SLAVES RUNNING HOME AGAIs.-The
Delaware Gazette states that the seven slaves
who sometime since ran away from Mr.
Calvert, of Prince Georges county, applied
at the wa'ch-house for lodgings, in that city,
few nights since, stating that they had
been to pennsylvania, were tired Of freedom,
and were trying to get back TO their master
They stated that they had been decoyed of
by white man, whose name they did not
know, by specious promises and delusive
hopes, and that they much preferred living
with Mr.. Calvert as his slaves than to lead
the life they did after they reached their
destination, and desired to be sent home.
The mayor had them lodged in jail at New
Castle, and sent dispatch by telegraph to
their owner, who had them removed to his
home.

The annual Fair ofthe Montgomery County

1t was numerously attended by as fine
looking people as we could desire to be-
hold-beautiful women ard sterling men,
possessing practical intelligence of supe-
rior order, and evincing deep ;n,eres. in
the objects of the exhibition The array
of the products Of their industry was credit
able in the hlg hest degree, and reflects honor
upon county that has so nobly elevated
the reputation of its people by the deveI-
opement of the capabilities Of soil so late
ly regarded as impoverished and barren.

If The rain which visited US so abundant

we fear, most disastrous in its effects. Ow-
ing 10 the late planting, very little tobacco
was in a state Of sufficient forwardness to
escape frost, occurring at an average period,
and there was much ground for apprehen-
sion that even this lille would be destroyed
by firing. Already This bane of the planter
had commenced lis ravages, and their hopes
even of moderate crop rested upon the
prospect Of dry weather and late fall

"NEw ORLEANS. Sen IT,

We clip from one Of our Southern ex-
change papers the following:
TUE TOBACCO CRor.-The GAINESVILLE
(Tennessee) Ch&onicle says:
The reports from the Tobacco crop in this
and the surrounding counties in Kentucky
represent the prospects as much worse than
have heretofore been supposed. The best
informed planters state that the prospect is
worse than it has been since 1886. All the
testimony we receive corroborates this as
ser'on. Everything has conspired 10 aflcc,
the crop unfavorably.
The lateness Of the season. which pre-
vented The planting Of The beds in many
cases, and destroyed whole beds that were
planted. early, was the first cause This was
followed by long continued season of dry
weather, which prevented the transpanling,
during which time the flies were working
destruction in The plant beds. This was
succeeded BY a season too wet TO be favor
able; added to this the injury by wrench
ing, the tobacco fly, grasshoppers and
worms, and we have the history Of crop
which for leanness and deficiency has no,
been seen for years. This state of things
is not confined to this country, bu, appears
to be general throug houl the principal grow
ing States.2 Virginia presents similar state
of things, as we learn from a circular Of n .
NJ. Martin & Co.
The Hopkinsville Press adds the follow
ing.
lQn the suffice! of the Tobacco crop, we
have conversed with gentlemen who have
visited a great portion of the Green river
country, and they assure us that for the rea-
sons stated above it is utterly impossible
that half crop can be made-indeed, in
many cases, the planter will not realize 100
pounds. 10 the acre.

Peon Slavery in Mexico is thus described
by letter writer a! Eagle Press, on the

Any body of a. working class can be
sold for deb. in Mexico, and these poems
receive the wors. fare and hardest trealmen,
of any slaves on this continent. When they
get This side Of the river, they should be free,
bu. are often too .imid and ignorant (espe-
cially the women:) TO avail themselves Of
the fact.
They are quiet, respectful, we'll spoken

PoTATo RoT.-T'he potato crop Of New
England is seriously injured by the rot
The Boston Mail says:
"From every par, Of Massachusetts,, from
sections Of country in Vermont, New lamp
shire, and IN Maine, comes the boding crv
of the loss of this chief food for man. The
accounts of the destruction by the rot from
some sections are most disastrous and me-
Iancholy. Whole fel,ls-,housands upon
thousands of bushels--have, suddenly, as
il were, become one putrid mass. Field af-
Ter field, yet unharves,ed, are rendered nau-
seons, by the loalhsome rotten crop beneath
their surface"

crop throughout the West is total failure
The ST.. Louis Republican says the corn crop
in that State will also be failure.
