For The ddrerfiscr,

Mr.. EDlTon.-We certainly would not know.
inglY misrepresent the conduct or principles
nf any. gentleman; and were we to do so
through inadvertency. nothing would give us
more pleasure hanto make the proper correc-
tion In fact, we dare say. that we hat never
made any public expression OF nur humble
views, in respect to our Senatorial election,
had not the friends of Col. Pickens CONNIE need
the intolerabie system ofduping and abusing
the public mind.
II was their first effort to misrepresent the
politics of.Mr. Wardlaw. This would seem
10 argue that they dread toboId out in fair and
boldreliefthe talents Of their friends, and bring
to bear the legitimate evidences ofhis merit.
But. as we do moi take pleasure in the shame
Of any one, we will not exact a test by fair chi
uque, or. call in by any means, some very
screaming magnloquence. Yet Unjust say, that

had the warmest weather, we ever recoi1lecs ss,1e

ple,ed the destruction OF. the Corn crop and
gardens, in the yicini,y this village We had
fine rain on Saturday evening, butzwe fear

Some Of our farmers have commenced pulling
fodder. fearfai, no doubt, that they VIII lose H.

The following extract Of a letter, received by
1he editor, shows thatthis part Of our District
is not alone in its sufferlngs:
"HIeeMs' FERRY, July 30.
awe have had very dry spring and sum-
sner 'thas far, in this section, and. as acotise-
quence, crops look very sorry, especially Corn.
The weather, too, fol the most part, has been
very warm. On Sunday the 7th inst, the
thermometer stood at 90 degrees, att O'clock
pm, in the shade, and would, no doubt. have
risen above 100 degrees, if brisk breeze had
mot sprung up about that time. This was the
warmest day that we have had, in a, least three
summers past"
The Augusta Sentinel of the 23rd inst. states
that "for some weekspast the weather, in this
quarter, for intensity of heat, might well have
been deemed "first best Within the last
week, however, frequent falls of rain in the
country round about US, and for the past two
.daysa gentle shower or two in our city, have

"As to the health Of our city, we are happy

of Vincent Sims, in Mr.. Reynolds Lane,
who was murdered by three brotbers,
Lewis James and John MLendou. The
facts, as far as we can learn, areas fol-
lows: 1t appears tha, there has been for
some Time a misunderstanding existing
between the parties, and on the day above
mentioned, they all met al Darlington G.
H., where an:election was held for Ma
jor OF The Two Battalions. After The cleo.
tinn was over. Sims started for home, and

Lane. Lewis drew off his coat, anu chal.
lenged Sims 10 fight, which they did, anu
it is stated Sims got the better of his an-
tasonis,. james M'Lendon thensattacked
Sims and while they were engaged, Lew
is:stabbed Sims with a dirk, between the
9Th and 9Th rib, and otherwise dreadfully
beat him causing his death in about an
hour. The M'Lendons left their homes
next morning, and we are not aware that
either ofihem has been taken into cus,o-

On the evening previous 10 the above
dreadful occurrence, murder was com
mitted on the body of a Mr.. Hazelline,

Letit not be forgotten, ,ha, Henry Clay
while Secretary Of Stale in 1925, opened
negotiation with Mexico for the then
province of Texas; and that in 1927 he
renewed it. Mexico was then in state
of revolt against Old Spain !; hosliities
existed, aud i, was not till several years
after, that Spain acknowledge The lnde-:
pendence of Mexico. II was not then re Z
garded by Mr.. Clay as all act of agg.es-.
sion against the Spanish government.to
treat with revolted province, for Por--3
ton Of territory.
Several years ago, we acknowledged;
the independence Of Texas. We have
since sen, Commissioners 10 treat with her
on the suhjec, Of our respective bounda-
ries. five doubted her right 10 treat,
why did we do This! Or why did we moi
send our Commissioners to Mexico, in
stead of Texas, If we regarded the latter.
as belonging TO the former? T, 5.s.
Is not the inference fair one, that the
change in Mr.. Clay's opinions, has been
brought about, by the published declara--.
lion of John Quincy Adams, and bis CO.
adjulors in Congress, (all supporters Of
MIR. Clay,) thalibe free States would mol
submit to annexation, but would in that
event, dissolve the Union and be justified
in doing so? Does not his course in "A,
