There are many caterpillars and many army worms, according to the way we usually speak of them, bat the insect upon which we now propose to treat is that which- devours the foli? age* of the cotton plant, and is known to natu? ralists as Anemia xylina. In some localities we call it the cotton army worm, and in others the eotton caterpillar?the latter seems to be com? ing -into che most universal use. It was first; -scientifically described by the great American entomologist, Thomas Say, in 1827. It has been known to us since the days when we first formed (he acquaintance of the cotton plant, and it seems to be an insect peculiar to Ameri? ca. According to Dr. D. L-. Phares, of Wood ville, Miss., it destroyed over two hundred tons of eotton in the Bahamas as long ago as 1788; while in Georgia it completely ruined the crop of 17 53. After that date it made sad havoc in! 1800,1804,1S25, and 1826. Since then it has put in a regular annual appearance in greater or - lesser force, in some parte of the cotton States. It always seems to be worse after a severe winter which is explained as follows: "The moth producing, the caterpillar lives' through the winter, in the perfect state. If the winter is severe it lies torpid and requires no food, but if open it remains active, and as there is no supply of its natural food at hand, ? starves to death." The moth or parent of the cotton caterpillar flies only at night. When it rests it sits, hesld downward on some vertical surface, with the inner edge of its wings laid closely against the! sides of i;s body, throwing it into a kind of. triangular shape, or rather in to the shape of a smoothing iron, the head representing the; sharp or iTOht end. While in this condition it! m^ures" about thr^-f??tths 'of;:ari inch in length from head to the rear of wings. The general color of its' upper surface is a golden yellow, inclining to buff, with a faint olive tint exposed near the outer or posterior margin of the; wings when expanded: The fore-wings are marked .'with two prominent spots on each; the spots nearest the tips being of a dark slate color and about the size of a small mustard seed, while those nearest the head are clear white,.and smaller than'the first named.- There arc also to be seen, on close looking, dim, lilac colored lines crossing here and (here over the fore or front wings. As already stated, this moth lives through die winter?early in summer it deposits its eggs on the under side of the cotton leaf in little round batches not unlike a green rasp? berry iu size, color and appearance. In a few days the worms hatch out?and fall at once to feeding on the plant. They are of a green color, but as they progress in size they become greenish; that is, they take upon themselves' pale stripes running longitudinally, and not uiifrequently dotted with black. The back is a hue darker than the general shade of the worm; but really there is no standard by, which, to describe the color of the insect other than to call it greenish, owing to the fact that it varies so much in its coloring. We have often found them covered with a purplish tinge. When fully grown the cotton caterpillar measures about one inch in length, and is rath? er slender in shape. There are several other caterpillars that resemble it very closely, an the grass worm, the boll worm or corn worm, as it is sometimes called?that which you find cut? ting the corn while in roasting ear?bat .it has two peculiarities which enable us to distinguish: it from them very readily." One of the-ie con? sists in a pair of defective feet near the middle of the insect which force it to bend up its body in the act or moving about on the plaui of the span or measuring worm, while the other worms resembling it glide smoothly a Ion 5 by the action of their feet The other peculiarity is in a spiteful leap or spring to some distance when disturbed. Most of the caterpillars coil up and remain motionless when yon disturb them; but none leap off like the cotton worm. It takes about fifteen or eighteen days after hatching to mature the cotton caterpillar. The insect then ceases to eat, folds a leaf together, webs itself up inside the fold, and changes into the chrysalis state, from which, in due time? depending upon the character of the Weather? it comes forth a perfect moth, as already de? scribed, and soon lays the foundation for a* new generation of caterpillars. How many gener? ations there are in tue course of a season iu not clearly known, some entomologists, claim two and others three. It is our opinion that this also depends upon the season?that there are just as many generations as the course of na? ture and the length of the season will permit. Of course we need not go to the trouble of explaining what is meant by the term moth. A moth is simply a night butterfly, generally speaking, for most of them fly in the night. We sometimes call them millers, and when they come