Pleasaxt Hill, Dallas county,) August 14.1851., J <ientlemcn : The prospects for a large crop of cotton in this vicinity, are by no reason flatter ing. Since the month of May, the cotton plant has heen suffering for the want of seasonable reins—-the long continued drought has almost suspended tne growth of the plant, which is re markably small for ihe season of the year. The unprecedented heat of the weather and the ope ration of a scorching sun on a small sized plant, unprotected by the usual shade of green leaves have forced the bolls to open prematurely and at this time, fields of cotton can be seen around here, white with matured fruit, and but a meagre aay of young fruit to promise much more mg. after tue present flow has been gather ed. The extraordinary partiality of the rains since May, has caused more irregularity m the crops, than I have ever before known. Some planters have had good seasons and abundance of rain, while others in the same neighborhood j are almost burnt up. The crops of com and cot ton are good only where seasonable rains have prevailed. The high lands, and sandy soils, have ( practicularly suffered from the drought, while j the low lands, have not been altogether without rain, and generally promise a fair yield. In this section, you will find many |>oor crops and some Eood. Judge Hunter, who plants on Cedar Creek as a good crop, while Col. Sam. Hill in the same neighborhood,will not make over half crop. ; This kina of irregularity characterizes the whole } crop wherever I have travelled. To talk now of a large crop under present ajrpenranret would be the height of folly. Yours. &c. W.A. H. King's Landing, t August 22, 1851. | Since I wrote you last, this section of country lias been blessed with several good rains, but the cotton plant has been so Ion" exposed to the scorching sun, and the soil so hard and dry, that rains, have had an injurons effect, inducing 1 a rapid shedding of the blooms and squares. 1 see no prospect in this vicinity for a yield over ! last year. The drought has been so severe, j as to kill the sturdy oak of the forest, and other trees in spots throughout the woods. Is it rea sonable to expect t large crop of cotton, when the spontaneous growth of the forest sickens and dies for the. want of moisture and nourishment? —Very many of our planters will not make corn enough and most of the gardens are parched up. A spell of hot weather now, would destroy the prospects of even a moderate yield: a second growth would follow,which could not bloom and mature before frost. The prospect around here, with rare exceptions, promises only two thirds of last year. Cotton opens very fast, and pick ing has generally commenced. The 801 l worm has made its appearance about ‘’Boagchuta,* 5 but so far is not very destructive. Yours, &c. W. A. 11. AUGUSTA, GA. TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 2. For Governor. CHARLES J. MCDONALD.

Mc- Millan will address the people. Backing Out. Our readers will remember that, some two weeks since, we called their attention to a large meeting of the Constitutional Union party, held in Saudersville, on the Ist ultimo, at which meeting the following resolution was passed, and a committee was appointed to ask Mr. Cobb’s views upon it as well as other resolutions which they adopted: “ Resolved i therefore, That we deny to the General Government the right of making war upon, or by force preventing any State from withdrawing from the Union, who, by a consti tutional majority of her people, determines to do so. and if in the minds of any such right exists, i wisdom and policy alike demands its non-ex ! ercise.” Mr. Cobb replied to the committee, and refer ' red them to his letter to the Macon committee. I as contaiuing an exposition of his views upon | the questions about which they were solicitous. Mr. Cobb's letter has been spread in full be fore our readers. They have seen that, and now We submit to tljem the decision of the Washing ton county committee, as follows: To the Union Party of Washington Co. The undersigned were appointed by the Con vention of the party held on the Ist Tuesday of this month, a committee to transmit to the Hon. Howell Cobb, of Athens, certain resolutions passed by the convention'and ask his opinion upon the questions involved, aad to report to you. Your committee have preformed the duty as signed them, and by due course of mail received an answer from Mr. C., in which he refers us to his letter to the Macon committee, in which his views, at length, are given. Having carefully read the letter referred to, we cannot, upon the whole, but regard it, as an able and correct exposition of the vjews and sen timents of the Union party of Georgia, and we advise every man in Georgia togead it carefully. The doctrine of secession is one which may puzzle older heads and abler minds than ours. Though one thing seems perfectly clear to us: if a State has a sovereign right to secede from the Union