The Boll Worm
Mr. JAMES D. TATUM, says thc Aberdeen

effectual bar to tho depredations of tho boll
worm. Last year ho oreotod martin boxes at
eonvonionb distancos through his farm, whicli
weird soon erowded with these harmless
birds. These martins destroyed tho fly which
doposits tho eggs from which'tho worm is pro
duced. In his*field of 100 acresr, he-did not
?nd a ?Ingle boll worm. This is a oheap pro
vontiitivo, if truo, and, at least, worthy of a

Thoro is no donging tln't nundi anxiety is
folt by Ibo people of Walhalla us to tho ulti
mate location of tho Air-Lino Road. Our citi
sona from tho first havo fully appreciated its
groat importance, and tho many advantages
which would flow from a crossing at this placo,
and have displayed a commondablo steal aud
I liborality to soouro this ond. Apart from mon
etary considerations, arising from couuty,
town and individual subscriptions of stock, con
ditioned upon tho road running within two
milos of tho court house, there aro othorstrong
inducements, why it should seek and find ti
crossing at Walhalla. We havo a living, thriv

Neglected Mineral Wealth
Besides mica, mentioned in oar last issuo,
thoro aro other valuable minerals found in con
siderable abundanco in thoso mountains, that
havo hitherto been entirely nogleoted. Hock
chrystal, or transparent quartz, is ono of tboso.
This substance was formerly ascd for a varioty
bf purposes for which glass is no\. alone em-"
ployed, and thou commanded a vory high price.
Drinking cups of suporior thinness, and beau
tifully carvod, woro mude out of it. Two of
theso, covorod with sculpturo rcproaonting
scenes from tho Iliad, woro owned by tho Em
poror Nero, who (valueing thom abovo all bis
other treasure?)destroyed thom nt his downfall,
that no one clso should drink out of thom.
Even a century ago, bc foro tho invention of
strass or paste jewelry, and the'application to
any extent of out glass to ornamental purposes,
a single mino of this mineral near Zinken sold
for $300,01)0. It is used, at tho prosont limo, J
for making tho lenses of spectacles, on account ?
of its superior hardness und durability to glass,
and.to its pleasant coldness to tho touch. Tho \
louses require, however, to bo cut at right an- I
gles to thc'nxis of tho chrystal, to avoid tho of- I
feet of tho double reflection of tho mineral, *
which is very unpleasant and injurious to tho
sight. Tho Chin?se uso it for a variety of pur- 1
posos, and in Japan it is in extensivo demand jj
for making largo balls, Haid to be used sololy -<
for cooling tho hands. Clear transparent Rock (

copper) to a dollar a pound. Large and hand-j,

ATLANTA, GA., Sept 3rd, 1ST 1
Mr. Nimrod Sullivan,
Dear Sir : Fifty years ago I was, for twolvo
months, a baby pupil of yours, near what is
now called Walhalla. Almost p. vc ry incident
of that year's history has laded from my
memory, but L remember distinctly the kind
face and gentle, patient treatment of my
teacher.
Last wcok, in Columbia, S. C., T was in
i troduoed to a gentleman of your nomo j this
I reminded me of you, and, upon*inquiry, I
learned that you were still exercising your
honorable profession near tho same placo. L
determined to write to yon, not with the hopo
of reviving your recollection of mo. but to
thank you for your faithful otfort to discharge
thc duties of a most important oifioo.
During that year I must h ive learned to
read Fiiiglish perfectly, for I can't romeinber
when I was unable to read as well ns I now
rio. With that year ended my school instruc
tion. My father, (whom perhaps you ro
member,) General Andrew Miller, removed,
when I was about five years old, to ono of the
newly -'settled counties of Georgia, where
schools and school masters were unknown.
With a wandering Irishman I afterwards made
sonic further progress, ?ml from him as a pri
vate tutor, I learned ''a little Latin and less
G rook " A residence in Europe as a student
nf medicino, gavo me an opportunity to add
to this irregular and insudicioiit training a
knowledge of the. French language j and so
ended what, by Courtesy, may he called my
education. Tho foundation of it, tho firm
substratum of it, was laid by your caro and
patient assiduity. The manner of doing if.
I was tm) young to remember, but I know
Unit you opened to my mind thc avenios to
knowledge, and I have always felt most grate
ful for your kindness.
My gray hairs admonish ino that, in all
likelihood, I will not, on this earth, bc per
milted to thank you in person ; I, therefore,
write this note, in thu hope that you will he
pleased to know that one of your many pupils,
while profiling hy your instruction, is glid
also to acknowledge his obligation to you.
I tun, very respectfully,

I believe t could, with very little propor

our people, only as a manifestation of their
accord and endorsement, of the enterprise,
(in fact such assurance has been made to me
from two so J roos.) have a lino of steamers

South, and Wing back cotton. [ is surely
tho interest and poYi?y-?tf. Ibo B***u tfl triter

alone will never build up the fortunes nf tho
Southern States ; and I am impressed with
