of the 9th says:
If two more timely rains should fail during
the growing season, corn will be drug" in uli
this eastern portion off, AlaLama. In the local..
ties with which we are best. acquainted, we a;s
confident we have not seen any such promises
of corn since 1885, In the first place the early
drought, until very fs" days before the recent
rairs, seemed 10 have no effect upon the growth
Of the plant; il grew, and grew, and grew, eve
ry day getting more darky and beautifully
green. On the Railroad from this to West
Point, there has never been such q growing
crop, within our knowledge; in the. prairies we
learn it is still vastly superior. In fact from
every quarter, it is said 10 be superb. Within
few days, we have seen that rara aris sn ter7,s,
farmer satisfied with his own prospects!--
Think of that We have Seen one thus satisfied,
and several who think that If the rains continue,
nothing like famine need be expected.
The calculation now is, we believe, that tho
new crop will open at fifty cents here. In vari-
GUS portions of the surrounding country, whesc
the demand is more limited, the price will :be
lower.
AS for wheat. the yield in Talladega, Talk
poosa, Chambers and Macon is better, even,than
wus anticipated.

AMERICAN BARBEeUE.-On Wednesday Iast

dressed the people of De Soto, at Mansfield. ON
the objects and principles Of the American
party. His audience, consisting of ladies and
gentlemen, was the largest we ever witnessed
in this parish. 1t was estimated by many at no
less than thousand, The great orator and
statesman, in q speech of more than three
hours duration, proved to the satisfaction of
every unbiased and impartial hearer, the immi-
nent danger to our country resulting from the
foreign vote, the corruption Of old line politi-
clans, and the Indispensable necessity of such
measures as are recommended by the American
party. In adverting to the Kansas Nebraska
bill, and showing the fragrant violations of the
constitution IN allowing ahens-unnaturalized
foreigners Ito vote, thus supplying material for
aoolitionists to successfully operate on he threw
down his glove, and challenged any gentleman
of the opposition to takeiit up, and successfully
discuss t-alluding particularly to our member
OF Congress who was present But not a soli-
tary voice was heard from the Antics to refute
the incontrovertible position he took, and loei-
cally maintained on the numerous questions of
public policy and constitutional right and duty
now before the American people. His speech
OF his audience, but to their reason and calm
reflection 1t was purely argumentative, and
absolutely irrefutable. The mind that can lis
ten to such arguments as were advanced by Mr..
Hunt, and still oppose the reformatory mea-
sures of the American party, must indeed be
dead to the possibility Of conviction, with every
faculty elouded by party prejudice. His speech
was too lengthy to admit even synopsis of it
into our columns. He was attentively and ap-
provingly listened to throughout Mansfield

san papers its lists tof 's Jakes," who are soft
enough to allow themselves to be held up to the
that wherever one "Jake''@ withdrew a dozen
ssSams" entered, and scores of members, true
to the principles of the great American party,
have remained steadfast in the support of their
cause Theses Jakess stand confcssedly con-
victed of having once at least been dissatisfied
with the old parties to which they belonged,
and of having plighted their honor to assist in
removing the evils which threaten and infect
our country. The public parade of their names
therefore merely points them out to the world
as partisansl and dupes, unworthy of the
confidence which by their own voluntary acts
was reposed in them. lMansfield Ode Sotol Ad-
