We give a large space in our col
umus to-day TO thc speech of Hon. $.
S. Cox, Of New York, in the House of
Representatives in Congress, upon the
subject of moth. Our readers will find
the speech well worthy Of pcrusal. 1t

and destruction Of clothing usclc,sly

should be expended for preserving from
moths the cassilnere, korseys, cottons,
tents and clothing on hand. Thus
House was hardly prepared for the
statement Of the gentleman from New
York, (Mr. Whoelor,) that there were
