The theory that the great Colorado desert is below tidewater, and might be flooded by dig~ Ring a canal from tbe Golf of California, re* oeivefl important corroboration from the state* ment of Mr. Denton, of San Diego, who has been traveling through the desert with an ex* ploring party. On their arrival at New River Station, on the New Itiver, which runs'from Colorado, they fonod tbe water subsiding stead ily, indicating that the stream wonld soon be dried np. Advancing into the desert they came to an oveifliwed section on which tbe water was two feet deep, and when tbey reached tbe New River again, abont sevonty miles from where they first struck, they found the water from four to aix feet higher than at New River Button, and running like a mill race. This proves that tbe deprcsHion in the desert, a? ore advances from the Colon do, is quite marked. A fact rot generally known is that at extreme high U**e« tbe tide of the Califorria Gulf rifles from twenty-five to thirty-five feet, and this formidable body cf water ruflbes up tbe Colo- rado, backing np tbe fresh water. now They Kill Tliem Over In Ala- twta$ Mr. D. F. Front, a largo planter living in the Ganebrake" section of Alabama, writes a let ter to the, Selma-Times describing his method of killing the caterpillar, and which has proved entirely suoccs*fal. He says; I had ordered two hundred pounds of Paris green from New York about t middle of Jnly, bnt it was delaved on the way acd did not reaoh here until tbe first of August. In tbe meantime the worm had appeared in large numbers on the most luxuriant of my bottom land cotton and threatened sorions injury. Immediately on its leoeipt I commenced vigorous operations in tbe following meaner: The different eqnsds hsving been provided with all tbo appliances for bsnling water rapidly and storing it conveniently ia the field, six active, oartfal hands were pnt in charge of that number of two gallon watering pots, and were waited on by other hand*, each snpplied with a common blue bucket. An iron teaspoon was filled heaping with tbe Paris green, and was thoroughly mixed with about two gallons of* water in the buckets, poured into the watering pots, and immediately applied to the plants. To thoroughly sprinkle the cot- ton nboot forty gallons of water to the acre were used, and this quantity required abont a ponnd of Paris green. Water being abnndtAnly supplied, acd the hands active and willing, the work went on ith dispatch, and in a day and a half sixty acres were watered. Tula being all that waa seriously infected. I stopped operations for the time. In twenty-fonr hoars after tho applica tion of the Paris green the worms were nearly all ddad or dying, and tbe cotton is now pat ting on a new growth. To destroy the worm effectually the plant must be thoroughly water ed, and f nongb of tbe Paris green n«ed to be perceptible on tbe leaves. After it is well dried a light rain does not remove it, but it will re quire time to test its power applied in this way to effeot tbe seoond crop hf worms. Lateit News from lira.

Though I have killed a great many worms, fresh worms are continually coming out after the poison, and the«e refuse only the badly poisoned or scorched leaves. In my opinion there will be enough worms left to destroy it afrer poisoning, though they will be longer in doing it. If you think it will pay, send me sixty or seventy pounds at once, for tbe worms are eating the cotton at a fearful rate everywhere.

The Tribune has the following which we re port for the benefit of these "whom it may con cern”: A Pennsylvania lady baa » most romantic and ingenious way of managing the gentleman so happy as to be her husband. Exasperated by her persistent conversation, h* nngallantiy boxed her ears the other day. Tbe wretched woman cast bnt one lingering reproachful glanoe upon her lord and ft *d, simply o bee nr ing as abe departed that the briny deep should wash away the insult. Leaving behind her everything most dear and precious to ter—tbe heme of her marrit-d life fall of beautiful and cherished memories—this heart-broken woman rushed frantioally to tho canal, and, with one parting sigh, threw in a large stone, which made a mighty eplash. Then she went and hid herself in tbe bushes and giggled, while her husband and twenty other men hurried up, with horror depicted upon tbeir coantenanoea. and wildly dragged the canal for her body. 