CROPS IN YALoBUsuA, MIss.-The Granada Re-
publican of Saturday last says:
Those who planted very early have, in consequence
Of the recent iross, been compelled to plough up and
plant second time. Others have had their corn
bitten twice by the frost but think it will yet make
good crop. Those who had their cotton in the
ground at the time will sustain considerable damage
The wheat crops have been materially injured in
some localities. Some of planters will have to
pow their wheat ill., aud plant some other crop i'll its
stead. In some localities wheat has escaped injury.
The first crop is almost entirely cut off. There will
be no peaches and but very few apples and plums.

daughter to remain at his house for few weeks until
he could procure home for her, which was granted.
In few days the man and negroes mysteriously dis

This statement shows concusvely that the Amer,
cans who deserted their own candidate, voted for
Pratte, the pro-slavery Democratic candidate. Ii
would be well for these SagNicht organs that so
fast in charging Freesoilsm upon the American party
to remember that the Winner or Freesoil party in St
Louis is composed exclusively of Buchanan Demo
crats. Will they let their Southern readers know this
fact? 1t will be bazoned in large capitals in every
Northern Democratic organ to prove to the Freesoi
ers that the Southern Democracy are ready to aid
them in their schemes for roofing ont slavery but il
will be carefully concealed from the Southern Democ
racy for fear they should suspect the soundness Of the
party which openly advocates Freesoilism in slave
holding State The Democratic party is greater thai
paganini. He could only play one tune at time on
one string, but the Democracy manage to play two
entirely different tunes at the time on the SAINT
string. louisville Journal 18th.

ANOTHER FIRE IN ElCKsBuRG.--From the Nicks
burg Times, of Menday last, we extract the foowng
Our citizens, to whom the sound of the fre-bell
has recently become quite painfully familiar, were
startled from their sumbers again Saturday morn
ing, between and o'clock, the alarm being caused
by the burning of the wharEboat, which, after burn
ing to the waters edge sunk in about fifteen feet of
water.
The loss of the boat itself is comparatively incon-
siderable, but there good deal of valuable pro-
perty destroyed belonging to the proprietor of the
wharfboat B. j. Butler Esq, who is at this time on
his way down the river with new and commodious
boat designed to replace the one destroyed by the
fire. Mr.. Joseph Botto, and Isaac, who owned the
grocery establishments the boat lost their entire
stock but have not learned its value but suppose
it must amount to S. 900.
Mr.. 7. D. Morton, from Lexington, Ky, sustained q
serious loss by the destruction of about four thousand
dollars worth of iewelry, which he had stored the
boat. Two valuable horses, the property of Mr.
Butler and the other Of the clerk Mr.. Walker were
consumed in he flames, though every possible effort
was made to save them.
Between eighty and hundred barrels of flour
marked for Canton, that were piled on the landing
near the fire, destroyed, together with much
other valuable freight AS we ascertained there was
no insurance upon the boat or any of the property
we have named. The flames did the work of de
structon with fearful rapidty, and nothing was
saved but the books and papers of the proprietor.
The origin of the fire has not been ascertaned, but
it it is believed to have been caused by sparks blown
from a steamer that landed during the night.

on now, that's all going to give you - imply
ing that there were no more sick to be sent home then
and no deserters Col. Lockridge had been busy up
to the time OF the departure OF the Tennessee in pre-
pairing to leave for Aspinwall, with view to join
Gen. Walker. At Kelly's store he had appealed to
his men TO know how many would accompany him
the British fleet would permit no tlibster to leave
under restraint. About $50 declared their readiness
to follow him. but number of these were killed or
severely wounded by the explosion. 1t was thought,
though by means certain, that he would take not
far from 100 men with him to join Walker Lockridge
seemed to have means enough at his command, but
was slightly economical in disbursng. In all proba
bility he procured vessel and left San Juan within
few days after the departure OF the Tennessee. When
our informant left Col Anderson on the sick list
| having been sCaded at the time of the explosion
Gen. Wheat was in prime condition and fat as mack

pacity Of Col Lockridge as commander, but it wa:
believed that difficulty would be removed when tht
