Insect Physiology— The 801 l Worm. Mr. Editor :— I have concluded to write you an article or two on the insects which are injuri ous to the Agriculturist of the South. I will begin with what is vulgarly called the “ boll worm,” a caterpillar, which, for the regularity of its visits and length of time it remains, we may consider as fixed upon us. This is decidedly the most destructive insect that feeds upon the cotton plant in this climate. Insects of some sort prey upon almost every species of the veg etable kingdom, and we must learn the habits and natural history of insects, if we wish to dis cover the most etfectual remedies to prevent their depredations. This insect is an anomaly in the natural history of insects, for it is much more destructive to the plant, cotton, (gossy pium,) for which it was never made, than to the one to which it naturally belongs, corn ( zea mays.) If I am right in my supposition, this insect is the caterpillar we find in the end of ears of corn, eating the silk, and some little of the corn. This insect is at the North as well as at the South—in fact, it is wherever the corn grows, and will never depredate upon the cotton plant, unless through necessity. The moth of this caterpillar belongs to the order lepidoptera. The character of this order is, (according to the system of Dr. Leach) —wings four, covered with scales, tongue spiral, filiform. Linne divided this order into three generations, papileo, (butter fly,) sphinx, (hawk-moth,) and phalaena, (moth,) which were characterized by the form of their antennae. Genus Phalaena, antenaee moniliform, shorter than thorax, palpi very small and very hairy. Wings elliptic, equal, long. To this genus belongs the group agrotididae, the larvae of which lies concealed in the ground and feed by night, (as the cut worm;) and the group, Mamestradae, the larvae of which lives exposed and transform in the ground, as the cabbage caterpillar. The insect I will call Phalaena Zea, (corn moth) until it is more correctly classed, ■belongs, perhaps, to the latter group. The P. Zea or corn moth, is of a pale yellow or a shining ash color—length of body and wings,one and one-eighth of an inch, the wings expand two inches horizontal, the upper wings covering the lower; below the centre and near the border of the upper wings are two dark spots; there are some two or three indis tinct ones on each upper wing, end of the wing whiteish, a wavy dark band near the bor der. Thorax slightly convex, dawny, abdomen color of wings dawny, proboscis folded spirally underneath, double, half inch long, eyes large, clear, yellowish green. Legs six, antannae, fusi form, palpi very hairy, flics only late in the even ing, and at night, lies concealed in the day in jams of the fence, around stumps, and in the grass and weeds, flies rapid and low 7 . The maize, Phalaena, pairs with its mate as soon as found, (some insects of this order have a remarkable instinct that way ;) the moth lays about seven hundred and fifty eggs on the fourth day, about the size of cabbage seed, of light cream color, and dies in three or four days after wards. The moth sucks the nectar from the bloom, or rather between the calix and petals. In confinement they will suck water sweetened with sugar. The eggs of the first brood are laid on the silks of corn; if no silks, on the top of the corn, you may very often find them in the northern corn we plant for early roasting ears. The ova or egg will hatch in two or three days, the larvie feeds upon the silk and the grains of the corn, remains in the ear for four teen days, comes out and goes into the earth about three inches, and is transformed into a chrysalis of bright, shining mahogany color, conical in shape, seven-eighths to one inch in length ; it remains in the ground from fourteen to sixteen days, when its second transformation takes place and it comes out the moth I have above described. The second brood comes out from the 15th of July to 10th of August; it now finds but little corn to go to (at least in this section of country,) and necessity compels it to deposit their eggs on the cotton plant. Their eggs are laid on the top bud, and the bud of the end of the limbs; sometimes, when very numerous and late in the season, on the leaves promiscu ously. If, at the time of this deposit, the weath eT is dry and the sun very hot, the ova or egg becomes abortive. llelice the phrase, “no worms of a dry year.” However, during the hottest and dryest sea son enough will escape to do some damage. Thousands of the eggs and young larvae are destroyed by ants, and the ichneumoniadae. The larvae spins around it a thin web when first hatched, for protection from the ants and other enemies, and will swing itself by a thread if it fall from your hand when first hatched, say five or six days old—sheds its skin until eight or ten days old—it descends from the tops of the cot ton and the ends of the limbs in two or three days after being hatched out, begins its depre dations on the forms by eating through the calyx in the petal, (so small is the place that you can hardly discern it,) which makes the bracts or floral leaf turn yellow, and the form falls off; the larvae does not wait for this, but is off to another and to another, until it destroys four or five, when it comes to a boll into which it goes and lies concealed, if enough to feedon until the usual time of its cater pillar is sometimes killed by hot sun while eating into a boll. If we have a short season, we will, perhaps, have but two broods. This is the case in Ten nessee, and sometimes in North Alabama. The year 1848 I made a good crop of cotton, but it was made after the disappearance of the cater pillar. I cannot account for their disappearance, for the season was favorable; they may have been destroyed by some of the ichneumoniadae family, perhaps the white oblong dots we saw on them. 1 never saw them on first brood or their eggs. But this is ail hypothesis. Another reason why they do not damage the Tennessee planters so much is, that he plants and grows corn all the season, and the moth ‘ lays her eggs on corn in preference to the cot ton. We will see the difference between two broods and three. Sav you have 2(30 moths to come out, one half are males; we take 100 fe males at 700 eggs each, say 70,000 caterpilUrs the first generation; 24.500,000 the second, now sum them up to the third, deducting half for males, and we have the enormous sum of, (if I have not miscalculated,) 8,575,000,000. This insect hybernates in the chrysalis state in the ground. The larvae or caterpillar when full grown will measure from one and a half to one and three fourth inches in length; it looks to a superficial server, brown, pale yellow and light green, though it has eight longitudinal streaks, of white, brown and green, with one or two dots on each segment of the body along the lowest streak ; it is smooth, shining, naked, with a few hairs on each segment of the body. They are of a cylindrical form, tapering a little at each end, rather thick in proportion to their length, legs six before, eight central, and two anal. Head brown, smaller than body, oval. I of no effectual means of preventing the ravd|K of this insect, but that the remedy is worse thffli the disease. Now, if we were to plant no corn, (zea mays) we might get entirely clear, perhaps, of this bisect; but more anon. JOHN W. BODDIE. Jackson, Miss., July, 1850. The Gold Mines ot California. A mineralogist and geologist of much expe rience, who has been a practical miner for a year past in California, contributes an article to the Placer Times, published at Sacramento city, on the prospective resources of the placers. He remarks that he has found gold in the Northern mines more plentifully distribted than he ever found any other metal in any other country, and gives it as his confident opinion, that the vet un touched and stable foundations of the wealth of the new State will be discovered in those de posits where the remuneration of an individual laborer will average four or five dollars a day.— He also ventures to assert what he supposes to be thought very absurd, that ten years from this date, there will be more gold taken from the placers and mines of California than they are yielding at this time, for the reason that only the richer deposits are now worked. He adds: “I have satisfied myself, that one elevated tract of table land, containing probably not less than one hundred acres, would pay not less than three cents per bucket over the whole extent, from the surface to the bed-rock.” COMMERCIAL.

