See notice in to dat's paper. The Drought rum prevails in mis section, l-or n perioil of tight weeks we have had no ruin of any coin sequence, in this immediate vicinity. We doubt whether such a drought, either in point of <lu ration, or in its fatal effects, lias ever before a'llicted this country, witliin the recollection of j flic o.dcst citizens. It is said to ho longer and far more disastrous thuti the great drought in lb 16, A Case of Conscience. We published last week, from a Kicltinond | paper sevnal reported inrtunces of propetty | stolen by Sherman's attny being returned to I the rightful owners. Since then, we have scon a letter from a Federal Oflicer in Ciinrlotte to a geiitlemnti of this District, concerning a box of I treasure taken by a soldier in Sherman's army stol concealed during tlieii postage through this District. The oflicer claims to have a memorandu n of its wliereubouts and contents, which lit will supply on prool of ownership. The I soldier who concealed the box gave the inlon mat ion to n comrade under fan onition of np- ! proacking death, lie was soourofterwards k 11 eil. We regret that we did not p'ocurc a copy ol the letter lor publication, as it might aa-i.-t in the restoration of the proportjr to the right' ful owner. Since writing theabove we lntve received the | following note in reference to inosuinc mutter, , which explains itself: Messrs.

We have had no opportunity of scei g the disastrous effects of the drought upon the cri ps until a few diys a-.'?, w hen a trip Month as far ns Hanging Itork showed us tliat the reports of parched and ruined crops have in no degree been exnggerated. Foi eight or nine utiles Mouth of Uiis place we have noversecn the prospect for a pioviniun crop so utterly hopeless us it is The cot ton is not much better. The drought is no doubt the train cause of the failure, but tlit* want of work and nroner rn'tura hn??li;i<l something to do with it. In the neighbor | hood ol Salem Church the prospect is much belter. In that section hi d lower down on I Hanging Rock Creek, the people have been blessed with showers not enjoyed by other Pentium* Their crops present something ! like a living appearance end nro comp.iru- ! lively free of grass and weeds. Our friend : Capt. Ingram, with whom we sojourned for J a couple ot days, has the prospect of alinift an average crop, both of corn and cotton This is to be attributed, no doubt, as much te iiis greatenergy and skill as to fortunato showers and the good quality of nU fanning lands. From all that w# have learned, we fear. I that at least three fourths of the District : will fail to make nn adequate provision { crop, arid that a great many wit! inaku nl | most nothing. The future, as respects subsistence for unotlitr year, is any tiling else than inviting; but it will never do lor the people to despond.

Due of the Resolutions passed at that meeting is couched in the following language : AVso/rea, Vd That in the pioscm emergency le-nit.ng lioai the action ot til. t'onrt ol Kirois, in d 'elaiing t-e Stay I.aiv Amco istitulional. it is the sense of this meeting that ??ur Kcprcsentn- , u? -mi... 111 i ii 1*11* i->iii<imii*tii3 w iixiiii'i'or not \ they luvi.r relief to deblote ? and if so, how ? I lie 'aiding the inquiry made in this ctesolu , lion, us addressed in part to nn sel', the high respect I enteitrtin for those of the citizens . whose mimes appear in the published proevcd- j bigs, indicating their pHrticipution therein, cm- , strains on my put ? compliance with their ex , pressed wishes, to know my views in relation I to the subject matt' r ot tlie Kesolution, liowev- | er much *.hey may differ from those ot a in a j jotity til the meeting. At first glaticti it sit nek toe that there would j he no difficulty, whatever, in nnsweiing the i fiifct port of the inquiry. 1 lilt tendy loan swer unhesitatingly, not only that I favored relict to debtors, hut was prepaid to proceed even a step beyond the scope ol the iuquiiy and say that, in vjew nl the present distii-smi l ulid itnpovetish d cniidiliOn ot the country, I w uld gladly embrace any piaelieal tiieMmd that could be devised, consistently with law, honesty Htid tuir dealing, lor the rcliel nl both debtor and c mi tor Itul a more elo e und ; ciit'Cal attalvs is of the nutmr nl inn, il"? ?