MARY Roc ERs.-The only new fact in regard to the cruel murder of this young lady is in the following extract from the police report of the Courier & En- quirer: s.-tee
 "We are pleased be able to state, that at length
 clue has beyond all doubt or cavil been discovered which will lead the detection of the perpetrators of this dreadful outrage. All the afidavits and exam- nations heretofore taken, have no bearing whatever on the case, and the mother of the unfortunate deceased has confessed that the recent discovery is the only that shed light upon the fate of her daughter.
 The Reporter is not a, liberty state all that has been told to him the subject, but he is authorised to say, that officers now pursuit of who was seen at Hoboken with Miss R. on the afternoon of the 25th of July (he day she murdered,) and that he was heard quarrclling with her. The inves- igaton has been followed up with the most scrupu- ous minuteness, to leave shade of doubt as to his guilt, by the gentleman to whom the nity owes the arrest sf the notorious scoundrel that ever escaped the gaows, and he is entirely vinced that the person sought for is the guilty party" I,..
 To.day's mail says the person above alluded, is named Morse, Taylor by trade, who was appre- hended in Massachusetts Afidavits were made that he had beea seen quarreling with Miss Rogers at Hoboken on the Sunday she was murdered.

 SHORT CRoPs.-We regret learn the certainty, that many fine prospects Of good crops have been basled- We have been allowed to publish the following extract of letter describing the prospects, of the crops on three plantations in Adams county;
 Il am now satisfied the three places will not do more than ITS b. against 4sl last year, and in making this estimate calculate largely the product from the bot tom ands-wheh as yet have not suffered any thing Ike the the hills have On 9lOth of the Upland there neither forms blossoms, and will get nearly all the bos the first time going over We must make some thing from the second growth to give us 775 h. and nn less have rain soon will have second growth to do any good. Our prospect is truly gloomy, but nol much if any, than neighbOrs. In ls40 had this time abundance of forms and blossoms. Now you may ride 100 without seeing single form bossom."
 Extract of letter received in New Orleans from Nat
 chez, dated 18th instant
 "The accounts from the plands truly appalling The general opinion seems to be made that not more than third to half crop be nude, making all allow for second growth The stalk average, it IS said will be three feet high throughout the state One thing certain the drought has been greater than for ma ny years and consequently pasturag has been destroyed and forest trees dyingn
 Extract of a letter from Vicksbnrg, dated 18th inst.
 I have had to-day with several planters of this county who concur in opinion that the high lands will scarcely produce half crop"
 CRoPs IN FLoRIDA.-The corn crops on the Apaachi- cola river and tributaries particularly in Jackson is we learn abundant. The promises we'll though t much retarded by the late Spring rosts An aver age crop, however, may be confidently looked or-(St Joseph Times.
 The cotton crops seem destined this year to suffer from the insect that committed such depredaons upon last season. The bud has however not ap peared extensively il did last year, bnt on many plantations the cotton has been almost entirely devonred by them in few days after they made their nrst appear It is probably that the dry weather which seems likely continue may be instrumental in checking their progress.-l Cahawba Democrat, 2lst inst.

TENNEssEE.-The Nashville Union brings u, the full returns of the recent elections in that State The majority for Jones (the whig candidate for Gov ernor) is 3,264. In the fall election for President Harrison's majority was Il ,sO5-showing decrease in the whig vote, within few months of S545 votes
 In the Senate the democrats have IS members the whigs 12. In the House the former 36 the latter 39 members. One of these latter from Humphreys and Benton counties, stood pledged according the Nashville Union in favor of the democratic principles
 The aggregate of votes given in is lO,l29; in l840, it was 10, 769.
 Some of the whg papers, to account for their de- creased vote state that the returns exhibit an aggre- gate of 900 less that at the Presidential cleo ton. This is not true. The vote is ,562 less, and is best accounted for by the Uaon, which states that the democrats had little hope of that thou sands of them were not at the polls. If their full vote had been boiled, it is not at all improbable that Polk would have been elected Governor.
 In WIscoEsIN, Gen. Dodge recently removed from the office of Governor, has been elected Dele. gate to Congress.
