The Crop Reports.
The Charleston ' '<??(//< r in publishing the
annexed letter with regard to the growing
eropi. makes (lie following well timc<l remarks
in relation to t'.ie necessity ofti.itliful nml necurAti
reports, and of its own exertions, in that
behalf:
In publishing the following note from an aefive
ami unsueeeMful planter of Union lJistriet,
we take occasion to state that we have employ |
ed nil possible ell'orl.i to secure the results
wh'eh are mentioned. It has been ami is our :
dt-nire nml purpose to furnish truthful anil ae- j
eurate reports of the prospects of the crops !
from time to time, ami we have labored and i
wntehed for that. end.
To proeure eorrepitondetif? i-j i? .i:<* >
ficult mat 1 or, nml wo would readily make a '
parade of such a feature. Our aim, * however,
lias been ill litis department to accept an.l put*- i
1 iali only sm*li statements as wc could recoin- (
mend and endorse.
Our planting friends liave it in their power ;
to second and extend our efforts, and tho va- I
lue of reports appearing in a journal which I
circulates widely and generallv throughout (lie
cotton, rice and wheat region of the t^cuth and !
W est.
Let the planters look to it, and let. cneli far- I
mer's club, or district or county society take
means to furnish reliable reports to a good
journal.
Wc invite from all ofctr-ets and sections, let- [
tei's such as'.hat wc subjoin from L'nion I)is- \

prcat want of reliability in the statements fre- !

than the Arrieultui ist ; it is all im- |

crops of the preset.t year have found their way !
into the newspaper*. Abo,;|. tiie 1st. August !
the prospect of the Cotton crop was pood : but
in many of tin- Co!ion growing districts of the |
back country 1:0 rain has fallen since tlie l'Jih
July. T never saw more Cotton bolls made in j
.Inly ; but few, very few, have been made ;
since. The Attirust forms have uK dromod. i
The stalk is small, it has shed it? lonvos trivinir I
indicnt ions of maturity, ami ifrnin should now I
come to make a n-w growth, it. is too late to |
make eotton, unless wo have a remarknhly lat
and propitious season. Wo have tio hesita- j
tion in expressing the opinion that, the Cotton ;
crop of I lie back country will fall short of 18"i7
ami in many places will not amount to half an i
average crop. The Corn crop imi.-t necessarily i
full short. liarlv Corn will turn otf pretty i

