The catepillar, which made such ravages in the
cotton fields of Georgia, in the fall of 1804, has
again made its appearance. This year, its com
mencement has been in the upper part of the state,
it was then near the seaboard—Farmers from the
up-country inform us their ravages are much more
desolating this year than before, the cotton crop
will sustain a very serious injury from them, as
they devour the pods that are full formed, as well
as those that arc not grown—and their appear
ance so early in the season makes the danger
more alarming, add to this the destruction from
rot, which in many places is very great, and, in
a lucrative point of view, the situation of the
Georgia cotton planter will not he a very desira
ble one, for this year at least.—Chronicle.

Bonaparte hut defined it as one of the sublim-
est operations of war, to march five leagues a
day, fight a battle, and sleep in safety. How far
the Americans have attained to this sublimity, or
need the instructions of imported F.uropean offi
cers, is best ascertained by the following facts :
General Coffee, in 1814, performed a march
with his brigade, 120 miles in 36 hours; and three
days subsequently, inarching 11 miles, participa
ted in the memorable action of 23d December.
Colonel George Elliott, with a detachment of
400 Tennesseeans, commenced crossing the Ock-
lockeny river, at 11 o’clock on the 31st of March,
1818, and by 12 o’clock on the 1st of April, at
37 miles distance, was engaged with tne enemy,
and slept in security that night, amid the flames

tightly, that the unhappy wearer resembles an

an inch and a half in length, are all the go; and
the shirt collars are long enough to go twice
round the throat. In short, nothing can be so
stiff at present, and every Lad that goes into the
world must have his neck tied up almost as tight
as some lads that go out of it.—London paper.
