OCR NEW YORK LETTER.
[Corrwpondene* of ih« Boiahridge Argas.] I much about the acknowledgement of
" beligerent rights to the Southern Con
federacy on the part of England^ it
would be a note of absurdity to itself to
do for Cuba what was so complained of
in England toward the Strath. We have
yet respect enough for the “powers that
be, H at Washington,- to believe the non
recognition of Cuba- to be a matter of
policy rather than principle. Any one
who desires to see that beautiful Isle
nnder the dominioff of a conntry like
Spain, must certainly be destitute of the
love of freedom and of sympathy for the
down-tfoddeh- And the reason the poor
Cabans have-not been recognised by
England and France, ia mhrd national
jealonsy: They know the" moment thi*
gem of the Antilles becomes free it will
only add another brilliant star to the
American banner; just the same jealousy
that keeps the poor Turks under the
vilest rule that ever cursed the earth.
But as it is no part of our duty nor pro
fession to reform the political status of
nations, we will forbear fnrtfier infliction
upon your readers till anon.
Yoan truly,-

A BLACK WKEK—PROSPERITY IN THE SOUTH
—A DHJ2BMA—CUBA, ETC.
Last week may be designated “a black
week*’ in the history of current news in
this locality. The Avondale disaster, in
which over two hundred souls perished
in a coal mine in Pennsylvania, leaving
their families In a state of want; a simi
lar fatality in Missouri, though not so
destructive of human life and human
hopes; the deaths of Messrs. Bell and
Rawlins and Feesender; find the tornado
in Boston, by which that great centre of
the universe came near being blown
away, all these make qnlte a chapter la
misfortunes for one solitary week. Still,
they are but bubbles upon the ocean of
human life, seen but a moment upon the
surface and sinking beneath the wave,
while the vast deep still rolls otf and on
as thongh nothing had happened.
The condition of the South is still a
frequent subject of discussion among
gossipping circles as well as in the pub
lic press, and all the more so just at the
present time, as the season for cotton
buying is fairly now open. Though
there are reports of short crops coming
in from several places, the idea so uni
versally prevails that the aggregate will
be large, that prices are not UoW so firm
as a fortnight since, while those for fu
ture delivery have considerably declined.
We saw it stated that a fair estimate of
the value of the present crop would be
full three hundred millions; while the
amounts from other items of Southern
staples Would carry^our income flip to
nearly double that, making the nmoirnt
that would fall to each individual of our
Citisens, if equally divided, all of sixty-
fotlr dollars, thus showing np our por
tion of the conntry as the most prosper
ous of the Uuion.
We do not know whether this estimate
takes in the whole population—that is,
whether the sixty-fonr dollars will be
due every man aud woman and child, or
simply every man.
If it means the former, please put
your correspondent’s name iu for some
five or six sixty-fours, and when collect
ed take charge of the same until called
for. If the estimate should only com-
■prebeud each man, or head of family,
the small amount that would bo ours
can go for the Argus or the Sunday
School, at the option of the editor.
The article from -which we took the
above estimate, went on to say that in
five years, at least, the Southern portion
of the United States Would be by far the
wealthiest, and all this the result of the
new or ler of things—all this because the
Confederacy failed. Hence the following
diliema presented itself to our mind,—
and built upon the following facts: the
Sonthern portion of the United, States,
the wealthiest portion of the country ?
The cause of this, the fatal war, the
emancipation of slavery, and the re
nowned diplomacy and military skill of
Messrs. Lincoln and Seward, Generals
Grant and Sherman.
What then ? Why these rrieii are great
benefactors of all mankind in general
and of Southern mankind in particular.
Aud thej what? Why General Grant
should be made Pope and we should all
kiss his great toe, and General Sherman
should be made Emperor and we should
all hold his stirrup when he mounts,
and Messrs. Lincoln and Seward should
have a monument iu every considerable
cotton region all over our sunny land,

Perhaps the better way to extricate
ourselves from the meshes of this dil
iema would be to adopt the plan resorted
to by a poor widow whose dire calamities
had brought her down to the sole basts
of ‘faith without works.” She was too
poor to live and too sick to go forth to
seek the boon of charity from neighbors
and friends. Consequently, she betook
herself to prayer—she prayed for bread,
which some waggish boys, just returning
from the bakers, concluded to supply,
as they had overheard her prayer while
playing some pranks around her humble
dwelling. Consequently, one of them,
climbing to the top oft he roof, dropped a
loaf of two of the staff of life down the
chimney, and theii returned to see the
effect, upon the old lady’s movements,
of so miracnloos an answer to her prayer;

The Cotton Caterpillar—Preven
tive Treatment.—The Charleston New#
of the 9th has a long communication
from Dr. John W. R.Pope, of St. Lukc’ff
Parish, to the President of the Sont-h
Carolina Agricalturol Society, npoii tlie
Cottoh caterpillar, its ravages upon the
coast crops of Sonth Carolina,- its fifodtf
of hibernation, etc. The writer says:
“The cocoon of the caterpillar im/tll
does undoubtedly bnrrdW ini the earth.
I saw several ploughed out of fie efift 11
about the 1st of April, 1868; took.Uioin
up snd found them active, nu<1 pro
nounced them Unquestionably the eo-'
coon of the cotton caterpillar. So did
my foreman, a smart, observant and ex
perienced man of his eolor. Planters
around me report the same thing. This
spring the cocoons were ploughed tip by
the thousands* This cocoon is as well
knoun and as distinguisfasble i>y c&rt&in
peculiarities both of motion and Hlher-
wise os the worm or moth, in which too
experienced observer cad .be mistaken.
It is idle any longei to entoHain ilodbt
bn this subject.”
He says the birds are too remedy,. for
the coast of Carolina swarms with them.
The remedy he suggests is that .all the
cotton lauds and . those contiguous,
should be deeply ploughed np, so sOon
as the crop is gathered, sb as to expose
the Chrysalides or grubs to the fMst and
cold snaps, which will destroy them. He
also recomniends that the cotton stalks
should be Carefully collected and burned.
