THE CROPS.

-Cotion-Nheat-I0 Gacco-Ffuiks. The past
and present week has had a most favorable tendency
upon agricultural prospects in this region. Corn,
which has been standing still, is walking right
out of the field and holding its shooting joints up in
the world. Cotton is up and growing finely in this
and neighboring Counties, with good stands general
ly. Wheat looks well, and has commenced heading
beautifully; May wheat being already headed in most
places, and will yield good fold in all the middle
Counties of the State. The Tobacco crop in Gram
vile and on the Virginia border promises, up to the
present date be better than the crops of '49 and
80. There has not been good crop of Tobacco
raised in our Tobacco Counties in several previous
seasons, and it is confidently expected that
kers and chewers will be enabled to do something
for themselves low rates in their different habits
respectively for the next year.
There has not been good prospects for album
dant yield of various fruits in five years. and unless
a few young Hurricanes should visit US, we
will be fattened this summer milk and peaches to
the extent of wasicoats. Strawberries and cher
res red, and many rpening beautifully, and
if straw berries and won't satisfy the "Regiser,"
we hope he will remain unsatisfeG forevermore. Our
citizens have been feastng strawberries for two
weeks back and we wish no worse fare for the of
their happy lives.

CENTRAL RAIL ROAD.

The Directors of the Central Rail Road assembled
in this City on Monday last, and adjourned on Thurs
day. All the Directors were in attendance except
Gen. Means of Cabarrus
The estimates for the Road were submitted by the
Chief Engineer, Maj. Gwynn; and his able and ir-
teresting Report to the President and Directors of
the Company shall appear in next. 1t came to
hand too late to be published to-day. We have al
tempted summary of it, because it would be diff
cult to condense such document in less space than
that occupied by the Report itself, and because we
prefer, in matter of so much public importance, that
the Chief Engineer shall speak for himself in his
language.
1t is considered /" fixed fact - that this Road
will be built. This will be gratifying intelligence
to its numerous adv coates, while the people of the
State generally will rejoice if the work, when
peted shall meet the expectations of its projectors
and friends.
We presume the contracts will he let out and the
work commenced at early day.

DISTANCES.
LOUIS KossuTH AND ABDUL MEDJ1D.


Abdul Medid, the Sultan of Turkey, has now full
filled his promises of assistance and protection to Louis
Kossuth, Ex-Governor of Hungary, and the refugees
who sought Turkey temporary place of security.
The Sultan has prevented, through the vigilance of
his officers, the frequent attempts made to assassnafe
Kossuth, and constantly repeated, account of the
large rewards offered by authority of the Emperor of
Austria. He has furnished him and his few remain
ing friends, with the necessary Of support in
fact, treating them his guests in of the most
beautiful Towns in his Don nons. The Sultan has
deservedly won the admiration and respect of all
wll-thinking both sides of the Allan tic for
the protection generously and effectively granted
to these prosecuted and homeless exes. The time
allotted for their residence at Kutaah ends with the
present month of May and Abdul Medjid is said to
be willing assist kossuth and his friends 10 seek
a home here in the distant New World, where they
may rest secure from ihe knives of the Austrian
butchers. Our Government is reported 10 have Or
dered one of the vessels of the Mediterranean squad
to transport these distinguished Republicans,
the nations guests, hospitabe shores. In the
United States they will find cordial welcome; and
in the paths of private life, each will find that SYM
paihy and assistance to which their patriotism and
their suferings so strongly entitle them. We find
the following on this subject. in the Niagara News:
The American squadron will leave Naples in few
days for Spezzia. Commodore Morgan will transfer
his flag to the Cumberland. and it is expected the
American steamer Mississippi will leave Naples to
take up kossuth. Orders from Washington to that
effect are expected daily

Moses in Mount Sinai, saying: Speak unto the Chill

THK SOUTHERN RIeHTs CONVENTION. The Con-
yention of Southern Rights Associations concluded
its labors yesterday with the adoption of the Resolu
lions and Address of the Committee Of 81. The test
vote was on substituting the report of the minority OF
The Committee. 1t Willie observed that the Two are
not anagonistic, but only different notifications OF
the same idea of resisa nee to wrongs. Tho motion
10 substtue received but small support; and that be-
inc disposed Of the Resolutions and Address were
adopted almost unanimously. The importance of this
action, and degree of unanmity that sustained it, can
not well be overestlmated. The Convention was
composed of near FIVE hundred deegates-the picked
men of every part of the State. Bound by no law
but their own strong sense of what due to them:
selves and the cause they maintained, they passed
through the ordeal of four days. earnest discussion
without an instant ct unSeemly disorder without the
smallest appearance of wavering in the strength OF
their convictions, and without symptom of impa-
thence at the expression elaborate, eloquent and ear
nest, OF opinions at variance with those OF the well
known majority of the meeting. We have been deep
y impressed with this dignity of bearing of the Con-
vention, from the first day of its session. 1t struck
all spectators it was emphacally commended by
the President, in his concluding address in reply to
the resolution of thanks himself, cordially adop-
ted and richly deserved. In every aspect there
fore,n the generality of the representation of the
State by this body in the largeness of its numbers
In the quality OF the men; in the full and luminous
discussion which the subjects of its deliberaion I'M
derwent; in the high and patriotic that cbarac-
terzed equally the minority and the majority, and In
the near approach TO unanimy in the final decision,
the session OF this Convention is imposing event,
and its'action go forth as formidable influence.
not only over South Carolina but the whole
South. That influence, need say, tends direct
y 10 Secession, as the remedy to be eventually adop-
ted by the State Convention, and little need to
say, that this is remedy and the only one in which
| we have any firm faith.
We cannot close notice of the Convention
without particular reference the distinguish
ed gentleman who presided over its deliberations.
The choice of Gov. Richardson for that office, was
in all respects most Fortunate He showed perfect
knowledge of all its practical duties; always
sef-possessed, quiet and firm in the EXCISE of
thory, and never failing either in dignity in
sy. Never did presiding officer better merit the
pliment Of vote of thanks, and the resolution no
than expressed the honest feeling of every
Der of the body. Charleston Courier.
