Issyoiosuo assure yon that this Community share to the full your confidence in the future. Lands have appreciated within a twelve month almost as rapidly and as fully as assessors and "boards or" equalisation" would indicate. Large plantations ne*r Camden and on the railroad have been subdivided into con? venient farms, and are selling at nigher prices than have ever before been fcnorrc nere. It ie true, these are -choice lands, and admirably located, but as tbey are fiOed up ' by our best people, tbe adjacent lands at Once reel the in? fluence, and the wave of improvement daily flows further on. ? ^ There is only one view of our immediate prosperity whieh yon express from which 1 must dissent, that is, the extent of the cotton crop; and even that was possible, not proba? ble, when voa indulged in your vaticination. Upland cotton on first September presents tbe appearance usual by the middle ot October denuded of Hs leaves,, blooms and forms, with nothing, left but well matured boll?. Rust or blight has already produced the effect of a heavy frost on most of tbe cotton I have seen, Tbe exceptions are in fresh lands where there is an abundance of vegetable matter, and in the swamp lands where' the- cotton loos? well, bot is too Jato. Fortunately the early crop is very good, bot ic this section a fair crop even of cotton is impossible, and the same causes have been at work in Alabama and Georgia. 3,000,000 bales was always an onside estimate for this years' crop; now 1 think 2.500,000 balea would be very fnlL I am, ftc, PLA*nra. THE CATERPILLAR. IM INQUIET INTO THE CAU3E9 AND MANNER OF THE RAVAGES OF THE COTTON WORM. Srngfestiens for their Prevention. To General Johnson Hagood, President S. V. Agricultural and Mechanical Society: In considering the subject of "the continu? ed recurrence of the cotton worm, together with ito possible canse, and therewith some practical prevention,' I have thought it best submit the inquiries entertained, through jon, to the public, BO that the society, at ita nest session, might be induced to consider the ssone, and possibly reach some useful conclu? sion in connection therewith. I publish in advance, in order that facts cit? ed and concludions maintained might be brought under careful review, and by search? ing inquiry and criticism, sifted of anything not in accordance with what is known. I trust this matter will not bs neglected, for it is, if not the most important, at least most, inoperative question of the times connect? ed with the production* of our great staple, and by that much"' too relimately connected with the financial, antTconsequent social, and political interests oT the Sontij, to justify in? difference. With this estimate* of the subject, I trust I will be pardoned for the f-xteut and minute* ne*e of the inquiries made. I am, very truly, JOHN W. ?. POPE, Of St Luke's. Tia? Cotton Worm. It must be confessed that on oar coast at least the present season has not been such, on the whole, as to have warranted, as in for? mer times, the presence of the cotton worms to any visible extent Yet they are upon us. Their recurrence, however, is none the less assignable to some producing cause or new combination of circumstances, which it may be of the highest importance to know. The presence of the worm to however greit an extent one year by no maana involves the necessity of their coming the next. Nay, in old times just the contrary was held. Th? y swept everything bafore them in 1804,1825 and 1846; yet not one was to be seen or beard of in 1806, 182C, or 1S47; nor after 1846 WM any ap? preciable injury suffered from these insects, save m one or two local instances, until after 1861 at least, and, I think, after 1863-a space of fifteen or sixteen years? These broad facto must be fairly kept in view. The questions which have excited inquiry in connection with this subject, rs known to me, are as follows: 1st. Da these insects hibernate with us ? 2d. Do they burrow in the earth ? 3d. Hts the destruction of the 'birds any? thing to do with the unprecedented recurrence of worms ? 4th. Has the absence of "stock" in oar pas? tures been conducive to their coming ? ?5tb. Has careless cultivation OT defective drainage contributed to the same? 6th. fias the failure to use our accustomed manures a like tendency to produce them? . 