Lancaster.?The wheat crop is exjeedingly unpromising; dry weather ind other causes have combined to make it so, and unless the seasons are favorable from this to harvest lime, a lialf crop can scarcely be expected. In no event can an average crop be made. The oat crop is also unpromising, but there is vet timo enough in which it may greatlv improve. The corn is up generally, looks well, and there seems to be good stands. -Cotton is beginning to come up. Guano lias been pretty extensively applied in 'this seclion, and an increased yield of cotton uiav be reasonably expected. Teacbes and other fruit promise to be nbundant.

WILLIAM P. PRICE, EDITOJt. Our Motto?" Xqusl Bights to All.'* UREKKVJLLE. S a Thursday Morning, Kay 10, 1860. A New Volume Commenced. Our readers will perceive that the present number U the t>eginning of the seventh volume of the Enterpriae. They esnnot help perceiving. also, that the peper iseomewhat enlarged, and we think somewhat improved in appearance. The proprietors are now presenting their patrons with as much read ing matter as the largest of the country newspapers, aad will endeavor to merit a continuance of that kind patronage which they have heretofore received. The type in which oar reading matter formerly appeared being small, was found to be objectionable to many of our aged as well as young readers, and on this account we have .caused larger type to be used, and by enlarging the paper, both in length and width, we are enabled to present more reading matter than we formerly gave. This improvement has involved an outlay, which, wc have no doubt, will be readily responded to by the patrons of the paper. We have no promises to make for the future. In conducting the columns of the Eh. terpriae, we shall be governed solely by what we think is right. To please oursclf 'first, and our readers next, shall be the governing principles with us. In doing so, our sincere hope is that we will never transcend any of those duties which bcloug-to the fia- | ternitv. When we can look nt the political aspects of the country, we see much that is caicu- ] la ted to engender the heart with apprehension of danger. It requires no forcsicht to discover in the Approaching storm the greatest evils to our common country. We cannot foretell the result, and do not propose remedies. With a united North against us, we can only counsel harmony among ourselves. Divide us now, and we are lost. If ever we needed unity of heart and unity of feeling, it is now, and we look upon it as treason to the South to act in any other manner than that most, calculated to secure harmony of action on the part of the South. The Southern and Northern Democracy are no longer one, and we can see no chance, even if it were desirable, for the two wing'* of the once great and powerful Democratic party to again unite. To promote the harmony, then, of our own people, shall be our first object To this eud vw ."a " use every c.Tort iu our power.

Tiie political aspirations of Douglas have met a just and merited doom.

Unable now to carry any of the southern Mtates and scorned l.y the very party which he lias Indirectly worked for in tlie North, his chances for the Presidency appear exceedingly slight. We wait with much anxiety the result of the Richmond Convention. Pine Mattresses. We do but a simple act of justice in calling attention to the advertisement of Mr. Lanoston, in to-days paper.

