I From the N. O. Delta.]
THE COi' J’UN CHOP.
East Feliica.na, Sepi, 15, 1540.
Editors of the Delta :
Although! personally a si ranger to von
I make no apology for troubling you with
u communication on the subject of our
cotton crop. The interests of all classes
are so blended with those of the coiton
planter, that whatever materially afflicts
the latter is felt by the others.
As a matter almost of course, my
theme is the worm—the “army worm,”
as it is popularly but erroneously desig
nated. Cotton worm it should be called
in the vernacular, for the simple and suf
ficient reason that it feeds exclusively on
the coiton plant. No other green tiling
will it touch us food, though starving.—
From some of the stories published, one
might reasonably infer that the very for
ests had been devastated by the march
ing legions of this in-eet, but such is not
the fact. It is hatched upon and nurtured
by the cotton plant alone, and when that
fails it dies. Countless millions are not
unfrequently encountered in the high
ways, seemingly in search of “fields to he
won;” hut always after, never before, the
surrounding plantations have been ra
vaged.
This worm (as I have been told by old
residents) made Us first appearance here
in 1811. Its second advent was in 1825,
and its third in 1840. Upon those data
an opinion was based that it would not
appeal again until 1854 or 1855; but it',
partial ravages in 184 4, and the general
sweep it has made the present year, have
shown the fallacy of that assumntion.
The only person who seems to have
troubled himself with ascertaining and
announcing the true character of ttie cot
ton worm, so far as my information goes,
is Mr. A-f Heck, of Adams countv. Missis,
sippi; and he, if I mi-take not, has erred
greatly in stating the length of time with
in which certain transformations occur in
the worm. 1 have not his paper at hand
to quote from, and may be the re fore w rong
in assuming that lie allows “from two to
five weeks' 1 for a transformation that pro
bably occurs within as many days.
In 1810 I noted three distinct broods of
worms in the same field, within the pe
riod of thirty days. The first brood be
gan to exhibit its work (as nearly as I
can recollect) about the 10th of August,
at which time the worms were generally
half grown, or about five days old. Be,
tween the 2!)ih and last of August the se
cond brood (vastly more numerous than
the first, but still not extending over more
than half the field) did its woik. On or
about the 10th ot September the third
brood was out, and made c eun work of
the place.
There is a scientific gentleman, (Dr.
Win. M. Carpenter,) formerly of this
parish but now of your city, whose ohser
vations on the worm in 1840 would, as 1
think, enable him to favor the public with
an account of its true character, and cer
tainly he could not spend an hour more
creditably to himself and profitably to the
community than in a delineation of this
pest to the cotton planter.
There is a worm nearly resembling the
cotton eater, but smaller, that annually
swarms in our fields and devours the
grass. This will sometimes nibble a few
of the under leaves of the cotton plant,
when grass is scarce, but does no further
damage. There is also a worm vet
smaller than the grass-eater, more slen
der, and ot a lighter color, that banquets
exclusively on the squares and young
bolls of the cotton plant. This latter
sometimes does extensive mischief, and
has been reasonably busy the present
season. All these, and some others that
might bo named, require investigation,
and ways to be devised for their avoid
ance or destruction, and it is to men of
science—to those who cultivate the intel
lect rather than the soil—that the plant
ing interest must look for relief from a
scourge that bids fair to baffle all physical
energy.
The reports you have of the probable
damage to the coiton crop are in the main
correct. In this parish and West Feli
ciana, less than half an ordinary crop
will be realized. Some will make a full
half crop, whilst others will not make
more than a third. A very few will make
over half a crop, owing to a continuation
of favorable circumstances, whilst coun
ter cases might be staled in which the
deficit would amount to four.fifths,*
I subjoin from personal observation,
the estimated yield of a few plantations,
both large and small, in comparison to
what the product would have been had no
disaster occurred.

All the.-e places I iiave viewed, except
Lambard’s, and 1 presume that I have not
underrated the product of his place. I
could add. from reliable information,
scores of cases in which the result would
not differ materially from those above
given.
In addition to the ravages of the worm,
many planters of this section suffered
serious damage by the storm and flood of
the 15th and 16th of August, when our i
water courses were higher than they had
been since July, 1811. a period of 35 j
years. So on the whole, our community |
bids fair to take the small end of the horn
the present season.

UgAHIS .Ma<4iine is now offered to tlie pnlilic as
-H. t lie most durable, the most convenient, the
most pototrful, (and all things considered,) th? .
cheapest and best Colion Packing Press in the
World.
This Press has now been in use four years—sev
eral hundreds of them are m successful operation.
in one that has been in use about two years,
there has lieen jmcked, over Jive thousand Pales ol
; Cotton ! and it works belief (if possible) now, than
when first put up. Notone dollar has been ex
pended on it in repairs—nor e\i t will be, if well j
| used.
i All those persons who have tried them, have de- j
t ided to keep them thiir life tunc, and then hand 1
| them down to their children to the third and fourth
generations. Not an indi\idual that has seen them
; in use Iml w hat pronounces them "just (hething.”
] i challenge the world to disprove these state
ments. Now. can as much be said of any other
Machine ever midc.’ And yet Igo still further;
w hen required, I will put up the Press on the plan
| tation, and if it does nut answer the purpose, will 1
make no charge.
I And again—being well aware that the planters {
j have but tittle confidence in new things, from tlie j
| tact that nine out often are “ i unkec tricks,’’ in- |
tended to deceive, I have been to the trouble and
1 expense to lit tip an establishment in .Macon, with 1
I several Presses, for re-packing Round Balts into
Square, a ml to show to the planters that t lie I’ress is
just the tiling they want. These Presses are now,
and will lie kept in daily use, and open to inspec- ;
lion. Now, therefore, to induce tlie planter to
make an examination, I give below a certificate,
signed by a few of the many who have very kindly S
| offered me their names, since i started my Presses
| in Macon.
! To prevent bad work, and all sort of meddling :
l or tampering with tlie .Machines. 1 have them all
■ made under my own direction, -nd sold at one price- j
; All those wishing to give them a trial, will please
) give their names to my Agents who call upon them,
or send them to the Commission House, where
. they wish to go for the .Machine, in order that the J
i Agent may be prepared for them, otherwise they
mug he. delayed in getting a .Machine w hen u is

