THE RJCE CROP

Wclcarn, upon inquiry that the water has entirely
rcceded from the, plantations on the Savannah riv-
CT. No accurate estimate can yet be formed of
the damage sustained A considerable portion of
the cut rice was swept away by the flood, or other
wise damaged. Tie standing crops on the upper
plantations seriously injured, ms it was entire
ly submerged, and the grain thoroughly soaked.
The consequence is, that it rpens and sheds be-
fore it can be cut On the plantations opposite
and betow the city, The damage. has not been so
great, as the water did not rise high enough to COW
CT the crops. We have heard the loss rariously
estimated at from 10 to 80 per cent. We can ven
ture opinion upon the subject. One thing is
certain, the damage is very considerable, and the
quality of the rice will be greatly impaired.
AS lar as we can ascertain, there has been no Sc
rous loss sustained on the c, echee,' Altamaha.
Saltilla, or ST. Mary's rivers. The crops on the
Saltilla are better than they have been Tor years.

accomplish his object successfully. He has never
failed TO make capital in some way, and in this
journey his old fortune still adhercs 10 him; fer he
is arousing the of the West to the hearties
demonstrations in his favor, and all this without
the employment OF the usual machinery of party

on the part of the usual wre-workers of the differ

this tour of tie old warrior upon the aspect of the

aiding them in this commendable effort, we iind
the little Giant of Illinois cody bringing forward
n proposition TO tic down and fetter forever the

the issue in this contest. The Wings aauoeate i'm

stopped and touched the ground, and then laid their
hands on their heads, Signifying that they as

Assyrinn Niscovcries.

The last number of the London Athcnnum con-
tains communication from Col. RawlinSon, an
nouncing an important historical discovery. He
has deciphercd some of the cuneiform inscriptions
brought from Ninevah by Mr.. Layard, and found
them to contain some remarkable vcriiications of
Bible history. They are records of one of the AS
syrian kings, who proved to be the Scnnacherib Of
Scripture. They notice his war against tile king
of Sidon and describing the battle between the
AssyrianS and Egyptians, in conformity with the
accounts OF Josephus and llerodOtuS notice the plo
ceedings of Sennacherib against HcZekiah, king of
Judca. The names OF Hezckiah, Judea, and Jeru
salem are given i'll the inscription as Khazaklyah
Ursulimma, and Judn and the tribute which the
Jewish king pays i'll order to free himself from his
enemy, is stated almost in the very words of Scrip
ture. The annals of Sennacherib in this inScrip-
ton extend over seven years, and a cylindar has
been met with which gives the events of two years
more. Other points of identity between these an
nails and the Greek and Biblical notices of SIENNA
chcrib likewise occur but the chief point of inter-
est is the establishment Of the identity of the king
who built the great palace of Kuyanjik with that
sovereign. secure starting place is now obtain

From the Franklin (Tean.) Repie,o.
Thc Nyuy n Soldier Talks

General Alexander b. Bradford, of Holly Springs,
Mississippi, recently delivered speech before the
Scott Club of Memphis, by special invitation, i'll
| which he reviewed ut some length speech lately
made in the same city by Col. Jefferson Davis, of
his State in which Davis asSaed the military
duct of General Scott in regard TO his manGuvreS
in Mexico. Davis spoke of General Scott as being
proud, petuant vain, and presumptuous. General
Bradford who knows Scott well, both personally
and as a commander and is himself brave and
daring an officer ever met the enemies of his
country upon BATTLE field, thus reviewed J cer-
son Davis's speech. He knows Scott well, and
does not look al his glorious acts and achievements
through the jaundiced eye of personal and polit-
| ical opponent, as Colonel Davis docs. He speaks
what he knows, and testifes to what he has seen
and we commend the following short and eloquent
review to the special consideration of all who, like
Colonel Davis, are disposed to crtcise with undue
severity the actions of the glorious old thunderer
| who has borne his countrys banner to the breeze
of hundred dangerous and death dealing bat
Ties
Colonel Davis told you, fellow citizens, that in
all Of these qualities which command the aiIec-
tons and confidence of those around HIM, Gen.
Scott is Singulary wanting-being proud, petulant,
| VAN, and preSulnptuous. If it be proud to pay
strict attention 10 the wants of the poor soldier
tovit the dreary and pestlental hospital and wipe
| the moisture from the fevered brow of the sick
to wait upon the cholera patients of the iarmy-to
raise the dying soldier from his CORY bed on the bat
lie field and staunch his bleeding wounds-if it be
proud 10 do these things, then General Scott is a
very proud, a very naughty mani If itbepetuiant
10 curb the restless and unruly otiicers-to hold
them down with hand of iron, and make them
behave like good soldiers and gentlemen-ifi it be
petulant 10 be tight the officers but good to the
men-if this be petulant, then General Scott is
something of petuant and peevish man. If it is
vain 10 apparel himself on the eve of battle accord
ing 10 the rules and regulations of the service with
his cpauettS on his shoulders and his tall plume
towering above him, that friend and foe may
know his grade, and then TO plunge into the battle
where the conflict isiercest, the bullets rain
thickeSt, and where The carnage Iagcs deadliest-
| if this be vain, am afraid Gen. Scott is a very
vain glorious man tremendous applause.) If
to know that he possesses as much skill, prompti-
tudc and judgment as any man of the age in plan
ming campaign, reducing fortress, or in drawing
the programme of pitched battle, clear in its
details, SO suspicious of success, that it would
seem as ii the victory won before the battle is
fought-if this be prescriptions, then we must
conclude, with Col. Davis, that Gen. Scott is also
a very presumng man." (Cheers.)
