The Meeting last Saturday.

There were some features of marked and
striking interest in the proceedings of the
American Mass Meeting held in this city on
last Saturday, which deserve more than a
passing notice. Never we have seen so hopeful,
buoyant, indomitable spirit displayed by any
party Immediately after even nominal de-
feat. 1t was enough to I'll the hearts of patri-
otto Americans with emotions of delight, to
look upon the beaming faces of the hundreds
of intelligent and energetic men there assem-
bled to pledge anew their fidelity to their party
and their country, and take counsel with each
other upon the measures best adapted to Sc
cure future success. 1t was a soul-stirring de-
monstration, abundantly satisfactory and graf
flying to our friends, and cheeringly indicative
of a glorious sequel to the history of the
American party.
Never have we witnessed more cordial
unanimity of feeling and sentiment among so
many speakers of any political party. All
were bucyanty determined to prosecute the
conflict until victory shall gloriously crown
their efforts. All agreed that wherever we
had lost ground in the late canvass, the prin-
ciples of the American party had not been
thoroughly calculated, and freed from preju-
dice and misrepresentation by public discussion
Wherever the issues were properly presented
10 the public mind, in frequent, practical, mat
ter-of-fact discussions, there Americansm took
firm foothold, and in many instances attained
at this merely preliminary skirmish, high
vantage ground.
And the sentiment, we believe, very gene
rally prevailed, that we had suffered really not
so much from assaults upon our principles, as
upon minor points Of party organization and
discipline; and that wherever experience
teaches that mistake has been committed in
these subordinate particulars, the consequence
of which is that the principles of the party are
too likely TO be perverted, misconstrued and
misunderstood, such mistake should be correct
ed in the spirit of wise and prudent patriot
ism. To these suggestions, thrown out in the
first speech, by Col. Gentry, we heard no dis
sent during the day. We see similar sugges-
tons in some influential American Journals,
and we think it highly probable that the result
of the next National American Council will be
70 dispense with much of the cumbrous ma
chinery of the American order, resolving it,
more or less, into public political party-the
great AMERICAN party.
But we are DEPRESSING from our purpose,
and our crowded space admonishes US to be
brief. Suffice it to say, the vertable, redoubt-
able "Sam" had refreshing time here on Sat-
urday, and all his friends were delighted to
witness the substantial, recuperative power
displayed by the stalwart young native"

THE Corros oROP.-Ths N. o. Picuyune, Of the
18Th, says;
We have letter from Waterproof, TepsAs par.
Ism, which states that the rot ia cotton Is making
fearful ravGges In the crop in the ioweT part OF
that parish.
The vicksburg Wing, OF the same date, has the
following:
We have conversed with several planters living
10 this vicinity during the last week In relation TO
the growing cotton crop. They are oil Of The opin'
ion that the crop viii be q short one. They say
she late dry weather the bin lands has caused all
the late blooms 10 fall of-consequenutly there Is
no cotton on the stalk only what Is mAsured, there
fore the picking season wil soon be over, and the
crop light one.
The river lands are all more orl ess affected In the
same way. We copy the following from the Mon
roe (WAshita parish, La.,) Register, Of the 9Th
inst:
Il Is now thought that the cotton crop Win no,
turn out near as well a. was expected throughout

SUDDEN DEATH.-We learn from the Maryville
paper, that on Wednesday, the 18th instant, man
was found on the road side, between that place
and Knoxville, IN the agonies of death. He was
found in the neighborhood Of a spring, and his
death is supposed to have been Immediately induced
by drinking too much cold water. The name of
the unfortunate man was Leopold Maurer. He
was native of Saxony, and had been employed for
year or two at the Foundry at Athens, as q
machiList, and left there but short time SINCE
he was man of good education, and an excellent
mechanic. He is said to have had wife living at
Patterson, NJ

GREAT EsrERPRIsE.-Farnum, the great railroad
contract, is said to have cleared 100000 by bis
contractor to finish the Rock Island and Chicago
Railroad, by a given period-he reserving to him
self the privilege Of running the road, and securing
its revenues, it he completed it before the contract
time.
He did complete it twelve months before the date
for delivery, and has run the. road on his own &C
count, clearing 100000, and then turned it over
to the Directors-fnished.
This 5000, 900 is beside what he cleared on the
contract to build the road.
Farnum comes from the land of wooden nutmegs
and these chaps generally know that two and two
make four.
