CROCKETT, Chairman, < M. P. Crawford, ) c . . c T n Qcnnm ' [ Secretaries. u v/. j v Large Cotton 13oll,?Mr. Andrew Turner, ^ of this District, has laid upon our table a cotton y boll which measures one and a half inches in a length, and nearly four inches in circumference. * It must not be inferred from this specimen j boll, that the cotton crop is in a state of for- f wardness and thrift. On the contrary, the ac- t counts Ave received on Monday last, sale-day from H almost every neighborhood in the District, rep- t resent this crop as quite backward and unpromi- s sing. The growth of the weed was checked by ^ the cool weather, that prevailed some three or c four weeks ago, the plants became diseased, and % many of them died outright. The stand is, in s consequence, very bad. The danger is now, v since the days and nights have become warm, t that the plenteous rains which have fallen during g the last two or three weeks, and which are likely t "/v a? tvaoI/q lAnrrnr iii/lnrinnr W CUUtlllUC IWU Ul UJl W nwao ivu^vi) from present appearances, will cause the plant to run to weed with but little fruit on it. How- ^ ever, nothing like an accurate estimate ot the yield can be based upon its present appearance; c so much depends upon the fall season. But c judging from " the signs of the times," we re- i port the prospects of an abundant cotton crop as very unfavorable. , We rejoice that we still have a most cheering report to make of the corn crop. There have ' been abundant rains in almost every part of the , District, and the prospects of a plenteous harvest were never more flattering. The corn plant has that dark green, succulent and lustrous appear ance which so delights the eye of the farmer. And were no more rain to fall from this until its . maturity, the yield would be amply sufficient for , the wants of the District. 'Tis true it will require a quantity of this grain to swell to their just proportion the lean, lank, and flabby horses ' and mules that may now be seen " dragging their ' slow lengths along" the cotton and corn fields. But since there are now no hogs in the country? with shame be it written?and only a few neat cattle, the most of whose compatriots have found their graves in the buzzard's craw, the demand will not be very large. As an evidence of the j1 prospect of a large corn-husking, the price of this grain in our I/strict has fallen to seventy- 1 five cents a bushel, and is destined to fall still lower.?Newberry Sentinel. Alarming.?The Knoxville Register of the 1 19th ult., says: "Several of our citizens have been suddenly stricken down or late Dy the prevalence 01 some unknown cause, similar in its effects to a painful and rapid diarrhoea, accompanied by vomiting, and sometimes accompanied with spasmodic affection.

The Pans Constitutionnel of June 6th, has the following paragraph in a'long article on the United States and Mexico: "If Europe does not prevent it, Mexico will very soon disappear in the agglomeration of the States and populations of all origins, which compose the American confederation, then the Union will have only to absorb Canada, which would ""'I'""'" i?in konrlc in fhftt. nnnAXRtion. tO OCCU rr JvriM , py the whole extent of the North American continent.

