Fmbndb ’axd Fellow Citizens :
~ " dopon to andertake tho duties of the first
lvo office of our country, I avail myself of the
e or that portion or my fellow-citizen* which
is hero assembled, to express my grateful thanks for
the iavor with which they have been pleased to look
■ towards mo, to declare a uncere consciousness that the
task is above my talents, and that I approach it with
those anxious and awful presentiments which the
greatness of the charge and the weakness of my
powers so Justly inspire. A rising nation, spread
over a wide and fruitful land, traversing all the bcos
with the rich productions of their industry, engaged
in commerce with nations who feel power and forget
right, advancing rapidly to destinies beyond the reach
ormortol eye; when I contemplate those trauscen-
dant objects, and seo tho honor, tho happiness, and
the hopes of this beloved country committed to the
Issues and auspices of this day, I shrink from the
contemplation, and bumble myself before the magni
tude of the undertaking. Utterly, indeed, should 1
despair, did not the presence of many whom 1 here
aco remind me that, in the other high authorities
provided by our constitution, I shall find resources
of wisdom, wisdom,of virtue, and of zeal,on which
to rely under all my difficulties. To you, then, gen
tlemen, who are charged with the sovereign functions
of legislation, and to those associated with you, I
look with encouragement for that guidance aud sup
port which may enablo us to steer with safety tlie
vessel in which we are all embarked, amid the con
flicting eloments of a troubled world.
I know Indeed that some honest men fear that a
republican government cannot] bo strong; that this
government U not strong enough. But would the
honest patriot, in the full tide of successful experi
ment, abandon a government which basso far kept
us free and firm, on the theoretic and vissionary fear
that this government, the world's best houo, may, by
poslbility, want energy to preserve itself ? I trust
not. I believe this on the contrary, the strongest
government on earth. I believe it the only one where
every man, at the call of the laws, would fly to the
standard of tho law; and would meet invasions of the
public order of his own personal concern. Some
times it is said that man cannot be trusted with the
government or bimseir. Can he then be trusted with
the government of others 7 Or have we found angels
in the form of kings to govern them? Let history
answer this question.
Let os then, with courage aud confidence pursue
our own federal and republican principles; our at
tachment to onion and representative government—-
Kindly sopareted by nature and a wiue ocean from
the exterminating havoc of ono quarter of tho globe;
too high-minded to endure the degradations of the
others; possessing a chosen country, with room
enough for our descendants to the thousandth and
ten thousaudth generation ; entertaining a duo sense
of our equal right to the use of our own faculties, to
the acquisition of our industry, to honor and confi
dence from oar fellow-citizens, resulting not from
birth, but from our actions and their scuse or them ;
enlightened by a benign religion, professed indeed
and practiced in various forms, yet all of them incul
cating honesty,truth,temperance, gratitude, aud the
love of man, acknowledging and adoring an over
ruling Providence, which, by all its dispensations,
proves that It delights in the happiness of man here,
and his greater happiness hereafter; with all these
blessings what more is necessary to make us a happy
and prosperous people 1 Still otic thing more fellow-
citizen*—a wise ana frugal government, which shall
restrain men from injuring oneanother, shall leave
them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of
industry and improvement, and shall not take from
the mouth of labor tho bread it has earned. This is
the sum of good government, and this is necessary to
close the circle of oar felicities.
About to enter, fellow-citizens, on the exercise of
duties which comprehend every thing dear and val
uable to you, it is proper that you should understand
what 2 deem the essential principles or our govern
ment, and consequently those which ought to share
its administration. I will compress them within the
narrowest compass they will bear, stating tho gener
al principle, but not all its limitations. Equal and
oxact Justice to all men of whatever state or persua
sion; religions or political; pcaco, commerce,and
honest friendship with all nations, entangling alli
ances with none; the support of the State govern
ments in all their rights, us the most competent ad
ministrations for our democratic concerns, and the
sorest bulwarks against anti-republican tendencies;
the preservation of the general government in its
whole constitutional vigor, as tho sheet anchor of our
peace at home and satety abroad ; a jealous care of
the right of election by the peopio ; a mild and safe
corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sword of
revelation, where peacefa! remedies are unprovided;
absolute acquieaence in the decisions of the majority,
the vital principle of republics, from which there Is
no appeal but to force, the vital principle and Imme
diate parent of despotism; a well disciplined militia,
car best reliance in peace, and for the first moments
or war. UU regulars may relieve them ; the suprema
cy of the civil over the military authority—economy
in the pabllo expense, that labor may be lightly
burthened; tho honest payment or our debts, and bs-
cred preservation of the public faith ; encouragement
of agriculture, and oi commerce as its handmaid:
the diffusion of information, and arraignment of all
abuses at the bar of public reason; freedom of re
ligion ; freedom of tho press, and freedom of person,
under the protection of tho habeas corpus; and tried by
juries impartially selected. These principles form the
bright constellation which bos gone before os, and
guided, oar steps through an age of revolution and
reformation. The wisdom of our sages, and blood of
our heroes, have been devoted to tnelr attainment
they should be the creed of our political faith ; the
text of civic instruction ; the touchstone by which to
try the services of those we trait; and should we
wander from them in momenta of error or alarm, let
us hasten to retrace our steps, and to regain the road
which alone leads to peace, liberty and safety.
Relying then on the patronage of your good will, I
advance with obedience to the work, ready to retire
from it whenever yon become sensible bow much bet
ter choice it is In your nower to make. And may
that infinite Power which rules the destinies of the
universe, lead our councils to what is beat, aud give
them a favorable issue for your prosperity.
Virginia Girls.
The Richmond Enquirer, of a recent date, con
tains the following notice of a Virginia girl, or, in its
own language, a meritorious lady of our acquaintance
in Hanover county:
•• At tb* age of twenty sho was a hearty, rosy-
checked lass, full of life and industry. Seeing a pros
pect of making a disconsolate booholor as happy as
herself, she acquired a piece of land, with the view
of having 'a local habitation.’ A house was the next
tiling Indispensable to her laudable ambition. 8be
shouldered bar ana, want to the woods, felled trees
with bar own bands, chopped the logs for the build

