(From the “Story of Nell Gywn,” by Peter Cuuningham in the Gentlemen's Magazine for May] “The satirical epitaph written upon King Charles 11. at his own request, by his witty fa vorite the Karl of Rochester, is said to be not more severe than it is just. ‘Here lies our sovereign lord, the King, Whose word no man relics on; Who never said a foolish thing And never did a wise ono.' How witty was the reply: “The matter, - ’ he ob served, “was easily accounted for—his discourse was his own, his actions were his ministry"s."’ “His politeness was remarkable, and he could convey a rebuke in the style of a wit and a gen tleman. When Penn stood before him with his hat on, the King put off his. ‘Friend Charles, - said Penn, ‘why dost thou not keep on thy hat? - ‘Tis the custom of this place,’ replied the mon arch in his usual strain of pleasantry, ‘that never above one person should be covered at a time.’ “He was altogether in favor of extempore preaching, and was unwilling to listen to the de livery of a written sermon. Patrick excused himself from a chaplaincy, ‘finding it very diffi cult to get sermon without hook.’ On one oc casion the King asked the famous Stillingrteet ‘How it was that he always read his sermons be fore him, when he was informed that he always preached without book elsewhere 'V Stillingfleet answered something about the awe of so noble a congregation, the presence ot so great and wise a pnnee, with which the King himself was very well contented. ‘But pray,’ continued Stilling tteet, will your Majesty give me leave to ask you a question ? Why do you read your speeches, when you can have none of the same reasons? - Why truly, doctor, replied the King, ‘your ques tion is a very pertinent one , and so will be my answer. I have asked the two houses so often, and for so much money, that! am ashamed to look them in the face.’ Thu ‘slothful wav of preaching,’ for so the King called it. had arisen during the civil wars; and Monmouth when Chancellor of the University of Cambridge in compliance with the order of the King, directed a letter to the University that the practice of j reading sermons should be wholly laid aside. ‘"Of Barrow, he said that he was an unfair preacher,' because, as it had Iraon explained, he exhausted every subject, aud left no room for others to come after him; but the King s allusion was made somewhat slyly to the extraordinary length as well as to the usual excellence of Bar row's sermons. We have been conversing with several persons from the country within the last few days. All agree that the present crop of cotton cannot amount to half what it did last year, particularly on the hill land. It is now opening very fast, and some planters are almost one third done picking, though the month of August is but lit tle over half gone which is little past the time when picking commences some seasons. The drouth has entirely ruined the crop. We know of several planters who do not expect to make over one third of their usual crop. The price of cotton is on the rise, and we predict is bound to rise much higher. Prices cannot rate below wha: they were last year. The present prospect ts dismal enough, and what is worse, iris grow.ag daily more so. We hear of good crops no where Even the swamp landsevince a remarkable tak ing off.— Vicksburg ScMruri, 2W sir The Caor*—The loUowiag is fro® tie Mass field Advertiser of the Ifith xlt- pcbeufced tai' ! De Soto parish We have seen a sample cm new rossoa nssed on the plantation of Mr. M. Dins at Xusaeu. The staple is short hot very rie It at proow ! bly be c.ased as t»:r —worth, aocn&ac to qpnCt ttons 91 cents Mr. Bits Has already si-pced cdP lour bales He planted for eighty bales, aed will make perhaps twenty. Short as tus crop is. he has done better than a majority of our planters. The growing cotton crop of this parish will be lamentably short. No change of weather can possibly reclaim it. The drought has done its scathing work, and general showers would now fall powerless upon the desolation it produced. Our planters will not make one-fourth of a crop. We nave lately conversed with many of them from different sections of the parish, and some informed us that their crops will average three hundred pounds to the acre, some two hundred and fifty, some two hundred, and some no more than one hundred and fifty. The average crop of the parish will probably be between two hun dred and three hundred pounds to the acre. As far as definite and reliable information extends, the crop in South Arkansas. Western Texas, aud in all our neighboring parishes, will be fully as short as in this. A Giri, who worked in a Printing Office. —A Cincinnati paper states that three years ago a jioor orphan girl applied and was admitted to set type for that paper. “She worked two years, during which time she earned, besides her board, about S2OO, ami avail ing herself of the facilities which the printing of fice offered, acquired a good education. She is now an associate editress of a popular pa|>tr, aud is engaged to be married to one of the smartest lawyers in Ohio. We should be disinclined to credit the above if we did not have so many evi dences of the elevating influence of the printing office.’’ [From the M tiledgevilie Recorder.] Starkville, Aug. 25th, 1801. Messrs. Grieve & Ormk: —We have had an other severe storm of wind and rain, very much similar to the one we had 12 months ago, but more severe and of longer duration, bringing with it more rain. It began about noon on the 23d, and continued till 9 of the night of the 24th. Its effect upon the crop is, as I have learned from the different portions of our county, quite injuri ous. The rust is spreading its ravagespretty ex tensively throughout the country, which lias caused a considerable portion of cotton to burst open precociously; this has caused the injurious effect of the storm upon the cotton crop to he greater than it otherwise would have been. Besides, it is the general opinion that in. con sequence of the weeds having been turned and twisted about in every direction by the wind, but so severely by the torrents of rain that at tended the wind, that it has been so injured as not to be able to continue bearing, but on the contrary to throw off" a great deal that it already has borne. Late corn that has not had the Ibti der pulled off. is all blown down flat, having had the blades split into strings which has put an end to fodder gathering, and will prove quite injuri ous to late new ground corn that has not so ma tured. Trees, fences and chiinnies were blown down profusely in many places. The vast quantities of rain that have fallen will conduce to rentier our county more un healthy than it was before, I fear. From Yucatan. —By the arrival of the schoon er Star, Capt. Gammon, we have received Cam peachy papers of the 10th ami 15th hist. They do not contain much news, though they express a conviction of the gradual subsidence of the In dian troubles. Complaints of the interference of the English in the affairs of the Peninsula continue to be made. It is again asserted that the authorities of the Belize settlement furnish the Indians with arms ami ammunition to con duct the war against the whites.— N. O. Pica yune, 30M ult. Chatham Mutual Loan Association. —At a meeting of this Association, last evening, S3OOO were loaned at a premium of 39J per cent, average.

What did the South Gain iiy the Compro mise'—As Mr. Clay is one of the great leaders of the “Union. Party,” we presume none will dispute the truth of his testimony. On the 23d of July, 1850, little more than one year ago, Mr. Clay, in a speech delivered in the Senate, said “Senators from the Northern States may go home to their constituents, after this measure shall have been passed, and say “the North gains the admission or California as a free State. This is sure. She is dedicated now and forever to that freesoilism which you so much prize. - ’ “The North avoids the introduction of slave ry by the authority of Congress in New Mexi co and Utah—and as in our opinion, the lexloci excludes slavery from the territories, it is highly probable they will both remain and become free territories. “The North has New Mexico detached from Texas, with a high degree of probability that she will ultimately become, as before stated, a free State. “The North secures the abolition of the slave trade in the District of Columbia. “Are not these objects of sufficient magnitude to satisfy any moderate, rational Northeru wish? What concession of power and authority is made by the North? What rights are sacri ficed' Tell me, if the North does not get almost every thing, and the South nothing but her honor.'' The New York Herald of the 30th ult., says: Arms, ammunition, clothing, medicines and : provisions, intended and purchased for the Cuban revolutionary army, have been sent from this i harbor. Two vessels, whether American or of some other nation we cannot precisely say, ! were purchased some days ago, and freighted with these articles.—Many thousand of dollars doubtless, have been expended in the business, and thus any one may judge that the number of arms and quantity of ammunition were not small. We have not heard that any citizens of New \ork have taken any active part in the enterprise, but have reason to believe that the foreign capital has been employed for the purpose. Hence the ease, security and secrecy with which this undertaking has been carried out. Indeed by this time, with ordinary speed, both vessels must be at or near their destination, and will supply any immediate necessities which the revolutionary army may require, while the arrangements made will add to the revolutionary force several hundred well drilled and well equip ped men.

