THR PRESIDENCY.
C Tho great issues which enter into tho Presidential
ej^jtiori, tlic claims of tho rival Candida
tes^anfl-ijie prospects of the campaign, furnish
eut^cCta of absorbing interest at present,
to politicians, and are fully discussed in all the
^>oli.lical journals. The progress of ovenls so
'fnr offyrd no certain basis of calculation as to
ultimate results, but still furnish grounds of encouragement
lliatthe defcat'of sectional ism may
be secured, and tho triumph of souud constitutional

and Lank. To cffect so desirable a result

conscrvativo inen of New York, nnd those of!
the Northwestern Slates in which tho elonieut
of opposition would outweigh the Republican
strength, to unite upon a single electoral ticket,
mid thus secure the defeat of that pari}'. By
adopting this policy, the defeat of Lincoln
ind the triumph of the Democracy would be
laced bt'3'oiid a reasonable doubt.
In the following States, casting in all, 1*27
r'otcp, the Black Republican parly will uot
eceive a single electoral vote, to wit: in Delaware,
Virginia. South Ciirolinn, Florida, Mississippi,
Texas, Tennessee, Missouri, Oregon,
Maryland, North Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana,
Arkansas. Keutuckj' and California.?
litis ie 25 less than the number (152) which is
iccessary to a choice of the President by the
(copiesthe whole number of electors being
103, equal to the whoBs number of Senators i
nd .Representatives in Congress. Now if the i
tate of New York with its 35 votes, (10 more |
hail the deficiency above noted,) could be
a'rried against Lincoln, Iiir defeat would be soured,
though several of the foregoing States
e conceded to him.
To secure the-vote of New York against
tincols i((.is necessary that the various dielents
of opposition be united upon a single
lectoral ticket; ai.d of this union there
:etns to be a strong likelihood. The Bull
id Evebktt men have appointed a committee
f 82 who are authorised to form ?n
cket, which shall unito all conservative men, 1
jd they will, without doubt, unite cordially 1
[>on any fair terms in llio support of the clec- I
irnl ticket to bo nominated by the Domocratie '
onvention, to bo held at Syracuse on the 15th <
r August. It only remains for the Douglas 1
id BiiECKiNitinGE men to co operate in sup <
jrt of the Mine ticket?and with n fair spirit '
" compromise a union ticket could readily be '
lopted which would be generally satisfactory. '
i case of tho success of the party, the vote of 1
e State would thus bj cast for either of the
ndidates, whom it would elect, whether
j
bug las, bnkckint.idoe or Bell. But if it 1
ould elect neither of them, it would be just ^
well for Bkeckisbidof. that it be given to ^
ouolas, Bincc iu e;ther cuse the cleclion would
s cast into the House, where Bkeckinmdge
ould be sure of election. c
In the election by the IIouso, of the 33 States i
eh casting a single vote, according to the cul- <
latior. of the Journal of Commerce, Bukck- i
uidcie on tlic 111at ballot would receive 12
>tes, and Lincoln 15 votes. A maioriiv
*1 ~ ti \ ~ ' / g
all the States are'.neeessary to a choice. The
publicans lack two of the necessary number,
id can get no more. All the four tied States ^
d also Tennessee would be given to Breckin
Ige, in case it should become necessary to
eveut the election of IJnpoln. This would j
ike up the number (17; necessary to elect
m (Breckinridge) without including Illinois.
Should ueithcr the Electoral Colleges nor ^
e House of Representatives be able to elect
['resident, and should no Yice-I'iesident be
oseu by the Electoral Colleges, then from the
'o candidates receiving the highest number ^
Electoral votes for Vice-President^
umlin and Lano, the Senate, which is Demb't
itic, must elect one, and that one, being thus

ct which can no longer be disguised. The

THE CHOPS OF THE COtJNTBY.
Our Exchanges from various sections of the
country*, teem with detailed accounts of the
crops. From n condensed summary prepare*!
by the Charleston Mercury, wo extract the
following:
TIIE NORTH.
New England.?The crops in tho Eastern
States are reported to be generally good. The
scarcity of hay in parts of Vermont and New
Hampshire, is the general topic of remark
among the farmers. Tho Country Gentleman
informs its renders that in Maine there is a
larirer l?ron#1i1? nf #!???
cinlly of hoed crops, and the}' generally bid
fnir. Wheat that was sown in March and
April is reported good. Fruits are very -promising,
and it is presumed that despite the
protracted drough the result of the season will
compare favorable with other years.
TI1E SOUTIJ.
Dei.awaue ?A country paper jmyi: Now
tliat harvest is nearly over, duri^-warebS our
farmers have not suffered from excessive -heat,
or been troubled with wet weather, tliey are
quite willing to have rain. Indeed, there is
beginning to be a serious want of rain throughout
this vicinity, nnd grass already bIiows the
effects of it, aB well as coru aud other grouiiitr
crops.
Mahyi.and.?In Maryland, although in Frederick
county and some other localities the wheat
Leads have been light, poorly tilled, nnd the
grains shrivel'od, the reports which reach us
from other portions of the State are of aucli
a nature ns to niukc us expect nn averngo J
crop. (
Vikoixia.?Tlie Wylhcville TUgraph say*
tliut in Wythe County the yield of grain is but i
liltlo below the uverngc. Tlio yield of liny
will he greater than has been known for years 1
and the corn and oat crop never looked more 1
promising. The tobaeeo crop in Mecklenburg i
win do a snort one; corn, too, is very unpromising

