It appears that in 1770 Mr. Francis l>e-

at Bath, England, who united to great

rare accomplishments, by the name of
Giles, who reoeived a copy of some com

ed a copy of some complimentary verses,
accompanied by an anonymous note in a
different handwriting.
The verges aud the note came, subse
quently, into the possession, accidently,
of a Mr. Twistleton, whose snspioiou
became excited that both the verses and
the note were written by Francis, who to
conceal his agency had disguised his

Through the aid of friends we have
come to the.conclusion that there is 20
per cent less cotton and 25 per cent more
corn planted this than last year, and not
half as much guano used. The seasons
have been favorable for corn, excepting
the continaons hard rains of the past few
days, and never more unfavorable for the
cotton plant Making up an opinion at
this date, and under the circumstances
that surround ns, we place the cotton
crop prospect on quite unfavorable
ground; iu fact do not think the yield
will be more than half what it was last

belief that the corn cribs will be at home

departure makes room for another, just
as tlie committing of ouu sin leads to
>ther. The men who propose depart
ure# never reach a point at which they
diA r e to halt They novel* lose contidence
iu diomselves and are always ready with
some new expedient when an old one
fttila The more desperate the cas^be-
oomes tlie more fertile they are in de
vices. A departure is a step in the
wrong direction and on an inclined
plain. No one can be materially hurt by
it except those who take the venture.
If the Democratic party cannot suc
ceed in adhearing strictly to Democracy,
why not disbaud it ? Why not distinctly
aver the ground of departure ? Why
not state from what we are to depart ?
And why not let Democrats know to
what they are to go ? Is there not some
thing rotyeff in a party that takes “ de-
oartures* to gain political victories ?—
_ust it not be feeble and corrupt ? A
party that is strong iu faith, in discipline,
and in intelligence never thinks of tak
ing a departure. It has uo occasion to
take departures. But it renews its vigor
by constantly rallying to its creed. Its
principles arc the watch words of its
loaders and its masses are inspired with
enthusiastic devotion.
No surer sign of internal weakness
could be given tliau the disposition of
the Democratic party to abandon De
mocracy. It# disintegration will follow
shortly if it is not speedily rescued from
the hands of those who are running it
into a silly, immortal and impracticable
chase after power. But let no one be
disheartened. The cause of Democracy
cannot perish. Parties may die, but
while we have a Democratic people De
mocracy will survive. The party may
abandon it, but the Democratic people
need not despair. They themselves are
the omnipotent power in the laud. Par
ties and politicians are more creatures.
The Democratic people cud make and
unmake them with their breath. If one
set of men will not serve the Democracy
another will, and tho best place to look
for faithful leaders is in the renka.
The u Red OlltV , History*
As the old “red cent” has now passed
out of use find, except rarely, out of
sight, tike the “old oaken bucket,” its
history is a matter of sufficient interest
for preservation. The cent was first pro
posed bv Robert Morris, tho great finan
cier of the Revolution, and was named
by Jefferson two years after. It began
to make it# appearance from the mint iu
1792. It bore the bead of Washington
on one side and thirt- eu links ou the
other. The French R v 1 ition soon cre
ated a rage for French ideas in Amerim,
which put on the cent, instead of the
head a# Washington, Dip IimhiI ol Uxe
Goddess of Liberty—French liberty,
with flowing locks. The chniu on the
revprse was repine il by the olive-wreslh
of ponoe. But rt\- French liberty wss
short-lived, and »> was her portrait on
our oeut.. The next lesul or figure sno-
ceediog thin—the staid, clussic dame,
with n fillet around her hair—came into
fashion about thirty or forty years ago,
and her finely chiseled Grecian features
have been bnt slightly altered in the
lapse of time.
