JProipeeu of tti« Growing Crop.
Qur Mends In this iud toe adjoining States can do
us no service whieii wa toaU more highly appre
ciate, than to furnish us from time to time, through
out the eeasCn upon which we have entered, rdiablt
accounts of toe condition of the Gotten crop. Wo
would warn them, however, that the uniformity with
which planters spread reports of discouraging pros
pects—reports whioh reaoh the public allko whether
a crop of two millions or a crop of three millions of
bales is growing—causes their-statements to receive
very little credit. If on the contrary when the pros
pect is good, they would say so. and when bad they
would say so, through the press, they would furnish
information invaluable to the whole commercial world.

\ . “ Tallahassee, April 29 th.
\ We are raftering from an unusually protracted
drought for the season of the year. The stands of
Cotton have not been scoured to any great extent,
aqdaeed catinot sprout now until we have rain. The
spring has been cold and nnosnally backward and
many planters are complaining. Without rain im
mediately the stand of Cotton must be a late one.”
The foregoing account of the drought agrees cer
tainly with what we are experiencing here, as it does
with onr intelligence from many portions of Georgia.
In relation to the season, the general impression, we
. think is, that the spring has been nnnsu&lly mild,
and that but for the drought vegetation would be
well advanced.
Tho Sandersvillo Georgian, of the 3d, speaks of the
serious want of rain to and about that section of the
State. It Bays tim “ Cotton is not yet np, the com
grows slowly, and tho earth is baked hard—every
thing withering for want of rain.” The Bame paper
continues: " To make up the measure of misfortune
and bad luck, wo have had cold nights and mornings,
and what cotton is up, has taken what the farmers
call 1 sore shins,’ at a considerable rate. We have
heard it stated that frost waft Been in the county two
mornings the past week, it has done no mischief of
Itself, and perhaps the drought has preserved the
crops from more Berious harm in that respect, but the
chilliness of the atmosphere is hurtful and ii\jurtous.”
The Charleston papers speak of continued dry
weather in the vicinity of that city, and in tho lower
section of South Carolina, in conaoquenco of which
cotton planters have been compelled to suspend op
erations almost entirely. The same complaints, it is
remarked, are made by planters in many parts of
Louisiana and Mississippi. The Jackson Missiarip-
pian sayB there was a elight frost on the morning of
the 18th nlt^ in that and adjoining counties, which
resulted in great damage to the cotton crop. Many
planters have been obliged to plant again.
The Albany Patriot, of tho 29th, sayB they had a
shower of rain on the Monday previous, but notrsuffl-
cient to reach the roots of cotton or corn. Since the
shower, the weather has been pleasant, with cool
mornings and evenings. For two or three days pre
vious the heat was extreme, the mercury indicating
90 degrees In the shade. Those planters whose cot
ton was np before the commencement of the drought,
(says the Patriot) have generally Becnred good
stands.
The Victoria, Texas, Advocate, of the 16tb, speaks
encouragingly of the drops in that vicinity, tho grass
being well up, and the country generally covered with
flowers of every kind. Corn is np from two to ten
inoheshigli.

Hnt -_in the namt and behalf of the De Kalb Riflemen It

grateful thanks for this beautiful and coitiy present.
And, 8if, this banner It indeed eloquent In Its own behalf.
It npeaka the language of patriotism and of truth. On the

ported by the eternal pillars of Justice, Wisdom, and Hod-

whole carries back the patriotic mind upon the lightning
wings of memory to the dark night of despotism which
bang like a funeral pall over our devoted land ; but which
l^moo aaddenly Illuminated by the nnlon of those resplen

