.xtract of a letter received le Charleston from a respectable planter, dated "EDISTO ISLA%'D, May4. Our agricultural prospects are indeed gloomy, it is-estinated that on this Island, ,only one half of the Cotton crop is not up;. while in three or four plantations, plants of the usual number may be seen, on others, not the one fourth of one acre cheers the grower. Such an occurrence has never taken place within 'my know ledge as a Planter for'33 years. Rain enough to lay the dust has not fallen since the 26th of March. Now, when it is con sidered, that long cottons, especially the finer qualities, require for their maturity the full season with which we are usually visited, and that the time' for the coming up of the crop is form the 1st to the 15th of April. It seems scarcely possible, un - less in reference-on high and warm lands, the Summer be dry, and the Autumn a late one, that the harvest can be other wise than meagre and unprofitable." METHODIST CONVENTION. or A Convention oftbhe Clergy of the South and Southwestern Methodist Episcopal Church, assembled, in Louisville on the W 1st instant. We condense from the Lou isville Journal the procediugs of the first dgy: On motion of Dr. Capers, Rev. *Dr. Lovic Pierce, of Georgia. was called to the chair, who, after some appropriate re marks, setting forth the necessity of re cognizing the Divine blessing on the Con vention, read an appropriate; portion of the Scripture, and offered up a solemn prayer to Almighty God. Rev. T. N. Ralston, of Kentucky, was chosen Secre - tary pro tem. . On calling the roll it was ascertained that of the one hundred and two members that had been elected, eighty-two were ' present. Dr. Capers remarked that ie would like to see one or' jte other of the venera ble superintendents present. (Bishops Soule and Andrew). occupy the chair. He knew of no methodist meeting, from a general conference to a leader's meeting, or a class meeting, where the Bishops had not a right to preside. Dr. Longetreet then offered the follow ing Resolution, which was adopted: 'Resolved, That the Bishopsof the Meth odist Episcopal Church, now in attend ance, be requested to preside over the meeting from day :o day according to such arrangements as may best suit their convenience. Bish6p Soule arose and responded, that he felt greatly gratified at this manifesta tion of the good will and confidence of his brethren, and that in this sentiment his colleague fully concurred with him. They, however, wi.hed to postpone a defitite re ply till to-morrow nmornirg. The Convention then proceeded to elect a Secretary, when Rev. Thomas 0. Summers, of Alabama, was chosen. Rev. T. N. Ralston was chosen Assistant Secretary ; and soon after the Convention adjourned to meet again the next day. MAcON, May 5. Extract of a letter received in this city, dated May 5th.-Since I last addressed you we have been without rain, and the severe and destructive drought still con tiuttes, enhancing the value of small grain and destroying the prospect for a Cotton crop. Much of the Cotton seed planted - remains in the ground without a possibility of vegetating until we have rain. The prospect for thte season is by fur the worst I have ever seen. Many of the young plants have withered from heat, and if this state of things continues ten days longer every paper from Georgia to Memn phtis, Tennessee, will be heralding forth si! ort crops." Appropriations by thme last Con gress. The late session of Congress appropriated $24,25,88,as follows: Civil and diplomatic exa espe ases, $1.270,954 51 Revolutinary ted other pensioners. 2.255,000. 00 Support of the A rmy, 3,928,766- 30 SNavy, 6,360,788 68 " " Post Of. flce Department, 5,16;000. 00 Sumpport of the Indian DJepartmnent, 1,058,503 74 - " Military Academy, 138.049 0 Navy Pensioners, 61,000 00 Fortifications. 