THE WATCHMAN WE DH ES DA V, J VU E 7. A. A, GILBERT.EDITOR The Sumter Watchman has ly far the largest circulation {espe? cially in the surrounding country) of any paper published in Sumter, and teas established in 1850. COTTON ADVANCED. Cotton at New York, on Monday last, stood at 19J. NEW ORLEANS Is LOW under water. Geo. A. Freeret, Vice President of the Union Bank, and Joseph Fersacd are di owned. The water, on Monday, was as n?ar np to Canal as Rampart Street. There is an unbroken sheet of water from Yillery Street to the Metaire bridge. Back of Clairborne on Canal Street there is an average depth of two feet of water. The suffcri.igs of the people are great. THE COTTON^ITCATION. At present writing, June 5, the staple is quoted at New York at lSJc-an ad vance ol fully three cents since tbe first impressions were received of the crop now in thc ground There can be no mistaking the fact thai the [resent crop, even though it meet favorable circumstances uutil it cotno to uiaiket, fail far short of that o? tho hst year lu this ?ato and Georgia, and where? ver else commercial fertilizers arc used, not one-fourth tbe applicatiou of these has been made, as compared with last year. Therefore, were the acreage equal, the product mutt fall short, for it is nowhere contended that these ferti? lizers do not largely increase the yield, whatever say bc said of their pro?table Dess generally. Bat f e acreage is from twelve to twenty per cent Ie?s. In ad? dition to this, the spring has boen j altogether unfavorable for cotton. Its early coming induced carly plantin which iu rurtoy places has reudcrcd two or three re-plantings necessary, (thc cold nights having killed out the young plant,) and still the "stands" are ' generally bad. Added to this has been eight successive days, during which thc sun has scarcely shined, and much rain bes fallen, with a prospect still of further wet. If we ! j'jk to the great cotton growing regions of Mississippi, Alabama, Ar? kansas and Louisiana, where thc bulk of our cotton is grown, thc prospect is still more inauspicious. The acreage at thc beginning of planting was from ten to fifteen per cent less than last year; but thc cold, ?vet spring, sms killed out the ? laut, and broad fields have been turned into corn entirely,"* whilst whore the cotton remains, thc prospect is ex ceedingly unpromising The New Yoik Financial CltroTticl*, published last week, a statement of acreage in cotton, as con pared with last year, made upon thc basis of advices received up to Friday last, and the estimate made by thc government. According to this, thc difference (less this year) is about one mil?ou of acres. If we c.?ti:nate a bale to two acres, and calculate upon as favorable a year gen? erally and au equal yield with last year, this alone would redace thc present crop 5i '.0)0 bales. But there is much casualty that may occur. J^a-st year was not only favorable, generally, be? yond an average of years, for the growth of the sta;.lo, but was unusually propi? tious* for eat hering the entire crop. The lateness of killing frost, too, (f ir into j November) gave a season of uousual length; and where the plant did rot perish, or take the ru-t, the product wa> in this way was also ii.creased. T:IK UKI;N JOIRML. IVe have received N'?. 2 of this new paper, published at Aiken, S. C , by Mr .I"iiN S. Sm CK, tl..- proprietor J.!.-O ol thc \>:.rt,:\v)i ./ .'?/ ,? ?!. Aiken ha- been ?

BOWEN FOOD iiiriLTY. The toct nd oa-c of bigamy against thc much-married Congressman was conclu? ded at Washington oa Saturday last. Tho jury w.s out. but twenty minutes, and returned a verdict ot euilty. Mrs. Pettigrew King, tbedispsiehes ?av, left thc Court with Lowen and was deeply affected.

