Bouthrrv Wheat Crora.~>W have advioes,
says t Liu New York Courier, from Georgia and
North Carolina, which we regard as more than
usually reliable, respecting the wheat crop. In
Georgia, the crop has ftu{farad some from the rust,
but, on the whole, will yield a fair average, and
new wheat rnny he expected in June. In North
Carolina, extensive damage is reportod to have
been done by the rust. The high price which it
Is expected will rule fur good wheatM in June and
July, will probably induce every effort to get the
Southern crop early to market—which railroads
and steamships greatly facilitate, as compared
with former years. _ _

The Scene nf the struggle In Europe
To render intelligible the various newspaper
accounts of the struggle which now threaten*
Europe with a general eonflagrstion, it is necessa
ry for tho reader to understand the geography of
theoountry, where is circumscribed the seat of
war. This made plain, the reader will have no
difficulty in comprehending the import of every
telegraphic dispatch and tbs movements of the
contending armies. Sardinia is only about one
hundred miles in breadth. Its principal King
doms are Savoy, Piedmont and Genoa. Savoy,
its northwest Kingdom, is conterminous along its
entire length with Franco, it ally. Piedmont is
the centre and Genoa, the South-Eastern King
dom, touche* party Austria, its eueuiy. Switz
erland is on the North and the Duchy of Parma
supply a part of the Southern boundary of Sar
dinia. Austrian Lombardy, where the Austrians
have now gathered in large forces, form a part of
the eastern boundary of Sardinia—the river
Ticino, being the line of division. On the west,
tho Alp is the border. So the territory where
tb struggle will for the present, at least, be con
fined, will be limited on the east by tbe river
Ticino, and ou the west by the Aips—a distance
only, as above stated, of about one hundred
miles. Within this space, where is confined the
%cen of action, is the principal fortress of Sardin
ia, upon which site rolios with oonfidonen for se
curity. This territory is called Piedmont. The
river Po divides it from west to est. Above the Po
to the Swiss Alps the country is plain and level.
This is left entirely exposed to the Austrians, who
will moot with no opposition in taking possession,
if they desire It. Houth of the Po, however, down
to Genoa, on tbe lake, the country is mountainous
and takes in its range the strong holds of the Sar
dinians, namely, Alessandria, Casalo andTortona.
On the west, in thn dnbti.>u of the Alps, nlsuds
I'urio, the capital of tbe Btate. This is the city
whioh the Austrians are reported as being on their
march to capture from Milan, a town in their
own Kingdin. A straight line drawn across tbe
map from Milan to Briancon, in France, where
the French pass on their march to th* Alps, will
ruu through Turin. Th* distunco from Husa,
where the French halt after crossing the Alps, to
Turin, is about thirty threo miles. The distunco
from Buffalora, where tbe Austrians passed the
Ticino, on the same line, to Turin, is seventy
miles. Thus, it will be men, that the Austriaus
have double the distance to travel that the French
have to reach Turin. But this inequality is more
than compensated by tho natural difficulties at
tending the two roads. From Buffalora to Turin,
on tbe loft bank of tbe Po, the Austrians march
from west to east through a plain country, easily
traversed, and can mako great timed. Tbe French
on tbe contrary, have the Alps to pass at Mont
Genie, which is now covered with snow, and a
very difficult task to perform. The time lost in
their slowucss of travel over this mountain bar
rier is gained in the distance overcome by the
Austriaus through a smooth country.
If then, it Is tho policy of Austria to capture
Turin and dictate terms t> # hr enemies, it is very
easily accomplished. With one hundred and
twenty thousand men, it would bo no great under
taking to reduce the walls of Turin to ashes be
fore tbe arrival of a sufficient number of French
troops to make the .Sardinians offer a respectable
resistance. If the fate of tbe war depended upon
the capture of this city, it would require no expe
rienced observer of the times to anticipate the
end. But Austria, notwithstanding her vantage
ground, will display very bail generalship to
push forward to take this city. Albeit she might
occupy it, it would only shear her of her strength,
ami deprive her of hor position before the war
olosed.
Supposing, however, Turin taken by the Aus
trians, as it is reported they urn bent upon this
design, then, the left flank of the Austrian army
ia exposed to tho Sardinians from the South, who
are lying thick at Alessandria. Connected, as
this point is, with a railway to Genoa, which the
French can reach by sea from Toulon, only a dis
uiuce of fifty union, tho allied army would march
uorth to the Po, and intercept the line of commu
nication of the Austrians with their own King
'ilvMb.and cut oft’ all r*infnn-.ini>ni, and aun-
in tho meantime, France could Mud a force by
Genua to Alessaudria, that would crush the Aus
trians at Turin. Austria has more generalship
than to commit such a blunder. Her policy is to
staud nl-ill and fortify herself 8h is now op
posed by two bodies of the enemy—one at Turin
directly facing her nndd rawing rs inforceracn is ev
ery day from the French through the passage of
the Alps. The other Hanking her at the South at
Alessandria and Fannie ami receiving supplies
and aid from Ueuon. where the French have ne
eds by way of tho sea. From this, it will he seen,
t hat Austria bus a foe in front of her and one, al
so, on her left.
From these two basis of o|*erations, via., Genoa
on the Sea, and Suia noar tho Alps, tho allied
lowers possess a great advantage.
Tho diotance from those two points to the prin
cipal iortressesot the Sardinian Kingdom is not
great. From Genoa on the seaboard to Aleaaan
dria, it is only 46 tuilcs. From Sum, on the
Wed, to Turin, it is only 33 miles. At both Susa
ami Genoa, the Sardinians can be relieved by
their Allies, from Genoa to Aroua, iu tho
North, the point, occupied by tho Austrians,
it i one hundred and teu miles. From Arona, in
uwostwardiy direction, to Susa it is about the
same distance. Thns is the field of operations cir
cumscribed within narrow limits.
Whoro tbo Austrians now lie encamped at
Novara, Mortara, andVereeli, they are near their
own Kingdom und hence have access to supplies.
Unloss they are sufficiently stroug to march with
one division of thuir army more than seventy
miles to the West and capture Turin and with the
tithor Southward to Alessandria, a distance of
more than sixty miles, and take this fortress, pol
icy would suggest tliat they keep the bulk of their
army at a fortified spot near the Ticino, forcing
tho allied forces to make (ho attack.
It will not have escaped uotieo that Mortara,
being the stronghold of tho Austrians, and Genoa
the point where Napoleon 11., will command in
pvrsou his Imperial Guard and concentrate the
flower of his army, that an engagement is more
probable ou the line to Alessandria than on the
route to Turiu.
The report that tho Austrian army had blown
up the bridge of Uuffalora after crossing it into
ibe enemy’s country, we are disposed to doubt.—
Surely, it could Ih> of uo advantage to Austria to
cut off her own means of retreat and receiving
re enforcements, when there was no danger of her
enemy following her up in the rear.
I pun tho whole, then, we tire disposed to think
that Austria never contemplated iurading Sardin
ian territory further than was necessary to ac
complish some political wove, which may assist
her iu the settlement of the Italian quoatiou. She
will remain in our opinion upon tho ground she
now occupies, confident that she is too strong to
be overcome.

