TENNESSEE.

The Nashville Wing, in an article on the
crop of Tennessee, makes the following re-
marks
"The amount of cotton grown in Middle Ten
Hessee is, comparatively speaking, quite incOn-
siderable. The whole export of the counties ly-
ing between the Cumberland Mountain and the
Tennessee river has never, we believe, exceed
ed ,00e bales; ard will not the present year
reach 10000. The falling off, which common
ced as far back as 1886, has been in the amount
planted-not in the comparative yield eff the
crop. Very little new cotton has been received
at this point. The staple promises well, previ-
ded the weather should continue good for pick
ing.
&c The crop of the Western district, (west of
the Tennessee) will hardly be an average one,
though from all the adviees we have yet re.
ceived, we think it more than probable that the
increased planting this year will go far to make
UP the Injury sustained from the worm or other
causes. New cotton is already arriving pretty
freely at Memphis.
" We have fewer complaints from North Mis-
sissippi than there appear to reach New Orleans
from the river counties of that State. A planter
from the interior informed us a few days since,
that his crop looked unusually well, and that
the yield would exceed an average one,Provided
the weather continued fair"

manifestation spontaneously pursuing ior'h ~
every quarter Of the land, of the spirit when
achieved the victories Of those two memorable
DAYS at Saratoga AMI Yorktown.
From the first organization Of ihe Govern,
ment ofthe United States under their present
constitution, until very recently,a sense OF dc
corurn universally prevailing has forbidden
President of The United States from all active
| or even indirect canVassing ofvotes for himself
and has alike interdicted the exercise oil lnilu-
ence by any preceding President upon the eiec-
ton of his successor. have not ieit myseii
at liberty to depart from this rule, ana there-

Presidential election. / deem ii my duty to

stituents, even by letter, as had occasionally
done before; but which could noA have failed
al this time to be attributed to the desire OF IN
iuencing the election Of the President, or even
to a motive still more selfish and sordid. u IS

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
True it is. as Mr.. ADAMS observes, that
until pery recently sense of decorum has forbid
den an ex- President of the United States from
interfering in the election of his successor. 1t
was reserved for General JACKSON TO set a
pernicious example, in this as in all other re-
spects, Ws'agree with Mr.. PIcKENs OF South
Carolina, on this'subject. With him we are
prepared 10 deneunce the interference of Cen
eral JACKSON in the election of Mr.. VAN
buren,, as furnishing of itself, sufficient in
ducement of uncompromising opposition and
unceasing hostility to his administration. We
desire no better ground of hostility to any
President, than the fact that he is the creature
| of his predecessor.
1t is worthy Of remark, that at the same time
we received the admirable letter above publish
ed, the Washington Globe brought long
harrangue OF General JACKSON delivered on his
electieneering tour in TENNESSEE, full of
vuglar slang about Federalism, and Adolf
tionionism, and the Hartford Convention.

STEAM Conference.-The steamboat
Missouri, navigating lake Michigan, was late
ly strurk by lightning, and we see it stated in
several papers, that this is the first instance of
the kind since the commencement OF steam
navigation This is mistake. Some twenty
wears since, steamboat, whose name we do
not TecolIect, while working off steam at the
wharf in Savannah, was struck by lightning,
and the sudden conversion. by electricity, of
the water in her boilers into steam, caused
them to burst.
Steam is the most powerful conductor Of
electricity known. Ifa current ofthe electric
fluid is passed along brass rod, and current
of steam directed across it at right angles, the
steam will become charged with electricity,
the rod cease to convey beyond the point of in
tersection. Hence, the escape pipes of high
pressure steamboats,, are greater protection to
boats in thunder storm, than lightning rods
would be, and the only danger 10 be appEehen-
ded in such cases, is that the electric fluid
should be attracted in such large quantities, as
not to be Immediately conducted by the ma
chine into the water, and the instantaneous
generation of steam in the boiler, from this
cause, may cause them to explode; as was the
case of the boat at Savannah.