He must have known that there was an immense disproportion between the errors themselves, sup ■posing them all to have been committed and un explained, and the charges made against me by the author of “Doctor.” He was aware that the author of those false and, scurrilous articles, thru§t himself forward as a volunteer in detrac tion and falsehood, to assault me for reasons which found no justification in his personal con nection with the matters treated of hy him. He became an officious intruder in the first place, and a malicious assailant in the second. I do not deem it necessary to publish the arti cle of “ Doctor,” upon which I founded my call upon Dr. Jones, which will be seen below. The public has already seen it in the prostituted columns of the Chronicle § S r ntinel , and portions of it in the Constitutionalist Republic. I charge Dr. Wm. S. Jones,for inserting it, in his columns, with sinking his paper into the lowest, and mean est, and foulest depths of licentiousness. It was disgraceful to him as a public journalist and a man. and was utterly inconsistent with the pro fession which he has publicly made as a member of a respectable church. The stigma, of the foul transaction, will re ! main upon him, at least, until he shall acknowl i edge the w rong he has done me, and make atone ( meat for it. I will take this occasion to observe that 1 have I frequently declined publishing articles in the : Republic, which I formerly edited, because of the , harsh expressions they contained against politi j cal opponents. | 1 have subjected myself for it, on several occa j sioiis,to the complaints and censures of personal j friends. The dignity, honor and fairness of the press, should be always maintained. Its true value is impaired, and even utterly destroyed, when it cuts loose from the mooringsol decency ami vir , I tue, and its great object, the dissemination of useful information, to permit individual character . to be falsely assailed, and that too in the lowest terms of the blackguard. The Chronicle $ Senti nel has been degraded to this base purpose, and must henceforth, without an adequate purgation, take its rank among the lowest and vilest publi cations in the land. I submit the following correspondence wth a ! few words of comment. Augusta, August 29th, 1851. Dr. Win. S. Jones : Sir :— Considering the article signed “ Doctor,” which appeared in the Chronirle h Sentinel of this morning, of such a character as to make you. as the publisher of that paper, a party to the out rage, I demand of you that satisfaction, for in serting it in your columns, which is due from ; 1 one gentleman to another. This will be handed vou hy my friend, James I Gardner, Jr., Esq. Respectfully your ob’t. serv’t. James M. Smythe. This letter was received by Dr. Jones. On j Tuesday, the 2nd instant, the following note ] was handed to my friend, Mr. Gardner, to be delivered to Dr. Jones : Augusta, Sept, 2nd, 1851. Dr. Wm. S. Jonn Sih A reasonable time having elapsed since the delivery to you, on Friday last, of my note of that date. 1 take occasion to call your attention i to it. and inquire when 1 may expect a reply > Respectfully your ob't. serv't. James M. Smythe. The card, of Mr. Gardner, below, will explain what occurred on that occasion. Suffice it for i me to say, Dr. Jones declined to receive it for the reason assigned by Mr. Gardner. On the 3rd instant, the following note was conveyed to him by the hands oT my friend, Wm. W. Montgomery. Esq. Augusta, Sept. 3rd, 1851. Dr. Wm. S. Jones : Sir Considering the article under the signa ture of ‘•Doctor," which appeared in the Chroni cle Sentinel, of last Friday morning, of such a character' as to make yen, as the publisher of that paper, a party to the outrage, I demand of you. lor inserting it in your columns, that satisfaction which is due from one gentleman to another. This will be handed to you by my friend, Wm. W. Montgomery, Esq. Respectfully your ob’t. serv't. James M. Smythe. This he declined to receive, alleging, in sub stance, that he had nothing to do with the mat- I ter; that the author of “Doctor " was responsi | hie for its publication. | It will be seen, from the card of Mr. Gardner, I that Dr. Jones objected to receiving a third note ! from me, through bis hand, (for the reason as signed,) after he had previously received two. I neither of which had been, nor have been to this moment returned. It will be seen, further, that Dr. Jones stated, if I wished to make any com munication to him, I must select another person to convey it to him. I did so, and the card of Mr. Montgomery will show what response he made to my note of the 3rd instant. This es tablishes his cowardly evasion of the responsi bility which rested upon him in the premises. I now leave the conduct of Dr. Wm. S. Jones with the publication of this correspondence and the foregoing remarks, to the judgment of the public. JAMES M. SMYTHE. Augusta, Sept. 4, 1831. Mr. James M. Smythe: Dear Sir In compliance with your request. I state that I called on Dr. W. S. Jones, on the | 3rd instant, and handed him a communication from yourself—a copy of which, I believe, had . beer, previously handed him by Mr. Gardner— which communication he declined to receive, upon the ground, as I understood him, that he did not consider himself in any way responsible for the attack upon yourself, contained in the ar ticles iu the Chronicle $ Sentinel , under the sig- j nature of " Doctor.” Very respectfully, yours, Ac. W. W MONTGOMERY. AUGUSTA. Sept. tth. 1831. Jakes M Smtthe, Esq.