The Harvest We regret very much to learn from various parts of the District since the harvesting of crops has begun, that the worst apprehensions of farmers felt during the drought in July and August, have been fully realized, and that not more than half crops, generally, of corn and cotton will be made. The early frosts of this season have tended materially tp shorten llie cotton crop. Some sections will full considerably below a bait' crop ; others will do better. Suflicient corn has not been made to furnish the District, and where the supplies are to come from, is tjie <)po>t;on. Hud we n railroad ppmippnication with the business world it could be easily answered, and this fuc,t alone should stimulate us to renewed exertion to have the Central Knilroud eotiiplotcd as speedily as possible. The Legislature. The Special Session of the Legislature called for llie purposu ot casting the vote of the Stale tor President ana Vice-President pf the .United States, commences on Monday, 5th November. The general im prcssion, as show 11 through the newspapers, is that the extra-session will be continued until the regular Session. Should it be ascertained that Lincoln is elected, grave tnaL ters will couie up for the consideration of the Legislature, and which will require time Jor cnlui deliberation. The Charleston Courier believes that aside from the I'residonlbi) electing nn,d .its Results, the Special Electoral Session will be protracted into the regular, because of the many grave questions of State interest no\v pending, which will require more time for deliberation tjian js usually given to legislation in this State. M. M In accordance with a notice previously given, n branch of the organization known as Minute Men, was formed at this place pp Sqtji.'.duy Inst. The company consists of about forty tqeqihers apii ip dpily increasing, in spite of the croakipgs of certain fault fipders who see in this movement the ghost of tjio nullification excitement of '32. "Southern Constitutional equality in the Union" or "Independence out of it" is the coutroling piinciplc of tli's association, and thin is the ground upon which nil good Southern men profess to stand. The folIp.wing gentlepien were elected officers of the company : J. Williams, Captain. B.J. Witherspoon, 1st Lieut. J, N. Crocket 2 " A. M. Ferry 3 " The regular meetings of the Association will be every Saturday afternoon at 2 o*. clock, in t!/e Ppurt House. The Canvass in New York. The Merchants of tyew York city nrc making herculean etforts to defeat Lincoln in ihnt Slate. This, as much #s n*y indi. cations observed nearer home, jndopes jo us the hope that the South will resist in tlie event of Lincoln's election. These merchants, who are wide awake to the course whi^h event* arc inking, (inuiKlesfl llnnK no, of they would nut make such prodigious endenvors to avert the causes upon which ihe Swulh threatens to dissolve tlie Union. It is Maid tlmt William 11. Aster alone contributed one iiiillion of dollars, and from other wealthy sources large sums have been rained. And (Ium money in to be used in buying up votes to def-nt Lincoln. What s snd commentary upon the principles and morals of the people of Ihe Kuipire Slate ! If it has come to thjs, that the equulity of the South in tho Union hps to be bought and paid for by thQ: a who fatten upes Southern patronage, it were far bpller for the South, and more honorable to all cou eerned, that the issue of disunion be solved at once, und the South, either ussert her in* dependence and disgust of such craven { fiieDdsbipt or how her ueck to the y< ko whi?h^Hor<-r?r and his hosts are weaving forj Will Lincoln be Elected t This is the absorbing <mestion of the day, nud yet there are comparatively few among us who are bcdd enough to look the affirmative aide of it squarely in the face. It j is conceded that thcro is but the single I State of New Vork that stands between | him and a certainty of success ; upon New York then testa the sole hope of the South, and how fallacious this hope is may he inferred from ttie fact that New York has gone Uepublican for lite two last success^ ive elections, and the Uepublican gains in States adjoining, where elections hive recently been held, have been far beyond our worst apprehensions. So that the.chances are lurirelv in lavorof Lincoln, and tho sooner the South begins to assume that lie will be elected the better. Some of the States and that portion of the South generally which is inclined to I resist under any circumstances, have said that the circumstance of the election of a Olnck Republican to the Presidency will bo sutlicu-ut indication of the hostile purposes of the Government in respect to slavery to warrant the South in withdrawing from the Union. This is the issue upon which it is proposed to ut ile the South lor Iter own1 protection Will it succeed?will the South dissolve the Union in this contingency ?? If such is our purpose why this reluctance to look into the futuie?why is there manifested such irresolution and seeming indifference when the enemy Is about to advance to the very point where we have said lie could not go with impunity ! We should bo setting our house in order if we in? tend to do annytliing. Governments can- I not be changed ami revolutions cannot I take place without the etl'ects being ti ll by | every ciliy.cn in every relation of life. No man, whatever may be hi* position or call* ing, can hope to escape a share of the consequences to ensue from a disruption of the Government. What these consequences may he, time only can unravel ; we should be making up our minds to meet them, be they great or small, There is but one way to avert them nt)d that is by a quiet submission to Lincoln1* administration. If we determine to submit the only immediate danger that we need apprehend js an occasional outbreak among our servile population, either by poisoning, burning or some other species of atrocity, done through the insti Ration of abolition emisaries. No one at I all familiar witli