American Party Of South Carolina.

CHARLESTON, Aug. IL.
At meeting Of the American party of South
Carolina in Charleston on Monday night, in State
Council, the principles and objects declared most
important are contained in the second, third fourth
and sixth resolutions.
The second resolves that the term Catholic, and
all sembsnce of religious test be stricken from
the official record and obligations Of the Order in
the State and that all natives be eligible to the Or
der and capable of its suffrage who shall renOunce
all foreign temporal and ecclesiastical jurisdiction
aud influence.
The third declares, that while we deprecate Ro-
msh politicO sectarian influence in America, we are
inexorsbly opposed to sny law respecting estab
lshment of religion, prohibiting the free exercise
thereof or any law which applies religious test
That our opinion, as men, however, approves the
principle OF seltgOvernment IN Church ~ State, and
We do not approve ecclesiastical polity which
has its source and authority in foreign land aud
single potentate, and that We 'Orbear TO sustain
those who, from either political sectsran motives
opposs contemplated reforms.
The fourth declares, that we disapprove the
adoption of any law which shall affect disturb the
previous existing legal privileges conferred nat.
uralized citizens.
The sixth declares that We renounce and repudi-
ate all connection with those Councils, State and
Subordinate, or members, in the nOn-savehOding
States, who have rejected the American Platform
of the National Council, the Slavery issues, and
hold that they no longer constitute a part Of the
Order or party which adopted it.

ROr IN THE CoTToN.-A friend yesterday
Says the Natchez Courier of the Sd inst.) left
at our Office part Of cotton stalk, upon
which were two open bols of cotton, one
sound boil and nineteen bolls affected by the
rot, and most Of them entirely rotten. We
learn further, that this is not, by any means,
an unusual specimen, the rot having appeared
in many places to great extent The planter
in whose field the specimen in question grew,
informs us that it will not surprise him, if he
only makes twenty five or thirty bales, instead
of an hundred and fifty as he expected ten DAYS
ago. The disease is not confined to his place
it has appeared on all the surrounding plan
tstions. The worst feature about the present
rot is its early appearance. Last year it began
In September, and cut the crop off great deal
Beginning now in July, if not arrested, it will
do much greater injury.

There is no exigency now calling for such q

THR CIVIL WAR IN CHINA continues TO dis
tract that country without prospect of ter
mination. The Rev. DR.. PARKER, long an
official resident of China, has just returned to
New York, and the Express says he regards
all hope of the spread of christianity by the
success of the insurgents as utterly grOundless.
SO far as the religion of the people is concern
ed, one party might as well triumph as the
other, but at present there are no signs of the
speedy success of either side. The insurgents
are masters of half the country, but have made
little progress since their repulse in attempting
the conquest of Pekin. Fortune inclines al
ternately to one side and the other-many of
the people remaining neutral, waiting for some
indications of success, that they may join the
triumphant party. ~"

AMERICAN DENTIsTs.-The Philadelphia BuI-
letin, in an article on he recent Dental Con-
ventioD, remarks that it IS universally admitted
that the dentists of America are the first in
the world, and that the most eminent in Paris
for years, have been Americans, and German
dentist knows no higher praise for any i'm
provement in his profession than TO term it
American. 1t is easily enough explained, with
out going far. They have more experience
There is no country in the world where there
are so many rotten teeth.

S. HARRlsoN, son of the late President Harri-

CoKN.-The Lebanon Herald says: The corn
crop of this county is now made. We don't
think we are mistaken when we say that il is
the best crop ever made in the county. Some
think that it will be worth 81 per barrel, 9TH
ers that it will not be worth more than fifty
cents. We have heard of it being offered at
seventy five cents at the pile.
Meal is worth fifty cents per bushel, from
the Wagon in this market. Flour two dollars
and fifty by retail, two dollars aud twenty-five
by wholesale.

THE CoTToN CRoP.-The Memphis Wing
says: From almost every portion of this re-
gion of the cotton growing country we hear
very favorable reports of prospects of the
crop, which is now fast maturing and spening,
ready for the pickers to commence operations
in the field. While the growth is very luxuri-
ant, the stocks are well filled from top to bot
tom with bolls, blooms and squares, and the
more mstured bolls are opening rapidly.
Already three bales of the new crop have
been received, against one bale at this time
last year, and sold at good prices, say 81 cts,
for the first, 10 cents, for the second, and 1Oi
for the third. These are considered as fancy
prices, and cannot be regarded as criterion of
what the market will open at, but so far as we
are able to gather opinion, we think the
range of prices will be from to 9 cent.
