The Crops.
K 4? The intelligence from the surrounding country
relation to the crops is of the most cheering
nature. The following information we received
I* from a friend in Burke county; and we presume
some of the adjacent counties can also boast ol
I some good corn fields.
Burke County, July 21, 1838.
“The largest crop ol Coin over taised in this
county, has been raised this season on the plan
af lation of Isaah Carter, from the Bayden seed.—
Mr. Skinner, the Overseer, states that the Cord
A seed corn will not average more than 4or 5 oars
to the stalk, whereas the Bayden teed yields from
Bto 13 ears to the stalk. He also states that he
f ‘ noticed on one stalk of the Bayden Us largo ears,
9 shoots that had silks on them, and 4 shouts
1 that had no silks on them at the time, hut he
thought they would huvo time enough to make
nubbins, which would make 22 large ears and 4
nubbins to the stalk! Beat this who can.
‘•The above information I give lor the benefit
cf the public, as it may be the means of spread,
ing the Bayden seed, which will yield us much
from one acre, as three acres of the (Jmd teed
will. Yours, &c. K. H. ’J’.
Steamboat Disasters.
The Cincinnati Daily News states that on tho
night of the 12th instant, the steamboat Detroit,
■ while descending the river from Pittsburg, with
Messrs. Clay’ Crittenden, and other distinguished
citizens as passengers, struck on come obstacle in
| (he river, supposed to be a sunken coal boat. The
Captain being on deck at the time, promptly di
rected the boat to the Kentucky shore, where she
sank, but the passengers disembarked without in
convenience. The steamboat Buffalo came along
soon after, and look on board the Detroit’s pas
sengers. Messrs. Clay and Crittenden landed at j
Maysvillc, where they look stages fur borne.

Health of iVcvv Orleans.
The Picayune, speaking of the health of the
city of New Orleans, says :
“As to the health of our city at preset! 1 , it gives
us pleasure to statu that it is good. As far as
we can learn, there are not the most distant
symptoms of an epidemic, nor are there more
eases of sickness of any kind than may naurally
bo expected at this time of the year. The rams
for some lime past have been frequent and abun
dant, thus keeping the sheets and gutters clean.
The river continues high, being within fij feet - of
high water mark—and every thing is in favor of
the opinion that there are comparatively few
causes for the generation of poisonous miasmata.
Wo federate, therefore, our assurance that we
have, as yet, every indication of a healthy sum
mer ; but, should it turn out that our impressions
are wrong, we shall, whenever that is ascertained,
be the first to make it known.”
A good Toast,
The following sentiment was given at a dill of
July dinner in South Carolina:
“The closing legacy of Andrew Jack son, —
“I leave this great people prosperous and happy”
May we never again inherit such prosperity and

From the lluff'Eo Com. AUv.
Ki.vn.w at tub Falls. —Many of otir citi
zens yesterday went to Ihe Falls, expecting to sec
a brilliant display of British troops, who it was
said were to bo concentrated, for the purpose of
being reviewed by Earl Durham. They weto
not disappointed in the review, lull (ho number ol
men on die ground was much loss than had been
anticipated, probably not exceeding GOO or 800
in ail: On reaching the Bavilion about eleven,
wc found tlio troops, consisting of tlio lO.i regi,
mcnl, a part of the S4th and a company of iho
Dragoon Guards, paraded in tlio open level field
in front of lire house. Beside tho troops, we have
mentioned there was on the field a small parly of
Flying Artillery, and a few Lancers on guaid.
These troops made a very handsome appear- |
anco, and among them wore many veterans who j
had served in Egypt and throughout the Benin- j
Hular war. Tho brass helmets of the Guards are (
beautiful and classical, but on such a day as yes.
lerduy, must have been rather uncomfortable.
A little after It, tho Countess of Durham, ac
companied by several ladies, came on the ground.
The Countess now would hardly come up io By
ron’s description ot her when Lady Elizabeth
Grey, but she is still a very woman.
Soon after tho ladies made Choir appearance,
tho Governor dressed as a general officer, and
wearing tho insignia of the mder of Bath, accom
panied by Sir John Colborne, and Admiral Sir
Charles Bagel, and a brilliant f-'atf, rode, into tho
field and took his station directly in front of lire
line. Tho review was managed as such tilings
usually aie, and concluded with a sham light, in
which the 43d displayed considerable skill in m
nceuvering and tiring. Tho soldiers, however, |
attracted liitlo attention. They were mere ma
chines, and oil eyes were directed to him who
could pul them in motion, and diicct them al
will.
Tho Earl of Durham is about the middle height,
very young looking, with rather a pleasant ex
pression ol countenance, but there is nothing in
his appearance strongly marked, or indicative of
the great abilities be is reputed to possess. The
general east of his features struck us as being de
cidedly Yankee. His face is tolerable full, but
has noihing of the usual bluff, English look.
A very large number ol spectators, Canadians
and Americans, were on the ground, and among
.Lein wc noticed a tolerable prinkling ol Arncn.