Brunswick Stock.
The stock of the Brunswick Laud Company was
selling in New York last Saturday at 12& cents on the
dollar. When firat brought into the market, some
months Bince, it was quoted at, we think, 23 cents.—
It is unfortunate that the Company did not dispose
of all Its Btook at that time. The confidence of the
Wall-st. operators in the success of the speculation,
never probably very great, has lately been consider
ably shaken.
We should remark that tho Brunswick Land Com
pany and tho Brunswick and Florida Railroad Com
pany are different organizations—though perhaps to
a considerable extent composed of the same parties.
So that from the failure of the Land and Lot specu
lation, it cannot necessarily be inferred that the Rail
road will not be bnllt. We have not Information from
whioh to Infer conclusively that the Railroad will fall.
Its friends, some of whom at least bavo no interest in
deceiving the public, still exhibit the atmost confi
dence ir. its success. . -

Bast Moments of Tice President King.
The Southern Republic has received'from Mr. F. K.
Beck—a kinsman of the Vice President—a brief ac
count of the last moments of Mr. Kino. It says:
“ He was quiet and resigned to the fa to which he bad
seen for some time awaited him. Shortly before six
o’clock, on Monday evening, while a few friends ware
sitting around bis bed-ride, the only ones that he
would allow in his sick room, he suddenly remarked
that he was dying. The watchers arose to their feet,
under Borne excitement, when the Colonel said—" Be
still—raako no noise—let me die quietly.’’ He re*
fbsed to have the balance of his household notified of
his dying condition. His physician came in and ex
amined him. The Colonel said to him—” Doctor, I
am dying. It seems as though I shall never get
through with it. I am dying veiy hard. Take the
pillows from under my head.” The pillows were ac
cordingly taken from nnder his head; but affording
no relief, the Doctor turned him from his back on his
side, when he died in a moment.”
Fire in Boston.—An extensive lire occurred in
Boston on the 28th, destroying a block of brick houses
in Endlcott-street, with other tenements, principally
of wood, and all occupied by poor families. Among
other bnildings burned was a bake shop In North
Margin-street, occupied by a Mr. Stevenson, from
whom was stolen $600, which had been pinned onto
the mattress of his bed. Abont fifty families were

de Janeiro j the Alabama, for Savannah *, the Marion,
for Charleston; and the Roanoke, for Norfolk and
Richmond. The Arctic takes out alxm. 200 passen
gers, including Senator Foote, of Vermont, and ek-
President Van Boren and son. The Ucayal has
been purchased by the Peruvian Government for a
war steamer. It is said Senator Foote goes out to
forward the Interests of-the Brunswick Railroad, of
which he Is President.
New York City Railroads.—An order has been
granted by Judge Mitchell, of the Supreme Court,
against the Grantees of the Eighth Avenue Railroad,
in the city of New York, to show canso why an In
junction should not'issue against that road. A like
order has been granted by the same Judge agrinst
the New York and Harlem Railroad. In tjie latter
case Daniel Gallagher, complainant, alleges that he
has often offered four hundred dollars per .car annual
ly for the same privilege which has been granted to
the Harlem Company for nothing. Both' orders are
returnable on Saturday next, toe 7th instant. The
application, in both cases, is based npon the late de
cision of Judge Edwards, which declares toe grants

Southern Recorder.—Hr. Knowles, formerly of
tho Rome Courier, has become connected with the
Southern Recorder—a fact which escaped onr atten
tion until a day or two since. As the Editor of tho
Courier, Mr. Knowles’ coarse was characterized by
a degree of ability and courtesy which must have
commanded very high respect from his readers. He
has our best wishes for his success—except of couree
so far as his success may bo involved in the success*
of the Union or Whig party.
Juvenile Criminals,—The Sixth Ward Police of
the city of New York recently captured thirteen ju

which the occupants lost nearly all their clothes and
valuables.
Liquor Law in Massachusetts.—The House of
Representative in that State, adopted an amendment
to the liquor bill before it on the 29th, making the
owners of buildings were intoxicating liquors are sold,
liable in the sum of 1300 for the first offence, and for

