This law of associa tion is as inexorable as the law of motion which takes a pa-ticlo detached from a arrival at thst port, on Saturday last, of revolving mam off in a tangent. It can blighted by the drouth. The Darien (Ga.) Gazette reports the the ship William Wilooi, with cases of yellow fever on board. The Captain had died of it, and the mate was then dying. I The vessel waa from Havana, four days out, on her way to New Bruoawick. She waa quarantined fifteen miles below Da- j rien, and a physician sent to attend the ' aick. Nearly all the crew were aick, and two had died since their arrival. Fred Doronss, tbe negro leader of tbe North, publish©# in hit paper, the Motional Era, his views of the policy of j his race in the South. It is that they should concentrate in three or fonr of the States in which they are now strongest in numbers, and get permanent control of them, fle suggests 8 >uth Carolina. Flor ida, Mississippi and Louisiana as States . in which they can successfully carry out a | movement of that kind. Thx editor of tbe Freeman t Journal 1 ins-sts that be has good authority for bia j statement that the German and Spanish author.ties are negotiating for the trana- i fer of tbe island of Porto Kicofrom Spaio ' to Germany. But he refuses to give the: sources of bis information until Don Car- lot reigns in Madrid as King of Spain, which he thinks will be within seven or • e ght months. We regard this announce, meat as an indefinite postponement of hit revelation. The Galveston Xev* of the 22d instant publishes special dispatches from various parts of Texas, all dated the 21st, report ing continued drouth and a great reduc tion of cotton estimates. Some say that the crop will be redtic d in their localities from one-tbird to two-thirds of what waa expected. Tbe places making such re ports are New Braunfels, Me Dade. L >ng- view, Honey Grove, Bonham, Palestine, never, following that motion, return to the body from which it separated. The Radical Convention to nominate a candidate for the Third Congresaional District met in Americas on Hatarday last. The Postmasters at Americas and Hawkioaville, with two other white men and a number of negro delegates, consti tuted tbe Convention. Tbe Hawkinsville Postmaster was Chairman, and the Ameri cas Postmaster Secretary of the Conven tion. The negroes wanted to nominate Elbert Head, a man of their own color, but the fonr whites h*d things their own way and procured the nomination of Col. Jack Browol This is the same Col. Jack Brown who was too “straight” a Demo crat to support Greeley ani Brosn, and who a week or two a nee announced him self an “independent*’ candidate for Con gress on the “ground hog’’ principle. And he appeared before the Convention and accepted the nomination, and not only the i.ocuinstiun, but the controlling i -sue of the negro Radical party, as ap pears by his speech of acceptance, which *eeopy below from the Sumter Repubti- ran : Gentlemen of the Contention :—\ take this occasion to return you my sincere thanks for the honor yon hava this day confrTred upon me as being your stand ard-bearer.

There 1 * re always and everywhere a few men to whom “independence" of party is a \ pleasing and flatteriug position—men i who do not stop to consider its tendency and its inevitable goal if persisted in.
