STATE OF LOUISIANA vs.. EXECUTORS OF joins
McDOsoGH.-This important case came mp for
trial yesterday before Judge Buchanan. Tho
States Of Louisiana and Maryland brought suit,
as our readers will remember, against the Execu'
tors of the late John McDonogh claiming hs i'm
mense property ander averment thai the be-
quests Of his will in favor Of the cities OF New
Orleans and Baltimore are illegal and void, from
their nature as well as from the incapaclty oil
those corporations to accept such legacles. The
State oil Louisiana was represented by the AtloI'
ney General Isaac Johnson. and by Messrs I'll.
more and King and Miles Taylor The State Of
Mary land was represented by Isaac johnson and
Messrs. Gilmore and King. The Executors ap.
peared through Christian Rouselius and Levi
Pierce. The City Of New Orleans by Randsll
Hunt and Messrs. CRADLE and Preux. Thomas
j. Durant appointed by the Court 10 repre-
sent absent heirs, excepted 10 the validity oil
service on him as binding TO the City of Balti-
more, he having correspondent with the author
ties OF that city, and received no authorization 10
act in their behalf The exceptions OF Mr.. Du.
rant were sustained, and the City OF Baltimore
was consequently without representative.
number Of witnesses weresexamined In the case.
NJ Grivot, Ego, attorney for the Executors, was
examined as to the revenue OF the estate. His
testimony excited good deal OF surprise In Court,
as it went to show that the gross receipts Of the
estate were only thirty eight hundred dollars per
for expenses of collection. The impression had
been very general that the income of Mr.. Melon.
ogh's estate was about two hundred thousand dol
lars per year There are many persons in the
State who have never enjoyed the reputation Of
being very wealthy, whose revenues exceed those
of Mr.. McDonoghs estate
The wonder is how, with comparatively 90 Inn
tied revenue, he could have acc1mulates so
large landed estate, as the taxes and the costs
Of preservation joined 70 the large price paid by
him for the property, would seem to have required
much greater sum than this yearly income
The object Of introducing this testimony was 10
show the impracticable and illegal nature of the
requests; as, with so small revenue, it would
take some two or three hundred years before the
annuities could be paid of and legacies IN favor
Of the cities take effect. In the meantime the
revenue being invested in property at compound
interest would absorb all the property ia the

The Savannah News has been permitted to make
the following extract from letter received in that
city, dated
JACKSONVILLE, (FIa.) Aug. 10, 1851.
GA vessel arrived here yesterday morning from
Cardenas, having made the passage in five days from
that port.
Although neither the Captain nor passengers, one
of them Spaniard, willing to communicate the
political of the Island from their conversation
it is clear that the fame of the revolution has caught
all over the Island.
1t was said in Cardenas when the vessel sailed that
the Government troops had had several encounters
with the patriots, of some importance, in which
the latter had completely routed the Spaniards,
killing about one hundred men, and capturing four
teen pieces of Artillery, which, without doubt means
a great deal.
They also confirm the rising at Villa Clara, Tr-
nidad, Santiago de Cuba, and Pinal del Rio; so
that there only remains to the Spanish Government
Havana and Matanzas in the Western department."
In addition to this, we learn that the brig Charles
Kershaw, arrived at Charleston on the 18th, with
Havana dates to the 9Th instant. Intelligence of the
sailing of Lopez in the Pampero had been received
in Havana, and had created the greatest excitement
All the Spanish of war in port had been ordered
to cruise along the coast.

WIG ABoL1T1oNlsM IN PENNSYLVANIA. The no.
torous Thaddeus Stevens, whose consistent efforts
in behalf of abolitionism we'll known to the whole
nation is taking active part in the Pennsylvania
canvass. Of course he susains with all his fanati-
cal zeal, the pretensons of his friend William F.
Johnston, the wing nominee for governor, denounc-
ing the Compromise, and justifying Governor John
stons course In pocketng the act of the Pennsylva
MIA Legislature which repealed that portion of the
of 1s47 which denied the use of ails for the safe
keeping of fugitive slaves. We make the follow
ing extracts from the letter of correspondent of the
Lancaster Intelgencer, giving account of wing
meeting at Millerstown:
1.-The famous general of the buckshot war, alias
woolly head chief, next called upon. His ap-
pearance greeted by hurrah for '1had. Ste
uens, for Washington and one for the 'Gettys
burg Idpe1OOrm!' The substance of his speech may
be Judged, as every knows his forte to be vile
slang and misrepresentation. He commenced with
a TRADE of abuse against great and good states
man, James Buchanan. The man who can speak so
meanly of the mighty and towering intellect of that
venerable statesman. sneerlngly allude to his
svery and time-frosted locks, must indeed be lost
to all sense of honor shame. But the foul and pol
luted low cowardly ,scurrous abuse
dealt out by such political demagogues-such anti
Observation-Disclosures whig abolition tricksters-
such disunion agitatots Stevens, against such men
Buchanan and BigAer, will never reach them the
very attempt is abortion, because OF intelli
gence, of common sense, be they whig democrat,
must deprecate such a course of procedure. Mr..
Stevens said that he voted for the ant-kidnapping
law, and felt proud in having done He also de-
Tended w. +. Johnston In his pocketing The bill for
the repe1lf the seventh sectiOn-;hat he had right to
do so. These remarks not approved by the
silver-grays present; but the management of the
meeting entirely under the control OF the woolly
heads they were compelled to swallow it. In touch
ing the compromise measure, he said that Gov John
ston was perfectly right in being in favor of its
peal, and that it should be repealed in the face of the
niger driver and Of all the charges of fanaticsm,
etc. Stevens concluded upon his favorte hobby of
abolitionism. How sensible wings endorse such
a man Stevens is much to be wondered at.''