Suicide in Augusta.—Edmund Heard committed
snicido in Augusta, on Saturday last, by severing the
arteries of one of his legs, just above the knee. He
was said to be a worthy man. He was addicted at
times to fits of melancholly, and it was doubtless du
ring one of these he was led to tho commission of the
deed, having previously retired into a wood near by,
where his body waa found.
Dr. John 0. Calhoun, of Florida, a son of the late
Hon. John C. Calhoun, ha* recently received the

Movements of tit* “ Spirits.”
The editor of the Georgia Counem makes the fol
lowing notice of the spiritual manifestations at
pumpkin:
Considerable excitement has existed among the
" old fogies ” for several days past, originating from
tho fact that a supposed “medium ” has turned up in
the person of a negro man and a small pine table.
The “ Bhow ” is opened by four or five persons sitting
around the table with the palms of the hands resting
flat upon it. After remaining thus for fifteen or
twenty minutes the table commences moving, rap
ping, rearing np, and in fact anything it is told to do,
except whistle, sing, drink, smoke, or chew tobacco,
etc.—so we learn. We have heard of bnt one of the
* departed ’ being rapped np, and he gave such an in
coherent and unsatisfactory account of what was go
ing on be in the other world that they permit
ted him to retire early. For instance, the “ medium ”
Btated, when questioned, that Napoleon and the Duke
of Wellington had been engaged In a game of " old
sledgo ” for a quart of older, which was contained
in a large mug on the table; that Napoleon caught
the Duke cheating him by having an extra “ keered ”
in his lap; and that in the melee which followed this
discovery the table was overturned, the mag broke,
and. as a matter of coarse the cider spilled. We
don’t believe any such tales, ourselves; but so Boon
as wc get a chance, we design going over and find
who struck Billy Patterson, who throwed the last
brick, and which one of tho Dobbs boys stole Grimes’
apples.
The foregoing notice reminds ns of the account of
the conversion of the quite famous Deist and Social
ist, Robert Owen, through tho Instrumentality of
an American medium. It Is thds reported in the Lon
don Examiner:
A manifesto ofa singular description has Just been
issued by the philosopher of Lanark, addressed “ to
all governments and peopled,” having for its purpose
' * ‘’shisaoout
to announce “ a great moral revolution whlcl
to be effected for the human race, by an apparent
miracle.”
This miracle consists, says Mr. Owen, in commnnl-
cations “ most important and gratifying, which have
been made to him, In common with many more, by
invisible bat audible powers, purporting to be from
departed spirits ;” those with which Mr. Owen has
been favored coming from President Jefferson, Ben
jamin Franklin, the late Dnke of Kent, Grace Fletch
er, Mr. Owen’s “ first and most’enlightened disciple,
and several others. ' Until within the last few weeks,
Mr. Owen states that, while he -believed all things to
be eternal, he was of opinion that there wu no con
scious or personal existence after death; bnt, having
examined the history of the late “manifestations”
(spirit rappings) in America, “ through the proceed
ings of an American medium,” hft hu been “ com-
luefl,”
polled,” contrary to ltis pterions strong convictions,
“to be’ieue in a rotate conscious state of life, existing
in a refined material, or what is called a spiritual
united, and happy state, to arise from a new universal
education, or formation of character from birth, to
be bosedon truth, and conducted in accordance with
the established laws of human nature.” Mr. Owen