into our houses and pitch at our lamirw we call them "candle-flies." So the mot 2 of the cotton caterpillar is a yellowish miller or a yellowish "candle-fly," just; as we please to style it. Some of our exchanges have a good deal to say about the "fly of the cotton caterpillar," which sounds a little awkward, for in science a fly is a creature with only two wing*, as a house fly, or a horee fly; whereat the cotton moth has four wings, and ia there? fore no fly. We have but little to offer in the way of remedies with which to combat this pest or the pianter. Hand-picking the plants is {.uro but hardly practical in all cases. Fires built about the field at night would be likely to do some good in the way of destroying the moth, as it has a natural disposition to fly into them. We know of several persons who are now experi? menting with dry Paris green sprinkled, upon the plants, after having been mixed with fifteen or twenty parts of dry ashes or slacked lime, and we hope to hear a good report from them. ?Mobile Register. ? Early rising wa? once an indication of thrift, but now it indicates that a man .is thirs A Montana Ghost Story. It will be remembered1 by many of pur read? ers that some years since an affray occurred in Sterling, which resulted in the death of a man named Hanna; that parties charged with his murder were arrested, tried, and acquitted; and that it was shown, that one of the parties tried did wound-the victim unto death, but satisfied the jury that it was done in self-defence. This much by way of introductory i* necessary, as that tragedy has to do with the events we shall describe. In the Lower Hot Springs district, in the neighborhood of Sterling, stands a rock house erected by a mining courpanysome years, since, a building of more pretensions than any other in that vXcinity. .Afterreraaining tenant less' for a longi time this property' passed into other hands, mining operations in that vicinity were renewed, and the house was again- occu? pied, this time, however, by miners, a class- of men not usually afflicted with weak nerves, neither over credulous concern .ng the ghostly stories of the past, nor easily scared by pre? tended visitors from the <^p<feeovered bourne." Among these-occupants-was the person referred to above as having killed Han ia. Soon after taking possession ofHhe house- the inmates be? gan to be disturbed at night by noises as some I of some one moving.about the "hqnse^now in I one room and now in another, hut always' un? accountable, since, their-own number weee all I 'present; and ho one else "was In' the vicinity' I who could make the disturbance. These man? ifestations continuing, the legitimate occupants of the house commenced an investigation as to the cause; When the disturber of their slum? ber appeared it wa* pursued with a view to its ejection from the premises. But, although it could he plainly heard, it was formless to their human'ken. When approached if retreated:; keeping ever just beyond their reacn, and seem in giv- inviting pursuit since it madeira attempt at escape, but ever as the pursuers advanced its footsteps could'bo- distinctly Jieanl .just before therri. * This^ruitl&s Search "'wW^oritiriffed night after night for weeks, and always with the game result?the human footsteps were al? ways heard by afl,Vu? no' human form was ever seen by any.

[ Virginia City Montanian. ? <;rRANT r AM) THE REOUW.E8.-PresidBUt Grant's friends In South .Carol na do pot pro? pose to let him t?rn his back upon them in the hour of their adversity. They have been his most constant supporters ; the interests of his administration and those of the plunderers who have been robbing the State have been considered identical; and now that there has been a bolt in the party, they mean! that the President shall support the ttegular nomina? tions, or they will know the reajon why. Grant has indicated his determination not to take any Sari; in the quarrels among the Republicans of outh Carolina, regarding the difficulties there as of a local nature, requiring no interference from Washington. If Mr. Grant had always acted on this policy it would have been better for the Republican party to-day; but that has nothing to do with the present issue; The State executive committee of tse Moses faction have sent a messenger to the President to in? form,him in very plain language that if certain 'Federal officials -are not compelled to cease -their opposition to the regular nominations, they shall not feel under ar.y obligations to work for his re-election. Thin is a very imper? tinent message; but those carpet-baggers are an unmannerly set, and nothing better could be nxpected from them. In ense the President refuses to obey their demands, they do not pro? pose to vote for Greeley, but to refrain from voting at ail. They consider that they are all in the same boat; and if Grant will not aid , them, they see no reason why i;hey