McDonal<l--Sou<h Carolina —Geoigl«“>
Read.
W« have again and again charged and ad
duced evidence in anpport of the ch "«”
that it ia the purpose of the Rhettitas an c-
Donald.te. in Georgia !O urge Carolina lo aecea
eioo with the hope of draggmg Georgia after
her—and if they aoc-eed in elec.ing MoDom
ALD they are pledged to co operate with Son h
Carolina io sec .rsioa and the formation of a
Southern Confederacy.
In farther pro rfof theie charges we beg to
submit the fo’iowin? letter from one of the
clan now in Georgia (A'lanta) io his
friend in Charleston, and beg the people ot
Georgia to give it a c.lm and dispassionate
consideration, and then determine whether they
will endorse’hia p.an of hitching Georgia to
the lead o r South Carolina, by electing Charles
J. McDonald Goeo’nor ! The question is
with the voters of Georgia, and they must de
cide itat the ballot box.
From the Charleston Mercury,
Extractor a Letter fans a Carolinian, now in
Georgia ; “It ia with extreme regret and pain, that
I observe through the Cnartestou pipers, what I re

Being still as deeply interested in the cause it
which -south Carodna is engaged, as if I was still

apart from their petfx: sincerity, to be regarded at
with *ut tie least de ree of prtj tdice.

No such thing is aoiug to occur. Virginia—no, 1
beg her purd.m— Virginia’s last Legislature has, re
cently, made the last will and testament on tbe sub
j*cr. She may, or she may no<, hereafter elect those
who will deatmy tbit decision, or, at east, add a
codicil. The Sou*hern Kights men of Georgia, I
know, are intensely anxious that South Cardin’*
should take the initiativ-*, and secede aa early as
possible. What mty b-* the result of the co oing
elections here, is uncertain but in “ either fortune,”
Carolina ought to act. If the Union party keep tbe
ascendancy, Georgia, cannot recover under tw
years. Should the Southern Rights party succeed,
then you have, at once, the co-op-irafion so much ds-
Wied, kit not too much 10-ing sight of the great
faun la ion of the doctrine of secession, vis: State
Sovereignty, to insist so strongly upon the absolute
necessity of co-operation 7
“Col. J. M. Calhoun, in his acceptance of a Union
nomination for Senator, from the 3l?t dis net of this
State, says—• Co iM South Carolina obtain the co
operation of Georgia -he would secede,’ dec. The
pr«i*s at the Nor«h are extremely anxious for the
elec ion of Mr Crb, in hope, no doubt, of its re
sulting in the effect of keepi >g South Carodaa f-om
acting low. And, if not now, wuen?..; Perhaps,
never.
The Union party, hare, are in dread of the elec
lion of Ex Governor .McDunill. If we elect him,
as 1 bare said above, South Carolina has co-opera
tion at orce : if we tail, will she wait two years, not
knowing what will be the result then ?

