It is known to Naturalists, as -a fact favera-
hln to our theory, that thcdecay.of all substances
(,‘ltiter vegetable or animal is attended by a vast
creation of ammalcula-, and indeed that each
body of putr: i . r (decaying matter even down
to tlie drop of stagnant water is, wheit placed
before the microscope, a miniature world of
animated creation as. perfect, in its form and as

. This insect, so. destructive to the hopes ol
the planter,"is a species of the Aphis or plant

seen, has not be, n particularly described b jr j I, \TE FROM ENGLAND,
naturalists. Of its habits .and economy, lrom | Abollt i,‘j f J)llst 3 o'clock this morning, says
observation, ,we know little—except what 18 New York Jouijial oi Commerce, our news

analogy' however, we may gather much to as
sist us in our inquiries. The family of the
Aphides or plant lice, is extremely numerous—
and many ofthe species are described with a
good deal of accm’acy in scientific works. The
males of these animals are represented as bav
in? wings; the females generally without wing
by the warmth'of the ensuing spring. Their
generation exhibit? a singular and surprisng
phenomenon: it is said that an aphis, brought
up in the most perfect solitude from ’.lie mo
ment of its birth, in a few' days will be found
in the midst of a numerous family; and that if
the experiment be again repeated -on one of the
individuals of this family, a second generation
will'mulUplv like its parent; and the like ex
periment may be many times repeated with the
same effect. Such as are curious in these mat
ters are referred to the Encyclopedias and wri
ters on Natural History, for further informa
tion. *■ •’
Haying ascertained the cause of the Rust,
the next step is, to inquire into the riie.aus of

A very it?:eiljganf planter whose Views on

the only remedy against sif^eadly-.a sequrge to
the Cotton plant, tiiat the breaking up of the-
Cotton lands in the winter, seasprtmid thus ex
posing in then torpid state tliose insects con
cealed in tlie soil, or in Voots of vegetable sub
stances to the action of fronts might effectually
extirpate them; but the writer ismnre induced
to believe the deposit of the ova in the. first
stage as noticed in this essay* is the work of a
lly or some insect whose wintry torpor is more
generally confined to the bark or bodiesof de
cayed trees from whence they issue in tlie spring
season where they generate in myriads, on the
leave - of plants and what few escape the de
structive influence of the.Seasons, arrive at the
parent state at autumn to continue its ephem
eral cxistf nee as successor to its parent until
the following season in the same convenient
asylum—thus > far as the industrious agricnl-
tur ’ is < i.corned we can only look to a Pro-
vldencc towh beb sj s we should how in sub-
tbe aphis being preserved in'tile ground or old
cotton stalks. Hence the expediency of never
planting cotton two years in succession on- tlie
same land; also, of burning the old stalks; and
also, of fall ploughing* that vermin buried in
the grodnd may be exposed, and destroyed by
the winter frosts.
As it is uriceftain when the disease may or
n*iy not again appear, it will be important to
the planter, to lie constantly on the watch for
this insidious foe; and whenever a leaf or plant
appears affected, to remove it at once, to-pre
vent its spreading through his crop. ‘ This class
'of insects increases with astonishing rapidity;

COTTON CROP OF 1832— 3.
As the question of tlie consumption of cottou
overtaking the production, is again in agitation,
and may read to disastrous consequences, it is
well to present such facts bearing upon the sub
ject as may prevent erroneous impressions aud
commercial disappointments.
I accordingly submit to you a table of facts as
to production, which speaks for itsell. _ As' to the
opinions, the informed can judge of their correct
ness; but with regard to tlie estimates of the
coining crop, which, is formed according to the
representations from places of growth, and the
experience of former Seasons, I must remark, that
it is on so moderate a'scaie that it is more likely
to be 19,000 hales uudcc than 10,000 over the ac
tual amount. , - “.
The consumption is so very 'dependant upon
price, that to calculate upon its increase or con-
'tinuance, when' ,wo knbw that 100 mills ccaspd

are, produced in the same summer,
.It was observed-the past summer, that after
the heavy cams- set in r the Rust very' generally
disappeared. It may be inferred therefrom,
that-an abtution of simple w ater is fatal to the
aphis. If so, some plan for watering the crop
jn a dry time, similar' to that adopted in large
cities for sprinkling tlie’ streets, might be advi
sable. And w'hcre simple water e did riot have
tiie desired effect, soap suds, lye, lime w ater,
or a solution of salt,-&c,'&c. (as recommended
for destroying tlie aphides oit fruit trees,) might
answer the purpose. '
The plan adopted hy'many, of planting a
row of cotton and corn alternately,-through
their fields, may*be well calculated to prevent
a spread of the Rust-^-especially in rich land,
where the plant attains a rank growth:
if the former enter Belgiuni on the ooe ^ide, the
latter would do the same on the other. ' , *

Habits of Economy.—“A slight knowledge of

j ‘'that when amaii'gets on a little'in the world he
is desirous or getting on a little further.” Such
! is the growth of provident habits, that it has been
said,if a jourueymau lays by the first five shillings
his fortune is made. .Mr. William Ilall, who has
bestow ed great attention,.on the state of tlie la-
bouriug.pcor.'declares he never knew an instance
ofonc who had saved money coming to the pa
rish. And lie adds, moreover, “those individuals
who save mtpicy.nrc better workmenif they do

two hundred who would spend every shilling they
got. In proportion as individuals save a little mo

that little, and there is a superior tone given to
their,morals and they behave better for knowing
they have a little stake in society.” It is scarcely