at pleasure, the other sovereignties have a right to guard themselves from injury which may be caused by that secession, and . how this is to be done, they alone can determine. Hence, although secession may be peaceable, we believe that war is its legitimate consequence. Mr. Cobb informs hs that were a State to se cede and a requisition made upon him as the Gov ernor of Georgia for troops to coerce her, he should not hesitate to convene the Legislature of the State with a view of having a convention of the State, before whom he should lav the whole question and be governed by their decision. This is as we would have him do. Should the time ever come when this glorious confederacy is to lie dissolved, when madly bent on min the stars that make up this bright constellation shall rush wildly from their orbits, when that hour arrives, we want no Executive to say what Georgia shall do, and by inconsiderate, injudicious haste, endeavor to commit her to a course which she would not pursue. No, when that hour comes— and we pray God it may never—then will be the time, for deliberate State action. Let a con vention be assembled and let the voice of the people be there expressed, and what they de termine let the Governor execute. R.W. Flournoy, E. S. Langmade, J. R. Smith. G. E. Boatright, Silas Floyd, Committee. While the views of Mr. Cobb upon the right of secession,do not go as far as the undersigned,yet in view of the fact that he would submit the whole question to the people of Georgia for their I decision, lam satisfied, and shall support him , with a great deal of pleasure. R. W. Flournoy. We look upon this to be an important matter- There are thousands in the ranks of the Consti tutional Union party, who feel as do the majori ty of that party in Washington county. We believe the action of the meeting to which we have referred, was founded upon a just fear that Mr. Cobb's views were not orthodox upon the : subject of State rights and secession. They can not be satisfied with the decision of the commit tee. The individuals composing it may be satis- i fied. but that cannot control the judgments of the great majority of the party iu Washington county. Our object is to show, first, that the Constitu tional Union party of that county were discon teiUrd with the position occupied by Mr. Cobb. Secondly, that their views, as expressed in their resolutions, were in accordance with the true State Rights doctrines. Thirdly, that they will back out from and re pudiate them, if they adopt the doctrines of Mr. Cobb, as set forth in his letter to the Macon committee. There was, certainly, some reason for the lan guage of discontent manifested by the Sanders ville meeting. What did they say ? We quote j as follows: !; But we assert that no man can be a good | Union man who is not also a State Rights man. j We regret, therefore, to observe a disposition, on the i part of some Union men, to surrender those cardi- I not principles which we consider so necessary to | the preservation of the Union, by protecting the '• rights of the States. - ’ We recognize, to the fullest extent, the saver- ! eignty nf the States , and look upon that recogni tion as an established principle in the creed of OHr party, and as remaining no longer an open ques tion.’- “We cannot consent to take tlm back track ujtou the convictions of a life time; we cannot consent to sacrifice principles we believe essen tial to the preservation of the Union—principles without which, it never could have been formed, and without the preservation of which, it cannot continue.” “ We earnestly invoke that this poisonous chal ice be not forced to our lips ; wi: wii.i. not drink ITS WATERS OF UEATII ” “ Resolved, That as the political friends of the Hon. Howell Cobb, we are anxious to support him, and will sup|>ort him. and by all honorable means aid in his election, if ice can do so without saiwtioning principles which toe believe are alike de structive of the Union of the States anil the liberties of the people. ’ “ Resolved, That a committee of five i» ap pointed to address the Hon. Howell Cobb a letter, embracing the principles of the first resolution, requesting to know from him, Whether he agrees or dissents Irom the principles therein laid down. - ’ .. There is plainly the language of discontent. Now we assert, without the fear of contradic tion, that the Washington county meeting held: That the States are sovereign. That will be dis tinctly seen in the second of the foregoing ex tracts. That meeting held that a State has the right of peaceable secession from the Union. That is plainly shown in the first extract, found near the commencement of this article, and in the decla ration in the preamble, that “we never will agree that this Government has the right to deny to such State the liberty of doing so," that is. ol seceding. That meeting also held, that the right to secede is a peaceable right, and that the General Govern ment has no right