Most Horrible.
There has seldom come within our notici, a

A black woman, named Larah Henry, having, it

curt, without even cracking the skull. An in
stance in which the skull of a boy resisted a very
heavy weight, falling with much force on it, not
long since came under our observation. The Imy
was in a blacksmith's shop, sitting on the hearth,
immediately in front of the fire. A very heavy

the gentlemen regaled themselves with whis

ot cakes and wine, taking the poolings off
with their finger nails. Concluding lo dance,
the gentleman stopped up to a young lady who
was busily employed in disposal ’ of an
enormous potatoo and politely ticked her if
she would dance with him in a set just form

The balmy breeze blows blithe and bland,
And bears Pulaski from tiro land;
Pond are their hopes, as swilt from view
Speed that devoted, death doomed crew—
So calm their hearts, so light their air,
They only view the scene so fair,
Nor deem that'nealli this proud array.
Death’s subtle spy lurks o’er their way.
Day's monarch gone, lov'd Luna’s light;
Sheds round abeam more soft than bright,
As if to gild that day’s calm close,
\nd lure the weary to repose.
And soon in Morpheus’s mantle roll’d,
Each female fair, and man more bold,
And child-hood too, with fast closed eye,
All, in unconscious slumber lie.
What, sudden sound just meets llieir ear,
Telling of (oil, and woo, and fear 1—
Great God ! and L llieir death-hour near 7
Ami must tlieii couches lie llieir hier !
Seme sleeping sink, nor wake lo know
The throhhings of the death-pang’s war;
Sonic clutch lire wreck with hold dsnair,
And others ocean’s billows dare.
But gaze not, e’en with fancy’s eye,
Where yonder woe- worn pilgrims lie,
The youthful wife you there may trace,
Lack'd in her husbands, fast embrace !
A mother’s neck, with desperate grasp,
That infant’s tiny lingers clasp—
And o’er their deep and gloomy grave,
Shall ever roll the daik blue wave.
But God of love ! thy signet real
A remnant marks for luluie weal—
And snatch’d from out that sinking ma
in .safely o’er the sea they pass.
Ah ! who can paint tiie smothered j >y,
The bliss almost '.vilhoul alloy,
Os her who finds her more than life,
And still may claim the name of wife
.She deems him risen from the grave,
She owns Jehovah's power to tan;
She prays she may not now adorn.

I come the cstabll led relation between Mr. i

! and with what or with whom he contends is a 1
; matter of entirely secondary import, so that j
the weapon, the adversary, and the contest j
waged, be so appointed as fully to develope
his astonishing powers In all probability he
is unconscious of this; though I have seen few
privileged persons who were ignorant cl' their
prerogative. I doubt nut 111 it for purity he is
upon fair average [ground with his cotcmpo
raries; but 1 doubt just as little that his im
munities, in whatever they may he founded,
are more freely used, and more fully tolerated,
than the same exercise of the same license
would be, in any other statesman in the coun
try. lam far from conceiving, however, that
Mr. Calhoun is at all conscious ul having chan
ged his position. The more I contemplate
this great statesman, in many respects the most
extraordinary hi the country, and in all re
spects u study, the more 1 am satisfied that he
is ol that class o( enthusiasts which has (hr
nislied to the World so many self imagined '
Messiahs; and 1 would as soon believe dial
iirothers or Matthias doubted his own divinity,
as that Mr. Calhoun could he brought either
to suspect himself of a possibility to change,
or entertain even a momentary doubt of his
perpetual and unerring consistency. Hence
his unrivalled influence on the imaginations of
others. Ii is remarked by Sir Walter Scott of
an illustrious Charlatan, (a greater man by far
than any of this age,) that, being first the victim, j
of his turn dt In si on, the deception of others 1
was of easy achievement. If the Arabian Im
postor had doubted his own plenary inspira

as a prophet in the Cast! The vast, and sha
dowy outline, combined with the intensity,
sell reliance, rapidity perseverance, flexibility,
and subtleness, which complete the picture
of this great man, ara well calculated to exalt
him into elevated contrast with ordinary mind-,

grandeur uppn the imaginations of those who
are regarding his course. But there, unfortu
nately, the impression must end. Niither
the ajj'cctions nor thn confidence of his country
are for .Mr. Calhoun; though in noticing the
•act, I iinM forbear to participate in the con
clusion, ko far as it involves an impeachment
ol his purity. Not being its champion, I for.
Ik a- to be its assailant; though I must say that
I should he the last to be surprised if, during
the current I residential term, he were tonnd
supporting the charter of a general bank of
has own propo ing, and iso vindicating his con
sistency in tin- act as to command the conli.
dense ol some and the guarantee of others.
Indeed, so far from beingMirprised that Mr.
Calhoun should leluru to a support id’ a Uni
ted fi ales Man k, 1 now leel myself fully au
thorized, from liia own showing,to anticipate
it wi h confidence.— In his speech of the 22d
of March last, in reply to Mr. Webster, he
says. “ I'hc only practical alle.nxu.livc was at
that period !■ tv. ecu a league of State banks
and a bank of the United Slates, as the fiscal
agent of the government. I preferred them,
as Ido now, the latter to the former,” ike.
Afier the late overwhelming vole against the
reconsideration of die rejected Independent
Treasury bill, I appeal to Mr. Calhoun, in the
spirit of fiankness, to say what now is the re
maining “ alternative!” 'll ho docs not see it
now, the coming fall (.-lections will convince
him, an.l I shall call upon him to rot urn loins
ancient nil ; pa, tec, to his early and first love,
a limit 01 tin; United fcJiaieg. This is the res
medy which J promised in my last to auggor.l
1 for a currency variously depreciated; and 1
call upon Mr, Calhoun to witness that it is
both cUi nurd and safe. In Ins speech on the
| removal of the doposites, Kith January, 1884,
j lie ray,-: “7Vie Bank has been an indispen
