Hot in Cotton.
Clarmont .fgricuLvral Society.
The following extracts, arc taken from a
communication made by Dr. Ilracey to
tbe Hon. W. I) James, Chairman of
the Committee on Rot in Colton.
"On a spot of luxuriant cotton, which
i had observed to rot rather worse than
the rest «f the field, I was induced to try
various experiments, such as taking away
the bed, twisting the brandies, wounding
he stalk, breaking the limbs, Ac 1
found when vegetation was uniformly
checked, and the wound pod, either heat
* ed up, or spread no farther. Iliad murk,
ed several ppds, by binding a thread a
round them, to observe minutely, the
changes, in the various stages of rot, as
well us the effects, of lessening the cir
culation of the juices. The rot become,
manifest, first, byaspot of deeper green,
about one twelfth of an inch in diameters
which ultimately mortifies, and destroys
the whole, or a great part of the pod. 1
found tbc rot to vary jh its destructive
tendency, depending on the state ol lex
urnnee, its situation, ami the weather; as
in wet weatliei plant, was tender, and
abounded with redundant juices, conse
quently more enndy punctured, and more
dis|rosod to mortification. In dry weather
the exterior of he pod is tough, and very
little of the fluid of the plant in Circula
tion. These circumstances combined
evince the great difference, which may
have been remarked by every pknter; in
the progress, and cessation, so often ma
nifested, during the season of rot. In
attentively watching the changes which
resulted from my experiments, in tbe
modes of interruption of vegetation, the
least likely to injure the plant, and at
the same time arrest the progress ofror.
—I observed on one of the marked pods
u Small Jmeet , busily engaged punctur
ing it, in which it succeeded, it remain
ed with its proboscis in the pod about two
minutes, apparently extracting the juices,
increasing during that lime greatly in
size, trom the quantity of fluid taiccn in,
1 said taken in, 1 suppose, as nourish
ment; it then withdrew its proboscis,
laying it up along the breast, quickly hid
ing itself among the leaves ot the plan .
As 1 oad long discarded the belief that
> the rot whs owing to an Insect, said here
tofore to depredate the fields in the night;
1 was about to turn my attention to some
- thing else, and think no more of it, when
shortly after 1 saw another emerge from
, its hiding place on an adjoining plant, an-1
with great readiness readied a pod which
it soon penetrated and remained nearly
the same length of time the first did, ami
retired in a similar manner. My atten
tion was now awakened, and I began dili
gently to search for tin m by close exami
nation. 1 left this spi>t and went to a
part of tlic field where no impress! <b bad
been made on vegetation, and quiet, (us
if seems to he particularly necessary to be
still some time before they move about) I
observed on one pod, two oflhese Insects,
both having entered their proboscis he
forejl bscovered the maud were extracting
the juice from the pods. As soon «s they
retired, ( tied a thread around the po.
and exam.ucd it attentively, but observed,
• no change isyetj 1 soon had another and
a thud opportunity of marking pods
> which 1 saw the Insects puncture. About
two hours after I visited the pods again,
and observed the pet forat ions had chang
ed to a deep green, exactly on the pa.-.
« of the pod I bad ween the Ins cts bore—
Tue day alter I visited them again, ami
discovered two out ol the fourlvadtun eci
dark and beginning to enlarge, the t>-
theta seemed less and btaling. I snppost
I had by this time seen about fifteen It.
s- cts in all I caught two or three, carn
• c J them home and the day after, having
kept them about fifteen hours withou
food, I placed them under a tumbler wit:
! a fresh pod of Colton, and it was rem
kable lose, the quicki ossthey manifes
rdm piercing it No injurious ordestru
live change takes place in punctured pyu
which been d inched from the plant, ct
where vegetation is oven properly check
ed. In my succeeding visits to the pods
marked in the Held, must of them twe.i
exactly as I had observed the rot to pro
gn» before I knew anything of the In
sects: some of them healed up us 1 have
remarked many do which I dk; not se
punctured both before and since the disco
very of the Insects. I therefore discard
the ■ei-roneous doctrine of the disease ex
isting -in the plant i'self, finding that J l«u!
mistaken effect for cause, and had bcie-
More been obligeu to reconcile disease.;
' :'iauta looking vigorous, producing bnb
■ Ihv rwvU and sound CoUuu, and many o
ther contradictory circumstances, which
. have ali become consistent and natural so
a6un os the Insects were discovered.
it is a well known fact, that every plant
has some Insect, which feeds, almost ex
clusively on it. Cotton affords many In
sects nourishment, as the Cut-Worm
* various Caterpillars, and two branches of
the family of the flemoptera tribe, class
‘ Cimex one ,*tuul large, resembling the
Blood >ucker, and nearly at large as the
9 Artichoke Bug, ot these there are very
,e few in number, but their puncture which
•s generally about tbe foot stalk, is very
*• destructive. Tbe other is very small, and
numerous, and would scarcely attract uo-
Jct , from its harmless appearance, but in
>ruih is the great and formidable enem
to Us# depUticttoa of our Cotum t?ops.
,Tt&rtft*litnsej*, «Uketaftm«l(9c
pod «f Colton, •which resembles exactly '