Romance or Abel Ann and Heloiee.—More fasci
nating than any flotion over wrought out by brain of
Scott or Dioxins Is the history of the lives aud luvo
of AMard and Htloise. The work before us is term
ed " romance of Abelard and Helolse," because, In
the view of IU author," real romance Is real history.
Life as it Is lived Is more wonderful and touching
than Hie m it Is shaped by fancy. • • • Host or us
have lived a romance more beautiful and pathetic
than ever yet has been described by the pen of man."
Tho iutelloct of Abelard was the most brilliant that
shone upon the world during the 12th century. Hol
ds* was tho most gifted woman or her day; and lov
ed as never did any other. Abelard, then at tho zo
nlth of hla intellectual might and glory—Hclolso Juat
eighteen-were brought together, loved, were mar
ried, and then, by a terrible calamity,separated. IIo
became a monk, sbe a nun. Tho letters which passed
between them alter their separation, glowing with
unoxtinguUbablo affection on her part, filled with
religious consolation on bis, make a correspondence
which can never lose its interest.
Tho book is in tho style or Messrs. Appleton &
Co.’s beautiful publications, and is for sale by Col.
Williams.
PuiLosornY op Sir William Hamilton.—Sir
William Hamilton is tbo successor at Edinburgh of
thoso famous Scotch metaphysicians, Reid, Bhown,
and Stewart, and is likely to leave, a name and fame
not less enduring than theirs. Of men wbo write iu
tho English languago, ho is certainly, In reputation,
without a rival as an intellectual philosopher. Ills
American editor says:
11 A philosopher, who thinks like Aristotle; whose
logic is as stern as that of St. Thomas, * the law-giver
of the Church;’ who rivals Murctus as a critic; whoso
erudition finds a parallel only in that of the younger
Scaiiger; whose subtlety of thought and polemical
power remind us or the dauntless Prince of Verona;
whose penetrating analysis reaches deeper than that
of Kant; such a one, it is our pleasure to introduco
to the students of philosophy in America, who, in a
style severely elegant, with accuracy of statement,
with precision of definition, in scquenco aud ndmira-
bio order, will explain a system in many respects
new—a system that will provoke thought, that, con
sequently, carries in itself the germs of beneficial
revolutions iu literature and education, in all thoso
tilings that aro produced and regulated by mind iu
action."

