The Crawford Dinner-
According to previous arrangements, the 1
Dinner to the lion. CJoo. W. Crawford, late
Secretary ol War, came off yesterday at the
City Hall Park. There were between four i
and five hundred persons present, which was
a small number considering the invitation was
widely extended—come one, come all—come I
with or without money, and partake. At a- j
bout two o’clock t!ic tables were filled with ;
subscribers and invited guests, and in about
fifteen minutes after, all appeared to be satis
fied with what they had parlaken of, and made 1
their way to the stand erected for the speak- •
ing. We were sorry to see so few of the fair
Bex present, after the pressing invitation ex
tended to them.
Soon after the dinner was over, the lion.
Mr. Crawford was introduced to the crowd by
Andrew J. Miller, ILq. He arose, and after !
returning his thanks to tho.se present for the i
kind welcome they had given him, he broach- ;
ed the exciting topics of the day. At the
opening we thought w r e were about listening
to a Southern speech from a Southern man.— j
He pourtrayed, in a masterly manner, the
rights ol the South in the maintenance of her
peculiar institutions, which all present seemed
to led were just, and should be maintained at
every hazzard. He then complimented the
Citizens of Augusta on the improvements ma
king iu manufactures, See. —told a Tit le anec
dote about the feelings that used to exist some
twenty yeaas ago, between up town and down
to wn, in regard to the main road leading to the
cii . via Harrisburg,— how they had been re
moved by the cutting of another, more direct ;
and how our great Georgia Rail Hoad had
put a quietus to both by absorption. He then
branched off on notional politics. We have
not room nor inclination to follow him through
his various windings; sometimes upholdin ;
t o South in her rights, and at another the
General Government; but must content our
se!t with the conclusions he arrived at,
which were that lie was in favor of all the re- !
' cent measures passed by Congress, and that so :
f«r ns regards Californ a, the people of the
South, and of this country hud no right to ! '
complain —that if any party was aggrieved, it j (
was the people of California—that they were
forced, in so.; preservation,to form a State Con- j
stitutan, —that trey were with out l nos, ra- j
pid’y filling up with a population speaking
eve: >• language, &c. We thought at the time >
of ti : Don. Alexander H. Stephens, and his '
drxicai am, and wondered what had become
of them.
Jin’ the strangest position taken by Mr.
Crawford w that the people of any territory
had the 1 igl-.t to form a State government,
and if they offered a Republican Constitu
tion, the Congress of the United States had
nothing to do but admit them, and ask no
qu stions. This was about the amount of j
Ids argument.
We have always had a high regard for Mr.
Crawford and his talents, hut must say his ;
effort on this occa&on disappointed our ex
pu nations— it was one of the weakest we have
ever seen him make.

dots given will he promptly and faithfully :
executed. VVe have been too much in the habit
of sendin: North for such articles as arc man
ufactured by Mr. Anderson, and we think the
time has come when we should look neater i
home. The South does not want protection— !
all she needs is encouragement.

Mu. Editor —ls such sentiments as have '■
lately appeared in the Columbus Times and
Macon Tribune, are to be regarded as the
sentiments of the Southern Rights party
in Georgia—l mean such articles as “the
Georgia Convention —Secession the Rem
bdv”—Then may the South exclaim, “Save
me from my friends” Such sentiments are
not, and in all probability never will be, ap
proved of by the people of this state. For one,
1 repudiate them —and I have been an early i
and devoted friend to the Nashville Conven- j
tion—the line of 36 deg. 30 m n. to the Pa- I
eiiic—and iu favor of just such action as your j
fifth conclusion in your paper of the 17th
points’ out as the Nashville line has been dis
regarded.
“Fifth. That the true policy for the South
ern States is for them so to direct their en
ergies, their resources, and pursuits, us to
make themselves wholly independent of the

as to effect this great object.”
I will not rally under the banner of Dis
union or Secession—and as this position has
been so often assumed and so recklessly pub
lished, I am determined to support
no man for the Convention who ; s in favor of
secesion from the Union, and opposed to Lav
in.; the action of the Convention to the final

