Col. JOhns0n's Position.

In conversation with a gentleman few days since on the subject of the Congress- lonai canvass, whom we knew heretofore to have been firm advocate of Whig pol icy, and who still adheres to the principles of that party, he stated that in the contest between Capt. Preston and Mir. Johnson, he would certainly support Mr. Johnson; and that he would do so in consequence of his ultra Southern views, and his opposition to the Compromise.
 A large portion of the Democracy deny for Mr. Johnson the position he has assum- ed for himself in his address to the people of this State, and Democrats friendly to the Compromise, support him declaring that he is strong friend of the Union, notwth- standing he has said that in the event of the passage of the Compromise measures by Congress, "the Union ought and aoiN be dis sol0ed." NIT. Johnson is certainly an avail able candidate, if those who are opposed to further agitation, and are willing to stand by and sustain the compromise, can con- sistently support him on the grounds of his friendship for any measure having a ten- dency to heal dissension, and the utraists, on the ground of the ultra and Secession views, disseminated in his address to the people of Arkansas Washington Te!e- grGph.

THE CROPS IN GEoRGIA.-We are not among those who countenance the eternal outcry about short crops; but we are per- suaded that if the drought continues in mid dle Georgia much longer, we shall make a miserable showing of cotton crop. Ac- cording to the information of our friend s. T. Chapman, Esq, of the Journal and Mes Senger, some sixty counties have been heard from lately, and though the "stand" of cot ton is generally good, it can make no pro- gress for the want of rain. There is no doubt that a much longer continuance of the frightful drought which has visited Geor- gia for some time past, will show up rather unsatisfactory results. Rain alone is want ed. It is conceded on all hands, that the wheat crop in Georgia and Tennessee is the finest produced for many years.
 SaUannah Rep, June 9M.
 Letters from Southwestern Georgia state, that there have been partial rains there of late, but not enough to do much good. We also learn that on the 4th, stalk of cotton was exhibited at Albany having two blos- sons, which are the first blooms we have heard of this season. I'D.