bottoms may do well, but t.l?ey have yet to!
run the gauntlet of fall freshets.
UNION.
The late Riots in New York.
The New York remarks that tho re- j
cent proceedings of the Metropolitan Police ;
Uonrd. and of Governor John A. King, has do !
monstrated the worthlessness of the system of
placing executive authority, in the hands of!
irresponsible Boards, and of nominating can- |
didatcs for office without reference to tlieir !
ability to wield tiie powers they may be called j
upon to cxercisc. It says :
For weeks before the burning down of the j
Quarantine establishment, continued threats of i
r-uoli a proceeding were publicly uttered, and j
preparations for carrying them out were al- j
most openly made. The slightest exertion on j
1 lie part of tlic Police Commissioners, the
smallest degree of efficiency on the part, of]
their detective police, would have enabled the j
authorities to have been thoroughly informed ,
of the contemplated proceedings" and to have j
taken measures to save half a million of State !
prr.p.itv, ..voiding thereby the expenditure of
another sum ectiallv hiree in fntil.. mnr?>i?ni'
and above nil, h.'iv intr llic lives of several worthy
citizens. But what is tho business of half
n doz-.'ii ni/n in committee, is nobody's business
in particular. So each one busied himself
with his pi ivale amusements, ami when the
lioui of trial enine nothing was ready, and nothing
could be done. Hut this is not the worst I
of it. The work of destruction was not com- j
pleted on tho first night, and there was every .
reason?there was, in fact, the positive nssur- j
nnce?to believe that it would bo finished on ,
the succeeding one.
Governor King was in the ci'y, upon whom !
the imperative neessity of action ultimately j
rested. The Police Board was at hand, ond ;
gathered in council. An able and energetic j
Superintendent of Police was ready to act ns I
Hoon as h? should receive the necessary authority
to do so. Men nnd means were at command
to any extent, yet not a hand wus lifted,
nor ft foot stirred to prevent the destruction
that was everywhere known to be in contemplation.
The Collector of the Port sent down
a small force ofgovernineut marines to protect
the federal property, and not a thing -under
their charge was injured. But they could
not go beyond the stringent limits of federal
authority. Thus, tho destruction of the fcltatc
property was completed on the second night
without the slighcst effort for its prevention.
And now comes the conflict of shifting responsibility.
The Metropolitan Police Board must
?:Ieor its own skirts, nnd they must find the i
nier.ns to do it. On tnany former occasions, |
when a similar exigency has occurred. tlii? nW i
of the necessity of applying to Albany, where
nil llio power I* centred, 1ms been put in t?s ?n
excuse. Tint tliis would not. do now. for (Jov.
King wns here, revelling w itl> thoiu in the luxuries
ofii tnun eipal dinner. So, in their haste,
they Mint the whole blame upon the devoted
head of .Superintendent Tiillmudge.
Speech of Gen. Bonham.
The Hhariv&ton Mercury publishes ut length
the recent Edgi'field Speech of Gen. lionham,
with the following comments :
Gur readers will find in our columns thia
morning, the speech of the Hon. M. L. lionham,
delivered at a dinner given in his honor at i
Edgefield, on the 2d instant, lie conclusively
vindicates his vote given against the Kan^a*
Compromise, nnd expresses his determination
to insist on the recognition of the Act in the
provision requiring 03,000 inhabitants before
admission as a free State, lie approves heartily
of President Buchanan's courso since the
dismissal ofllobt. J. Walker, nnd declares that
tiia election of such n man as Seward ought to
be, and will lie, the silent death signal of this
confederacy j'tlipt there is a marked distinction
now. >is ever, between "States Rights" and .
"National.Democrats." but that, while South
....... - - -
v>uruiiim biiouta not compromise a single States
Right# principle,.slid should co-operutc willi
States Rights Democrats in other SAatee in going
into the National Democratic Presidential
Convention, and if the element ndverse to the
lights of the States prevail in ?lw> Convention,
\re should return to the independent attitude,
und support any candidate the State* Rights
party uiay run.
TfcTespeech is straight forward, and manly
nnd able. We .ngrco with Gen. Dunham in
most of his position?, as our readers will observe,
but nut in all. We trust that the diseudsion
of the National Convention qpestiou
in this State will be let alone until the time
comes for its practical consideration. At presvrc
think it premature, and are not disposed
to bring it up, Douglas we cannot swallow.

Decrease of Emigration.
For the first time in the history of emigration
to the United Stales from the British Islands
there is now a preponderance in the
movement towards Australia and Canada over
that towards these shores. The official returns
made up in England, show that for the first
three months of 1858 the aggregate number of
emigrants from Great Britain was 19,000, of
whom 8,200 were bound for the United States,
against 10,720 for the corresponding period of
1867. Of tho rest 9,867 were for the Australian
colonies. Emigration for all parts of the

The Dramatic Exhibition.
The pupils of the Abbeville Male Aendctny |
gnvo quite an ni?icenblo Dramat ic entertain incut '
on last Wednesday evening, which we had the I
pleasure of attending. They had employed por- j
lions of the vaeation, which was now closing,
in getting up two very excellent comic pieces, j
"Hoots at the Swan," and "Teddy Roe." and j
were well prepared. Having at considerable
trouble and expense equipped a stage and pro
vidod suitable costumes, they distributed their
programme of exercises, extending a general ]
invitation to the public to be present.
The evening was pleasant, and there wns a 1
good attendance. Parents, brothers and sisters, j
aii oiiniv to ciiecr tlie villus with tlieir |
sympathy, itii<1 to loml fresh interest to tlie occasion.
In front of the stnge xvns ii row of juvenile
spectator*, anxiously awaiting the raising

award their full measure of encouragement;
whilst ill the background win a fair rcprosciitation

The various scenes presented nnu-h of comic I
interest and were well sustained. The acting |
was easy and natural, and showed a proper j
appreciation of the characters assumed. Voting
people have a keen sense of the ridiculous, are j
close observers of lil\? and manners, and are
good mimics; and hence appear well in comic j
seone?. The interest of tin- occasion too, was j
heightened hy our knowledge of the perfor- !
tilers, and the play of sympathy between them 1
and I lie audience.?The performances elicited j
many a bright smile and lu-arty laugh; and
evoked general applause, from the clapping of!
liny hands to the trumping of sturdy feci. We '
all went to be amused and were fully gratified, j