It speaks of negotiations?of colonization?of the ?quilibrium of power in the new world, <fcc., as imong the means of preventing the absorption )f Mexico into the territory of the U. States.? European statesmen have work enough to main;ain the equilibrium of Europe and to counterpoise radical tendencies by conservative iniluen:es. This idea of a balance of power in the new vorld is constantly haunting their minds. It ,vas one of the favorite conceptions of M. Guizot vhen the Minister of Louis Philippe. But when he idea is put into definite form?when the node is .indicated of realizing a balance in the lew world as it exists in the old, we perceive iow vague the notion is. Where are the ma erials to be found for a political equilibrium? or a balance of forces by which the aggressive endency of the United States, if such exist, are o be restrained ? If, as M. Guizot imagined, the Spanish or Latin races admitted ot oemg conronted with the Anglo-Saxon, it could not be 'fleeted unless by an union of all the Spanish American States on this continent. Who beieves in such a Union ! If Mexico is not saved inless there is such an equipoise between the aces, her fate is sealed. The Anglo-Saxon will vork out his " manifest destiny." The French journalist does not recommend orcible interposition by the European powers, )ut ho has a squinting in that direction. lie eems to suppose that the United StBtes will in 10 long course of time claim the right of inter ention in European affairs. This he concludes vill form the justification for European interpoition in American affairs. When our statesmen ind people determine to intervene in European [uarrels, it will be time enough to put in such a >lea as this. But any mode of interference in he controversies of the new world, under the iretext of maintaining among its nations and aces the balance <>f power, will assuredly precipiate that American intervention between classes n Europe?betweenBthe rulers and ruled, which s now no part of the policy of our government, >r the wishes of our people. Lot in any dispute vhich may arise between Mexico and the lTnited states a movement be made, as indicated by the M-ench paper, and not only will it stir a feeling n the population of this country, that will absorb klexico and the Islaud of Cuba, but induce that pirit of propagandism throughout Europe, which vill be of the utmost danger to the monarchical >rinciple and hereditary influence. European tatesmen must not attempt to realize on this lontinont, the idea of an equilibrium, to be efected by force of arms, or they will kindle a :onsuming flame that is likely to involve thrones tnd altars, princes and potentates, that now rest mire under the auspice* of the non-intervention irinciplc.?Evening News.

The Winnsboro' Register In animadverting upon our courso in the Presidential election, says: "The Camden Journal.?Our neighbor of this devoted Southern Rights paper has begun to swerve considerably, ns we think, from his former perpendicular, and make tracks towards the fence. Now, we do not wish to censure or condemn the courso taken by I our especial friend, but as we feel disposed to make i <-....1.0 ?i,a ntimr to-wit. out of the- Union. wo nav.nn kiiv w?iw ? --?, _ f have thought proper to drop a few words upon tho subject. In the Journal of the 2d inst. our neighbor, after taking high ground against the Whigs, (which in the main, is all right,) 6ays: 'If we support them (the Democratic nominees,) at all, let us do it heartily. <fre." We shall try to answer the Register in the order in which his objections appear. First?As to our beginning to swerve from our former course and " making tracks towards the fence."? This is only a matter of opinion on the part of the Register, and in point of fact, is without foundation.? Wo ask any one who can, to show from any of our editorials since the annihilation of Secession, that we have, in the least, repudiated a solitary principle touching the right or duty of South Carolina to secede, or regretting tho course wo pursued during the pendency of that question. Since that matter was decided, we have been free to condemn the course which some of the Secession and Co-operation Journals in the State have pursued. This interminable war of words, and their idle vaporings, we think inconsistent with the true position which parties ought to assume in South Carolina. We ask, what good is to be expected from keeping up party organizations? Secession is hopelessly dead, and it will be far from magnanimous on tho part of the Co-operationists to claim entire control and direction in every thing relating to the policy and course of the State. Regarding tho question of Secession as settled, we think it the true policy of all parties in the State to unite and make the best we can out of a bad bargain Our remarks heretofore have been full and have sufficiently explained this point Our position has not been changed by making ''tracks towards the fence"?this on tho part of tho Register is a gratuitous assumption. It is obviously now, the policy of South Carolina to pursue a course which will tend to strengthen a bond of union with her sistor Southorn States, for the idea is supremely ridiculous on the part of a fraction of her people to suppose that they can " make tracks out of the Union." Where is the reason or sense of talking so much about that which may be safely regarded as an impossibility? . The great burthen of the Register's objection Is to our entering " heartily*' into the Presidential canvass? that by doing so, wo exclude ourselves the privilege of oxpressing our approbation of any Whig measure, or of condemning in either pa>ty that which we may see