7th. Has the continuous planting over of the cotton fields in cotton promoted or induced the worm? ~ I propose to answer tbese conctsoly. They do hibernate with us. A genuine moth was taken last January by Mr. Ashe Seabrook, an intelligent and observant young gentleman, who. could not possibly be deceived by tb? genuineness of tho moth. The insect waa bad? ly inj ired by the eoid, and though carefully provided for, died soon after being taken. Mr. Seabrook reports having been several after? wards. Mr. Ephraim Seabrook, Jr., reports also having seen the genuine worm, with which hs waa pwectly conversant, eating tb ey ono g cotton in the latter part of April, 1808. Ho, too, were they seen early this spring on James' leland, as reported in THE NB wa. The cocoon of this moth does undoubtedly bnrrow in the earth. I saw several ploughed out of the earth about the 1st April, 1868; took them up and found them active, and pronounc? ed them unquestionably the cocoon of the cot? ton caterpillar. So did my. foreman, a smart, observant and experienced man of his color. Planters around ms reported the same thing. This spring the cocoons were ploughed up by thousands. This cocoon is as well known and as distinguishable by certain peculiarities both of motion and otherwise as the worm or moth, in which no experienced observer can be mistaken. It is idle any longer to entertain doubt on this subject. As to the supposed destruction of the birds. This is simply a question of fact. There bas been no soon destruction. The coast swarms with birds af all kinds, hence this point is dis? missed as fatally defective as to tact. The absence of domestic animals I thought at one-tune had mach to do with the subject. Upon reflection I think otherwise. First, for the reason that we have no pastures, but plant our clearer lands 07er. Furthermore, Doth in Texas and Florida, where these animals .till abound, the worms are as bad, if not worse than anywhere else. So roo do they prevail in other sections without diminution, where the "stock" bas been preserved. Still further, when our pastures w?re filled with ".took" of all kinds this did not prevent the coming of the worms in 1804, 1825,1846, or par? tially in intermediate years. In 1846 they came early in'July, and eat up everything on the tace of the earth by the 16th of August. . The facts are too strongly against this spec? ulation to leave any value m ir. The careless cultivation and defective drain? age theory, most show the some fate. Facts are too strongly against it to render the con? clusion in this connection at all admissible, so far as the presence ot the worm is concerned. Co ttoD, fick??ed with water or from any other cause, is the last to be attacked by the worm. Again, the cultivation weich we admit to have been good in '16 and '23, did not prevent their coming early and ra countless hordes. Nor do we find slattern work in certain sec? tions, or on certain plantations, conducive to the presence of the wot m there, beyond other places, far or near, hay, those plantations where they invariably made their appearance first, when they came at all, sometimes going nowhere else, were notoriously, among-the best cultivated in this section, and among the best lands. In St. Helena Parish, with which I bad great familiarity, I would cite the fol? lowing plantations: Est. Coffin's Point place, the old Stapleton Seashore places, Mr. John Pope's Oaks, Mr. Jos. I>. Eding'a Neck place, Dr. Riobard Faller's Cat Island, Mr. Joseph Hazel's Distant Island, Mr. Joseph J. Pope's Little Boor and the Paris Island plantation. I ' Vcr.a period . of sixty years or more, when? ever the worms came at all they invariably made their appearance first0on these places, sometimes weeks m advance pf all others, sometimes going no where else. Ihoee fami? liar with this section win nob hesitate to say. the places cited were cultivated, drained and cared for ip the most exe m pl ai y manner. Be? sides this, whatever may be the experience of others, facto ot the day, with me, are no less dama?tng te the presumption drawn from careless cultivation and bad drainage. It is notorious that cotton seriously neglect? ed last year escaped the ra vases of the worm rather than otherwise. On the Hunting Island plantation, near Bluffton, whilst Mr.