A recent Irip to South-Western Georgia favc us an opportunity to judge of tho growing crops in that leolion of tho State. The prospect is la mentable, almost beyond conception. Such, in deed, never before mine under our observation. From Columbus to Macon, and from Fort Valley to Dawson, wo ?av. r not a epot of corn from which a third of ;v crop can be expected. Wo posted liel ‘ after field in which tho fodder was dead to ! the top blade, and not a shoot in visw. Corn that was planted very early, that bat m ir* rs the tU*tk, and holds nothing but an empty, withwn-d Khuck. Os cotinse, it has pns.*cd the period of redemption l>y rain—another deluge could not improve it, nor, in a large majority of oases, doit much damage. We learn that thv country through which tho road passe* is a fuir sample of the whole section, and, further, that in Stewart, Quitman,, Clay, Randolph anjd Early counties, the crops aro equally unpromising. It is impossible that a supply cun he made iy that portion of the State, unless a substitute for bread can bo manufactured from roots and weeds. The i pea crop is a total failure. It literally died of thirst. Cotton looks almost us had a* corn, but it can stand a lotiger drought nod hs a longer time to make. The bottom crop has nearly van ished, the weed if and wilted, hut with good seasons and a late frost many planters cun probably make enough cotton to buy their corn. To make tho two ends meet is tho highest calcu lation of the most hopeful. We learn that from Macon to Savannah the country has not suffered so severely, but,as that portion of thp State is not very productive, much aid cannot bo expected from it to supply the deficiency elsewhere. North- Eastern Georgia and Tennessee is our only reli ance, and if the supply in that, quarter should fortunately ho abundant, the shipments of grain next spring and summer, Southward, will tax the State and intervening roads to their utmost ca pacity. Dr Lewis had better order more rolling stock at once. In thn meantime the planter.? in the blighted district should make large and early fall plantings of small grain. With a favorable v. inter. <m*> lo harvested in that section hy the middle of June, ami wi.h this crop their stock can do very well with but littlo corn. Our last, and next,best advice to them b, never he caught by a short crop with so little old torn on hand. Plant more of tho “staple of life.*’ In an aver age of “ten years it will pay us well as cotton at j ton cents, and if it jihould not, fat mules, fat nc- J groos and a plenty of fat hogs will bo adequate consolation, us wella.< compensation for tho wV- I Ud-c. Arridcnt on the Soilfh-Wcxtera Railroad I IVe learn from Mr. (ioorge Langford, a Con | ducloron the above road, that, on Friday last, a [ portion of,hi* train was tbr wn from the track a 1 Ifow miles east of Cnthbort. The cars were run nitig at the speed of twenty-five miles an hour, i wheu a cow, attempting to cross immediately bts J lVtre tho train, was knocked down by tho engine j and passed over by nil except the second class and passenger ears. These were thrown off, on a considerable embankment, tho former turning completely over, and the latter renting on the side. The scats were ult torn up and tho paxaenger', about twenty in number, were hurted violently i against the hot tom side. One lady, Mrs. Dr. Turner, of Dawson, was dangerously, if not la, tally injured; her husband, Dr. Turner, received j a fracturo of the arm. and *everal others were ] considerably braised. No blamo is attached to Engineer for the accident.

The inquirer vs. John Hell About ten days since it. became our duty to correct tho Enquirer of error ia its position that tho Kansas-Nobraskn bill contained squatter sovereignty. We did this by showing a perfect identity hciwocu the provisions of that kill, In respect to slavery’, and thoso of (he bills estab lishing T'-rrit. rial governments for Utah and New Mexico - the Enquirer admitting and contend ing tlmt the latter did not recognise tho obnoxi ous principle. We wero content to let our neigh ’ Lor havt* the ‘fliisf say” because it . c nid nothing to ife answered —re affirming its positions without argument, whilst ours was imprcgnahly fortified by the record. tSnhscquont rending, however, has acquainted us with an Authority which the Enquirer will not daroto attack, and being anx ious to prevent any further clashing of opinions between it and tho immaculate lender, wo will quote a few lines from tho speech of John Bell on tho LccotupUm Constitution. They nro pertinent to the issue between us, and distinctly declare the position which wo urged and sustained, Mr. Bell was considering the Kansas organic law, which, after describing the boundaries of tho pro posed Territory, proceeds to declare that —‘‘Tho s uae is hereby erected into a temporary govern ment by the name of the Territory of Kansas; and when admitted as u State or States, (if divi ded) tho .said Territory, or any portion of tho imc, shall bo received into tho Union, with or without slavery, as their constitution may pro scribe at tho time of their admission,” and said: “Tho organic law. of Now Mexico, Utah aud Wnra.-k.i, contain similar provisi ns, without, the variation of a word. I make no account of tho other clause in the Kansas organic law, which provides that its true intent and meaning was to leavo the peoplo to form their domestic institu tions in their own way ; because T agree with the Seuaiorfrom Georgia , that that gives not our jut of power which was not given to the jnupla of the Territories of’ Utah, Nei” Mexico aud Nebraska by their organic lares.'’ Well, seeing that tho Enquirer’s cadidato for tho Presidency is squarely on our side of tho question, will it. lunger persist in denying that there is a perfect agreement between tho legisla tion of ls;.o and that of 1854 in respect to slave ry ‘! Will it still insist that there is squatter sovereignly in the Kunsas-Nebrnska bill? If yea, v.e will convict it of being the advocate of that doctrine in supporting John Bell. The only clause in that bill on which the charge of squat ter sovereignty is based—the clause upon which the Enquirer has harped during this whole dis cussion, is contained in tho amendment proposed by Mr. Dougins to section 14, in which, after de claring Ibis repeal ot the Missouri compromise, proceeds “It being the truohitcnt and meaning of thi? act not to legislate slavery into any Territo ry *>r State, nrr t** exclude it therefrom, hut t> leavothc pcplo thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their tonic-tic institutions in their own way, sublett only to tho Constitution of tho Uni ted Start*/ On tho loth of February, 185-1, John Bell, of Tonncmec, the Opposition candidate for tlie Presi dency, the Enquirer’* pot, Vot. and for the ohttrr aiiiriid.nr.nl, an tit was curried Now what about ( olumhUHfitiardH and Zouave Cadet*.

Lot. it bo remembered, whenever thi- subject was brought beforo Congress, John 801 l voted ido by ride with John IRiinry Adam? and J* b ua lt.Giddings, rank abolitionists. Let, it be remembered, that. John 801 l voted against the repeal of thlsJodiOus restriction up • n tho South the Missouri CVunproinl*u mul against tho lvau'-av Nubraska bill; and that the i American parly or Georgia, in Convention, do i lared that any man thus voting wn? unworthy of Southern confidence or of association with any political party at the South. L it bercinemhered, that John Bell voted for tho admission of California, voting against such men ns Berrien, Barnwell of rt. C., Butler, Clemens, Davis of Mi**., Dawson ami others, I'ml with such men ns Chuso of Ohid, llatulin, of Maine Howard of New York, and WiQthrop, of Massachusetts. Let it ho remembered, that in 1858, John 8011, then a Senator in Congress, voted against tho admission of Kansas under tho Loconipton Con dilution, and that all parties at tho South had previously declared that a refusal to admit Kan sas under tlm Looompton Constitution would boa violation of a “good” and “plain'’ Constitutional right. Lot it bo remembered, that John Bell has • peatedly, within tho last two years announced publicly that ho would coalesce with the Black Republicans to save tho Union. Lot it bo remembered, that John Bell ha - late- 1 ly been interrogated, as to whether he Is in favor of tho protection of the rights of slave property in the territories, and that ho had refused to an swer. Let it bo remembered, that John Bell was prominently spoken of as a candidate for tho Black Republican nomination at Chicago. Let it be remembered, that John Bell is as far as it goes, indcntical with that of a Black Repub lican party, both professing to sustain the Con stitution the Union, and the enforcement of the laws. Let it lie remembered, that Edward Everett, tlio Opposition candidate for Vico President, sub scribed to a testimonial to Clmrh . Fnmner, thn notorious abolitionist and foul-mouthed calum niator of the South, after ho was justly caned by the lamented Brooks. Lot it bo remouiborod, that this same Edward Everett said, in a letter written long afterwards, that ho agroed with this slanderous liar. Sum ner, “in the main line of hi* argument,” which ar gument was mi attempt to pravo that Southern slaveholders wore inhuman, immoral, barbarous, dishonest and diailonorable. Let it bo remembered, that Edward Everett vo ted for a resolution declaring tho right of Con gress to abolish slavery and the slave trade in the District of Columbia. Lot it bo rcm cm herd, that Edward Everett vo ted for a resolution declaring that Congress ought to take measures to effect the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia. Let it bo remembered, that Edward Everett voted fora resolution declaring that the rights of humanity, I ho claims of just lee, and (lie common good alike demanded the suppression by Congress ofthc slave trade carried ou in and through the District of Columbia. Lot it lm remembered, that Edward Everett voted for a resolution declaring that Congress bus, by tho Constitution, the power to abolish slavery in tho territories of tho United States. Let it bo remembered, that Edward Everott voted for a resolution declaring that no new State shall hereafter be admitted into tho Union whoso Constitution or form of Government shall permit the’existence of domostic slavery therein. Let it bo remembered, that Edward Everett voted fur a resolution declaring that Cuiigr*- • b.i■; by the, Constitution, power to abolish the trutlic of slaves between the Bin tea of tho Union, mid that the exercise of this power is demanded by the principles of humanity and justice. Let it be remembered, that Edward Everett hie; been addressed by citizens of Alabama, in the hope that he would repudiate this record, and ho ha* notonly failed, but. refused to do it. Let it bo remembered, that John Bell, of Term os ee, a native of a slave State, hut all his life a friend and ally to the North, has boon selected as a lit and proper candidate to run on a ticket with I'M ward Everett, whose record is fairly slated in the foregoing paragraphs. With all these facts staring them in the face, can BoiitJiern men vote fur Bell and Everett'.’ ,Sncanliuh News, Signs or the Times lii Heorgla A fiieud writing to the Augusta Dispatch from .Marietta -one of the must, intelligent and thor ou di Democratic touuuunities iu tho State, pays. “Wo are all right for Breckinridge and Luno don't know a Douglas man m Cobb county.” tbu Marietta Advocate confirms this luscr Lion, and has boon informed by a prominent citi • i ii of Milton county that tharo i. not to be found in that county one Douglas man.