amiss. Not so, friond Register?you are altogether wrong. Wo will have just the same right to apprcrvo or condemn what we may see, as though we occupied a position of indifference or independence,' such as you suggest Wo have never supposed that because we saw fit to advocate the measures of a certain party that wo must of necessity belong to the leaders of that party, and must think and act as they dictate. No so? we reserve the right always to think for ourselves, and when wo urgo upon the State the policy of her casting her vote for Pierce and King, we do so with the honest conviction that it is right. And furthermore, if we pretend to support the Democratic nominees, let us do so "heartily," for we are ono of those who believe in tho doctrine that if we cannot get out of the Union, we must do the best we can in it We mean, let us be in earnest?lot us show our Southern friends that we are disposed to aid and strengthen them, to co-operate with them?let us be united at home, and throw the burthen of agitation upon the North where it belongs. We copy the annexed extract from the article in the Journal of tho 2d inst, to which the Register refers, and to which it objects so warmly. Our readers can see for themselves, whether there is any thing therein which indicates " tracks towards "the fonoe." We object to this phrase, and desire that our friend will not use it again, at least in reforence to our course, for it does not belong to us. "If tho South, in a body, would always yield a hearty and cheerful support to tho party which came nearest to their standard of right, in a few years she would dietato the principles upon which the country should be ? L? I governed, this eiaie mum j?ug uwu^icu ? p^uum position?she has stood aloof from federal politics, and withheld hersell from all those associations arising out of party connection, which bind together the several States of the Union perhaps moro strongly than any thing else. She has been in the Union but not of it.? What has been the result ? Has any good thing been effected by it? Does any one hope that good will result from continuing in it? It is evident to all that we could not have done worse, and perhaps if our par ty alliances had been stronger, the moral efToct of our position might have operated upon our sister States of tho South to produce a different consummation. Wo are now in favor of playing the best game we can with the cards dealt out to us, (bod though they be,) to strengthen tho hands of our partners, and weaken our opponents. Laying the Corner Stone.

The Editor of the Advocate, Dr. Wightmax, President of the Board of Trustees, was in attendance, and in speaking of the occasion says:? "It affords us much gratification to say that these exercises were of a character which called out a universal expression of satisfaction on the part of the guardians, patrons, and friends of the School, while they reflected the highest credit upon the able and laborious Faculty. " We speak advisedly when we say that the Senior Exhibition in declamation, at the close of the occasion, was equal to any thing of the kiud which we have witnessed in tho last ten yeare in regular College commencements. "The Oration before the Literary Societies by Mr. Price, of Camden, 8. C., abounded in brilliant periods and eloquent thoughts." We learn from the same sourco that the Newberry and Greenville Rail Road passes within a short distance of the School, and will be finished in a few days as for as Cokesbury, by which arrangement a person may take breakfast in Camden, dinner in Columbia, and supper in Cokesbury. " Tho great convenience of access to tho school from all-parts of the State, the deserved reputation of the lrwation for health, and the high grade of instruction, for which the Institution has always been famous, will present strong inducements to parents who wish to give their patronage to a first-rate High School, under the direct supervision of the South Carolina Conference." Rice. The introduction of this articlo into the Southern States, has added greatly to their prosperity, and has givou anothor important grain for their use. How much has this crop increased the comfort of thousands of masters and slaves ? How many thousands of acres of swamp lands, which before the introduction of rice were only the sources of disease, are now, by the hand of industry converted into beautiful, pioductive fields, teeming with food for man and beast, and waving their golden treasures to the breeze. Without slave labor this important crop could not be cultivated in the low grounds where it now is; it may be raised to a limited extent in upland, but is there an uncertain crop, yielding comparatively little to the acre. It is only on swamp lands whero a command of water can be had to flood tho land, that rice can bo extensively cultivated, so as to become an article of export As an addition to our food it is much used at the South, and large quantities are shipped to the North and to Europe, and its constipation abroad is fast increasing. Rice is perhaps the most profitable crop raised, and it requires a large-and strong force to cultivate it to advantage. Besides supplying an abundance of most nutricious food for all engaged in its production, the gleaning of tho fields fatten tho myriads of birds and water fowls that fiock to the plantations on the gathering of the crops. * * Washington, July 6,1852.?A number ofthe Southern delegates are dissatisfied with the has tv manner in which the secession card of Messrs. loombs, Juhnson, and Stephens, of Georgia; Fulkner, of Virginia; and White and Abcrcrombie, of Alabama, was given to the ublick in the columns of the Intelligencer.