-James Hey ward's cotton which was fairly worked and very promising was eaten to the rind, not a worm made its appearance hr the freedmen's patches on the same land and in the same kind of soil-the only difference being that the freedmen^ patches were half smothered ia grass. Fields on the adjoining plantation, in good order and growing "luxuriantly, were also eaten up. I can but conclude therefore against the potency of the assigned cause ia producing the worm, however much high manuring ana ditching, 4c. may have to do with reaching fair results, despite the worm, in fair seasons. Tbe omission of our accustomed manurins stands in the same citegory with the theory just dismissed, l cannu see how manur? ing can have anything to do with the pre? vention or prcducins: of thc worm, though under favorable or ordinary circumstances it may, probably *\ ill, grow the crops out of the wax of being utterly destroyed, and thus cure remunerative results even with the pr enoe of the worm. The worms came earlier in 1846, wheo i manuring system was fully practiced, and more voraciously than the; did in 1825 wi that system was not generally introduced. Nor in Comer times could any peculiar perierity be assigned to well manured cn over those which were otherwise. The wo always appears first on the best grown "rankest" cotton. They always appear fi on Edi s to and adjoining islands, then Helena Parish, then.Ht. Luke's. It was n known that the Idistonians weie the best mi urers in the State. Nor yet should we conclude from this tl the worm was produced by the manurii Tacts of to-day contravene this idea. 1 truth is, wherever the growth was fine, whe er from strong land or high fertilisation, t same thing occurred. It was the inviting fe which attracted the insect, just as good pi turee do the grazing herds. I shall no w consider the planting over of c cotton fields in cot ton continuously. Here, perhaps, is the gravamen of, the di culty, combined possibly with other circa: stances peculiar to the present times. So : as our coast is concerned, there is this str ing coincidence: That with the general a continuous planting over-grown cotton fiel for the first time pi ac ti ced, comes, for the fli time, in the culture of the plant with u?, t annual recurrence of the worm. This is a bread fact to be dealt with. No it is true that "before the war" there were p< tiona of fields planted o#r sometimes; b these were small and exceptional instanc? and not enough to weigh against any concl sion to be derived in this connection. - This planting over may be* fust such a dept ihre, although not enough m itself to csu the recurrence, yet sufficient, with new co comitants, to effect the same. Winters mil er, on the whole, than formerly, the singul exemption for the last soven yoars from fi equinoctial gales, the Cold and unpropitio springs, the late preparation of the lands these, among others, may be, and 1 thii are, the combining circumstances to which i owe the annual doming of Ibe worm. But themain cause I fird, I think, in co; tm no ns planting over of the same fie'ds in co ton. Let us see. St. Helena Parish and H ton Head, involving something like thirl thousand acres or less of open land, and plan ed over during the war without intermissioi and the worm, save perhaps the year 186 came regularly as the year rolled round wit] out fail. The result is, these islands beean* caterpillar nests 1 from which they were dil tributed upon us as soon as we returned aft? the war to tbe cultivation of the plant on cor tiguous shores. How is this sustained? I 1866, the firs', year we began in 8t. Luke's, an generally the starting of sea islands, after tb war; whilst St. Luke's, next to Hilton Hea and st. Helena Parish, was eaten out andmuc injured by the worm, the plantations of Chris Church, James' Island, and all around Charle; ton, were unhurt. So, too, was Florida. Bot of these sections made fine crops. Florid one ol' the best ever made in the State. How do we account for this ? Formerly th worm appeared m Florida weeks and weeks bo fore they did with us; we sometimes, if not ot ten, escaping altogether." Just so, too, witl Edisto and all north of us. while the woi m in variably appeared bet?re they did m St. Luke't luis was the case for more than a* half cen tory. In 1866 tho worm swarmed the fields of St Helena Parish and Hilton Head lung befon they appeared ic our ..reconstructed" field? The conclusion seems Irresistible that th( moths flew from the former fields on ours ant deposited their eggs by instinct, where thi worm, when hatched, would gtt food, or th moths sought the fresh blooms in our fields those of tho former havibg been destroyed. Be this as it may, thus began the difficulty which we, as well as the negro and Yankee ia landers, ba73 contributed to faster by planting over and over the same fields, more or less, ii cotton. Now, with this mild fringe of seacoast plr.n't ed over from year to year we have established without tho assistance of the Patent