WALKER AND THE PRESIDENT. There can no
longer be any doubt that the President fully sustains
Gov. Walker and his action in Kansas. The Cincin-
natl Enquirer, prominent Democratic journal, high
in the confidence Of the administration, speaks as
follows: -l.s
The President assumes his full share Of respons
bity for Walkers policy; and it was not on his, but
ON their account that we objected to the course Of
some of the Southern journals in attacking the Gov
ernor and sparing the President. 1t had not the
manly bearing which is expected from chivalric gen
tlemen, and looked too much like servity to powe,
and place for our TASTE Now happen to kno,c th
most certain and direct manner, that, while Mr. Bu
chanan regrets certain expressions which have faer
from Governor Walker in his speeches. he has not th
slightest hesitation in justfyng, sustaining, and up
holding the whole conduct and policy adopted by tn
| Governor in Kansas, and on that ground he and hi
friends are ready to do battle against all opposers
The editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer Judg
Walker-was some years ago editor of the New Or
leans Delta and was somewhat noted for his extrem
Suthern Rights views. The rights Of the South il
the Territories were always, apparently, uppermos
in his mind. change Of location seems to- hay
worked wondrous change in his ideas. Well, w
suppose it is all owing to the air he breathes Obi
air is not very favorable in its operation upon th
lungs of some Southerners. The Judge will be abb
to excuse himself on account of the air, perhaps.

ADRoIr OPERAToRs-A bold and successful con-
fdence game was played in Brooklyn a few days ago,
which is thus narrated in paper of that city:
A bold I" confidence game" was recently played in
Brooklyn N. Y. Mr.. and Mrs. Brown, who reside at
No. 70 Summit street, being the victims. Mr. Brown
and his wife left their house in charge of servant
girl while short visit to Coney Island. Last
Saturday two men, in a carriage, came to the house
one of whom delivered the following message % Mr.
and Mrs. Brown are at Coney Island. They intended
to remain few days; but Mrs. Browns health is i'm
proving slowly that they have concluded to spend
the summer, and they have accordingly sent me tc
get their plate and clothing" This statement cor
unsuspectng servant that she readily admitted the
fellows, who carried away all the valuable plate and
clothing they could find. Mr. and Mrs Brown re
turned two days after, when the astonished servant
learned how she had been imposed upon. The two
men remain undiscovered. ..,

WEATHER AND CRoPs.-From almost every quarter
of the State we hear complaints of too much rain,
and consequent injury to the cotton crop. In the
valley of the Yazoo and along the alluval bottoms
of the Mississippi the complaint is universal and we
fear from all we learn that the damage will be i'm.
mense. Rust and rot will soon be the prevailing cry,
and when the present wet spell passes off and is sue
ceeded, lit will be, by dry hot weather. the damage
caused by the cotton plant shedding its forms will be
incalculable. We do not see any help for short
CROP and the best of obviating that we beg
planting friends to pay strict attention to gather
ing what they do make in the best possible manner
A short crop is secured, and there is no reason
why it should not be gathered, and put up in capital
condition. A little attention in gathering, ginning
and packing will insure good marketable article
and greatly enhance the price.

e FROM KANsAs-The St. Louis Republican pub
fishes letter Of the 9th ult. from Delaware City,
Kansas, from which we extract the following:
Politics are, at present, at low ebb in the Terri
tory. There to be nothing for the leaders of
either party to do, and both lying low and keep
ing as dark as possible.
The Utah troops are camped at Fort Leavenworth,
in grove on the river bank making the least pos
sibe stir, and having the least possible amount Of
labor to perform. FE
Governor Walker and his men are camped at Law
renee just without the town. They are also inactive
at present, but how long they will remain is mat
mater Of conjecture with the people of Lawrence. So
far as we could learn, Governor Walker had not
visited the town, or held any communication with the
citizens further than contained in his proclamation,
which preceded him. He seems to be merely en-
camped in the suburbs, and waiting for the coming
of some expected event. That event is supposed by
the people OF Lawrence to be the election ordered by
the bogus Governor, to take place in the Territory
| next Monday.
The Free State men say that an election as ordered
by Robinson will certainly take place, aud Jim Lane
and others, of the same stamp have been harangnng
the people to maintain their right at the point Of the
bayonet. Very little notice seems to Be taken Of
Lane by the peaceably disposed people of his own
party. 1t was lately suggested to him to become a
candidate for Congress. His reply was :" Not yet
have more work to do in Kansas first"

We heartily wish this heated term would terminate.
Old Sol has poured down his perpendicular rays in
manner perfectly relentless for two weeks past.
We have not had rain enough in Bastrop within the
last five weeks to wet the earth four inches and ser
Gus apprehensons are entertained by the farmers on
the highlands that the and cotton crops will be
very short unless we have rain in few days. Every
days continued drought now will shorten the corn
crop thousands of bushels.
We have had a delightful shower since the above
was written.
The Shreveport Gazette Of the 1st inst. says:
Will not some of our intelligent planters make
move for the establishment of an Agricultural Ass0-
citation in this parish We that one has been late
ly organized in the parish Of Bienvile, and win no
doubt in other parishes, auxiliary to the AgTicul
tural and Mechanics Fair Association Of Louisiana
Such an association in Gaddo will be Of incalcula-
BILE benefit to the agricultural interests Of the parish.
1t will bring the planters together and make common
to the whole parish any Improvement in field or

fruit trees. Will one move in the matter? Be
