From me Cha-'s. Mercury. THIE COTTON CATERPILLAR. Mr. Editor.-In the Temperance Advocate of a recent date, which I have unfortunately misplaced, I noticed a communication of the venerable Thom as Spalding, of Georgia, dated in Janu ary in relation to the cocoon of the Cotton Caterpillar, with which his ne groes had furnished him. It wouldseem that from analogical reasoning alone, he had inferred, that every one of this great for of our favorite staple, did not annually perish. In my memoir on the Cotton Plant, I expressed a similar opinion, and ad verted to facts which seemed to confirm it. About a month ago, an accurate .observer of this place stated to me, that a lava had been found in the Cotton he was them preparing for market, which however, in consequence of a very sud den and unfavorable change in the weather, survived only a few days. Subsequently he put into my hands two insects about a halt an inch long, and of a dark, dirty color, discovered in the same situation as the first. These, my friend said differed from each other, .and in some respects were unlike the one to which he had previously invited my attention. After a minute examination, I arrived at the conclusion, that the larger was an offspring of the Noctua Xylina. Both were replaced in their downy beds, and locked up in my sec retary. A week afterwards on unfold ing the mass of Cotton to exhibit them to a visiter, the insect my unscientific eye had pronounced of pure blood, was missing. It escaped, no doubt, while I was engaged in writing. To me this was a matter of der-p regret, for on the preservation of its life depended the solu tion of a problem which, as yet is invol ved in mystery. That a few nymphe suvived the winter, I never questioned, but the existence of larva in that season, I had supposed was impossible. In having lately seen a Caterpillar of the Noctua Gossypiperde tribe, I may then be in error; for ahltough the enemy is no stranger to me, yet from my unac quaintance with etomology, I am unable to speak with authority. In the hibeination of the cotton moth facts do not warrant me-in believing, still as the evidence of Mr. Spalding is conclusive, as to the existence of pupa at this time, the planter should be arou sed to the adoption of prompt and active means -to discover them in their places df concealment. In certain locations, in the immediate vicinity of the ocean, it is nearly positive that he will be rewar ded for his search. - Among the: measures now to be resor ted to by the grower of cotton, Mr. Spa! ding recommends.the application of tire to the vegetation surrounding the last year's fields. On my part, I would advise a thorough inspection of the cotton and other houses on the plantation, especial ly those parts.of them where the highest and most uniform temperature is likely to be p:eserved. Fiomi .tleir :nuisetr last season,and the mtild ness oi the winier nowv neatly closed, we hiave subitantial reasons for thintkmgt, that the eny .wtlt :e :ropeatr, and .very early toot in :he ?.mmer. it is cronsolatory, however, to be exm.sve ir alarming. -By the SUte op 'h atmnosphere in May, June, Jul v atnd August, on which its muh~tipli. cation depends, we shall be enabled to determine whether the desolating scene of the -last year is again to -be witnessed. tan-the contfidenit hope that the plan 'ters. of South-Carolina will aid Mr. Ilarper in his latudabhe enterprise, I en close a letter and plrospectus from that gentleman, for publication in your pa pe l espectf iy yours, .

Weights and Measures in School. In H'lland I have never seen elsewhere, but that which ought to be in every school-the actual weights and measures of the country. These were used not only as a means of conveying useful knowledge, but of mental exercise and cultivation. Thet e were seven different liquid measures, graduated according to the standard measure -of the kingdom. The teacher took one in his hand, held it up before the class, and displayed it in all its dimensions. Sometimes he would allow it to be passed along,-by the mem bers of the class, that each one might have an opportunity to handle it, and to form an idea of its capacity. Then he would take anothet., and either tell the class now many trheastires of one kind would be equivalent to one measure of the other, or, iflit thought-them pr, pared for the questions, lie would obtain their judgement upon the ielative capacity of the respective measures. In this way lie would go through the whole series, -re fei ring from one to another, until all had been examined, and their relative ca pacities understood. Then followed arithmetical questions, founded upon the facts they had learned-such as, if one measure full of wine cost so much, what would ar.other measure full cost, (design ating the measure,) of four, or seven other measures full ?-The same thing was then done with the weights. It is easy to see how much more exact and per manent would be the pupils knowledge of all weights and measures, obtained in this way, than if learnrd by heart from the dry tables in a bpok; and also how many useful and interesting exercis.s could be founded upon them by a skilful teacher. I believe it would be difficult to find many men in toe commaniry, of middle age, who can now repeat all th'ise tables of weights and measures, which, as schoolboys, they could rehearse so volubly.; or who, wete they now to see actual sets of weights and measures, could call all the different ones by their true names, or distinguish each denomination from the others if not seen in juxta position with them. Havinglearned the tables by wrote, the words have long ,go vanished from the mind, and the ideas were never in it.-Horace Mann. flechanics among the Ancients. The town of Pompeii was supplied with nater by means of pipes of iron, lead and of baked clay. The museum of the dug out .city -contains a bronze cock, of a large size, which has two communicating pipes. The splashing of water,, which h-is been solong hertheticalLy sealed, can now'be he'ard -in it. It is proved, both by the fountains and fresco paintiing, tbut the, 'Pompeiiains were acquiainte~d with that law of water, which cause~s the fluid flowing.in a pipe to ascend to the level of its souirce, It hasalwaiys bven gravely asserted -that this property was tnot known to thenm, or it-is presumned they wonidenot hav.e carried -their aqueduc's arches of masonry. ?~erhaps in somt of these cases, there ma.y have been labor lost, but they must have known well the impossibility of making masonry to resist the hydrostatic pressure whlere there was a great head of water.-Scredfifc A me ricaln.

