His address was about three fourths of an hour in length, and was marked by great warmth and elo quence.

For the Advertiser. MR. EntnoR:-ll your papei a short ime since, a writer ttnder the signature f "Old Saluda," published an nrtcle ta eeplete with trite vulgarisms and stupid t personalities. He dared not attempt a refutation of the Message of Ex"Gov t Hanmond--bt ironically styles him a I Jemi-God. There is just as much sense I mnd justice in this remark, as there would be in my calling "Old Saluda" a deni Devil and no more. It is tore tolerable ao listen to a licentious and wonton esaay, in which there is wit or reasons, justice or :ommou sense-than to listen to the "vox Dt preterea nihil" of one. "hich has no edeeming or palliating merit whatever. In lieu of reel argument "Old Saluda" aould impose a mere wrangle upon the :ommunity. He is personal altogether. I conceive bis main purpose to he-to forestall public )pinion against the rejoinder of '-Anti Debt" to the series of articles now being published in behalf the Bank. Hence he makes the charge that this writer and others whom he mentioned are stock holders in the private Banks. This charge is entircly gratuitous. For the sake of argument, as well as to declare what I believe to be true-1 deny the charge. Let him prove the affirmative let htn evett attempt it with any show of reason, and he will Hind the task itmpossi ble-because the charge is untrue. Were hie able to prove it-still the argument versus the Bank would remain untouched stud unanswered. Meet "Anti. Debt" by some eff'rt at tubstantial argument. and :the the con munity may believe that be has other resources than those which enable him merely to impeach the motives of this writer-and to warn the- public against trusting his statements. I do not say that any argument which "Auti Debt" bas, made or, will. make against the Bank i irrefragable -and de. tetving absolute reliance on the, phet-ot he .people. . In fact, the. cortroversy. .is jut ria 8ning. Fair"..a )et. an proves-himselfe worthy' to be tearde and suidie'd.' The same musa he' said:of "Anti. Debt" who justly avoiding il invidious charges against the tnlotive" 1sf his antagonists, argues the question (or the Bunk exclusively upon grounds of pubslic policy. He caonaends thsat such institutions in power and intfluence becomne superior to tall control te government-legislatio'n seinag indlirectly forced to subaserve their ends and proposss-that they aoften illude. -b-y specious exhibsitionas of their capacity he Legislaturo to vote large appropria tions of the public faunds with ut accomn plishing any publhic good-and that our Bank las taever paid a dollar of~ the deob's if the State by its profits. That there haos sever been a dollar of the State debt bona tide paid at all save t he small amount or bonds purchased up by the Comptroller General with the surplus of thec taxes." But I do not pretenad at this time to judk.e between thlese parties. It would be pre mature. 1 do however protest agaisas the illibseral and -nnjuast nttempt of " Old Saludra" and of other writers of the samte ralibre-to prejudice the pubbec mind aand ihus as far a. they are able disqualify it clispaassionately to consider what has been, rand may hereafter he, written againast the policy of a pubhlic hatnk. This very ell'ort of "Old Saluda" and his petty coadjutosrs is anticipated lay "Anti-Debt" n here~ he says "I (he) anm itnclined to 1hink ahant the frienads of the Brank rely mosre upon the expectatiotn that these (his) tuumbers will nlever be read by the -tuardy sod honest farmers of the State, or if~ read, will not be fully unaderstood. It is o be htoped that they wili be disappointed n hoth these respects." "Old Staluda" seeinag no chance to prevent the reading af these tnmbers-sdopts a ntew subter utge to save the Bank--by telling the ~omamunity that their author is a stock solder ina the private banks and wrote i nserely to increase the value of his stuck, I I'his sir, is the spirit of a desianing dlenta :ogue, that would suppress free inquiry ipon matters of general and vital concern. JUSTICE. For the Adv'ertiser. HIGG:ss FERRY, August 2d, 1SJ8. Ma. EDroR:-SinCe I last wrote to iou. we have bad a pretty withtering Irought, which has considerably worsted aur corn crops and made some of us very nucta downs itn the naouth. Withitn the last seek or two, however. w'e have had very inte rains, atnd the prospect now is very air thast we shall make a plenty to live utp mn, and a little to spare to those who may re so unfortunate as not to make enough. it the time of the zJroaght, some of amy rienads amtused thsetmselves by poking their un at me about my saying this is the cen re of the globe-asking me whether the entre had moved, and wihere it is now, nad all that sort of thing. One gentle nan sent me word that he was very much urprised to hear 'hat wve had bteen suffer sag for want of rain here, and another said hat- he could' pt'ov6 "itncontrovertib)ly, in-~ 'on testably and -demontstratively," that his place. is not tha-centre of the globe. shonli litre vae' much t e bimn get bout his long-wordedefroof., tr"it had, -aiwed any where>else duriagt'he tine of he drought, th'e might ave'ad:soine lit :le.ground for thlkingbu g ut-it was dry. ivery where. all around'io far as I could tear, and therefore they.mny just shot up: )ur late rains go still farther'tr rye, hat "" jf we inay depend upon'rke ztitF nents of clouds in this matter," ihi place, s the centre of the.globe, the very place Nhere- the Mormons in accordinhewith heir belief, ought to build the Holy City.

Yet. they would all move surely rp and rrpet plump over the " centre cf rarity," tnd then, oh ! how it would raiu. Every body that I should chance to meet he next day, would say, - why it looks ike you have had considerably more rain iere than I have had." To conclude, Mr. Editor, does'nt it look unny to print can for corn and cotton for tats. Yours most-sincerely, YENBA. THE CROPS. ALABADmA.-The Montgomery Journal >f the 28th ult. says: "The late immense fall of raina, utire redented at thit season, have, we learn, teriously affected the cotton crop. The ow cotton lands are flooded, and the riv rrs and creeks at their average winter icight, and a continuance for a ahort time onger of this weather will render the :hances for even a half a crop problema-, ical." LoVUSIANA -The Coupee Tribune, of he 22d tlt. remarks: "Since Wednesday noon last we have had a pretty steady rain, with few inter nissiontts. We understand that the recent vet weather has produced rust in the cot. 'on, and that several of our planters will. no doubt, he injured materially from, it rhould the wet weather continue. We have also beeu informed that the eaterpil ler has tnn.le its appearance, but as yet. tot in sufficient numbers to do any very reat injury." Surgar Crops -Concerning the sugar crop, the St. Landry (La ) Whie says: -We learn from different parts of the par. ish. that their cropt is doing unustally well. T'ravellers. from Attakapas. and residents of that district, whose local pettialities ren Jer thetn the better witnesses, tell us that The sugar cr..ps of'St. Landry are far more llourtshing then those of St Mary, in-the aggregate. New engines, for the purpose r,mding the growing crop, are arriving laily. and planters, owing to the brilliant promise of the present, will he sadly dis. tppointed if they do not realize an abun' Jant prod ictive harvest."
