The Christian JMfnisMrylhe only Hope of the Country. A respected contemporary think* liO has found A rcrTledy for tlie demor- alizilion of the times, and that remedy the faitbful preaching of the gospel. He then proceeds to lecture the ministry Andrew Female C® lege. The annual examination and com mencement exercises of this popular in stitution promise rare entertainment to . - .. visitors. It will probably fur surpass «nrl give them such wholesome advice any similar exhibition ever witnessed in the State, or out of it, and will go far to The crops are growing rapidly and are looking well. "We saw no discouraging indications, respecting the fanning in* terest, on the route. We would commend to all visiting Colquitt the excellent hotel, kept by Judge J. V. Heard, who keeps a fine table,' comfortable beds, and polite ser vants, and is nnxions to accommodate bis guests, and render their stay pleas ant and agreeable. in the premises as he deems necessary to a proper understanding of their duties and calling. They should con fine themselves strictly to moral ques tions, clearly defined, such as '‘Thou eh Alt not steal ”—"thou shall n:U bear - fain vciUmt against thy neighbor,” and not go out of their way to denounce customs and imnsemenis that no moral law can be found to condemn, namely ; dancing, theatre-going, &<• (fee., for by inveighing against these “innocent Customs, they destroy their influence and claims upon the confidence of many “sensible people.” Our contemporary seems to ho aiming tight, and, to tbe eye of ibe uninitiated, is a tafe and reliable counselor; but he hits wide of the mark. The very prac lice* ho would hare the ministry wink at are really the most fruitful sources of the wide spread dcmoralizaiion of which he speaks, and which he would have remedied. Gross sins, which are indulged by the self-abandoned and reckloss, are not the evils to bo regard ed as specially elaiining tbo attention of - the reformer. The most of the drunk ards wc see staggering through our streets, wholly lost to shame and self- reproach, first acquired a taste for strong drink at the fashionable party, where the wine cup was freely indulged rs an innocent beverage. And so an investigation into the causes of oilier departures from the path of virtue and religion will disclose the same truth, that in a large majority of instances the ball-room, theatre, circus-ring or other places of amusement sowed tbe seed’s which produced' a harvest of sin, and shame, and eternal ruin. Pure religion, that which alone can save the soul, is from God, and so thor oughly changes the heart and mind that “old things pass away, and all things become new.” “Tbe Spirit itself biJareih witness with our spirit that we are the childrenof God”—yea, “created nr.ow in Christ Jesus.” We are now \ made to “rejoice with joy- unspeakable and full of glory.” To suppose that a child of God, “who is buried with Christ by baptism into death,” can take pleas ure in the light and foolish amusements of an ungodly world, is simply an ab-. surdity; and wc are surprised that any one who ever road a page in the Bible could believe ball-rooms, theatres, and such places of carnal aiimsement lo be In consonance with that spirit of heav enly mindednesa and Christian purity inculcated in every chapter and verse of the holy b -ok of God. “If any man *’ love the world the love of the Father is not in him,” says our Law-giver. We believe, with our contemporary, that great responsibility rests upon, not only ministers, but the entire member ship of the Christian Church, in regard to the deliverance of our country and people from the demo.alization that pervades all ranks of society; aud it is evidently our first duty to acquire that moral power which the magnitude of the work before us demands, and which alone can be secured by a'consecration of our souls and bodies to God and religion. In what wc have said-on this subject we have had special reference to pro fessed Christians, and not to people of the world. Nor have we indulged in mere speculation: wc know that wc •peak the truth. Man’s only business on earth is to recover from the fall, and make his way to heaven. establish ihe reputation of Andrew Fe- m ale'Col lege as a snperior institution to any female college in the South or North. The President, Dr. A L Hamilton, will please accept our thanks for an in vitation to be present aiid wituess the *6X0101308.

The Bans ee of the South—The Banner cf the Somh is now the only weekly paper published which raonrns at ihe grave of the Lost Cause and which keeps alive its memories. It is eminently Catholic and Sottlh- ern in its tone, but just .and charita ble to all. Father Ryan, its Editor- in-Chief, is a brilliant and fearless writer. He has proven himself an able defender of Religio tl Palrla—the motto of his paper, which is rapidly gaining-in public favor and growing in circulation thionghout the whole country. The subscription is $3 per annum. Specimen copies sent free. All communications and business let ters should be addressed L. T. Blomf. & Co., Publishers Augusta, Ga. first.

Esq., has become Associate Editor of that ably conduct ed journal, The South Georgia Times, whom we welcome to the fraternity editorial with the utmost cordiality and the best of wishes. A Mistake.—It is altogether a mis taken idea that the favorable or unfa vorable reports of the local-press, re specting the growing crops, have the slightest bearing on the price of cotton. one is not so largo as the first, aud is a shade darker^ and has black eyes; it proditces fbfe black-striped caterpillar, which destroys the cotton in a very short time' after this dark, black-cyed fly appears. When this fly -appears, in my opinion, it is no use to attempt to do anything, for they are too many in number; but if any remedy can be applied, it must be done before the black-eyed fly can appeac. The oq!y remedy that seems practica ble (and this one may fail), is the build ing of fires in the cotton field*; and this to be of any nae must be done by'all. Oue farmer may build fires the whole season, and.if bis neighbor does not do the same, it will do no good. Let there for tbe Blind.’’ Georgia may well be proud of ibis monument of her civilization and refinement. The indi gent blind of Georgia, are received without Charge for board or tuition. Those knowing blind persona. Would be doing an act of humanity and bencvolcn.ee, by directing them to Prof. Wil liams, of tbe “Georgia Academy for the Blind,” Macon ; or informing Prof. W. of such persons.