to coerce her by force to remain in the Union. This is shown by- the first extract i contained in this article. Again it is most em phatically shown in the following, which we take from the preamble . “ But no government is republican, and no Stale can be republican, whose jteofle are forced to submit to a government against their choice. It would, therefore, be a palpable violation of the Constitution to attempt to subdue, by arms, the people of a sover eign Stale of this Union, thereby forcing such State to remain in the Union against the clearly ascertained will of a constitutional majority of her people.” “We most solemnly deolrfre that we see no cause why any State should withdraw from the Union, but that is a question alone for the jieople of each State to decide for themselves. But so far as the force of public opinion can reach, we would have it to discountenance any such move ment by the people of any State in the Union. Should any State, however, in the madness of the hour, by a constitutional ma jority of her people, withdraw from the Union, our doctrine is non intervention ; We never will agree that this gov ernment has the right to deny to such State the liberty of doing so. and of making war upon her to prevent it. It was not in that spirit this Union was formed, and it is not in that spirit it can be kept together, and we woidd have this dis tinctly understood as being the opinion of the Union party of this county. We earnestly invoke that this poisonous chalice be not forced to our lips; i iv will not drink its waters of death; we depre cate bciiig driven into a false position: we yield to none in our love for the Union; we yield to none in our devotion to the rights of the States: loathe the feelings of the people of South Caroli na. which we believe is hatred to the Union, but ice never will stand by and see that State or any other subdued by the Federal arms of this govern ment, and fofted to remain a jnrtton of this Union against the express wishes of her jteople. We wish in. Union that contains within its limits a con quered people, whose jmition would be similar to that of Poland to Russia It is, then, clearly established that The Wash ington county meeting held that the States are sovereign —that they have the right of peaceable secession —and that the General Government has no right of States ercion. That, we say, tens thk platform of the meet ing. Now we will show that the aforesaid com mittee have adopted a tafferent jdatform —one as wide from that of the meeting as the poles are asunder. The committee say that Mr. Cobb's Macon letter is “an able and correct exposition of the views and sentiments of the Union party." &e. The committee has evidently got into a quan dary. They say “the doctrine of secession is one which may puzzle older heads and abler m : nds than ours." How suddenly this doctrine of se cession became mystified in the minds of this committee! It was as clear as sunshine on the first of August. There was no doubt with them then! A State, then, had the perlect right peaceably to withdraw from the Union. Now they dodge behind “ older heads and abler minds "!! Whatever advantages this committee may claim, on account of their heads being young er and their minds weaker than some other peo ple’s, we doubt whether the people generally will be satisfied with so lame an excuse. Now for an exhibition of lofty tumbling. An “ abler head," that is, Mr. Cobb’s head, said that if a State withdrew, the other States had a right to decide upon the right of the State to do so, and force her back, into the Union. Strait way the committee say. 11 the other sovereign ties have a right to guard themselves from injury which may be caused by that secession, and how j this is to be done, they alone can determine. Hence j although secession may be peaceable, we believe j that war is its legitimate consequence.” This committee, with the rest of the meeting, declared, on the Ist of August, that it would be A PALPABLE VIOLATION OF THE CON : STITUTION for the Government to attempt to ; 1 subdue such State, and force her to remain in the j Union. They denied to the Government the right to make war upon a State to prevent seces sion. But we will presently see their inconsis- I tency in a stronger light. They express their gratification at Mr. Cobb s saying, that if he were Governor, and the Govern ment should call upon him for troops to put down a seefeding State, he would call the Legislature together, and advise the call of a convention, and would execute whatever their decision might be. This committee then add, that the Governor shoidd execute whatever the convention determin ed upon. Mr. Flournoy appends a separate statement, in which lie frankly admits that Mr. Cobb don t go far enough for him in favor of the right ot se cession, and specially fluids himself upon this ronvention scheme. Well, suppose the convention j should decide to send troops to put down South j