Hesotued, That this meeting, assembled on the
SPOT composed of citizens resident upon the various
rivers and water directly interested in re-
opening Nag's Head Inlet, do reiterate the immense
Importance of the work. both to our State and to the
General Government-that the annual saving to the
State and to the commerce of the Government, beside
the saving of human life, will justify the enterprise
and that these considerations united, imperativeIy
demand that the work shall be done, and done imme.
diatey.
Resolved. That we have entire confidence and trust
in the Practcability of the work, upon the estimate
made by the Engineers who have examined and
ported upon the subject-and we believe that it is
work strictly National in its character and should
be completed at the of the Government Treasury.
ResoLUed, That as means to the attainment of
this object, desire keep this subject prominent
ly before the attention of the public, and for this pur
pose we recommend that Public Dinner be given

TENNESSEE.

William B. Campbell, the Wing candidate, has
been elected Governor of Tennessee by small ma
jority over Gov, Trousdale. Campbell has been a
soldier in his day, and bears about him the glitter of
military glory. But Trousdale is an older and bet
ter soldier than CAMPBELL and yet he is beaten. The
people of Tennessee like them both, presume, and
so they determined to give them both chance to
Gubernatoralize. A Knoxville Correspondent of the
Washington Union says: !" The democrats have I'M
questonaby elected the following six congressional
representatives. viz Johnson, Jones, Stanton, Saw
age, Polk, and Harris, who constitute majority of
the delegation. There is also strong probability
that Anderson (whig) is defeated. The Legislature
is still in doubt. The chances that there will be
democratic majority in the house of representatives,
and small wing majority in the senate.'

THE CROPS.
The Tuscaloosa Monitor of the
ALABAMA.

ALABAMA. The Tuscaloosa Monitor of the 3Ist
ult., says:
The corn crop through this whole section of coun-
Try is literally destroyed. Many of farmers are
cutting down ther entire crops for fodder whole and
large fields, in many instances. not afOrding single
ear or shoot. Corn has already been sold here we
understand at dollar and quarter per bushel,
and there is telling what its price will be before
the opening of navigation enables us to get supplies
from the seaboard.
The cotton crop is greatly injured by the drought,
and the probability is that it will be cut off onehaf
two-thirds. In the memory of the oldest inhabi-
tant, there never has been known here drought so
destructive.
MISSISSIPPI. A correspondent of the Mobile Tr-
bune, under date of Prairie Point, (Mss) August L,
says:
My information from Lowndes and Monroe coun-
ties is that their crops will yield about the
last year. l know the great number of msrepresen-
tons about the growing crop will prevent US from
getting the benefit Of increased prices for small crop
until it deveopes itself by necessity at the ports, but
allow me TO make prediction that the crop in Ala
bama and Mississippi will be short of 1850 and So
at least one hundred thousand bales.
LOUISIANA. The FarmervilIe (Union Parish) En-
quirer of the 24th ult., says:
M. w. o. Jones presented US with an open cotton
boil on Wednesday last, evidence, not of ia
vorabe season, but the reverse. The drought in all
this section of country, excepting few small ocai
ties has been Unprecedented. The corn is literally
burned up, and the cotton small, yellow and already
blossoming in the tops of the plants The prospect
is truly gloomy. Many planters will hardly make
more than will suffice to buy their provisions
Rain now will only partially restore the cotton-ony
late corn can be benefited by it. We understand
that in Jackson the crops are equally bad.
Texas. The Marshall Texian of July 26, says:
We have been fifteen years in the Cotton growing
States and we have never known drought so long
continued and disastrous. On very few plantations,
will there be even fair crop, while nearly all
others scarcely anything will be made. Many plan
tiers will not make than corn enough for bread
and if the drought continues few days longer the
Cotton crops will be almost entirely destroyed. 1t
is already SO far injured that scarcely fourth of the
usual yield will be realized.
