4Nr. Edtt0r:-Having recently passed through some ten of the central and South ern counties of this State, and having exam ined and made inquiry into the condition of the crops of cotton and corn therein, pro- pose giving you the result of my nvestiga- tiOns.
 During the sixteen days of my absence from Helena, saw but very few good crops of cotton out of this county. They were two in Monroe; occasionally small crop upon the bottom lands of Dallas, Bradley and Drew; one large and two or three small crops in Desha, and some three or four crops in Arkansas counties. Among these there was but one above the average of ordinary years, which was upon Bayou Bartholomew, in Desha county. The upland crop through out these counties, as far as could ascer- tain, will not average more than one half of an ordinary yield; while the bottom crops will not average above ordinary. l fre- quently saw upland fields upon which every boil appeared to be open, and first rate hand ought 10 have been able to sweep an acre in day. The perched and dry ap- pearance of the country was truly lamenta- be
 The corn crop was, if possible, worse than the cotton. do not think the coun- ties mentioned can possibly have made enough for the home consumption of their present population. heard complaints from several that they did not get back the seed they planted. This, however, was on the upland. Such long and continuous drought has never before been known in this State, and l dare say throughout the whole country. The uplands, however, have sui fered by far the most, and am much miata- ken if this year will not have materially en- nance the estimation and value of the swamp lands. There is yet in this State much val uable and arabe swamp land. and the greater part of it has been donated to the State by the Swamp Land Bill of September, 1850
 4r~l;- sa:- tho tl,O valna nf ,h- losaA. in Phillips county has been materially en. hanced in my estimation by what l saw during my late trip. There is no land in the State superior 10 the bottom and upland of Phillips, and but little that equals them The best crops in the State, both of corn and cotton, are this year made in Phillips county, so far as my knowed ge extends.

 ExEcUToN.--George Pharaoh was exc cuted at West Chester (Pa.) on Friday, for the murder of Rachel Sharpless, committed on the 18th of September last. The crime was perpetra!ed by Pharaoh shooting her dead with gun, while she was unlocking the school house door at West Goshen, Chester county, she being teacher there. Pharaoh was suspected of the crime, from having been seen in the vicinity with his gun, and this suspicion was rendered certainty by finding that the waddng used on the oc- cason matched torn copy of the Saturday Evening Post, which was found in his pos session when arrested.
 His sole motive for the commission of the deed, if his own confession is to believed, was to obtain a gold watch belonging to the deceased The mother of Pharaoh was sister of Jabez Boyd, who was hung at West chester on the 2lst of November, IS45, for the murder of Wesley Patton, lad. Pha- raoh was hung on the same gallows with the same rope.

If women generally, knew the influence they would have over every sensible mans conduct, by an intending amiable, attentive, pursuasive, loving, yielding department on their parts, and would exert it, we feel con- fdent there would be less crime and unhap- pness in the world. The plan which every woman should adopt, when her husband is angered, is 10 argue kindly and affeclionate- y uith him, not quarrel.

LETTER FROM ANOTHER OF THE VICTIMS OF CRrrTENDEN's ConINAND.-The following letter from Dr. Fisher, of Louisville, who was shot with Crittenden at Havana, is pub lished in the Louisville Courier:
 HAVANA, Aug. Is, 1851. MR. w. N. HALDEMAN, Editor LouisviNe Courier.
 DEAR SIR: take this last opportunity and liberty Of sending you this letter, for the benefit of those who vii! probably come to Cuba. Sir, Gen. Lopez has deceived Us all. He is traitor and no gentleman There is no revolution here as the papers have stated. Tell all those who intend to visit Cuba not 10 come, for they all will be shot. There is no chance to get back again. If any officer has raised company or com panies, tell them through your paper, if you think proper, to diSperse, for the expedition is all great humbug. don't like to see O'Hara bringing men here from Kentucky 10 be shot.
 Sir, am condemned 10 be shot, and as have only few minutes to live, l thought would inform you that fifty of Us will be shot; shortly Col Crittenden, from Louis vile, is among the lot. Give my best re- gards 10 all my friends. 1 would write more but cannot do so for the want of time.
 Yours, respectfully,

PITuY AND PATRIoTIc.--President Fill more's recent speech at Stanton, Va, con- tained the following passage:
 "In reference, Mir. Chairman, 10 my Ad- ministration, to which you have been pleas ed to allude in terms of eulogy, have mo- thing to say. It has been remarked by wise man that no ones biography shall be written until he is dead; and a prudent man should leave his public acts to be judged by others. My past acts are tine only pledges car give of what my administration is here after to be. l have no promises to make except that in all do shall take the Con- stitution for my guide. and will assume all the responsibilities it imposes, whatever the sacrifice may be; and while that flag floats (pointing to the national flag suspended from the hotel, , l will maintain that con stitution and the Union it secures at any and every cost" Great applause. --~-~~~~-~~~~~-~~

 TIE FUCITIvE SLAVE RIoT.-A few days ago Edward Gorsuch and son, of Baltimore county, Md, went 10 Lancaster county, Pa, in pursuit of a fugitive slave. They diScov- cred the slave at place named ChriStiana near Lancaster. The negro was secreted in a house, into which Gorsuch and party entered, when the negro cleared up stairs, and armed with musket prevented the party from ascending them. He blew horn and was immediately reinforced by about two hundred negroes and whites, who surrounded the house. The Marshal called upon the whites 10 assist him in en- forcing the law, but they refused. The ne- groes fired upon their pursuers. Gorsuch and son were instantly and it is supposed, mortally wounded. Three negroes were also wounded, but the negroes and iheirasso- ciates remained uncaptured. Gorsuch and his son were most respectable ctizens.--- Great excitement prevails. It is supposed | that the Government must interfere.

There is speaking well, speaking easily, speaking justly, and speaking seasonable.- It is offending against the last to speak of entertainments before the indigent; off sound limbs and health. before the infirm; ot houses and lands before one who has not so much as dwelling; in word, to speak of your prosperity before the miserable; this con- versation is cruel, and the comparison which naturally rises in them betwixt their con- dltion and yours, is eXcrutating.
