The Cotton Woru .—We laarn by a
friend just from Grosse Tete and Marin
gouin, that the army worms made their
appearance on the plantations in those re
gions on Thursday night last, and on Fri
day morning, the effects of this their sec
ond advent over there, were made mani
fest in the destruction of hundreds of acres
of cotton. The younger plant, is in a fair
•way of being totally destroyed.
Killed.—A man by the name of Rey
nolds , notorious throughout the back
country, for his numerous crimes, was kill
ed, we learn, a few days since, in Livings

shot off. He was, we believe a resident of
said parish, and wan a terrer to the neigh

it is understood to be contemplated by the
President to withdraw shortly the troops
from the South, leaving States lately in the
rebellion to re-organize on a basis of civil
government precisely as before the lato
war, excepting slavcj-y.
Hardly a soldier will be left except such
as are nocessary to garrison forts, and such

emergencies arising from the action of

j-îf A Now York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Frets says the Imperialists in
Mexico, have fojeed the army of the Re
publicans from the Rio Grande, and are
now occupying the whole country with the
exception of Chihuahua, in which Juarez
and his government were attempting to
make a last stand. The retreat of the
Mexicans is represented as having been
Tather a panic.
The information is obtained from a
Mexican gentleman of high character, and
from a vessel recently arrived from Guaya
nas, a seaport town of Sonora.

which cannot be manufactured outside of
the Treasury Department. A peculiarity
of the paper is, that it can be washed.

Abtkmos Ward on Reoboanjzation.—
Artemu» Ward, in a recent letter, thus
gives an idea of reorganization :
1 have never attempted to reorganize
my wife but once. I shall never attempt
it again. I'd tyn to a. public dinner, and
had allowed myself into drinkin' several
people's health; and wishing to make 'em
as robust as possible I continued drinkin'
their health until my own became affected.
The consekens was'l presented myself at
Betsy's'bedside, late at night, with con
aiderable liquor concealed about my per
son. I had somehow got posseshun of a
hosswhip on my way home. Rcmember
rin' some cranky observashuns of Mrs.
Ward'» in the morning, I snapt the whip
putty lively, and in h loud voice said,
'•Betsy you need rcorganizin'. I have
come, Betsy," I continued—crankin' the
whip o'er the bed—"I have come to reor
ganize you."
That nite I dreamed that somebody had
laid a liosswhip over mesev'rii times; and
when I woke up 1 found she had. 1 haint
drunk much of anything since, and if I
ever have any reorganizin' job on hand,
I'll lot it out."
A Nice Idea,—A London lady, corres
ponding with her country cousins through
the medium of the prose, mentions a novel,
beautiful, and withal inexpensive, orna
ment for the dinner table. She says :
•Talking of dinners, lot me toll you of a
new idea. I was present at a very recherche
entertainment, the other day, where I saw
the following arrangement« for the centre
of the table: There was a large square
block of Wendham Lake ice, weighing, I
should say, at ioast twenty-five pounds,
•which was placed on glass casters, iu a dish
or trough of some kind; the dish was ren
dered quite invisible by being entirely filled
with moss, into which soaked the water
which molted from the ice. Delicate ferns
t'iinged the edge, and bright colored flow
ers wore imbedded in the moss, the foliage
reaching above the lower edge of the ice.
The object of raising the blocK on casters
is to prevent the water from accelerating
the melting of tho mass. Over the icobcrg
there wcro two arches, prettily arranged,
crossing each other; they were, apparently,
of cane, and were bonud by garlands of
ilowora. The effect wo*enchanting. The
atmosphere was delightfully coolcd; the
(lowers wore kept fresh; and the sight of
the trunsluceut mass was far prettier than
the most costly center pieces of gold or sil
ver plato. I bolieve Ï am right in stating
that this novel idea first mado 5 te appear
ances at Orleans House, Twickecham. It
eau be so readily adopted, that I fait you
would be glad of the suggestion."
The labor System of the South.
The prime obstacle to a successful return
of the Southern Statos to anything like a
condition of general or permanent pros
perity, in, without question, a well defined
and well regulated system of agricultural
labor. Thechief difficulty seems to bo how
to reconcile industrial regulations and re
quirements with the " largest liberty" to
labor or not, as suits the ideas or inclina
tions of the laborer. In all well regulated
systems, where usage is law, and salutary
legal enactments interpose to protect em
ployer and employee alike, certain rales of"
labor are prescribed under certain remu
nerative considerations, which cannot be
violated with impunity.
A system founded on mutuai safeguards
like these insures a given quantum of labor
within specified hours to the employer, and
a fixed rate of compensation to the em
ployee, and incase of default in the fulfill
ment of either of these obligations, the
party suffering, can have due,and compul
sory recourse before the proper tribunals
The earliest practicable organization of
such a system is what is most earnestly
demanded in tho South at this time. Aside
from local circumstances and necessities
that plead with trumpet-tongue fora re
formation in our present labor system, the
subject is so wide-spread and important in
its national bearings, as to entitle it to
something more than the mere spasmodic
experiments of inexperienced theorists act
ing under authority from the General Gov
ern nient.
The ruinous consequences to the agricul
tural interests of the South which must
inevitably and perpetually follow an im
practicable labor system, teil with corre
sponding affcct upon the financial resources
of the nation. 1'roperiy cticouragnd and
supported, the South, might become as
formerly a most powerful contributor to
the national exchequer, and its entire
population—white and black—by re- estab
lishing its industrial pursuits on a basis
mutually advantageous and secure, might
do more to facilitate the work of civil re
organization than anything else that could
be conceived. As well uudertake to har
monie» order with chaos as attempt to
bring about a perfect settlement and pa
cification of the body politic under the ex
isting disjointed condition of our labor sys
tem. The good order and well being of
ommunitios and individuals ma essen
tially dependent on firmly established and
faithfully executed laws and rules for the
governance of th« laboring classes ami
their employers. Incertain localities, wi
re happy to perceive that the light of ex
perienco is prompting to wholesome efforts
n this direction, and achieving partial
good, which, it is to be hoped, may becotno
universal.
The Clarksville ! Tenn. ) Chronicle pub
lishes tho following, as embracing a set of
rules and regulations adopted by Col. Da
VI», who has charge of the Frcodmen's Bu
reau at that point. The features presented
iu Col. Davis ' policy aro perhaps tho most
sensible and feasible of any which have
yet emanated from any of the bureaus;