We are indebted to Senator HaMMOTTO for a copy of Senator Cnksmot's speech, delivered in the Senate on the 9th April I860, on the resolutions submitted by lion. Jarraasom Davis, of Miaa I l' ..i . i * I BAR BR' t>M Bla* WBln Railroad and Um H* waa?as OunnaoBlaaL We glr? In tn-day's paper an Interesting letter from Dr. Ymks, of Union county, Georgia, npon Ike anbjeet of Um Bine Ridg#'" Railroad. We had the pleasure of forming the acquaintance of the Doctoe lut winter, , in Columbia. He ie an ardent friend of railroads, and what he aaja^n relation to the Uiwaaaee route may be relied upon, being acquainted with the eouRtry and the people along the whole route. Our people are beginning to aee the importance of this route. Nearly all with whom we have convened admit the propriety of building the Road aa far aa the Htate line, or to Clayton. If this be done?and we have every reason to believe that the next Legislature will grant sufficient aid to APAAmnlUK tKia on<] ?lto vumnla of flooanU will build the ltoad from that point. Thia route, aa we have heretofore informed our . readers, will penetrate the copper regions ol Tennessee, and will, as soon a* completed to Duoktown, become one of the most profitable roads in the South. Being fully one hundred miles nearer to Charleston by the Blue ltidge than it is to Savannah, over the Georgia roads, the immense productions of that sectiou will find their way Into South Carolina. Thia route will also lessen the distance to be traveled to reach the Western States from South Carolina, and the States north of us by at least two hundred miles. It would thus become at once the great thoroughfare for travel and the carriage of the mail from the Eastern and Northern States to the West. These advantages are not to be overlooked or disregarded, and we do not believe that the Legislature will longer refuse to aid the building of an enterprise which must prove of incalculable benefit and importance to us and the country at large. Firemen's Tournament in Columbia?One fare only on Railroad. The firemen of the city of Columbia, will have a grand display in that place on the loth and 17th ol this month. A number of companies hare accepted invitations to be present, and a pleasant time is antici|>ated. ( Reside the usual exercises of such occasions, ( there will be a barbecue, and at night, a , torchlight procession and an exhibition of fireworks. Wo have been requested by Mr. | Kaworth, Superintendent, of the Greenville | and Columbia Railroad, to state to our readers, that one fare only will be charged on that road, going and returning to Columbia?tickets to be good until Saturday, 19th May. We respectfully suggest, that a delegation of firemen be sent from Greenville. The visit might be productive of good. We do not propose that our little engine be taken down to Columbia to compete with the many beautiful engines which will be present on the occasion, but it might inspire those who attend with renewed interest in behalf of the Greenville company . A nobler set of firemen cannot be found in the State, but they are sadly in need of a good engine, and we hope, that it will not be a great while, before they have a " machine " which will be worthy of the third town in the Stale. roa the soi'thkbn enterprise.