Offioe, cn "Departmem." ? ima* KMOOU roi pru^Kni JU^ the cotton worm, whicb, having been distribu? ted by careful means along the coast from Sir to year, is ready to supply the interior, m "Sleepy Hollow" to Spartan burg. They begin with us, and go up on the wing as their necessities may require and the prevailing winds admit. Now, it may be said that the same preva? lence of the worm exists in other sections ai wtll as oars-the Gulf States and others, for instance, where the same method of planting is practiced as formerly. Whilst we admit the force of the suggestio'. we reply, the worm always formerly' prevailed more frith them than with us. It may be tDat our old system of alternate fields and pastures, coupled with our going into the fields earlier in the season than we do LOW, may have given us that very comparative exemption then en? joyed, and now lost. . Again, if the Gulf sections and other upland regions peculiarly subject to worms have mide any alteration in the tim. of breaking up their lands, or in the thoroughness thereof, this may be the fatal variation with them, in com? bination with other things. L?t mo be understood. Suppose the cocoon to be present in the soil, as conclusively shown above' When we go into the field? late in the season these chrysalids or cocoons are turned out, or set free from the bads in which tbev have been packed, bet?re they otherwise would have escaped but for thiB artificial mechanical assistance, and thus being better able to weather it out than thro3gh mid winter, and feeling the zenial days of coming spring, the moth is hatched earlier than any ono has been accustomed to think. The tata! inception takes place to be more or less developed to a more or less injurious extent, according to the pre? vailing season and consequent maturity of plants, in which the months of May. June, July and AueuBt are important, but chiefly Jone. : I now more than suspect that the uplan d fleldi share the common fate, and are non not turned und?r, (aa a whole) at an early period, but are postponed to the very last momont, inst-ad or being handled early in the winter, as formerly. Now, by turning up these lands early in winter, many of tho chrysaloids would come to grief from the frost and snow like grubs and other insects, besides being ex? posed to the winter birds. So, too, when tho land was deeply and thoroughly turned, many of these insects, like the grass seed, would be buried beyond their natural level, and hope? lessly entombed; so that with the few escaping til these contingencies, unless the seasons were extraordinarily propitious to the insect, (a .ondition of things happening in periods, and not annually,) we nojld hear or see nothing of these "scare-crows " yearly. The upland system of deep and early plough? ing, asl have indicated, may have bad corres? ponding efficiency with our fallow system in giving them exemption, save in extraordinary instances cited. How was it with us? We vary not only in the time of preparation, and the manner of doini it, but also, as indicated above, io dis? carding our old fallow system. Tbe Lateness of preparation afforded our crops now in com? parison with the past is plain. We get hands Tate, go into the field late, with a half organ? ised new force, and scuffle in tho crop as best we may. "Bun" three farrows or five as we oan, and leave the balk to be dealt with after planting. If in this balk and in thc hastily joined fur lows the chrysaloids abound, theso are all set free late, when tho weather has become com? paratively mild, and the best period of "set? ting them free" is at hand. And thus it is that between the emancipa? tion, caterpillar, and the freedmen and Yan? kees, wo are deeply exercised from "dawn to dewy eve." But let us observe briefly how our fallow sys? tem worked. I think all wi tl admit its appa? rent providence in secar?a/ more or less im? munity from the worm. Our fields were divided. And^wo planted one year No. 1, and the next No. 2. When the worm appeared, therefore, we planted in turn the next year the lands which had been in pas? ture, and lands just now plantee! *ere turned into pasture, and soon grown over with sward, by no means facilitating escape of cocoons m the soil. We know that the worms carno, if at all, in periods of three, seven, and twenty-one years. Of course there wore exceptional cases and lo? calities, but with us was a pretty well defined rule depending on sixty three years' ex? perience. Now let us plant these fields and see how we come back on the same