, the puncture made with a smalt needle,
r yet ti-ie puncture made with a needle ne- i
ver deranges the contents of the pod, he ‘
cmiie ft tnkes out notbjbg ; but a pletho
ric Bta:a of the plant, which ia a predis
posing and not a primary cause, (as is al
leged by some,) becomes instrumental in <
. its destructive tendency only when a.
portion of the fluid of the pod has been'
; taken out, though ever so small in quan
tity. This fact I proved among many o
tlicr experiments, in the following man
ner : I constructed an instrument with an
; extremely smidl and delicate end, which
I introduced in a puncture first m.ule w ilb
t, a needle, and drew out by the *fetk«n of a
piston, a snail portion of the fluid of the
; pod—rot unifoimly followed every in
oianci in which I used this ii strument on
a plant in a stale of repletion : yel it ne
t vcr occurred from a puncture made with
a needle alone. Therefore it seems that
. the nutriment extracted by the Insect, de
ranges the circulation of the fluid in tin:
pod, and mortification ensues by such an
’ abundant supply from the plant, restoring
the loss dial the powers of the pod arc
unable to assimilate it
Katlicrmore thaifhaif the punctured pods
sot. in wet wt atlicr or on moist situations,
but in dry wcatlwjr when the plant does
not abound ia jnites, not more than one
in twenty is destibyed; the rest sustaining
very little Injury.' Tills Insect seems to
i extract nourishment from no other sub
i dance, as I have kept them until they
were nearly starved, and could nevtryet
get them to puncture any other substance
than pods of cotton, though they were
repeatedly offered many kinds of fruit and
vegetables.
It may perhaps be asked, why the
green seed cotton should rut, and the
black seed when fresh from tlie Islands b
exempt from it? I cau only recommend
to such ns find a uiflicully on that Inal,
to taste a pod of each, and the evidence
will be suclt as requires no great powers
of epicureanism, either in man or insect,
to select the sweet agrecaole taste of the
one, from the disagreeable bitter of the
other-
Na'.uraiists assert that, immense num
bers of various Insects, perish every year
in the midst of vegetation, merely be
cause they are tillable to find the exact
food to suit their taste; —itiuon this
ground that Louisiana has been fre’d
front the rot; as coon as the planters
ceased getting supplies of green seed
from abroad, and their own stock of seed
become changed to black need, (as it soon
does], by successive planting, and the in
fluence of climate and soil, the Insects
perished for want of their proper food,
consequently the rot ceased.
The egga of tho Insect are deposited
on different parts of the plant in October;
wo bed in the undecaycd leaves and parts
of the stalk in spring, consequently we
literally plant the insect in the egg stale;
which becomes a worm, by the infl lencc
of the summer’s sun, these worms, in due
time become these Insects, having their
proper food within their reach; these
changes take place, in t lie latter part of
July and the beginning of August. At
hist tiicy are very small and green, and
would at the time attract no notice, on ac
count of their harmless appearance, they
are at this age to be seen in very great
numbers, and, notwithstanding their appa
rent insignificance, \vc begin to see punc
tures and rot; soon they change to abiick
dust colour, beieg at this age muon less
than the Lady Bug, of an oval form, flat,
without wings, six legs, runs very last,
with a pair ol horns or feelers, and car
l ies its proboscis, drawn close under, h
long the chest; they remain but a few
days in this state, before the body Jlengtli
cm, and they acquire wings having at
tained, when fully matured, the size, a 1
something of the appearance of tin Fu
fly possessing f'rcit activity and vigd
anofl; tltc.y fly off at the approach of an .
thing, an I are not now to he s- en in sue"
numbers, but are rattier difficult to find at
this «g*. They feed yery of’eti in tli
course off th day, which accounts for the
great destnitio. i ol Cotton fio'ii this here
tofore invisible enemy. They einigrat,
Kuslwardlv at the rme of from ten to
> wenty miles annually, and appear m that
■ espcct alone analogous to the liessr.n
Fly.
I cannot omit this opportunity of sug
gesting a few hints on the important point
of prevention and remedies. I jhave of
ten heard that the burning ->f brimstone
' in cotton fields, has entirely slopped anJ,
prevented further losses from rot; as yet,
1 have had no experience on the subject
but from the well known pernicious es
(betaof brimstone on inserts, lam strong,
ly disposed to credit it; but the advanta
ges in i*s application would be just after
the insect* had changed from the worm,
until their maturation, as at this period
■ bey are without, wings, and could not
rscape-—-Checking the growth of the
plant by taking away the bed of earth a
bout it, either with hoes or ploughs,
• vistingthe stalk of the plant, Sic is an
excellent remedy-the pod by being dc-
Drived of the redundant juices, sustains
.Rile or injury from the puncture.
I think however, that the.burning of
-he id decayed leaves and stalks would
he as much more effectual remedy; origii •
by they were burned, and I question it
hat plait was still pursued generally, but
the rot would be greatly lessened if not
-mircly prevented, as it would be most
favorable time to destroy their eggs.

