Nix. EuIroR Yesterday we were in great
hopes, from the indications, that the Equinulial
storm was at hand, and that the alched earth
was about To be blessed with the Ie-insplling
rain. Not so, however. The clouds have again
been dispclled and the prospect for rain appears
to be as far removed as ever. There is general
complaint among our farmers, that they are un-
able to prepare the ground for the fall seeding,
and lho:r engaged in grazins cattle, begin to
fear that the pasture will be entirely destroyed.
Thus it's. that whenever Providence seems to

OF Gamc Sc, Sc.
Monday and Tuesday the clouds were
black and lowering, and many were the
prophecys that we should have "a fine
eQuinoctial Storm--a rain that would
gladden. the heart of the farmer, and
make the parched up earth rejoice; but
':Btightly shines the sun today,
And swcct!y sings the hrc.zc,',
and there are no symptoms whatever of
rain. Many ithe farmers have not yet
turned turrow; but they will have to
take patiently, for, till we have some
wet weather, ploughing is out of the
question.
The potatoes, generally, are dng, or
rather raised, and the crop is slim one.
They are Of good SIZE and quality, and
are not affected in the least with the
blight Or rot; but they are thin in the
ground, and as matter of course, turn
out poorly.
A good deal of wheat has been thrash
ed, and yields better, even, than was ex-
pected The grain is large and fine,
and some weighs as high as 66 pounds to
the bushel. 1t averages about bushel
the dozen Sheaves.
The Evangelical Methodists, "a new
sect believe have been holding pro-
tractcd meeting the early part OF the
week, in the woods near the 'Crooked
Tree" about mile and half from
Rock Springs. And on Saturday the
9th inst, the Methodist Protcstants
commence one at the same place. Ever
since harvest the various religious de-
nominations have kept the ncig ghborhood
in blaze with Camp Meetings, Pro-
tracted meetings SC, but the sinners,
believe, have become Gospel hardened;
for they appear TO be about as numerous
as ever.
Game is plcntier this season than it
has been for some time. On every side
can be heard the whistle the partridge
and the scream of the blue jay and the
flicker; but the sportsmen are out pop
ping away, and spreading destruction
amongst them. In the last number OF
the "W Whig" see the names of about
sixty persons who have forbid gunners
coming ontheir premises, and hope, ere
long, | shall see many more. 1t is a
mistaken policy in the farmers to allow a
set OF lazy fellows to go shooting over
their farms, killing, and carrying of
their birds every fall; and one which,
when too late to remedy, they will find
cause to regret. w. P. E.

WHEAT SEEDING.-The Denton Gar
oline Co.. Journal says that large guam
titles or guano, and other manures, are
being applied to the wheat lands in that
section. The Rockville (Md) Journal
savs:-"Guano still keeps up, though a
great deal wi II be used in the county for
the fall seeding. We doubt wether near
the usual quantity will be pur chased;
the fact is, the high price of guane and
the low price of wheat will scarcely
justify the use of it."

FALSE PROMISES!

Voters! Beware of promises made to
you privately by the locofooo candidate.
Remember that in his answer to the in
vitaton from Mr.. Evans to discuss be-
fore the peoPlc, the public policy they
We're each in favor Of, (Which invitation
he declined, because he was not willing
to come fairly before you,) he ayowed
himself in favor of the .ueusures of .NG-
hiono1 IoHcy odopted by tie last uJmiaig-
tr0t}on. Among those measures was the
ruinous Tariff Of 1Si $50 he is public
]y committed to that, and on that ac-
count gets the votes of those who favor
it. Beware, therefore, we say ofpr5raie
prom|seS-they are only meant to de-
ceiYe. Adopt the language of Macbeth
and say:
''And be those juggling fcnds no more bcliev'd,
That palter with us in a double sense;
That keep ihe word ul promise TO our car,

TAKE NOTICE,

The Democrat Of this morning states
that Mr.. Evans opposed the Bounty
Land Law. Well, why did he oppose
the Bill in question. Because, it was
gotten up by Western spectators, and
by one Of its provisions shut out all the
Eastern Shoremen, who met the British
under CocIiburn, and defended .Baltl-
more, and all seamen. True TO his con-
stituents, he opposed a Bill that did them
gross injustice. lie is for Bounty to all
his constituents who are entitled to it,,
and not part Of them.
The Democrat is out also preaching
against Bribery. Wings BEWARE :;
that is pretty good sign the locoiocos
intend to have recourse to it.

Edwin Forrest has again resumed his profess
ion. He made his first appearance at the Broad
way Theatre, on the night Of the 10Th inst.' IN
the character of Damon in the play OF " Damon
and Pythias" He was received says the New
York Herald, with the most unbounded enthu-
siasm, and was called for at the conclusion OF
each act, but did not come forward until the ter
mination Of the play His speech was remark
able one. 1t consisted of, coarse references TO
his domestic difficulties.
We quote few paragraphs from his speech
as we find il reported in the Herald:
81 have been abused, villified, and misrepre-
sented by mendacious dudgeon lawyer, who
under the color of his trade, without the slight
est shadow Of justice, has prosecuted and per-
scented me who has admitted TO me in the
presence of Others that his client was a prosti-
tute, and that he had the right to purchase per-
iuries from houses of il-fame to blacken and
falsify nv character. (Shame, shamc) have
been abused, viified, and misrepresented by a
certain fashionable clique, who, in order to COW
er their own shame, have endeavored to throw
every odium upon me, thinking thereby to es-
cape unwhpped of justice. And now, | ask
why is all this? | will tell you why. 1t is be-
cause would not tamely submit, which, per-
haps it is their wont to do in that very refined
circle-because would not tamely submit to
the most infamous of all wrongs-the dishonor
of my house. CHEERS and cries of "You were
right.') But pardon me, will not speak upon
this subject. This is not the time nor is it the
place to do so. | Twill not take advantage Of the
high position you have given me either to win.
dictate myself, or farther to denounce my ene-
mics The wrongs which have been done me-
they must answer for before tribunal of just
ice, and to that tribunal of justice am ready
and willing to submit my cause"
The Evening Post very truly says" this
speech will do his reputation far more injury
than anything which was ever said against him
by his most malignant foes. 1t is the most un.
dignifed, and we may add, the most indecent
speech that was ever delivered on the American
stage to our knowledge"