the history of the times for the last few months can fail to understand that there is u settled system of underground manoeuvring at work by which the institution of slavery is to b?; uiudo a eurse aqd tprrcr to the whites of the South. And finally, when wo are subdued by fear for our lives and the institution is circumscribed nnd becoming daily more unprofitable, then we will be in a very lilting condition to submit to universal emancipation, S.. Domingo and ds horrors vvi|! reveal tho rest. If we do not like the picture which the resistance game conjures up, the evils ol submission are far worse. The first will bo but temporary and will result in independence and prosperity. The last will be permanent and result in ultimate ruin and degradation. True the dangers involved in submission are perhaps not so near at hand nni many of the present generation may never experience their full intensity, but w? have no right to transmit to posterity evils which we pap by prompt and united action avert, liven tlie beasts instinctively guard their young from linrm and should we be less mindful of the interests of our children ?? The question is pressed upon us end "0 should meet it ; we have no rjght to adjourn it to posterity. Whether the future of the South is to be one of independence and prosperity, or t|)e rpverae, wjll in n'l probability be determined within a few months. The whole question rests with the people and it is time they were making up their minds upon it. Take the question in any uspcct we may, either as one of principle or interest, and we are admonished by the signs of the limes to preparation ami resistance. if we subsist in the Union, it must bent the bare mercv and will of a sectional majority, ;i condition of things Hint in incompatible with the existence of civil and political liberty. With the power of the Federal Government in the hand* of the party whose purpose and determination it is to oppress and degrade us, there remains no guaranty for the protection of our rights and interests. The South must look to herself alone, uurf the condition of inferiority and vassnllagu m which her enemies design to subject her can only he averted by a prompt and united effort of resistance on the part of her people. A dissolution of the Union is the only remedy fjr the difficulties that are about to overwhelm us, nud it is a remedy that has no ter;ors for the South if she will act unitedly l.et us with one mipd prepare for the Ides of November and be ready to meet the result of the Presidential election, whether it he for or ngaip?t uy.

How a Supply of Corn may be Had I A coi respondent of tlie Laurensville Herald writes from Clark county* Missouri, to that paper, nnd suggests to the citizens of this, his native Stale, a plan by which they I can purchase a supply of grain at a very j reasonable price. The suggestion is cer- ' tailily entitled to consideration. The great- j oat obsticlc in the way of our District prof- , iting bv it is, that we have no railroad faoilties at our doc,rs ; but if w e can get corn j delivered at Camden, or Rock Hill, at GO cents .per bushel, it will be better than to pay *l.'2d at home, and perhaps not j able to get it at that. The plan referred I to is as follows : Let the citizens of each District where there iu n ..t' r.? I I. ..Ill ! s....... m.iu ..grim iinivr to Illinois, Iowa or Missouri. Lot the u- ! gents go toy Keokuk, Alexandria. Warsaw, ! Canton and Quincy, and advertise that they | will give 20 cents per bushel for corn, de- I livered at the above named cities ; and by J the time the river opens in the spring, they will hav.o corn sufficient to supply the demand in South Cjaolina The Ireight on grain, from the above named cities, is 7 cents per bushel to St. Louis, from St. Lou- : is to New Orleans 10 cents per bushel, and | from New Orleans to Charleston 10 cents per bushel, making the cost of freight 27 cents per bushel. By pursuing this course 1 corn will not cost no re than tit) cents per : OUshei, when delivered at Laurens C. IS. This fall \till be the best time to purchase. Corn is only worth about 10 cents per hushei in the lie Id, 15 cents in the crib and 20 eents when delivered at the river, sacks excepted. Coi.s. Oku and Ashmore.?We learn from the iirtenrille I'atrint that Cols. Orr ; | and Ashmore addressed the citizens of I Greenville a few days since upon the politics tif the dav. Col. Orr had no hope of the defeat of Lincoln, but would counsel i no hasty action on the part of the State.? | South Carolina should not withdraw alone. He (11Hi'rod Irom others in the opinion that our Legislature should en|l tor a Conven* lion of tlie people as soon as it was ascertained that Lincoln was elected. He thought it would be wiser and more prudent that Commissioners should be appointed to go to and consult with the other Southern States and ascertain the course they intended to pursue under the circumstances, so that there might be a conceit of action. Col. Aslimore also thought Lincoln would be elected, and counselled that the Stale should put herself iuto a position of resistance. The Mani.nonot,'oh Affair.?The following extract from a letter written from llennellsvillu to the So alii Can,Union, shows tluit ditchings, lately on trial at that place na an abolitionist, lias been acquitted: "The auppospd abolitionist, J. K. I limbing* whom uo have bad up for examination and trial as nn abolitionist, ha i been released for wnnt of sufficient evidence to convict hint. The ; ublic mind is, however, not entirely satisfied.but that he should have been dealt with more harshly ; yet, as this was not very clear, ho has been allowed to depnrt the State, with proper cautions, should he be found here again.

When fire is necessary for the comfort of the southern tourist, it is time he should retrace his steps?the thermometer admonishes hun to return to his sunny home? such was the state of the weather when I left Saratoga ; winter clothing and tires were altogether pleasant, in fact, indispensable.