Kemp offered the following resolu tions, which w r ere unanimously adopted: “In the midst of life, we are in death ’’ To-day we are strong in health, with the fairest prospects of long life and uninterrupted enjoyments, to-morrow we die When the pulse beats strongest, and the future promises fairest, even then may the grim messenger of Death be preparing his coils to launch us into Eternity. These solemn truths are suggested to our minds, by the recent sudden decease of our beloved brother and cherished friend, Stephen D. Reed, who died in Jeffer son city, California, on the 20th day of August last. In his death, we have lost an esteemed brother, and his ac quaintances and relatives, a warm-hearted and devoted friend. Deeply impressed with the tidings of this melancholy event, weheartilv approve of the following resolutions: 1. Resolved, That we have learned, with deep sor row, the decease of brother Stephen D. Reed, and sin cerely sympathize with his bereaved relatives in their irreparable loss. 2. Resolved, As a token of regard for his memory, we will wear the usual badge of mourning for the term of thirty days. 3. Resolved, That these resolutions be recorded on the Minutes of the Lodge, that copies be presented to the near relatives of the deceased, and, also, sent to the Columbus papers for publication. W. E. BARNETT, ‘ Secretary of Tuckabatchie Lodge. MAIL ARRANGEMENTS. Columbus, Ga., Oet. 10, 1850. Eastern Mail arrives at 8 o’clock, A. M., dai ly—closes at 5 P. M., daily.

This truly valuable remedy for all diseases of the lungs and throat, has become the chief reliance of the afflicted as it is the most certain cure known for the above complaints. While it is a powerful remedial agent in the most desperate and almost hopeless cases of Consumption, it is also, in diminished doses, one of the mildest and most agreeable family medicines for com mon coughs and colds) Read below the opinion of men who are known to the world, and the world respect their opinions. / rom Professor Hitchcock. James C. Ayer—Sir: I have used your “Cherrt Pectoral” in my own case of deep seated Bronchitis, and am satisfied from its chemical constitution that it is an admirable compound for the relief of laryngial and bronchial difficulties. If my opinion as to its superior character can be of any service you are at liberty to use it as you think proper. EDWARD HITCHCOCK, L, L. D., President of Amherst College. From the “London Lancet “Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral” is one of the most val uable preparations that has fallen under our notice. After a careful examination, we do not hesitate to say we have a large appreciation of its meiits and the fullest confi dence in its usefulness for coughs and lung complaints.” Dr. Brewster, of Windham co., Conn., sends us the following testimony: Dr. J. C. Ayer—Dear Sir: I enclose you a certificate from Mrs. Catharine K. Cady, a highly respectable lady of this village, wife of Mr. Seth Cady, Deputy Sheriff, Windham co., Conn. The cure in her case was very prompt, and has attracted general attention. W. A. BREWSTER, M. D. West Killingly, Ct., Sept. 28, 1848. This may certify that I was afflicted with a very severe cough in the winter of ’47-8, which threatened to ter minate in consumption. I had tried many medicines in vain, and was cured by the use of “Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral.” CATHARINE K. CADY. Direct Evidence. Dr. J. C. Ayer, Lowell—Dear Sir: Feeling under obli gations to you for the restoration of my health, I send you a report of my case, which you are at liberty to publish for the benefit of others. Last autumn I took a bad cold, accompanied by a severe cough, and made use of many medicines without obtaining relief. I was obliged to give up business, frequently raised blood, and could get no sleep at night. A friend gave me a bottle of your Cherry Pectoral, the use of which I immediately commenced according to directions. I have just pur chased the fifth bottle, and am nearly recovered I now sleep well, my cough has ceased, and all by the use of your valuable medicine. E. S. STONE, A. M., Principal Mt. Hope Seminary. From Dr. Bryant, Druggist and Postmaster, Chicopee Falls, Mass: Dr. J. C. Ayer—Dear Sir: Enclosed please find re mittance for all the Cherry Pectoral last sent me. I can unhesitatingly say, that no medicine we sell gives such satisfaction as year’s does ; nor have I ever seen a medicine which cured so many cases of cough and lung complaints. Our physicians are using it extensively in their practice, and with the happiest effects. Truly yours, D. M. BRYANT. Prepared by J. C. AYER, Chemist, Lowell, Mass.
