more than half the crep of last year.
The intense heat of the past week has had
the effect TO cause the top and middle crop
to shed off, besides this there is a general
com plaint from all quarters of the rust; add
to these two blighting influences. the army
worm that is now at work, and it will be
discovered, that our estimate of the crop is
a large one.-Independent South.

GERMANY.
A Model UrganizatiOn-WOrk Done and
to be Done.

A remarkable report has just been is
sued by the German Aid Societies for
the relief Of the sick and wounded. 1t
contains minute and comprehensive
details of the societies depots
in that part of France occupied by
the French armies, their various hos
pitfalls all over Germany, the steamers
they chartered, and the sanitary
trains they fitted out for ambulance
purposes. An idea Of the magnitude Of
the operations Of the societies may be
cleaned from the fact that the entries
Of sick and wounded soldiers on their
books stand at five hundred and nine
thousand eight hundred and thirty-sev-
en- men, Of whom sixty thousand were
French. The total income Of the cen
tral committee at Berlinh been nearly
fourteen million dollars. OF this sun
something more than half has been
contributed by Germany. Amer
lea has given one million sew
enty thousand dollars. After de
fraying all necessary expenses the socie-
ties find themselves the pOssessors Of
the balance of two hundred and sixty
one thousand dollars. The societies in
tend &c preserve their formation and
improve their internal arrangements,
50 that they may be the better able in
future TO alleviate suffering without
waste Of time and labor should
another war take place. They in
tend not only to perfect their or
~ganization, but to train as great a num-
Der of nurses as possible, giving them at
the same time some elementary medical
OF surgical instruction, to be brought
into requisitiOn when medical aid is not
at hand, to look after the sanitary cOn-
ditiOn Of their respective towns, to cOun-
teract epidemics by giving advice as to

THE POPE AND THE IRISH.
Cardinal Cullen's Interview with Pie
None-The Latter Rather Hufy.

Prom the New York Herald
Cardinal Cullen, who is widely known
as the head of the UltramOntane party
in Ireland, ard the ally Of Minister
Gladstone, has been on a pilgrimage q
Rome. As the Cardinal has rather an
affection for the sacred city his visit did
not attract much attention, and De
would probably have returned 10 ki.
faithful flock without attracting any
special notice Of the Gi0rndls al R0B10
had he not made asurprising discovery.
According 10 this authority Cardinal
Cullen left Ireland with the object OF
requesting the Holy Father to in
terfera in behalf Of the Galway
priests, who are supposed 70 be persecu-
ted by the government This action on
the part OftheC Cardinal, ntrue, viii place
his character IN q new light; but We
fear his love for the Galway priests, vi q
allowed their patriotism 70 overcome
their discretion, would scarcely induce
him 10 run the risk Of sea-sickness Il
save them from punishment. Accord
ing 10 the GiOraole al Roma the Pope
refused peremptorily 70 interfere, saying
'that the Irish only Obeyed the Holy
See when they could turn It's instructions
% good account, and willingly disObeyed
u rather than sacrifice their passions. -
As the Pope is well-knOwn 20 entertain
a strong prejudice against the Irish, espe-
ciaily those suspected Of dislOyalty q
England, this denunciatiOn Of the pOpu-
lar priests is not at all surprising. In
Rome English Catholicism is the re-
spectacle thing; for the Towards, the
Butes and the Cifiords are milliOnaires,
while the Irish are mere b~og-trotting
believers. That such q people should be
refractory under the government which
the Towards, Butes and ClifIords support
naturally appears a grave and unpar-
dOnable O1ense in the eyes Of His Holt
ness. But it il a little hard on the IN.
fortunate Irish that they are exposed to
rebufis all over the world because they
ere supposed 70 be Papists Of the deepest
I've, while az Rome they are denounced
as little better than beretics. The IN
gratitude Of republics is prOverbial but
il would appear that the churehmen
also a cultivate short memories, and
abandon old and faithful friends for new
and prosperous allies. 1t may be well
doubted, however, If the Pope has done
wisely IN acting 50 as 10 weaken the At
lection Of the Holy See Of a devotea
Catholic nation for the sake Of pleasipq
a few millionaire Catholics, and a pow
eminent that cares little for Rome, ex-
ceps TO make use Of the Papal influence
for the benefit Of England.

STATISTICAL.
The international COngress-Rext Meet
ing in the United States.

From the New York Herald
The international Statistical Congress
which lately met at st. Petersburg was
a notable assemblage Of the practical
thinkers of the civilized world. Except
Turkey and China, all the leading
nations Of the globe were represented.
The European States had fun delega-
tons. Ismail Bey represented Egypt;
japan appeared in the person of -four OF
her most distinguished scholars; Brazil,
Costa Rica and the United States
answered for America. Russia's sailor
Prince, the Grand Duke Constantine,
was the presiding officer, and delivered
a capital address embodying ideas OF
wise progress, and attesting his gener-
N sympathy in the interests of civil
izatiOn and humanity. A most marked
hospitality greeted the assembled dele
gates, as well from the imperial govern
ment and its officials as from all classes
OF the populace. Since the formation
of the association its meetings have
been in turn held in most of the Europe
an capitals; therefore the desire wa
natural, as well as complimentary to
our country, which unanimously recon-
mended that the next session, in 1875
or 1876, should be convened in New
York or Washington. If Congress shall
tender an official invitation it is proba-
bic that the wish expressed at st. Pc
tersburg may be carried out, and the
next session Of the International
Congress Of Statisticians may form q
feature of the centennial celebration of
our national birthday.