Awful Steam -Boat Explosion-O Thursday afternoon, at about a quarter past 3o'clock, the steam boat Medora, Capt. S. F. Miller, which left this nrt on the 10th inst.. for Alexandria, burst her boilers, killing two and wounding g'nd scalding severely twenty persons. The i1ledora stopped at the landing at Port Hudson. for the purpose of taking in some lady passengers-holding the steam 'al the w-hile-and just as she was about starting the explosion took place. The boilers burst aft, sweeping up through the cabin floor at an angle of about,25 degrees. tearing away the wheels and stair.:ways, and in fact, leaving the boat a complete wreck. Both boilers went overboard, car rying with them the two engtnbrv, who seeing the jack stall; --lung in it until as sistance was rend,-red them t.irh-the exception of-the clerk'. who , htly scalded, none of the oflicors. o e boat were injured. Charles Martin, .ren.an, had the top of his sktull blown off by a piece of the boiler, an died instant'f; a lad, who was a passenger, is missing supposed to have tbeen killed also. .One of the hands died on the steamer Natchez on Thursday night, and one of the pas sengers, now is this -city, is -not expected ,to live. The following deck hands and firemen of the Medora were brought in this city yetlerday by the Natchez, and immediate ly sent to the Charity Hospital. Most of them are badly scalded, ^ and it is feared that some of them will not recovet; Pat rick Carley, James Moran, John Rodey and John Hagan, all natives of Ireland; Edward Hays. England; Jacob Andrews, Russia; Jose Dolores Vandez and Jose Urbano, Mexico. Three of the 'passen gers, who were scalded, went up the river from Port Hudson. The Rev. Mr. Was burp, o( addo Parish, any Dr. Flurnoy, who reside. near Greenwood, La.. are both very badly scalded, Maj. Milton Blocker, of North Miss,; and Dr. John R. Evans, of the firm of Itawlins, Evans & Co. of this city, are also severely scalded. A Mr. AMoise, residec:ce unknown, was considerably injured by the falling timbers. All of the above named get:Ilemea. Mr. Washburn excepted, are now :.n this city under medical treatment. A colo,-ed girl was the only female injured. The Jady passengers escaped miraculously, .as the boilers tore their cabin to pieces. - Too much praise cannot be agarded Dr. M. W. Dickinson, of Philad hI W. a passenger on the Natchez, foriis uotifftng attention to those who were scaldedl, and the professional skill he eihibited inadres sing their wounds. From 4 o'clock on Thursday until 5 yesterday; evening lie was employed in the noble work ofchari: ty. May he reap his reward. Thewreck of the Medora was towed dowa.,iy the Natches, and now lies on the opposite side of the river.-N 0. Della, 13th inst. The Dead.--low little do we 'think of the dead. Their bones lie entonbid in all our towns, villages, and neigh~jlioids. The lands they cultivated; eo.. s they built, the works of4eir hauds, are always belbre us.

Stranige thaut the fleeting cazres of life should so soon rush -in and fill the breast to-the -exclusion of those so near. To-day man stands and weeps over the grave of his departed-friends ;;to-tmorrowv, he passes thia' grave with cold indifference TIo-day his- heart is wvrnng with all the bitternegn of anguish for the loss of one he so much loved ; to- morrow, the image of that friend is e-taced from his heart and almost forgetton.
