Thk VVe athf.r and Crops.—On Thursday night last, we had an excellent rain which com menced about 12 o'clock and continued until Friday morning, which has swept off a large portion of the dust which has been such an an noyance to our citizens for the last fifty three days, during which time it had not rained at this point. Although vegetation in the gardens in this city has been almost entirely destroyed, ye t this rain will materially benefit the potatoo and cotton crops, as the weather was fair again last evening \\ bilst the farmers have suffered from the drought, they have had an excellent time to pick out their matured cotton. We would here remark that whilst the receipts of cotton at this place thus far have been to a fair extent, with regard to the number of bales, which have been unusually light, not averaging over four hundred pounds each. This may be owing to the dry weather, or the result of design, as at the preset!* prices, the farmer pockets a profit of about one dollar per hale, on the cost of the bagging and rope. If this system should continue through, out the season,it may make a difference of twenty thousand bales , in the same number compared with the weight of those last year. Ihe Albany Patriot says: We have had some weeks dry and beautiful weather for picking cot ton The crop in this section though porhaps the best in cotton region), will not be a full orop The country continues healthy. Many new set.' elers are corning, hut there is yet room for thous ands of others. It is now generally conceded (says the Selmn {Ala.) Reporter of the 4tb inst ,) that the cotton crop will he very short. We not know a single planter who will make as much as he did last year. Tl.e corn crops, too, will he very short. The Savannah Republican of Monday sta'es t int rice of the new crop is now all cut. The crop is most abundant, and the grain of a supe rior quality. l'he weather has been most favora ble lor harvesting, and continues good, though a gale now would ho attended with disastrous consequences. It is said that the crop was never harvested so late before. The very first of this new crop is now ready for market, being about one month b -hind the ordii.ary time at which new rice is delivered. Tee Georgetwon Observer, of Octobe 9, says . “ I he weather lias been clear any cold during the last week, making us feel like winter was well ori his way tous Fires in the morning and evening have been very comfortable. It has been a glorious week for the rice harvest, and ■our planters have made good use of it Many have tinislie-l harvest, and at the end of the week nearly every one will have gotten through We-till hear of a little sickness about the Dis. ti iel, !>at none of a serious character.’’ The Nashville Telegraph states that during Wednesday and Thitrsdat night last heavy frost f II at Nashville, (Tenn.) and in the surrounding country. It is estimated that two-thirds of the tol>,in o crop has hpen seriously damaged. The Petersburg Inteligenccr of the !)lli inst, says :On yesterday morning there was quite a sharp frost, and we should not he surprised if its effects is fell on the tobacco crop.—This crop has this year seemed to have been singled out for disaster. First, a scarcely of plants; next bad s 'aeons for planting; then drought; after ward a freshet, which destroyed a good deal on the Ron. stoke; and lastly, frost. To this we mnv adds that, in the middle of September, a good deal of tobacco spotted so badly that whole crops were cut before the plants matured. Tho Submi *n>s I’artv. —The Albany Patriot *avn : “Ft is unfortunate for Georgiaand for the whole South, at the present, when :he interests and the honor ufuv ery citizen is equally involv ed, that there should be any political divisions among ourselves. It is of the highest importance that the Stale should move as one man in opposi tion to the encroach merits of the Federal Govern ment. It would seem that a common danger and a common interest should unite every man in Georgia for common defence. We have therefore seen with deep regret, indications of a disposition in some men,ln take advantage of the state of public feeling, to advance party pm p ises These of our fellow citizens, who be lieve that the wrongs we have received from the Is'oj h would justify a separn ion from the Federal compact, have yielded their extreme views, and are willing to co-operate with those who are willing to confine their mode and urea sure of resistance within the bounds ofthe Con stitution. But there are those among us who appear determined to make every man w ho is in favor of Constitutional resistance, a distinionist- Do these men wish to make a party issue of what should be purely a Southern question .’— Has the order reitlly gone forth, that the Whigs of Georgia must stand by the administration,and leave the South to her fate ? If it is not party •ascendency that they seek,why do they strive to place he IVicuds of constitutional re-i.