Warren.-The stand is in many places less favor
able than last year-crops on mum Der OF plantations

Lssaquena-Very little cotton will be raised in
consequence of the overflow and cold rains.
Washington-The overflow has done immense
damage. The crop will be much lighter than for
several years past.
MarsiaM-Every thing is unfavorable for the crop
this season. There will be great falling oil.
De Soto.-Few expect to realize more than third

Lafaysts-A very gloomy prospect Is before lore the ne

WHIG MEETING IN PHILADELPHIA--GEN.T TAYLOR
AND Mr.. CLAy-GREAr TuMuLr. There was one
phia, at the Chinese Museum, on Monday night.
Joseph r. Ingersoll presided, and William B. Reed
introduced the resolutions, supporting them with
speech. The resolutions fully and ardently sustain
ed Governor Johnston and General Taylors admins
tration he meeting having been called for that pur-
pose went strongly for protection and called for the
instant admission Of California. They adopted,
without division; and after speech from Joseph r.
Chandler, the following scene took place, according
to the Pennsylvania:
Then came cries for various people, but the cry for
Gibbons was the most vociferous; and Gibbons took
the stand He is bold, fearless, and rather pleas
ing speaker-biter against the democrats, but by no
afraid to avow his opinions. He spoke of the
meeting, shrewdly eulogized Old Zack, and then
pressed his amazement that resolutions in favor Of
whiggery and protection should contain no ausion to
the father Of the American system. Here the cheer
ing was positively deafening. At our side were a
number of excited wings, who almost hugged each
other, and it was soon apparent that the Clay boys
cry reference. no matter how indistnct, to the Ken
tuckian the very walls seemed to quake. He spoke Of
efforts that had been made to ALLEVIATE Clay from Tay
or, and rersa, in thsthe city. too, where, of all
others, Clay was most beloved. His speech could
scarcely he heard for the cheers with which it was
greeted Finally, he announced that in order rem
edy the omissions in the resolutions, he had prepared
certain Others expressive of whig sentiment in this
city. [Here the whole meeting rose up and shouted
for Clay.]
He accordingly read, in loud, distinct voice. two
three resolutions ardenty in favor Of Clay, and di
rectly endorsing his recent efforts in favor of the
Union.' They also deprecated efforts made by an
onymous writer's and newspaper editors to create had
feelings among the friends of Taylor and Clay. The
resolutions were received with many cheers, and loud
cries for "Reed,'' Reed" "ques,ion," question:"
were now heard. But Mr.. Reed got the floor, and
made speech against the Gibbons resolutions: He
said he in favor Of Clay. Ia dead silence follow
ed.] He said whig energies had been wasted upon
Clay, numerous cries Of "no - - no!''']
hoped the Gibbons resolutions would not commit
wings to the Clay compromise, Cdead silence. And,
finally, he begged of his friend to modify the last
olution, by striking out all reference to anonymous
writer's and newspaper editors. He was followed by
Gibbons, who agreed to amend the resolutions as de-
sired, and in this shape they put and carried
amid perfect explosion of prolonged cheers.
The above report. though from democratic source,
is not inconsistent with the .whig, accounts; The
Pennsylvania says, in addition, that the idea had
go, out previous to the meeting that it was indirectly
intended to oversaugh Henry Clay; but that. in view
of the result, he has achieved greater triumph
in that city. Bali. Sun.

Il have watched your course with great interest.
am politician. and, fatter myself sufficient
y above party bias to view events dispassionatey.
Your whole course on the compromise question is
commendable.
We must take things as they are, and not as we
would have them, and shape conduct according to
exigencies. 1t would have been folly to have insis
ted on what you and may regard strictly south
ern rights. Nothing could have been obtained by
that course. If the compromise can be adopted our
honor at least is SAFE Indeed it the princ-
pie for which We have been contending. The mass
Of the southern people would be content with it.
True, it does not suit all men. Gould you do
anything that would please all even of your own par
ty! think not. Ultra men can never be pleased;
= Take my word for it, conservative men will
approve your course. The wings generally approve
it, and the moderate men of your own party. In Short
think it will be approved by the people,"
Judge Sharkey is evidently not pleased with the
i" Adjustment, but he is disposed to take it the
best that can be got. under the circumstances.

LATE FROM CUBA.

by the arrival of the schooner Merchant at Charles
ton We have Havana dates to the 30th. The United
States steam frgate Saranac, Capt. Tatnal, arrived
at Havana on the 26th ultimo, with important dis.
patches for the Captain General of Cuba and Gen.
Campbell, the American Consul.
1t seems that several Spanish vessels had taken
from Contoy, Yucatan, number of Americans, who
were there, as it is supposed on their way join the
invaders; and these vessels conveying them as
prisoners to Havana. On receipt of this intelligence
the United States sloops-ofwar Albany and German
ton lying Havana, put off to intercept these ves-
sells and demand release of the Americans. They
met them few hours sail from the Moro, and were
about exacting their release, says the Charleston
Mercury, at the cannon's mouth, when the Saranac
coming up, an interview took place between Capt.
ratnall and Commander Randolph of the Sloops, af-
ter which the Spaniards were allowed to take their
prisoners into Havana. The Mercury adds:
"Five of those taken at Cardenas, under Lopez,
were shot at Matanzas few days previous to the
sailing of the Merchant. Four of the number were
said to be Scotch and Irish and one an American, "a
boy,) who stated to the last that he joined the expe
dition under the impression that it was going to CAL
ifornia, and that he had idea of invading Cuba.
The Merchant left in port the United States steam
frigate Saranac, and sloops-ofwar Germantown and
Albany. The conduct of our Consul at Havana,
under the trying circumstances which surround him.
is spoken of in the highest terms.'
The Republic, the organ of the Administration,
warns the Cuban authorities agans, any undue H.
legal severity towards these prisoners, who had not
actually engaged in the invasion. The authorities
are said to be greatly embttered against the Ameri
cans. The President, it is said, has given orders to
our war-vessels to protect such Americans as have
been seized without the Jurisdiction of Spain and
they have been demanded of the Captain-General

LUNATIC ASYLUM,


The ground for this building has been laid off, on
Dix Hill, near this City, and Mr.. John R. Harrison
s now engaged in making the necessary excavations
for :he foundation. Mr.. Lane, of Rockingham, is
making the brick, Mr.. McNight, of Greensborough
s to lay them; and Mr.. Colburn has contracted for
the stone-work. The woodwork has not yet been
let out. Surely Carpenters will not permit it to
be taken out Of the place. They. We doubt not. can
do it we'll it could be done by others. and at as
cheap rates and it is their interest to make arrange
ments for putting in their:bids. We should dislike
especially see this work in the hands of Northern
Mechanics.
The site for this Asylum is the most commanding,
perhaps, in the vicinity of the place; and if good
supply of water, essential in such Institution,
be found, the location will doubt out to be
most favorable one. The building will be in full
view of Raleigh, and is to be, when completed about
six hundred and eighty feet in length.
The amount appropriated, by the law of the last
session, for the grounds, buildings, &C., is about $780,
600. We suppose it will be two years before the
building is finished and ready to be occupied.