common arbiter to whom the difficulty
shall be referred.
SOUTHERN CROPS.
[ Crom the New Orleans True Delta, 13th inst.]
The regular appearance of the army
worm, and the destruction to tho cotton
crop caused thereby, has induced many of
our cotemporaries to discuss the question
whether a partial abandonment of the cul
tivation ot cotton by our planters would
not bo decidedly advantageous and profit
able, provided the same labor, skill and
attention were bestowed upon the growing
of other crops.
That a diversification of labor would be
attended with beneficial results wo have
always believed. The policy of throwing
nearly the whole operative force of the
South upon the cultivation of two or three
leading staples, we have never looked n pon
as correct. Our labor should always have
been self-auBtainiug—we should have pro
duced nearly everything we required for
the support of' our plantations—but instead
of that the system has been to cultivate
sugar or cotton, as the case might be, and
purchase everything needful in the open
markets. This pian lias led to innumera
ble bankruptcies, much suffering, and lias
had an impoverishing effect upon the
States of the South generally.
But "cotton on tho brain" has been »
disease of long standing iu the Southern
portion of tho American Union. It is
raging new with greater intensity than
ever. Every one who owns a piece of land,
a plow, mule and hoe, "has got it bad."
The idea of raising corn, wheat, pork and
other indispensables, which could be easily
done without materially lessening their
crops of tho staple, never enters their
minds—everything is merged in cotton,
cotton, cotton. We opine, however, if the
army worm continues its ravages much
longer, that an effectual cure of the malig
nant disease referred to will be effected.
The Southern States should produce an
abundance of breadstuff's, not only for their
own use, but for export. In all the Gulf
States rice, in ample quantities, can be
grown. We should pay particular atten
In
tion to tho raising of cattle and hogs.
stead of buying a pound of bacon,
lard or cured beef, wo should become large
sellers instead of purchasers. No people
on earth have equal facilities in these par
ticulars. The bost tobacco known to the
markets of the world is grown, cured and
manufactured in Louisiana.
This product could be increased fifty or
a hundred fold in this State within a brief
peiiod, and it would yield more profitable
returns to those engagod in it than either
sugar or cotton. On this point the Frank
lin (St. Mary) Planters' Banner, ruakes the
following suggestions, which we take
pleasure in subjoining : "Take eight of the
i'OBt, acres of land and plant it in tobacco.
From the eight acres six thousand pounds
of tobacco can be made by saving the last
crop, moat of it good tobacco. If necessary,
employ some one accustomed to work in
tobacco to help save the crop. Then em
ploy some one who can make carrotes and
cigars to teach all four of tbe employes to
work up tho crop in good shape. All can
then become cigar makors and carrote
makers. Those eight acres ordiuarily may
be worked up and sold for five thousand
dollars. The party might divide out $1000
apiece for their year's work. In July, Au
gust and September they would havo but
iit'tle or nothing to do with tho crop. The
tobacco or<>p is harvested early in July.
I!y all means, let us diversify otir labor,
and become a self-supporting, self-sus
taining !>eople. We may not make as
much of the great staples as formerly, but
they will bring larger prices, which will
be a sufficient remuneration; aud if they
should happen to be cut short by some ac
cident or other, to which they are pecu
liarly liable, the other crops will support
our farms and people, and enable them to
live independently. It appears to us that
this course "is dictated alise by sound
policy and genuine wisdom.
£SF The Imperial Mexican Railway has
been opened lrom Vera Cruz to the Pass of
Macho. A special train isdispatched from
Vera Cruz on each arrival of a steam pack
et from Europe. It is to be continued to
the city of Mexico, three hundred miles in
all. The following are the Government
stipulations with tho company:
1. Tho exclusive privelege in perpetuity
of the main iiue from Vera Crn~ to Mexico,
with a branch to Peubla.
2. The exclusive right of constructing
any branch lines desired within sixty
miles from the main line.
3. A State subvention of $6,000,000 in
bonds charged on an additional 20 per cent,
over and above the ordinaiy customs dues