i “He did say that serious objections ex

whai lie hail no opportunity of bis own

Such, we are wdl assured, is tlie sub

QJ* A little after dark, on
Thursday evening, some person or per
sons followed the Book Keeper of the
Bank es Augusta, into the passage of the
House,and while that officer was engaged
fop a short time in thi back apartment,
they contrived to gain admission into the
front room, probably with the expectation
of obtaining something valuable; but dis
appointed in this, (as no money is ever left
out of the vault after business hours,) and
finding nothing else, they took from the
counter, several books, and ran off' with
them—3 have oeen picked up, uninjured,
and one mutilated.—Of those still missing,
one-only is of any importance, and that is
about a 3 quire bound book, with red cor
ners. A liberal reward will be given at
the Bank, to any person who restores the
last mentioned volume, or the part torn
from that which was mutilated. Addi
tional compensation will be made for iu
telfigence leading to a discovery of the
perpetrator* of tis wanton act. By order
of the Board

an honest man, and has not even prove®

Let us look back for a little, and con®
aider how much this navigation act hasafß
fteted the Lumber business of Georgia.—®
Some months ago, the Chatham Steam Saw|
Mill was sold for one-fourth of its originai*
cost j another on Union Ferry Wharf, n%
Savannah, fortunately, (for Us owner) wal
burnt to the ground ; and those at Darien
we believe -do little more than pa;
their espouses.—^There was another, situ
at-d about 25 miles from Savannah, whicli $
belonged to a friend of ours, and of it \n|.
cun speak positively. It was in operatic
about 18 months} and working four sin
gle Saws, it rut up, one day with am
her, about 10,000 feet of joist and scant •
ling, or 8000 feet of assorted lumber, t
6000 feet of inch boards. During tua
period 1 800,090 were delivered to til
Factors in Sa l annah ; snd duriug the sami
time the price fell gradually from
to g7, and when the establishment w»
broken up, lumber was so dull that it v>
difficult even to sell it on a credit —Ti:
water-mills too, hove made nothing ; an
ihose that live by getting out rangic
timber and sawing by hand, are couplet;
ly “ o’, the lift.” The regular task allows
to two workmen la a saw-pit is f,om 10
to 120 feet a day ; and the common calcti,
lation is, that no person, whether by ma-j
chinery or by hand, can alTord tosawlu®j
her for less than g 12 30 per M.
Now, to our apprehension, these sl.r
owners resemble the dog, who crossing:
