LATER FROM HAVANA.
The brig Charles Kershaf, Captain
Richmond, arrived here yesterday
morning from Havana, which port she
left on the 8thinst. She reports that,
three days before her departure the
United States steamer Vixen arrived
with some intelligence respecting
Lopez which caused great excitement,
and that all the Spanish vessels of war
and steamers were ordered out immedi
ately to cruse along tho coast.
By this arrival we have received full
files of the Faro Industrial up to the
7th inst. inclusive, hut they throw hut
little light on tho progress of events in
tho island. We perceive therein ad
dresses from the officials, of Cienfue-
gns, Trigidad de Cuba, Puerto Prin
cipe and Villa Clara, stating that the
disaffected were surrendering them
selves, and that many prisoners had
been taken. The very tenor, however

We are indebted to the coorteey of
a merchant in the eky for the following
extract from a letter written by an in-
teligent gentleman whose opportunity
forjudging the crop in Mississippi'has
been good:
DbKalb, Miss., Aug. tt, 1651.
• ••••• •
“With regard to the crop the pros-
C ect is very hard. A few showers
ave been passing about for the last
two weeks and have improved cotton
a little. The crop is more spotted than I
have ever seen it; I mean by this that
in some neighborhoods the crop is pret
ty good, while in others, only a few
miles distant, there is a perfect failure
—they will make neither com nor
cotton; this is owing the partial
rains; we have had no general rain and
the only thing to help cottou is a con-
itnuation of the showers with a * late
fall; heavy and abundant rains would
cause the squares to fall off and entire-
tirely destroy it. No man at this time can
calculate, even with usual accuracy,
about the extent of the crop. In some
sections there will be great distress a-
mong the poorer class of farmers. I
have seen many fields of com that will
not make a bushel to ten acres.
“In several neighborhoods contribu
tions have been taken, and arrange
ments made to send an agent to the
west to purchase com for the relief of
the poor. You may safely put down
coton crops of Lauderdale, Kemper,
Neshobee and Winston at one-half of

“A vessel arrived here yesterday
morning, from Cardenas, having made
tho passage in five days from that

Although neither the Captain nor
passengers, one of them a Spaniard,
were willing to communicate the
political news of the island, from their
conversation it is clear that the flame

“It was said in Cardenas when the

which the latter had completely routea

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE COURIER.

According to rumor, the Pampero after
landing him and his force, is to return
for another cargo. Some predict that
Lopez will maintain himself, and otbert
that he will be taken prisoner and shot
and others again that Ee will, after
meeting with a warth reception from
the government forces, retire to his ves

I'll* immediate effect on
the ootton has no doubt been to cause
a rapid shedding of the forms ami
blooms; the plant, however which on
the thin sandy land had grown but lit-
lle for several weeks past, is again
growing finely-, and should we have
only a few light showers the balance
of this month, may yet yield tolerably
well. But should this month prove a
wet one the most serious injury would
he done to the cotton—especially that
on the black and slough lands. The
prospects for a good crop in this sec
tion are by no means ns good as they
were a few weeks ago.
In Mississippi.—The Port Gibson
Herald of August 8th says:
Within the past week planters have
received a bountiful supply of rain,
which will, to a good degree, revive
tho cotton plant, and give promise of
a better crop than had been anticipa
ted. Yet it will by no means he a
full crop. And here we think it proper
to notice tho tendency of many to send
abroad flattering accounts and pro
phecies of the quantities which will he
made. Occasion is taken to force in
to the market, at the earliest possible
date, a bale or two of cotton, and to
hold out ideas that tlie crop will he lar
ger than in fact is everl-calized. From
these data buyers make their calcula
tions and regulate their offers. Sel
dom does the crop reacii the maximum
anticipated, and we believe that plan
ters will agree with us that it is poor
policy for any one to furnish false da
ta which w ill result to their injury.

late date says:

that this portion of the State w as suf

dry weather continues, although rain
has several times fallen a few drops at
a time. In some places we are glad to
hear they have lately had fine rains,
though we fear too late to be of much
benefit to the corn crops. In this vi
cinity vegetation is almost totally burnt
up,even the trees arc dying, and it is
doubtful whether half of a crop of any
Mud will lie made.

