Does the Mehite Register charge that tie Cres.
cent is an abolition paperl We wish no equivoca
ton in this matter. We will moi permit The insn-
uation TO be made by any paper conducted by gem
temen, without having the matter placed on right
footing. The charge eouertly made, is most odious
in itself, and SO far as the Crescent is concerned,
is base and wiful falsehoOd ; and if the editor of
the Register intended, by his article of Friday morn
ing, 10 make the charge against the Crescent, he is
at liberty to apply to that article the terms we have
used, and we shall be most happy TO give him any
redress. lfhe did not mean to convey the charge,
he will not apply the offensive terms 10 himself
His conscience will determine the issue. As for
ourselves, we "stand TO our arms.
We are at q loss to understand why the editor
of that paper should use language in regard to the
Crescent, susceptible of such an odious sense. II
the inference to be drawn from his editorial is, that
the Crescent is an abolition paper, then he has his
answer" if not, not"

The Cotton Crop.

Early COlton-William Nichol, Esq, OF this
county, yesterday gave us the first cotton boil we
have seen this season.-BaShviAe ADe, Arg. p.
Wonder when will this man begin to pick and
when will frost come. When planters Drag of the
first boil on August 2lst, we should incline to the
opinion that the picking will be soon over
Tile Hermitage Cotton.-We saw yesterday
some bolls of new cotton from the plantation oil
VIM. Doneson, Esq, in this county--we matured
and fully opened. The crop in that (he Hermit
tage) neghborhood, is unusually fine, and the plan
tiers expect to commence picking regularly by the
first of eptember.-NashUiAe Wing, Aug. %.
Noxubee county, Miss, August %.
We cannot make large crop under any circum-
stances but our people have, when compared with
the cotton growing region generally, been partcu.
larly unfortunate for four years past and we are
glad to notice the fact that this year bids fair to be
an exception to that rule at least.

The Mail Failnes.--By the last Charleston pa
pers We learn the cause of the repeated and annoy
ing failures of the mail for the last three or four
days For several days there was such gale be-
tween Wilmington and Charleston that at the
latter place. on the 9th ult., there were three
Northern mails due from the non-arrival of the
mail boats 1t is due to the post office department
TO state that most of the mail failures, which sub
iect us here to such serious inconvenience, occur
between Wilmington and Charleston caused by
gales along the coast. The boats in the mail ser.
vice between those points are, we understand, old,
very unsubstantial, and not able to stand heavy
sea. Better and stronger boats should be required
to be put on the line; or, otherwise, let the Rail-
road, between Wilmington and Columbia, so much
talked of, he completed This we consider of the
greatest Importance. Congress should aid, by a
liberal appropriation, to effect This object, if such
aid is needed By the way, we shonld like 10

Tue PICTORIAL FIELD Book TIE REVOLUTION.
Morgan has sent us this, the fourth number of
this truly American work. This number is chiefly
occupied with the Canadian campaign. But when
the painter has reached Quebec, the historian very
properly recites the victory of Wolfe, as well as
the defeat of Montgomery. The monument erect.
ed by Congress in ST. Pauls Church, Broadway,
NewGOrk, in language unusually modest for an
epitaph, tells the story of the hero's fate We
have never passed the obeliaI without paying the
tribute due to the martyr for American freedom.
The march of Burr and Arnold through the will
demess of Maine was one Of the most arduous
feats of modern warfare The historian mentions
the melancholy fate of Father Ralle, a Catholic
missionary, settled among the tribe of Norridge
wock, whom he had Chrstianized and allied to
the French. In 1924 an expedition from Mas
sachuseus attacked the village and destroyed the
tribe. The good Father was killed with his con-
vers, About twenty years ago the Catholics
erected a simple monument in the beautiful valley
where the village and church had stood. The re.
igous bigotry of the neighborng population led to
its partial destruction, but We think it has been
restored. The painter has given the falls on the,
Kennebee; he should have given the valley of the
missionary.

The AHedged Southern Plot.-The Washing
ton Union has the following in reference to the
aledged plot between some of the Americans and
some of the Mexieans, 10 attach Mexico to por
ton of the Southern States, and to form Southern
coniederacy;
We again pronounce the whole plot to be a
humbug. We have contradicted it once on the
authority of General Houston and we now subioin
the contradiction of Gen. Rusk Just before Gen
Houston visited Texas during the last winter, he
received a written sheet, which was altogether
anonymous. There was no name to vouch for lis
statements propositions. He left it with his col.
league to read and give his opinion of it and it was
not until his return several weeks after that it was
returned to Gen. Houston, with the endorsement,
Humbug." Gen. Rusk, in fact, considered il
as the emanaton Of some crazy person, utterly
unworthy of the slightest notice. Such was the
character of this idle plot 1t related to the scheme
