An esteemed correspondent writes fr on
Camden under date of September 4:b :
The earnest devotion bf your paper to tb?
best interests of the people of the State, affords
the highest gratification to your readers here.
Practical, rather than sastbetic philosophy,
most shape our councils, while both pobticaJ
and Jsocial reconstruction will result more
promptly and securely from miterial advance?
ment than from political success, however de?
sirable they may be.
?ou are there fore engaged ia a great work in
urging onward every step in material advance?
ment, sad I heartily bid you "God speed."
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.

-' George the Count Johannes" - George
Jones, of legitimate drama fame-has come to
the rescue of the good namo of Lord Byron
and his sister, Mrs. Leigh. It puts a new taco
on the affair and looks plausible. It appears
that both Lord Byron and Mrs. Leigh were
aware of the charge made by Lady Byron -
that thoy confronted and confounded it at the
time-and that Lady Byron confessed her mis?
take, and, by way ff atonement, promised to
name her unborn child-if a girl-after Mrs
Leigh. The Count affirms that be bad this
statement from Mrs. Leigh herself, and Sor
firmation of it from Lord Harrington, who
spoke on the authority of Lord Byron. It is
*now charitably inferred that Lady Byron, na'?
orally jealous, becoming ascetic and morbid,
permitted this idea to gain bold on ber mind,
and tbat she really believed it, and communi?
cated :t to Mrs. Stowe.

THE SALE OE THE CHERAW Alf J)
DARLINGfOH RAILROAD STOCK.
I From th? Chesterfield Democrat. ]
But suppose Charleston has lost some ad van?
tage bj this sale, which, otherwise, wonld have
accrued to her, who is to blame? What has
she done to eec ore the benefits which ii is-said
Baltimore is about to reap? Why doas she
not occupy the vantage ground whieb her
more enterprising sister is supposed to have
taken f
Ber press bas called the attention of her cap?
italists, the citizens and the corporation to-the
great advantages of this- road, and earnestly
presented the strong reasons for ita construc?
tion. Some of her leading citisens have at?
tended meetings of tbe friends of the toad to
advance its interests, and beoome acquainted
with the obstacles and the encouragements to
its suscess. Everything bas bscs done that
could be done to enlist her in the enterprise.
She lias, through her representative men, sig?
nified in words her perfect willingness to re?
ceive whatever advantages any one could imag?
ine might be forced upon ber by the success
of the enterprise. Her lap is spread wide to
catch every drop of benefit that might fall in
that neighborhood; but, then, she has not put
her hand to her purse to "contribute" of her
means, nor her shoulder to tbs wheel to push
the work along since the war.
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.

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. Johnston:"gentlemen well
known to every citizen of South Carollaa. 'We ap?
