This is a very difficult and thankless task, for it is Impossible for a few men to know the standing of every one in the county. We feel as sured that the commissioners acted to tbe best of their judgment, and if they have committed errors they were tbe result of the bead and not of the heart.

It was only a few days ago these pests first made their appearance, and their increase is wonderful. Soon they covered the grass on a meadow of fifteen acres, and in a single night bad swept it as if with fire. What was only a few hours ago a luxuriant growth of hay was transformed almost into a barren desert. Yesterday morning the worms were seen devouring the bushes, strip ping them of every leaf. Their appe tite is most voracious, and they greedily digest anything green that comes in their way. Mr. Hudson is now at w ork mowing his bay in the fields adjacent, to save it before invad ed by this new vegetable plague. He is afraid that it cannot be harvested in time. He has seen none of tbe worms on his cotton, although there is little doubt of their attacking it as soon as the tender grass is finished. These worms are the natural result of the .wet summer, and It is feared that their spread will seriously injure orops. If their ravages can be stayed for a few weeks, until cotton can take on more fruit, they will prove a bless ing in disguise, as it will not injure the staple to have the rank foliage stripped off that the sun may strike .!

Many years ago the people In that section were aroused one night by an Immense explosion, that pound ed as H twenty or more kegs pj pow der bail been touched oil'at once. It created great alarm, and some thought it a signal foit judgment day. The next day a company was organized to examine into the mystery, and it was soon solved. * Near the Intersection of Shoal creek and Broad river a large hole was ’found 'in the earth, still smoking with Internal' fires,. And the earth for some distance around was so warm that the pit was approached with difficulty. The chasm blown out wasaslafge as a smiMl^hquse, and was twenty-five or thirty feet deep. Large trees had been blown up, and their trunks were charred as if by fire. The rocks around were blackened and the earth scorjhed. Afterwards, when the ground had cooled, a substance ra mbling tallow waa seen oozing from the cracks In this volcanic blast, and It can he seen to this day. It has been about 5ff years since this disturbance, but the cavern ' made by the subterranean explosion Is still seen, the sides yet dripping with a tallowy aubstaaoe. Mr. Aycock is one of the most rallahla men in 6eorgia, and he was one who hmud.the explosion. We have promised to visit this wonderful plaee. at imna fawe day, when we will givea fuller acooitntofit. A Negro Burned, to Deatn B% Year* Ago, in GreeneviUe, S.C. EnterprUe and Mountaineer. I was born on June 8th, 1810, at the Fork Shoals place, sod the first time 1 was at GreeneviUe court house, I think, was on July 7, 1827. I went up there to see a negro man burned to death for killing a Mr. Peter Garrison. Some lit tle time previous it war circulated throughout the county, (that is, the low er partof it,) that there was a runaway negro in the county, breaking in milk- houses, smoke-honses aud kitchens and steaUng provisions. Mr. Garrison was out on one occasion, and got home a lit tle while after night. He went to his barn, or an old house he used to live In, to get some fodder for his horse, and he stayed so long his wife and daughter went to the fodder house, entered and called him. He did not answer. They soon discovered him lying down on the floor, and they shook him and called his name, hat he never answered. They felt about him and found something wet. They then went and got a light and made a search, and found he was dead. They informed their neighbors, and next morning they discovered that there bad been a scuffle, from signs in the house. There was a large poke atalk lying on the floor, cut Uke a stick. It grew by the side oi one of toe doors, outside the house. The neighbors came ia from every direction, and caret at search was made. They supposed that Mr. Garrison had found him in the house, and tried to capture him, and in ao doing, the negro kiUed him by stab bing him. They said he was cut in three or four places. It was said the negro belonged to a man who lived in Georgia, by the name of Boon. I think a Mr. Underwood was. sheriff at that time, aud he hired a man by the name of John Stone to born him. I went an 1 saw him brought out of the jail, a little brick house that then stoood down be tween the old court house and tlie pub lic spring. I and some other persons rode on past to the place where the altar Was