From Cuba-
Reimrtf.d Treaty hbtwken Spain and Eng
land — Execution of a Cuban ‘Patriot.’ —The
New York Sun has a letter from Havana,
dated Ist of September, which states that the
Diario de la Marina had announced that a j
treaty of alliance had formally been entered j
into between Spain and England, by which i
in,. utu,< s-.,.,.i iim-kiuc ib sum-ain a pan-. |
against all attempts to revolution, by the peo
ple of Cuba, or other parts of the Spanish do
main. Another object of this treaty was to
prevent the landing of any more Lopez expe
ditions. The correspondent of the New York
Sun says:
The Diario states that in conformity to the
above named treaty, the English frigate “In- j
defVigabla” was recently despatched to cruise j
around Cuba, and keep watch of vessels ap- |
preaching that coast. The Indefatigable, on .
her passage, touched at Jamaica, to leave or- I
dels for the Admiral of the station, couched j
in the most stringent terms, towards the treat- |
merit of any vessels suspected of designs against
Cuba. The frigate was fifteen days, accor
ding to the Diario, in reaching Havana from
Jamaica, in consequence of the immense num
ber of vessels which if fell in with, every one
of which was boarded and examined, to make
1 sure that there were no arms, powder or men
on board, bound to Cuba.—Owing to the im
j mense commerce of the U. States, in those
! parts, the majority of all the vessels iallen in
| with were Am rican. But. all were examined,
not even excepting the regular American
; steam packets from Chngres. In every in
i stance, says the Diario, when a vessel was
' thus examine.l, the Indefatigable exhibited at
lur lore, the Spanish Hag. thus recogniz : ng the
right of Spain to search uli vessels approach-
I ing the Cuban coast, and signifying the hearty
! co operation of England to sustain Spain’s in
! tereat. It is not generally believed here that
i any such ti e ity as the Diario speaks of has
■ been executed; nor have we heard that any
American vessels have been searched as al
leged.
Two of the three remaining Contoy pris-
I oners have been condemned, the other set free.
; The two condemned, one of whom is Captain
! Benson, was sentenced to eight years hard la
i bor oti the roads, to mix with the Spanish
j criminals.
The recent execution by the Garote, at Carde-
I nas, of Don Bernandino Hernandez, has
i created much talk. Hernandez was a planter,
i residing near Cardenas, and the crime tor
which he was executed was for the hospitable
: manner in which he received and treated some
! of the Lopez party at the time of their eap
; ture at Cardenas. —The Diario hopes that this
just iesson will serve as a warning to other
deluded traitors. Hernandez was a gentle
man of great influence and wealth.
The Robber Detected.— A negro boy by
j the name of Frederick, about 10 years of age,
broke,into the establishment of Mr. Ribero
on Thursday night last, and remained until
nearly daylight, abstracting some seven or
eight dollars in change. He was seen en
! flavoring to make his way out, and by the
aid of a boy belonging to Mr. J. M. Turner,
was secured. He implicated three otheis, but
on examination it was found to be incorrect.
The fellow is an adroit villain; he acknowiedg
i ed to the Marshal, having broken into the
I stmes of Messrs. Daily, Ponce. Pool, Ryersqn,
and Michael Pendergast. At the same time

j in which he escaped the observation of the

Oi the crops, we regret to say that our in
telligence is not so encouraging, The Corn
crop will be very light, even on the warrior
bottoms, which have always been oqr chief