ftoithen Convention
This body closed its session of five days at Vicks
burg, Mississippi on Friday last, to meet at At
lanta Georgia on the second Monday in Novem
her 1860. We learn from the True Southron that
after an exciting debate of three days duration, i.
vote was taken on tbe resolution directing tin
publication, by tbe Convention, of the address oi
Hon. L. W. Hpratt, of Houth Carolina, in favoi
of re-opening tbe African Slave Trade. Th*
vote was taken by States, the delegation frou.
each State costing the number of votes to which
U is entitled in the electoral college, and stood,
ayes, 44, nays, 19.
Alabama, Arkansas Louisiana, Texas, Geor
gia and Mississippi voting in favor of, and Ten
nessee and Florida against the resolution. Tbe
South Carolina delegation was divided equally.
The 12 negative votes which were given by Ton
neasee were cast by a delegate from Memphis, ap
pointed by tho Mayor of that City, who atated
that he did not feel authorized to cast tho vote oi
the State, nevertheleas, as it was insisted on, he
gave a negative vote, thus making IV instead of
7 votes, as it would hare been in opposition to the
resolution.
On tbe fourth day, Mr. Johuson, from tbe com
mittee on resolutions, made the following re
port I
1 have been intrusted to report back to tbe con
vention, for its consideration, with a slight
amendment to the third, the threo first resolu
tions offered by Mr. Coleman, a delegate iron)
Louisiana:
Resolved, That in the opinion of this conven
tion, it is oHnential to the prosperity of tbe Union,
its coutinaod existence end it* future advance
meut, that at leant one line of railroads should be
constructed immediately from tbe Mississippi riv
er to the Pacific Ocean.
Resolved, That the Southern Atlantic States,
on tbe Gulf of Mexico, ami the States on tbe Pa
eifle Ocean, are especially interested in tbe com
pletion of the line of railroads, on tbe 32d psrul
lei of north latitude, from Charleston and ftavan
nan, Uy w UJ >f MunlHUUirjr Alutininn, 4 lay
the Southern Railroad to Vicksburg on the Miss
issippi river, thence by the Vicksburg, Shreve
port, and Texas Railroad, across the .State of
Louisiana to Marshall Texas, thence by a South
ern Pacific Railroad across the State of Texas,
and to the Pacific Ocean ; and that the same is
the shortest and most practicable route for the
transportation of freight and passengers from tbe
Houthcru Atlantic and Mississippi and Gulf
Htates, and the most convenient and available at
all times for the transportation of the soldiers sod
munitions of war of tho United .States to the Pa
cific Rtates.
Resolved, That this great and important line
of .Southern railway is most earnestly recommen
ded to the people of the several States through
which it passes, upon the grounds that when com
pleted it will constitute a must pownrful instru
ment to combine and strengthen tbe South, es
tablish its commercial independence, develop its
vast agricultural resources and promote the geuo
ral prosperity of the whole Union.
I have also been instructed to report tbo fol
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That this convention have received
with much satisfaction a communication from the
municipal authorities of Momphis, upon the sub
joct of direct tride between the Southern port”
and the continent of Europe at Ghent or An
twerp, and that the wholo correspondence be re
commended to the consideration of the Southern
public.
I have also been instructed to report beck,
without amendment, for the consideration of the
convention, the following resolutions, presented
by the Ui*u. John J Mcßae, delegated from Miss
issippi:
Iteeolutione on tie Aercndenry of ike United Slate
in the Gulf of Jftxico.
Resolved, That the interest* and necessities of
the South, as well as of the entire country, n
quire the permanent ascendency of the United

