"Fire and fall back/' seemed to be. the order of the day. We have no intimation as to how the voto stands, but suppose that Wbittemore received most of the votes taken. COIflOBRT. Mrs. Y. G.

Tba much esteemed family of which this lady waa? prised member wera refugeea during the war and cob tinned their residence in our midst. It ie our sad duty, also, to announoe the death af Mr. F?AKXIN SPANN, eon of oar old and valued citizen, WILLIS SPANN. He died, we learn, after a briet sod painful illness, of meningitis inflammation of the membranes of tho brain, and bpinal oord-a disoase of fearful fatality, for some time prevailing to a greater or less extent throughou this State. Upon our arrival home, too, on Sat? urday last, the sad news ot the sudden death of Mr. G. W. WEIN?

THE CROPS, DROUGHT. AC. During tho past week ample rains terminated the long drought that had prevailed, and tbe orop prospect now wears a more cheerful face. Corn is growing prettily. In the earlier planting of cotton the stands aro good, and the recent rains, it is hoped and believed, will bring up a considerable portion of the aced which was put into the ground later. It is worthy of remark here that the drought alluded to prevailed generally throughout the Southern country, and that the rains began first in the West and rapidly approached tho South, or making about the speed of a constantly traveling rail road car. It begun at Memphis, Tenn., on Monday afternoon, 23rd ult., and reached this point on thc afternoon of Wednesday following. Tbe orop, in the portions ot Tennes? see, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and South Carolina, through which wc passed, presented an encouraging pros? pect. The wheat crop would be ger,er ally good. A larger arena of cotton has been planted than was last year, and the stands in tho States mentioned above were generally good, and the work of ohopping or thinning hud generally begun. We observed that the prieo of lands had generally advanced. We were informed that lands in the Northern portion of Alabama, and in the beauti? ful valley of the Tennessee river, extending from the Mississippi State line to Huntsville, were now-worth, on an average, $25 per uer*?, and that in some localities they were one hundred per cent, higher than before the war.
