SANTA Annals CoURsE.-The Washington
correspondent of the Charleston Courier
says, some of the friends of Santa Anna and
well wishers of Mexico, represent his course
of policy in favorable light, and defend,
with great FEASIBILITY, his suppression of
the opposition press. 1t is only by suppress
ing hostile factions that he can hope to do any
thing for Mexico, and II is better, as is assert
ed, that he should prevent agitation, than re-
sort to force for quelling Instruction. 1t is
predicted, in the most confident manner, that
his next coup dGsrs will be.aimed against the
Clergy, body thas engF ,sscs so much of the
prOpertyin Mexico, and exercises such con-
troll over its public affairs.
There is hardly reason to doubt that this
Government will pursue towards Mexico an
indulgent and conciliatory course. We shall
be the better assured Of this when the APP
pointment of Colonel Gadsden,.a s Minister
to Mexico, shall be officially announced.

AMENDMENTS OF THE CONSTITUTION
Very little has been said of late relative to
the vote upon the proposed amendments to
the Constitution of this State, to be decided
at the August elections. The main feature
is-shnll our Judiciary be elected by the
people! If the people answer affrmatively,
we will then by direct ballot elect Judges of
the Supreme Court, an Attorney General and
Reporter for the State, Judges of the Chan
Gerry and Circuit Courts, and Attorneys Gen.
eral for each Circuit We have been accus-
toned to look upon the Judiciary as the only
conservative branch in popular government,
and measure contemplating a change in
the mode of electing its officers, or affecting
it in any respect, should not be voted upon
by the people but after deep and attentive
consideration, that its adoption may carry
with it the sanction of their wisest and most
mature convictions.

FLoRDA.-This State is waking up on the
subject of railroads. A railroad has been char
tered BY Georgia and Florida from Savannah
to Pensacola. Florida had previously char
tered the Florida Railroad Company to con-
struct railroad across the peninsula, from
some point on the gulf to n proper point on
the Atlantic To the Savannah and Pensaco-
Ia scheme Savannah has subscribed nearly
n million of dollars, and the efforts in its IA
vor have been very successful. The friends
of the Florida peninsula road regard the Sa-
vannah scheme rs hostile to theirs, and are
opposing it with great zeal, 4 considerable
excitement, therefore, prevails in the Flowery
State. This condition of the public mind
there will no doubt do good, as it will give
strong impulse TO the cause ofimprovements
and hasten the completion Of ut least one of
the roads.-Er. paper.

ANOTHER FATAL ARRAY IN FAYErTE
coUSTY.-The Somervile, (Tcnn.,) Repor.

place at LaGrange, in this county, on last
Monday, between Mr.. Moss and Mr. Lam
bert-which resulted in the death of the for
mer by pistol shot from the latter Moss,
we understand was a loafer and gambler, and
being on spree went into the grocery of
Lambert, where quarrel took place between
them. Lambert ordered Moss out of the
house, which brought about blows, from
which the shooting took place Report says
that Moss first fired on Lambert his ball TAX
ing effect in the shoulder or large part of the
arm, and turned to walk out when Lambert
drew pistol and shot him. After Moss was
shot he walked out of the house and down
the pavement n few paces-then turned about
drew another pistol, walked back to LIS
door and fell dead"

The following is the closing paragraph OF
the last annual report of the directors of the
Vermont and Massachusetts railroad, issued
in February last. Such care and success are
worthy to be noted in these days of railroad
accidents:
"No PERSONAL INJURY THE PAST YEAR
The directors are happy to say, ut the con.
clusion Of their report, that not person has
been injured in any manner upon the road
during the past year. The trains have been
run with all the regularity and exactness
possible; and it is remarkable and very
gratifying fact that neither among the pas
sengers nor employees has single case of
personal damage occurred.

CRoPs.-A short visit in the interior of the
State has convinced us that the prospects of
neither the Gotten nor corn crops are as flour
ishing MS they were last year this time. We
saw and conversed with many planters, both
at Macon and Griffin, who gave us very
gloomy accounts Of the cotton crops especial
". The stand is very irregular, and owing
to the severe drought in April, the crop gen.
orally is very backward. Some, indeed, have
not yet come up. The rains, of which we
spoke in the early part of the month, were
very partial; and we are credibly informed,
that in many places, there has been no rain Of
consequence for two months. The earth is
parched, and fields and gardens are suffering
severely for want Of rain. We learn also
that the lice have made their appearance and
are doing much damage to crops, already
backward and unpromising. We make these
statements in strict accordance with facts col
lrctcd from planters, by ourselves, which are
corroborated by our own experience as far as
we could Judge by what we saw on the way

Lecturer on Woman's -.ls ass, is said to have
recommended at Syracuse, that "the daught-
ers of this land should never commit matri-
mony" until their legal disabilities were re-

We think Miss Lucy has hit the nail on
the head at last. Just persuade all the young
ladies to agree to that, and we predict that
the men-old and young, legislators and
private citizens-will surrender at discretion.
As for Miss Lucy herself, doubtless she is

and doubtless you will bring at least one of
the male tyrants to due repentance and

THE WEATHER.-No Rain.-Will it ever

common salutations which pass between our

in our immediate vicinity of sufficient force to

tend for the supremacy. Few if any of our

VITALITY OF THE WING PARTY.-We cor
daily concur with the Baltimore Patriot,
when it says, "rhe Wing party cannot die
whilst constitutional liberty and the freedom
of legislation lasts. 1t belongs to no man.
1t is not identified with the success or failure
of any election. 1t is founded on principle;
and while there is Union to be preserved,
law to uphold, right to maintain, and good in
legislation to be done, the Wing party-call
it by what name you will-can never die. 1t
belongs to the peoplo-is of them and works
for them-and is, therefore, in no sense, de-
pendent upon the power and patronage of
the government to give it life. The maxim
that had its origin in the pristine days of re-
publican governments-andw which, through
long reverberations reaches our own'-tels
us that the price of liberty is eternal vigi-
lance It was for this that the Wing party
was organized-it was for this that it has
struggled-it is for this that it must live
standing as a sentinel on the watch-tower, to
guard and protect the liberty and rights of
the people, and to uphold the responsibilities
and duties of the government"