Q At Louisville on Friday, the funeral cerenKK^HO nies that were performed in honor of the arrival of the remains of Mr. Clay were of a most imposing description.

The Fa- 1 neral Cortege left for Lexington the same day at fi noon. 3 That General Pierce is a Northern man with Southern principles it needed not the record to ^ establish in a general sense. Bat it is perhaps' not so well known, that he fought shoulder to J shoulder with Southern men, not only on those rM questions which involve the peculiar doctrines of democracy but in every stage of discussion * when slavery and anti-slavecy principles were brought into conflict in Congress. The Nation-, al Era of the 17th ult. contains an elaborate ar- mti tide in which the proofs of Gen Pierce's ad- 1. herence to Southern rights are accumulated 24 that he might be rendered, if possible, obnoxious to his Northern friends and supporters. The j Era has taken all this trouble to confute the New ? York Evening Post, which had affirmed that Gen Pierce had taken the same ground- as Mr. Adams, as to the propriety, of abolishing slavery m in the I >istrict of Columbia, but "declared that yl he would give no vote which might be couj il strued into a denial of the right petition."? ijfl The Era conclusively shows "that tne Post has derived its information from a very partial reo "J ord," by a through search of the proceedings of Congress, commencfng with the entrance into the .1 House, and closing with the resignation of his ,.?j seat in the Senate, by Gen. Pierce. . 1 In February, 1835, the 6rst petition for the j? abolition of slavery in the District was presented J? and the vote of Gen. Pierce is recorded in the j* affirmative with the Southern members to lay 4 the petition on the table. The Era traces bis j course step by step, and in every stage o the voting on petitions of that character he found JB side by side with the Southern members. On seven occasions in 1835, the yeas aud nays were ^ taken in the House, and on every odo of these Gen Pierce voted with the South. On eight oow casionsin 1836 he did the same, and twice ia-fl the year 1837. In that year be was transferred ! | to the Senate, and what does the record show I there ? In the words of the Era, W1 e took his ? stand by the side of Mr. Calhoun, and -tood by .9 him in his efforts to suppress aut:?s!a eiy rgita- Sj tion and discussion." . . f 1 On Mr. Calhon's celebrated resolutions in troduced into the Senate in Decembe-, 1837, Gen. Pierce will be found to have voted in favor 9 of four of* them and when the modification was "M proposed of the fifth and a substitute adopted, 9 which, in deprecating' the interference of citizens fl of one State with the institutions of another, or the States themselves" being stricken out, where was Gen. Pierce found, in opposition to some of his Northern Democratic friends who supported the other resolutions? lie was found by the side of Mr. CalhoUn. On three other occasions H in the Senate he voted on anti slavery petitions ^R with the South. So we are thankful to the Era for this ample record of Gen. Pierce's vote^*on that question which is so eminently Southern, VVc arc obliged to the Evening Post for attempt-, fl ing to show a sympathy between Gen. P. and , 9 Mr; Adams on the right of petition, for it has in- * M duced the former of these papers, in attempting . to show that there is no such sympathy, to make ! a s<> important a correction of false inferences from the record.?Charleston Evening News. 4hH From recent statements on good anthority f m there were in 1851, no fewer than 2,983,833 men ifl under arms in Europe, and adding the supple* mental corps of volunteers, National Guards, the aggregate would be swelled to 3,000,000. ^ JB The population of Europe then being computed Jn at 227, 403,000, it makes the proportion of one-; M ont of every twenty of the adnlt population of Europe a soldier. Besides this immense army dM there was an aggregate fleet of 2763 vessels, carrying 44,105 guns, and manned by 150,000 seamen.