TIN offering this valuable medicine to the people

; eases incident to a southern climate, 1 do not claim
for it infaiibilhy; neither do 1 say it will cure all
diseases. But in Chronic Liver Affections and Dys

use, from my personal observation and use of the
article in mv own practice. This article is favora

John Warren of Columbus,Mr. .McKaffee of Cobb,

rel! of Putnam. Rev. John E. Dawson of Lagrange;
to which a great number of names might be added,
who bear their testimony toils value. Dr. Henry
Branham has used this medicine in his own case,
and has prescribed it to many others, gives it as his
opinion, that it is one of the safest and most valua
ble medicines that can be used in imperfect diges-
I tion, liver complaints, constipation and irregular
state of the bowels. It is useful in bilious com
: plaints, to persons recovering from bilious fevers,
and in sick or nervous bead-ache. To pregnant
women, who are subject to costiveness, this medi
cine is well suited. In regulating the state of the
stomach and bowels, and promoting digestion, it is j
particularly useful.
1 could append a long list of certificates, but for- ;
hear, prefering to rely on the virtue*, of the tnedi

and certain cathartic, tonic and sudorific.

COLLETOxN BITTERS.
FOR DYSPEPTICS.
rgillESE BITTERS are purely a vegetable
JH compound, and arc offered to tlie pun
lie from a principle of benevolence, under the full
est conviction that they will be found a safe and
sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia. They have been
triumphantly tested tint only by some of the most *
respectable Janiilies in the Slate, who have furnish
ed ample testimony as their decided excellence,
but also by the proprietor, who, for ten years, suf
fered all the. gloom incident to that distressing dis
ease. They possess t ite peculiar excellence denied
to nmsl other Bitters, of not proving injurious by
continued use. They contain not a single delete
rious ingredient, and, seen from ihe»di ructions
which ac company each bottle, may be given with
1 entire safely to an infant in the month
If the Colleton i> taken regularly and persever
ingly.v which is highly important in stubborn cases.)
they will, soon after the use of a few bottles, be
found to act on the system like a charm—imparting
vigor to the stomach, bracing the nerves, cleans
ing the liver, promoring digestion, increasing the
appetite,strengthening the c hest and voice, rtniev -
ing pains, cramps, and stitches in the breast. They
are also mostexcelient fur cholera morbus, habitual
| constipation, sea-sick ness, nausea, proceeding from
■ whatever cause. Jn cases of general debility, it
has proved one of the best remedies, and is there
fore highly recommended to elderly people, literary'
gentlemen,students, and others of sedentary habits.
Taken in small doses frequently through the day,
they have checked the most violent diarrhoea, and
: iikevv ise been administered with the happiest effect
: in cholera infantum.
In all the foregoing complaints, these Hitters will
he found eflectual it persisted in,and taken accord
ing to the directions vv hich accompany each bottle.
And although it lias been testified by several that
they are excellent in many others,yet in none other
than those above enumerated, is the proprietor will
ing to vouch for their efficacy. They were prima
rily and solely intended to cure. Dyspepsia.
The Colleton Hitlers have been eight years be
fore the public; and in consequence of the increas
ing demand for this valuable medicine, the proprie
. tor has entered largely into the business—bottles
! are procured having “Colleton Bitters" moulded in
them—they are also numbered, sealed and stamp

cough, and there were frequently weeks together that 1
; could notspeak above a whisper; and besides, the inffa

Messrs. A B.tfD Sands — Genta: feeling it a duty to
i you and the community at large, 1 send you this certifi
cate of the virtues of your Sarsaparilla, that others who
are now suffering may have their confidence established
and useyour medicine witlioutdelay.
1 wastrouhied v. ith a severe ulcer on my ankle, which
extended half way up to the knee, discharging very offen -

my rest at night, and very painful to bear.

Messrs. Sands —l deem it an act of justice to myself
; and the community atlarge, to relate the following facts
which occurred in our neighborhood in tiie latter part of
July last. JaneC , a young girl aged fourteen years,
wasafflicted with an immense sore on the middle of her
buck,which defied ulltlie treatment of medical skill. As
: she was a friend of our family . J employed all the means in
my power in endeavoring lo relieve her. but in vain. At

1 immediately procured two bottles ofMessrs. Mosely Sc.
Tucker.y our Agent-in till- city, which I gaveto her. 1
called to see her the next day and she told me she had ta
ken two doses and felt very much relieved. 1 laughed im
moderately at this,but she said it was really so, and, gen