Carolina, or any other State, these gentlemen j say. let the Governor EXECUTE IT. We would I say. let him resign his seat first. But that is not | what Mr. Cobb would do. He would send the I troops, with the instruments of death in their ! hands, to butcher a gallant people struggling against oppression. Now for the glaring inconsistency of the com mittee. They say, let the Governor execute the decision of the convention. On the first of Au gust, they said it would be a palpable violation of the Constitution to use force against the seceding State, and they even went so far as to say, while they “loathed the course of South Carolina, they would never statu! by atul see that State or any oth er subdued by the Federal arms of this Government , and forced to remain a portion of this Union, against the express wishes of her people. What a remarkable change in these gentlemen ! Since the appearance of Mr. Cobh's letter, they seem to have “ observed*, discerned, seen and spied out “ how, wherefore, and whether. 1 why, when, and \ypat, whatsoever, whereas and whereby ” all this State rights and secession business, instead oi being no longer often questions. are the most uncertain and open questions that now puzzle old heads or young heads, able minds or weak mituls!! While the committee seem disposed to begin to establish their principles, de nova, we ; trust that the people of Washington county will 1 have more regard for consistency, and prove truer friends to the sovereignty and rights of the States. Who can have confidence in men whose life time convictions and devotion to State rights, are so pliantly offered up at the shrine of party, and that, too, even to the extent of taking to their lips a poisonous chalice and drinking from it THF. WATERS OF DEATH! 1 Prospects of the Election—Our Correspondence. Our opponents beat us in bragging. As Dr. O. Toole Would say, its a fmrt of their system.— They do it to inspire the flagging confidence of their friends, and give energy to their canvassers in the field, who often get dispirited atul down in the mouth. We care uot to to How their example. A cause that is worth working for is in no need of such ' false stimulants. The friends of the Southern Rights cause,work in the noble and unselfish spirit of devotion to their principles expressed so forci bly by Col. David W. Lewis, before the Con vention which nominated him in opposition to Mr. A. H. Stephens. Whether in prospect of defeat or victory, their exertions wHt be the same. 1 is not for mortals to conimantl success, liut they’ll do more: they'll deserve it." We might however publish, columns weekly, of letters receive ! by us from all sections of the State, showing that our friends aie working both zealously and in good spirits. They are not dis heartened by the brags of the Consoli’dationists, nor are they gulled by them. The Southern Rights party know that the pretended calculations of the Federal press of ten and twelve, and even fifteen thousand majority for Cobb, if really made, are based on the votes last fall for the Convention, and therefore are absurd. That election is no criterion for the vote to be given next month. The election between Governor Towns and- Judge Hill in 1549 is much nearer a tfue test. In' most of the coun ties in the State in which Governor Towns got majorities, Gov. McDonald will do the saine.-*- Where he tails to do this, he will probably make up the loss by gaining in other counties in which Towns was beaten. There are few. if any Whig counties in fact, in which Cobh will ! wget a vote which will be comparatively as good I as that given to Judge Hill, and ip mauy ol'them McDonald will beat him. We have written the above introductory to extracts from two letters received last Sunday, and which we have concluded to publish. They are selected from very many of the same sort which we have on hand, and which our friends are welcome to see. We get them almost daily. The remarks of our Houston correspondent recalls to mind four lines illustrative offlie empty and nonsensical noise about disunion made by the Federal press In Georgia in connection with i Governor McDonald. “ Sound the hewgag, strike the topjon. Beat the fuzguzzy, wako the gonquong: Let the loud hozanna ring, Bum tarn fuzztegum dingo bim." This supplies alike the place of fact and ar gument. The opinions of Governor McDonald are on record in black and white. They are contained in letters and addresses put forth on : many recent occasions. But these the Federal press will not publish, because they would refute ! their clamorous denunciations. Houston County, Aug. 27th. Mr. Editor : — Mr. Johnson, the submission candidate for this District, addressed the people of this county on yesterday. He is a plain sen sible man, but not an orator, and cannot clear up and pile away the brush out of his way, with the dexterity of his friend Howell, and yet it appears that he struggles in the same path, and makes a very awkward imitation of him indeed. The courtesy was extended to us (vile disunion iste and disciples of Rhett as we are called.) of making a reply. We had our speaker (rather a masked battery to be sure) in waiting. And I can assure you our friend Howard, from Craw ford poured the grape into them pretty hotly and when they thought it over, there was “a lit, tie more of the grape, Capt. Bragg."