Terms $1,1)0 n veir in advance. The Darlington Southerner which recently suspended in consequence of the fire in l)ar? Itngton, bat! reappeared, apparently quite re? covered from its late misfortunes. The AVw F.ra has been merged into the Southerner.? The Southerner is one of our uiost valued < xchanges. The Crops. The cool nights of last week have had, as we understand a bad effect upon the crops, which were before unpromising. Had stands of Cotton, rust in the wheat, corn backwaid, are common repw ts in this vicinity. We are apprehensive that the prospect throughout the entire South is unusually unfavorable. The Southern Cultivator which has ample means of ^ iutormutiou, and wjiich, by the way, is a most excellent agricultural journal, speaks aa follows of the general prospect. Trie Crisps.?The probability is that the wheat crop throughout the Union will In; considerably less than a full one. It will heonoiderably diminished at the South by rus*, bea des the injury sustained by the severe winter ; at the North it suffered greatly in many sections from the latter cause. Corn though backward looks well. Winter Oats were badly killed out last winter, and arc a very short crop In this acctiou. Cotton, we hear bad accounts of fro n every quarter, /tail seed, planted ill wet weather, hurried ami indifferent preparations, hailstorms and treating rains make the prospects of the growing crop very gloomy. The Northern papers are filled with reports of the great financial ruin and di-a*ter across the water, and with speculations as to its proliable effect upon this country. Tire cause of the panic is attributed to the increased danger of a ge.ieral Kuropeun war. Advices to the 18th ult., state that war is esteemed to be imminent and military preparations were continued. D'Armstadt had been placet! on a war footing. A report prevailed thalthe Prussian am 1 assador had declared he should leave imm? liatelv for homo in consequence of Austria occupying the frontiers of Bohemia and Silesia Prussia had declined the aettleineuLJJropo.ied l>7 Austria of a reference to tne DaaHk. Tlie Richmond Times says it is i<Wf to sup* pose that this crash in England wilWlot be se riously felt in a country where the currency is in as inflated condition as it is in the United States. We are cursed with a ledundant and wholly irredeemable paper currency, and the little gold which we have is pouring out ot the I country at a fearful rate. About ten millions J in gold left Boston and .Vew York for England ' and Europe during the last fortnight. "Five I twenties" and other American securities are flocking back upon us like birds seeking refuge i from the tempest. in the midst of that fearful Carnival of Re- 1 Tolution, Jacobinism and anarchy at Washing) ton. the black, me< acii.g clouds of financial bankruptcy and disaster and ruin are covering i the horizon. The indications are, we think, unmistakable that the tornado will aoon be upon the godless speculators, stock gamblers and shoddy millionaires of Wall street, uproot' | lug and dashing thcin to the earth like dead and rotten trees. The New York Sun asserts that the signs of the coming financial storm in this country are 1 steadily growing more ominous. The comparative du lness of business, the downward tern ' denry of prices, the increasing number of failures, and the uneasiness manifested in neaily every depaitnient of trade, are sure harbingei* of a general financial crash. Every shrewd Ob server has been convinced, for a long time, that monetary ciiais i* inevitable, ami that its com* tag ia only a qneation of time. The financial ntinoaphore h.ig ^ccn cloacl) wutciied The gatheiing ?f the cloud* baa been seen, and now, hi the failure* that are beginning to appear, we have the fitful gu?U that betoken the near Approach of tho hurricane. | It id some convolution to feci that uv of the South cannot be greatly damaged by thia financial tornado. Our cordition, pecuniarily, ia already so flat that the tumble of stocks and crash of banks, so appalling to our Northern I neighbors, will have a comparatively harmleas ! e fleet upon ua. XT 1 /-> ' t i>oriiiern oppression oi the Negroes Some days since il was teh graphed (? e believe from Charleston of Sa vannali,) j nil over Ilih North that Generals Stead* j man and Fullerion hud discovered thai j tlie Southern iilaniers Were cheating and J oppressing llie negroes Iry selling them Corn at about three time-* its value, and thus swindling them out of their wages.? We knew it was a lie at the time. The New York Herald's correspondent, who accompanied Generals Stee l man and Fullerion on their tour writing from 1**01 Royal, South Carolina, thus tells the true Rtorr, illustrating Northern oppression : We met with a marked case of this i kind on Wudmalaw Island. Driving over a plantation we halted at a stoie round which a group ol forty or fifty squalid negroes were gatheied. receiving their day's wages. There were no contracts on j Litis farm.. The hattds were engaged | from day to day at fifty cents a "task " ! The storekeeper was paving tliein when we came up,, and was giving them not j Uionev, but tickets for provisions. He j explained that he often had no monev j wherewith to pay litem, so he gav- them I their earnings in goods. We it quired ! thp nripM ut !.? 11 J ... .. U .v I* tuo niui C3 nfro NtllU I We found that corn, which sella in the Charle^'on market at a do.lar and thirty cents a bt/shel, and is worth in Wadinalnw Island, with transportation added, certainly less than a dollar and fifty cents, was heing deah-d out to them at three dollars a hushel. Twenty five cents was charged lor a package containing twenty two biscuits, such as might he hough! in J New York thrse fin a cent, and everything else was in iike ptoporlion. Should there he anything sttil due te the negroes, afier they had purchased tho necessary meal and bacon, there were heads and cheap jewe'ry?sure to attract the negro's eve?displayed in the store to absorb the bdance of his earnings. Thus, while they were apparently raid fair wages for their work, more than naif their earnings were every day taken back from thein in the shape of profit on the goods in which they were paid in lieu ot money. G??n. ?b-1 -.1?1 ? > - vvvm'iiiu nonvi mm lOlflCU HIT tion lie was told Mr. Underwood, of Hoaton. This Mr. Underwood does not reside on the plantation. It is managed hv liis storekeeper (also a Northerner,) with the assistance of a resident, to whom five hundted dollars a year is paid for his advice. The poor creatures employed on the farm gathered round (}*n Steed in an in a hotly and bitterly complained that heir day's work barely sufficed to provide for litem more than their day's provisions. It was evident that as things are going on when winter comes they will he left pen niiess and starving. On Edisto Inland wa came across a sitndar case, ih which another Northerner was involved. Some negroes commenced the cultivation of an unoccupied planta tion. In March last up came a New V ork Dutchman and told them he had leased the farm, and they most contract with him. Thev replied, reasonably enough, that if he desired to contract with them he ought to hare done so in J anttary. before they had commenced to lay down their crops. The man went away and tt e Ireedmen reauined their work, and toiled earlv and lata for their own benefit, ft* thfty HOppowd.
