ton declared The latter TO be the tue democratic,

This deoison IL seems vas not satisfactory 20 Mr..
Cobb and his friends, aOd they a. FIRST resolved TO
keep up the Unicn organization Bat the mass OF

Macon ana nvminsted Mr. Webster, Oh stiff wing
platform. no other vas left the Cobb men,
OF the "Tugalo" party tall the corn being she'ied
of } but TO come IN fos Pierce. This they have
done, and the late Union party of Georgia IS thus
Gnay and formally resolved back into its original
wbg ard Democratic elements. There is, he sever,
this difference between the two the democrats
are now united on Pierce aad King, while small
portion OF the wings refuse to suppor. the regular
Webster ticket, and keep up factious division by
still adbering TO Scott.
| Gen. Scott, it appsars, declined giving specific
answers to the inquiries of the Southern Rights
Committee Of Alabama. This, together with the
| silence Of Gen Pierce, the same subject, has
probably induced that committee to Issue call fer
State Convention on the 18th proximo.
| The proceedings Of the Massachusetts, Free Soil
Ratification Meeting, which was held in Boston last
night possess little inter just at this time, for
the reason that they settle the doubt which have
| been created in the minds Of some az to whether
| John p Hale would abide by the action Of the
| Pittsburg Convention. The chairman OF the Boston
| meeting stated positively that Mr. Hale would ac-
cent OF the nom nation for President; and rem the
enthusiasm reported to have been msAifsatsd IN the
occason it is pretty evident that the free soilers Of
Massachusetts, intend to support him with all their
strength. Between the Webster and Hale move
nsnts, Gen. SCOTS prospects certainly look very
slim in the old Bay State.
We publish, this morning, intelligence from diff
ferent portions Of the country in relation to the
crops, Of both cotton and provisions In some Sec
items We learn that the worm has commenced its
desruciiveness upon the cotton while from others
we hear that the planters rejoicing in antici-
patton of an abundant yield. On the whole, judging
| from the information we have received, are in
ened to the opinion that it will, Mt least turn out
an average yield, particularly as the ravages
/ Of the worm have commenced late, when the crop
ia in such advanced stage to put it out Of their
power to destroy it to any great extent The wheat
harvest has been most abundant, and from all parts
We hear the most glowing accounts of yield. The
prospect for corn is at present uncommonly cheer
| ing. With one or two exceptions, the yield
| throughout the country will be greater than ever
before known, and in anticipation Of which the
price in different localities is already beginning
recede. The potato crop will not vary much from
those of the last few preceding years. From some
parts we learn the disease has attacked the pota.
toes, doing considerable damage, while in other
portions Of the country it is said the crop will turn
out exceedingly fine. In hay the harvest has been
very light. In the Northern and Eastern States it
has been much below the average amount, while
from the West do not hear accounts Of any great
| abundance This will cause speculative movement
in the article, and We shall soon expect to see hay
bringing an uncommonly high price,
Judge Edmonds has given his opinion that he has
authority to interfere in the application for
injunction to restrain the city of Brooklyn from
enforcing their ordinances against keeping open
shops, stores, groceries, and drinking houses, on
Sundays. He refers the applicants to the Judge Of
| that district. The opinion Of Judge Edmonds, on
spirit drinking, is very wordy, but neither classic
nor elaborate, nor written with that which
marked the lucubrations Of this legal function
airy on spiritual" knockings.

Judge Duer, restraining the Rev. Mr.. Fouche, pas

counsel shall be heard on each SIDE On the trial Of