HOW WE PLAY SCISSORS.
Friend Norwood departed this morn
ing on a visit to foreign countries, and at
liis special instance and request, we now
occupy the chair editorial. We are a
portly person, and fond of our ease; be
hold us, reader, as we light our cigar,
(one of SeXTon’s best) lean back in the
rickety arm chair, and cock our feet “a
CAmericane” upon the table, the morning
breeze is fanning our temples, and as we
complacently inhale the fragrant Havan-
na, a feeling of comfort pervades our sys
tem, and we are lost in our reflections
upon the novelty of our position and our
newly acquired dignity. Heretofore,
when we have had occasion to allude to
our humble self, we have been accustom
ed to use the singular numbel*, but now
we banish from our vocabulary such use
less and insignificant words as “ I” and
“ me,” and acting in accordance with the
good old maxim, •* As well be out of the
world as out of the fashion,” we will
hereafter, until we abdicate the chair, as
sert our.dignity by speaking of ourselves
in the plural number.
Truly we have multiplied wonderfully
of late, and though we do notNbow see
double, (the day being too young) yet
thick coming fancies crowd before us.
These editors have, every man of them,
an Infinite degree of conceit. When Mr.
Quill expresses his cogitations by the
terms, “ We think”—when he announces
his determination by the words, " we will
do this,” or “we will dd*that,” he plainly
intimates as follows: “ As a King, (Fred
erick, of Russia, for instance) proclaims
his sovereign will by heading his Ukases
with the pronoun ‘ We,’ so wp, (Qill)
seated as we are, higlv above our follow-
men, conscious of the possession of su
perior strength of intellect and firmness
of purpose, with corresponding ability to
tance, Master Quill.
We intend to make use of you and your
fellows. We believe that the little inetru.
ment which you wield is one of mighty
power, and that your vast influence is
generally exerted for good in the commu
nity^ and is very rarely prostituted to
vile purposes.
Upon the whole, we are inclined to
think that the life of an editor of a week
ly newspaper is a very pleasant^ne, for
without taking into consideration the nice
little presents, such as cigars, &c., which
he receives, steam and electricity are
constantly everting their agency, in fur
nishing him a supply of literary food,
fresh from the mint of mind; he has, it
is true, some labor to perform, but for
this he is amply repaid by the rich intel
lectual feasts which are daily spread be
fore him. If “ increase of appetite grows
by what it feeds on,” what gormandisers
of the milk of other men’s brains these
editors must be? Friend N. must be
quite an epicure in that way, for as we
sit in his sanctum we see scattered around
us on the floor, vast piles of newspapers;
at our side, in the book case, are huge
folios, “Peleon upon Ossa”—there, on
the table, are reviews, novels, poems, es-
eays—and here, in the drawer of our
arm chair, are various manuscripts for
publication in the Flag.
But if we ruminate much longer as we
have been doing, we shall accomplish
nothing. What pleasant editorial duty
shall we first perform ? We ought to ex
tract the essence of all the good things
in these newspapers; but to do this we
must read them all, a task which two
pair of eyes could scarce perform in a
fortnight; to commence that duty, then,
this morning, would not be pleasant to
morrow, wa will “address ourselves that
encounter.” We ought to review the re
views, criticise (he novels, point out the
beauties and defects of the poems, and
answer or express our approval of the
arguments advanced in the essays, but
we will not attempt to perform that duty
at this time, tor reasons hereafter to ap
pear. One thing, we must do this morn
ing; we must perusd Afliesc manuscripts.
Reader, look over our shoulder as we do
this. What have we here ? A commu
nication headed “ disunion here is an
other on co-operation, a third on seces
sion, and hereltSB Winy others on simi
lar political subject*; All of these speak
with indignation of the wrongs, the in
sults and the intolerable grievances to
which we of the South have been sub
jected, and indicate the proper course for
the State to pursue in order to preserve
and perpetuate our cherished institutions.
Judging from these manuscripts, the pre
sent degraded position of the South is
the all absorbing idea among all classes
of our citizens; this is as it should be,
for however pleasant and laudable it may
be for the citizen, while the ship of State
floats smoothly on, favored by auspicious
gales, to devote his time and talents to
literary and scientific pursuits, yet now,
when general discontent prevails, when
our constitutional rights are invaded,
when Southern civilization is endanger
ed, now, when the tide of fanaticism is
rising higher and higher, threatening soon
to overflow our beloved land and to car
ry in its course ruin and devastation,
such as the world has never before seen,
■t is the duty of every true Southron to
strain every nerve, to exert all his ener
gies for the honor and welfare of his
country.
There are, it is true, a few men here,
as elsewhere, whose opinions imy be
termed “ ultra,” but we fcel assurWAhat
the great mass of our citizens coincide as
nearly in opinion as any people ever did
on a great political question.
The advocates of co-operation and se
cession, hold many sentiments in com
mon. We all believe that the Constitu
tion ia a dead letter, and that this Union
is not the same Union which was formed
by our fathers f we concur in the belief
that there is no reliance to be placed in
the justice of a Northern majority; we
all believe that the Federal aggressions
are intolerable, and cannot be submitted
to; we are all in favor of co-operation
with our sister States of the South, and
believe such co-opeatifoi ia worthy of
many sacrifices, but iibr%e sacrifice in
volved in submission; we all believe in
sovereignty of the States and the right of
secession, and we ardently desire the for
mation of a Southern Confederacy.
There being, then, so great an unanimi
ty among us, let us stand on tlie same
platform—let us rally under a common
standard. A banner has been recently
