The CRoPs IN EAST MIssIssIpPI-The Pauldine
Clarion of the 10th inst has the following in relation
to the crops in that region:
The crops in East Mississippi, from what we learn
are likely to vary very much in different counties ani
neighborhoods. A letter from Neshoba says:a
we have had no rain here for six weeks; the corr
crop is rained, and cotton suffering severely. New
corn will be worth at least 81 90 per bushel wher
housed.n
On the other hand a gentleman from Noxubee in
forms that in most parts of that county the crops
both of corn and cotton are fine. New corn can be
engaged at 80 cents per bushel. In portions of this
county the crops are toerably good, while in Others
they are well nigh ruined The same rule, we are
disposed to think will hold nearly all over the East

THE DOUBLE GAME. Difference Of 0pinion.-
Democratic taccians in the South are trying to pro-
duce the impression, first that Fillmore has no
strength; second: that his sympathes are all with
the North. Horace Greeley knows rather more about
these things than they. What he thinks NAV be
known from the following extract from the New
York Tribune:
And when to these are added the great make weight
of the Fillmore know.Nothing organization, more
bitterly hostile to Fremont and Dayor than even the
office holders party, and but for which our triumph
IN every free State would hardly cost struggle we
tell our c9ahorers that the battle is not yet Won and
that 1t will require efforts and sacrifices on the part OF
the great body Of earnest supporters of Fremont and
Dayton to insure their election.
No, the free soil battle is not yet won, nor will
it ever be as long the patriotic national organization
headed BY Mard Fillmore has an existence. Let the
fanatics rave on.

EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE AT BLUE RIDGE

writing from Stanton, Va, under date of the l4th
inst, says: "
A remarkable occurrence took place at the Blue

before him changed suddenly from hard to soft and
that the soft was wet. Shortly afterwards stream
of water issued from an ortice he had made This
was succeeded by heavy mmbling sound q like the
cars,' which so frightened the hands that they all
made for the open air. Well was it for them that
they did so! The sound continued to grow louder
and louder for some minutes, till crash was heard
and Immediately vast stream of water rolled out of
the tunnel An eyewitness says that the head of the
stream at least ten feet high and that it swept
carts and baEows before it "like chatf." The stream
continued to pour a perfect river till II o'clock,
when it gradually suhsided, and was low enough at
p. NJ. to allow US to make a hasty survey of its
cause 1t seems that there is, in the middle of the
mountain, an immense cavern or pocket, in which
water from the melting has been deposited for
years. and that the line of the tunnel taps this cavern
near its centre. The cavern is OF immense extent
and will save the State q good deal of money since
nature has opened road through near three hundred
feet of solid rock. This will expedite the completion
OF the tunnel greatly-in fact would not be sur

"A TERRIBLE STORM ON THE R1vER-INe Steamer
National nearly Demolished-The steamer National
our regular Memphis and St. Louis packet, encoun
tered a terrible storm on Monday afternoon, when
near Randolph. She had taken on board about 300
sacks of corn at Mr.. John Watkins landing and
was just rounding out from there when the wind
struck her. and completely swept both chimneys over
board, level with the deck. In their fall the boiler
deck roof was considerably smashed in. On the lar
board or the left side the roof was stripped to the
wheelhouse, leaving the clerks Office the belths and
the pantry completely exposed. The pieces of ROOF
blew up on one end, lodging against the pilothouse
and was there standing whenshe came in port yester
day.
The damage to this boat is near $500, apart from
the loss OF time by having to undergo repairs. She
will be put in complete repair as soon as possible
when she will again take her place.
Notwithstanding there was great confusion and ex
citement during the storm board, we are happy tc
state that no lives were lost We feel sorry for hel
owners, for the National was popular boat and was
doing well. We hope they will have better luck next

1t is source of qualification to know that if the
election Of President should go into the House, the
State of Missouri will be true to Mr. Fillmore. The
American party there have had to deal with many
back sets. The treachery of two old line Wings and
the death Of of their own members told heavily
in a State whose entire representation was only
seven. But thanks to their firmness the vacancy is
filled by an American, and the present delegation
stands yet four Americans, one Democrat, and two
Whig- -Buchananites. Neither Fremont nor Buchanan
stand any chance in the present House. s