of the ports, which has been legally ap
propriated.
4. State subscription for shares to the
amount of 15 per cent, of the ordinary cus
toms receipt» for five years estimated to
produce £800,000 secured on the said cus
tom dues.
5. Immunity from all rates and laxes
during fifty years.
«. Importation free of duty of all mate
rial. machinery and coals, both for the
construction of the railway and for its use
for thirty years.
7. Exportation duty free, of specie to the
same amount of value.
8. Free grant of all Government lands,
required for the line, and of ail mineral
properties discovered in the construction.
9. Tho privilege accorded to the compa
ny to fix its own tariffs on charges and
rates, both for goods and passengers, with
out any limitation.
The remainder of the works, it should be
added , are being conducted under the su
perintendence of Mr, James Samuel, of
Great George street, London and Mr. Tal
cott, of the United States, the latter re
maining in Mexico to personally superin
tend the details. '
More About tub National Debt .—The
Washington correspondent of the Cincin- !
nati Gazette , writing on the 4th inst., says :
In addition to the synopsis of the
monthly statement of the public debt,
given on Saturday night, the following
facts will still further serve to illustrate
the exceedingly favorable condition of the
national finances. The increase of the net
debt for the months of Juno aud July, as
shown in the last statement, was in round
numbers one hundred aud twonty-two
millions, or an average of two millions per
dsy, but for tho month of August the
whole increase of our indebtedness has
been only four hundred and thirty-six
thousand dollars, or an average of fourteen
thonsaud dollars per day. In other words,
a mouth ago wc wor# running in debt at
the rate of two millions a day, and now at I
the rate of only one sixth of a million per
day. It if likewise noteworthy that while
the délit has been increased during tha
last month a little less than half n million, |
the interest on the debt now outstanding
has been diminished a milliou and a quar- j
ter. This result has been accomplished by ,
the redemption in legal tenders of over |
twenty-one and a halt millions of six per i
cent, ccrtificateg of indebtedness.
ES^'idy dear sir, you have used half of
our case of Champagne." "Oh, yes; you
are my friend and I always Uke your part.'»
Toast« to the Press .—The Cincinnati
Otmmercial has the following sensible and
judicious remarks :
It may us well bo said that the custom
of "toasting the press," and calling out
some of" its represontativos present to re
spond, is a nuisance—a bore of the largest
calibre. Not one professional journalist
in a hundred is "gifted with gab." His
process of thoughts are entirely different
from those of the orator or off-hand
speaker. He is accustomed to select words
with a view to express in the least space
the greatest number of ideas, and thiB be
comes a mental habit from which ho can
not easily free himself. It is fatal to off
hand speaking. Ask him to write a
speech, «nd lie would have no difficulty,
lie would succeed where the "natural
orator" would bo likely to fail. Wnat we
mean to say is, that the custom of "toast
ing tho press," and it is usual to postpone
it till half the guests are surcharged with
oratory and the other half with cham
pagne, is one of tho civilities which the
journalist, while he-knows it is well meant,
leols to be a bore. If free tickets are to be
thrust upon the press, to all sorts of gath
erings, let the attentions to its representa
tives be confined to a favorable position at
the table, with all tho facilitios that can be
furnished him for reporting the proceed
ings, and no more. Better than this it
would be to permit him to purchase his
own pasteboard, like other people, and re
port or not, as he prefers. There would be
loss names in print, and less windy ora
tory published, and the world would be
the better for it.
Strange Performance .—At New York,
lately, William Sheffield accomplished the
following strange succession of feats in less
than half an hour:
He walked half a mile, trundled a wheel
half a mile, walked backwards half a mile,
picked up twenty stones, one yard apart,
and brought each back to the starting
point; ran half a mile, hopped forty yards,
leaped ten hurdles, picked up fifteen eggs,
separately, with his mouth, and throw four
fifty pound weights.
lie went through the performance with
tho greatest ease, and accomplished it in
69 minutes and 52 seconds.
