WEATHER, CROPS, &c. 'he Cotton Crop.-The following is an extract of a letter, written in Coweta county, acd addressedLto a merchant in this city. It is dated on the 6th instant: " If a abort crop of cotton will have any influence on prices, they will - certainly improve That there will be a short crop throughout upper and middle Geor gia, there cannot be a doubt, and I learn the prospect is no better in the lower part of the State, in South Carolina, North and South Alabama. It is now upwards of three -weeks since we had a drop of rain, and for the last two weeks Cotton has not grown half an inch in height, and what is more unfavorable, it is -now fast dropping its boles and forms. I have been at a Camp Meeting for the last four days, which was numerously attended by the citizens of several counties laying con tiguous .o this,- and I have not seen the frat man, who expressed the opinion that there would over a half crop of either Cotton or Provisions."-Sav. Republican. Since our last there have been showers of rain in some parts of our district, but they have been very partial, and we may saywith propriety, that the dry weather still continues. The prospect is a gloomy one. It has become very difficult to get grinding done at the mills in consequence of the extreme lowness of the tsater.-Pendle ton Messenger, 15th inst. The Weather-Crops.-This immediate section of country is still suffering with the continued drought-or, rather, we are parched up and vegetation no longer able to suffer. The corn crops are exhausted, and many of our farmers will scarcely make a bushel to the acre, But while this is the case immediately around Char lotte, in the upper part of the county, and in parts of Lincoln, Catawba, and Iredelt. particularly along the river and creeks, fine crops will be made. Upon the whole we think the fears of a famine are ill founded. With the old crop of corn yet on band, and the crops making in some parts of the neighboring counties, we be lieve a bountiful supply of bread stuffs may be had by every body. None need suffer who v ill be industrious and. eco nomical.- Charlotte Jeffersonian.15th inst . Drought.-A correspondent of the Nets York Commercial Adversiser writes from Rochester under date of August 4: " For eight weeks we have but once been favored with much rain, and our recent green fields are likening unto burnt pra ries. The hay crop, which is now tnost' in, is very-sbort. and our farmers will b compelled to sell- part of their stocks for they cannot winter them. The- drought seems to prevail also at the West. A gentleman here yesterday from Ohio says that good cows can now he bought for $6 a head. Wheat however is abundant in every direction, both in the western part of this state and in the states bordering on the lakes." The Weather and the Crops.-We men tioned in our last paper, the heavy rains which had fallen for a few days previous to - its publication, and the prospect of another deluge. On Tuesday and Wed nesday, the rain contitnued' unahaed, ex tending far back in the country, and reu dering the river navigable for steamboats. The Richland left for Charleston on Wed nesday evening, and the Utility on the following morning. The a'ect ot the crops, of the protracted wet weather, has heetn, in general, decid'edly advantageous. The late planted Cord has much impro ved in appearance, and from enqiuiry and observation we are now aatiefied that, in this section of the State, the Corn crop will be at least half an average one. Cot ton is doing well, and it now unrintly de -- pends on the seasons to coure, whether it will be materially short or note so far as this immediate vicinity is corcerned Farmer's Ga:.ette, 12th inst. Wo believe that the people of our Dis trict are unnecessarily alarmed at the prospect before them; and though the hopes of the farmer seem blasted. the yield of corn will be more than is antici pnted. There is, we learn, tmuch old corn yet in tbe couetry; and could the holers of this, be persuaded to open tbeir hsarts, atnd sell it to their neighbors at reasonable prices, this, together wi~h the incomitng -crop, such as it will be, will go far to sup ply the deficiency with us.' To ask fr-om a neighbor an exorbitant price, merely because he is in nee-J and cannot help) himself, we believe to be decidedly wrong and unchristian; and let such remember, fortune often changes hands, and they may be placed in a sinitar situatiotn them Belves. We have heard of many asking one dollar per bushel for corn at the crib, and even more, whilsr- there are others who would take five dollars, could they get it! Corn can be bought in Charles ton at 50 or 60 cents, and in Trennessee at from 10 to 15 cents per bushel; and should we be compelled to- buy at either of those places, though the distance is great, the facilities for transportation are euch u. wv that it could be delivered at this place short of a dollar to the bushel.-Abbeuille Banner, 13th inst. The Crops.