The public pu 1 sc continues to beat strongly in favor of this new enterprise* and ‘he sub- stription rolls i re daily swelling in magnitude. Soon the private contributions will reach the A Visit to Colquitt. W6 visited this importantlittle village, on the 5th instant, to attend the 2nd Quarterly Conference for ColqnitUCt., in company with Rev. Geo. C. Clarke, P. E. We met with a hospitable reception and were the recipient of many acts of kindness daring onr stay. The sermon on Saturday morning, preached by Rev. Mr. Clarke, was an cxcelleut discourse; very practical and convincing, and was well received by the audience. On Sunday morning, at 11 o’clock, the Pre siding Elder again preached, aud his congregatioruwas one of the largest we have ever seen in this section of the State. His subject was the prediction of Isaiah of the ultimate triumph of Christianity throughout the earth; a?td the able and e’oqnent speaker completely enchained his hearers for an hour or more, in the delivery of a sermon ne one in the State could surpass. Colqnitt represents a fine agricultural region, and is thought to be very heal-^ thy. Should the Cuthbert railroad pass throngh it, we know of nothing to pre vent its doing a heavy business, and competing—egemfnHy with neighboring villages. The Growittg Crops. During the past week we have been blessed with a warm sun and frequent delightful showers, and from all qnar ters we have favorable reports of the growing crops. We do not kuow a farmer who does uot regard the pros pect, provided the caterpillar and lx>ll-worin do not destroy the cotton, as eminently flat'enng. From our personal observation, and constant ’ enquiry among the best planters in this section, we are com pelled to regard the unfavorable re ports respecting the crops in this region of the State as unreliable, and probably made to affect ihe price of produce, either at home or abroad. There is no appearance of cater pillar or boll-worm in Decatur coun ty that we have heard of, nor do the reports horn other counties, of the presence of tlicsc dreaded foes, amount to much more lliau an appre hension thnt they will appear this sea son earlier than usual, and, hence, do greater damage to the cotton. Thus far, however, neiiher worm or other destroying agencies have done auy thing to blast the prospers of the planter. All species of crops are do ing well, and promise an abundant harvest, Some fields of choice cotton we are informed, will more than av erage knee-high, and some Btalks al ready have eighteen and more squares upon them. We also hear of cotton blooms. Corn will soon be made. A few good seasons of rain, and this crop will prove equal tor that of any year within the List decade. The only trouble now is an appre hension of the early ravages of the caterpillar aud boll-worm ; but this may prove grounuless. Let us hope for the best. “Sufficient ante the day is the evil ther -f.” ... _ Rev. J. O. A. Sparks, pastor of one of the Methodist churches in Key West, died very suddenly a short time since. Gen. Jordan bad succeeded on the 3d m joining tbe Cuban forces. He lyui with him seventeen hundred rifles, new, and of tbe most approved pattern. The Cuban Republic is divided into four States—the Legislature is composed of one house only—the President to be elected by tbe Legislature—religious and civil liberty gnarranteed—all citi zens over twenty-oue allowed to vote. General Cespedes is now the President of Cuba, aud Mr. Morales Lemus Min st er to this coun try. A Friend to the Confederacy.—It is not generally known that Spain was a strong sympathizer with the “Lost Cause,” and especially that she at one time ordered steps to be taken for active hostilities against the North; yet My, Secretary Perry, of the Anvjriean Lega tion at My-Aral, so states in a recent letter. He says: “The desire of Spain to divide the country was so great in 1863, that the government of that coun try ordere 1 hostilities to commence on With the exception of a alight deflection in reaching Culquitt, the county site of Millc, fur which many substantia! reasons arc adduced, we predict the route will be almost as the croiv flies. A bend to Morgan would involve an additional cost of $75,000, while to take Blarely on the route would probabiy require a hundred thous and more. .. ,, These figures we get from official sources Now while we heartily wish tha* every town and village within striking distance could enjoy the benefits of direct railroad communications, still we do not think thnt tbe success of the undertaking should bo imperilled for the grati fication of certain localities. Nor should wc weaken the prestige of tbo project, as one of tha grand links in the highway to the West, by giv" ing a tortuous course to the road bed in quo*- be concert of aelfcm, and it may be that handsome fig!lre of ncar a half ^llKm dollar: thin great enemy of the cotton plant can j Even the most sceptical now concede that the be destroyed, or its progress checked j speedy construction of the Road is an assured Until tbe cotton would be nmde;-aud if j fact. The sentiment in favor of an air line or the boll worm be produced by a fly, it j a near approximation thereto, is well nigh tinau- may be destroyed in the same way, and ; imoa3, at the same time. Let the citizens of every district, or neighborhood, hold meetings every two weeks, at some con venient point; let each one report his discovery, and suggest the best plan by which this fly can be destroyed. Let every farmer look well for tbe green- eyed fly. When it appears, let all begin to bnild these fires; this is the time to destroy the caterpillar: for if one waits until the black-eyed fly appears, then he had better begin to make arrange ments to compromise bis debts. The time to look for the fly, is a little after snuset; if there are any in the field they can be seen very busy around the cotton plants. They arc apt to appear t,on ‘ first on the low parts of land in the field. The time to build the fires, is about sunset, or soon enough to have them burning well by dark. Build very small fires about ten yards apart in every eighth or tenth row. Be careful not to have the fires too large; in that case, the fly would be driven away by tbe ex cessive beat. This plan of building fires to destroy the caterpillar is not a new one; it has l>een tried by some, with .what success I know not; but, I thlnk^jf the plan could be generally adopted, it would prove beneficial. I Lave seen tbe greeu- eyed fly, and now is tbe time for every farmer to be on the look out for it, and as soon as it appears, build-his fires if no better plan can be introduced. This plan costf no money, and very little, la-' bor; aud may save the cotton crop—and all know the importance of saving this crop of cotton. p. O.

