In this District it has made its mark on several farms, but, as we are told, principally upon the grass and under blades of corn. We have heard of no serious danifure donr> nc vi.f o ~ "" Prospect of Crops. From accounts heard and seen from various sections of tlie country, we fear the prospect for good crops is not very encouraging generally. In many portions of tiie country the drought has been severe, as in our immediate vicinity, and at a time when most injurious. In some parts, we are happy to hear of line prospects, and upon the whole, hope there may yet be enough made to secure us against famine. Tho Wine Question. On our first page may bo seen another article from I>r. Togno on this subji-ct. We have on hand an article 011 tho same subject, from the great ''Nameless," which we are compelled to lay over till tx-xl week. These two articles we suppo><* will close the debate. So far as ihe lan?*r writer is concerned, wo are authorize*! in saving 1;<* wil! pursue, the subject no further; ami with all due deference, we hope it may cease for the present on Ixdh sides. The Congressional Election. Complete returns of t!i<_* recent election ?how thai Col. TJroolw received in the Congressional District 7,922 votes. The several Districts voted as follows : Laurens 1 ",7,74^ Abbeville 1,616; Newberry 1,301 ; iKdgefield 2161 ; Lexington 983. The .vote, considering the shortness of the no-j itice given, the extreme hot weather, and the fact thatihere was no opposition, we consider a very large one indeed. In Edgefield and Abbeville the amount of money contributed to pay the. fine was $015 00?nearly twice the amount necessary. Abbeville, as we have bcfnrn gave $131 11, tlms showing llie amount to the credit of Edgefield to he $4S3 89. There arc no accounts of contributions from the other Districts. Brooks took his seat in 1 he IIi>us?- on Friday last, the Governor having, as we expectcd he would do, sent on his ruin mission in advance. The vote for Mr. Keitt, in his District, is ouiu 10 nave been quite full, also. The Presidential Election. The Presidential canvass, in other States, is waxing warm. In South Carolina, there being in fact but one party, there is neither possibility nor necessity for any ll-_ W tiling ukc excitement. Willi (lie exception of the corporal's guard of per se disunionists who would rejoice at the success of the Black Republicans in the hope that thereby the dissolution of the Union would be hastened, the people of this State go heartily for Buchanan. And why should they not? The platform of principles laid down at / <!--! . ^nicmnau recognizes the constitutional .rights of the South iu the most positive Aerms. Mr. Buchanan has emphatically ; and unqualifiedly endorsed that platform, .and pledged himself to the maintainanco of its principles. '.Ye are told by eminent Southern men, such as Southern people liave long trusted and honored, and whoso opportunities are ample for ascertaining the | iruiu, mm ins past career aa a public man ?his speeches, writings and votes?gives earnest of a faithful fulfilment of his pledges, His friends in various sections of the South have boldly asserted that he never \ gave a vote or made a speech againtt the South, and his enemies have been challenged to disprove the assertion, Mr, Calhoun himself said that upon the question of slavery Mr. Buchanan had always indicated correct sentiments. In a word, be is a ou ltd, rel i ablrf, - a nd able statesman, and will pofc* as good a President a?4?as everoccu J ? ' pied that high position since the days o , the beloved Washington. We speak do , liberately. It he is elected, let time decith i whether we speak truly or falsely. Having very promptly and wisely deter mined to vole for the ]>emncrnli<: nominees i South Carolina has nothing more to do ii the canvass than to look with becoming so lie.itude to the indications in other State? i And theso, we Halter ourselves, arc trub j encouraging, llin linnan and Iireckenridg* will carry every Southern State.

Yon solicit my answer to the following interrogatories : First. Do you believe that petitions to Congress on the subject of slavery or the slave trade ought to be received, read and respectfully considered by the Representatives of the prople? Second. Arc you opposed to the annex ijition of Texas to the Union, under any circumstances, so long as slaves are held jtherein ? Third. Are you in favor of Congress exerting all the constitutional power it possesses to abolish the internal slave trade between the States? Fourth. Are you in favor of immediate legislation for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia ? I am much engaged, and have no time to enter into an argument, ot- to explain at length my reasons for my opinions. I shall therefore conlcnt myself for the present, by answering all your interrogatories in the affirmative, and leave for boiiio future occasion a inoro extended discussion of the subject. 1 an), rennw.tfiillw ?* * r -vv..?nj juu uucnivitir scrvam, MILLARD FILMOItE.

Critical State of our Hklations * with Spain.?"Ion," the Washington cor- . respondent of the Baltimore Sun, 6tates that 1 our relntiona with Spain have become in- c teresting, if not quite critical, as appears 1 from late dispatches received from Mr. 1 Dodge. The Cortez are said to have oen- ? sured the Government for having allowed r and paid any claim on account of the Black Warrior affair, nnd, in consequence of that, 1 the Government has refused our demand for 1 the adjustment of other claims pending. F We have never had. any expectation of re- '' ceiving indemnity from Spain, on account of the Black Warrior or any other claims. e The Spanish Government is bankrupt, and c were it not so, the so-called liberal party which rule the Cortez are not disposed to ? recognize any concession made by the Goveintpcnl to the justice of foreign claims. * [From tliu ClinrleBton Courier.] I I Washington Correspondence. j eci Washington, Aug. 1.?The wcntlicrcon-, dy, tinucs inteiisc ly hot and the sittings of tlio j of>" 1 two Houses unnecessarily long.