should exert themselves in his interest. As Moses is the . representative of South Carolina on the Grant national execunvie*'committe?)," the threatened revolt begins to' look serious. It would be very curious if Grant, after disgracing his adminis? tration, by* an unnecessary proclamation-*of ?martial law* in Sooth Carohm, hlade expressly to maintain the carpet-baggfira in authority, should finally be thrown overboard by those rascals, who owe their success in thieving mainly to the protection which he has afforded them.?UTew York Sun. \ 9 m \ * . ? ., I j Death of a. Confederate General.? James Patterson Anderson, Major-General in the late Confederate army, died at his residence, near Memphis, Tennessee, on last Friday mor? ning, from an attack of pneumonia. He served in the war with great ability; a Confederate despatch speaking of him in these terms: "Ma? jor-General Patton Anderson, one of the bravest, coolest and most skillful of -our young officers, has been assigned to the command of the Flori? da District, whether he has proceeded." He graduated at West Point from the State of Ten? nessee, and separated from the Ubion army/ in which his promotion was satisfactory, on the declaration of the war. General Anderson at? tained the rank of chief of Hindsman's Divi? sion, Hood's army, in Auguit, 1864. He was severely wounded in the head at the battle of Jonesboro, and arrived in Americus. Georgia, some short time subsequently. At a later date j General Anderson was relieved of his command in Florida and sent to Tenr essee. A Union officer, writing at Jacksonville, Florida, on. the 7th of April, 1804, spoke of the General's ac? tion in the following words.: "Major-General Patton Anderson, commanding the Confederate forces in East Florida, sent yesterday to bur lines a flag of truce covering a most isourteous letter to Brigadier-General Hatch. Accompa? nying the letter he sent a complete l ist of our wounded in his hands, so prepared to show the character of their ? wounds, he. He also ex? pressed the hope that such a list might be the means of allaying anxiety o \ the part of the friends and families of the wounded prisoners. Most glad am I to chronicle an act so courteous and humane as this, albeit s. rebel General is its author." He maintained his character for dash, generosity and love of his fellow-men to the last. ? An old toper, who lately attended the Polytechnic, where the learned professor.caused several explosions to take place from gasses under water, said: "You don't catch me put? ting much water into my liquor after this. I had no idea before that water was so dangerous, though I never use much of it." ? If you can arouse curionity by tin adver? tisement it is a great point gained.

Warrants for LiBEL.-^-One Dr. Javan Briant, who was suddenly converted to Radi? calism just after the nominations for the Legis? lature two years ago, and became a warm sup? porter of the present corrupt administration, and who has been a constant Libeller of the decent and respectable people of his native County ever since, has Bued out warrants for | libel-against the Editorand Proprietor of this paper. The warrants are based upon an edito? rial which .appeared'in our last issue-, in.' refer? ence to the acts and doings of the Riidical Con? vention, held a few days previous in this town- ] All we have-to say, at present, in reference to this proceeding is, that if the said Briant hopes by such a course to prevent us from giv? ing t.?cpres?ion to any such just criticism as we may 'think proper to make upoa.his political acts or his fitness for the responsible position he-seeks>. ?r from hording him up to the public scorn and contempt which' we may think he| deserves, he is very badly mistaken. If he de? sires to avoid such criticism or such strictures as we, as a public jpurnajisfc may deem it our | duty or our privilege to make, he will best se? cure the desired end by seeking that quiet ob? scurity whiohis best for him and the conntry, and where he may find time and opportunity jtaonnMOai virtuous sense of right, which he mav have 'had before he knew Joseph the "child-like and bland" of in&moua. notoriety. ~-?SpvHailburg Spartan, ' ? li'j-. j m, '1 Wf\ I \ ???} : I Saving Money.?The possession Of a few dollars often makes all the difference between happiness and-misery,.and no man, especially with a family dependent upon him, can be truly independent unless he has a few dollars .reserved for the time of need. While extreme carelessness as to the expenditure of money will make a rich man poor, a wise economy will almost as certainly m -o a poor man rich, or at least make him, to a ?nsiaerable extent, independent of the caprice- of employers' and of the common vicissitudes of life. Nothing is more important to the poor man than the I habit of sayingspmetbing; 'but his little hoard will "soon 'begfn*-to grow-at a rate which will; surprise and gratify him.