Tho William ston Fancy Ball.
Kussclas, prince of Abyssinia, was in a phi- j
losophie search of happiness, and a long search ;
after it, it was; vet, Ins !i<l not ftn?l it. An |
Kastorn <'illi|?li beitis; aillieted :iU) with riinui, i
was a<lvised by his physician that a change <>f j
shirts, with a man who was perfectly happy, |
woul.i euro him. After long search, ho found
such a man ; but alas ! he was informed that i
the happy fellow had not. the desired article. ;
Most of us in quest of happiness, changed shirts; j
and all sort* of unmentionables were substituted i
on thisirrand oeeasiou, and more fortunate than
the Caliph, wo found and grasped suns/line at ]
Williamson Sprint". We were all looking I
for nmuseineiit, pleasure and happiness but I j
am sure that the simple change of our habitual
garments into historical or fantastic ones, would i
not produce cither of llie.se desirable objects. j
Indeed, In order to "euro a mind diseased," it. !
is necessary to use ntriihil r?*?i '?/<>*, and to illduei
this result, we must raise our minds ahovc '
tlie mere every-day drudgery of eoinmon life, I
and a Fancy Hull, well appointed, I am sure, j
is the very thing to l?ring about so happy a |
result. j
Was I to forego this favorable chance, and
<?5vc up so irlorioiis a sight, which gladdened ,
in}* eves and heart, by recalling to mv mind
dear ones, though fur away? T!ii? brilliant. |
si'/ht lightened my sad heart.. While I contemplated
this beautiful assemblage of clia-'l'lul
faces, met bought I beheld a meadow enameled
with chaste (lowers adorned with the liu-'s of j

hy him, was (so is xvas opined l?y a IJo- j

Contttdino, and as to mysolf, I unhesitatingly I
pronounced her one of Ilatraello's heretofore J
undiscovered Madonnas, that a congenial sweet I
South had c*xpt\n<lo<l into bounty, like a lovely
butteifly in tin? Mil}' spring of seasons. She is,
indeed, fi t to kneel before, nml she coultl lie

or hy bright Aurora, while with her rosy
fingers she scatters flowers before the morning,
as wo pee her in (initio's Aurora. Starry Night !
was too bright and beautiful not to awaken us
from nightly sadness. She made every man
full in love with night, nnd every one would
have cheerfully spent his life in the study of
the geography of the heavens on so heavenly a
body.
Maria Louisa was the real German beauty
and type, beautifully moulded though in a j
grave and severe style, in n word, she was ]
east in one of Tlmrwaldsen's charming moulds.
Still it was evident she showed a very considerable
jealousy for the presence of Josephine, and
for her superior grace and dignity. There was
also a Spanish lady, a pure Andalusian beauty
with all their graces, a likeness of the charming
Kmpress Euirnni-.. and alsoa Polish voune bulv
admirably and tnstefull^JTressed with n dainty
l)ulch cap lliot sweetly suited her sweet and
playful features. It was evident to me that
Maria Louisa looked on these two beauties
with no small trepidation, knowing Napoleon's
admiration for them.
There could he seen (\ beautiful chiraetef.
full of innocent nuptial blushes, and crowned
with myrtle and orange flowers. She was a
beautiful personification of Lsilla Kookli, the
charming creation of an Eastern tale, a v?rv
Ilouri by Thomas Moore, he who so enchantingly
sting of beauty lnvo and wine, the merry
wine, that gladdens the heart of laborious man.
There could be seen also Zelicn, the Priestess
of the faith in Lalla Kookh. Under this disguiso
the Columbian lady was tnore than a
Priestess, she was a lovely dove, and we could
sooJfTiat an elegant gentleman, in a courtly
dress, with a plume in his chapeau-brass, made
to her most significant bows of admiration at
the beauty of her Zelica while daucincr the
Lancicr. There was an Albitnesc, a superb
Aloutensgrin freshly landed from Greece who
spoke the Romaic. He was clad in a most
classic dress, and he was unsurpassed in beauty,
costliness and correctness of delineation of
the national costumo of riKrdoro Greece ; and
our young Albanese displayed an exquisite
taste. Equally in good taste were dressed a
sprightly sailor who made love with all the
lasses that he could hail, and callcd them fine
crafts ; and the other a courtly yonng gentleman
in aeuitof black of the most distingu'e
taste, and which displayed to the greatest

and her many clans were picturesquely represented
; '.heir Alpine mountains resounded with
their firm and manly footstep, ami the clank of