Phycuomancy—Spirit Rappings and Table Tip-

pages, (published by the Applrtons, and for sale in
Savannah by Col. Williams,) Pror. Crab. G. Paok,

ping over their " knuckles." We advise all our sub
scribers wbo are exercised on this subject, to read it.
Its cost (25 cents) is a small matter. It may save
them from a miserable delusion.

reason to change it. No admirer of the "supreme and
universal excellence of Shakespeare" should con

Mr. Collier’s corrections. All previous editions, as
compared with the present, are really valueless.
Whig Unionism not l*rofltable lit Alabama,
Thu Whigs of Alabama don’t lindl/iriV Union Con
servative Republican speculation profitable. Win
ston, the Democratic nominee, who was exceedingly
distasteful to thorn on account of his " lire eating’’
propensities, bos been elected Governor by about 10,-
000 majority. Six out of seven of the members of
Congress aro Democrats—Aiiercoomme being the
only Union Whig who is successful. In the Legisla
ture, which has two United States Senators to cliooso,
the Montgomery Advertiser (Dcm.) claims a majori
ty of from 23 to 23 on joint ballot.
But the unkindcst cat of all is tho state which
the Montgomery Journal, (formerly ono of the strong
est ot the Union Whig organs) gives to the “ hum?
bug." Hear him Whig* of Georgia:
While the Whig* hare done unuiually well In the Hoti*e.
they have Inevitably lont the Semite, which, for a number

The Senate now etands 21 locos to 12 whig*, which carrlea

The Alabama Whigs bavo discovered, as will thoso
of Georgia, we believe, sooner or later, that a little
honesty is good policy, even in politics. The idea of
resorting to Unionism and Conservatism in the hope
of smuggling Wblgs into office, under these names,
is trickery too barefaced to receive the countenance
of a majority of the honest voters of Georgia. It will
be rebuked in this State as it has been in Alabama.