'When the in jured wife became convinced that the wretch tad suffered enough, abe appeared from behind tbe bashes and led him home, a resigned and willing victim. The Z inesville (Ohio) Advocate records tbe death, Jaiy 30, of Sheridan Stocebarner, aged 7 years, one of the triplets born to Solomon and Hannah Stcneburner. November 15, 1565. The children were named U. S. Grant, W. T. Sher man, and P. H. Sheridan. Dr. Safford, of Z inesville, preached tbe diaoourae from Seoond Kicgs, 4:24, "Is it well with the child ? It if well.” Grant and Sherman, tho other two boys, are in fine health and promise. That he survived ao long under hia name, i* a special wonder. If Stonebnrner hid been House burner, or Mill burner, or Barnburner, how the "eternal litnees of thing*” would hava been ill nitrated, to be tore! raEUKISff. t * Why Not Set Up aw Empire If the People Say Io?” Ai significant of ihe drift o! Radical opinion on the question of a third term for Grant, vxtract tbe following from a leading editorial in Harper’s Weekly of August IGJl That paper if one of the most influential and widely circu lated j ournals of the Radical party, and au dent aupporter of the present administration. It says s Ike bugbear called "Caeurinn" is rather sneer than aa argument If the President can be elected thrice, it is said by the ardent patriots who see a coming C® *ar in General Grant, why not four, five.*or"six times, or for life? Why not. indeed, if tbe people say so ? * If a clear m» j >rity of the people vote to abolish the Be public acd set np aa empire who shall hinder them? Shall we, then, go into hysterics in ad vance? If tbe.people choose to-morrow to es tablish - Mcrmooism or hamau sacrifices we don’t see who could say them nay.. Yet our wlvee and children need not distress themselves quite yet. Before we believe that 40.000,000 of people are goirg be false to their tradi tions and to deny their principles arms evi dence must be bronght. Taere must be some fao?s going to thow a char gs of mind, some ob vious eigns of distrust in free institutions, aome well-marked indications of a leaning to the monarchy or imperialit-m. Now the fact is, there is nothing of tbe kind. Probably there never was a time when the general faith in onr institutions wa? a* fi*xo as it is now. It wonld certainly require something more than the re- election of a good msgi&trate to effioe to prove its decay. But this ghost cf Crciarism has hsnnted ns throughout onr brief history. Mr. Jeff Arson detected it in Mr. Adams* well-brushed peruke and handsome liveries. Freneau’s Ga zstte discovered it distinctly In Hamilton’s s rt norous periods and foreign reminiscencv s. Iniked behind Jackson’s imperious commands. Poor Jenkins has had several glimpses of it on the beach at Long Branch. Washington, with his sterling common sense, nsed to say that there were not ten men worth listening to in all the country who were in favor of monar chy. If Ce'dartem was of such minute dimen sions then, when the Republic was an expert men*, what must its proportions be now, when the United 8tates *« one of tho great powrr-i of the world, and all Europe is trying to bal'd on its model? A really serlons objection to Ilia third fe’m plan is the bias It woald give to the PresMem’.* policy before and daring tbo canvas?. It om not he expected of anv President that ha t-boald be indifferent to the result of a cont* at in whi- * he is the standard bearar of his party. ] practice the polioy of a President, while* ran niDg for re-election, has been too often shaped in order to win votes rather than serve tho beat interests cf the country. His foreign polioy is apt to be mere sggresdve than it won’d be after election. Mea«nres of domestic policy are likely to be considered more with a view to their immediate effect npon tbe minds of tbe people than in tho light of the narmanent ad vantage of the common wealth Unpleasant da- ties are apt to be shirk'd. Offeures committed by popular men controlling votes are fri q lently overlooked. Acquiescence In the follies of the hour is often feigned Few Presidents, pend ing a canvass, wonld surrender a Mason and Sli dell. or suppress a Feniau outbreak. Soma would even go so for as to jastlfy an Oitend manifesto or the bombardment of Greytown. Hardly any could refnse to reward drsertion from the en»mv or cx’raord in ary efforts in the ranks with office. These obj«otions. it will be noticed, apply with equal force to % second term as to a third, and in practice a President must have extraordinary claims to have a chance of either. On tbe other hand, it is hardly possible to exaggerate tbe importance to tbo onntry of re taining tbe services of s faithful and expert enoed magistrate. Tho United Spates hive not always been fortunate in their chief rulers. Tbey have discovered that Presidential elec tions, liko marriages, are a lottery. They have sometimes drawn rather queer lots therein. In times past, when the oountry was small and iso lated from the rest of the world, these accidents mattered littln.

