Camden Journal : The cotton caterpillar, or army worm, has made its appearance in this vicinity and the cotton fields are being laid waste in a burry. However, the damage to the cotton does not amount to much, as ali the matured bolls will open anyhow. The late rica has been badly injured by them, aud fields that would bave produced thirty and forty bushels per acre had they uot come, will not yield more than ten or fifteen bushels per acre. Everything in the wayofgreeu vegeta? tion is devoured by them. The British steamship Baruesmore sailed from Wilmington, N. C., October Gib, for Liverpool, with a cargo of cotton and naval stores valued at ?200,000. She is the first steamer cleared from Wilmington for a for? eign port since, the war, but it is expected other steamers will follow her, with the pros? pect of a regular line between that place and Liverpool ere long. Public sentiment is very s'rong in favor o? the railroad to Lanes. It will become an assured fact when the leading bu iness men combine, organize and devote their energies to the work. With the proper management no difficulty will be encountered in obtaining the requisite amount of capital.-Geot. ?nq. Our readers will be glad lo learn that the opening of the Santee and Wi nyah canal is now ouly a questiou of time. Mr. Yeates, the survevor, has forwarded bis report to Xorfolk and Captain Jas? Mercar, the engi? neer of the District, has given the project bis unqualified approval. The work will bt commenced as soon as practicable. The addi? tional appropriation needed will be made by Congress at its next session, upon thc recom? mendation of -the River and Harbor Com? mittee.-Georgetown Enquirer. Jay Gould and William II Vanderbilt art said to have expressed themselves is attaching little or no importance to the anti-monopoly convention. The former is credited willi iii* remark that it will be composed of politicians out of business, but anxious for a neu- de.il ?* and the latter observed that it was hard :o tell what these people wanted, as all railroad transportation at this moment was cbeaper than it had ever been before, aud none had a monopoly of thc business, inasmuch as any, body could build a railroad d;at wanted to. A Conference Committee of Senators from each party held a caucus last Saturday, in Washington, and the maneuvering on im? part of the Democrats bid* fair, tor their nlii mate success. The Republicans wanted to confer upon the organization of the Sen? ate, when the Democrats declined to ti eat upon the subject of an election of a President pro tem. This was a wise step as evinced by the. fact that the Republicans did not wish to cau? cus any longer and the conference forthwith broke up. A few Republican papers are trying to make it appear that the Senate can choose a president pro tem. on the outside. Such a proposition relects some of the follies of the element to which they belong. Suppose the Democratic senators were to follow their advice, and put an outsiJe Democrat at tin bead of the Senate to give the casting cote On all party questions? This is the manner in which Republicans might proceed, were they possessed of the power to begin with. The Cincinnati Commercial does not doubt that Senator Bayard will be unanimously chosen president of the Senate by the Demo? crat?. He is senior Senator in point of servi re ofthat party, and the custom of promoting the senior to the presidency is rarely ever dis? regarded by the Senate. It is satisfied no other Democratic name will be proposed or suggested. There are some Republican sena? ters who maintain that tbe presidency of the senate and its secretary should not be conce ded to the Democrats : that there is no man? datory law requiring the president to be j elected before new senators 2re admitted, and : that Republicans should -onteud for these j offices. There ai?, however, ? number of I Republicans who think as Senator Dawe?, I that the law governing inc cas? gives the ad { vantage to the Democrats, and that it must ! be" observed. 4s yet no candidates for the ! secretaryship of the Senate have announced j themselves, but now that an extra session j has been assembled they ? ill not be lacking. THE GUANO DEBT. .-0 j The effort to reduce the price of Guano, so I warmly advocated by the farmers in some of j our counties, and endorsed by one or two newspapers, has collapsed. There seems to have been a sufficient knowledge of right and wrong in the minds of the great majority, to prevent their participation in the scheme I which was rendered so plausible. The farm? ers of Anderson County who initiated thc public meetings, seem now to be ashamed of their action,-.