THE CRoPs.-The Sumter (Ala) Wing Of
the 2Oth ult. says the cotton crop of tn county
cannot be full one, though there is no doubt
of its being n much better one than that of Last
year.
The Linden (Ala) Free Press of the Goth ult.
says that the cotton crop of Ma:engo county
this year, it is supposed by many planters, will
be near an average one, but the corn crop will
fall far short Of that mark.
The Columbus (Miss.) Democrat of tha Goth
ult. has the following:
The prospects good cotton crop have mate
| rally declined in the last two weeks in this sec
ton Of country. While some of our planters
| who have keen blessed with light showers still
hope Tor full crop, the indications are gener
orally umfavorable, owing to the destruction of
the late crop not only by the worm, but also by
the falling of squares in consequence of long
drought.
The Vcksburg Whig of the Gath ult. says:
We have conversed with number Of planters
living in different parts of thi (Warren) county,
who all represent the boll-worm as being very
destructive to their cotton. One planter says
he counted thirty bolls on single stalk, pierced
by the worms, and that in u field of ten acres Of
new land that had been topped, and the tops
put into bags and carried off and destroyed ac-
cording to tho recipe published by us some time
since for destroying the boil worm From this
it will be seen that neither topping cotton nor
new land, is proofagain this destructive insect.
We take the following from the Greensboro
(Ala.) Beacon of the oath ult
Except on the rich black and bottom lands,
the cotton has been suffering for want of rain
greatly for the last three weeks. Several sandy
land planters have assured us this week, that the
crops in their neighborhoods arc not likely to
turn out better than last year. Picking COM

Cool lMpUDENCE.-It will be remembered by
our readers that. n few days ago, we alluded to
the fact that valuable mad-servant, the prop
crty Of Robert G. Stanard, ESQ, of this city rad
drcamped to p,rts unknown, having taken
"Frcnch leave" Of Mrs: Stanard, during late
visit with her mistress to Newport Rhode Island.
As we referred to the matter an item of
news, in addition to giving further warning to
our Southern friends not to take valuable slaves
with them to the North, unless they desired to
get rid Of them. we thought nothing further OF
the affair until We received by Mondays mail
the New Bedford (Mass) Standard with the
subjoined paragraph marked for our perusal:
"The slave Jane, who left Mr.. Stanard at
Newport lately, is now in this city. The Rich
mond Republican is informed that there is no
fears here that Jane will die Of starvation and
Mt She is well satisfied with her situation
in n land of freedom, and has no desire to return
to nominal bondage in Virginia"
We should think the Standard was about fit,
in grammar and impudence, to be the organ of
runaway negro.-Rich Republican.

Constitution of New Mexico.

One of the letters to the ST. Louis Republican
says:
81 am satisfied that we will have good Con-
stituton and one entirely suited to this peculiar
people"
The ST. Louis I1atelligencer supposes the
movement of Texas has FASTENED the organiza-
ton of State Government, and publishes an en-
tract of letter from Major Kandrick of the U.
S. Army as follows:
The Constitution is in fuU blast. The Con
siitution wiU probably be on us aoay 10 WoShing-
ton IN thirty5fre days. 1t prohibits slavery
Whatever may be thought of of the policy, or the
justice OF the prohibition, beyond all question it
expresses the will Of Observation-Disclosures OF
the inhabitants of New Mexico. The three
points upon which these people are most ener-
getic are taxation, which they dislike slavery,
which they hate; and Texas, which they most
cordially abhor."
The Lltelligencer adds:
''Tee State Of Neao Meaico Another bone
of contention for our Congress to pick. But
those New Mcxicans must be attended to. The
late locofoco administration took their oatIs of
allegiance: and thought they are not sgood look
ing" we suppose they must ''come in.''