A primitive specimen stunding by. exclaimed, ' I guess he has sucked the Kemo all the time ! I thought he had guessed correctly. Upon leaving Saratoga J left behind some very lovely acquaintances and valued friends, njtii the j promise of meeting again in a few days in the'city.' (wnicn cjid occur.) However,! was not solitary and alone, neither a 'strnn | gcr' to aome who left at theaame time. My first stopping pojnt was the city of Troy, at the head of tide navigation on the Hudson. It contains a population of about 45.000?is a busy city with considerable manufacturing establishments ; a great quantity of railroad iron is prepared here ; also, any quantity of stavea ; many of the fine cars are made here. It is the scut of tne female seminary established near 40 years since by Mrs. Williard?rail roads run in every direction?the Depot is an immense building. I was bothered to tir.d the car. (there was so many coming and going) which would convoy nie to Albany, but I did got aboard the right one and was noon in Albany, which is the capitol of the State. It has a population of about sixty thouHund. Having been in Albany several tapes j did not 'circulate," except in accompanying the agreeable ;uid intelligent Mrs. 8., of Texas, to tho Stale House. Albany was first settled by the Hutch in about Itilt. The "wide awakes" were out drilling after tea, preparatory for a rousing demonstration which was to come off thp np.U night, in j which the Itlock Republican*; from the nor I rounding cities and towns wee lu bp pres. epL apt) participate. . ro;u ,*!wuuy i? toe pity or !\. y. pus* ] sengers have a choice of routes, either hy [ (lie llndson River, Rail Road, along the banks of the river, or by the Harlem road, j passing near the Mass-iehusetts and Con. | nrctieut line and probably through a small portion of those Slates, or then by the day or night steamboat*. I preferred the day boat, so as to enjoy the lovely picturesque and romantic scenery of the Hudson. The | scenery will alwsys be beautiful however often the trip is repented, it in of that character Uinl never will cloy the appetite or taste. It was the regular day for the Steamer Armenia, and the pusseirgers yt going to the river were congratulating themselves on the fine boat, we were to have, and the tine and delightful music we were to enjoy from her "Calliope." Hut what a disap poinltnenl ! She had broken her shaft the trip before and her place was supplied by one of the Smith family,not however John, but the "Isaac Smith." It was not so large, line or fast as the boat we expected, but it took us through a littie behind time. We had quite a crowd on hoard, among the passengers were Chancellor Donkin and lady and grandson C. K. linger, and my fair Tcxiuii friend and Iter lather, all of whom I had iiK'l ai Saratoga. I was therefore not u stranger and hud no occasion to "scrape up" other acquaintances. Rut on a bont is a convenient place to "scrape up" acquaintance*, passengers couiu in contact ho often that good talkers will be exchanging ideas and before they get through a pleasai t acquaintance is "scraped up." The navigation of the Hudson is closed by the ice from about the middle of December to the middle of March?then the communication on the river is hy the Hudson Kivcr Kail Road, which is about lice leet above the mean tide. At the West I'oint landing, (one of the stopping plaees,) I was stand ing on the stern of the boat with many others, looking at the passeiigera going oil' and getting on, a party of friends whom I had left at Saratoga ami did not expect to be uiong for sevcrai days, had changed their intentions and come down by rail road that morning, and had just taken their seats in the omnibus to go up to West l'oinl.hut soeiug our boat in sight were waiting to take in other passenger-; thev saw me, boxv ed and waved their handkerchiefs ; hut there I stood like a statute, not rernirnizinir or acknowledging I lie salutation. Upon being toiii ol il by tbv party in the city I protouted tiiat i did not know it wns them, that I had no right to ox poet tlioin (from their programme w hen we parted) at that time or place, and that I did not regard the salutation as intended tor me ; that they had the advantage, tor they knew I was to he on Hie boat that morning, and I thought they were to he in Saratoga mid not at West I'oint. Of course I asked pardon for such statute like incivility and if i believed it was not forgiven I would Miss M and Miss J. here repent it. Hut I know that forgiveness holds a large place in each of your lovely dispositions and that the abstraction. I will not say rudeness, has been pardoned. Don't you think so too Miss Betsey f The Hudson is a noble and majestic river, varying from 600 yards to live miles in width.

The first steamboat which navigated its waters was in or 18u7, w hen Robert Fulton ascended ii as far as Albany in the "Clermont." So incredulous wore his friends and the public, as to the propelling a vessel by steam, that after lie had succeeded in reaching Albany, they doubted it could not b done ugain, or that it could bo made practicable and pro titable Mow changed the scene, now Its waters arc covered with vessels drivi n by steam at the rate of and I /) miles per hour, doing a lucrative business lor their proprietors The scenery too is beautiful. It is said by 'ourists' to cam pare favorably with that of the Rhine. All along the river and on its hunks am to be seen extensive cities, flourishing towns, handsome vil I ages and magnificent residences. "Sunny Side," the late residence of Washington Irving, is near the water, it was enquired for w ith interest and looked at with eagerness by the passengers.
