Ravages of the Army worm.

--The ravages of the army worm in Illinois are truly frightful. The Prairie Farmer says their sad work is being prosecuted to a greater or less extent over the following territories: With slight comparative damage in McDonough county, commencing with Adams county on the west, they are traced eastward through Cass, Sangamon, Platt, Champaign and lower part of Vermillion counties. South from Adams, down the Mississippi, they take Pike, Calhoun, Madison, St. Clair and Jackson. Eastward of this line, and south from the other, their number seems to be innumerable in Coles, Clark, Effingham, Cumberland and Christian counties.