unfurled by a citizen of your District, on
which is inscribed,
“Co-operation, if it can be effected with
in two years—if not, secssion before the
adjournment of the Convention.”
Good men and true, of Darlington Dis
trict ! rally under this standard. Beneath
its folds co-operationists and secessionists
may meet as brothers, and together de
vote all their energies to procure that co
operation which we all so earnestly de
sire.
Rally under this standard, and you
will disappoint those persons who desire
to see your land distracted by discord and
faction. Rally under this standard, and
all the different shades of opinion among
us will soon blend harmoniously into one,
and you will present an united front to
your enemies.
1NYITATI0N FOiTTrEE DISCISSION A-
GA1N TENDERED BY THE SECES
SIONISTS AND DECLINED BY
THE CO-OPERATIONISTS.
Darlington, 11th Aug., 1851
Gentlemen: We understand that
portion of the citizens of this District who
approve the views of the Co-operation par
ty, propose to hold a public meeting at
this place on the first Monday in Septem
ber next.
We infer that the object of the meet
ing is to organize the party, and dissem-
The first 5Luiday of the present month
was the reginfr time for a quarterly meet
ing of the Southern Rights Association
of Darlington District The secession
ists on that day proposed that (lie meet
ing of the Association should be post
poned, with a view to a free and general
discussion of our Federal relations. The
invitation thus presented to the other par
ty was not accepted, at least they de
clined to participate in the discussion. It
will now be perceived that another offer
to enter into a discussion of the great
topics which agitate the country before
the assembled people of the Disttlst has
also been declined. The terms and man
ner of the challenge were perfectly unex
ceptionable. The reason for declining was
not satisfactory to those who extended
I invitation; whether it will be so to a
discerning public remains to be seen.
Why avoid a discussion, where both
sides should be heard at once! Can any
one doubt but that this is the best mode of
eliciting the truth? But the co-operation
ists desire to present and propagate their
pecnliar views ; they would not be propa
gated so easily, if they were answered by
their opponents.
One fact is indisputable. ’'Tho seces
sionists have twice challenged a public
discussion, and twice has the tender been
evaded. One other fact is equally clear,
namely, that the resistance party are sat
isfied they have nothing to lose by dis
cussion.
THE BUYS BRANCH.
From the signs of the times we fear
that the day is rapidly approaching, in
Darlington District, when party lines will
be drawn—when the rancoar of political
hostility witl drive nen to extremes—
when intemperate speeches, inflsmatory
publioations and personal invectives will
force citizens, who now live together as
friends and brethren, into the position of
personal and political enemies. Fellow-
citizen^ cannot rancorous party strife be
averted? Is there no way to quell me
demon discord, which is new rearing up
his snaky crest in our midst, threatening
to tear up the very foundations of society
and to sever those ties between man and
man, which make life desirable ?
Actuated as we are by love for our
country, striving to maintain the honor of
our State, and to protect and defend our
cherished institutions from Federal ag
gressions, it is the dictate of the highest
minate its views,we venture respectfully to
suggest that the people would be placed
in a much more favorable position to form
an opinion upon the grave question
which now agitates the public mind, by
having the same discussed freely by ail
parties, rather than by an ex parte argu
ment of either side, and respectfully pro-
C that instead of a party meeting we
a mass meeting at the same time
and place, for the sole purpose of discus
sion—after which the people of the Dis
trict would be able, with a full knowledge
of the views and policy of the respec
tive parties, to take position intelligently,
(if they hax’e not done so already) when
choice or necessity impelled them to do
so. ^Should the suggestion now made be
favorably received, and we trust it will
be, there is no doubt but that a majority
of the public would approve of the course.
Wo think much good would result
from a mutual interchange of opinion.—
From a calm and temperate discussion,
some plan or scheme might be a adopted by
which a large majority of all parties
might be united. One good result would
certainly arise—that the principles and
policy of each party being fully explain
ed, there would be no room for misrepre
sentation on either side, and we would
thus avoid, in time to come, if forced to
differ, much angry discussion and embit
tered feeling. Should you conclude to
entertain our proposition, an equal num-
U>r of discreet gentlemen of each party
should be selected to regulate tho num
ber of speakers, the order of debate and
to ensure all due decorum and courtesy.

THE WRONG SPIRIT.
We were sorry to see in the Fairfield
Herald, some time since, a letter purport
ing to have been written at Darlington
C. H., which gave a very perverted ac
count of the meeting near Pleasant View,
in Uiis District.
This attempt to give a false coloring to
the procedings on that occasion, and to
misrepresent what was then said and
done by two of our citizens, is, to say
the least of it, very reprehensible.
The writer of that letter could not h$ve
been actuated by a good motive, and wo
feel assured that it was not written by
any citizen of this District. It is notorious
that at the meeting referred to Chancel
lor Dargan had scarcely entered upon
his subject and defined his position before
a storm came up and dispersed the au
dience, and that the Chancellor concluded
his remarks at Darlington C. H. on tho
Monday afterwards. As to the other
gentleman, Col. E. W. Charles, who is
disrespectfully alluded to hi that commu
nication, although un fort n irately we differ
with him in our political opinions, yet we
take pleasure in saying that there is no
man in this District who has been more
consisted tin the avowal ofhis political sen
timents, or who is personally more belov
ed or mord highly respected.
