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. Ticdcg'ar Iron Works- We would call attention to an advertise- j men', of the Tredegar Iron Works, at Rich mond, Virginia, to he found in this day’s pa- 1 per. i’iie references given are gentlemen of high character, and we have no doubt all or- j 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.

[communicated.] 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 non-slaveholding State.-’, and that our State Legislatures should so shape their legislation 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 ratification of the people. An early 36 30 Man. 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 giving and interesting account of the manner j in which he escaped the observation of the . guards and the ingenuity with which he es- I fected his burglarious exploits.

There were present at I the tea table, 7 children, t children-in-law, 30 grand-children, 10 grand-children-in-law, and 11 great grand-children —in all, So. The New Haven Journal says: i But this is by no means the whole family. 1 !

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. WM. B. GUERRY, JAMES G. McURARY, Secretaries. . 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.

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- W —i^—■—mb—— (From the N.

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, we pxco.qfi our no.-van 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. ; SETH VV, FCVv LE, Druggist, No. 138 Wash- | ington street, Boston, Mass is the sole proprietor of the original receipt for the raanu'acture ol the centime medicine, and supplies both at wholesale ai.d retail, and ol whom agencies can lie obtained Price—One dollar a bottle, six bottles for five dollars.
