The Savannah Georgian of the 14th in it. says, The Hice crops.o our vicinity promise fairly, anil although a little rain would boos service to them we cannot complain. We sincerely wish as much could he said in favor of the Provision and Got lon crops—the former has fullered severely and we dear has sustained serious and lasting injury from the dry weather.

'Die Macon Tolegragh of the Kith speaking of the crops, says ; A month ago the corn crop was unusually promising. Now it is less Haltering. The droughts have been destructive in many places and storms of tain and hail in others. Though a huge corn crop was planted, it is not expected the harvest will ho over an ave rape one. Hess cotton was planted this year than usual, and the appearance of the crop now is far from flattering. The report that Mr. Strange of North Carolina, intended to resign his seal in the Senate, is con- Iradii led hy the North Carolina Journal, of widen Mr. 8. is one of the proprietors. A private cause —not yet made public—which rendered bis resi deuce in Washington very unpleasant, is stud to have given rise to the report. Mr. Urowu'a (ihe other Senator) term does not expire until ItH 1. So the liPgisluturo will not he of as much importance as at first supposed. I he following proceedings ol a meeting of the Ranks of Charleston, held on the Ist and 3d in fant, we copy Irout the Mercury of the Mth. Chaiilkston, 8. ('.Aug, 2. 1838. Siu : Although at ihe lime when the late I Convention of the Ranks of Georgia and South • Carolina was held in this city, the Ranks of Now ■ : V ink had resumed specie payments, there was no • satisfactory indication that the resumption would j soon extend to other Stales. The resolution adopt ed hy the Convention ol Racks tecenlly held in | Philadelphia to resume on the I3lh inst. has there i fore produced a very important change in the cir j ‘•uinaiancßs which governed the deliberations and . decisions ol the Convention held in this city. i | Under the belief that tins change of circumstan : cos would render a corresponding change of noli, | ey an important duly on our part, a conference j was had on the Ist and 2d inst., hy committees j from the following Ranks of this City, viz. The 1 Rank of the State of South Carolina', the Rank of j s '>nih Carolina, the Union Rank, the Planters & Mechanics Rank ol South tlamlina, and the Rank | of Charleston ; at which the Preatm lo and Koso- | j Intionssubjoined were unanimously adopted, and ; I have received Ihe sanction of the said Ranks. The Ist of September ensuing, you will see, j lias been fixed on as the day lor the resumption | of specie payment*. An earlier day was propos- j ed, and would have been preferred, but for coin-id- i • rations ol courtesy to the other Institutions rep- I resented in our late Convention, it was deemed I proper that they should have nut > to consider the 1 subject, and to resume simultaneously with us should they approve that course, in the hope 1 Unit from the call made upon us by the action ol Ranks m so many ol our sister Stales, out Ueso- I Union will have your approval, we aie respectful- ! ; ly your übd’t servants.

Apalachicola, Aug. The steamer Frances passed hereon Saturday last, with a company of U S Troops, under the command ot Capt. Hunter. They intend tun harking at Chalahoochie, and scouting the coun try between the Apalachicola ami Oclockuey Rivers, in search of the Creek Indians that are s ill roving about in this section of country. — Capt Hunter s Company have hud several skim nr idles with them lately, drove them from their camps, and taken the wife and sister of one of the principal Chiefs prisoners. From them it is understood that there is a division among the Indians; a part of them arc for murdering, burn ing and stealing, and (bo others wish to come in and be peaceable. If energy and perseverance can ell’eet any thing, Capt. Hunter will give a good account of them before many days. We wish him success.— Gazelle. New On leans, August I I. The weather continues to be oppressive to an excessive degree, without the slightest intermis sion in die violence of the heat. This equable | tempo alum of the atmosphere is not uuwholu : some, and so long ns it lasts, vve apprehend no i thing from epidemic fever.—Hut we are now not (nr from the middle of August, and no sign of pcs* | lilcnce has yet made its appearance. Usually in | former years, when the yellow fever prevailed, it July. We are far from believing that the city is yet. positively and absolutely secure from its at tack, for we recollect one season, (that of 1832 wo believe,) when it did not disclose itself till the I-t September, and then ns ravages were truly awfu’ —almost every attack was fatal. The at mospheric phenomena of that year may have been veij different from those of the present — and le; u» hope that as this season has thus far been very remarkable over the whole continent for its excessive heat, it may he still more remar kable for its uniform and universal salubrity. Uee. Seditious movement*; al llnvaim anti Porto Kico. Our Havana coircspondeiit transmitted us a day or two since the intelligence of a military in surroclion, the consequences of which might have compromised the tranquillity of ttio island of Cu ba. We would have hastened lo lay this infor mation lu lore our leadcis, had it been mom pre cise and explicit. The object, the extent, the causes and the mode and conduct of this conspi lacy were still a mystery, and onr correspondent confined himself to a simple statement of the lacls without entering into any details, the anthem ticily ol which might have been questioned. Now that vile are better informed, wc are enabled io satisfy public curiosity without the fear of future contradiction. It seems that the intestine commotions which for so many years have been afflicting the mother country, have extended *.o its dependencies. The island of Cuba while under the inflexible admi nistration of Tacor, was maintained in strict ads be-iuii and fidelity to the queen. The intrigues ol Don Carlos al length reached Havana, and his subsidized agents succeeded in corrupting the fidelity of several regiments quartered in the More Castle, As frequently happens, the plot was be. I rayed by one ol the conspirators, and tho new Coventor Espeleta, who follows in the footsteps ol his predecessor, immediately took the most I energetic measures lor its suppression. The I doors of the barracks were closed, and the resi | donee of tiro troops was at once converted into rheir prison. We learn dial eighty of the most insubordinate were executed on the spot, and an equal number await the decision of the Governor. As a sharp tiring was heard from the Castle, it is presumed that tho Executive did not accomplish his duty without determined resistances. It was doubtless the struggle of desperate men, who were avvaio that it subdued, their decree would I be irreversible. Porto Rico was somewhat disturbed by similar I ; seditious movements. A naval force has, how- ' I ever, been despatched by Espeleta, and there is ' iiltie doubt that the niiileoineiils will bo treated n ull the same prompt urjdsignal severity by which | Havana has been preserved from the horrors of | intestine warfare— lbid.