— iW Sir —At your request 1 state, that on the irttb ult.. 1 bore two communications from you to Dr 'V. S. Jones. To the one first presented, be wrote a reply and handed it to me at that interview. The second he received ami wad ta my presence While reading it I said to star ‘it will be proper for you to answer tnat taxough your trisnd." 1 then withdrew. ; N j Answer lav ■ 04 been received to that com- ! TmoiOAttott. 00. the dad tost 1 called on him at lis ■rftce with another communication from 1 <m. Tit* he Archived to receive. He stated that you. Mr Smytfce, desired to make any MKauneastern to him, you must do it through sense other channel, as he would entertain no comar.uucmtion through me. He assigned in that interview as his reason for thus declining, iu reply to an inquiry to this point from me. the terms of enmity existing, and known to you to exist between him and myself. This reason, if sufficient on the 2nd of Septem ber was equally so on the 29th of August, as no change had taken place in the relations ex isting between Dr. Jones and myself between those two dates. The sufficiency of the reason I am content to leave to the judgment of hono rable men. Yours respectfully, JAMES GARDNER, Jr. New Express Lins. We would call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Messrs. Combs & Chamber lain, in this day’s paper, from which it will he seen that they have recently established, and now have in successful oi«nition, an Express Line from Charleston, through Augusta, to Chat tanooga, in Tennessee, and Montgomery, in Ala bama. Messrs. Combs & Chamberlain are well acquainted with the business they have under taken, and, so far, their line has been found a great accommodation,both hy our inercliants and citizens. They deserve and should receive en couragement. Temporary Editorial Change. We perceive from the last Southerner , that Mr. J. W. Dodd has retired from the editorial department of that paper for the balance of the year, and that the paper will, during that period, be under the editorial management of Messrs. Patton and Garlington. We welcome them into the corps, and hope they may find their labors pleasant, and that the cause of truth and justice may be promoted by them. We copy only two or three sentences, as fol lows, from the address to his patrons of Mr. Dodd; To the Patrons op the Southerner. — O wing to private engagements that will demand his absence from Rome the greater part of the remainder of the year, the undersigned relin quishes for a time the post of editor to F. Patton and R. Garlington. He regrets that circumstances compel him to leave his station at this critical and interesting period ol the contest in Georgia, but is more than gratified that the defence of the principles for which he has contended will be left to abler pens. Messrs. Patton and Garlington are gentlemen of talent and ability, and zealous defenders of the rights of the South. Irwin County.— The Federal Union says : A friend who has lately been travelling through Irwin county, writes us that Irwin will give McDonald and Benning from 250 to 300 majori ty. We liave also received most interesting ac counts from many comities in the upper part of the State. Let the friends of the South every where be up and doing and all will be well. Hogs and Crots in Kentucky. —The editor of the Cincinnati Price-Current has addressed a letter to a gentleman who has been travelling through Kentucky, and visited perhaps every county in the State, relative to the supply of hogs, and the prospect of the grain crops, and gives the following as. the substance of his re ply: He says the number of HogsJn Kentucky this season is about the same as last, but they will be much heavier, and will consequently yield an ex cess of both Meat and Lard. Feeders are antici pating fine prices, and Corn being plenty, and comparatively cheap, the Hogs will be made as heavy as possible. For stock Hogs $3 50 per 100 lbs was being paid in Madison county, and 83 25 was paid for fat Hogs for delivery. The corn crop promised well, and the yield of Tobacco would be very heavy. He thinks the market will be glutter! with the latter article. This information we regard as most reliable,the gentleman who communicates it having mingled with the citizens of the several counties through which he travelled. A Few Corrections. The N. O. Picayune, of Friday morning says: —“The disorders in this city on Thursday last, were bad and discreditable enough, without the blunder and exaggerations which have got abroad through hasty telegraphing. In Charleston, for example, a dispatch is pub lished, dated here on the day of disturbance in which it is said: “The Cuban liberators, mostly Western men exasperated by the tone of the Spanish paper, La Patria, this afternoon attacked the office, &c. - ’ The office attacked was La Union, not La Pa tria. The assailants were not Cuban liberators at all; on the contrary, in the course of the dis turbances of that day, scarcely one of this class were recognized among the rioters, and a con siderable number were forward in volunteering to preserve the peace. The following is an ad ditional dispatch, dated the next day, when, ac cording to our experience here, everything was quiet: Aew Orleans, Aug. 22.