THE AMERICAN STATE TrcKET-We this week
hoist at our masthead the names of the nominees of
the American State Convention, which assembled in
Baton Rouge on the sth instant. The choice made
by the Convention is one which has met with the
universal appreciation of the party throughout the
State. They are all good men and true, and deserve
richly the encomiums that have been pronounced upon
| them by the American press
| The Convention itself was orderly, and composed
of the first intelects Of the State. praiseworthy
unanimity Of feeling peryaded its deliberations and
the enthusiasm which exai!ed is sure evidence Of
the success of the ticket in November next. Cheer
ing intelligence Of the feelings Of the party in every
portion Of the State is in its tendency calculated to
imbue every member of the party with warm desire
for its success.

FROM ST.. MARY PARIsH.-The Franklin Journal,
of Thursday last, says: fs5s
The weather in this immediate vicinity up to yes
terday has been excessively warm and dry On yes-
terday, however, the heavens were overcast and our
planters were blessed with slight shower, not suf-
icient. however, to affect any good. There has been
an abundance of rain in some portions of the parish.
The corn and cane are suffering very much for rain
hereabouts- more particularly the corn. The health
of our citizens was BETTER We hear of no sick
ness of any kind.
GREAT Discovery OF PEARLs.-A late number OF
the Oswego IN. " Times says: 7tsle
We saw to-day three hundred and TWENTY-FIVE
pearls which were obtained yesterday, by John l..
Pool of this city in small stream south OF here not
far from Fitch Corners. They were obtained by
opening about seven hundred muscles. Among the
number possessed by Mr.. Pool we saw greater pro-
portion Of large and beautiful ones than have yet
seen one in particular, is to be noted for its size
clearness and brillancy. A Jew pedlar from New
York, who saw these pearls, said they were worth
$1,000, and, we presume, would have been very glad
to get them at that price. Taking for standard the
price of those obtained in New Jersey, they are
worth five times the sum- A. R. Ford, one Of the
jewellers of this city, will send specimens to n. York.
and we shall learn their price more definitely in few
days.
Mr.. Ford is of the opinion that the production Of
pearls in this latitude is owing to disease which
prevails among the muscles, and that if they had
been produced previously, somebody would have dis
covered it. -
WEATHER IN MoBnE.-The Advertiser of Satur-
day says: .s #s---,
The weather on Thursday night underwent con-
siderable change. Early in the evening the wind
chopped round to the north and blew fresh from that
quarter all night. The consequence was, yesterday
morning the mercury had fallen to IS degrees
about twelve degrees lower than at the same hour the
previous morning. Yesterday the atmosphere was
pure and quite cool enough for pleasure about rs de-
grees marking the highest range of thermometer
in places unexposed to the sun.
We had two or three fine showers day or two ago.
and we shall probably hear of more copious and eN-
tensive rains in the "up-country" occasioning the
change in the weather. -
For NANTUCKET SouND.-The U. S. coast survey
schooner Bowdtch, soon to sail, has on board Mr..
MitGhells surveying party, who are engaged upon
relations with physical geography. This new and
fruitful field of labor, falling, as it does, peculiarly
within the province OF coast survey, has for its OBJ
ject the study of those agencies to whose constant
