Prospects of the Cotton Crop.
The past two weeks of dry and cool weather has
materially changed the prospects of the cotton
crop, and the hopes of the planters. The Hue ap
pearance of the weed on the twenty-fifth of August,
excited the confident expectation with many per
sons, that the crop would be a large one, even
though the spring had been very cold, aud the
crop stunted. The bad stands had been lost sight
of, in the exuberant growth of the plant, but now
planters from different sections inform us that al
though the cotton weed is abundant, the blooms
and forms, and even the leaves of the plant, are
shedding oft' so rapidly, that there is but little hope
of making anything like au average cron. In some
sections, the worms are doing great damage, and
every day the complaint from the farmers seems
to increase.
.We dislike to chronicle reports of this character,
f rom the generally prevailing opinion that there
are always an abundant supply of short crops
croakers about September and October, of each re
turning year. If we are deceived iu relation to
the statement we make about the cotton crop, theu
there are hundreds of closely observing, expe
rienced, and intelligent planters, who labor under
a delusion as to their crop prospeets.
New Cotton in Florida.
The Tallahassee Sentinel, of Bth inst., says that
Mr. Robert Raises, of Thomas county, Gs., sent
three bales of new cotton to Tallahassee, Fla., on
the 6th inst.; the quality middling fair, and snld
at 15 cents per pound.
The first bale of new cotton, says the Wakulla
Times, of the 2d inst., was brought to Newport, on
Tuesdav, Ist inst., by John S. Mooring, Esq., and
bought by Messrs. McNavght & Ormond at 15 cts.
Last year the first bale was received on the 12th of
Aug., from the plantation of Mr. O. C. Arnett, of
Lowndes county, and was bought by Mr. John
Denham, at 10 cents per lb. Up to 01st August,
last year, ls 4 bales had been received at Newport
and St. Marks.
Cool. Weather.
The Columbia <S. C.) Carolinuui of 10th inst.,
says : YVe had, scarcely ten days of hot weather
this summer—latterly, the season has been de
lightfully cool, though not so cool as some of our
friends are enjoying in Cashier Valley, North Car
olina. The following is the register for a week :

In Ireland they are having a sensation over a
young and extraordinary female preacher. She is
drawing crowds of all sects to listen to her elo
quence. Her hair, eyebrows and eyelashes are
almost white, her face pale, and she is only twenty
two vears of age. She has many invitations to ,
preach from all parts of the country, and even .
Scotland. She accepts no earthly fee or reward, |
aud mts she is prompted to speak in obedience to i
answer to her prayer a twelve-month since.
A Correction.
We have bad occasion, several times of late, to
use the following paragraph, from an article which
appeared in the Chronicle <t Sentinel, of the 26th
of February, 1856:
“ YY e will not, however, forego the opportunity
to say we are opposed to the whole scheme of sending
emigrants to Kansas , to agitate the slavery ques
tion. B e have never entertained the idea that Kan
sas would become a slave State, and we do not think
any well-informed man in the Union entertains any
such opinion. He care nothing about preserving
tie equilibrium between the free and slave States,
because we know that it is impossible, from the
very character of the Territory belonging to the
United States.”
This morceau, from the editorial columns of the
Chronicle ts- Sentinel, was republished in the col
umns of this paper, more than a year ago, in the
same shape in which it appears above. The Chron
icle db Sentinel then, permitted it to be published
without remark, but in its issue of the 9th inst.,
refering to our recent republication of it, complains
that n|is a misrepresentation of its position, that one
entire sentence and a part *>f another, are omitted
from this paragraph, which are necessary for a
proper understanding of its meaning, and gives
the whole article from which it was taken. Desir
ing to deal fairly with our contemporary, and to
show, ai the same time, that we have not misrepre
sented it, we subjoin this article, desiring our
readers, when they shall have read it, to compare
it with the extract from it which we have publish
ed, and to determine for themselves, if the*whole
article correctly represents the position of the
Chronicle & Sentinel, whether the extract misrepre
sents its position. If it wa3 necessary we might
easily show that the whole article is worse than
the extract from it which we have used, and that
the parts of it omitted by us and supplied by the
Chronicle tfc Sentinel, only make the objection
able portions which we did publish, still more ob
jectionable :
“ Kansas Emigrants.—YY'e received yesterday
the following note from the writer, which we pub
lish as requested. YVe will not, however, forego
the opportunity to say, we are opposed to the whole
scheme of sending |c migrants to Kansas, to agitate
the slavery question. 14V have never entertained
the idea that Kansas would become a slave State, and
we do not think that any well informed man in the
Union, entertains any such opinion. Our motto
is, to let the peop!e|of the territories, who are citi
zens of the United States, determine the question
for themselves, in the formation of their State Con
stitution, and we are iu favor of admitting them,
with or without slaver)-, as they may choose. We
rare nothing about preserving the equilibrium between
the free and slave States, because we know that is
impossible from the very character of the territory
belonging to the United States, and when tha't
alone is our hope of preserving the rights of the
South, the Constitution is not worth a copper.