prepared. , ,. Tbe place where he was burned, is lo cated or the Pendleton road, about one mile from the court house, and within the present limits of the City of Green ville. They had cut a postoak tree square off, nearly as high as a common man's head, and there was a staple of iron and three or four links of a chain .and when they pot him ia too. altar, they locked these links around his neck and fastened them. The altar, I noticed, waa made of several sorts of wood, with a good deal of Ughtwood, The sheriff had thir ty men aa guards, After patting him in toe altar, they packed in shavings and Ughtwood around him.. Then they brought a barrel of tat and knocked out one head of the barrel and poured the TANNER OUTDONE 1 Moron Telegraph <* Meueaper.. ’ The details' bf orib of .the most marvel ous cases of protracted abstinence from ” food has just become fully known, tfibagh’* R has been going on In Forsyth 'for 1 weeks. Perry Cooley, a mulatto, ijail-" Ing from Anderson, 8. C„ was arrested * about June 1st, in Monroe county', oh a " charge of burglary and committed to jail to await his trial at toe August term * of court. He expressed his determine'- ' tion never to go to toe chain gang, stat- ' Ing that he preferred to starve. He steadily refused food for weeks, as con be testified to by Sheriff C. A. King ahi’ , deputy' sheriff J. IL King,' who ' lias 3 charge of tlie jail and sees to the feeding ’ 'of the prisoners. He always refused to ‘ eat, and while it was then left in the” cell, the food was always found after wards untouched. He offoh begged Sheriff King to let him have a razor, un der pretense of wanting to shave, anil 1 also asked the loan of his knife j but as Mr. King suspected his Intention, he " was never allowed any kind of lnstru- ' ment. But he still adhered to bis pur pose of self-destruction, and after a month’s '• ~ TOTAL ABSTIXESCB FROM FOOD, ’ 5< l 1 Mr. King called Dr. L. B. Alexander in to see the prisoner to ascertain his con dition. He was found considerably re duced but free from all symptoms of in sanity, being in fact quite rational and Intelligent. He reads and writes well, and is much above the average of bia race. Mr. King and Dr. Alexander finally prevailed on him to alp a milk punch, which he then did under com pulsion. But he he has continued reso lutely to refuse all food, and can be in- * duced totaste only milk punch or wine occasionally. Like Dr. Tanner, he drinks water freely, but outside of. that he hasn’t taken enough nourishment in over two months to ktep an ordinary man alive three days. He has lost about 60 pounds of flesh and is merely a skeleton. He cannot walk a step, and can only get up with as sistance. When lying quiet he has the appearance of a dead man. His temper ature and pulse are far below normal, and his respiration yesterday was only eight per minute. The blood has set tled about in spots under the epidermis, and he looks somewhat like a calico circus horse in a trance. Dr. Alexander, who has been watch ing his case, says he cannot live more than a week longer as he is now not far from a dying condition. It was, therefore, proposed yesterday to use force and Introduce through a tube into his stomach beef extract and other nour ishment in order, if possible, to frustrate his SUICIDAL ATTEMPT. This doubtless would have been done sooner, but until now the supposition has been that he clandestinely ate of the food lett in his cell, and that his starva tion was merely a pretense; but careful watching by several persons has induced the conviction that he really lias not eaten one particle of food since his incar ceration. Mr. King says that by pass ing the hand up and down the prisoner’s stomach, he can easily feel the project ing bones of the spinal jolnmn, and that Perry’s size is not more than half what was when first confined to his ceil. The case excites considerable interest among the medical men especially, who, in common with all others, are no little puzzled by this extraordinary perform ance of the prisoner, who, while trying his utmost to commit suicide, has suc ceeded in fasting longer than any person on record. He will doubtless now take a change and recover, as Dr. Alexander has deter mined to force nutriment down bis throat so as to sustain him until his trial fixes his future mode of life. This will take place about September 1st, if he can bis kept alive two weeks longer.

There were four men who stood around tho altar with Ughtwood torches, and toe sheriff stood with his sword drawn up over his right shoulder,’ and when he brought it down the four men put their torches to the tar and shavings The pine caught quickly, and in a little time-flames were covering him.
