RAIN.
We have at Inst been iurr.iahcd with refresh

m tlie future. The crop iu many sections
of the District is indeed pn6t recovery, and has
everj'wherc been seriously shortened. The
rain, however, has done much to reviva the
hopes of the farmer, and will contributo largely
to the increase of thejrop.

amount of labor on a largely-increased issue
has been effected by furnishing each ofiico with
tho full amount required for its quarterly supply,
as nearly as can be calculated, and forbiding
postmasters from making several orders in
the same quarter.

Messrs. Taylor, of Louisiana, Pugh, of Ohio, &
And Rust of Arkansas, on behalf of (be Doug- jj
las Natioual Executive Committee, have issued v
to the Democracy of the United States an ad- s
dress of explanation and counsel. They declare
as the universal sentiment of the sup- 'j
porters of the supporter* of Messrs. Jtaucrlas _
? . "
and Johnson, that no compromise whatever is si
admissible. That they have made no proposi- ^
tion for u joint electoral ticket in any State, and o
exhort the rejectiou of such propositions in- ^
dignantly whenever and wherever made. "If, u
they say, "we have any frienda in any State, u
let tliem call a State Convention at once and
nominate a fall electoral ticket, pledged to thtf t
exclusive support of Douglus and Johnson. Q
Wo can agree to nothing else, bccauso. to ac- p
knowledge the right of a factious minority to ^
dictate their own terms ofto-operation, suffer
them to violate the soltniB^Sttfetsions of the v

SPEECH OF THE HON. W. P. MILES.
Among tlie able and eloquent speeches delivered
at the Charleston Ratification Meeting,
which endorsed tho nominations of Brechintibgk
and Lane, was that of Hon. W. 1*. Miles,
ho didinguished representative in Congress
rom that District.
Mr. Miles approved tlio Resolutions of the
nceting, and endorsed the courso of tho delegation
to Richmond. The whole question of
'Convention" or "Anti-Convention," was a
>ast issue, and should no longer divide us at
?ome, and he recommended a cordial co-operitiou
in tho support "ol Breckinridge and
..am; hh uio oesi nioue 01 securing our just
iglits in the Union.
Ho discusses at length the great issues which
iow divideHho North and South, and distract I
he Democratic party. The "Wilniot Proviso"
ind "Popular Sovereignty," arc shown to bo
qually unconstitutional, nnj equally inimical
othc best interests of the South. A inoro
>nscl.is8 aRsumplion than the Territorial Soverlignty
doctrine of Judge Douglas could scarce
y be found?one so totnlly unsupported by the
Constitution, or by a just construction of the
Cunsas-Nebraska Act.
On (he other hand, the rights of Congresional
protection of slave proper^* in the Ter
itorics is clearly guaranteed by the Conetituion,
and has nlways been contended for by
ioutheru Statesmen. - "*
Willi regard to the proapecta of the Democray,
lie dues uot despair ; hut in ease of its deoat,
and the triumph of Black Republicanism,
10 in prepared to stand by the side of Gen. Mo
itiken, Mr. Keitt, Cien. Boniiam, Mr. Boyce
nd others, in counselling resistance.
The following is his language:
I must very frankly say, that to mo the
Rsue seems doubtful. But 1 do not consider i<*
lesperate. I ludievc that such leaders as
Jreckinridge and Lane are more likely to lead
is to victory over the enemy thnn any others
hat could have been chosen. There are vaious
reiipons, which it. is needless to particular
se, why this should be so. But it is in the
huraeter of these gentleman themselves?as
ndividual men?that very much ofthcir stren;th
lies They are sure, upright, brave and
nde|inudent. They command the respect and
iiinfidence of all. I know them both personilly.
Mr. Breckinridge is a frank, gallant,
;enial and true heartfed'tiian. lie possesses a
lear and vigorous intellect?admirable jndijnent
creat strength of will?with a,peculiarly
anu cuuricuup. H't Iiiimiv Ilinnncr.
1c is still quite a.j-oung man?tlio youngest
ver put in nomination for tlie Presidency,
'his, I consider?in one of his solid, well
nilnnc d character?a decided advantage. We ,
night expect, in the event of his election, a
ioM, firm and energetic administration. He
I'ould do away, as far as practicable, with
cd-tnpe ism," and-tho "circumlocution ofllce''
ystcm. There would bo no "old fogy ism"
bout him. His political opinions arc too faniliar
to the country to require me to eay anyliing
eoccerning them. His Frankfort speech
lelivered last December, just after his election
o tlio Seunfe of the United States, has been
widely circulated, and shows his soundness on \
he great "iciestion of the day. His accept- ,
lice of the nomination on the platform adoptd
by the seceding Southern States nt Rich- _
noud, proves that he is with us heart and soul
nd worthy to bear the banner of the South.
Gen. Lane is an honest, staunch soldier; a
nan w ithcrut guile or deceit; of a lartre heart
id gei croud nature; an uncompromising
rion.d of States Rights and the Constitutional .
ijunlity of all sections.
With such leaders, we can go with brave
carls into the conflict. The South enn follow '
lieru to battle, knowing thut there will be uo |
iase retreat from the vantage ground of pnniple?no
ignoble surrender of her rights?no
isgraceful betrayal of her cause.
If, in tlio coming contest with Black Repubicanisin
and sectional domination, victory
hould perch upon the banners of Breckinidge
and I.ane, there is a chance for at least a
einporary respite from frcesoil agitation. The
. ave of auti slavery hostility may be tempoarily
stayed. But what if they are defeated,
nd 'Lincoln and his "irrepretsible conflict," |
nd "higher-law," Constitution-ignoring party ,
lected to rule over us? What then? South ]