A sens* of delight lit each bdsom Is dwelling,
As float the purr day beam's o’er mountain and vale j
The del ofote reign of Old Winter Is broken— ♦
Tho verdure U fresh open every tree;
Of Nature’s revival toe Charm, and a token •
Of lore, oh thou Spirit of Beauty 1 to too*.
The sun looketo forth from to* balls of the morning,
And flushes theiclouds that begirt bis career ^
He welcomes toe gladness and glory, returning-
To reet on toe promts* and hope of to* year;
He fills with rich light all the belm-bfeathing flower*—
He mounts to the Benito, and laughs on the wave;
He wakes Into musle the green forest-bowers,
And gilds tho gay plalna which the broad rivera lave.
The young bird Is out on his delicate pinion—
He timidly satis In the Infinite sky;
X greeting to Hay, and her fairy dominion,
He pours on the west-wind’s fragrant sigh;
Around, above, there are peace and pleasure—
The woodlands are singing—the heaven la bright;
Tho fields are unfolding their emerald treasure,
And man’s genial spirit is soaring in light.
Alas, for my weary end care-haunted bosom 1
The spelt* of the spring-time arouse it no more;
The song In the wild-wood—the sheen of the blossom—*
The fresh-welling fountain—their roagto Is o’*r 1
Whlb’I list to the streams—when I look on the flowers,
From the wide-spreading earth—from the limitless heaven,
Thera have vanished an eloquent glory and gleam;
To my veil’d mind no more, Is the influence given,
Which coloreth life with the hues of a dream;
The bloom-purpled landscape its loveliness keepeth—
I deem that a light, as of old, gilds the wave;
But the eye of my spirit in heaviness sleepeth,
Or sees but my youth, and the visions it gave.
Yet it is not that age on my years hath descended—
’Tis not that its snow-wreaths encircle my brow |
But the newness and sweetness of Being are ended—
I feel not their love kindling witchery now!
The shadows of Death o’er my path have been sweeping—
There are those who have loved me, debarred from the
day j
The green turf Is bright, where In peace they are sleeping,
And on wings of remembrance my Boulis away.
It Is shut to the glow of this present existence—
It hears, from the r&st, a funereal strain;
And it eagerly turns to the high-soemlng distance,
Where the lost blooms of earth will be garnered again ;
Where no mildew the soft damask-rose cheek shall nourish;
Where Grief besrs no longer the poisonous sting j
Where pitiless Death no dark sceptre can flourish,
Or stain with hts blight the luxuriant spring,
It is thus that the hopes which to others are given,
Fall cold on my heart in this rich month of May;
I hear the clear anthems that ring through the heaven;
I drink the bland airs that enliven the day;
And if gentlo Nature, her festival keeping,
Delights not my bosom, ah! do not condemn ;
O’er the lost and th* lovely myKfclrlt 1* weeping,
For my heart’s fondest raptures are buried with them 1
From tho New York Evening Post,
Some Interesting Statistic*.
There are in the appendix to a report of the Secre
tary of tho Treasury, lately communicated to the
Senote, on the Colonial and Lake Trade of the United
States, several important and useful tables of the gen
eral trade of the country. The substance of some of
these we shall gire.in a condensed form:
Our average imports from 1821 to 1826, specie in
cluded, were $80,378,348 ; from 1848 to 1852, they
were $181,906379, showing that they have more.than
doubled in thirty years. Our average imports from
1821 to 1820 were $09,439,785, and from 1848 to 1852,
$175,943300. In 1821 the tannage of the United
States was only 1,298,958 tuns, in 1852 it was 4,138,-
441 tuns, showing that it hns more than trebled in
thirty years. Next to Great Britain we have a lari
tunnago than any nation in tho world, and in 1
years, at the present rate of increase, we shall surpass
Great Britain.
The value of our annual products exceeds three
thousand millions of dollars, of which only about
$170,000,000 are Bent abroad, leaving $2,830,000,000
to be consumed st home and interchanged among the
states. At least $000,000,000 is thus interchanged,
in tho glorious free-trade system which • prevails be
tween the States of the Union. How small, after all,
is onr foreign trade, about which we legislate so
much, and for the defence of which, and tno collec
tion of the duties upon it we spend so much, compar
ed with the inland business!
The total debt of the several states in 1851 was
$201,541,024, which was less, by some millions, than
it had been during the previous ten years. The value
of property assessed in tho same states was $5,083,-
149,407, the real value being, however, $7,068,157,770
—a pretty good security, we think, for their debts,
whether owing at home or abroad.
The total population of the villages, towns, and
cities of tlm united States, is only 4,000,000 while the
rural population, “ the honest peasantry, their coun
try’s pride” is 19,203,000. The four cities of New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore contain a
population of 1J1A.O0O, the amount of whose real ahd
personal property is $702,000,000, or $578 each. The
property of the rural population Is $2312,000,000. or
about $120 each. _ _ ~
From tho returns of the agricultural crops, It ap
pears that we raise annually $143,000,000 in wheat,
$391,200,000 in Indian corn, $190,275,000 in hay, $70,-
840,000 in oats, $73,125,000 in Irish potatoes, and
$129,000,000 in cottou—the whole crop being $1,762,-
583,042. One of tho roost useful of our crops, wine, is
yet in its infancy, the west having made only,a little
over 1,000,000 or gallons in 1851, worth about $500,-
000—but the cultivation is increasing, and in a few
years will bo immense, especially when New Mexico
and California, which are admirably adapted to it,
shall go into the business.
No portion of tho trade of the Union has grown
more rapidly, within a few years, than that connect
ed with the steam marine. Tho total number of
steam vessels now employed on our coast Is 025, with
atunnageof 212,500, and employing 11.770 men as
officers and crew. In the interior the number of
steam vessels is 765, with a tannage of 204,725, and
employing 17,607 men. Our whole steam marine,
therefore, amounts to 1,390 vessels, with a tannage of
417,220, manned by 29,277imeu,and carrying, besides
freight, about 40,000,000 of passengers every year—
In tills vast travel only 750 lives were fost in 1852—
far too many, but not so many ns some peoplo who
fancy every steamboat a powder-house, are prepared
to expect. •
The amount of money paid into the treasury of the
United States, as duties on foreign goods, in the year
1852, was at New York $28,772358, at Philadelphia
$3,715,126, at Boston $6,250 388, and at Baltimore
$1,063330. It will be seen that New York more than
trebles all the other cities.
There arc 12,808 miles of railroad In operation In
the United States, and 12.G12 in progress—more than
in nil tho rest or the world. Of those in operation,
three-fonrthB are In the free States, and almost the
same proportion holds good In respect to those which
are projected^