MEADOWS AND THE HAY MARKET.

mEADOWS AND THE HAY MARKET.
A few days since A. d. Reyes & Son put
hay press into operation near the Depot at
this place. This is the beginning of bust
ness that bids fair to become one of our
most profitable branches of trade. For sew
e.al years we have devoted this paper to the
advocacy ofinternal improvements, and have
shown how other sections were affected by
it, and predicted that our own would enjoy
similar results. Now we call attention to the
fulflment or rather the chances of fulfilling
our prophecies. This hay trade Is just be-
ginning, and it seems strange that more far
mers have not acted in view of it. The
counties through which our road runs are
composed of n succession of valleys, parallel
with each other, all watered by creeks and
branches of various sizes-every one of
which affords more or less meadow land
No country is Better watered. Much of this
land has been worked in corn and the small
grains, ever sihce the settlement of the coun-
try. These'lands need rest, and no crop
promises larger profits than hay. Indeed
more clear money can be made on this, than
upon any other crop now grown in this
country. We have heard lately of farmers
on Sweetwater who have cleared $50 per
acre. When we learn that hay has been
shipped to Atlanta for several years from
New England, and in many instances to
Dalton, it is easy to see how it would pay in
East Tennessee. Glover and all the grasses
grow luxuriantly on our lands, and this im-
proves the soil, while it pays better than
grain ever has or ever can. Let the grounds
be prepared, and then the farmer has only to
cut, cure and sell his crop. This need not
occupy more than month. The railroad
furnishes an easy access to market, and there
is always n good demand, at fair prices
There is substance in this, farmers; look to
your interest.

OUR NAVY.

In an article upon our Navy, the New Or
leans Delta says:
Never before, since the Declaration of In
dependence was a thorough preparedness for
war more necessary on the part of the United
States. The unsettled Fishery dispute-the
complex and humiliatng position of Central
American affairs-the cloud, "nO bigger than
mans hand" rising over Mexico-the obvi.
Gus designs of Louis Napoleon against the
North Pacific Islands and his partially for
territory, which is not altogether so far dis
tant from us-are surely Indictments enough
to an increase in our marine, and an improve
ment of the vessels which are now living use
less upon the stocks.
A glance ut the comparative forces of Eu-
ropean Governments, and the relative effec-
tiveness of their navy, rs displayed BY the
ships now cruising in the Turkish waters
dispatched there, by telegraphic notice, to
support the diplomatic agents of the several
nations in the recent difficulty, will show us,
in the most humlliating manner, how ill-pre-
pared is this country to grappe with its com
mercial rivals on the high seas. The follow
ing is an abstract of table which was fur.
nished to the New York Journal of Com
merce by it Partisan correspondent: Russia
was represented by 1879 guns, and 10000
men, and even this estimate is not supposed
entirely up to the mark: England sent 100
guns and 1900 men--a force which is to be
strengthened by several linc-of.battle ships,
which were ordered to sail from London
France showed 900 guns, and 5000 men, I'M
der Admiral Oefosscs; Turkey had 1894
guns and 10000 men, while the whole
available force of the United States

THE HARD SHELLS STILL KICKING
IN THE TRACES.

The morning organ of the hard shells of
New York; says the Herald, is doing its We
ry best to get up little party rebellion. 1t
calls upon the masses'of this city to come to-
gether in mass meeting, and show the trad
ing politicians what sort of principles they
want. 1t republishes the Compromise plat
form, and wants it, and intends to have it re-
enacted at all risks, as the platform of the
democratic party. It calls for convention
of the people, and threatens variety of ter
rble things when they speak. We suppose
the meaning of all this is, that the admins
tration has been giving too many of the big
loayes and large fishes to the soft shells, barn.
burners, and free soilers, in this bailiwick,
and that consequently there is abundant pro-
vocation to the hard shells for rebellion.
We very much fear, however, that these
same hard.shels can do. nothing, neither to
save themselves nor to rebuke Secretary Mar.
cy. If they could only reach that patch up
on his old leather breeches, they might bring
him to, and bind him fast. But they have
permitted the occasion to pass by, and their
rank and file have dwinded away to n mere
corpora's guard. Silenced in the coal-hole,
excluded from Tammany Hall, and voted
down in the cabinet, the hard shells may be
considered as pretty well used up. A mass
convention in these busy times, simply to re-
affirm the Baltimore platform, is no 60.
The only living chance for the poor hard
shells is to try it on again, at Albany, in the
Legislature Failing there, they will have no
other alternative than to surrender at discre-
ton to the Premier, and Prince John Van
Buren,, or to go over the fence and set up a
new party, in conjunction with the national
wings of the Castle Garden Union Safety
Committee. The lesser organ of that COM
mittee, which, for saving the Union in Wall
street, received as its reward some eight hun
dred subscribers, for one year, to keep it on
its legs, will, doubtless, rejoice at the june
ton of the hard shells with the Fillmore
wings. We pity, the hard shells, we sympa-
thse with the hard shells; they have played
their game badly, and have lost That's all
They may grumble and threaten; but the
game is lost. They are high and dry, like
the clans of Coonev Island at low tide -
Alas! for the poor hard shells! What can
they do?