Down on Agricultural College*, The Boston Journal of Chemistry strikes a new rote in tbe following: It i« well known that connected with Har vard University is a department of agricnllnre, magnificently endowed; known as the Baasey school. This school has been dnly organized, having its corps of accomplished instructors, with lecture-rooms and laboratories, and all so cessories for imparting instruction, but it is without 'Indents. Daring tbe past year but ae yonrgroan and one young woman have thronged the baba” of tho Bn*«»ey Institution, and there seems to be no decided indication of the increa»e of Btpd#» c ts at present Tbe cor poration of the Uoiversify aro puzz’ed to know what to do with this foundation. It has means enough, and room enongh and facilities enongh. bat wbere are the students? To teach agriculture or hnrticnRnre after anv of the rules of ihv school is a d ffi-ult undertaking, and mu*t resnlt in a foilnre. Why shall we deceive? why thall we novei* np? Why shall we not tell the truth? Onr agricultural colleges are fail- nres—all of them. The difficulty lies not so much in the honesty and capability of those who are endeavoring to condnot them ; the plan, the idea, the claims, are fonnded in eiror, and tbe srener this is acknowledged, and a revolution fleeted, the better it will he for the interests of practicil agriculture. We clearly understand that io thus taking decided ground against the schools of agricnlfnre. Ro-oalled. which hAve been established under Congressional ana State aid, we d'saffect a considerable number of high ly esteemed friends; but while we are Roiryior this, we cannot smother our conviotlons, or hesitate to declare the tralh. The colleges are not failnreR from want of s'ndentR in all cases, but from the faot that they do eo*. aid or pro mote the great interest of practical husbandry in any sensible degree. As educational institu tions they mav be well enongh, but as "agricul- tnral colleges" they aro failures. Massachusetts rgrfcultnre is itself, we snp pose, a rapidly declining interest. Tho pro portion of area scsieptible of profitable tillage very small and bears a high value, while the high prioe* of all manufactured goods and of labor, and the very low price3 of produce dis- oonrage the growth of that industry. It is no wonder, therefore, that a Mas? achusetts Agri cultural school should lack pupil*. Bit it is absurd to deny that a good reboot of natural and applied science may be of great advantage to the young practical agriraltnriat, or that In fact it may not make him acquainted with all the advances in practical agriculture by bock* and study. [Communicated ] Patron •! Uasbaadry. It seems that certain men who have been leaders in days past, are now reeking an issue with us, whether for the good of the dear peo ple or for self aggrandizement, this deponent saith not. Unfortunately, I think' for them, ihe alarm has a j ngle of rule or ruin about it, and consequently will be duly considered and a irae verdict given. There are others also who have long subsided upon prefits derived from the toil and sweat of the poor ignorant former*. And now forcoatfa, because these humble dod hoppers dare to unite tn secure tbeir rights and protect their interest, the cries of "Hambug" and "Duplicity” are raised against them. The order has Buffi riant merit in itself to oombine all tbe agriculturists of tbe ooantry into one oernmon brotherhood, which will be done at no distant day, for their own protection and pre servation, and all growlers and dissenters will be remembered accordingly. The cry of affiiia tion with the political parties cf the present day nothing more thin a sound wiihont an echo. A Patbon. Rocky Creek, Lsurens County, Georgia, Au gust 12, 1873. The Bev* Newman Hall Noes for a Divorce* The Bev. Newman Hall has been compelled appear in the London Divorce Court. This estimable gentleman has been sorely tried in his domestic life. His marriage was rather a romantic one. and arose out of an attachment hich his wife formed for him while he was acting *a her tutor. 8he was tbe daughter of a Sootch gentleman, well known in the religious world, and whose life Mr. Hall afterward wrote. Thoee who knew hatband and wife were aston- iahed at tbe admirable manner in which he conducted himeelf toward a lady whose capri cious and unoertam temper seemed almost to ■nggeet mental rather th»n moral defect. Some yean ago it waa said Mr. ffoil bore this last in jury patiently; bat it would seem that some freab wrong had been committed, and he has bow filed a petition in the Divorce Court, al leging adultery on the part of hia wife with a man named Richardson.

Special io tho To’egrapa and Messenger ~\ Athens, Ga, Angus** 14—The convention adjourned siue die to-day at two p m , to meet in Oolumbu* in February next. Golonel Thomas Hirdeman made a speech to day, which was enthudasticilly received by the farmers, grangers and all present. He said that he had never heard 8) many gliomy speeches as those delivered daring the conven tion oonoerning the present industrial statu* of Georgia. He complained that Governor Smith had in his speech yesterday compared the sta tistics of Georgia in 1 SGO and 1870, to show that we had grown poorer since the war. This was fallacy, he 8Aid, to be detected by an infant. He wanted the statistics of 18GG and 1873 com pared, and they would show bur rapid improve ment. m The speech was received with leni cheer?, and tho hearts of the crowd ware entirely with Colonel Hardeman. Again he disagreed with the Governor as to making tbe violation of a contract by afraedman a penal offdnso by the law of Georgia. Saoh a law would be a most disastrous blow to agricultural interests, and cause a huge exodous of negroes. Last night the supper given to the delegates passed off most happily. There was plenty to eat and plenty to drink. Tho college bnildiDg was brilliantly illuminated, and the whole town turned out. Loud calls were made for Tom Hardeman, but be couldn’t be gotten out.
