COTTON IN MISSISSIPPI AND LOUISIANA.

DAT the Wells, met number Of plan
tiers who say that the past five weeks rains

Madison, Warren, Yazoo and the adjacent

region at least One-third, and perhaps halt.

Hon. A. II. STEPHENS & Co.-Rumors
have beenindustriously circulated by the wing
press that Stephens of Georgia, and Cabell
Of Florida had come into the support of
Scott. In the case of Cabell the report has
been contradicted by himself, while as re-
CARDS Stephens, the following extracts from
a speech which he made at Atlanta, Geo.,
only few days ago will speak for themselves.
Hon A. H. Stephens, says the Atlanta
(Ga.) Intelligencer, addressed large con-
course of people, at PARIS Hall, in this city,
on Tuesday night last, (3lst ultimo, on the
political questions of the day, taking occasion
to define very explicitly his own position on
the presidential issues He declared his
opinion, in strong terms, that Gen. Scott
ought to be defeated-Gen. Pierce ought not
to be elected-Daniel Webster ought to be
elected
In regard to Gen. Scott, he said he should
certainly not vote for him. He alluded to
the State elections in Pennsylvania and
Ohio, and showed conclusively that in these
States, the very men who were conducting
the State canvass in opposition to the Com
promise and particularly the fugitive slave
law, bore upon their banners at that time
the name of Winfield Scott for President,
and that these same men, together with Sc
ward and Greeley of New York and men of
the same stripe from other northern States,
were the ones who finally secured the nomi-
nation of Gen. Scott, and triumphed over
Mr.. Fillmore and Mr.. Webster. He would
not say that Gen. Scott had never uttered a
word in favor of the compromise, but he had
never been able to find word in its favor
from him, and he had searched very dill
gently-that SCOTS speech at Castle Gar
den was delivered before the compromise
measures as they finally passed, were intro
duced in Congress THAT the Castle Garden
speech approved the resolutions then pend
ing which were originally introduced by Mr..
Clay, and which Mr.. Stephens declared he
would not have voted for, because, among
other reasons, they made no provision for a
fugitive slave law. He discreditcd entirely
the authenticity of the purported speech Of
Gen. Scott to the Mississippi delegation,
which first appeared at Natchez and has
since been extensively circulated in the
southern Scott papers. He thought Gen.
Scott would be very far from attaching his
signature to that speech.

Rail Road Election.

The election which was ordered by the
Board Of Sclectmen to ascertain whether
the citizens of Columbus would consent to
the levy of a tax for the purpose of raising
$4,000 capital stock of the Mobile Rail
Road, to be expended in building a branch
to Columbus, resulted on last Saturday, the
day Of election, in an almost unanimous vote
for the proposition, there being 2l6 yeas,
and only nays. Little doubt exists but
that the Legislature will at its approaching
session logaliso the vote, and authorize the
levy Of the tax.

NJ CHETALIER, in the Paris Journal des
Debats, writes thus:
DAT the the present time the U. States
are the protectors, almost the sovereigns Of
entire America and tits possible that they
may become its proprietors. Without yield
ing much to the imagination, we may be-
lieve that in that hemisphere a gigantic
power is growing, couchcd like giant from
the South Pole to the North Pole, and in
that formidable attitude, overlooking at once
the whole Old World-that is to say, on
the East, Europe, and on the West, China
and Japan. At this moment there is not q
boy of fifteen in the United States who does
not conceive this hope for his country, OF
who does not express it as an infalliblt
event, just as young Romans under Fabiui
and Paulus Emillus were convinced tina
they were marching to universal empire"

Ger that several steamboats, running from
that city have abolished the bar usually kept
on board Of packet boats. Much good is
said to have resulted from this, in the addi-

From the Richmond Examiner.
The Testimony of a Wing Eleetor.

The political population of Richmond was
thrown into a state of immense commotion
and excitement on yesterday, by the arrival
Of the last Boston Post. 1t appears that
the Granite Club of Massachusetts held
meeting at Faneuil Hall few nights ago
In its account of this meeting, the Post
mentioned one "Judge Lyons of Virginia"
having been seated on the platform. Judge
Lyons Of Virginia turns out to be no other
person than our Jenny Lyons of Richmond
the wing elector for the Eastern District
Of Virginia-the nominee Of the innocent
Mr. Thomas, and the favorite of the late
Wing Conventions tho colleague of VIM.
Ballard Preston. This fact is made appa-
rent by the following neat and proper note
which appeared in the Boston Post succeed
ing that in which it made Judge of our
Jenny:
"REvERE HOUSE, Aug. 81, 1852.
MEssRs. EDIToRs Il perceive that in
'enumerating, in your paper this morning,
the names of the strangers who were upon
the platform last night at Faneuil Hall, l

'lest it should be thought that am conniv-
ing at an innocent mistake which gives me

Granite Club; and take leave to say that
L was very highly grati6ed spectator, and
only regret that every man in the South
could not see and hear all that I saw and

great meeting at Hillsborough, for they
would then feel, am sure, as / now do
that the Democratic party of New England

who was with me, desires me to disclain
'also for him the title ascribed to him, as ht
is, like myself, member Of the bar.

The wrath which this brief and simple
note has already stirred upein this locality
lis perfectly astonishing. The abuse whicl
has been heaped upon James Lyons heac
during the last twenty-four hours can onl,
be measured by hogsheads. The only conso

BURIAL OF SIR JOHN MooRE.

Not drum was heard, not a funeral note,
AS MS corse to the rampant we hurried;
not a soldier discharged his farewell shot
er the grave where our hero was buried.
We buried him darkly, at dead of night
The sods with our bayonets turning:
Dy the struggling moonbeam's misty light,
ana the lantern dimly burning.
No useless coffin enclosed his breast,
Not IN sheet nor in shroud we wound him.
But he lay like warrior taking his rest,
with his martial cloak around him.
Few and short we've the prayers we said
And We spoke not word of sorrow;
but we steadfastly gazed on the face of the dead,
And we bitterly thought of the morrow
We thought, as we followed his narrow bed.
And smoothed down his lonely pillow,
That the foe and the stranger would tread DER
his head,
And We far away the billow
Lightly they II talk of the spirit that s gone,
And Ger his cold ashes upbraid him,
But little he IL reck, if they II let him sleep on
In the grave where Briton has laid him.
But half of our heavy task was done,
When the clock struck the hour for retiring
And we heard the distant random gun
That the foe was sullenly firing.
Slowly and sadly we laid him down,
From the field of his fame fresh and CORY:
We carved not line, and we raised not q stone ;
But left him alone with his glory.