Resolved, That the success of the Republican
party in the election of a President of the 1 mted
State*, by a sectional majority in 1860, upon the
principles above declared, will be a virtual disso
littiouof the compact of the existing union of the

meet immediately id Convention to determine the
mode and mean* of upholding the Constitutional
Government as it at present exists, by preventing
the installation into office of a Republican Presi- |
dent, and the inauguration of the Republican
party in power, or, failing in that, to resolve the
Mlaveholding Stales into a separate, independent
organisation, with such constitutional form of
Government as will beat secure their safety, their
honor, their rights and institutions, and make
them a power of ths earth.

Mr Judge’s Letter
It is amusing to witness the efforts of our abb
cotemporary of the Montgomery Mail to e:;trieat.
Mr. Judge from the blunders he committed in hi
recent letter to the voters of tbs 3d Congressiona
District of Alabama. From the day he wrote his
letter to the present time, the J/ut/, with all tbt
icumen of an able barrister, ha* been explaining
its 41 animus.” A deod in Court was never sub
jected to such scrutiny and of suoh doubtful
phraseology as to be interpreted by Us “animus.’
It is quite clear that Mr. Judge does not say, nor
does be say, that bo will advocate a diasolution in
tbe event a Black Republican is elected President.
He yore with Alabama ! Has no voice to utter
bimsolf! Oh no! tbe people must determine the
question and I (Mr. Judge) will not “gainsay”
it! Tbe people will bring in a verdict of con
demnation against Mr. Judge in August; will lie
“yainsuy” it ? Will he acknowledge this judgment
and yield his own convictions to its eorreetnett?
Or will he die in the faith of bis principles, and,
like a true patriot, who, rather than submit to the
will of a Slate Convention, which to him was odi
ous in tbe extreme, would raise the banner of
“right and the Constitution"—would appeal from
mere “ party ism to the people”—would vindicate
the honor and integrity of bis State at all hazard*
—would lift tho kocn blade of his own acini iter
above the eloud of submission and lei it bristle
beneath tbe bright light of a Southern *uu !
The true lover of tbe South would never hesitate
to proclaim tho truth, albeit, a State Convention
frowned upon bis principles—would never hesitate
to “gainsay” its decree —would combat tho de
potism of an unhealthy public soulirnent with all
the tool of a religious conviction. This is what a
patriot would do, and not the artful dodger, wb-.se
aim is to secure the votes of Southern men by a
sham display ofsouthern enthusiasm.