800,000 00 Improvements in the Territories, 50,000 00 Miscellaneous, .144.025 67 Tut al, .94,225,088 90 The folloiving memorandum was found a number of years ago in the pocket-book of an officer of the Massachusetts line: -A UGUST 19, 1783. WVeighed at the scales at W~est Point: General Washington, 209 lbs. General Lincoln, - 224" General Knox. 280" General Huntington, 132 " General Greaton, 166" Colonel Swift, 219 " Colonel Michael Jackson, 252 4 Colonel Henry Jackson, 238 " Lieu tenant Col. H untington, 232 Lieutenant Col. Cobb, 186 Lieutenant Col. Hlumphreys, 221. ' It appears from the abdve, that the av .erage weightt of these eleven distinguished revolutionary officers was 214 pounds. The heaviest weight having been General Knox. who weighed 280 pounds. and the lighest General Huntington, who weighed 182 pounds. It is somewhat singular that the biographers of eminent men never, unless -under circums~tances of a peculiar character. reeord the weight or dimensions of the clay tenemeits which were the abodes of their inimortal spirits. .- Pal//et Mallthew say.,. in a recent letter, " Our sacred caus# is.steadily progressing, notwithstanding the troublesome times upon which we have fallen. There are over five millions of teetotalers, and'the proportion of' backeliders is not one in five -hundred. The whole of the rising gener ation are being educated in the strictest. habits of temperauce; and in a few years, drunennes~ il be a thing passed away Fire in Newbern N. C.-The Wil minkton Chronicle of the 7th inst. says: "We have verbal intelligence that a most destructive fire occurred in Newhern on Friday morning last. As we heer some thirty or forty buildings were consumed on South Front and Middle street ; among the number, many large and valuable brick edifices. No estimate of the amount of the loss sustained has been received. The warm sympathies of this commutrity cannot but he aroused on account of the' affliction of our neighbor town." At the annual election held yesterday at the Planters and Mechanics Bank of South Carolina for Directors, the following gen tlemen were elected to serve for ti e ensu ing year :-Daniel Ravenel, John Robin son, Robert Martin, C. G. Memminger, William Aiken, William Bell, William Ravenel, T. J. Roger, William -Adger, A. S. Williugton.J. J. McCarter. Samuel G. Barker, Charles T. Mjichell.--Courier, A Gambler Punished.--Daniel Aldridge has been convicted -in New Orleans of keeping a farm table, and sentenced'to pay a fine of $1000, and be imprisoned twelve months. Ripe Peaches.-May 5th, 1S45.-Capt. Henry Lyons has just sent us some beau tiful Nutmeg Peaches, perfectly, ripe and fine flavored, grown in the open air in his garden in this city. This remarkable precocity-shows that Columbia excels any portion of the Uni'ed States, lying inr the same latitude in the production of earl) fruits, and also gives high evidence that it is not the trees and clirate which brings about these tbings,but'that much depends, as in this instance; on -careful attention being besto red on them,-SouiA Caroli nian. Cornstalk Sugar and Molasses.-Per haps it may be interesting for some per sons to know that Sugar. and Molasses was make from C"rnssalts, as long since as the time of the Revolutinnry ivar, but owing to the want of ihe requisire infor mation for clarifying it, the flavor was so unpleasant, that it was not esteemed, and the making of it was consequently aban. doned.. Science now remedies this craw back on its use, and may we not hope to see it, together with many other objects of domestic enterprise : which have been deemed profitless from ignorance and therefore abandoned; again resuscitated and brought into active production. No one can say certainly what should be done to receive the flagging agricultural inte. rests of the South, but that something must shortly be done, and that too- aided by Science and Agricurturat itformafion is not to be doubted.,South Carolinian. Terrible Hail Storm.-The Watchman' of the 1st instant, published at Decatur, DeKalb-county, (Ga7)sys:-"The injury done by the late hail- storm in this county has scarcely yet been ascertained. In some portions of the county, it fell in lumps to -the size of large goose eggs; breaking out glass, beating the corn, cot ton, &c., literally into the earthy stripped the trees of their fruit and leaves, and in some places the ravines, at the base of steep hills, wer covered to the depth of four feet. In word, DeKalb has not witnessed in a k ,.g time so large and des. tructive a hail si rn." Dueling in Louisiana.