I*3o Tut: Cotton Chop.— The hopes of the planter have thus fur been fully realised, and the prospect of an abundant cropare ofthe most flattering nature. During the last fortnight the frequent showers of rain have greatelv im proved the corn, hut some fears are entcrained that the growth of the cotton will be too luxu riant, and that it will in consequence cast its fruit. Many planters in this neigborhood have ulraudy commenced gathering their crops. W o w ere presented last week w ith some grow n on Bcllviile plantation, by our friend Col. C. Hop kins, which is of a very superior quality, and are informed Ins crop will lie very abundant. Notwithstanding the fall in the price of this great staple (and our country, the large quantity grown this year will make ample amends. The State Rights Party of Bibb county have nominated Isaac G. Seymour for the Semite; and A. 11. Chappell, Roland Bivins, and Ber ry Rogers, for the Representative branch, in the next I.legislature.

The Grand Lottery. —We have seen it sta ted in several papers that there was no law to authorize the Lottery for the diposition of that most valuable properly in New Orleans. That 11 large number condemn Lotteries is very cer tain ; but that they should resort to sue h sub terfuges and misrepresentations to create dis trust in,the public mind, is extraordinary. We say nothing of the morality of Lotteries : but it is clear that the managers have an un doubted legal right as is shown in the opinion of the Hon. Joseph M. White of Florida, which we published in the last Herald. They have made an arrangement to deposit the whole sum paid for every ticket in one of the best banksof New Orleans, subject to the order of the Cashiers, and themselves jointly, to be drawing when life money is paid for the titles of the property. Under these ctrcuin stances, those who have or maytpurehase, have liotmia to Tear. Individuals w ishing tojpifrchase tickets in the above lottery had better do so immediate ly.

We had returns yesterday from 43 Counties, entbraceing nearly all of East and Middle with some portions of West Tennes see. The aggregate vote of these counties is for Pm. k 36,256; for Cannon 28.922. leaving Pole a majority of 7329. Nine members of < tongress arc reported as elected, o f whom five are Whigs and sot r Administration, two of the latter a clear gain. Four Congressional Districts to hear from. There is scarcely a doubt qf Pole’s election by seveial thousand majority—but we cannot yet tell what the majority of the Congressional Delegation will be. Noam Carolina.— The election, jn four of the N. Carolina Congressional districts, has re sulted in th<\ following re elections: Edward Stan!t4-W.) M. T. Hawkins, (V. L.) Charles Shepterd, (Sub Treasury ) Jesse A. iiyntim. (V.U.) Mr. Shepherd was elected to the last Congress asa Whig, but in consequence of his Sub Treasury views, he was opposed, this lime, by a Whig. Five districts remain to be heard . from Rayner, (W.) will, it issaid, beat Sawyer, the late. Van lliircn member, who was also elected to,the last Congress as a Whig. The Crops. —Account.-; float every section of our country announce the fact that the land has not produced as abundantly for the last twenty years as it has he present season. 80 that, notwithstanding all the fears and prophe sies of evil, and what is more, notwithstanding our ingratitude to the Author ofevery good and perfect gift, we have a prospect of being adund antly supplied with the necessaries of life.— Compared with this great object, it is hut of lit tle moment, should foreign articles of luxury bear a high price. Our pride may suffer if we are coin"c!ied to wear clothes of a course or unfashionable texture, but we may still live, and live very comfortably too. The only class who muriner, because the tabors of the hus bandman have been so largely blessed, is made up of those who are in the habit of grinding the faces of the poor by an iniquitous moßoply of bread-stuffs. For the sorrows of monopo lists, we frankly confess that we feel very little sympathy. Their prosperity is so intimately connected with the sufferings and ruin of the 1 adoring class of community, that we are quite willing that it should experianee a very sensi ble diminution. There arc inodes of procur ing an horicst subsistence to which they may j resort in rase of ta'lremity, to the great im provement of their own morals and the relief of their indigent neighbors. i, „■ . .. igj . um 1— For the Herald. REDUCTION. We have endeavored toshow the importance of preseviag the Fcdernl basis. It ought not, however to be diguised, lli.it there is a strong and growing party in the State opposed to it ; and that if the present amendment Is not rati fied, no future Con vention, in all probability, will be able to retain it. The white basis is decidedly preferred in those Counties in which the hluek population does not preponderate, and though in a minority now, the time is not far distant u hen they w ill. become the majority. This party, more from political viewsthan any other, cooperated ill favorof Reduction on the plan now submitted. Had they united with the large counties, a very different system would hate been imposed on the country. One that would have divested the Eastern District of all political power, and placed it under the iron rule of a majority —a despotism more in tolerable than that of the Schah's of Persia. And yet. such is the force of party prejudice, there are politicians among us, who would op pose Ratification, merely because in the classi fication of Counties, a little more political pow er is imparted to the Union Party than of right belongs to them—thereby immilating that narrow minded policy, that they so pointedly condemn in their opponents, and which is so prejudicial to the public weal. Blit to return. The great object of the large counties, or what may be more properly termed the Central Part y, is to increase their present power. They constitute now by far the most numerous body —and tiio’ 111 favour of Reduction they are opposed to the plan submitted for Ratification by the Convention. They contend llmt reduc tion without equalization is subsersive oftheir rights—that no Reduction can be equal that is not formed on Population- thut to allow to each County one Representative, nml to every two Counties, one Senator, would lie Reduction without equalization, and sooner Ilian submit to such an unequal distribution of political pow er, they will oppose Ratification, and leave to posterity the correction of those evils which they sensibly feel and acknowledge, but have not the p itriotism to remedy. In other words, tin y will only consent to that system of Re duction, which will give them a controlling influence in both branches of the Legislature and forever place at the mercy of a majority the 1 destinies of the St ate. But is it true that the rights of the large Counties will be com promised by the proposed amendment of the Constitution? Will their power be less ? It is 110t.p1 ('tended that lliere will he any loss of in fluence in the Senate. That body being formed on the basis of territory, they will stand us they now do, on a perfect equality with the small bounties. It is only in the other branch, therefore, that we must look for inequality.— And how do the large Counties stand there? Their present infltn nee in the liotish is derived ffom their superiority in population, and will it be less if the amendment is Ratified? Does not population now form the basis of the pop ular hra :eh and if numbers controlled in the Old, will it not do so in the new system ? The Union Party, who composed the ma jority in the late Convention, alike insensible to the claim i of posterity or the dictates of pa triotism, tbo’ favorable to the proposed system of Reduction, would risk the failour ol the measure, sooner than submit to any classifiea lion of the Counties which would net give to their party a preponderating influence in the Legislature. This influence, it*s admitted on all hands will be of brief continuance, and yet such is the love of political power, that rather than part with it even for a limited lime, they will forego present and future benefit to the Country. But will the people take no interest in the matter ? will they permit the foods of party to interfere with the public good 1 will they not rally to the Polls on the first .Monday in October next, and uniting in favor of Ratifi cation, secure to themselves and posterity the benefits thus presented for their acceptance.