-lunce in i a false position ? Why do they insist .hat all < who are prepared to resist the aggressions ofthe Frvc-soilcrs lire disunionists ? I- it 'heir object , to deceive the people, and by continually crying peace ami union, to operate upon tbeir fears and .prejudices? I- I his the way that these n.en hope t ' gain an ascendency ,in the State which the naople have hitherto refused to give them? And if they should gain the ascendency, vw need not -ask what use lin y will make of tin t | ower. The hisloiy of the past hut too plainly answers this question. The interests of Georgia and of 'the whole South would be sacrificed to promote personal or party objects. If the present diffi -cululiei are not settled to the satisfaction of the "Houth, who will be to blame ? Most certainly these very men who have kept tho South divid ed, and have encouraged the N'orih to contiue their aggressions Let these men who are con tinually crying union, coma out and define their position Do they believe tlint the South figs suffered no wrong—or do they believe that it is the duty ofthe South to suffer patiently all the wrongs which iho North is disposed to inflict? (T/ 1 The London correspondent of the New York Herald, s'ates the commercial tonnage ofthe United States is 20,000 lons more than that of ■Lnglnnd, the former being 3,150,000 tons, and the latter 3,130,000 tons. If this be true, we .nrc of loimsi the first conmicuaal notion in the world. From the Chtrohte Adcoeate. To tljp People of (ieoi'gin. fellow Citiztns —After consultation with *ev" eral gentlemen from different par sos the State* during the lute Fair of the Southern Central Ag ricultural Association held ut Atlanta, the fol lowing resolutions were adopted: "■Resulted, Tout a Committee of five be up poniiited to prepare and publish an Address to the citizens of the Slate generally, respectfully calling their attention to the importance of Common School education, and of some united aeliun for the advancement of that cause. ''Resolved, That the interests of this great cause call for united counsel and co-operation of the entire State; and that for this cud we earnest ly invite each county to take the subject into consideration, and to send Deleales to a Con vention to he hold at such time and place as the above committee, after consultation, may desig nate,for the pm pose of maturing some practicable system of common School education, to be pre sented to the next Legislature.” No subject more deeply concerns us as a State, than that presented in the above resolutions In ail civilized countries, general education is considered of vital importance. Ptoperly conduct ed, it I es at the foundation of all that is valua ble in the political and social relations of man kind; and in proportion as it is general, or limit ed, or thorough, or superficial, so will the State rank in the scale of real greatness. The State of Georgia is rapidly advancing in many respects, to the foremost place among her sisters ofthe South. Her ua ural advantages and resourecs are unsurpassed; and the enterprise and industry of her citizens arc beginning to de velope these resources and to employ these ad> vantages. Her population is rapidly increasing; and her capital begins 10 be largely invested in works ofinienal improvement and commerce.— A laudable attention is beginning to be directed to Agricultural and Artistic improvements, as is abundantly shown in i lie increasing niimberswbo attend our great Agrieul ural Fair, and the interest taken in its exhibitions. In past time, the appeal in belialfof these various improve, meins lias been restricted mainly to the more wealthy and educated, but now it is made to every class of citizens. All are now invoked, especially the farmers and mechanics, to enlist in this common movement for elevating the Slate in all the elements of true greatness. In is to be feared, howeve y that ihe most important means of realising these desires ami expectations is too much overlooked, lie fore the people can be efficiently enlisted ill these enterprises, they must he enabled to un derstand the nature and extent of the desired im. provetneuts,the means by which they are to be uccornplslied, arid the in erest which every citi zen has in the results In no other way can a general and steady co-coperation be secured. Now this is the business of education, intel lectual and moral, extending t) every class of our white population. Georgia lias recognized this truili from the earliest days of tier existence as a btulc. Her first Constitution adopted in 1777, provides that “Schools shall be creeled in each county, and supported ul the general expense of the Slate." The endowment of the University,and of Cotin tv Academies, and appropriations for common and poor