-The Conven tion r.ow in session to alter the constitution have incorporated a- sectiotn in the' general provisions of the conistitution, wh-ich dis franchises and renders ineligibility for any civil offce under the State any pers-on who shall hereafter fighta duel, be a second at a duel, or [carry -a chaliunege to fight a dueh. Free .Mascnry.-We ard pleased to state (says the C-tmden Journal,) for the gratification of ths brethiren of tnis-ancient and honorable institutionis that there has been a gradual increase itn the number of mnemibers of the Lodge at this- place.- Du ting the last week-, brother A. 0'. Mackey, the -recently appointed Grand Lecturer, paid- us a visit,- and infused- a M'a~sontic spirit amohg us, which we have niever seen exhibited before. In additi.ui before.. In addition to his interesting and instruc tive lectui-es upon the three first degrees' of "Atcient Craft Musonry," he revived the Royal Arch Chapter and conferred degrees npon a large number of brethren. A Break down.-Professor Wright, of WVoods'ocke, VI., was lecturing in that towri, a few nights since, on Gal'vanism, Electrically, &c when the floor broke tharough; ecarrying about thirty persons down wi'bh.it.!:and strange to say, no seri Otis injury occurred.. It was so sudden that many supposed it a part of the per formance ! and one fellowv remarked, as he lay under a heap of rubbish, "Well, I declare ! he gave us a d-l-of a shock- tha) time." - A: Dutchman- having suddetnly' lost atn infant, of w"homn he "'as v'ery fond, thus ventedA his inconsolable grief over the corpse of the child:- "I don't see whtiu did mnake him tie. lIe w~as so fat as put ter; I wouldn't had him tie for tree dol larsh !". An able judge was once obliged to de liver the following charge to tho jury: "Gentlemen of the jury : in 'this case, the counsel on both sides are unintelligible; the witnesses otn both sides are incredible ; and the plaintilf and defendan, are both such bad characters, that to me it is indifferent which way you give your verdict." Emigration.-The great emigration to the United States, which wvas foretold, and which has been the subject of comment by ihe. press,. has begun in earnest. Eve ry v-essel arriving is full of steerage pas sengers. The city of. Bremen, this year, will export 20.000 ;. and we hear that ar rangements are making in Engzland and Ireland to send out an unusual, number. It may be that the rumor o-f war may. pre vent many from embarking. Fiburteen hundred and seven passen gets arrived here during the weaek ending Masy Jst.-NM Y. Ev. Gazettle.

Full toilet re quires pumps and silk hose. We understand, says the Waslhington Constitution. that the President has ap pointed Dr. James i. Tate, Consu- to Buenos Ayres. Central America-A revolution wase fected in San Salvador, early in February, by conflicts between the military and civil authorities. Gen. Caliato Malispina. the commaudaat of the troops, was displaced. Weather.-After the shoker of rain day before yesterday. the air became mnore pleasant and bracing, though the parched earth still remains a heap of dust in a literal view of the case.

Cotton.-For the past week we have had a doll market, and our quotations ofthis day week barely sustained, in fact, if any quantity had beun put an sale, a reduction in price would have been the.consequence. Otr receipts, as usual, at this time of the year, are very light, andthe stoclk but moderate; yet we notice the stocks in the interior towns, generally. are pretty large, considerably more than they have averaged for the last three or four years.

Cottorr.-In- making out our weekly state ment of the Cotton market, we have nothing of interest orchange to notice, from our last semi weekly report. Business is quite dull in the city, and but few sales making from warehou ses. The receipts ha' e been light for the past six days. and stocks are growing shorter every day. We are now in the midst of a usual dull season, which taking into consideration the arrival of news from Europe, now close at hand, we.may say, that every thing commer cially, wears a gloomy aspect. As there are no alteration of prices since Thusday, we have set down these quotations as governing to-day's, which are as follows: Ordinary to middling, 43 a 54 Middling fair, 54 a 54 Fair, - 54 a 54.