-The Selma (Ala.) Free Press of 3d inst. eays :-Accounts from all parts of the country tell of short cropis. We can now speak with certainty of the corn crops, which are generally cut off fully one-half-in many places, two thirds or tbree -fourths, in many places, there has not been rain sufficient to wet the ground at. any one time, for about three zpooths, during the greater part of which time, the weather has been excessively . warm. Cotton is generally ren-arkably small and unpromising, more so, perhaps, than -at the same time any year for the last ten or twelve years. The drought has continued so long that the groundl has b.ecome so dry as not to afford sufficient moisture to keep the weed in a growing state. There must be a great change for .Ithe better, esle the.crop must fall far short of au average one. Itis., however, im possible, as yet, to speculate with any thing like certainty as to the result. -Good seasons in futute, and a favorable fall, may do much to help ont the crop. The weather has somewhat moderated, but r continues perfectly -dry. The nights are -sufficiently cool and quite- pleastant." the 6th inst. has the following: "The accounts of the incoming crop are rather unfavorable this week. The plant has rebeived more injury from the long con tinued drought than was at first anticipa ted. It appears that the rains we have reported as fallen within the last three or four weeks, have been only in spots, and by no means general. The impression is now gaining ground in the interior, and founded too, we believe, on careful re search, that the crop will not be an ave rage one, unless the season from ibis out should be unusually favorable. Should the plant escape all the accidents to which it is yet liable-should there be late frosts and favorable weather for picking, there may be an -average yield; but under no other circumstances can there be. accor ding to the belief of the most intelligent and practiced dealers in cotton in the country."-Mercury. 14th inst From the Mercury. 14th inst. GREINSBot.oUGB, Al., Aug. 9. The Cotton Crop.-Within the last week or two we have conversed with sev eral planters in refetence io the Cotton crop, and find the opinion very general that the crop must be shcrt. For two weeks past, the growth of the weed has not only been entirely checked by the drought, but we are assured that in some placec it is actually smaller that it was three weeks ago. On some of the fine canbrake lands, .the Cotton is scarcely hull its usual height, and is now opening up to the top. Nor is this state of things confined to this neighborhood-a gentle man who came up a few days ago from the neighborhood of St Stephens. informs us that he saw not more than one or two good crops on the-whole route. From all the information we 'have been able to gather, we are fully satisfied that there will be a large falling o8 in the crop of South Alabama. YoltvILi.E, S. C. Aug. 9. So mach has been said and written about the drought and the crops that we really dislike to touch the subject. But duty to our distant readers. requires that we should let them know our situation. - In a word then the first is unparalleled in our history, and the latter, miserable. There will be produced it is true, in some lavored spots and on low lands some good crops, bur generally speaking, the crops of the district are lamentably bad. Mitch of the corn crop was planted late, and had rain fallen in abundance last week or even the present one, we perhaps might have struggled through the year with sonre degree of composure. Neto Cotton.-Six bales of new Cotton were received in this ptace on Friday fast. the 8th instant, from the "Cane Brake" plantation of Richard Sondlev. Esq , in Newherry. District, and put in store in consequence of the shortness of the crop, Mr. S. wri'es from Newberry, on the same date, I do not wish the cot;ot srol, as it does appear to me we cannot make one-third of a crop this season, under the most favorable circumstances."-Tenp. Advocate, 14th inst. A leiter from Flat Rock, North Caroli na, of Saturday evening last, says: "I am very glad to see that you have rain in town. We are much in want of it here, not only for our own immediate co'mfort, but for the poor far'mters, who are begin ning to hrve a dreary pospect hefore thane for next Winter. The very trees in the woods are dying from lack of molst'are, and many of our neighbors will make no oorn at all."-Courier, hdth inst. Sale of the Mlonroe Railroad-We learn from the Mttacon papers that the sale took place, on Tuesday the 5th inst., in that city, in pursuance of the decree of the Superior Court of Bibb Ca-untj, which F;as been published fur the last two nmonthe, and that the road, andl all its fix tures, incidenuts and franchises. *ere knocked off to Jerry Cowles, Estq.. at the sum of one hudred and fifty five thou sanid and one hundred dollars, as the rep resentative of Newv York Capitalists, who ewn o.ne half of the stock; ashd that the otbL- half of the stock, is owned by our own citizens who were original stock holders in the Comnpany.-ederaI Union. Fatal Affray. Atn affray took place in the Satnd hills near Columbia, on Satur day last, between t wo individuals, Mlessrs. 8tack and Hlornsby, when the latter re ceived a blowv on the head that fractured his skull, from the effects of which he died on Monday. As this affatr will un dergo judicial investigation, we forbear tmakring further remarks.-A dvocate, 14th inst. Rail Road Accident--Anu accident oc curred on Tiwsday afternoon, as' the up wvard train of cars were passinig beltaw Lewisville, by their coming in '-ontact witb a cow, wich threw the engine off the track down a precipice of about 40 feet. No injury was done to. any person, the engine becoming disengagetr from the cars from the jar. The cars were con ducted here, we leartn, by the " Hayne,' another engine, which happened to be a short distance below.-Advocate 14th inst. Boston again in the Pietd.-Thbe Newa York Spirit of tife Times, of-Saturday. contains a challenge from the "Boston party'" offerinig to run a stallion, Bostoni of course, for $10,000, over the Peters burg (Va.)