Internal Improvement < onvrnllnn
The question of State aid iu the construction
of railroads excites a very deep iiilerct iu Ueor
“For several legislatures it has been dis. uss
ed, and different plum- have received a strong sup
port, showing that if there could be unity among
all their friends, Ktute aid would triumph. Nuw,
in order to bring about ibis necessary eoDccutra
tration, we propose that a convention of ail the
friends of Maio aid of Georgia, iu auy shape, he

first Wednesday iu August as the time. What

We presume our cotempornry has no desire to
give to the policy of f*late aid the sanctiuu of a
legislative endorsement in opposition tothewinh
es of the people. They have to foot the hills,
pay the taxes, and it is just and proper that they
should decide upon tbe objects to which the mo
ney shall be appropriated. Now, in view of this,
we propose an amendment to the proposition of
our cotemporary. It i that, previous to the as
sembling of a convention for tbe purpose above
referred to, tbe voters of tbe State be allowed to

the people, to expres* on their ballots, at the next
succeeding election, their cboiee iu reference to
this matter. This would quiet tho question,
avoid the consumption of much time and the ex

receive would bury its agitation for twenty

News from Europe.
The Commercial intelligence from Europe to be
I found iu our Telegraphic Column this morning,
J is highly important. The sudden transition which
j has taken place in the Cotton, Breadstuff* and
.Money markets indicates, cither that there is a
, prospect of an amicable settlement between the
belligerent parties on tbe continent, or that tbe
contest, on tbe verge of which they are trembling,
will bo less extensive in its involutions than has
heretofore, recently, been supposed. The sudden
decline in Cotton and Consols, aud the equally
rapid advance in Breadstuff*, which were a few
days sinco reported, were to be attributed in some
measure, to tbe belief that Russia had joined
France in her defence of Italy. Thi* rumor, for
which the London Time* is responsible, excited
great alarm in England, and very justly. Had
it been true, tho probability would have been
greatly increased that England would ultimately
be drawn into tbe conflict. Reasons, both com
mercial and political, might have urged her, with
a persuasiveness which she could not withstand,
to enlist in behalf of Austria against a combina
tion, of tbe ulterior object of which very little
doubt could have been cutcrtained. The report
ed alliance proving to be unfounded, may well ac
count for the commercial and mouetury reaction,
independent of our speculation, as to a pacific ar
rangement between tbe parties already in the
field.

Farmers, like every other class of men, may

nre the conttitutional detpondenlt, whose minds
ire ever throwing dark clouds over tho brightest
landscapes, and changing the greenest valleys in

laol living for themselves and families all their
Ives, yet arc they filled with continual appre
hensions of a famine. Thera are modifications of
ibis as well us of the other types.
2d. There are tbe exaygeratiitt, whose mind*
can easily swell a mole-hill into a mountain. —
And this is constitutional, too, to some extent, and
whether so ur not, tbe Devil, the father of Lias, is
always prompt to render efficient aid.
With thews, crops are always good and they've
got the best of every tbiug. It won’t he a month
from to-day, before they will begin to talk about
making a bag of cotton, and fifty bushels of corn
to the acre, although they never made the third of
it in thtir lives—and six and eight bag* to tbe
hand, when they have never made more than

