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, rfc< *. F. Dickenson, A.

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; haff I seed, far arter that beef feller 1 didn’t stop long ho witar.

Why he lowd hit costed nigh onter ten thowsen dollersl Ses I, geeinimy f why thar is pine poles enuff roun here to bild jist double as many houses what’ed cost not one haff that mutch, ner nothin like hit The feller lowd that this here war a age o’ improovmenf, an a log-house wernt no whar, now, ner not even a plank-house.

I had ter look twice afore X ctid flee the top ov hit, an een side he had lots o’ things what he lowd war cheaper en dart. Why he had things he sed, “wurld without eend,** an raly I think he did shore nuff.

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.
