they threw at each other with infinite gusto.
Shortly after newspapers were resorted To-,
and large paper pellets We're sren flying
through the hall in all directions. The Clerks
desk was favorte point OF attack, and even
the Speakers chair did not escape. The
honorable members, however, were not con-
tent with these descriptions of missiles, and
commenced throwing volumes of statutes,
laws, &c, at each other, to the unbounded
delight of themselves and audience whenever
good hit was made. The applause was lond
and frequent from gallery, Hobbies, and every
part OF the hall. Between eight and nine Il
recess was taken, and then the fun grew 'fist
and turiOus.' Songs were sung, amid up
roatious shouts, confusion worse c0nfounded'
reignrd Supreme, aud to crown the whole,
about half past nine, stag dance to the
strains of not badly played violin, WAS in
active progression, when messages from the
Senate and Governor temporarily arrested
these ediiying and appropriate amusements.
And to make the story short, the tumult and
confusion continued to increase, to grow
worse and worse, more and more disreputa-
BILE, up to the very moment of adjournment.
The only redeeming feature of the evening
was the good humor that universally pre-

The Crops.

The Little Rock (Arli.) Democrat, of the
26th ult., says: awe had a most pleasant
trip through the counties of Jefferson, Ar
kansas and Desha, and were exceedingly
pleased to witness the exhibitions there of
such great prosperity. The promise of a
plentiful harvest was never greater. FL
ner crops of corn and oats, we do not think
we ever beheld. The cotton crop, though
pretty good, was not so promising. The
drouth in the months of April and May was
the cause of the seed not coming up until
late, and consequently on many plantations,
the plant was quite small"
Ej|A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger, who has just returned from a tour
through the Western portion of North Car
DINA, and having frequently been there be-
fore, at the same season, compares the crops
of this season with those of former years.
The wheat is all harvested, and the yield
will greatly exceed that of any former year,
so many acres never before having been
sown, and each acre producing equal to any
former year. A large yield of corn is prom
ised. Although backward from the cold and
rain, it looks green and healthy. The far
mers are in fine spirits, and the business
affairs in good condition.
