trary to the unanimous pretensions of
planter, buyer, speculator and locker
on in Vienna, that all conditions prec-
edeDt for first class destruction by
worms were on hand in the ele-
ments and in the ground, they
have not, as yet, put in an appearance,
save here and there in patches at long
intervals, and they are so few in num-
Der as not to destroy five per cent. of
the crop. 1t is not recorded that they
have cut the crop short so far as much

they have done that much"

Sherman's mission TO the West is not
connected with the Mexican border
raid.
1t is reiterated at the War Depart

tions to Gen. Ord counsel the avoid
ance of acts which might produce a
collision between the respective forces
of the two countries, while at the same
time the efforts of the government to
enforce respect of the law on the Dor.
der will be in no degree released, hut
rather strengthened. The War De-
partment, for PRUDENTIAL reasons, de-
cliues to make public at present the
recent telegram to Gen. Ord on this
subject.