Ttiis every intelligent man knows; and the whole
secret of the agitation at th e South, so far as the lead
ers are concerned, will be found to be a mere trick of
the corrupt political trickster s and demagogues, uho
seek their own aggrandizement at whatever sacrifice
of the public tranquility.

Mr. Editor :—Having received numerous appli
cations from Georgia to join ray company of Kan

the 9th inst.:
“John R. Hayes, Esq., formerly of Decatur'
county, has been elected Judge of the 9th Judicial
District of Texas.”
“ It is estimated that the branch of the South
western railroad, from Smithville to Cuthbert, will
cost $601,293 14. Distance thirty-five miles.”
Mr. Wm. M. Kennedy thinks that Bainbridge
should seek a connection with the South-western
railroad at Cuthbert. Length about fifty-five
miles.
The New Albany Tribune says: “On
Sunday morning last a couple of Frenchmen, from
Louisville, met about a mile and a half from Jef
fersonville, to seltle an affair of honor. The par
ties cast lots for the first fire, according to the
French mode. The party that won fired at his ad
versary and missed him. The other party stood
the tire without a change of muscle, and then in
stead of taking his chance, threw his pistol down
and said he did not want to kill his adversary.”
The Telegraph Auxiliary to the Mount Y'f.r
non Association ! —The Montgomery Advertiser, of
Sept. 9th, says : We mention the fact with plea
sure that when Colonel Yancey went to the tele
graph office in this city recently to dispatch infer- j
mation of the aggregate amount of collections in
Alabama for this movement, Mr. Kendall, the
General Superintendent of the line, refused any
pay, and forwarded the dispatch to Southern
Matron ” free of charge, as a tribute to the Asso
ciation. The usual charge, we may add, for a dis
patch of the length sent, is several dollars.
YY'e take the following items of news from
the Savannah News, of the 11th inst. :
“A man by the name of James H. Johnson was
arrested in this city yesterday by Constables
Blance and Richardson, on a charge of having
stolen two negroes, the property of Mr. Daniel
Jordan, of South Carolina. Johnson was commit
ted to jail by ’Squire Reedy, where he remains,
subject to the requisition of the Governor of South
Carolina.”
“A report that cases of yellow fever had oc
curred in Jacksonville, Florida, G. C. Gibbs, In
tendant of the city, publishes a certificate, signed
by all the practising physicians in the place, deny
ing that any cases of yellow fever have ever oc
curred in Jacksonville.”
“ YY'e regret to have to record the death of Mr.
Henry Harper, one of our oldest and most respect
ed merchants, who died in this city on YY’ednes
day night, iu the 62d year of his age. Mr. Harper
was, at the time of his death, the senior partner in
the house of Harper A Caughey, and has for many
years been extensively known by commercial men
throughout the State as a business man ami gen
tleman of high character.”
Ex-Gov. Vroom, late United States minister to
Berlin, arrived home in the Arago. Yieuxtemps, I
the violinist, was also a passenger.
A singular fatality seems to attend the Euro
pean steamship lines to Canada. A few weeks
ago the fine iron steamship Canada sunk in the
St. Lawrence, and now we have to chronicle the
total loss of the Clyde. The Clyde was an iron
screw vessel of fifteen hundred tons, built at
Greenock in 1854, and owned by the Clyde Steam
ship Company of Glasgow.
An affray took place in Mount YY’ashington, Bul
litt county, Kentucky, on the 4th inst., between
William Hall and Dr. Isaac Bridwell, citizens
of that place. An old feud had existed between
the parties for some time, and on the day named
it was brought to a close by a street fight, in which
Hall was killed by his antagonist. Bridwell shot
Hall twice, one ball wounding him in the arm, and
the other passing through his body. YY'hile in the
act of falling Hall discharged his pistol, and Brid
well was slightly wounded in one of his legs.