—Two thousand men this morning surrounded the City Prison, where the Spanish Consul has taken refuge, and threat ened to demolish it unless the Consul is delivered up to them. About fifty police are on the ground. 1 he cigar shops kept by the Spanish were nearly all destroyed during last night. Minute guns have been fired since sunrise in honor of the murdered liberators. The bodies of Victor Kerr and Col. Crittenden attract many visitors, and produce much feeling. This is news in New Orleans—never heard of before it came from Charleston. The City Prison on the morning of the 22d, was as undisturbed as a church. The Spanish Consul was never in danger nor threatened, that we heard of. The | attack against his office was sudden, but neither I then, nor during the succeeding demonstrations against the cigar shops, were the persons of any Spaniards molested at all. The Consul might have walked the streets, and we doubt not that his person would have been safe. The refuge in the prison, and the crowd demanding him, are sketches from the imagination, or a vague street rumor which had no foundation at all. The pub lic visitation to see the bodies of Kerr and Crit tenden are also the creation of fancy, for these last relics of the brave have not been received in the city even yet. • There was a report on Friday morning that a 1 vessel had arrived with these bodies, but it prov , ed to be untrue." The Cuba Meeting. We have seldom witnessed a more animated and enthusiastic assemblage than that of the friends of Cuba, at the City Hall, on Wednesday evening. A brief report of the proceedings will be found in another column. Our space only permits us to add, that over thirty uames were placed upon the muster-roll, after the adjourn- I rnent of the meeting, and we understand that the number was considerably increased yesterday.— , Success to the Liberators. Since the above was in type, we learn that the : Cuba Volunteers, at a meeting held yesterday evening, elected John Jhinizy, Jr., Esq., as Cap tain. We are gratified to state that he has ac cepted. The election for other officers will take place this evening, at the City Hall. All who desire to aid Cuba, in her straggle for liberty, are invi ted to attend. Mr. A. F. Owen, Consul in Havana, was hung in effigy in Baltimore on the 29th ult. by a crowd of several hundred persons. [COM Ml XICATED.J Arouse, Sons of Cuba, why linger you now !

To the Southern Bight* Party of Columbia County. An important crisis in our political organization is now impending. An election is just at hand, and upon its issues must be determined the nu merical strength and destiny of our principles, so far as Columbia county is concerned. The contest Is one for principle; the issues involved are great and fundamental constitutional rights, which the Southern Rights party think have, in spirit or letter, been infracted. While contend ing as a party for what we concieve to be cor rect principles, it would be the extreme of folly and a positive abandonment of principles, yea, a de reliction of duty, to cast our suffrages for any man unless he is essentially de jure and de facto a Southern Rights man. We gain nothing in point of principle, or political achievment, by voting for a man unless he is in tobo with us.— From these facts, it strikes us with great force, that the party in Columbia cannot, with a just regard for principles, vote for any man, whether he runs by nomination, or as an independent , unless he be thoroughly identified with it. There are now three gentlemen before the people of Columbia for their votes, all of them be long to the same party, in oar estimation, hence there is no necessity for Southern Rights men to cast their votes for either. The true and intrinsic policy of the party, is to run its own candidate and let the motto be " sinJc or swim, survive or perish we go for our country and our principles. A precedent independent of this, would be fraught with the worst of consequences to the future success, organization, and harmony of the party. In conclusion, we can only say, stand finp friends, let no political uspirant divide our ranks, or secure our suffrages, merely for the sake of gratifying his own political thirst. There is no prudence, no principle or sound reason in such a course, it is suicidal and fallacious. If a man is not with us, he is against us, and let men of the Southern Rights party, who believe in the justice of the cause, and the purity of their doc triae, resolve to stand to their colors, or fall tri umphantly attempting their defence. Let us run a candidate ' Peyton. SEPTEMBER 4th, 1851. Messrs. Editors : —Yesterday it was brought to the notice of your fellow-townsman, Dr. Wm. E. Dearing, that a poor family, seventeen miles from Augusta, were suffering from that loath some disease, Small Pox, and from causes useless to mention, medical attention could not be pre cured ; immediately, his services were perferred, and in one hour he was on his journey. Such energy and pure disinterestness, 'tis hoped are not unrewarded in your city. Medical skill a!oi:e was wanting. The prudence and benevolence of Brothesville and its neighborhood had provided against the spread of the disease, and the for com fort of the afflicted family. Y° u rs, Piney Woods.