School , have followed at ditTerent pe riods in obedience to this provision of our first Constitution. And in addition to these provi sions by the State, private munificence has fur nished the means of establishing many valuable institutions oflcarning for both malcsand females But while these various institutions furnish a highly creditable provision for academic learn ing in our Slate, all the attempts ol our Legisla tore to establish Common Schools have been singularly unsuccessful. Various schemes have been adopted, and then abandoned as failures. So that after all that has been expended, there is a lamentable deficiency ofgood Common Schools in the State. The means of a good common education are not furnished to the mass of our pupiila ion. And yet such an education is the right ufevery citizen under our Constitution The blessings derived by all from our higher setn inariesare indeed great,uudwe desire to see them cherished and sustained ; but yet vastly more is due to the great body of the people who cannot avail themselves of these higher ad van. ages. What then is to he done ? Snail vve allow this sad deficiency to continue ? Shall this greatest hindrance to the elevation of our Stale still exist ? The failure of our common school systems heretofore is mainly attributable to three causes : 1. They have not been adapted in their do. tails to the actual condition and wanjs ofour population. 2. There lias been no adequate supply of well qualified common School Teachers. 3. There has been too little interest felt gone, rally in the subject itself. To remove these obstacles, and to put in ope ration some practicable and efficient plan cfgene ral education, is confessedly a work of great dif ficulty. This difficulty is felt especially in those portions of the State where the white popula tion is very sparse. But yet something must be done, and we think the undertaking a practica ble one, if entered upon w ith an earnest zeal. During the Sessions of our Legislature there are so many exciting questions, and conflicting interests, that little time is left for the considera tion of this subject, about which so few feel any real concern, in addition to this, few of our Legislators have either the materials, or the thorough acquaintance with the subject itself, from which to digest any comprehensive plan of general education. Committees have several times been appointed during the recess of the Legislature, but they have either failed to report or been unable tosuggest any practicable scheme. Perhaps therefore no suggestion promises bet. ter results than the second resolution under which we now write. If Delegates be sent from the several Counties, chosen with reference to this single matter, we may hope for some good result from their united wisdom and zeal. We feel assured that the Legislature would not he back ward to adopt tile well digested rccommenda. lions of such a body ; and in any event, the. meeting and deliberation* of such a Convention w ould tend to inspire new in crest into the pub. lie mind on this important subject. We therefore earnestly invite each County to take up the subject, and to send Two Delegates t-i a Convention to lx- held in he Ci vof Macon, on the Second U KDNEsDAY in DF.Cf MUEK Next, lor the purpose of taking into consideration i lie whole question of common school education. Delegates should go prepared with all the necessary statistical information ns to the area, number of childrt n, number of schools, See. — The first Tuesday in November would probably he a suitable day fur the appointment of Dele gates. Let all the friends of common education whether many or few, determine to act promptly in this business, that every portion of the Stute may take part in those de iberationa for the common welfare. Nothing is more worthy of our prompt and earnest attention. Fellow Citizens : This is emphatically the cause of the I’eople—thet which tends to elevate and bless every one of our population. It deeply concerns ur advancement in all the clementsof true greatness, physical, political, social, intellectual anil moral. And wo are sure we utter the feeling of every true Georgian, when we sav, that in all these charactef islies of great ness we desire our State to stand unrivalled, not by the depression of others, but by raising her self to that commanding position.