necessary article. Cotton, is generally, bad

’ Southern Rights Meeting at Amcricus.S
At a meeting of several hundred persons
in Americas, on the 7th inst., for the con
sideration and discussion of those questions,
involving the rights of the South in the Ter
ritory recently acquired from Mexico, Mr.
Newnan Mcßain, whig, and Mr. George
Dykes,democrat, were called on to preside,
and Dr. J. G. McCrary, whig, and William
B. Guerry,democrat, to act bs Secretaries.
After a few energetic and pertinent remarks
by Mr. Mcßain, explanatory ot the object of
the meeting, A. A. Robinson, Esq., offered
the following preamble and resolutions, and
occupied the floor about fifty minutes in ur
ging the propriety of their adoption.
The great interests involved in the political
questions which now engross the public mind
renders it proper that the people, in their pri
mary meetings, should express tneir convic
tions as to the right involved, and as to the
duty of the public servants, who have been
selected to guard those rights, therefore —
Resolved, That we approve most heartily,
! the resolutions of the Southern meeting of
l the members of Congress, held recently at
Washington city.
Resolved, That in our opinion, Congress
! are under constitutional obligation to remove
every legal impediment that may arrise from
1 Mexican laws, which serve in the least to
embarrass the emigration of Southern men,
with all their property recoguised by the con
stitution,into the newly acquired territories.
Resolved, That such legislation by Congress
would in no way infringe upon that policy of
nonintervention, which requires that Con
gress shall not legislate either to establish or
prohibit slavery.
Resolved, That should Congress fail of her
duty .entirely to abrogate such Mexican laws,
as are directly against that species of property
which the constitution provides as the means
of acquiring, by prohibiting for twenty years,
any Congressional legislation of it from
abioad, then as a peace measure, we are wil
ling to accept a secure and unembarrassed en
joyment of our property in that small portion
of the newly acquired territory, oouth of the
Missouri Compromise line.
Resolved, That should all free access *o any
part of the territories, with our peculiar prop
erty be denied us, and thus all justice denied
us, by a Congrees acting under a constitution,
the,.very first sentence of which declares one
of the first purposes of its adoption to be “to
establish justice,” then the remedy for the
reclers ofeur wrongs, and for staying in fu
ture,the aggresv ions cf our Northern brethren,
we leave to be tl:vised by the convention,
| which it will be tftg duty of the Governor of
| our State, under such exigencies to call, —and
j wc pledge our support to any measure of re
! dress, which will so unite our brethren of the
I South, as to render it practicable.
An animated discussion the n ensued be
i tween E. R Brown and Wm. H. Crawford,
I E«qrs. on the one side,and Vlaj. John Howard,
j of Columbus, and Jno. A. Tucker, of Lump-
I kin, on the othtr, each speaker consuming an
j hour and a half.
The former two, declined to argue the re
solutions proposed, insisting a more pertinent
question to be, whether we should dissolve
the Union on the admission oi California.
The latter two maintained the propriety of the
resolutions and also that if no other measure
of redret-s would secure a portion of the ter
ritory equivalent to that South of 36, 30. then
a dissolution of the Union would be necessary,
in order to prevent further and worse ag
gressions.
After the discussion the vote was taken on
l the resolutions, and was almost unanimous
I in their support —only three or four persons
1 voting in the negative.
The opposera of the resolutions excuse the
j leanness ot their vote on the ground (as they
suy,)thai theyhad no right to vote,because the
meeting was not called by them. But some
of their ablest tacticians admit that they made
efforts to get us many as possible to vote
against the resolutions.

