Professor John Henry Comstock,
theeminent naturalist, begins in the

series of six articles on the study of
insects, in which he describes, not
only those insects which are useful
to the farmer.but also those which
destroy entire fields of grain, cotton
and rice, and ravage orchards, gar
dens and vineyards. He demons
trates how it' was scientifically der
termiued that an average annuaf
loss of $30,000,000 has been occasion
ed in the South by the cotton-worm
alone; and that an average loss per
year, of nearly $2,400,000,' has been
brought about in the apple crop of

TnE NORTHEAST CAPE FKAR.
Capt. lixly lleport, Itecommendlns an
Appropriation for lit Improvement.
We have before ns a printed -copy
of Capt. W. H. Bixby's report on
the examination and survey of the
Nort heast Cape Fear river, as it has
been submitted to Congress, through
the Secretary of War; Capt. Bixby
regards the improvement as of itn J
portance and recommends for this
purpose ah appropriation of $30,000
! He has gone over the whole ground
careiuuy ana - nis report contains
matter oi mucn interest to t lie-' peo
ple of this city and section. "The
Northeast Cape Fear," he says,
"rises in the extreme northern part
of Duplin county, flows in a general
southerly direction through Pender
and New Hanover counties, and
empties into the main Cape Fear
river at Wilmington, some thirty
miles from the ocean. It has a total
length of about 130miles (70 miles In
a straight line) and of about 1,600
square miles of drainage area.
"Over its lower 50 miles this river
is tidal, with a depth of at least C
feet at all stages of tide and water,
and easily navigable by small steam
ers. 'even when carrying t wo small
flats abreast. Over the next 40 miles
(from near Bannermanns Bridge to.
near Hallsville) this river has a
depth of about 3 feet at ordinary
stages, flows between banks of mod
erate height, has a gentle slope, and
is suitable to navigation by small
stern-wheel 30 ton to 50 ton 1 steam
boats such as are now in use on simi
lar streams in other parts of the
State. Over the next 13 miles (up
to Kornegay's Bridge) the banks
becomelower, the streams shallow
er narrower and erookeder, and
suitable for tho use of pole-boats
and rafts. Above Kornegays Bridge
the streams may be used by pole
boats, but to less advantage.
"Between Kornegay's Bridge, and
its mouth this river receives several
tributaries Burn coat. Panther,
Goshen, Grove, Persimmon, Lime
stone: Maxwell, Muddy, Cypress,
Isla nd, Oakey, " Rock fish, Angola
Swamp Canal, Fishing, Holly shelter,
Burgaw, -Harrison, Island, Holly,
Sturgeon and Liliingt on bringing
in amoderateamount of water at all
times of the year, and large quanti
ties during freshets, and used dur
ing a large part of the yearbv small
boats, pole-boats and rafts.
"Along this part of the river, and
at intervals from 6 to 10 miles, are
several settlements: Kornegay's,
Sirecta, Hallsville! Chinquepin,
Washington, CrooniX Murrayville,
Bannerman's, Rocky Point, Harri
son, Castle Hayne, at most of which
are stores, turpentine stills, cotton
gins, grist mills and saw mills. -
"This portion of the river is cross
ed by seven county bridges and one
railroad bridge, of which the rail
road, bridge and the upper three
county bridges are without draws.
"A small steamer of about 5 feet
draught makes bi-monthly trips at
present over the lower 48 miles of
liver to Bannerman's Bridge. More
frequent trips are not made because
the present blocked condition .of
the upper river prevents navigation
and the descent of commerce; except
during freshets. Another small
steamer has lately succeeded in get
ting up 88 miles, to Hallsville, being
troubled more by snags and trees
than by want Of depth. anf breadth
of clutruiel. r -
"The lands on both sides of the
river are good, agriculturally, and
well adapted to the culture of grains,
grasses, vegetablesotton and, to
the raising of 1!y stock. What they
most need, especially on the eastern
side of the upper u river, is cheap
transportation facilities. Cotton,
naval stores (turpentine, tar, rosin),
an timber are the most important
products. The timber lands are ex
tenivf, and embrace a large variety
of pine, oak, hickory, cypress, juni
per, giim, bay, cedar, vrillow beecbr
birch, walnut, cherry, mulberry,
pers'uinQu. poplar, maple, elm; etc.
For the last eight or ten years much
of the finer timber has beeiVshipped
to Holland and B,rail. The farm
prCKucs ijt XhU region include to
bacco, corn, oats, rice, wheatf ry?.
peanuts, Irish potatoes, weet pota