Hall died almost instantly. The survivor was
tried before a magistrate, and discharged on the
ground of the deed having been committed in self
defence.
The body of a man named Spradlin, a tobacco
j pedlar, was found in a hollow tree, near the Roan
oke Red Sulphur Springs, about twenty miles
from Fincastle, Y'irgiuia, on the 2d instant. Some
four weeks since, Spradlin, with three others,
! started to the woods, not far distant, to gamble.
He had about SBOO on his person, and until this
discovery of his body, neither of the party had
been heard of; his companions having, doubtless,
murdered him for his money.
Dr. A K. Marshall, late member of Congress
from the Ashland (Ky.) District, has commenced
the practice of his profession at Cincinnati, to
which place he has removed.
Ex-President Pierce. —The Springfield ( Mass.)
Argus says : “ Ex-President Pierce, since his re
tirement from the chief magistracy, has spent a
portion of his time in Concord, which has been his
residence for many years before his election to the
first office in the nation. The feeble state of Mrs.
Pierce's health has prevented the ex-President
from determining upon his residence, although he
has, we think, no idea of leaving his native State.
The people of Concord, where he is held in the
highest respect and esteem, invariably express the
hope that he will fix his permanent residence
among them. He is now staying temporarily in
Andover, where Mrs. Pierce has relatives. YY’e
regret to learn that her health, which for a long
time has been feeble, is not improved since they
left YY r ashington. We have never seen the ex-
President looking in better health than at the pre
sent time.”
Resolving Run Mad.— lt has become much too
common to adopt “preambles and resolutions” ou
occasions which do not require them. The thing
is indeed run into the ground. But the following
caps the climax of absurdity and verges on irrev
erence. A Sabbath school attached to a church ut
Syracuse, New York, recently made an excursion
to Little Sodas Bay. YY'hile enjoying the sail the
following preamble and resolutions were unani
mously adopted:
Whereas, Divine Providence, in his wisdom and
goad ness, having favored the Sabbath school of
the second Baptist church of Syracuse, and the
many citizens accompanying them, with a lovely
day on this excursion, rendering the occasion
agreeable and delightful to all, affording us the en
joyment of a healthy and refreshing ride over the
blue waters of Lake Ontario, with its varied and
charming scenery; and, whereas, we have been
vouchsafed a prosperous ride, free from accident
and danger, be it therefore
Resolved, That we humbly acknowledge our in
debtedness to the Almighty for the enjoyments re
ceived on this occasion; and that we commit our
selves to his care, returning to our respective
homes in the hope of receiving similar blessings of
llis Divine will.
Resolved, That we heartily return our thanks to
Stone’s Sax Horn Band.
On the return from Sodus Bay there was a hard
shower, which gave all hands a thorough soaking,
and many were wretchedly sea-sick ; but the reso
lutions were not revoked.
Iff" The Washington correspondent of the
Athens Banner, under date of the 4th inst., says:
“ Since writing the above, I have seen a state
ment in some of the Georgia Know Nothing pa
pers, to the effect that the Inaugural Address of
Gov. YY'alker had been submitted to the President,
aud a full Cabinet, and approved by them before
its delivery iu Kansas. There is not one word of
truth in this statement. I can assure you of the
fact that that Inaugural was neither seen nor ap
proved by the President or his Cabinet, before the
departure of Gov. Walker from the States. I have
heard more than one ot the Cabinet say that neith
er of them saw it until it made its appearance in
the territorial papers, or was copied into the pa
pers here. The system of falsehood and misrepre
sentation resorted to by the Know Nothing press
of your State, to secure lhe election of their candi
dates, is an outrage on truth aud justice, and one
that will, I cannot doubt, meet at the ballot box
with the united and severe condemnation of the
people. If the Ivuow Nothings were not obdurate
in their ignorance, and blinded by passion and
prejudice, they could not fail to see how suicidal
is this proceeding on their part, and how much
they serve to insure a more brilliant and over
whelming victory to the Democracy.”