McDonald had answered tliccall of her country,
file, the boast of Scotland, and, in a measure,
her.loan of Are, the type of sympathising and
devoted woman ami of a noble and generous
woman, was here represented with grace and
dignity.
Mexico had here two descendants of the
brave though cruel Cortc/.. Their costume*

in fitness, freshness, and ill the natural manner
with which tliey sported with them ;
ami in this wise they captivated the heart

that these Spanish Cavaliers will have to

adorned their holts. TliU must ho their f.ite

The Chinese Sugar Cane.
A writer in th? Wiunshorn Jleyintrr, who
signs his initials "W. 8. L." gives the following
as the result of hia expericncc with the Chinese
Cane :
"As predicted by niv old colleere friend and
i associate, Col. II. .1. Gaire, Sccrctnry an<l Trea
surer <> f tlie State Agricultural Society, it. is
| destined to (ill tliut period of scarcity which
w<- all experience, between llie cleaning of our
! small grnin fields, and the opening of our pea!
fields, in tlie fall. Ill proof of tli is, I will state
j that four weeks sine?, I penned my killing
j hogs. fifty-six in number, and have fed tliern
' solely on the green cane, with a few peaches'.
| every day since, and that they are now in a
! most thrifty growing condition?seemingly fat
toning every day. As the peaches are or soon
j will be IT''tie, I shall henceforth irivo only a half
; hudiel of corn with an abundance of eane.
i This, I think, will lie amply sullicient to keep
| them grow in it and f.ii teuing until I open the
first pea tl Id. which will not h<t before the
last nf October or the first of November.
"Mv mules being mischievous, and liable to
break into my own mid neighbors* fields, I
| have bitfll compelled to keep the'U eontiiied to
j the lots, Here they have been fed solely on
i the ''illiti, and are now ns fat and slick as il they
I had been stalled, hii;hl\ fed mill groomed every
j day. For cows, too, our experience is that- it
J is nn Admirable food. Tne loss of the cattle of
I the Hon. Hurrel B. Cook, mu.-t have been
causer! by something else than t.lio poisonous
character of llie cane, as was supposed.
"To sum up, then, my opinion of the Chinese
Sugar Cnue, J consider it as worthless as a sugar
or syrup-making plant, (t. e., it won't pa}',)
as equally wort hless as a fodder or forage plant
(i. e., in its dried state,) but ns a grain crop, for
feeding or soiling purposes, it is invaluable?
hotter, far better, than nuy of the millet family,
Indeed, I would be very unwilling to dispense
with it under any circumstances, and
shall, if spared another J'oar, increase tho quantity
sown."

MANY KINDS OF TONIC ARE ADVERtised
that wo are assured will etrengthen the
hair and prevent its falling out; but none that
we have 6een used does nil that it promises,
save that of Professor O. J. Wood. This ve
know is goo-1 from having tried it, and witnessed
in several cases its truly beneficial effects.
Dr. Wood was kind enough to 3end us a couple
of bottles, and after Finding tliat it prevented
our hair from falling out, we presented a
bottle to a friend who had been bald for at least
thirty years; it has restored h is hair entirely,
and it is now as thick and glossy as when he
was twenty-live. This we say in all sincerity,
and we shall he glad to have our friends try it
for themselves, ns we believe it is just what it
professes to be. For real worth, Wood's Hair
Restorative is undoubtedly tlio best preparation
now in Ui?e for restoring hair on bald heads,
changing gray hairs to their original color, and
for a cosmetic or cure for pimples, it is fast taking
the place of other preparations No toil.-t
now a days is complete without it.
I f any one should ask us what in our opinion,
arrived at by an impartial test, whs the
beet and most honest compound remedy for
preserving and beautifying the hair, nnd re
storing gray li?ir to its o.-iginal color. nmJ the

IF ALL OUR READERS WIIO ARETROUbled
with Liver Complaint, Jaundice or Dyepepsin,
will read the advertisement in another
column of Dr. SanfordV Invigurator, and they
try a bottle, we should not see so many sickly
despairing people as now meet our gaze at atmost
every corner, for never was a remedy of
which so much is said, and that performs so-nearly
what its proprietors say it will do. Itioame
to us highly recommended that we could not fail
to try it, and a trial has convinced us, without
a doubt, that it is the beat family medioine in
use. We take it for Headache, Sour Stomach,
J3il Jiousneso, and any of th? little bodiTy ill*
are common, and it does produce a pleasant
state of feeling to the siok, and what is better
after using it a few times, these little ilia grows
less ana less, ana inero is a prospect of being
entirely free from them by a continuance in
the use of the Inrigorator. Now we wieb to
impress our readers with this, lh?t the Snvigorator
is a medioine particularly adapted to
family ??e, and wl>?re tkere a;? children subject
to little diseasos, as all ohildreo are, it ia