> * ol the iuquiiy. induce* me to pause helot o yielding to tin1 impulse which might otlni wise huuy me into loo 8wcepng an answer in tlie allii Illative. WI at noil of relief i? men it in the resolution? If the meaning he that the dentin is to he relieved fioui Ins ohlig itio!i to pay hiti vieditor tvhui lie justly o?t'i; it the relu-f meant look in any degree to the tcptidtulion of honest jchts, then a decent icjratd lor coiiinion moral Ity ; then, It ptoper leverence foi the laws of Uod und of the country, leaving out ol v.ew altogether the rights ol the end.to , itiipcri ously demand an answer in the u .'gutive. The sanctity of cotitinets cannot be too highly np predated. Such is the respect to which tn-y nte entitled that they have ever been held by the most enlightened nations as ot such great consequence, that no subject hus ever engaged more time, talent, wisdom and latum, than have been employed in training tulesttud regulations I for their due ohst rvatt card enforcement. S> sacred were they n guided by out lorefsthers, that those grand old Statesmen, who framed that noble instrument the Constitution of the United States as it was befoe wa ked hands ; were laid upon it, iuenipo uted amongst it* i providoin, an Article to prevent any State from I impairing tin ir obligation. A put liom the I insuperable obstacle piesented in th's pio*i-ion j of the Constitution against any invasion ol the sanctity i 1 coi.ti acts, the Legislature i ould not, j without setting a-ide the highest consider*!ions : of public policy ; could not without a gross j ami lialmible vinlatuni ol the nt.iiii riirhls >.l > very laige rl??8 o' our citizen!* ; could not in- i deed without trampling upon the word of God i itsell pa'*.* any law relieving the debtor fiom ; Ilia Obligations to pay lii? just drbts. "Render | unto t'lezar tint tilings that are Ciezar's, and J unto God lint thing* that are God's," was the j subline precept of - *r Sa'iour himself while | upon emth. Could any command requiring the absei v nice of our contractu have hem rendered in plainer or more forcible language * Iloca it not place the obligation to give our fel? j low titan wh.it is his duo upon the same fooling i with our obligation to God himself * Rut it is uiged by some that those are times ' of unexampled public calamity and distress ; , that if lite payment of debts me enforced, many of our wca thtest ntid most worthy citizens, without uny fault of their own, will be reduced t<? poverty ami destitution. This I gr? ally (ear is Irua, but deplorable as the truth inuy be, I think no courliil or unpri-judiued inind ran ?es in it any justification or even any extenuation 1 of the wrong vhich would be done to the creditor, l>y robbing him of hi* due and bestowing it upon the debtor, to relieve the tatter In tiiat extent, from the effect* el a calamity common to both, our moral souse would be shocked beyond expression by a pioposal t?? enact a Liiv in view ot the gieat tni-fo.tune that haa overtaken tin* creditor, to Compel the debtor to pay him double the amount due : and yet cool and unimpft?sioiivd mind can detect no real difference between such a pi opns.il and Dne which would require the creditor tosurieii;|er jo 1 is debtor ll>e amount ol hi* debt. In the one instance you demand ol the debtor to no render to lit* creditor that which justly d ic* tot I clong t ? liiin, and in the other, you make the same iniquitous demand of the creditor.? Jould the Legislature, therefore, pass any law which would deprive a creditor o. any poition if his just demuids, it could do that, which in IIIigkma>man, would be regard *d an a crime worthy of punishment by des'li on the gallons. It would be nothing more nor less than legalted rolibery. But if the moaning of the inquiry be, > Joubtloaj, ooaeidering the geutlemoa who per- t licipated in the meeting, it was intonded, to ucoituin whether their Representatives lavor relief to the debtor unaccompanied with injury or injustice to the creditor, then every pr inciple ot philanthropy, and every patriots ita- I pulse call alike lot an answer in the niririnativa. But then follows the curt and startling Iniale : "uuil iT so, how ?" Occupying the position I do, 1 recognize lull* the t'glit u( the people of 1 the District to have n frank ami candid express- l Ion of opinion from me in answer 10 this qttcs- | lion. Tuie it is, my opinion may be wuith lib j tie or nothing when given, hut 1 will at least ! have discharged ni_, duty when I have given it truly und hoiie-tly. 1 believe llmt the Legislature now can afford 1 noieliif to the debtor. The Stay-Law which I the Court of Kriois has decider! to lie void, j ' because such u law iuipuiis the obligation of i ( coil tracts, was in my Opinion a method the les"t | offensive to the lights ol the creditor that could i bavo been resoited io lor the relict ol the debi j ' tor. That having failed, 1 behove th.it it will he in vain to look lor any legislative iciuetly ! that will -uivive the constitutional test. 1 have lieaid ol sovetul schemes that hsve been broached, having in view legislative in. toiTerenco and sume ol them, ,1 regiettosay, veiling under a very thin nnd tliinsey disguise the doctiine of repudiation.