DR&a&o GEORGE VV. TOWNS, Governor of said State. To the Electors t./ureqf-~Greeling : Having been officially informed, that the Con gress of the United State* hns admitted California into the Union of the States of this Confederacy, upon equal terms with the original States, a duty devolves upon me in the performance of which, I shall trespass upon the public but briefly. An unfeigned deference for public opinion, and the profound regard I entertain for the wis dnm, firmness, and patriotism of my fellow citi zens of Georgia, will not justify me, in a paper ot this character, in repeating my known and unchanged opinion as to the duty of the South in repelling Iree-soil encroachment, and arrest ing, by all proper means, usurpation by Congress. W hatever is compatible with the honor and obligations of the People of ibis State to the country, its laws, and its institutions, I doubt not, will receive their warm support. In an hour of danger—when your institutions ure in jeopardy—your feelings wantonly out* raged, your social organization derided, your honor deeply wounded and the Federal Consti tution violated by a series ofnggressive measures all lending to the consummation of one object, the abolition of slavery when vour equal right to occupy and enjoy the common territory of all, lias been denied you, in the solemn form oflaw, under pretences the most shallow, it well be comes you to assemble, to deliberate, and coun sel together for your mutual preservation and safety. Whatever course the extraordinary events by which we are encompassed, will demand or jus tify, must be left, as it should be, to the patriot ism, firmness and prudence of the people them selves. Upon them devolves the duty of re dressing present wrongs, and providing other safeguards, for future security- Neither the one nor the other of which, however, will ever be effectually accomplished, until, by patriotic ef forts, perlect harmony’ and concord of feeling are restored, and confidence and concert of ac tion producep among the people of the South. In view, therefore, of the atrocious free soil sentiment and policy, not merely of the non slaveholding States, but of the Government—of the imminent peril to which the institution of slavery is reduced by the act of Congress admit ting the Slate of California into the Union, with a Constitution containing the principle of the VV ilmot Proviso, in defiance of our warning and earnest remonstrance—in view ofthe deplorable iact that some diversity of opinion exists in some ofthe Southern States as to the proper mode of redressing the wrongs, and averting the dangers which all must see and feel, let me, fellow citi zens, earnestly entreat you to cultivate for each other a deep and abiding sentiment of fraternal regard and confidence. Approach the task, from which there is no escape, ol deciding upon your duty to Georgia and the country, with a firm step, hut not without calm, deliberate and pa tient investigation, consulting neither fears nor dangers on the one hand, nor permitting your seltes, from exasperated feelings of wrong on the other, to be rashly urged to extreme measures which have not received the full sanction ofyour judgment. Then 1 shall not despair of seeing the whole State, as one man, proposing nothing beyond what the emergency mny demand, or failing to perform whatever patriotism, honor and right, may require at your hands. Ihe General Assembly of this State, by an act approved Bth February, 1850, having requir ed me, upon the happening of certain events, one of which is the admission of California as a State into the Lnion, to issue a proclamation, ordering an election to be held in each and every county for Delegates to a Convention of the People of this State, to take into consideration such meas ures as comport with the extraordinary posture ofour relations to our eo-Stntes, and to decide upon what steps are necessary and proper to be taken compatible with our honor and constitu tional obligations, as well as more effectually to secure our right ofproperty iu slaves, and to ar rest all aggressions, by one section of tho Union, upon the free enjoyment of the constitutional rights of tho other, and lastly to preserve invio late the equality of the States of the Union, as guarantied under the Constitution : Therefore, he it known, that I, Grotto* VV. Towns, Gov ernor ot the Stale ofGeorgin, by the authority and mnndato of the law, do issue this my Pro. clamation ordering and directing that the quali fied Voters fur the most numerous branch ofthe General Assembly, do meetat the several places of holding Elections, as fixed bv law. in the sev era! Counties of this State, within the hours fixed for voting, on MONDAY, the Twen.v-fifth day of NOVEMBER Next ; and then and there, by ballot,elect two Delegates in each ofthe Coun ties now entitled to one Representative in the General Assembly, and four Delegates in such Counties as are now entitled to two Represen tatives. The Managers of said Election are required to certify and forward to this Department the Returns of said Election in the manner prescrib ed bv law; for the election of Representatives in the General Assembly ; and it is further order ed that the Delegates who may he olected by a majority of the legal voters of their respective Counties, do convene at the Capitol of said State on TUESDAY,the Tenth day of DECEMBER Next.