fields with worm: First year wc plant No. 1, with worm; second year No. 2, without worm; third year No, 1. with worm; fourth year No. 2, without worm; fifth year No 1, worm or escape: sixth year No. 2, no norm; seventh year No. 1, sharp worm. And so was it with a displacement or escape or so, unerringly to the seventh and twenty first years, when in tarn we reach No. 1 again. If one or two planters changed this rotation, the neighborhood retained it, and thus the same results to all were leached. Whilst this is readily admitted not to be de? cisivo, it is yet highly sag tr es tl ve, especially so now, that we have the fact established of the cocoon being sheltered in the earth. Jost here, too, let me add that nothing contributes more to the oat worm than planting the same fields over. 'So, too, do cold springs con tn bu te to the cot-worm and cotton lice. ' Let ns see bow we prepared oar fields for? merly. For here, again, we will find sngges Livo matter. We went into the fields in Feb? ruary and listed np the lands with tbs noe. Zn listing, the whole surface was chipped off clean? ly, turned over and rolled welt together into the alley. This done, the land waa "bedded" with tbe hoe, with or without the plough (in cotton,) according lo notion or capacity of an? nual force, I ho soil was chopped into deeply and healed heavily and firmly on the hst, tims reversing entirely the old "bed," and making a new alley of clean earth mach below the former surface. I leave this with (he reader for what it ia worth, aa a prevention of worm, with other ?hing? and ander ordinary circumstances. In view of the whole case, a practical and j adici?n 8* preventive suggests itself to me with great force, lt sis this: As soon as the crop is gathered plough ap the whole cotton field and contiguous fields deeply, and thoroughly turning with large two-horse plough. Let ttus be cone with spirit and unanimity tbroogh tho whole cotton region. The stalks should be burnt or thoroughly ploughed under. Const lands should be ploughed in December, and cotton planting dis? continued there on any but fallow land. I cannot see any beneficial effects likely to arise from attempts to poison the worm, or fumigating tbem, or burning the moths by kindling fires round tbe fields, and s'il thia; es Eecially after the "breaking out" of the worm, t is only necessary to behold, with calm com? mon sense, an umbrageous field of cotton, with its arms and limbs stretching out and in? terlocked ererywhere, to be convinced of the futility of all schemes of this kind. An ounce of prevention is no less valuable here than in other c sos. With reference to variations of seasons pe? culiar to the past few years, I would briefly add : Oar winters, whilst we have bad bitter snaps, are on the whole milder than formerly. A striking and important difference exists in oar entire exemption from equinoctial gale* since the fall of 1861 thc havoc tbat was made of the worm as well as crop of 1804 was known and long remembered. We find a record of this by Hr. Spaulding, of Georgia. Tbe late aprinre I deem by no means otherwise than conducive to the worm. This some? what from analogy. We all know that these cold springs almost invariably are coincident with the cat worm and "leaf and root bug" infesting the cotton. And again, the plant is kept back in growth, and by that in bearing blooms and reaching that maturity incident to' m sro genial weather.' Hence, whoo the worm first comes (before it is Been, perhaps,) the plant is lust beginning to grow, and the sec? ond or third brood (called by ns the first, be? cause the first actually seen,) finds the cotton, instead of having rip? and tough leaves, jost in the condition to feed the young worm into destructive swarms, according teethe charac er of tho w allier prevailing at the time. I have now carefully gone over tbe ground. I am far from thinking that the sea island crop will not yet suffer this sotson sharp in? jury from the worm. We are net yet oat of the woods, and it is not well to bo toa mnoh elated by their present inertness. Thia is very delusive, for they can can break out in a twink? ling and eat tho fields bare. Yet despite this I expect remunerative crops: simply on the ground that the injury suffered from the worm alone has always been greatly exaggerated. This I propose to show in aootfler article from facts, and at the same time to form some rea? sonable estimation of loss likely to a xi na hereafter to cor crops. Ia conclusion, 1 beg to say,, if any of my fel? low-planters detect ms in error I will be glad to be corrected, and as I will be enlightened I will be by tnat much obliged and grateful, as my purpose is to elicit truth and not to work in vain. I I make no apology for the length of my arti? cle, as it touches a subject too truly finked with the re ?tor? ti ou of tho South to be a mat? ter of indifference te yourself or tbe roadcre of TBS CHARLESTON NBWS. I am, very trulr. JOHN W. B. POPE. PERSONAL GOSSIP. -Jenny Lind bas become quite poor.