North Carolina.?A letter from the French c

anJ general injury to the crops by liui), t
vinO, antl storms. Tlio corn ia Home places t

e
South Carolina.?From our own State the
recounts for 6omc time past have been exceed- ^
ng]5* discouraging. The rains of the last few ^
Jay'?, however, it is to be hoped, will serve iu
iome degree to better tbe condition of thing*, j
Kesttcky.?The tobneco crop of Kentucky is I
poken of as less tban an average one, for vaious
reasons. There was Ices of an area plan- F
ed, especially near the riv^r, as the almost to- t
al failure of the wheat crop, and high price c
>f corn iu spring, induced the formers to plant S
nore corn and less tobaco. The season, too, s
las been of such a nature as to ripen the plants t
l fortnight or three weeks earlier than usual,
vhich is unfavorable to a great yield of cured t
obacco, eince the btock is brought to the cur
ng-liouse iu worm weather. The hay will a

Tennessee.?The Clarksville Chronicle soys
hat the prospects of the Tennessee farmers
vere never brighter at this seasou of the year j
hnn now -,Their wheat, oats, and rye have v
>een harvested, and turned out more hounti- t
ully than they expected. The quality of wheat j

ind oata were not injured by rust, and will

be dry weather early in the season, would be ?
nuob larger. It is several years since tlie proa- ^
>ect for a full crop of tobacco has been as good. t
?ruit also promises well.
OEonoiA.?Different views are entertained r'
ind expressed ir> relation to the prospects of c
:he growing cotton crap. In some localities v
we ere satisfied that the crop looks unfavorajle,
while in other sections planters are pleasetf
frith their prospects, bo far as the yield is con-' '
serned, but they are rather discouraged atiiie
arospect for prices. jA

condition <if the (Jrecnvillo and Columbia
Kiilroad. Kverywliero through-the whole line
you will foo marked manifestations of energy,
order, economy and Dial vigilant utleiilion to
detail?, without which no public ell t-jrpri.-'o can
ong he sustained. President l'errin, the gentlemanly
and at 11*11' ive conductors, umi other ortig j
cert) of tiio l'oad, all seem to ue entirely at home* I
in the performance of their respective duties.
The crops, 1 am sorry to *ny, tire exceedingly
tin promising, from Columbia to the Saluda:
indeed the early planted corn is lost beyond redemption.
That planted later may tarn out. tolerably,
if lliey fire blessed with copious rains on
ine nn? o! iiiu roa<t mentioned. Jlain is much
needed in this vicinity, nud I lenrn that the District
of Greenville, generally, has BUlR-red much
by dioiiglit; but whilst 1 write, wo have the
promise of a pood ruin, and I trust thai Greenvillo
may yet, in the end. more than supply her
usual abundance of grain to less favored regions.
The Willianwton Hotel! Well, Mr. Editor,
have you ever partaken of the good clit er of
this elegant establishment? Oh, no. Then you
may be surprised to learn that, ut the beautiful,
watering-place of AYilliumeton, you will find
oflo of the largest, most comfortable and costly
hotels in the State. The buildings coat upwards

to be dvfiired liy die most querulous 'invalid "
or pleasure feelsing traveler. The hotel has a
front of 220 feej, with double piazzas of* like .
length, a wing of lSy feet, is four dtories high,
onil can well ncconitnodiMv bOQ visitors. It fias
a Ihii.'c and commodious hall room, ninl is fur?
uittht'd with gas lights, balhf, a hainl uf music,
pianos, itc. 1 urn glad to sec that the public
rtocm inclined to appreci.it!> ami reward the 110- <

the keeper of t'noliolel, who assisted by Mr. 1
W.l). Harris, an energetic nuil expel ienced gen- '
ticmaii ui hotel atliiiiiiisti'aliun, leave no wants
of their t'iiei-ts unnUendecf to. I was glad to
see Iwtfuty-five unines on the register from the
fine company that came up with me, nnd eveiy
indication thai tli<j hotel has a lair prospect of
many visitors this season. In addition lo tlie
creature comforts of tile hotel, ilie mineral fpriiign
of Wi!liui:ii>toii offer the strongest inducement of
a visit to invalids, especially to such nS may be
affected with disorders of tlx: liver, kidney, skin,
debility, and nervous disorder* The water,
unlike in-ist waters having medicinal prtipertie!",
is cold ;,iid agreeable to the timte. It is also
slightly opponent, and should, lliQfgfote, Ijurlge
be efficacious iii cases of dyspepsia and diseases
ilidiontiiitr a derangement of the digestive luncr-j
lions. As to the health ol Witliaiuston and the
country nrouncj, it is3o well known tiiat uu word
of commendation is necessary. The air is iib
pure as the spirit, lliut made it, and a doctor's
office a sinecure, unless called to--heal imported
disenses. < 'r
And last, aifd"Jtot least, whitt^jliall I any of
dear, delightful Greenville, with its beautiful
Iteedy, its noble churches, hcIiooIs, academieg,
Female College, Furinun University ami Baptist
Theological Cvlifge, (that soon will be;) its
magnificent inouituin view, its deli"ioim and j
hea'th-inapiring breeze? Come, my dear friend,
b-je and eniov for votirself. Wliv will Southern I
men, with the souls of true sous of the South, go
North to spend their summers and money ciiion^
tlieircncui.es, to hav.e themselves abused and
their servants stolen or. dirh'uuehed, when Grewv
ville and so many delightful places for summer
resort urc ho near and ho curdy, comfortably,
cheaply nnd quickly readied by our numerous
railroad* ; and places, too, which, in adilinou to
ail to all thest? ad vantages and inducements,
where the visitor may be greeted by fricuiis and
conii>atfiots.
I am, .is 3-011 know, .no politician, but it may
not be amiss to add that the candidates lor the
Legislature in this District are having n lively
time of it, attending'musters, slumping it, looking
to ill* main law of self-promotion. &c. Four
of the old members are candidates'lor re election

THE GREAT CUBE FOB DYSPEPSIA.
Onfr&f the most terrible evils iu the com-,