era?will you suffer such a party?such men '

hua allow the old Palmetto State to be de- j

ir their memory will be burning weight in

THE WEATHER, CR0P8, ETC.
From almost every portion of the State we
lioar complaints of warm weather nml unfavorable
accounts of the crops. In some sections
showers have fallen, but they have been
no means general. The weather has been oppressively
warm here, and the drouth remarkably
severe. The corn crop which a short
time back promised so well, bus been almost
entirely cut off?ami if we were to have rain
in abundance, from this time on, we would still
have a short crop, us the corn is really dead
upon the ground. There is no corn in this
market for sale, nor is there any in the country,
and the prospect of the growing crop is;
indeed irloomy.?Chester Standard. j

The crops uro wretched. From every portion
of the country we hear the most discouraging
new* about corn. We heard one farmer remark
that, out of n field of two or three htm
dred acre?, he con id not gather more than
twenty bu&hels. All for the want of ruin.?
Matters begin to look alarming.
The Houston J'rlrcl has I he following:
The com crop is literally burned up, and
will f>e a failure unless we have rain soon.?
Cotton is doing badly. It is too hot fi:r man or
beast to live long, and no prospect for a change
soon.
Louisiana.?Throughout the State the present
hot weather is noted ns something unexampled,
at least since 1828. The Lebanon
Democrat of the 14th inat., says:
The heat, during the early part of the week
wh most oppressive, the thermometer standing
nv?;r 100 degrees in the shade at middav.?
Since then, there ha<ro been cool refreshing
showers.
Tlio following is an extract from a letter dated
DeSoto Parish, Louisiana, July C :
"We ore Rtill suffering from tlie want of rain.
It seems as if it will never conic. Tlic corn i.-?

liahes a li tter from lion. F. Foll?*tt, formerly j
a Canal Commissioner of that State, in which
he replies to Fernando Wood's letter, urging j
the Democriiey of New York to support Judge
Douglas. The Herald Hiiys :
"Mr. Follett takes Hie Jiavor prett3* roundly
to tas-k for going over to the treacherous
Albany Regency, and shows how Mr. Breckinridge
may b? elected witiiout the vote of New
York. Considering the fermentation goini; on i

of Mr. Follett.'s will lie read with interest hy j

the hopelessness of the cause of Mr. Douglas,
whatever may l>e the issue of this Prciidenlhil i
contest, and of the great value of the solid
vote of the South. There nlxn appears to be a i