Messrs. Editors: —Unavoidable circumstances have
prevented mo from sooner giving you a short notice
of the commencement of tbo Southern Female Col
lege, at Lagrange, which took place on the 20th of
July last.
High as our expectations had been raised from the
wide-spread reputation of tills deservedly popular
seminary, they were more than realized. It has been
long Indeed since the citizens of Lagrange, and the
pntrons of this institution, have boon so much grati
fied as on tills occasion. The admirable essays of tbo
graduates, the interesting character of the exercises,
the larzo aud attentive audience, together with the
surpassingly beautiful and appropriate address of the
Hon. Robert fcl. Charlton, conspired to render tho day
more than ordinarily interesting.
The yonng ladies of the graduating class, from
what we could ace for ourselves, as well as from the
unanimous report of thoso who were best qualified to
judge, exhibited unusual talent and promise. It is
rare to aee a class of that number presenting intellect
ual capacity so uncommon, culture and attainments
so high, and mental training so thorough. It must
be highly gratifying to their instructors that some or
this class have received their whole conrso of educa
tion at this institution, having risen from the primary
department to bo members of a class of which their
parents and frlonds, their Alma Mater—their very
State—may be proud. The essays struck ns as being
of unusual interest and merit, slightly touching upon
andovincing acquaintance with the more masculine
topics engrossing public attention at tho present day,
yet displaying throughout, as well in the choice of
subjects as in the manner in which they were han
dled, a refinement, eleganco, and delicacy purely fem
inine. This Impression must have been general, for
wo have never seen essays listened to with such flat
tering and noiseless attention or such deep interest.
Tills we attribute not only to tho intrinsic merit of
tho compositions themselves, but to the admlrablo
manner In which thoy were rcud. The fair graduates,
ono and all, without raising their voices to an un.
pleasant or nn!ady-liko key, were distinctly heard
throughout tho large and well-filled hall, plainly show
ing that to tho charms of a well stored mind and the
valuable and Indispensable accomplishment of writ
ing wall, they had added the no leas valuable and far
more rare feminine accomplishment of reading well*
Then followed a abort, but touching and appro,
priate. address by Mr. Baoon, tbe President, to the
graduating date, In whlcb, with no word of fulsome
flattery or unmerited compliment, be rendered a Juat
tribute to tbelr eharaotor and merit as pupils, and
their gentle and ladylike deportment, congratulating
them on tbe heppy end creditable termination of
their courae of study, end with many wlahea for their
befort betopena hla lips. So toe thought—wh«n the
Judge efroM to address ua. V*iy few words, how
ever, bad been uttered, before we discovered that we
had entirely mistaken the man. Attention was
■peedlly riveted. All waa new, brilliant and origi
nal; sentence after aentenoe of glowing Imagery
poured from hie lips, MU he had Mrly elevated and
transported hte audience to tha-lklry land, whore
features ho ao vividly described. Mot long did h« Un
ger among those sylvan shades, but led os on, on,
while playful Irony and sparkling humor, touching
pathos aud matchless argument, mingled with such
pleasing alternation and charming variety, that tbe
andience were fairly transported; constantly waver
ing between tbe desire for > reatbless silence Jo lore
no look.no word.no Intonation of thoir 8peiker's
voice, and that of applauding aentlmente and ap
peals which went to tbe heart of every one wbo heard
them. Tho conclusion of tbe address showed ua that
tbe eloquent speaker waa no leu tbe poet, tbe paint
er and tho patriot than tho orator, and carried us one
and all to the highest pitch of euthuslasm. Not a
mau, woman, or child wasproaeat who was not de-
lighted, for the day’s exercises constantly deepening
in Interest, had so effectually absorbed tiio attention
of all, that not ono bad bad a moment’s leisure for
fatigue or weariness, and tbe only regret at tbe close
or the oration was. that it was ended.
We had heard of Judge Charlton, his ability, hla
eloquence, bis talent, but truly Indeed tho half bad
not been told. By his visit to LaGrangc bo bos made
many new and fast friends, and we hope that Georgia
may long be able to retain him In her service in the
Senate of tbo United States. Long may ho livo, an
honor and a blessing to hia native 8tatc, and long
may the Southern Female College continue to pros
per, and may she liuve the good fortune of graduat
ing many such classes os tho ono whoso diplomas wo
have just seen swardod. Georgia may well be proud
of her literary institutions, her pupils and her ora
tors. an Observer.
Extract of a letter from a gonlleman &t Nowportton friend
Savannah and Charleston Railroad,
have been gratified to obeenre the fkrorable considera
tion which tho editors of the Georgian bare given to tho
projected Eftvaunnh and Charleston Railroad. Their views
of this connection aro sustained by what I conceive to bo
the public policy and commercial Interests of Savannah.
The construction of this road may be regarded as a fixed
het—a fait accompli. Theexprecslon of public sentiment
In Charleston, and tho proceedings of public meetings, re.
cently held along tho proposed lino of the raid, all indicate
a settled purpose—and the ability to execute thU purpose
will not be doubted. Already a committee hae been ap
pointed to obtain a charter from the next leginlature of
Carolina, and the company will bo formed Immediately
thereafter, for ulterior action.
This road will be built np to the banks of the Savannah
river, exclusively within Carolina, under a charter from
that State. Whatever speculative opinions may bo enter
tained ol tho effect of this road upon the prosperity of Sa
vannah. there can bo no difference of opinion oa to the duty
aud necessity of Savaunab. She should frankly favor this
enterprise, which, If she could, she cannot dofeat. She
must take such an actlvo Interest In the road os to givo
direction to 1U councils the most advantageous to her in
terests. Those interests are largely Involved in the ques
tion* of male and place, where and how, the Savannah river
is to be cru.'ied. Shall it be crossed at Union Ferry, Hut
chinson's Island, or Puryiburgh? Shall there bo bridges,
or steam ferry boats ? Hie comparative advantages and
di-advantages of these different modes and places must be
discuucd and determined aooner or later.
Apathy, Indifference or opposition, will not dofeat nn en
terprise, which Carollnn has determined to prosecute. Sa
vannah rew.lved to build up to Augueta, against the indif
ference of that city. It has been done. Savannah did not
like the projected Rrunswick and Thoraasville road. To
meet this possible event, she has wisely adopted the true
policy of Upping that road. And so, she will stand ready
to recover what aho would lose by this passible event.—
Were there, however, no Iirunswlck In existence, the Sa
vannah and Florida road would bo built.
The Charleston road will bo an elomont of prosperity to
Savannah. If its trade would go to that city by this road.
It would equally do *o now, by the cheaper conveyance of
tteamer*. It would do so now, were there any superior at
tractions In that market. Froduco will go to the nearest
market, unless It bo paid to go further.
Tills connexion is an absolute necessity, both to Giarles-
ton and .Savannah. To Charleston, because sho would,
without it. nllow Savannah to have a monopoly of the Flor-
I la trade, and Now Orleans travol. To Savannah, because