Distressing Ci iicuvis i anck. —The Coroner was yesterday called to view the body of an in fant aged nine weeks, the child of Mrs. Caroline Ki bbler, residing on tho corner of Church and Warren streets. The facts concerning the death of this infant arc extremely distressing, and must serve as a caution to mothers in future. It ap pears that Mrs. K,, who is a mute, and who has been married about a year, went out lo the Asy lum for the Deaf and Dumb, on Wednesday, to see some of her old friends and playmates, taking the child with her. On her return, she got out of the ears at Walker street, and walked home, with the child asleep in her arms. As she could not of course hear, she was in constant anxiety lest something should run against her and injure the infant, so she pressed it close to her bosom and went on at a rapid pace, tinning her head either way almost every instant to see if any thing was coming. On reaching home, her agony may ho better imagined than described when on laying the child down, she found it a lifeless corpse. In her anxiety lo shield it from harm, she had pres sed it 100 closely to her bosom, and being unable to bear its cries, if any were uttered, the hapless innocent was smothered. A female who was in company with her, testified lo these facts before a Coroner’s jury, who returned a verdict in aor.or . donee xvii.li itui above ciroumslunoes.-—„V', J . Cviw. a i‘h 11/. Raising tuk Wind. —This ciiy has within the past week, been tho scene of the operations of a Jeremy Diddler, who has contrived to lleece not a few of our citizens. About a week since, a person culling himself Colonel Benton, took boarding at the Exchange Jlulel, where he repre sented himself to be a wealthy planter from Mis sissippi, who had come to this city for tire purpose of purchasing slaves. His first operation was to wail on Mr Slater and Mr B.uley, slave dealers, and contracted with them for the purchase of negroes to the amount of nearly $ 10,000. Ho slated that he had not then any funds immediate ly available, hut that he had a draft upon the U S. Bank for $20,000, which, when cashed, would enable him to close the bargain and pay tho bill. His second essay was upon Mr Patterson, tailor in South street, from whom he ordered a large quantity of cloth ng, to he sent lo his hotel, and charged to Dr. Benton. Clothing lo the amount of $55, was furnished him, and goods to the amount of $49 were cut up to be made into a dress for him. Being thus arrayed, he entered upon business on a largo scale. He took every opportunity of spreading the report of bis im mense wealth, and upon the strength of that leputaliun endeavored to got credit. His opera tions in that way were numerous, hut he did not succeed iu all of them. A demonstration was made by him upon the Mcssts. (Jamphells, jewel er*. iu Market stri ct, from whoso stock of jewelry he selected several valuable articles, and had them wrapped up for lire purpose of carrying them away, but Messrs Campbell refused lo part with them without tho cash or good security, A 'ivory stable keeper was also tried, unci from him he selected a pair ol match horses, which ho tried and agreed to purchase. Mr. Acklaud, a bout maker, also suffered lo the amount of a pair of pumps. The gentleman was not disposed to let lime bang heavy upon his hands either. He re veiled in pleasure, was as munificent as a prince in his treats, borrowed money from tho har keep ers of the hotel lo defray his current expenses, rode about the city in hacks upon credit, and en joyed various other delights through the aid of the same system. Suspicion being aroused as lo his ability to pay his hill, he slipped off from Jew ett’s, and look up his quarters at Barnum’s, top resenting himself as the nephew of Senator Ben ton, and going “the largo figure” into tho good things nf tho establishment. Here, however, ho was obliged to do a cash business, ami not having ■ a sufficient sum to meet the demand, very obli | gingly borrowed it from a new acquaintance. This j system did not suit him, and he removed to the Eulaw house, wlieie ho ordered a suit of npait ments becoming the dignity of the character ho assumed. John Hoc and Richard Roe, however, sent him an invitation to wait upon Squire Shane, and after some considerable search he was found in his new hotel, and escorted to the Magistrate’s office, where he was unable to settle the claims against him, and consequently was compelled to take apartments in the vicinity of the Fulls. M the Squire’s office he stated his name to be John Benton, but he was recognized m the notorious David Theodosius Hines, a chevalier d'lndustrie, welt known in the Southern and Western states —MU.
