 TIE GRoPs-The last Yazoo (Aii.) Whig states that the prospects of the planters in that part of the country have sadly changed within the last few weeks The tinuation of the most extraordinary and uneHampied drought known for many years has in many places all most ruined the crops. This the the upper end of the state. The drought being early and ate the up land cotton is not generally than third the hl size Planters say, that with the exception of bottom land, it is thing find field which promises half acrop In the Yazoo bottoms the crops better.
 We have had several rains the last few days which fear will seriously njure the cotton crops especially the early cotton which is opened. We hear of some complaint of the worm but hope it is not so bad is feared We believe ordinary crop of cotton and corn will be made in this section of country unless il should meet with some misiortune.-lSumpter( (Ala) Whig of Aug. 2S

COMMERCIAL REGIsTER
MOB lLE:
MONDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER {. ls4l.

WAsHINGToN, Aug Go' The fortifcatsn bill was calledup,bm owing to the ahsenee of the Chairman on Military Affairs, Mr. Preston. was passed over. The same thing has hap pened three times.
 Tho tarif bill was taken up. Mir. Clay of ken- ,,cky offered amendments-the lst to increase the ,lutv on watches, iewelry, Sc. from l2s to ZO per rent. This was opposed by Messrs. Calhoun, Wright ana King on the ground that it would induce snug ;no drive the far trader from the market, and im- ,,;r tho revenue The amendment was carried. The Senate then went into Executive session. IL is understood that the nominations of Col. Todd as Minister to Russia, Mir. Jenifer as Minister to Aus ,ri,. and of Col Wool as Brigadier Gene al were confirmed.
 The correspondent of the Charleston Patriot of this date, says;
 In case of resignation of the present Cabinet, il ,s said that the President would select C. Calhoun as Secretary of War; Mir Jones, of Va. as Secretary of inc Treasury; Mir. Wright for the State Depart Inent, and Major Hobbie, as Postmaster General. We are truly m very unenylabe state of affairs and il has been well said that the present IS crsls m our political history.
 In tue House the bill providing for the salaries and outfits of foreign Ministers, Sc. was taken up It IS as follows:
 For outfits of Ministers to Russia, Spain, Mexico and Brazil, and of charges d'aiares to Portugal, Denmark, Sardinia, Naples, Ch aud Texas, sixty three thousand dollars.
 For saIeries to ministers to Spain and Brazil foI the residue of the current year, eight thousand dol lars.
 For salaries of the secretaries of legation t' ,h- same places one thousand eight hundred dollars Mr. Ingerso moved to strike out the items fol Sardinia and Naples. He said these missions ori rinated in the House without Executive recommen fion and were useless. No return minister had eve come from Naples. He considered the mission a having been created more for the beneht ol person than for the country.

LATEST FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, August 30.
 We are flooded with rumors as to the probable course of the whig party, in Congress, the dissol- tion of the Cablnet the formation of party, Sc. It is now pretty certain that the "Fiscal Corporation will be passed by the Senate, and that immediately It is even said that they will pass it this day, the op- position being willing to forego any discussion. MT. Archer will vote for the bill, the gronnd that 1t is necessary to regulate the custody e the public money No doubt is now entertained by any one that the President will return it with his objections. He con siders it as liable, it sad of the constitu- tona objections winch he has heretofore indicated, and to be political measure, having less reference to the pubic good than to design to "fasten him. Rumor adds that he is disposed, at proper time, and after due deliberations to recommend to Congress scheme of Finance upon which both sections o the whig party unite.
 Speculation, however, is very busy in predicting the most uniavorable consequences from the second yeto A large portion of the whig party, including all the friends of Mir. Clay, will it is confidently said, unite in denouncng Mr. Tyler, and act, hereafter Tn opposition to hm. The states rights wing of the party, together with of the Harrison and Web ster men, aided by portion of the locos, will tien form the Administration party. No cabinet changes will take place during this session. The President would send his nominations to the senate m ther present temper. A change is confidently spokei of as likely to during the recess. The new dbl- net will, it is said, be composed of moderate wAigs, as distinguished from the ultra bank party of states rights whigs, and perhaps of more locos.- There has been rumor that Mir. Buchanan would be offered the State Department. But Mir. B's friends positively declare for him, that he will accept it.
 The President, it is said, present at very pleasant reunion of the Wings, at MT. Crittenden's house on Saturday night, and that the meeting be- tween the President and MT. Clay was very cordia
 Great excitement exists, at the North, at the op- position in the Senate, to MT. Everett's nomination. That nomination will probably be laid on the table It IS rumored that, in this case, Mr. Webster may be sent to England.