We would, of course, prefer that our own commercial city should get tho trade which ibu road may bring to any of the great marts, but if she, by he.' inaction, or her wedding herself to the one idea of the Blue Bidge, suf? fers it to go elsewhere, we can onlv do as she has done towards thia section of country_ look on, and wonder, and wish some good thing may turn up for her without any effort on our part to bring it about. Charleston ought to have become the purchaser of the stock that wai sold, inst iad of Mr. Bridgen, and then she would bare bed the same power to "control the road" tb it is now attributed to Baltimore. The sale ef this stock wilt place the board in funds to go ou with their work; and that was the great object they had in view. This county wants the road for its own. benefit, and if it? benefits Charleston also, so much the better; but if she chooses to stand off and let it build itself, the benefits, if any, will 'go Just where they ure invited. Hitherto, every effort made here to build up this part of tbe State has met with opposition from the seaboard in some form or other; snd now when there ls hope of assistance from any quarter, we ought not to be reproached for accepting it. As to whether there is such a thing as the "Baltimore ring," or bow it is connected with this matter, we do not know. We only want to hear "the nng of the true metal." TEE FISK ur BICHKOKD Vmsarru on Tues? day morning, already briefly reported by tele? graph, was the largest that bas taken place in that city since the evacuation. It occurred in the square bounded by Main, Fourteenth, Cary, and Fifteenth-streets. The houses that bave boen burned were Well's planing-mill, Johnson, Harwood & Estes' office and lumber yard, Cardwell's agricultural implement house, Boyle and Gamble's saw1 factory, Oersdorf 's file works. Massie & Harvie's (groceries and liquors,) Board A Hirsh (groceries,) office of the Virginia Bono Company, John Enders' unoccupied house, and several others partially. Thc lose is estimated at $250.000, round num? bers. The insurance is heavy-about $80,000 of it being divided between the Nertb*Brinsh Com Sanv or London, Petersburg Insurance and avings Company, and United States Insur? ance Company of Baltimore. Masiie & Har? vie's ttock was insured for $6000 In the Vir? ginia Fire and Marine Insurance Company, and other portions of the property for $1800 in the New Haven Home. There was also an insur? ance of about $16.000 on the lumber. -It is supposed that of tbe currency issued since 1862, eight millions of dollars have been lost, burnt or otherwise destroyed. Thus this amount of the liabilities ot the government bas been cancelled, anyhow. R ?- A CARD-SOUTHERN LIFE INSUR? ANCE COUPANT, ATLANTA DEPARTMENT. To fae Ptoplt of South Carolina: The above Company was organ zed In ISM, in consequence of the wholesale forfeiture of Southern policies by Northern com paolo?. The unparalleled ?neceas of th? enterprise has forcod several of these companies to restore their Soatbern policies, from ibe fact that they could not operate in onr midst without the appearance of honesty. We keep all onr money at home to build up our Impoverished country-every dollar of premium being safely invested in the ?t?ia from which it ls de. rived. The institution is purely Southern; ?id hence shou'd appeal with great force to the patriotism ann? and sympathy of every Southern heart. 'Tis not our purpose to make war on other com? panies, but to exhibit the special advantages offered by this purely Southern Company-founded on patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio of assets'to uahjlities-the true test of a company's strength-la second to none on this continent, being nearly S300 to $100. Whenever and wherever we have presented the claims of this Company, it bas not only enlisted the sympathies of our people, but has also secured their bi arty co-operation. We have secured COO policies in South Carolina since the 10th of February. We number among our Directsrs General Wade Hamp- | ton and colonel Wm.