Uusvlllo to Providence and Newport.
At th* tim« of the coIIIsIoq both train* were going
at almott fall iiwed, re that th* shock was dreadfa)
In the extreme. They came In contact about five
miles from this city, at tho Junction or tho Boston and
Providence, and Providonc* and Worcester roads,
near Valley Fall*.
Tb* first oar of the ekcarelon train was broken to
pieces, tho tender being driven through It.
The second car was not so much Imured, bnt was
driven through into tho third car about naif iu leugth.
Tbd five rear cars were only partially damaged.
In tbe tint passenger car there were only twolve
or Afteen passengers—three or four of whom were
killed Instantly, while nearly all the remainder were
more or lose Injured.
In the llilru cor tho eflbcta of tho collision were
frightful. Some of the passengers were killed In
stantly, and others received scrione If not ratal inju
ries. At tho last accounte fifteen of the passenger*
had been tuken out dead, and as many more probably
mortally wounded.
Several of tbo wounded had their limbs broken and
were much disfigured.
Among the killed la the fireman of the Uxbridge
train. He leaves a wlfo aud two children at that
place.
The greater portion of tho killed and wounded be
longed to Uxbridge and Wbltensville.
Mr. J. P. Butts, of Millville, with his grandson, ten
years old, were in the first car and escaped. The car
was totally demolished,' but ho and the boy were
thrown out at the side of tho cur, aud rolled down an
cm! aukmvnt,
Mr. Butte experienced no injury, but the youth was
severely cut on the head. Another passenger was
thrown out in the sumo way, aud fortunately escaped
without Injury.
Most if not all or the other passengers in this car
were either badly wounded or killed. A largo nnin
bor who escaped serious *
tors.
The train from Providcnco consisted of only two
cars—being ono first and ono second class car—near
ly all the scats In which were broken up ; none of
the passengers, however, were dangerously injured,
although al*mthaif of them were badly cut anc'
bruised.
There wore In all about fifty passengers In this
train. Among them was the superintendent or the
rimd—Mr. Soiithwick—whose head was badly cut.—
Tho superintendent of the transportation department,
Mr. Taber, tho clerk of tho road, and Henry Card,
tbo conductor, all escaped uninjured.
The first assistance rendered to the sufferers was
by those who were on board the 7.30 train for Boston
from Providence, which left the latter place after the
train which came in collision with tho Uxbridge
train, and arrived at tho Junction about five minutes
after it.
The passengers assisted in placing the wounded nn
the car which was not injured, and took them back
to Pawtucket, to obtaiu medical assistance.
Among tho killed is Mr. Fiuney, tho Pastor of Grace
Church at Uxbridge.
The collision is attributed to the carelessness of the
conductor of the Uxbridge train—lie being behind
time, and hoping to make it up so as to catch the
steamboat.
Stilt Another Hnllrond Accident—Outrage-
out Attempt to Destroy Life.
WllEKLINO, Aug. 12,
The Express Passenger train from Baltimore, on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, yesterday afternoon
was thrown off tho track when passing through n
switch at Cameron, 27 mites from this city. The ball,
or lever, fell down, which, by changing tbe track,
threw three of the cars, crowded with passengers, en
tirely off. They were upset, but strange to say, out
of over 100 ladies and gentlemen, not ono was killed
or even seriously injured. Some 20 or 30 are slight^ •
braised and scratched. John V. L. McMahon, of Bal
timore, wbo was in the train, was buried in coal dust,
but not in the least degree injured. An investigation

Washington Gossip.
Washington, Aegart 11, 1853,
News, just now, is scarce ns cool breezes. Hardly
an item worth relating rewards my labor toniay. The
chief topic of conversation to-day. and a jolly dys-
iiep-da-curing topic it is, was the claim set up by
1/rrd Stirling, a subject ol Great Britain, to the whole
of the North American fisheries, by u right superior
to those of either the United States or Great Britain.
John Bull and Brother Jouathau have had a good
deal of trouble overthi-so fisheries. Of lute there has
seemed good reason to fear naughty words might be
uttered ere long, to bo followed by unfriendly blows;

This comparative statement of advantages, to bo derived

be tested.

