There are in this city, for example,
some ten thousand voters who have joined

these are members either of the Whig or
Democratic parties, and most Of them are
active, aspiring politicians. These have
taken solemn obligation TO support and
vote !of such cat.dinatcs as the superior
Councils of the order may nominate. In
the face Of these obligations. these mem
bers attend the primary meetings Of their
respective parties, and there help 10 make
nominations; there, too. they obtain nomi
nations when they can. Blu. it is all a
"paten, safe" operation, they seem to be
partisans Of Clark. or Bronson. or Sey-
mour; but in secret they are pledged to
Ullman. and mus, violate, either their SOL

his business, who could respect or trust

Count Raou,set De Boulbon.

A late number Of the New York Herald
contains biographical sketch Of this talented
individual, whose enterprising spirit and un-
timely end have made his name familiar to the
American public. We make therefrom the fol-
ing extracts:
"The Count CASTOR Raousset de Boulbon
was descended from one of the most ancient
families Of Provence. His ancestors originally
came from Italy, where they were known under
the historical name of Radul6. From this
patronymic was derived the present family
name Of Raousset, the other local sppellation
being taken from their seat, the Chateau de
Bourbon, near Tarancon, on the Rhone. 1t
was found necessary in 1898 to alter this un-
popular designation into De Boulbon, and
thus it has continued ever since. BY many
the count was supposed to be the illegitimate
offspring of one OF the Bourbon princes; but
the idea, in all probability, arose from his com
pliance with the common French practice Of
sinking the title Of the family in that Of the
domain.
"The education Of the young count was
committed almost entirely TO the hands of the
Jesuits. After he left college, he
tried his hand OF almost everything. Alter
nately painter, poet, dramstist, agriculturist,
manufacturer, and soldier, he displayed une.
quivocal evidence Of talent in all his efforts,
reminding people, by bis facility Of adaptation,

Young count should in short time have made
rapid inroads upon his fortune. DESTROYS Of
repairing the injury which he had done to his
estate, he went to Africa served q campaign
on the staff Of the Due D'Aumsle, by whom
he was greatly esteemed, snd then settled down
as a colonist. He was on the high road to
prosperity when the revolution Of lS48 broke
out and completely ruined him. He was com.

soon distinguished himself by the violence of
his opinions he was thrown into prison, and
his paper suppressed. After several months
confinement, he was liberated at the interces-
sion Of some powerful friends, and crossed
over TO England, where he continued TO reside
for short time. The prosac character and

became dstasteful to him, and with his devour.

s4- The Montgomery (Alabama) Advertiser
aud Gazette expresses itself very warmly against
the course Of two of the most prominent peri
odicals Of the day-Putnam and Harper. Its
structures are not less just than severe. Under
the date Of August 3lst, it days Putnam's
Magazine for the current month (September,)
reached our bookstores several days since, and
its readers were no little surprised to find its
leading article breathing as pure a6olitionism
as we are accustomed to find in the columns Of
the New York Tribune, the Times, and the Ma
tional Era. We are proud to learn that on
discovering the character of this article, our
booksellers at once boxed up the numbers they
had received, and returned them to the pub
Usher. This is as it should be. That Magazine
has had a large circulation in the South, and
for this reason it has been seized upon by the
Abolitionists as a means of distributing their
doctrines and insulting abuse of our people.
or course, no friend Of the South will ever again
touch the filthy publication.
Sand, while on the subject, we caution our
readers against Hasper's Magazine, which is
edited and published by abolitionists; and
which also, in its August number, had an arti
Gle from the editor, ably but insidiously written
aimed at our institutions, and in this respect
not one whit behind the obnoxious article in
Putnam's. 1t, too, must and will be cut by our
booksellers. Do not let us pay these fanatics
for their abuse of US"
The Advertiser adds:
n "When these monthlies were first started,
they promised not to interfere in political
matters, and soon gained very large patron
age in the south. They have now 'waxed fat
and turn upon those who helped to build them
up. Let them at once be dropped-ostracised
by every southern reader"

Corn Crop.--A correspondent OF the cincin.

Corn Crop.-A correspondent OF the Cincin-

1.-THE advices from the corn crop throughout

IN the western portion Of Ohio, including The
Miami and Scioto bottoms, and all the northwest
ern part OF the State, the corn promises well and
will yield full average crop. In the northern
portion OF Indiana and Illinois, the crop is also
good, aud the same remarks will apply 10 Michi-
gan, Iowa, Minnesota, and the north, rn part OF
Missouri. From the southern States, the advces
are very encouraging, so that taking the whole
west together, there is no cause for alarm, nor is
there much safety in speculalions based upon
failure Of the corn crop. We bear Of no place
however, where the potato crop is good or even
mddling. The above Information we have from
experienced men, who have il from personal OBJ.
servstion. We conversed yesterday with gen.
teman from Minnesota, and he says the crops in
that State never looked better any year since he
has lived there. In the northeastern portion Of
Ohio and western Pennsylvania, there is no doubt
that the drought has proved disastrous TO corn
aud potatoes, and in these sections there will
doubtless be a scarcity.
