The death of the Hon. CHARLES SHEP.
ARD. one of the attorneys of this Court, being
made known to the members of the bar then pre-
cnt, attending the Superior Court of Beaufort
they met together e express their sense of the loss
occasioned by his death to the profession OF which
he was member, when his Honor, Judge Pear
son, was called to the Chair, and Edward Stanly
appointed Secretary
Fhe following resolutions were then offered
by Mathew Shaw, Esq, and unanimously adopt
ResoIUed That amid the various saddening and
affective dispensations of Divine Providence, no
event has recently come to our knowledge OF a
character to produce in our minds feeling OF
more deep and poignant regret than that just made
known. Mr. Shepard's transactions with us were
characterized by an elevation and-dignity OF sen.
timent, an eminence of intellectual and moral
worth that constituted him, in our opinion, an
ornament to his profession; SO that by his death
in the prime Of life, we have sustained no ordinary
bereavement, and society has lost one OF Its most
useful and distinguished members.
| ResolUed That testimonial OF our person
al respect, and in memory of his virtues, we Will
wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty
fdays.
Resolred, That a copy of these, resolutions
be transmitted to the friends of the deceased. IN
testimosv of our coincidence and sympathy Tor
their bereavement
| ResoIred, That these proceedings be signed
| by the Chairman and Secretary and published NJ
the public journals Of this town.

THE Cotton Crop I, is not very pleasant TO-
an editor to be the harbinger of bad news, but we
have frequently in the course ofehe fall expressed
the opinion that the cotoncrop Of the present sea-
son would be a shortone. The stats Of the wealth
er for the last few days cenvinces US that our
worst anicipatioas Of the craR were better than it
really will be.
From six o'clock on "Wednesday night tiA nine
on Thursday morning, We had the most incessans-
ly heavy rain we have any recollection Of On
Alohday night it also rained heavily for several
hours, and owing to the fact that the eotsoG open
ed unusually lAe, and consequently much of it be-
ing open during THESE rains, we think the crop
seriously injured Thursday night and Friday
morning, the weather was cold enough for a
northern climate, and on Saturday morning there
was q heavy frost, which injured the crop still
more. ~ are l-e 311-
We have seen several planters whe inform US
that the late rains were general and that the crop
is seriously injured Our Red River and Ona.
chita LA accounts report The crop in those sec.
tions extremely short. The Charleston papers
speak of short crops in Carolina, while those of
Georgia, as we'll as private reports, announce al
most total failure in portions ofthat State From
the besSinformation we can gather we have no
doubt that the crop of the present year will fall
from six TO seven hundred &housand bales short of
that of last year, which was fraction under2, 400,
900 bales This rs bad news, but we believe that
we are fully within the mark.

Unhappy womant reclining upon a cOuch-=with

many among US, she had so devoted them to wealth.,
to pleasure, to pride and ambition, that her whole

TRUE AS PREACHING.

The Oxford Mercury, speaking of one branch Of the
loco army claiming the credit of having passed the
Tariff bill while the other damns 1t ruinous and op-
pressive, says that the southern democrats '~eud be
perfectly satisfied seat Mr.. CahoaR upon protected
cotton bales with protected sugar cane IN bus noah
and with his free trade banner uRured to Ihe wind, TO
gaop him rough sod the Interests OF every other
branch of industry in the country.
If his be specimen of the I" true preaching to
which the Editors of the Patriot are accustomed,
We pity their souls The whole scope, meaning
and intent of the article is untrue. No portion Of
the democratic party claims credh for having pas
scd the present tariff law. On the contrary, they
repudiate and condemn it. Mr. Van Bnren says
he is opposed to it in every sense, and MIR. Cal
houn voted against it. The democratic party,
whether headed by the former or the latter gentle
man, are equally favorable to oil the great inter
ests of the country, and decidedly opposed to any
system which is unequal and unjust in its opera
ton Can as much be said for MIR. Clay and the
leaders of the Federal party2 They passed the
present black tariff; in some sections they approve
of it. and in others they endeavor to cast it eff
among the lords of capita they go for ii, and IN
the South they go for revenue tariff. "All
things to all men'-this is their motto. They
aoant rotes-this is the secret. They want
votes, and therefore they shuttle, equivocate, and
set humbugs in motion But the people are find
ing them out and the grand day of reckoning
is rapidIy approacbinp