A Nsw Mode of Pablicatioi Ir is said that Draco printed bia in fine small letters and* posted high, so that the people eould cdt s read them, aod thus they were violated, without intention. It has been reserved for our 3 Council to out Draco, Draco. They do not promulgate t?ir ( nances iu the papers published it town, but send them to Wilmingtc be printed, and thea circulate thei hand. The consequence is, that b< the citizen ean be panisbed for violation of any Town Ordinance, a al notier* of such Law must be pro No implied notice would result : the mode of promulgation adopted Council. We hope the matter wi reconsidered. _LEX TALIONIl POSITION OF THE DE.TiOCR: AC The Democratic Convention of P< sylvania, just adjourned, adopted put forth the following resolutions : Resolved, That we recognize the b ing obligation of all the provision the Constitution of the United State they now exist, and we deprecate discussion o? issues which have b settled in the manner and by the thority constitutionally appointed. Resolved, That the force and baye bills resent ly enacted by Congress gross attacks upon the reserved \'v? of thc States, destructive to the e mental principles ol civil liberty, tolerable to a free people, centraliz in tendency, and should bc forthw repealed. Resolved, That the language of Sei tor i arl Schurz in his St. Louis spe< wherein he says, "I consider it one the most pressing needs of our d; that we should return to the soc practice of constitutional governme The safe g .ards of our common rig' and liberties contained in the Con6tit tion arc too sacred and valuable a be ro be permanently jeopardized in pi viding for a passing emergency. It lime that the Ameiican people op their eyes to the dangerous character this tendency, and that neither a gr< name nor an object, appealing to o sympathies shonld he permitted to di guise it. As for me I have seen t working of irresponsible power a: personal government in other ctmntrh and I may assure roy constituents thi while I am a citizen of this republic, shall struggle to the last gasp against i introduction here," was but tho utte ance of well known rod frequently a nounced Democratic doctrine. THF. OHIO DEMOCRATIC COXYE! TION. COLL M BUS, June 2. George II. Pendleton is permanei President. 17 out ol 19 members of tl Resolution Committee, concurred in tr following, and General Morgan, Chai man of thc ( ommittce, moved the adoption : '?While denouncing tl means by which it was brought abou thc Democracy of Ohio recognize as a< comp 1 ?shed facts the recently adopte amendments to the Constitution aa consider them no longera practical usu before thc country, but insists that whil these three amendments enlarge th power of tho Federal Government thc shall not, in any way, alter or modify il original theory or character, and to n further estent abridge the reserve rights of tbs .States." As thus con strued the Democratic party pledges il seif to support the Constitution as i DOW is, securing equal rights to all with cut distinction of race, color or previ? ous condition. The resolutions denounce the Bayone and Ku Klux bills; oppose San Do mingo, condemn the extravagant lan? grants to corporations ; also Dations hanking system; in fivor of tariff strictb lor revenue; in favor of the eollectiot of internal revenue by State authorities object to payiog bond holders mort than contract price; declare if bone holders have right* so also have tai payes. A motion to amend Ly declar iug that tlie 14;h and 15th amendment* were revolutionary aud void, was lost by a vote ot 1?9 to L'Ob'. TENNESSEE DEMOCRACY. NASHVILLE, June 1.-The Demo? cratic State Executive Committee mot fo lay and adopted resolutions declaring their acceptance in good faith of thc ixsues ot the war, witb all the late amendments to the Constitution ; and their acquiescence in them ts thc eu j.re mc law A the land; and also declur ing their approval 'ol' the late Demo eratic Congressional address. At a meeting of the editors of the press of the State this afteraooB, thc action of the cotumiiue was ttuauimous ly endorsed. Kf'XTlCKT. The State Coavcntioa of D?mocrate, very recent ly in session, put forth a simi? lar p'at-forru, fully endorsing the Ohio (Vallandigbam) r?solu tiona. Kentucky has the heaviest D?mocratie majority^ of any Southern State and probably ia the strongest in the Union. ABKANSAS. Thc Democracy of ihis growing State sound thc same key note. The State Executive Committee recent!;- declared that "it would be unwise, impolitic abd certain of defeat to resurrect tba issues on which we were beaten io 1868," and that the party ia '?willing to let the questions arising out of the war rest where th ay are." llera and tbare a paper io tboae States, and a small minority, are aband iu opposition, and these the Radi? cal journals ara endeavoring to magnify into serious dieseotioe, bat there ia now oo doubt thai thia will ba the position of tho cat ional Coa venci?n, and that j there will be oe division, OD it. j MT Mn.

DOWLING, era of ?be lato John Dowling, a native of Queen's County, Ire? land/ bat f><r many years a citizen of Charleston, S. C., and Mrs. Joanna Bogia, now resident here. Death is ai all times a sad visitor, even when be eomes to harvest the yellow sheaves, and ripened fruit into the garner of lien ven. Bat he. is indeed a melancholy and mournful messenger, when be stalks forth to pluelc thc bursting buds, and opening flowers of early spring. The de? ceased 'stood upon tLV very threshold of life, in' the vestibule of nuobood,-bcovant with hope and joy, and love, looking forward doubtless, as all men dc, to a long career of happiness, but AimtgbryOed ha? appointed otherwise, andeeot bis Angel to lead bim down, with all bis yoath, with all bis strength, and with all bis promise, into the grave. Should we weep over his young bier, or lament his untimely fate ? By no means. The all wiso God doeth all things well. He may bare takea bim from eril days to come, or may have called him away, because be was now willing and re .dy to die, for be met his grim visitor with the fortitude and calmness of a hero. He knew and felt that his doom wns inevitable, that the shadows of death were gath? ering and darkening over bim. but he neither qo tiled or tremblea; bat fortified with thc Sacraments of the venerable Church of God, consoled and aided by the solemn and angas*, prayers, for a departingson!, wftb bis eyes rive' ed upon thc Sign of Rcdempti in and lips moving in prayer, bo met hi? end. with the peaceful ros ignation of a follower of the Divine and Blessed Jesus.