. Baker County-
At u meeting held at Newton on the 10th
inst.., over which A. B. Lawson and J. F.
Spicer presided, the following among other re
solutions were adopted :
Resolved, f’hat we deprecate a disun ion ol
these United States, r.nd shall deeply regret
that Congress, by any unjust and iniquitous
legislation, should drive the South, or any
poition of the States, to any stringent mea
sure, and in view of this feeling on our part,
we earnestly desire, that the Convention when
called, shall devise some measure, meeting the
action of C ingress, by the adoption of virtual
non-intercouse with the North, or some other
peaceable and Constitutional measure, that
wiil induce the Northern people to cease their
unnatural warfare on us one! our instituiio.is
—to do us that justice an.l afford us taut pro
tection to our proper!', in the territories and
; elsewhere which wo and it are entitled to
j under the Constitution, and articles of our
i -hl-f*—- -i%!- • - - - ’V
of c disunion, which should bs resorted to
only after all other plans for an adjustment
of our rights have failed.
Resolved, That we do not make this recom
mendation to trammel or restrict the action
of the Couveiitiin; for we hope that they, in
their deliberations, may take the widest and
most comprehensive view of the questions
j that convene them, nor do we so to create dis
j affection, but to heal the dissensions among
! ourselves, and enable the whole Southern
| people to come together on one common plat
! form, which is so essentially necessary to the
j success of any pioposed pianos resistance to
federal usurpations of Southern Rights, and
we do so further, with a sincere and honest
de-ire to save the Union if vie can.
Resolved, That in case our suggestion is not
made the policy of the Convention, and they
should adopt some other, in their judgment
better—whatever plan that may be, we pledge
ourselves toils suppirt, when ratified by the
I I
! people.
11-.so’.ved, That should the Governor call a
Convention of the people of Georgia, by au- \
j thoritv of the act of the last .legislature, it
will bo the duty of the Convention to submit j ,
fairly to the people for their ratification, any '
measure of redress that may be adopted by |
the Convention, and that no measure o redress j 3
adopted by the Convention snail be of any I
force, unless ralilied by a major.ty of the i topic 1
of Georgia, fairly expressed.
The Crops
(From the Louisiana Floridian, 7th inst )
Cotton. —In our last number we spoke of
the Cotton crop being less than an average.
From reliable information, we can saicly say
it will not be more than one-half. This will (
be owing to the ravages of the boll-worm, j •
which has made its appearance on almost
every plantation in the parish.
{From the Feliciana Whig, ith inst.') ,
The picking season has fairly commenced,
and thus far, in this parish, the yield has been !
! fair. The indications of the last few days 1
I are, however, of quite an unfavorable charac
ter. The boll-worm has made its appearance
in every quarter, and their ravages are re- .
presented as highly detrimental to the crop.
Add to this a very indifferent stand, unsea
sonable weather, causing extensive shedding
of young bolls, blooms, and forms, and we are
inclined to listen to the predictions of many |
of our most experienced planters, who assert, 1
with confidence, that our crop will fall much |
short of a fair average, although it will, per
haps, be a better one than that of last year.—
i As far as we ce,n learn, the cane crop is very •'
j promising. In the eastern portion of the
| parish, where many planters are engaged in s
S raising their seed cane, the prospect is repre- f
I sented as extremely flattering.
{From the Pointe Coupee Echo, 7th.)
Wc tiave just been told by a gentleman, ‘
| who has lately had an opportunity of seeing i
I nearly all parts of our Parish which had been ’
| submerged' during the late high water, that .
. i the cotton planted since the overflow presents
i the most promising appearance ; and that if
■ ! the irost be late, that more than a fair crop
will be made. The coin planted under the ;
I same unfavorable circumstances will also yield i
i 1 well.

REMARKS.—We publish this morning, the Annual |
Statement of the Cotton Crop, taken f om tiie New j
York Shipping List, which is generally considered the !
standard. It will be seen that the Crop of the present
year, (in a condensed form,) as compared with last
stands thus:
1850. 1849.
New-Orleans 781,880 1,093,797
Alabama 350,952 518,700
F.orida 181,344 200,186 j
Texas 31,263 38,827
Georgia 343,635 .391,372
South-Carolina 384,265 458,117 '
North-Carolina 11,801 10,041
Virginia 17,550
Total Crop of the U. States 2,000,700 2,728,590
Showing a decrease in the Receipts this year, when
I Compared with last, of six hundred and thirty one .
thousand eight hundred and ninety-one bales.
Tlic Shipments of Colton to Foreign ports show a total
decrease of 037,089 bales, viz.: to Great Britain, 437,130
to France, 28,632; to North of Europe, 93,302, and to
other Foreign Ports, of 34,025 bales.
As regards Consumption, we think the amount put
down for States South of Virginia, is inaccurate. Geor
gia is put clown at 30 Mills, with 51,150 spindles, and
consuming 27,000 bales Cotton. For the past two years,
we have endeavored to ascertain the amount of Cotton
consumed by Factories in this stale, but have bean un
| able to do so to our satisfaction, but fiom the informa
i tion received, we feel satisfied that the above estimate
is under tile mark. There is, however, a pleasing fea
ture in the consumption of the raw material in the
South, and that is, it is gradually and permanently in
creasing. Scarcely a vessel leaves Charleston o. Savan
nah for a Northern port, which has not onboard, as a
portion of her outgo, ihe product of Southern Mann
factories, in the shape of Yarns or coarse Cotton Goods.
A merchant from the South cannot visit any of the
Northern markets, not excepting Boston, but lie will
find Southern homespuns exposed for sale , ami we
have heard of several who have purchased Augusta
manufactured Goods in New-York, and paid as much
for the article there as they would have been charged in
Augusta for the same. There may be policy in this
transaction, but we think patriotism, if not the diller
ence in freight between New-York and Augusta, should
induce them to purchase nearer home.
As regards the Growing Crop it is too early to speak
of its extent with certainty—but from tile advices tv inch
have,and are dil v reaching us from allquarlera,ono thing
’ is certain, unless we are favored with an extraordinary
late (all, the crop this yeai cannot exceed that of last
although more land has been planted. Even -hould
this calculation prove erroneous, and tho crop reach
2,500,000 Ua os, prices will necessarily rule high, for
with the light slocks on hand in this country, the
diminished receipts in the different ports in Europe, ar,d
Itho gradual but steady incr.ase in the home and foreign
consumption, there must be a good demand for the manu
factured article ; and so long ns manufacturers van re-