, Correspondence of the Chronicle and Sentinel
Canvass in the 4th District.
McDowough, August sth 1951.
i To-day the canvass in tho 4th Congressional
District was opened by a discussion in thie
place, between Col. Charles Murphey, the Con
stitutional Union candidate, and Col. John D.
Stell, a “real live Fire t-ater.” The day was
( fair and pleasant, and both parties having ap
pointed it to make a nuinination of candidates
for the Legislature, a large “turnout I’of 1 ’of the
people was the consequence. The Union men
’ were anxious to witness the rencounter, while
the Fire Eaters looked for all the world, as if
1 they “had been sent fur snd couldn’t come ’
The former feel and know that they are engaged
m a great and g orious cause, nothing less than
the preservation ot the Government against the
ruthless assaults of Northern fanatics and the
secret conspiracies of southern disuniunists—
while the masses of the Southern Rights party
Iceland know that their leaders are lor disunion
—and oeing themselves opposed to ii t they don’t
know what to do ; many of these, however, will
give their votes tor the Union candidates and say
nothing about it, because they are certain by so
doing no “harm wtU come ot it,” and they are
apprehensive as to the results, should they elect
the Fire Eaters to office. Col. Murphy led off in
t cairn and argumentative speech for an hour.
He reviewed the Compromise measures, and
□bowed conclusively that the December con ven
*iun did not require the people of Georgia to
submit to '‘disgrace and degradation,” when as
their organ, it agreed to abi :e by the measuies of
adjustment. He told the people that he stood
upon the Georgia Platform, and he was ready
ind willing to co-operatc with a l who stood be
side him, whatever may have been their politi
cal associations heretofore. That if the people
us Georgia had united and all planted them
selves upon the preamb e and resolu ions of the
Convention end tho other Southern Slates had
taken the same position, the slavery agitation
would hive died away, and peace and quiet
would have been restored to a distracted country.
Hut no, this did not suit the agitators either
North or South—tor men, “Othello’s occupa
tion would have been gone”—the abolitionist
would have lost his drink and his meat and tne
Southerndisunionist would have had no “fire to
eat.” Hence a party had been organized in
Georgia tn opposition to the action ol me Con
vention, under as many different names as there
are counties, and with professed ob eels as nu
merous as the Locusts of Egypt—while tha true
one was disunion.
1 here is no possible chance to satisfy these
restless and discontented spirits short ol a dis
colutionof me Union. F,r whim in Georgia,
they (as a party) du not have the courage to iace
the music and openly avow their true sentiments,
yet they “pat South Carolina on the back” and
encourage her in every possible shape, manner
and form to secede. They promise her “aid
and comlurt” in the hour of distress. And
when McDonald in his letter to Charleston sta
ted that “they need not expect Georgia to help
her” ho cetvainly forgot that the “muskets and
daggers,” commanded by Capt Waiters of Jas
per, the*’bayonets” by Capl. Lawton, of Scriv
ca and the “ Colli a Regiment” by Capt: Col
quitt, ol Muscogee, was uli pledged. In speak
ing of the inconMsteacies of tne File Eaters,
and to show mat they were determined not to be
satisfied, hu said that some of them had so far
forgotten their duiy l and lost their patriotism,
that they had said that were they in Congress,
they would vote to repeal the fugitive slave
law. What would Greeley, Giddings, Root, and
the whole “abolition pack” say to such a decla
ration? Would thsy not give the right hand of
leiiowship to a man who entertains and express
es such sentiments 7 Wumd they nut rejoice to
meet him upon the floor of Congress? And
yet, Messrs Editors, tho Fire Eaters of the 4th
Congressional District in Georgia are running a
man tor a scat in mu iiads of our Naiioi.al Leg
islature, who openiy dec. »red not two months
ago, that “11 he were in Congress he would vote
to repeal the fugitive stave law.”
Will the people of the 4th District endorse this
sentiment by voting for Col. Sull. We shall
see.
Col. Stell followed in a speech of an hour, in
which he took occasion to denounce must sav
agely the Compromise measures. The action
ol the December Convention didn’t suit him—
and Cobb he couid’t stand. In short, he seenud
to be dL-satisficd with everything and every
body-even with himseif-fur he tuid me people
that ho had said and he presumed Col. Murphy
had alluded to him, that If he were in Congress
he would vote to repeal the fugitive slave law,
but then it was said in a moment of anger, and if
t ley, the people, would forgive him he would do
su no more. Just then 1 heard an old gen
tleman say he wouldn’t like to trust him—fur, if
h«t went to Congress he might get “mad,” and
ma ' fit of madness” no might "fear things to
pieces” so they couldn't be mended. The peo
ple had belter let him remain at home, where he
can do no harm, even though he should get a mad.”
Nuw,Messrs. Eh tors, what sort of a party is
this Southern Rignta party? Jus’, think ol if,
Smythe, (one ol «heir kadi g editois) in lugusta
pleading the ‘ Baby” to his turrncr opinions, and
otell, (thiir c.n J:or Congress,) in McDon
ough, plead! ig “inadite s,” sod nskinj the peo
ple lo lurgive him. My ow t opinion is, that the
whole concern —‘Lock, b:»« * and Barrel,”
“Horse foot and Dragoons”— tn>m Alt Donald
down to David C. Uambpeil* outfit to “silo me
plea oi Insanity” and throw themselves up«»n
the mercy oi the country,—and i! some of them
would place themselves uyder the treatment of
Dr. (ircen, about two mucs from Mit ledger Uie,
it wo )id oe a great advantage to themselves an I
the country.
Cui. Murphy rejoined in a speech of twenty
minutes—during winch time he made “ me
wool fly.” He used the M»con Disunion Con
vention with gluvelcss hands and the Nashville
conclave did not escape. Os both of these. Col.
Stell was s member, and was on the cummitice
that reported the resolutions at the Macon Meet*
mg; one of which requested our Senators
■nd Representatives in Congicss to withdraw
and come ho oe, in the event the Governor
called a Convention and unite with their con
stituents in consultation and action.
And yet, Messrs. Editors, don’t you recollect
how Messrs. I’ooinbs, Stephens and Dawson
were abused for going to the December Conven
tion? Col. Murphy dissected the letter of Mc-
Donald to the Charleston Meeting, which had
been read by Col. Stcfi. It was necessary said he.
[hat McDonald should write; fur Rhett was blow
mg his “bugle” too loud, ha sounds were begin
ning to be neard upon this side of the savan
nah, and the people were awakening to the “co
alition” between the Diauniomats of Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.
The true meaning of that letter, when deci
phered said he, *‘ Hold Rhett! hold I or
you will ‘krn’ck all the fat in ’he fire,' on this
side ot the River. Wait until after the election,
and then if 1 am elected, tho people ot Georgia
will be committed, and then you may blow
your buele as loud as y>u please and cut up
such other ‘ fantastic tricks,’ as to you may
seem meet. But ifyju persist in the courss you
are now pursuing, you will ‘let the cat out M
the bag,’ and your a!ties in Georgia will be
sunk bo deep beneath popular indignation, on
the Ist Monday in October, ' that the hand ot
resurrection will never reach them? ”
During his speech, Col. Murphy was fre
quently interrupted oy the enthusiastic applause
us the large and respectable audience whom he
addressed, wmle not a solitary cheer greeted his
opponent during the whole ot his speech. —
“ Straws show which way the wind blows.”
The truth Is, the people of Henry are satisfied
with the “ Union as it is, and the Constitution
as it Is.” They elected Uaion delegates to the
Convention by 600 majority, and they will sus
ta* n »he action of that Convention bv as large it
not a larger majority—not by vo’ing for nen
who give lo it an unwilling approval—but by
electing men who believe thee invention did right
and who give to its “platform” the sanction of
their hearts and the support of their heads.
You may set down Cobb an i Murphy's ma
jority in Che 4th District at three thousand—
certain. Henry.

