THE COTTON CROP IN MIssIssIPPI.-The Vicksburg Whig, of Saturday last, says:
 We have conversed with several planters living in the vicinity during the last week in relation to the growing cotton crop. They are all of opinion that the crop will be short one They say the late dry weather on the hill lands has caused all the late blooms to fall off-con- sequently, there is no cotton on the stolk only what is nearly matured-therefore, the picking season will soon be over, and the crop light one. We believe the river lands are all more or less affected in the same.

 The scattering column of know nothings, like a bruised serpent, trails it's Responding length back to the caverns from whence it came.- There is no longer refuge for it in the south. Its only safety is in an immediate departure for the north. There, with its kindred calamities of abolitionism and in6delity, it may be able to hibernate till the spring of 1856, when, with a new name and honest leaders, it may forage for a brief period on the credulous and the unsus- pecting. There is no more hope for it in the land of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Macon, and King. The people of the south have re- ceived 1t like an invader, and repelled it like a pestilence.
 This concludes the boasted nationality of the know nothing party. Its northern followers have almost unanimously repudiated the Phi ladelphia platform; and now its southern disci- pes have not been able to escape crushing de- feat by the aid of that platform. Its only strength is in the strength of abolitionism Its only hope is in the success of the foes of the constitution and of the south It has once more been resolved into it's original shape and design, and will henceforward be doomed to the fate its southern idolators have so seduously labored to avoid-that of being 8 newer of wood and drawer of water for Clleely, Garri- son, Hale, Giddings, Chase, and their confede- rates S-WUsh Union

The evidence against them is said to be of the strongest character- Several robberies, and to considerable amounts have been perpetrated in that quarter, within the last year. Col.

Although but little is left of what few short months ago promised to be a powerful and all conquering party, yet the process of tumbling to pieces still continues with the know nothings It will be remembered that short time since the Louisiana know nothing State council repu- diated the anti Catholic plank of the Philadcl- pha platform. It now seems that their action in turn has been repudiated by some of the subordinate councils in that State, as will be seen by the following proceedings which we find in our New Orleans exchanges