T have no particular choice, vocal or instrumental, either, give me greaydeasurc and throw around me a spell of unspeakable delight. Just as I had drawn on my night cap and laid my weared head upon the pil low, I heard a party of seicnaders near, and throwing up tlie sash of my window, listen ed to the enchanting music of the party. I was’quite in extacy. Having travelled all day and just arrived in the Macon stage, it was more than I expected to be honored with a call from the serenading party. Music seems to be much cultivated in your city —it is an evidence of refined feeling, and shows that the Morus Multicauiis fever h- s not entirely absorbed the attention of the citizens of this part of the country. The party performed admirably, upon the various instruments —many of which I had never heard before. I regret that cir cumstances compel me to depart so soon—it certainly deprives ineof much pleasure, in not being able again to hear the performance of this promising association. Practice alone is wanting to make them equal if not superior to manyoi the crack bands of other cities. Wish ing them much pleasure in their social enjoy ments, I bid them adieu, for I am off, as the fiy said, in the Savannah stage, to morrow morning. A STRANGER. City Hotel, Tuesday night. A woman while washing the second story win dows of a house near the corner of Lombard street and Centre Market Space, li v.hnnre, on Saturday last, fell out of a window on the av.-ning below, breaking it through, and falling to the pavement. 011 picking her up she was found to be “ more scared than bust.” The Postmaster General having been called to his paternal mansion by the dangerous ißness of his fatlur, ail his powers and duties devolve during his abstnre, npor S R.

