The 4tlr quarterly-meeting ol the Lancaster ! and Hanging Rock Circuits, will be held at this place on the 4th Saturday mid Sunday in Sep1 tcmber. Wo have recently been obliged to decline several communications sent to us for publication. Some ol these were elicited ly a burlesque article upon a Into public meeting at Fleasant Hill, 'o which exceptions were taken I by sonic of lite gentlemen composing the meeting. We arc quite wil ing to publish any temperate replv to "Shortcake." bet ?m tr;n? r.t n contrary kind is tigi IIv excluded by our rules. We think too much importance been r-ttached to the urlic'e, n:i?l that regarded in its proper light, it will lie con.-iderod no 11 ore than an allowable criticism upon a public meeting, an 1 as contahiing nothing personally offensive to any <>f its members. It was so understood by us. We would publ sh nothing which we conceived to he personally offensive to the individuals comp-Vng the meeting, many of whom, to say nothing of other reasons, are our tvann personal friends. .Although we Condemned their policy ami views, we have never rpios. tinned their motives, and doubt not, that in advocating certain measures, they were actuated solely l?y a desir e to promote the public web lare. And when convince! that these measures are lutile, as we believe they ultimately will be, that tliey will accept the necessity and and conform thereto na readily as others who have been Ics sanguine of "relief' by the means propose I. The Fall Flections. The Richmond Time.? says heaven and earth are hcing moved by tire Radicals to achieve success in the coming elections.

The New Yotk Tiiounmost venomous, maiicio's and villainous of all tirn Radical shoots, is advertising its campaign | .apers not ; onlv in its own columns, tint i.i those of i's nd> vetsuries. We g<t;>po-e Raymond, nftor his paternity of tin* declaration of principles and the address issued hv the Philadelphia Convett lion, may he considered as finally united to tin1 National Union party; hut ho has permitted <Jrecly to reach the readers ot the Now York through the mediam ot an advertisement in his columns, which is the whole of the Had* [ leal argument in a nnt'stiHI. . But, while we need not imitate the unsertipu lous tactics ot our opponents, we may yet learn nn instructive lesson from tlieir examples of j ( activity and sjeeplesw vigilance. II tlieir tin- I ( righteous and unholy cause he worth such pi- I pnntic efforts for success what must he said of [ ours? Is not the great cause of freedom Mil justice in which we arc cmhutkcd woith all the efforts which its champions, learning wisiioni from their enemies, can exert from the earliest to the latest hours of the contest. Truly, we e'npuld think so. In the South, of enurse, we shall have no contest. lint at the North there will he a terrihlc struggle, ami wc urge our friends to hurkle to it, neither asking nor giv. ing quarter. Cotton Crops in the West. Accounts from Augusta, Ga, sav that the prospects of the cotton crop in nil parte of tho Slate arc gloomy, on no. count of tho continued drought. In South' western Georgia, where the yield was formerly one hale ff> two act est, not more than one hale to ten acres will ho realized from the presi ent crtrp. This is equally true of the other sections; The accounts from Florida represent the late drought, followed fry heavy rains, as having seriously injured the cotton crop. One Iralf of what is known as the middle crop wiil-j he lost. The cotton prospects of Mi-aissippi and Alabrma are alro represented as gloomy, on account ?f the drought and ravage of the boll worm. The Baton Rouge A<lvornte, of the 3'?lh anys : "As far as wc learn there arc few plantations that are not more or less infested Ijy the destructive "army worm." The prospect , of saving tho late planted cotton is dim, nr.d j the old cotton cannot escape without injurf.? I From a letter from Rapides we learn that the worm is making its appenrance on Red River, OurTcndcra will understand the basis of the appreh#ti?i?>ns of the planting community, I y recollecting that for cver> worm that makes i's j appearance in tire middle of Auaru-:t a m triad I n:.ay reasonably he expected in tlie a.?me fiel<i tilree week* Inter.
