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.

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. ADDRESS or uxor. BUBO. Hnt -_in the namt and behalf of the De Kalb Riflemen It becomes my pleating duty to return to you, ft the repre sentative of the German ladles of the city of Barsnnah, our 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 one ride It tells of the Constitution of our noble State, sup ported by the eternal pillars of Justice, Wisdom, and Hod- •ration. That brilliant conetellatlon surmounting the 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 dent stare. And that rising sun too is emblematical of the glorious morning of liberty which broke to the gate of an • admMnft world—the falthfnl harbinger of the bright meri dian which baa followed. On the reverse of Its gorgeous fttHs |t speaks In the combination of the Laurel aud the Oak—of glory and of strength; and in the initial letters of wSboriJs, inclosed Within that wreath, we find the name of the lwro, toe patriot, and tof sage.

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. . - Charleston Bank Directors.—At an election for Directors of the Peoples’ Bank of Charleston, on the 2d inat., the following gentlemen were duly elected, viz:—A. McKenzie, 0. L. Burckmyer, T. N. Gadsden, B. D. Boyd, W. B. Houston, J. W. Scruggs, Richard F. Reynold!, E. P. Starr, E. W. Edgarton, 0. B.Heri- ot, G. W. Brown, L. T. Potter. J. F. Green. At an election held on the same day for Directors of the Planters’ and Mechanics' Bank, the following gen tlemen were duly elocted, viz:—Daulel Ravenel, Wm. Bell, Wm. Adger. J. J. McCarter, C. T. Mitchell, J.R. Robinson, Charles D. Carr, Wm. Aiken, Wm. Raven- el, A. S. Willington, Samuel G. Barker, James Lamb, E. P. Milliken. 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 .rendered houseless and almost destitute. The total loss Is estimated at $25,000. Bailing op Ocean Steamers.—Six ocean steamers left the port of New York on Saturday last, for va ; rions destinations, viz j The U. S. mail steamers Arc tic, for Liverpool; the Crescent City, for Aspinwall; tho Utayal, (formerly Br. steamer Cherokee) for Rio 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.

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 venile pickpockets, being .the principal leaders of a gang who had for somo time successfully carried on their depredations abont the entrances of the Bowery theatre. They were taken before Justice Osborne, and will be rigidly dealt with. Fire and Loss op Life in Rochester,N. Y.— 1 The Temperance Hotel in that city was destroyed by fire ou the morning of the 29th nit.,‘and 4 servants, 3 fe- mails and 1 man, perished in the flames. The board, era, of whom there were a large number, were in their beds and the greatest excitement and confusion pro. vailed. . Tbo loss of the building Is $25,000 ; besides 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 tho second offence the same fine and 3 months impris onment. Murder in Cleveland, Ohio.—A woman named Christiana Slxsby, living alone, was murdered some time since Friday the 22d. Her house had been shut np since then, hut was opened on the 28th, when the woman was fonnd, with her throat cat and the body brutally mangled. The house had been ran- racked. Chatham Common Pleas.—The Court of Common Pleas and Oyer and Terminer for this county, Judge Drysdale, presiding, commences its session at tho Court House,at tonji’cjock, A. M., this day. Arrival op the Alabama.—The Alabama, Capt 0. D. Ludlow, arrived at her dock Tuesday morning, at an early hour, within fifty-eight hours from New York. |By this arrival we are In receipt of New Ygrk papers of Saturday,?. M., in advance of the mall, for whioh the attentive Purser of the Alabama will please accept our thanks. New York Canal Navigation.—Much interrup tion has taken place in the navigation of the New York Canals from Berious breaks in the enbankments at various points, many of which it will tako several days to repair. Florida Appointment.—Among the Executive appointments announced in Washington on the 30th, is that of John Wbstoott, Esq'., as Surveyor General of Florida, vice Putnam, removed. The Charleston CouHiEB---Thi8 sterling sheet made Its appearanco on tbo first in a handsome new dress—the type being a size largor, than that former ly used. The Conner baa long enjoyed a deservedly high reputation as an ably conducted, and well print- ed journal. Railroad Accident.—In the afternoon of the 29tb, the locomotive Gov. Graham on the Railroad near Wilmington, 8. C., gavo way, thereby detaining the mails and passengers until next day. No injmy re sulted to tho person of any of the passengers. 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 appointment of Secretary of Legation to France. 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 think* that this change may be easily effected, and adds that tbo moans to do so * *”* pear, from hie showing, lion of his social s; ‘ deytrtedaplQtiaf_______ Wndfysenfiln their adhesion.

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^ Affair* In Washington. Wa8fitngton, April 20—Midnight.

Tho territory will either bo sur- ixico, —* rendered to Mexico, or submitted to tho arbitration provided by treaty. We venture to say the President Is hardly the man to take any ungenerous advantage of a helpless neighbor. His policy Is to conciliate the confidence of Mexico as far as possible. We should * “ if the not, therefore, be surprised if the act of Gov. Lane were officially disavowed, and a new man promptly sent ont to take his place. His idea in this proclama tion was, perhaps, that as a specimen of Qliibuster- ing it would be approved by Gen. Pierce. R. W.
