We will re? spect the Republican Constitution, but the republic is the result of an epheme? ral compromise of Radicals and Orlean ists.

Somo portions of tho cotton area wero affected with drought, which, however, was less injurious to cotton than to other crops. Its injuries wero mostly com? pensated by the opportunity it afforded for the better working of other crops. In Texas, cut worms, cotton caterpillars and grass-hoppers were injurious in somo localities. A few isolated reports also montion cotton lice, but insect dep? redations so far havo not affected the crop to an extent worth mentioning. Raleioh, N. C, July 15.?The con? gress adjourned to-day, at 1 o'clock, after a harmonious and interesting session of three days. Tho only business of im? portance transacted to-day, hearing an address, by appointment of the last congress, from Col. J. L. Bridgers, of North Carolina, on the general subject of agriculture in the Southern States. There was compelled to bo a change of agriculture in the States; population and prosperity wero diminishing in quantity and quality. Loss on production from 1800 to 1870 had been enormous, while loss in area of cultivated land was over 7,000,000 acres; ho opposed the cutting up land into small farms, as tending to reduce all farming to the forty-acro-ond a mulo system; inert minerals in tho earth are sufficient to produce good crops by atmospheric action. This notion was to be found in composition; the South could save $100,000,000 in feeding horses on oats and clover, instead of corn and fodder. His speech was full of facts and practical suggestions and lis? tened to with great attention. Its publi? cation was ordered in all Southern agri? cultural journals. A resolution adopted, yesterday, asking Congress to make greenbacks a legal tender for all dues to tho Government and on all importations, was recognized and its further conside? ration postponed until next session of congress. A grand banquet last night to the congress was a success. Yesterdav'? Market ReDcrts. New Yonx?Noon.?Money 1@2. Gold 14 j. Exchange -long 4.87$; short 4.001.