-ince it has injured their credit and tended to impeach that honest intent which is invariably attributed to the tilter of the soil. The farmers of Sumter Co???y are meeting their payments with unusual promptness, and, in spite of their short crops, are, with few exceptions, applying it entirely to the satisfaction of their creditors AYe think that the Legislate.re will scarcely interfere with thc lieu law lo atty great extent, so that with the credit which prompt i payment always makes better, those who are " j unable to pay cash for their supplies are like > ly to obtatu them at a lower rate than last 1 I year. il ones fy is the best pot icy. MONOPOLIES -o The suppression of monopolies and a better adjustment of the relation between capital and [ labor, than now exsists, are questions which are de&tined to take a promiccut place ia the future ai no very remote period. Many chang, es are to be made before ve arrive at that ideal state contemplated by our forefathers, in which liberty, equality and fraternity are enjoyed by every citizen. One of the many causes which retard our finaucial prosperity, is the wide-spread ten? dency towards cowmcrcin] gambling. Year by year the operations of speculators are as? suming larger proportions, and stocks and futures are claiming the attention of a gloater number of business men. The amounts which are realized by powerful syndicates and ? ! wealthy individuals in the manipulation of j "watered*' stocks, aud "cornered" 'markets, is simply enormous, while thc honest mer? chant who makes the largest profit which competition will allow, must spend years to accumulate a comparatively moderate sum. The ability to acquire a fortune by patient and industrious labor will soon become a thing of thc past, while the ooly source of wealth will be in speculations. The barm that is occasioned by such a state of affairs is due, uot to a direct dimi? nution of the aggregate wealth of the country, but in its partial and improper distribution. Pro$i>erity docs not mean the accumulation of fabulous wealth by a few while the masses have barely the means to subsist, nor does it meau a state of tMu^sJj^^?ich,, individuals, hy the^uere power of wealth, can take adva5-r tage of scarcity to hold a comodity until ne? cessity compels the consumer to accede to exhorbitaut demands. But towards just such a state are we now drifting, and the effort to avoid it gives rise to granges and trades unions, and strikes and demoralization, and it is not surprising. Something must be radically wrong when the producer is the drudge of society, when mental and physical labor is uarenumerative, and industry goes for nothing, while the non producer can gain indefinite wealih according to his means to coulrol the markets to his ad? vantage. One of the chief causes of the hard limes now so generally complained of, is the high price of provisions. This is not due to scarcity, for nearly thirty millions ol" bushels of corn are now stocked in the ware-houses nf Chica? go, while stock is starving, and families are in want, from inability to pay the advanced price. Production and consumption no ! longer control it, but its ?uetnations now de? pend upon the relative financial strength of the so-called bulls and bears of Northern markets. Exactly in what way the difficulty is tobe remedied bas not boen determined ; but the ' Democrats of New York have made the issue, aud are arranging themselves with the anti monopolists. It is claimed that the reform has more of a moral than a legal nature, and cannot be touched by legislation, bat since j the welfare of the people is l he foundation of all law, the evil will be met by the proper remedy in the course of time. KAY CULTUEE. Our attention has been attracted of hoe to j ihe disposition on the part of the farmers to ! cut :md make hay which speeies of husbandry i attested itself on last Saturday by the many j wagon loads that were brought to town to ! be weighed, and which were sold for good prices. This unusual amount of hay-saving is I rather to be attributed to ihe effects of the drought than an evidence of :i c thrift in I fanning. The late rains, having revived (he hparcheii earth enriched by the manure put J down in the spring, brought forth a most j luxuriant croo of grass. The majority of j farmers, having at^tudunrd al! hopes ofmak ! i ti g any tiling like a crop of cuni or cotton, ; j thought it lifeless lo plow cotton-and ?I was too late tu the season to stir corn. Coiisc ? qucntly this rank growth ut' grass absorbed thc remaining sircngth ol' the niau nie which j the long dry spell prevented its entire virtue j from having effect upon 'he [.Tauted crops; I and all cotton left unplowed aft? r tin- ram -commenced opening prematurely. Where ! cotton was plowed, and attended lo regularly ! it received the bent fit of both rain and . manure, and with a late t.-.ll almost a f?ll I crop can l-e hoped fur. Those that did not j pursue this course from ne essity are comp? 11 I ed lo lay in a heavy Supply of hay as an off ? set for other losses. Hence the reason for a : large crop . f hay this year. j 4iOut ol'bad may com? goo?! :*' s<> ii is to I be hoped this year's drought may prove the . economy of the hay crop. Vor we are im ; pressed thal hay culture should be adopted j by the fat mers, and made a regular crop. j To farra successfully cattle are indispeusa ! blc ; as what is realized {'rom them experience ? teaches is cheapest when produced at home. I With trie '"?10 fence law" they will he re i quired to be fed during winter and carly j spring, being shut off from the swamps, and . cain brakes, their existence will depend not '?. upon their own exertions, but the owners', j This the case, a crop of the cheapest, and ; best forage must be cultivated. Hay