Gknti.kitk*: I sincerely wish it war, in my power to respond at once to your kind and flat tering request, to nddrt** my fellow-citizens of Columbus and vicinity. It would afford me no ordinary plcatmro to meet thorn at this time. I regard tho present contest as one rising far above the ordinary party strug gle)’, through which wo have heretofore passed, it involve* tho future destiny of tbo South. It is a question of right, justice and equality on the one hand, amt wrong ami degradation on the other. It is the triumph of constitutional prin ciples, in tho election of Breekinridgo and Luno, or tho declaration of war upon tho constitution und the rights. of tho .South, hy tho election of Lincoln und Hamlin. Thi* is tho Issue that has to be met, and our people should look tho danger full In tho face, and govern their actions accord ingly. The part which tho inppurtcr* of Doug las and Johflson at tho South take in tho contest, is only important in view of tho strength it give* tho Black Republican* of tho North, by weaken ing tho only party and tho only candidates who can, by any possibility, defeat this treasonable, abolition organization. Hu rely tho recent course of Mr. Douglas, and tho present position of his friends at tho North, present m- claim LG-muth cm gratitude or Southern confidence that should induce, ou their part, a support of his claims to tho Presidency at such a sacrifice of their right* und interests. His withdrawal from tho contest would nt-unco ensure thosuccos* of Breekinridgo and tho triumph of constitutional principles, whilst his coutiuuanco iu the field giv v aid and encouragement to tho enemies of democracy and tho enemies of the South. Under thc*o oircum stanee*—apart from tbu manifold objection* to the political doctriuoa which Mr. Douglas and hi;> faction sock to force upon us —it seems clear be yond dispute or question, Unit there should be a united and earnest effort on tho part of the South in support, of tho only candidate* who are outiilod to her cnufhionco, and at tho sarno tiiuo have tho slightest prospect of election. To urge and press upon my fellow-citizens, of Georgia, these considerations —in favor of tho election of Breekinridgo and Lane.

Dicar Sir : Your letter of the 20th June, ad dressed to Mr. Everett, lnid been agreeably to tho understanding in which he received tho nomina tion, placed iu my bands to bo answered. No copy has been received of t he resolutions to which you refer as having been laid down a.s a platform by the Convention of tho Union party which met ut Selma ou the 28th Juno. Tho National Union Convention at Baltimore unanimously adopted, amidst much enthusiasm and applause, the following resolutions, under the title of “The Platform:” “Whereas, experience has demonstrated tiiat platforms adopted by the partisan convention* of tliucouutry have hud the ‘.-fe ‘-t to mislead and deceive tho people, andmt tlrtsamd time to widen the political divisions of tho country, by tLe cre ation and eueouragoment of geographical and sootionul parties; thoruiore, “Resolved, That it is the part of both patriot ism and duly to recognize no political principle* other than “The Constitution of tho Country, “The Union of tho .States, aud too “Enforcements of tho Laws.” The wisdom of tho National Union Conven tion in adopting thi* resolution is confirmed by what has sine# happened in tho Democratic par ty, which, alter holding lour conventionsana un dergoing two secessions, ha* gone to piece* iu the vain attempt to construct a platform. We do not suppose that the National Luion Convention intended to interfere with the din-ra tion of tho local Convention* of the State* in adopting platforms within their own limits. But. a* the National Union nominations were inode at Baltimore, aud have been accepted under the above cited preamble and resolution, the candi date# are precluded from eftdisrajug uny otbtn platform, however rospcelubio tho smmxi from which it emauutes.