to isolate themselves, as cuts tie toe The North-eastern

lage, and orgnnizod in tjio commodious lobby of Hie store of
Meyer Elsfeld, Esq., for the purpose of nominating candi-
dat a for Ine ensuing election on the first Monday In Octo.
her next, for a Senator and Representative, when, on mo
tion, seconded, Robert Paxton, Esq., was selected Chairman
and Meyer Eisfeld, Esq., requested to act a* Secretary.—
Thus organized, after a brief explanation by the Chairman
of the motives of the meoting, on motion, a committee • f
eleven waa named by the Chairman, to nominate suitable
candidates, as follows to wit:
For Ccntrevlllago—Geo. D. King and Robert Thomas.

midi na it won, for Franco had never relibqul*lie<l
her title, to a Frenchman—La Tour, I think, was hi*
name. It woiil<! be supposed that tliin assignment
cut off tbo interest of tho Alexander* iu tbe gruuts,
in any event.
Alox. Humphrey, tho individual now known os
1/ird Stirling, claim* to bo the legitimate heir of Un
original Alexander, and therefore entitled to the en
tire disputed Iteliing coast. lie piopiwi-H, or rather n
coiii| a iy of speculators who use hi* name propose, to
lit out a fishing vt-ase! which shall practically a**vrt
his right and title ; ami, if interfored with by tho
British cruiser*, they desire the United States Gov
ernment should afford the necessary protection. They
o*k our Government to ubandnii our treaty right* in
tho fisheries, relying upon Britain’s failure to prove
her title, and hereafter refuse to acknowledge that
Britain has any righto in tho premises, because she
granted away the fisheries a ceutury and half nearly
before the American Revolution. Of course the re
sult would be that all fishermen would be compelled
to purchase licenses of my L>rd Stirling & Co.
It so happens tlmt tho title of this Lord Stirling is
very much iu doubt. The Herald, in publishing this
speculator’s bulletin, says Lord Stirling, on advice of
eminent men, come over to this country because it
was deemed the best place in which to press hi* claim.
That certainly must be conceded hy those who re

Ilorrlil Crimes.
A correspondent of tbe 8t. Louis Republican, writ
ing from Jasper county, Missouri, details tbe follow
ing horrible story or crime :
"On Friday night, tbe 15tb July, two negroes—
ono belonging to a Mr. Dale and the other a runaway
belonging to a Mr. Scott—went to the bouBO of Dr.
Fiske, who lives four miles from Carthage, and one
stationed himself in the corner of the field, and the
other wont to tho house and told the doctor tlmt his
master (Mr. D.) was very sick, and wanted him to
coma over Immediately. Thu doctor took uptiUhat
and started, the negro following; and so soon as they
reached the spot where Hie runaway was stationed
both negroes fell on him, one with a club and the
otiier with an axe, and killed him. His head was
completely split open with tim uxo. The villains then
went to tiio Iiouhc, and both ravished the wife. They
then Killed her, then killed the child, then robbed the
house, and set fire to it and burned it up. Dale's ne
gro lias been taken, and confessed these facto. Here
was evory crime tlmt human beings could possibly
commit at the same time—murder, rape, robbery,and
arson. The cup of iniquity is full to the brim. The
atrocity of the deed is unparalleled in the annals ot
crime. Dale’s negro produced $240 that be had taken
from the house, and said tlmt tho other had got five
piece*, bnt did not know whether they were silver or
gold. At last accounts the people of Jasper were
scouring the country in search of the runaway, and
eo sure rs they catch him they will relieve the courts
of all trouble witb them by burning both at thestake.’

K r preparation of alcohol in the shapo or drops or

named "Rum Pills." Thoy are manufactured by
confectioners not as pepper-mlnt and other esaontlal

Proapccta of (hr Cotton Crop.
Our exchanges bring us uniform accounte of con
tinued wet weather, and consequent injury to the
growing crop of cotton. The complaint is universal
that tho rains lmvo accelerated the growth of the
plant to an extraordinary degree, causing the young
forms to fail off, the grown bull* to rot, and retarding
the early maturity of those that escape destruction
by tho unusual degree of moisture. The opinions
prevail in many portions of the o untry tlmt the yield
will not reach more than half. Some contend that
the crop will Iks an average one. while a much greater
number insist tlmt it will fall #hort of one-half. The
effect of this general belief will be, that the planters,
confiding in tho limited production, nnd the conse
quent advance in prices, will delay sending their
crops to market. \Ve may, therefore, look for light
receipts, during the catly part of the Hoa«on at hand.