Evidently, therefore, if Southern agriculturists would save their crops from the ravages of these voracious pests, it is? better, for them to endeavor to destroy the moth: before its myriad eggs are laid than to under-1 take the fut?e task of hunting out the nascent larva themselves. To this end an ingenious planter some years ago adopted a plan which, We were informed at the time, was as efficacious as it was simple, consisting .only, in placing about his field elevated 'torches, to which"at night the moths were attracted, and in the [?blaze of which they inevitably1 committed sei f I destruction: Whether this device has been tried and found to fail in other instances, or whether it is unused becanse unknown, we can-! not say, but we give it new publicity under the latter supposition.?N. Y. World. Advice to Young Men and Women, too. ?The Columbus Sun gives a list of names of some twelve persons who have just left that city and vicinity and gone to Texas. After expressing a regret to part with such good citi? zens, the editor says: "If our. young men would be willing to do. the same class of work here, and receive the same pay for it that they will be forced to do amoag strangers and in a new country, none would lack employment, and oar 'country sodn regain her wealth and prosperity. Men have to work, no matter to what clime they go; and why is it not better to remap with friends and among the companions of your youth, rather than go West? Let our young men stay At home. We need them all to assist in develop? ing the mechanical, manufacturing and agri? cultural ?. resources of our country. Let them put their shoulders to the wheel, bending their strength and energy to any honorable work, and the result will be ten-fold larger here than can be attained elsewhere." Death of Senator Davis.?Hon. Garrett Davis, U. S. Senator from Kentucky, died at his home in Paris, Ky., on Sunday, 22nd of September. He was bo ru in that State in 1801, and while yet a boy, was employed as a writer for the County and Circuit Courts of the Dis? trict. Beginning in 1883, he was for three successive terms elected to the State Legisla? ture ; from. 1839 to 1847. he was in the lower House of Congress, and since 1861 he had rep? resented his native State in the United States Senate. His second term in that body would have expired on the 4th of March next. _Mr. Davis was originally a Whig, and was one of the most intimate personal ana political friends of Henrj; Clay. ? .At ;the outbreak of the war, he sided with the South, and was one of its few advocates oh the floor of the Senate. * An up? right and amiable gentleman, holding fast to the landmarks of toe past as his guides for the present, and thoroughly earnest in advocating such views in Congress in the face of an over? whelming majority, Mr. Davis will leave be? hind him the memories of an honorable public life. ?? A subscriber wishes to learn if poets have to pay for the poetical license. ? A bow should always be bent?particu? larly an elbow. - A lady wished to have her husband's life insured in a Boston office the other day, giving as a reason that she wanted either a husband or some money, "she didn't care which." She never expected both at the same time. ? Mrs. Partington says she don't nee what they want of a grand jury. She thinks that a common jury is grand enough as her husband felt so grand when he was on a jury, that no? body dared to speak to him for a month after? wards. - A youngwoman once married a man by the name of Dust, against the wish of her pa? rents. After a short time they began to quar? rel, and she attempted to return to her father's house, but he refused to receive her, saying: "Dust thou art, and unto Dust thou shalt re? turn." And she got up and dusted. - Dr. Gross, the celebrated surgeon, was one dangerously ill. Soon after his recovery, he met one of his lady patients, who remarked to him: "Oh, Doctor, I rejoice that you are out again I Had we lost you, our good people would have died bv the dozen." "Thana you, madam." leplied the affable Doctor; "but now I fear they will die by the Gross." ? Gov. Vance represents the sentiment of the Southern people correctly when he declares that they regard the status of the negro as sot tied finally and forever. Tho negroes arc free and invested with the. right of suffrage, and notwithstanding all that has como and.gone they and their former masters will get on peace? fully and prosperously together if, in conse? quence of Mr. Grccley's election, the carpet? baggers are expelled from the South. ?-The-Boston Pott tells us that 'la noble colored man in Memphis successfully signaled danger ahead to an approaching train with his wife s red flannel petticoat."
