Crops.

We were rejoiced to perceive during
our journey to Winnsboro, the indica-
tons SO very favourable for large yield OF
corn this fall. Tho crops do really look well,
corn especially ; and we are no less rejoiced
to hear that farmers generally have devoted a
larger portion Of their lands to the cultiva-
ton Of corn than is usually the case. ..
What vast amount of suffering would
DO saved. and how much more true comfort
would our people enjoy, II they would al.
ways do this. Why pay so much attention
to cotton, and then have to purchase corn at
el and 9I.26 per bushelt ..

Of the son of our townsman, DR.. R. E. Wylie,
we clip from the Temperance Advocate ofthe
10th inst. The extract IL taken from an edito-
RAJ giving the proceedings oftho Temperance
Society," -
4The fourth piece was announced; as 49,
cially dedicated to the Cadets, and The inter-
esting and promising little musician who
played the Drum accompaniment, was re-
ceived by them with great applause. This
enlivenihg portion Of tho exercise having
been concluded, the speaker for the evening,
Cadet Jno. Wylie, q amember Of the Fresh
man Class Of Tho State Military Academy,
was next announcedby the President The
distinguished and efficient advocates Of fho
cause, In South Carolina, represented ON this
occasion by his son, as a youthful champion
OF the same ca,ise-and delegate from that
popular Institution, Of which our State may
Justly be proud, se. med % falf with thrilling
effect upon the ahdience and this, with the
many interesting circumstances of the occa-
sion, the presence Of 80 numerous body Of
the speakers comrades and fellow studenta.
OF several Of the officers Of the Institution,
and large numbers Of young ladies', all of
whom appeared much grati6ed with the
proceedings, impaired life and animation to
the scene, and inspired the orator with con-
adence and spirit. Many passages Of his
address were eloquent and happily delivered,
and hin appeals to those Of his own age and
pursuits earnestly directed and well received.
At the close Of his address, several Cadets
came forward and subscribed their names to
the Temperance Pledge. The signature of
two ladies were also obtained upon the
cards passed round among them" n

After the 47th ballot, a motion to adj
journ until the afternoon, was made and
lost. A motion was then made by Mr..
Delany, Of Wisconsin, to adjourn sine die,
and each State make its own nomination.
The question, however, was not put.
On the 4sth ballot General Pierce OBJ
tanned 55 votes. The 49th and last bal
lot then commenced.
On the State of North Carolina being
called, Mr.. Dobbin of that delegation, rose,
and, after some remarks, voted for Mr.
Pierce, amidst considerable applause, when
Alabama also cast her vote for Mr.. P.,and
Massachusetts changed her vote IN his fa-
yor, which was added to by the vote of
Mississippi and others. The excitement
IN the Convention rose to a tolerably high
degree. When New York was called in
her turn, she voted as on the preceding
ballot, but before the vote was announced,
she changed her vote and gave her thirty
five votes for Pierce, amidst immense cheer
ing. After which the Pennsylvania and
Indiana delegates asked leave to retire for
consultation.
While they were out, Alabama, New
Jersey, Missouri, Vermont, Arkansas, and
other States, changed their votes for Pierce.
The excitement became very great as one
State after another changed their votes
for the New Hampshire candidate.
Senator Bright, Of Indiana, addressed
the Convention, and at the close gave the
vote of Indiana for Gen. Pierce.
Mr.. Seymour and Mr. Dickinson, of
New York, addressed the Convention in
favor of Mr.. Pierce.
Col. Black, of Pennsylvania, addressed
the Convention in favor Of Gen. Pierce, af-
ter which Gov. Porter, of that State, gave
the entire vote of the State for him, by, as
he said, the direction of majority of the
delegation.
Mr.. Soule, of Louisiana, and others ad-
dressed the Convention.
The excitement during the delivery Of
the speeches and announcement of the
change of votes was so great that it was
impossible to hear near all that was said
and done; the members were all on their
feet, most of them standing on the benches.
When the Michigan vote was cast for
Gen. Pierce, the chairman of that delega-
ton said Gen. Pierce was particularly ac-
ceptable to Gen. Cass.
Finally, before the last three or four
States, in the order of voting, had been
called, and of course before the vote on
the 49th ballot was announced, all the
States changed their votes in favor of Gen,
Pierce, except Ohio.
Gen. Pierce, 2a2; Cass, 2; Butler, l
Houston Ohio giving the 6 Scattering
Votes.
The Convention then adjourned until
| four o'clock in the afternoon. BY two
o'clock the result was proclaimed by ma
tional salute fired by the New York Dele,
cation from the front of the Maryland In
stitute Hall, with the swivel brought on
by them.
The following is recapitulation of al
| the ballots -

A Trip to Winnsboro'.

On Thursday last, we left Lancaster where
we have been confined for the last four
months, Poring over newspapers, with the
cry OF copy! copy! continually ringing In
our ears. and paid visit to our friends In
Winnsboro'. We had the pleasure OF meet.
ing many Of our friends while there, and to
our brothers Of the Herald, Messrs. Britton
d Mickle, are we particularly indebted for
marks Of attention and favor. We are Glad
to learn that the Daily Register confines to
be source Of profit to the pr,prietora, rs
also the Herald. We are not disposed TO
give our friend Miekle rub yet, as we were
informed by his worthy co-partner, he had
not as yet fully entered upon the duties If
an Editor. But we certainly expect moro
editorial matter from the accession, and M
yet the Register and Herald do not bear ey;-
dence Of It. The universal cry In Winnsbo.
ro' is, Dull Timesi Dull Times! Il n. in
deed, to be regretted that 80 many stores are
vacant, and the people Of Winnsboro' should
endeavor by all means, TO use every exer,ion
by establishing the Bank, organizing a Bull.
ding and Loan Association, as has been vi.a-
ly suggested by writer In the Register ,Sse..
to bring back the business Of the place.

we stopped, still deservedly enjoys large
portion Of public patronage. There are now
only two Hotels in Wlnnsboro,-Gamble's
and McMasters.
We were asked repeatedly about the pro.
posed Rail RsSa areas this plsse to Chester.
The opinion seems prevalent that Il eoald.
with little exeEtion, be constructed. An.

be well for our citizens 70 think Of viz .

with it had nothing TO do. ~ y NrsszE
