Our prospect for a fruit crop this ,ar is excellent Peach, apple aud plum trees are mpli tely overladen with procious fruit. The Ncwnan (Ga.) Herald says: There is a great complaint among our farmers about die cotton plant coming up and then dying. Tins id is attributable to defective seed. There i9 every ptwpect, at present, that not more than a half crop rill be raised, even when the yield of the same quau- ::y t*f land us is now in cultivation in former years is •jen into consideration. The prospect of a large wheat crop in this section of jtirgia is good. Tho Rome Courier says: We regret to learn that in ■ii* section of Georgia, and adjoining counties of ‘.U/ima, quite a large number of planters are plow- •_ q. their cotton, on account of their being such a i stands.” The prospective tax of five cents a :,,.nd on cotton so disheartens the planters that they _r« bm little patience to nursa tho sickly plant.

He declares he Is not seeking for power, but says he will place himAlf under the lead of Juarez.

Congressional. Washington, May 15.—House.—Mr. Bidweli intro- third stories of both houses were destroyed, and the second story badly damaged. Foreign News. The last steamer from Europs brings the following news: The Italian Government has called out 150,000 men. The Florence correspondence of the Times says there cau be no doubt that the Italian Government desires war as the only means of extrication from an exceedingly false and difficult^ituation. Austro-Prussian relations show no improvement: Berlin dispatches talk of probable increased arma ments by Prussia. Napoleon presided at the Council' on the 30th, to consider the Austrian proposition tfiat Austria and Italy should simultaneously disarm. One rumor says that it was determined at the meet ing to prevent Italy from taking the aggressive, and to insist on pease. , The latest per City of Paris, by telegraph to Queens town, dated Liverpool, May 3d, says: The intelligence from Germany and Italy continues menaciug, and armaments are vigorously pushed forward. The Italian fleet had left Genoa. An Austrian iron clad has received orders to put to sea. Her destination is believed to bo the Gorman ocean and the Baltic. A Berlin telegram says the reply of the Austrian government to the last Prussian dispatch, received on the 29th, states that Austria will withdraw to the in terior the troops now defending the Prussian fron tier,-but will at the same time continue the armies against Italy. Tho Russian troops on the frontier are said to have advanced to Austrian territory. Au unautheuticated rumor in Vienna says that Austria inteuds a proposal for the European Con gress.

His name has been enrolled in the “Book of Jiobics.” and a splendid mansion h»s been offered him by a wealthy proprietor ct Kostroma, for. the pur pose ol enabling him to property support his new dig nity. At a recent grand banquet, tendered him by the nobility of St. Petersburg, Komissarof gave the follow ing account of the manner in which' the attempted as sassination was foiled : “I do not know myself what strange feeling possessed me when I saw that man pressing through tho crowd. I was watching him. but when the Emperor came up he went Out out of my mind. All at once I saw him draw a pistol and aim at the Emperor. 1 bethought niyselt that it 1 rushed upon him he would kill some oue else or,- J perhaps, myself, and without more ado I struck up j his arm. Tire pistol went off and after that I do not 1 recollect anything. I was as it were in the midst of a was mg, and when I came to myself I saw a General who embraced me. I was taken to the palace, but I was stunned, and it was an hour and a half before I'cpuld speak.” the propoaitiona were passed ; the resolution as of fered was adopted by 87 to 22.
