The congressional election in North
Carolina has resulted in the election OF
the following members: Messrs Cling
man, J. K. Caldwell. Dockery, Morehead
Stanly aud Outlaw, six Wings; and Ven
able, Daniel and Ashe, three Democrats;
thus preserving the same relative strength
of parties as in the last Congress. The
Raleigh Star says that though the issues
of Union or disuuIon, secession or anti
secession, were raised and urged with
great vehemence in the campaign, it
could not have been a test vote Oh either.
All declared themselves in favor OF the
Union as il is; whilst but few were in
favor Of theoretical secession, aud fewer
still (no, Que perhaps in :en thousand) in
favor of practical secession.

The CorroN CRop-We a..

The CoTToN CRop.-We are ,w.>
that speculations in relation to grow,n'
crops generally pass unheeded by ,bs
merchants OF New Orleans, and co.,n1
buyers. because they are supposed Ia =.
based upon the opinions of persons into,
ested, whose fears are easily aroused ..
their hopes un1uly excited. But bav;nn
recently travelled through several of ,hss
largest cotton growing counties of ,bo
State, we have become convinced tb,,
the cotton crop of 81 will be shor,s, =
the State of Mississippi than the cron IS
so. This belief is not hased merely NJ
on slight examination, but upon car
ful view OF tte crops, upon various nl,r
tations, and from conversations w;,h
many intelligent, practical aud reliabls
planters IL the early part OF the So,
son, the prospect was better than II b,a
been for four years. The stand was gooS
and the cotton healthy, aud in Srs.,
measure free from the anuoyances inc;
dent to the season But the long co,,;n
ued drought checked the growth of The
cotton entirely, before the weed had ho
come large enough 10 produce an ave-,
age yield. aud the forms commenced f,n
ing of, and Still continue. Even if tho
recent showers should promote the CROWN
of the weed, il is too late in the season
TO increase the crop 20 any extent. and
1t Is futile TO say, that even il the re.
mainder of the season should prove favor
able, that anything like full erop "a,
be gathered. UpoE the Lauds borderpo
upon the rivers and streams, the cronS
have not been iEIured by the drought to
great exteut, and upon such favored
| plantations, il not seriously troubled bv
the worm heteaiter. the yield will be
good. aud in many places very full crops
will be gathered. But slle crop ihrougn
out the State will undoubtedly be short
We know that many III estimating the
crop OF cotton Throughout; the Umled
States for the present year, have gener.
ously given Mississippi an over abundau,
share, but we can assure them that their
estimates were improperly based upon
the early appearance OF The cotton. Il
they were now 10 see the growing cIops,
| aud eXatniue the s'unted aud delicate
weed, they would agree with us. From
al the Information we can galher The
drought has I'M jared the cotton IN all OF
the States, and the calculators who have
beeh predicting that the crop oi tins year
| would go up 10 three millions OF bales,
will hnd that they nave greatly over es-
timated the CROP VtckSJurg Whig.

Sir JOHN FRANKLlNs CREw.-A let

Sir JOHN FRANKLiN's CREw.-A let
ter which we copied alleging that party
from the English whaler Flora, while In
Lancaster Sound. had gone ashore, and
under the guidance of the Esquimanx had
found the frozen bottles of four OF Sir
John Franklin's crew, the London and
provincial papers say is Only cruel hoax.
The reasons gwen for this decision are
that the person to whom the letter was
addressed caunot be found, and that no
such vessel as the Flora is known.
The Newburyport Herald thinks that
The solicitude for the fate Of the bold
searchers Of franklin is more appropriate to
at the pre- sent time. as all hope o! Frank
lin being found alive must be in vain:
Six or eight vessels have wlntered in
some Of the bays or infets which empty
into Ba fins Bay beyond the point where
the whale ships ever venture, and it will
be we'll if others are not required to fecov-
er some OF them. The American vessels
we fear we're not sufficiently appointed
for the undertaking, and we ieas much
for the safety Of their crews. We know
nothing Oh earth which we should no,
rather encounter, than a winter in the
ice on board small vessel, above lati
tude 10. 1t requires a greater amount
OF courageous effort than to lead a squad
ron Oh the bloodlest field of hattie, 70,
that trial would be quickly over an6
.here might be excitement enough to car
ry Que through 1t fearlessly.
II is probable that Frankln's vessels
which have now beeu absent more thar
six years, succeeded in the first or second
season in reaching some point of the
Arctic Sea, which is seldom open, per
haps not Oftener than once in genera
ton, and here frozen in, where they re
manned until they all per,shed by cold o.
starvation. Not unlikely he vessels ano
the bodies of the men may be fount
hereafter, aud many thrillingly interest
| ing memorials found recorded in the Jour
nals by their side, which the iast OF them
no doubt kept as long as life remained.

ably concluded TO establish the post some
fifty or sixty miles below the li,.e as first
designated by Capt. Marcy The couu-
try around the new post is represented
to be very poor. aud The timber very
scarce IN the neighborhood; bat there are