Railroad Accident.—Wo regret to have to state
that quite a serious accident occurred on the wrath
Carolina Railroad, about five miles from- Charleston,
on the afternoon of Saturday last. It appears that
the person in charge of the switch, or the conductor
of the train last using it, at the five mile turnout, left
the rails below In connection with the turnout. The
result wu that thffHamburg train arriving at this
point about two o’clock, at the usual speed, and una
ware of the want of connection, ran off, seriously
damaging the locomotive and baggage cars. No per
son wu Injured, however, except the engineer. His
face wm badly. lacerated, and the handle of one of
the rods entered his back, inflicting a serious wound.
It Is hoped bo Will recover. The train from Colombia

of cultivation, earnest and unaffected piety, in tery
delicate health, and now borne down by the pressure
of sorrows leas OMlIy borne, than If she had them to

The money market In all the Northern and Eastern cities
Is uniformly easy—money Is plenty at low rates npon good
iicurltles. Towards the close oriast week a slight re*Mo
tion was perceivable In Wall-st.. considered to be merely
temporary, and is attributed, says the Commercial, principal
ly to the necessity of making advances upon the gold re
ceipts from California during the week, which bare not
been realized from. In buzineaa,genorally.overythlngbeats
ertJeuce of a most prosperous condition. Five hundred
ahares of the new stock of tbe New York Central Railroad
stock put upon the market. on Friday last, and were
quickly taken np at a premium of twcnty-f.ee per cent, be
ing an advance of three per eent. npon previou* sales, de
liverable on the opening of th# transfer books in June. Tht
stock la generally held at 180 to 140, and very little can be
obtained below thee* figures, ad the earnings of this line
since ths ls^February, hare been very largely In excess of
those for the corresponding month of last year. It is esti
mated that the gross receipts for the year commencing on
the 1st cf May win amount to more than six million dollar*
which will give a dividend of ten per cent., pay Interest and
all expenses, and leave a very largo surplus.