In Georgia, we observe :bat the whigs are avoiding the great political gestions of the country, the tariff', bank -distribution, &c., and endeavuring to place the can vass sol6ly on state policy. Let success attend which party it may, we see reason to hope that the renegade Berrien will not be returned to the Senate. At any rate, no defence of his course is set up by the presses of his partv, now.-Pendleton Messenger, 15th inst. A Tall Price.-The N. 0. Picayune of the 4th inst. says :' The first bale of newv cotton, Which we noticed as having been received a day or two since by Wmr. Laughlin & Co., was sold to Oakford & 'homas for fifteen cents a pound. If all I the new crop could he got rid of at that' price, the planters might snap their fingers at hard times.-ibid. Munificent Bequest.--The various be- ' quests made by the late Hoil. isaniel Wal do, of Worcester Mass., amounts to over $200,000. His sister, who died in 1840, bequeathed $49.000 to various benevolent institutions.-Patriot, 121h inst.. From the Republican, 14th inst. (f Cori.--Having heard much col cernng the very Autry prospect of Corn Ctops; and having had several applica. tons from our friends in the country to purchase corn for them, we wrote to New Orleans inquiring on what terms it could be bought there, and tt what rate it could be shipped to Charleston, the answer to which, we give below, for the information of our friends: Extract from a letter received, dated "NEw ORLEANS, Aug. 7,.1845. Corn is now worth 34 a 36 cents, which is low for this season of the year, acrd as the present crop is likely to be a full av erage one, we think it probable that the market may open below the present rates. Freight engagements have been made to Charleston recently at 10 cts. per bushel." At the above rate we think Corn can now be laid dowd in this place at 54 a 55 cts per bushel. We beg leave, by this meatds, to sug gest to those of our country friends who may need Corn, and require our agency in procuring it, that they forward us their orders by the first of O:tober next ; at that time (as cash is necessary) place funds in our bands for the pnrpose, and we will at once order a sufficient quantity to supply their several dettands. WALKER & 1'EARSON. Hamburg. August 13, 1845. Gudno-the real grit.-The St. Agns tineyerald of the 5t6 inst. says: " Why should every body run crazy after the Guano from the Pacific when our own country can furnish a much better article. Wherever salt water or fresh runs. there are large beds of alluvial deposited, which on chemical analysis, we think. will he found sone of the most valuable compo nents which combined with others will form a much cheapsr manure that can be imported. " If Guano, however, must be had, why not come to Florida; and as long as it lasts, we will supply it. A friend tells us anat on the Pellican Islands, of which there are a number in the Tomoco river, there ere large deposites of the article the real grit. The pilican and other acquatic birds of the coast congregate there in tnyriads, and afford to the planters a rich manure if they choose to take it away. And besides this the young squab furnishes all the oil they need for use in their cotton ginning." A correspondent of the St. Louis Re publican, Mr. J. A. Hubbard, who had in early youth (together with his brother) been bitten by a mad dog. states that hoth were cured by drinking a sarong decoction made ' , the hark of the toot of the black a. .vhich is a well known cure for the bite of a rattle snake, drinking a wine glass full three times a day for eight days. This is a very simple remedy. and should at least have a trial. He gives the fol lowing as the mode of preparing it: Take the root of the common upland ash, generally called black ash; peel off the. bark, and boil it to a strong decoction ; of tbis drink freely.