Editor h'ntrrprite?Sir : I will now give yon a general view of the resources of*this State, which will end my correspondence, ao fur as the view anil resources of the country is concerned. There are worse countries than Arkansas, and vast numbers go to the d?1 seeking for better, under a mistake of its value. The climate is good. In winter, in North Arkansas, some folks say it's too cold?iu summer too hot; and as they can't get any farther, north or south, without, being on extremes, the conclusion is that it is just, right, l'eihaps there is not a section of country in the United States that, contains the same advantages?where the westward )>ound can get as good homes for so little money. There is a diver?ity of soil, suiting the diversified notions of those seeking it. Some parts are very broken, but abound in fertile and picturesque vales, bold springs of lim pid water, and scenery that will never cease to swell the bosom of herdsmen, in admiration of nature's beauty. Many's the lad from the " Narf Cnliiia," who has shaken the Inst copper out of his pocket, and the red off of his imois with Texas chills, might have feasted and had an abundance, with his accustomed sassafras ten and persimmons, in our west country. This country is Miuea 10 ma wants or any roan who wants to be happy, and " the best poor man's country this side the comet" No jails for debtors, and no man pays until he gets ready. Arkansas has considerable mineral resources, which are principally coal,iron, lead, sine, manganese, gypsum, salt, cannel, anthracite, and bituminous coal are ail found in this State. Gold is said to have been discovered in White County. Near the Hot Springs is a celebrated quarry of oil atone, superior to anything of the kind known, and inexhaustible. # There is said to be enough manganese in Arkansas to supply the world; more sine than any other State, except New Jeisey; and more gypsum than sll the other States, besides being equal in marbls and salt. The lead ore la rich in silver. This State has an aggregate I K . - I t en r nit of over 1,000 miles of wvigtbk water within h?r limits notiqclWlng any of the Mississippi bounding ?'thp east Tbo Ma pleprodosU of Arkaspaa IN ?ore, oottoa, and live stock, with large queetitles of wheat, oat?, tobacco, wool, peaa, beans, wect and Irioli potato??, fruit?, garden vegetable?, butter, bay, rice, beeswax, and honey, rye, barley, buckwheat, wlne,cha?ee, graa? seeds, hop?, hemp, flax, silk, and maple sugar. The lumber trade of thie State i? considerable; vast quantities of It go down the Mississippi river to New Orleans every year. After her projected railroads have bean completed, with her navigable river? and her resources developed, she will, indeed, be a great State, which thing is approximating very fast. Yours, Ac., ARKANSAS. ( FOR TUX SOUTUKBX XXTIUU'RUK. Blue Ridgo Railroad. Bi.airsvillk, Georgia, ) Anril 2Ath ISflf) f Dear Sir?I am pleased to see bv an extract from your paper in the Walhalla Banner,that yon have taken strong ground in favor of the Blue Ridge Railroad and the Hiwassee connection. We have been looking.with groat interest to the action of the Tennessee Legislature in extending aid by the State to the road from Cleaveland to Ducktown. (a distance of forty miles.) A bill giving ten thousand dollars per mile pass ed the Senate, but was defeated by five votes in the House. I have not a doubt but that it will ultimately pass. The State of Tennessee will not ait quietly still, and. for want of an effort, see her mineral interest in the Ducktown regiou fostered and protected by other States; her State pride forbids such a course.? Yet there may?and indeed there seems to be a prospect of such an occurrence, for groat efforts are being made to rais? funds to build the Ellijav Road, the charter of which calls for some point on the Georgia State Road, between Mariet ta in Cobb county and Calhoun in Gordon county to extend by Ellijay in Gilmer county, and the Tennessee line, si, or near the Ducktown copper mines. Hint lias already been surveyed, and proved entirely practicable; yet they lack the funds?and should the next Georgia Legislature pass a general State [lid bill, and South Carolina fail to ex Lend the Blue Ridge to Clayton. Ga., I liave no doubt but that the road will be liuill, but a certain prospect of the ex ension of the Blue Ridge Road to Clayon, will forever deter capitalists from aking hold of the Ellijay Road. Rut let .be Blue Ridge be abandoned, and Ten lessee fail to secure to herself and cit; tens the rich boon of her mineral wealth it Ducktown, then Ducktown capitalists, in self defence, will be compelled to take the Ellijay Road rather than none.? For one thing is certain, the mineral interests at Ducktown are compelled to have railroad facilities, or cease opera tions. They must have coal for smelt ing, inferior oars and cheap transportation of their products to market, and the many millions of dollars vested at Duck town, will certainly force a railroad to some point, and that too, at no distant jieriod. There is one other road that conies in for a share of attention by the Ducktown capitalists?I mean the North Carolina Central. You are aware that that road is being extended rapidly west wind, and all the west portion of the Old North State demands its exten sion to their wtstern limits, which brings them within a few miles (say from two to six) of Ducktown. A corps of engineers are now engaged on a critical survey of the contemplated extensim west ward, authorised by their last Legislature, and find the route entirely favorable. I am not sufficiently posted as to distances on the North Carolina extension, to make a comparison between that road and the Blue Ridge. But it does seem to me, that it is vastly to the interest of South Carolina, to push forward her western extension in advance of all these roads. That Ducktown will force her way to Cleaveland, certain, by estate mil or her own exertions?together with citizens on the line?or with the North Carolina extension, I have not a doubt. In that event. South Carolina, extending to Claytion, will leavo a gap of less than seventy miles between Docktown and Clayton to be filled to form one of the greatest thoroughfares in the Southern States; a road that would pat from the start, no time Ireing required to concentrate trade and travel. I see nothing to prevent its paying in a few years, equal to the Georgia State lioad. You have my best wishes, and may success crown your efforts. I will Ihj pleased to hear from you at any time. I look back with pleasure to the many pleasant acquaintances formed last win ter at your beautilui Capital?yourself amongst the number. Yours, Truly, ANDREW YOUNG.

Tbe Convention ia under the control of th? Northern States, which seem determined to rule the nominations or to have none. The Southern Statis, which act with them, appear to be not only verv patient, but cheerful, under their domination. The inequality of power whereby Northern States, that were hopelessly anti Democratic, would rule the Southern States, which were reliably Democratic?the antagonism of interest* and of principles? rendered the whot?