TALBOT COUNTY.
Democratic Meeting of Muscogee
Tn response to a previous call, a respectable
number of tho Democratic party of Muscogee
county, assembled in Convention, at tho Court
House, to-day at 12 o'clock. When, upon mo
tion of Col Porter Ingram, Major Wiley Williams
was called to tbe Chair, and upon motion of Dr.
Boswell, II M Jeter was requested to act as Sec
retary.
The Chairman, in a few brief remarks, explain
ed the object of the meeting to be, for the ap
tWy**"*•* .* “ r fopuraton jn the Gubernatorial and
Congressional Conventions.
Maj Charles J William* moved that a Commit
tee of five be appointed by the Chairman, to re

While the committee was absent, our fellow
citixen, James Hamilton, Esq., now of Memphis,
lenn., in response to tbe call of the mooting, came
forward und addressed the Convention with his
usual ability and eloquence. The Democracy of
Muscogee, were rejoiced to listen once more ii the
encouraging appeals of him who so often aud so
efficiently, in days of yore, rallied and cheered
them on to battle. Wherever Democracy finds an
enemy, that enemy will find in Hamilton a foe
ins n worthy of his steel.
The Committee, after a short absence, reported
the following resolutions and delegates to the two
Conventions.
Jte—ived, That tbe administration of Governor
Brown has been highly satisfactory to the Demo
cracy of Muscogee county, and we believe, to a
I*rge majority of the people of Georgia ; and as a
just reward tor the ability, zeal and tideliiy which
have character!tad bis official conduct, and in ac
cordance with Democratic usage, wo consider
him entitled to a re-nominatiun for a second
term.
Hrnofrerl, That wo instruct our delegates to
rote for him, and desire them to understand that
he is our first choice, and that we wish and ex
pect them to give him a cordial and determined
support.
Reeolved, That wo heartily approve the warm
patriotic and truly Southern sentiment* so ably
and manfully uttered by our distinguished fellow
citixen. tbe lion Alfred Iverson, in the Senate of
the United State*, in his speech upon the Pacific
Railroad bill, as well as his general course aud
conduct as one of the Senators from this State.—
We consider it due to him, jnst to Georgia, and
important to the whole South that he should he
re-elected to tbe petition which be has illustrated
and adorned by bis ability, eloquence aud teal
in defence of the Constitutional rights of the
Southern tHte*.
Reotreri, That we cordially approve the offi
cial conduct nr our Representative in Congress
the Hon. Martin J. Crawford, and whilst we do
not claim an extensive right to the oily of Colum
bu*. or the county of Muscogee, of furukhing the
Congressional Candidate fur this District. Yet,
we should feel highly Haltered and gratified, to
find him the choice of the Convention and the fa

With the view, therefore, to place
right upon the record, and to elicit from the Dent
ocracy if the ntato an opinion upon the subject*
heretofore mentioned, be it.
Resolved. — Tbat the administration of Jarno
Buchanan, from its inception to the present date,
has been a miserable and ridiculous failure, and
tbat if continued upon the same line of policy it
will assuredly, destroy the organization known
as the Democratic party and most probably the
American Union.
To which resolutions Jxo. A. Joses Exq.,
moved the following substitute:
Whereas the principles upon which the Detno
cratic party bases its organization and professes to
act have been time and again announced to the
country through its National Convention* ; and
whereas, upou the strength and virtue of these
principles the present administration received tbe
confidence of the people and went into power;
and wheren*, we heliove these principle* have been
disregarded, and tbe pledges by us made been vio
lated, and, whereas, it is the duty of the members
of that party who claim to be freemen, to express
frankly their sentiment* upon any question invol
ving the conduct of those whom they have placed
in power, therefore, be it
Resolved, Tbat the Democracy of this County
find little reason to congratulate tbe conntry up
on tbe administration of James Buchanan.
The amendment and substitute were resided by
Charles J. Williams, Porter Ihoram and
James M. Russel, and upon motion of Gexl.
Williams, were laid on the table.
Tbe report of tbe Committee was then unani
aouiily adopted.
Upon motion of B. A-Tborivto*. Gkk. Charles