- lam proud that we can sustain ourselves so fully in the ar gument. The main effort of the submissioniste, and it occupies their time is in apologising* for the North in itspillage of the South. Take away Rhett, South Carolina, and the cry of disunion from them, and all their thunder would be stolen. I am amused when they touch upon Rhett. "Then they show all their indig nant fire, stick up their feathers, and redden at their throats, and fly at him with the enraged animosity of an old Turkey cock at a red flannel pitticoat. Poor Rhett, I wonder if he sleeps any ? In conclusion, Mr. Editor, I am sanguine that our county will be straight on the day of the election. Jonesboro. August 29th, 1851. Messrs. Gardner and Smythe — Gentlemen :—I have but little confidence in communications of this kind, the writers so often exaggerate and dont give the true history of facts. but what I shall say is true, every word of it.— Hon. Howell Cobb's letter to the Macon Com mittee, dont take well in these diggings; his Constitutional Union friends ray it holds out two faces, (that is a great many of them) and they will uot have it—neither will they have him (Cobb,) and that they prefer old Charley, and intend to vote for him. Last week I took a two days tour through this county (Fayette.) and I could find men on all sides that were coming over to the side of equality, truth and justice. I was at one house where there were the old man and five sons, who told me out of their own mouths that they had just been converted and were heart, soul and body for old Charles J. I can hear it every day. I dont like that letter, it wont do—l wont have it, &c., ike. Hon. H. A. Harralson addressed a portion of the sovereigns of this county at Fayetteville last Tuesday, and considering the notice they had, there was a pretty respectble crowd; i without entering into a detail of his arguments, ! suffice it to say, that he showed himself a host to evil doers, and that the cry of Union. Union, was j all a humbug, and that it all was gotten up cock ed and primed in Washington city to be fired in ( the South from behind Bob Toombs's masked j battery. The Honorable gentleman's effort | was a noble one, and no mistake, and has ! done a great deal of good for the cause of Southern Rights and McDouald. I had almost forgot to say that some of the prominent speak ers of the self-styled Union party of this county have recently ccime over, and are going it for old Charley. [£7“We received no papers by last evening's mail from offices north of Charleston. ~ Discussion To-Day. Col. McMillan, the Southern Rights candidate [ for the eighth Congressional District, reached the city yesterday—other speakers from abroad are expected to be present at the Barbecue and Discussion to take place to-day, at the Lafayette Race Course. All are invited to attend to hear I the true doctrines upon the great questions of the day—doctrines which have been cherished, by the people of Georgia, as the foundation stones ' upon which are built our Republican lorms of Go i vernment, and the great structure of the rights and liberties of the people. Let all candidly hear and honestly decide. 1 We understand that Mr. Matthews will run two Omnibusses to the Course foi the accommo dation of those who wish to attend the Cue. Freedom to Cuba. We cordially invite attention to the following caH for a public meeting of tiiose friendly to the ! cause of Cuba. In the dark hour of the Ameri can struggle for liberty, our revolutionary fathers did not call for succor in vain. By the sacred memories of La Fayette, of Kosciusko, of Mont gomery, of DeKalb, of Pulaski, let not the cry of help for the cause of Cuban liberty pass un heeded. The blood of our inhumanly butchered countrymen appeals for vengeance. Brave spir its are among us ready to fly to the rescue of Cuba, and to the lamented dead. Let not the friends of liberty refuse a helping hand, or withhold their cheering presence from the meeting to-morrow evening. Let them assem ble to mingle their rejoicings over the late grat ifying intelligence announcing the continued success of the Patriot Army under Lopez. To the Citizens of Augusta. There are (tom 75 to 100 young men in Au gusta, ready to leave for Cuba. Those who in tend to aid them with funds or join the compa- I ny, or are willing to favor the cause of liberty in Cuba, are requested to meet, on Wednesday Evening, at the City Hall Park, at S o'clock. It will probably be the last meeting that can be called before the liberators leave. Many Citisens. I . j i) ; Health of Augusta.

