FOOTE AND BENTON.

We gave, in postscript Saturday, the extraordinary
application OF Mr.. Benton the legal authority for its
nterposition to protect him from any personal danger
for in this light we suppose it will be regarded by every
one, although, in form, it is recommendation that there
should be legalnvestgation Of the occurrence in the
Senate. This is but carrying out the vaorous excama
tons made by the Missouri Senator, when, after Mr..
Foote had been surrounded by Senators and had quietly
surrendered his weapon he cried OUT Let the ASSASSIN
shoot" His charge, that Mr.. Foote carried the pistol
the Senate chamber assassinate him, is sheey ri
diculous Who ever heard before that man, drawing
a deadly weapon upon another, who was in the very

Benton intended go up to Foote and make some sort

The Crops.


The Georgetown Is. C.) Observer, Of the 26th
ult, saye-We have only TO repeat what we said
last week, that the weather still continues very
warm, the thermometer reaching, on Monday, 90
Of Fahrenheit. The drought also continues. We
have had but slight sprinkle, not sufficient to lay
the dust. The corn is suffering greatly for the
want Of rain, and unless we get some soon, must
be materially injured. II is seldom that we have
had so warm and dry June. The rice is not in
jured by the drought, although a good rain would
be of no disadvantage 10 it. Since writing our ac-
count Of the creps, last week, we have been in
formed by several planters that the crop Of the dis
trict generally is by no means as good as usual,
and that unless a wonderful change come over the
rice, il will be short We may add, that so general
is the drought, that salt water is making its appear
ance in the rivers.
The Savannah (Ga.) Republican, Of the 9th
ult, says'-Accounts are pouring in upon us from
all sections Of the State, Of the disastrous appear
ance Of the cotton crops. We have taken particu-
lar pains te collect the most reliable information
from the principal cotton growing districts OF the
State, and all agree in the general tenor OF gloomy
prospects, One writer informs US, that the cotton
fields in the southwestern part Of the State present
an appearance Of actual blight, which may be at
tributed TO the GOODNESS in the early part Of the
season, which deprived il Of its healthy start then
the long continued drought, which produced an I'M
healthy appearances and now the ravsges OF The lice.