Department of State, [
Washington, Sept. 8, 1857. i
As statements have recently been published in
the newspapers in regard to the alleged duel be
tween Professors Moore and Francis, in the Napo
region, Ecuador, resulting in the deatli of the hit
ter, it is believed that the friends of both gentle
men will be interested in the following different
version of that catastrophe, communicated at the
time of its occurrence, by the Ecuadorian Minister
for Foreign Affairs, to the Minister of the United
States in Quito, by whom it was transmitted to
/this department:
“ On the nineteenth of April, at seven o’clock in
the evening, Mr. Francis was seated at the door of
the house which he occupied, together with his
companion, Mr. Moore. The latter was in the dark
and within the house, preparing his gun for the
purpose of shooting a night-bird that had on mam
previous occasions perched on thereof of the build
ing, aud, as he was fixing on a cap, the hammer
fell, the gun went off, aud wounded the unfortu
nate Mr. Francis. This is theaccount given of the
occurrence in the declarations embodied in the
preliminary examination conducted bv the Gov
ernor in relation to the event. A copy of it is here
by transmitted, in order that the Minister may
have a full knowledge of the circumstances,
“From the representations of the Governor, the
wound received bv Mr. Francis is a serious one,
and likely to result in death. Extremely painful
would it prove to the government of Ecuador,
should this unfortunate occurrence be attended by
such a result, For the purpose, therefore, as much
as in its power lies, of warding off’such a consuni
mation, and of (bus paving a tribute to science,
and giving a proof of the estimation in which the
citizens of the great Republic are held.it has issued
orders to the Governor of the province of the East
to spare no expense or sacrifice in endeavoring to
save the precious life of the distinguished Ameri
can naturalist, as will lie seen, Mr. Minister, from
the copy which you will find enclosed by this de
j partmeut.”
The following extract from a despatch received
on the fourth instant, from the Minister of the
United States in Ecuador, and dated seventeenth
July, appears to preclude the idea that the death
of Mr. Francis w as the result of a duel:
“ I now learn, by letters from Messrs. Moore and
George Corbin Edwards, that, after suffering in
tensely for some two months, Dr. Francis died of
his wound on the fifteenth of June. Mr. Moore
pursued the object, of the exploration alone, and
has proceeded down the Maranon and Amazon
rirers.”
Later prom Yucatan. —By the brig Deseo, Capt.
Abra, arrived last evening, we have files of Cain
j peachy papers to the 25tli ult., three days later.
There had been no decided action between the two
contending parties of the State, who were as far
as ever, however, from an amicable arrangement.
As to the actual state of affairs, the Cumpechanos,
or ultra libera! party, had gained further advan
tages overthe Merida, or pseudo-Democratic party,
so-called, and everywhere they firmly maintained
their ground, resolved, says the E.-piritu Publico,
never to yield. On the other hand, according to
the same authority, the government de facto were
equally firm in their resolution to maintain their
authority at all hazards, and were preparing for a
decisive stroke. This, doubtless, refers to the ex
pedition of Gov. Barrera to Campeaehy, where it
is clear everything is prepared to give them a
warm reception. The liberals of the Island of
Carmen had also united with the revolutionists
and promised them efficient aid and support. The
next arrival, therefore, will doubtless bring us ex
citing news, if it does not bring us the final resit!;
; of the struggle.— X. O. Picayune, Sept. ti.

Augusta, Sept. 11, 1857. j
Mr. Editor: Lest your readers may suppose we
were instrumental in procuring the insertion, in
your paper of this morning, of the conspicuous
notice of our haring received and sold a few bales
of “new cotton,” we beg to say that we seek no
such notoriety, and the publication referred to was
unauthorized bv, and unknown to us, until we saw
this morning’s Constitutionalist. Respectfully,
Doughty, Beall A Co.
(COMMUNICATED.)
In the Constitutionalist, of the 18th ultimo, I see
a call from JohnC. Burch, James L. Clark, Amos
L. Vail, and others, asking myself, and all others
who are, or may become candidates in Elbert coun
ty, for either branch of the General Assembly,’ to
answer through the columns of the Constitutional
ist, the following question :
Are you in favor of, and will you, if elected, vote
for the re-election of the Hon. Robert Toombs, to
the Senate of the United States v
This seems to my mind to present two questions
—that what I am now in favor of, and what I would
do at a future period. I am now in favor of the
re-election of Hon. Robert Toombs.
The next question, as it presents itself to me, 1
answer, having, heretofore, as well as now, held
that constituents have, and ought to have, the right
to instruct those who represent them, if they deem
it bt or proper to do so; and those who represent
them should obey, however it might conflict with
their own judgment. Holding these views, if elect
ed, I would obey, if instructed, those who placed
me in that position'; or if not instructed, I should
vote as my own judgment might dictate to me at
that time. Experience having taught me, and re
cent developments show, that what might seem fit
and proper at the present, may at a future time
not be wise or expedient. All of which I submit
to those making the call, as well as to the rest of
the voters of Elbert county.