Villainous Affair. — We understand that

was arres'ed on Tuesday evening last, uprn
*he autnu’ity of a di-patch from Macon, for
stealing and selling a negro (owned bv Mr. J.

The particulars of this case, as we earn them,
are, that the boy was originally stolen in South
Carolina about nine yea s ago. lie was brought
to an sold in this ci»y to the late John M. Tur
ner, *ho, after owning him about six yeais.
sold him to Mr. J. S. Green, who has cwned
him near three years. The boy was inveigled
off in April last, by Mr. J Gallagher (who
represented his name to be James Y’oung) and
sold him in Macon to .Mr. Benj Fort, who
subsequently sold him to Maj J. H. Howard
of Co ambus. The bov ranaway from Mi| 11.

1 he Crops.
i Extract of a letter from a correspondent
traveling in the “ up count y
Dalton A»ig. 6. 1851.
“ Rain at last! A fit rone of tbe longest droughts
ever suffered in this country, we were yes erday vis
ited with copicua a d heavy rains all along tbe line
, g< the Western and Atlantic R’ilroad from Atlanta to
Chattanooga. In the neighborhood of Cartersville,
the water fell in torrents, accompanied by thunder
and lightning; and in some places 1 notice I fields cf
bo b cotion Bud corn badly flooded and “ washing.”
C'.rn is, uenerally, not bo far advanced but that
some benefit will be derived from the e ‘‘lat.er
rains but irany oj the early crops are injured be
y<»n I gpdrmptiou by 'he draught. Cotton generally
lotos very we I, aud is forward, though dwarf! I.. —
If heat has turned out fi >ely as regards quantity •
but ihe great oroval ncc oi smut, cockle and cbea'
detracts not a little from its mu-ket value. Our far
mers g n* iai|y, are not sufficiently careful either in
procuring seed, vowing harvesting or prep iriug th ir
wheat f,r market, und can never expect to make
wheat u sure and profi’ab e crop until they amend
their practice in these paiticulars. No goo I farmer,
who val ics bis reputauon as such, ought to raise lest
than <0 bushels oi wh at to the acre; wheieas
Die majority do not raise over 10 or 12 b”shels.—
Fruit of all kinds ia very abundant, Lut it has not
grown to full size, owin/ to the dry sensou. U;on
the whole, thee* rn crops of Middle and Upper Geor
ifiar aud Lower East Terjnej-se may be set down at
below the average, but the great abundance < f wheat
corn and oHs in Upper East Tennessee will mor*
<han supply the deficiency. D.
The Drought —The C^ops— Tne follow

gloomy nccoun? of the crops in that section—
an account which we are assured on all bands
will apply with equal truth to almost every
part us North Alibsissippi and WeatTenoea

