Rainy weather has prevented our attendance at
the great camp meeting near SunmeTyille. If the
pre,a ing storm clears away, we expect Tomorrow
to be able TO give an Interesting account OF rcli-
gious jubilee in the woods in South Carolina. Tor
nadoes and washing rains have nearly swamped the
cotton States, and by putting back the season. in

Gentle showers and q bot are required to give
cotton fair start; bus the is backward and
very unfavorsble, frcm the continued rains and
cold weather.
The fall in the prices Of cotton in England has
caused considerable disappointment anon: planters
and dealers in this latitude Some say that it is
down for the balance Of Last years CROP and that
the South will loss upon II twenty or twenty-five
millions; or that the aggregate, by some such def

The Falcon, Capt. Hartsteine, which arrived
here yesterday morning from Havana, reports that
he was fred into by the Spanish steamer Pizaro,
two shots passing over his vessel but doing no
damage Capt. Ill. gave orders for all the old iron
to be scraped together for the purpose Of returning
the compliment with the only piece of cannon he had
aboard, when an explanation took place, and the
Spaniard apologised This is certainly highland

alarmed for the safety Of the island, that they are
afraid Of their shadows. Il is great oversight
the part Of our government, well bad policy
in permitting mail steamers to go unarmed.
They should be provided for any emergency, and,

some difficulty that occurred with the authorities
during the last big scare, when the Filibusseros
landed on Cardenas. As general rule, the flag