Tbe editor says, that the author of the letter was a Professor in one of the New England colleges hill has been some time at the south on account of hit health’ and to facilitate some researches luris making on the subject of Natural History. He expresses himself strongly. He no Jmibt /erf.t strongly indignant when he eon templates themornl and |aiUtienl ruin so ardently •ought lobe e.onsumatad by the iueondiory efl'orts of the abolitionists. Os the perfect integrity of his character, of his love end real for the truth, and of his talent for accurutaand discriminating observation there is, and can he, hut one opinion with those who know him We publish ‘the following nxtrncts : “As respects the actual rendition of the negroes held in bondage I cannot find language toexpress my contempt and abhorrence of the “blackness ofdnrk iiess” of the falsehoods habitually flowing from the abolition pr-ssea and from the foul mouths ofthe abolition lecturers ofthe north. “The bugbear stories of negro suffering with which they frighten children of every age and ‘lend captive silly woman 1 are (909 per thousand of them) lies, most infamous tics. 1 have not yet seen an unkind look or heard an unkind word from a white man to a black one. I have w atched the intcrcouvco of the two races whenever 1 I'fhild see it in the streets, on the wharves, in the stores, hotels, private houses and I fully believe (strange ns may seem the opinion) that so ferns happiness consists in the absence of suffering the slave population oflliis country is happier than the free population. It would not be the happiness j for you and me, but it is sueh to them. “But they are deprived of the menus of religious in struction, say the abolitionists. As n comment on this particular falsehood, I w ill say that ill this city there arc two churches appropriated to the blacks: the ministers themselves being black aln one of these clmrehes there are over two thousand communicants, m fiir ol her over twelve hundred. I have bepn to j both and seen the congregations as well dressed as (and considerable more finely than) the white ones. They havelheir Sunday school taughtl>y white.men ‘ and woman. And their instruction is ns good and as orthodox ns that given at uiiy Sunday school in New England. “It is true that their instruction is oral. Thunks to the abolitionists, they are not now as formerly ‘taught to read. But yel I know of many who d ’ , read, and when the servants of my hoarding house appear with a book, oil one takes it aw ay. nml I un j demand that generally there is no interference in such coses. I must ardently desire that the condition of men, black or white, nil over the, globe .should be improved.—but until I can see my way more clearly j than I now do, I would still say with St. Paul, ‘Slaves j (ilmilui) be obedient to your masters. 1 The Charlatan Mercury denounces in strong terms the system of borrowing money from abroad, which has been indulged in lo so great an extent by tbe va rious Slates of tin- Union. Tlioedi tor observes : “ The firm and direct effect of tbe sudden intro duction into any Slate of n large amount of circulat ing capital from abroad is ofnzcossity A “sudden and dangerous enlargement ofthe currency of such Slate. The money borrowing is deposited in the banks, and becomes the basis of paper issue to un amount gener ally far beyond the loan. Imagine a young Suita like Illinois or Mississippi suddenly smitten with the frenzy of development her resources,’and pouring in upon her infant population millions of foreign money. Ifilcost nothing, ifit did not bind the State in long years of servitude to her distant creditor, il would st ill be n curse, and tend more to poverty than riches. A whole State is made drunk, u spirit of gambling pervades ail business, wholesome industry is deserted for wholesale venture, the discretion, and moral feel ing of the community are lost, extravigance of hope and of living prevails every where, prices •. to an enormous tieigth, and the end of all is a genera! crash In another sense, and scarcely less directly, the Slate ;s the cause ofthis extravigance ending in ruin#viz. intbe expenditure of tin- loaji.

Louis Re publican states, on the iiitthority of a letter from Fort Nuelling, dated July 10111 iliat a most unhappy state of tifluirs exists between the Souix and Chippewnys, and, that the latter have been slaughtered in great num bers. The following is an extract of the letter:—“The Uottix niu 1 Chippoway* have line] a brush at two dillerenl points on the St. Croix and again about thirty miles above the Falls oi'Ht. Anthony. The Chippeways, just before leaving the Pillagers, I believe, had killed, at Lake Calhoun, a Souix Brave, no hour or two after sunrise. The news having spread like wild fire, the Souix about two hundred strong, left the Falls. Ilale-in-thc-duy, a Cltippewat Chief, had pushed on with his party and was not over taken. The Souix who left the falls came across a party of the Rum River Band, at tacked them about sunrise the next morn ing and killed one hundred and thirty-three men, woman and children. This was above the Falls. Big Thunder, a Souix Chief, crossed the country in pursuit ofthe Strong Ground Band of Chippeways and overtook and fought them at St. Croix. Big Tlufnder told the Sioux not to fire where the whites were, (Messrs. Atkins and McLoud’s party) and as the Chippe ways huddled round the whiles many of them thus escaped. Notwithstanding tile Sioux killed thirty-six men of die Cliippc wiiv party, and some women and children.

These, Indiana were ruptured by that ollicer at Fort Mellon, a few days since, j under the following circumstances:—The in- i telliganceof the Coloosahatchee murder was brought to Fort Mellon on thy 31st ult. hy a detachment of Dragoons. The Indians who were encamped considerable nttniMr at Fort Mellon, receiving rations &e., fled precipi tately at the sight of a mounted force, and would not return to the Foil until the Dra goons hud started back for Tumpa, a few of them then came in, and announced that the Fhief would visit the Fort on the 3d day, with some of his people to p ocure provisions. Ac cordingly, on the afternoon of the 3d’ forty live of them, men, woman, and children came, into the Fort. At a preconcerted signal, the troops ran t() their arms,dosed the galea, and surrounded the Seininoles. They made some efforts to escape, and two men broke through the line of soldiers. A volley of musquelry was poured upon them, and thby both dropped dead. The remainder then quietly surrend ered. The Klcamhoat Charleston reached the FortUvo days after the capture, and the Indi ans were at once transferred on hoard. On, the Silt, another Seminole with his wife und child were captured, making the whole amount of prisoners 48, of whom fourteen were inch.

It is not. impossible that he was present at, if not an actor in the Coloosahut hec tragedy. A Toast. —During the passage of the Great Western, on the occasion of the anniversary of her Majesty’s c conation, the following toast, among others, was proposed:— ‘ The ladieu who are now half seas orcr.” Horrid. —A wretched woman in Canada, named Delard, came behind her husband while he was kneeling at prayers, and struck him on the head with an axe, fracturing his scull in a shocking manner.
