With US the cotton crop has been seriously in
iiured by drought. No one expects to realize any
thing like full crop Many are destined to gather
n ba!f crop, while Others anticipate ab mt two
thirds. I ne accounts from the interior of this
State, as we'll az from Mississippi, are still more
encouraging the drought being intense as to
bave ruined both their and cotton crops. We
zee, though, tiom accounts from England, we'll as
New Yoik, that large crop estimate has gone
abroad, which has now produced low 6gures as re-
galds the price Thi, impression has grown out
Of the appearances of the crop in June, which
then did exhibit most ateripg appearances; ne acc
it was sounded from all quarters that the crop was
very promising, and promised a large yield. But
We must now recolleot that the crop OF cotton is
dependent on July ard August TO be favorable to
The production of good crop. These two months
axe the periods which turn the scales Of cotton-it
favorable, full crop may be expeoted if untaTor-
able, q disastrous yield is the result. These two
months have been very dry and intensely hot, which
completely paTched up the plant, and occasoned

now calculate ON 3000 600 bales, which is the esci
mate that has been made, i, all nonsense. We
see by the western accounts, that even III Texas
and louisiana, the crops have been seriously da-
msged hence it is reasonable to suppose that
25tO00o bales will cover the crop. We are aware

uCus enc; but, nevertheless, the facts to the con
trary presented by the exhibition of our folds,
and the universal reports we have from planters
AID travellers. Time will prove it; but unfortu-
pately for the planter, the period is long before
rapidly, as is the case in injured cotton,, which

far from z 10000 bales
Since our elections are over. politicians are as
suniug tranquil state Of mind; but the suc-
cess Of the Union patty has not in the least degree
cooled DOWN the ardor OF the States rights men,
who feel very much encouraged at the SUCCESS in
the numbers rallied uLdor their standard in bat a
twelve months existence. They have no idea Of
hauling down their coiors, or OF giving up the con-
test, but seem de Sermined in keeping up their
organization, pr epared TO carry the State at the
rext trial. The victory so lately lost will tend
ouly to renew the combat with more zeal and a5sor
ance, knowing now what IS the actual strength OF
the enemy. Even the most minor cOunty cleo
tion it will be conducted on party grounds Tne,e
is TO be no union between the Union aud State
rights men. Southern rights or secession is para
mount to everything.
ssregsrds the pre- paration for the Presidential
canvass for 1852, the South is SILENT but looking
ON with jealous scrutiny. | Go not believe that tho
State rights party can be led into support Of any
rational nominations They will, il possible, rua
a Southern ticket OF their own choosing, or stand
sloof, and witness the strife between the two na-
tiOnal parties. They desire to become a distinct
oIgahized body, to battle with the compromise
party in their own States, and subdue them in a
sovereign capacity. AS for the goveramsnt, or nl
ioual parties, they care but LITTLE what they do or
what becomes of them. Their hopes are in being
prepared 10 stand with Carolina and 60 out OF the
UIion with her SoUTHEgNEa.
August 2i.-Since writing the above, yesterday,
We have had vi lent gale Of wind aud rain from
northeast, of twelve hours duration, which pros
irated fences, trees, and the crops. 1t has done
serious damage and added much to the injury Of the
or ps. If il was general you will hear loud com