[ orrespondence of the Argus.] From Slitchcll County. Messrs. Editors :—I uoticeiu your last issue, that you seem to thiuk that re ports concerning the caterpillar have been much exaggerated. I hope they have; and I also hope there may be a large crop of cotton made this year; but the indications are. that the caterpillar will soon appear, and there will bp but little cotton made. I do not write in this way to discourage nny one; neither do I put this forth as aprophecy; I only wish to give my opinion on this all-im portant subject, as to the operations of the caterpillar, its origin, d;c., aud the best mode of its destruction. Tbe boll worm has already appeared, and isdoing considerable damage. I counted in my field, to-day, eleven forms on one stalk of cotton, that had been perforated and Williams, near Tallahassee, had been stripped of its leaves by the caterpillar. The following letter to us from Col. Williams, not only contradicts the re port as a baseless fabrication, but speaks cheeriugly of the cotton aud corn crops in Leon: Tai.i.aiiasse-, Juno 1st, ISM. Mr. Editor :—I was shown, to day, a piece taken from your paper, beaded “Tbo Caterpil lar,” that if I were to allow to go uncorrected would give a false impression as to tho condi tion of cott n crops’ in our county. You allude to having beard of a field of400 acres of cotton, on one of my places, as having been ruined by the dreadful scourge ; “and so great bad been lire havoc that barely 400 stalks remained on the 409 acres.” IIow this rumor could have been spread, I am at a loss to know—certainly from do expression of mine—for, ou the contra ry, on many hundred acres of cotton, that I have planted. I have not seen two stalks that have been in any way touched. I did see. sev eral weeks ago, a single caterpil.ar that I bought to be the genuine cotton worm ; but friends pronounce it to be simply tho gras3 worm. The fly has been seen by several, but with such seasons as we are now having, little i r no injury can be done by them. What is in store for us, later in the season, I am ut able to say—but at tbe present our county never pre sented a brighter future for a good yic'd ol corn and cotton. Trusting that you will make the necessary correction in your pa er, at least, so far as tbe mentioning of my crops arc involved, I am yours, Ac . JOS JOHN WILLIAMS. In the location ol the proposed route, indi vidual interests and oven the wishes of entire communities should be' ignored, if in conflict i'h tbe grand design sought to bo accomplish ed, which is the fair remuneration of the st-ck holders, and the highest good of the greatest numbtr concerned. It should bo remembered, atso, that an active competition will exist between the Albany and Thninasville Road, and that under review, anil it is of the last impor'ance that eur Hoad should run as far East as possible, in order that it may contend successfully for the produce of the rich tract of country, which will bo. as it wero, debat able ground for Loth on'erprises. To travel fa' away from that region and almost within sound of the steam whistles on tbe Chattahoochee, simply to go by the county *rte of Early, j? asking too much at the hands of tbo projectors of the Road. They could better afford t buy tbe town oi Blakely and let the inhabitants build anew in some morqconvenicnt site. While we do not therefore attach tbe least blame to our Early friends for wishing tbe Road to pass by their doors, we are not witli ut hope that when the inexpediency of the step is made evident to them, they wiil in that event aban don their attitude of quad hostility to the ctif-te und -rtaking, and join heart and hand in the werk of construction. Even though it docs not run directly through the centre of the county, the benefits derived fr in the RAad will ho almost inea’culaide. Sinking individual pr feretices as to route etc., etc., tbe people of this region sh-uld unite as one man and push forward to completion this important enterprise. Is better ‘ r:: our regular shaped Axes f ir these reasons: First— It cots deeper. Second—It don’t stick in the wood. Third—It dues nut jar tho hand. Fourth—No time is wasted in taking the axe out of the cut. Fifth—With the same labor you will do one-third more work than with the regular axes.