Editors ; —A writer under the sir. nature of “ States Rights" in giving an account in your paper, of the meeting at Woodstock makes several misrepresentations in reteien > to my remarks on that occasion, which I to correct. He represents me as saying that Southern Rights men were infamous and cow ards." I made no such remark. I did say, how ever, whoever believed that he had been robbed cheated and degraded by the National Govern ment. and expressed a willingness to submit to it, was either insincere in the declaration. or cowardly. The Union party have been, and are now called the basest submissionists. My p,, sition was that they were the true submissiuniut wl lo acknowledged their degradation, and yet w ere willing to submit to it. The writer, likewise thinks proper to construe my rebuke of those that were on that occasion hissing and groaning at the speeches upon the Union side into abuse and villification of the whole Southern Right, party. As to the sorrow which he expresses lor me, he had better reserve it, as the time may come, when it will be needed for himself and hit friends. Yours respectfully, I. T. IRVIN, Jr. Public Meeting.

(From the M Sarannah News, 'idins/.} Meeting of the Friends of Cuba. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weath er last evening, a large and enthusiastic concourse of citizens, assembled in Monument square. The meeting was organized by calling Dr. R. D. Ar nold to preside, and appointing Robert H. Hab ersham, Esq., Secretary. The meeting was addressed in eloquent and appropriate speeches by Dr. Arnold, W. S. Bat singer, Esq., and Maj. Samuel Hoyt. The following preamble and resolutions were submitted by Mr. Duncan, and were unanimous ly passed: The glorious intelligence of the success of Gen Narcisco Lopez and his gallant army having reached this city, the people of Savannah favora ble to the disenthrallmentof the Island of Cuba from the oppressive and corrupt bondage of the Spanish Government, have assembled to congra tulate the friends of Liberty and the exiled Cu bans throughout the United States, on the joyful prospect of this object being speedily accomplish ed. Be it therefore Resolved , That the glorious caus* in which Gen. Lopez is now engaged, being similar to^ hat which animated our revolutionary heroes, deserves the hearty sympathy of the American people, and that the exiled Cuban.-, who are now in our midst, anxious te join their brethren in the struggle for independence, are worthy of all the assistance which a generous nation can bestow. Resolved, That should any foreign intervention be attempted to maintain Spain in her conflict with the revolted Island ot Cuba, it would be the duty of the American Government to use all the means in their power to oppose such interven tion, even though a war should be the conse quence. Resolved, 1 hat the barbarous and inhuman con- j duct of the Spanish authorities in putting to« cruel death Crittenden and his unfortunate com panions, finds.no justification in themselves of 1 civilized society, no palliation in the emergencies ot their position and that, deserving the severe reprobation of all good men, the American peo- 1 pie pronounce on it their unqualified condemns-) tion, and in the opinion of this meeting it is the duty of our Government to demand an explana tion from the proper authorities regarding it. Resolved, That it is the hope of this meeting that the American Consul at Havana may be able to clear himself of the imputations he has incurred by refusing to interfere in behalf of his countrymen, about to fall victims to such atro city, not only for the sake of his character as an officer of this government, but also for his char acter as a citizen of the State of Georgia. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to each of the papers of the city of Savan nah for publication. On motion the meeting adjourned. New York, Sept. 1, 10 A. M.