is that ; forage. As with the least Iuh</r, ^rpcrise, time, j find trontJc grass can be made to grow toa ! high state of cultivation almost voluntarily. j The adoption of the hay crop urges itself ? the more as the small farm system becomes ; more firmly establish in the South. Which : will finally bc the farming system South the : better off the poor white man, and negro gets. To farm for one self is preferable than to farm for another as lhere is more happi? ness and money in it. Another item of thc importance of the hay culture in the South is that it will be the means of keeping our own capital here-, ?nd circulating for tbe benefit of rich and poor i ??like. Every year thousand of bundles of j I hay arc shipped from the North to supply | j Southern consumption which is equivalent j ! to so many dollars und cents out of the I I farmers' pockets for tho very commodity they j ; could produce to a better advantage than ; j the enterprising Northerners. Another advantage in the hay culture is, when the harvest season is over there is always a month or two idle time for the horses and mules, during which the heavy food, corn, need not be fed to them as nutri? tious forage like hay answers all purposes, and perhaps better for their systems in the time of rest : and thc corn usually appror/rir atcd for horse-feed taken to fatten hogs that are to supply thc year's bacon. (This sys? tem of farming will repeal the lien law quicker than a thousand legislative en act m PU ts.) It might also be claimed for this crop that theodor hay is pregnant willi serves a medi? cinal purpose as it acts as a disinfectant, and. ?hough'not a panacea fur cattle diseases, its purifying properth-s cleanse the bowels, and, to that degree, prevent disease. Tjpou ?he whole the hay cuitare will have a reconstructing r?'ndef?cy, and the fanners in Consulting tue best way to "make every edge cut" will take a step to that end by seriously considering ibis matter. TRIBUTS CF RESPECT. . When, upon former occasions, we have been Summoned lo pay the last tribute of respect toour-Brothers,.-who have leen called from our midst, it has ever been that the blow o-' the Great Destroyer has fallen upon the aged Cra i"; s tn a o, lull o t' * ea rs a a J bono rs, bail i n g the last enemy as a friend, who, raising the veil which shuts out the hereafter, ushers flic weary and toil-worn laborer into the Eternal rest of the Supreme Lodge above. Dut now we are assembled to lay the cy? press wreath upon the bier of enc, who, fuji of hope and energy, just stepping fori h upon the journey of life, had scarcely commenced to lay down thc designs for bis work, ere thc Ruffian from whom there is no escape, struck the blow, which severed him forever from oar sight, and withered in a moment all of the hopes and aspirations he had so fondly aud confidently cherished. '.Thou bast ali Seasons for thine Own, Oh Death !" Our deceased Brother, DAVID ELISHA Du BOSE, received the degree of Master Mason in Salem Lodge No. M!. A. . F.\ M.*. April 22d, 1 ?80, becoming a member of the Lodge at the same time; and died August 13th, ISSI, at the age of 31 y ?irs, o' months and 7 days. The short term of his affiliation with us precludes the possibility of our presenting an extended Masonic Record ; but even in this short time, bis modest, courteous demeanor had won our esteem, and the fraternal and affectionate relations which only Masons can appreciate, had been fairly established be tweeu bira and every member of our Lodge. His interest in our Order was evinced by his tegular attendance at cur Communications, aud his adoption of our tenets was exhibited by his prompt ned liberal response to every demand of charity. His reputation for honor and integrity was unblemished, and had he been spared to a longer period of labor with us, he would no doubt have met with that advan -T^a^vbicb^-vjy; fails.to xc^-a^ ^?Tf worthy Craftsman. But he has been taken from us by Death, and; drawing the pall which Covers his mor? tal remains, over his errors and frailties, what? ever they may have been, and remembering only what was good and noble and honora? ble in his Hie, let us lay the body of our friend and Brother, in its last resting place, trusting his immortal soul lo the mercy and cu tn pas Lsion of the Great Architect above. 4iTo the voice of the Master, high o'er us ;Have ibe Cia fis met) obeyed my commands?' Conn s the voice of the Mason replying .Look with grace un the work of our hands ; In our feeble and poor earthly fashion We have tried to hew out the rough stone. Let the depths of Thy boundless compassion, For the faults of our labor atoue I' " While we know that He who made and rules the Universe dooth all things well, and while we bow with humble submission to His ivery fiat, it is right and proper that we should place on Record some cxpresssion of the esteem and regard in which we held out deceased Brother, and our grief at his death, and that we should extend our sympathy lo those who arc so sorely bereaved by the loss of an affectionate consort and parent ; B<-ii therefore Revived. Thal we the mem? bers of Salem Lodge No. 141, A.\ F.*. M.-. deeply deplore the death of our friend and Brother DAVID ELISHA DuBOSE.