Lamar, Miss,, Ati£. 2. 1851.
“Mr. Editor :—T he condition and prospect
of the croua is a subject of interest doubtless
to your numerous readers. We are still of
fering f'otn a drought of ed se
verity und duration. The Colton and Corn
crops were never more unpromising than a»
the present time. The season uso faradvanc
d *hat the corn crop is pa»t recovery- Rain
might improve the cotton crop lo some limited
extent, but the yield in this region will be
small beyond doubt. 1 know it has grown in
to an adage among phnters, *‘a dry year for a
cotton crop,” but it will not hold good this
rear. This season the fresh and coVon landt*
only can produce any thing like a crop. It is
ob/iousiy true Hat in many portions of the
cotton region, the lands that have been ciearec
f,r several years, have been planted continu
otisly in cotton, and have, as a consequence
become greatly exhausted and are th *r* furs in
capabh of standing such a drought aa wo have
had this sea-on From all accounts, it ta evi
dent. that the drought has not only been unpre
cedented m ita duration but unparalleled in
its extent; and it still continues with no pros
pect of rain. Should, therefore, the rive r
lands yield, as anucipa ed, a large crop, the
aggregate ol the cotton crop ( or the reasons
indicate!') wi I not exceed. I n equal- the de

Crops—Weather—The Holly Spring?
(Miss.) Gazri e, of the 25tb ult., eays:
Tbe rains la»t week revive 1 tue crops in many
places, yet still the count! y is suffering very much
The strictest ecooemy will be necessary with th*
grain crops cf th ; s cou”try, and then we fear there
will be a deficiency that wilt be fell extet giveiy.
Tho fallowing is from tbe Jefferson (Texas)
Herald, ot the 22J ult:
The corn crop is ruined by the drought, beyond
doubt. Then*, wi l not be a third of an average crop
made in this section. Cottoi is damaged beyond re
puation; and unless we have aranin wo week?
fioin this date, the crop will perhaps not exceed five
h-nd red pounds per acre.
The Naichi ochee (La) Chronicle, of the
19ih ult., says:
We are strry to report th* weaiinr—’ike onr’elf
—entirely witbout chaoye. Wedono recolectever
to have experience l such n seae n of drought. The
corn crips of «be ptrish ar, pari Irri/a’.ion. We
are yet to ba informed < f the planter who will make
a sufficiency of corn to meet tbe necessary require
merits of his plantaiion. The cotton crops, with few
exception’, are very inferior. ’Tis true, favorable
seasons, even now, will go far to ameliorate tbe pms
p cts of the planters, and a propitious autumn may
yet k’lsdden the hearts tn.i gild their pockets,

We learn that in some parts of Greene, Tusca’oo

almost entirely destroyed. >n some lar-e fields
scarcely a peck of nubbins to the acre can be ga

the Cotton trade, an I the tranractiens, which have
been confined principally to the demand for home
corsumplion, for the Factories of ibis State an I

We quote Fair at 8 cents; Middling Pair to Pair,
7| a 75 ; Good Middling, 75, and Middling 7 cents.
It is proper, however, to remark, that Factors exhibit
little disp sition to sell at these rates, at which the

REMARKS —We have passed the lowest point
of dullness in business, and trade to be revi
ving. Indeed we have observed more show of buxi
neas along tbe tide walks than for some weeks pre
vious.
GROCERIES.—We have no change to note m
any of the leading articles of Groceries, except sack
Salt, which has advanced 5 cents per sick, by the
quant : ty. The stocks of SUGAR, COFFEE, MO
LASSES, &c., are ample for the demand, and as
most of our dealers a r e now at the North, we may
soon expect large additions to tbe present slocks
e would refer to our quotations for tbe curren*
rates.
BACON. —The heavy demand for this article has
reduced the stock, and as it his advanced in Bilti
more and New Orleans, holders are looking to high
er prices >ere.
BAGGING AND ROPF.—Tbe demand contin
ues to increase, and prices are firmly maintained. —
See quotations.
GRAIN.—The excessive drought continues to
effect the vdue of Corn, and higher prices are confi
dently anticipited. Wheat finds ready sale at SI to
$1.25, according to quality.
EXCH A NGE. —Checks on the North continue at
j per cent prem.
FREIGHTS —The river is again quite low, and
navigation difficult. The rate f r Cotton is 50 cents
per bale to Charleston and Ssvanmh.
CHARLESTON, August 12 —< 'otton.— There
was more animation in tbe Cotton market yesier tay
than fur seme lime back, and the very limited stock
on sale enabled holders to realize rather better prices,
amountingin some instances to an improvement of|c.
Some 659 bales were sold at prices ranging from 6 to