| Let those who are engaged in this business look at tacts
i The shipments to Knrope show a falling off of 037,
: 630 bales, while the consumption io that portion of the t
j world and in this is ou the increase. America is the
only portion of the Globe that will produce the artic e ;
! with orofit. Our crop this year shows a decrease ol
! 631,890 bales from last year’s. With regard to the pros |
1 pect for the coming year we would state, a though we
I have planted more land, so unpropilious has been the
season.that the most sangit lie do not look tor much if any
1 increase.) Taking all these views into consideration,
i with the steady increase in consumption, we think no ■
J other conclusion can he arrived at, than that prices
’ | mutt rule high.
I COTTON. —Notwithstanding the unfavorable ad- ,
' vices ti in Lurope received this week by steamers Asia
i and Canada, we have a steady and improving market to
I notice, und tiie quotations given below tire, we he ietc
I the highest prices paid for Cotton in this market since 1
i |3;i9. '('lie sales of the week reach about 2000 hales, ;
, | and would have been larger were it not for tile fact that j
I factors are offering their stocks sparingly, even at pre-
I sent high rates The receipts of new Cotton up to the
i present time are light, compared with former years, and 1
the most of .that coining to hand is going into store. The ;
j advices per Canada, which came to hand on Monday
i j evening, though showing a further dec ine es Jd in the
! Liverpool market, had no effect on ours, which closed
I last evening firm at the following quotations :

steady increase in this branch jof trade. Our market is .
now well supplied with goods suitable to the country
tr 'do, and as an evidence of the business done, we would
mention that one house in this city, within the las
week, has sold S3OOO worth of goods. Some of these
goods were sold to Merchants who had visited New
York and returned through Charleston.

which it is recommended. For ten ye..rs, it has
proved mere as a remedy for Cough-, j
Golds, Influenza, Brooch tis, Asthma and Con
! sumption, in its incipient stages, than any other
j medicine.
Variouaconjectures and surmises have arisen
respecting its composition ; some physicians have
supposed it to contain iodine, other ignorant pre
tenders say it must contain mercury, and some
such substance they attribute it 3 singular efficacy.
As such opinions are altogether erroneous, au.d
calculated io prejudice many perstns again.t it,

That it contains nothing of this kind, or anything
the least injurious; on the contrary, it is com
posed ol the most simple substances, the princi
pal of which are the extracts of Tar and Wild j
Cherry bark, ami the whole secret of its ellicacy j
consists in the mode by which they arc prepared. ;

In our last Annual Statement, the cstmmle of Cotton
•ken for Consumption for the year ending >ept. !,
849, in the States South and West of Viigmia, was
probably over-estimated—the following for the past
year is elieved to be very nearly correct. The num
ber of Mills has increased since that time, and is still
increasing, but the quantity consumed, as far as we can
I earn, is, owing to high prices, &c., less than llie year
previous, 'the following estimate is from a judicious
and careful observer at the South, of the quantity so
consumed, and not included in the Receipts. Tlius,

To which’should be added the Slocks in the interior
Town**, the quantity burnt in tiie interior, and that lost
on its way to Market; these, added to the Crop as given
aWoVt, received at the Shipping Ports, will sluv.v very
nearly the amount raised in the United States the past
season say, in round numbers, 2,212,000 bales.
The quantity of new Cotton received at the Shipping
Ports up t«> the Ist inst. amounted to about 255 bales,
against about 575 bales last year.
The Shipments given in this Statement from Texas,
are those by Sea only; a considerable portion of the
Crop of that State finds its way to market via Red Uiv
er, and is included in the Receipts at New Orleans.