Fire on the Steamer Gtobe.--The Cleveland
PlaindeaIer of the 4th instant gives the follow
ing particulars Of the fire on the Steamer Globe,
when off Saginaw Bay, on her last trip down
July lst. They were derived from Mr.. STACY,
passenger on board.
He says the first alarm OF fire was given about
half past o'clock on Monday evening He
went below and found hands at the brakes with
three streams of water flowing into the hold
She had caught under her ash-pan and it had ex-
teuded back under the boilers so that there was
no other way but to flood her. For two hours
they lat in the water, when it reached as high as
her boilers and extingushed the fire. OF course
there was no panic on board. Every passenger
had something in hand on which to float, mat
rasses, chair, stand and settees were taken pos
session, and the chambermaid actully got her
life preserver on blown up, with chair under
each arm ready for voyage. The boat, how
ever, was well supplied with water works. and
under the GOODNESS of Capt. Robinson they were
we'll applied, so that she sustained no material
damage.

crime deliberately. The previous petition from
Professor Webster, protesting his innocence and
Playing for absolute pardon, be said, was up by
his family who were unwayerng in their belief
in his innocence, until his confession was COM

MIR. EDITOR Another fourth of July has
Just past over us, and it would seem from re-
cent manifestations that we are quite ready to
forget the Revolution and absolve allegiance TO
its principles. To say the least, Mr.. Editor. 7
do not think the way in which we Kenoshians
SHIELD the 4th,' very honorable to ms or sour ru-
lers,' even if we were so cold-hearted as to feel
no gratitude. yet it is clear that great benefits
have been conferred, that we ought, at least, like
the heirs at funeral to have kept up decent
ceremonial.
1t is strange, Mr.. Editor, what great effects
flow from apparently small causes; had the OBJ
tanning of few Offices been connected with the
celebration, what noble love of liberty would
have been manifested, what display of wide
awake patriotism should we have seen. As it
happened, no Declaration of Independence was
read no generous tribute to the memory of the
patriots OF the Revolution was paid. Alas, Mr.
Editor, that 1t should be so, for nothing can show
proper valuation of liberty better than graft
tude to the memory of those who conferred it.
"As eternal vigilance is the price of freedom
have been sorry to see how little political priv
ileges are valued by many amongst US; how lit
tie OF watchful care is exhibited, even while
other nations are striving through blood and tears
to obtain them, and reminding US of what the
Fathers OF the Republic did and suffered in their
day--while many Americans of our time. who
never strained muscle for freedom. are luxuri-
ating on its benefits, and MANY FOREIGNERS who
have found an asylum from oppression. and have

loice in and celebrate the return fits one annn-

We have read Benton's Speech on his motion
to postpone the further consideration of the Om-
nibus Bill to day certain beyond the term of
the present Congress. It's main point is the
wrong OF connecting five or six propositions of
different character in one bill for the purpose of
securing the passage of those which are obiec-
tionable, by the strength of those which are not.
California, he contends, is fairly entitled to adj
mission on her own merits, and none can or dare
say her, Nay; and hence to make her the scape-
goat to carry the sins of the whole South TO the
wilderness, is an imposition. Verify, we think
SO too, and so doubtless does every one who takes
the trouble to think. If the other propositions
which are in this Omnibus Bill are in themselves
just, they can have no difficulty in standing on
their own merits. The fact that they are tack
ed on to this California Bill is pretty good evil
dence that in themselves they are rotten, ard
hence, certainly, all well-disposed men should
oppose them. He analyses pretty thoroughly
this claim of Texas to New Mexico, and shows
clear as light its preposterous character. He
denounces it as an effort to extend slavery over
$4,000 square miles of territory, now free
COL Benton is an excellent man for the time.
but he is no sort of a man for eternity. As to
comprehonding, or feeling any of the enormities
OF the system which he is battling, after his own
fashion, if we may take his own expressions, he
is about as far from it as Senator Foote. He is
evidently, however, at present, the strong oppo-
nent OF the slavery propagandists, and he will
maintain the breach till better men can get a
icdgment, and establish better and higher views.
We are thankful for him, and hope he may
prove successful