Lopez s whole force, when he landed was four hundred, including officers. All American vessels are strictly searched, and all Americans closely watched. Five Spanish officers, besides Gen. Enna, were killed. The reports of the cruelties practised by the Spaniards, when Crittenden and the other Americans were shot, is fully confirmed. Crops. —The Sumter democrat of the 23d, says that the crop in that county ‘ ; are a subject of gloomy reflection." The cotton crop, it is feared, wijl be shortened at least a third. For adequate supplies of corn, it says the people will have to look to the west. The Demcrpolis Argus of the 19th says, that the prospect for a crop of cotton grows more gloomy every day. The late rains, i : stead of being beneficial, have produced the rust.—The crop of its region, it says, will not be so large as it was last year—which was a short crop. Scarce ly any corn will he made, in comparison with previous crops. The same paper says that water is so scarce in the county, that some planters, who live foui and eight miles from rivers are hauling it thence to their plantations. A large meeting was held at Carrollton on the ICth instant to provide com for the deficiency of that staple in Pickens county. It adopted reso lutions to the effect that the commissioners court of the county raise funds by pledging the faith of the county. This loan to he repaid by the sale of the corn purehused by those who are able to pay for it, and the balance to he raised by taxa tion. It was also resolved that the legislature he pe titioned to legalise the action of the commission ers; and that the vote of the people of the county be taken on the second Monday in September— polls to he opened at every precinct. We think that no one can doubt that the corn crop of Pickens has fallen short. —Mobile Tribune. 28th ult. Resolution relative to the election of the Judges of the Superior Courts.

The Storm.— On Saturday night last we were visited with quite a severe storm ot wind and rain, which did considerable damage to the crops, especially the new-ground com and the cotton, in this and the adjoining counties. No damage was done in this place, but the rain so washe the South-Western Railroad in several places, as to prevent the cars from reaching here lor two or three days.—We are gratified, however, to be able to state, that these breaches have been re paird and the road is in excellent running order again.— Oglethorpe Democrat , 30th till. Vessel Destroyed by Fike.— Under oni ship news head will be found an account of the rescue of the officers and crew- of the brig Mata moras. while on fire, by the scchooner Col. Sat terly, Capt. Booth, and the subsequent discovery of the brig by the steamer Chalreston, Capt. Relyea, who brought her to the city. A portion of her cargo, with her sails and rigging, were hastjly removed, and she was then towed to the flats opposite the city and scuttled, but she con tinued burning until she was consumed to the water's edge. The Matamoras was a fine vessel, about four teen months old. Her cargo, cansisting of 1500 barrels of Lime and 100,Q00 Laths, was consign ed to Mr. James M. Stocker. The vessel and cargo, we understand, were insured in Northern offices.— Charleston Mercury. Ist inst. The Storm.—On Saturday and Sunday night last, we were visited with a very severe storm ol wind and rain. Thousands of trees were blown down and in many places the woods were com pletely blocked up. Late corn is very much in jured. We have conversed with many planters, and have seen some cotton plantations, since the storm, and all concur in opinion that at least one third of the cotton crop is destroyed. We have hgd heavy rains since the storm, which must do still further injury to cotton. If these evils have been general, we have no doubt the diminished yield will be compensated by the increased price consequent on a short crop.— Albany Ga. Patriot, 29 th ultt. The Crops. —We are informed that in nearly all this county as well as Randolph and Tallapoo sa, Cotton is very poor. Indeed as far as we can learn, the crop of this section will be short, de cidedly; the cry being, generally, that planters will not make cotton enough—at present prices —to pay for the corn which, in consequence of the drouth, they will he forced to buy. As to corn, the middle and upper parts of Chambers and all of Tallapoosa and Randolph that we know any thing about, will fail to make bread. In the lower part of Chambers and upper part of Russell, the crops are better. Still there must be considerable importations of com from the West. Unless our farmers are more provident this fall than usual, and sow what, oats, rye, and the like, extensively, we may expect tight times next year. We trust, however, that they will for once obey the dictates of common sense. — La. Fayette (Ala) Tribune. 29th ult.
