CONGRESSIONAL RkTURNs.-We lack the vote Of
Hawkins in the first, and of Monroe in the third
congressional district to complete tables of re-
suits in those districts We have already announced
the reelection of Watkins and Smith, but We desire
to publish the full official returns for the sake of flu
ture reference, and as matter of interest to our
readers living in those districts. As the officers,
whose duty it was to forward the returns to the
Office ofthe Secretary of State have thus far neglect
ed to discharge that duty, we would thank some
friend in those counties to send US the vote.

The average guam ury at both places, is 46 inches
The period from 1881 to 1889 shows more variation
than the latter years. The greatest quantity was
81 inches and the smallest 20, making difference
of SO inches. 1t is said that the year 1889, which
only shows 90 inches of water, was the most pro-
ductivs crop year on the list and my opinion fsvOrs
that conclusion.
In the details of the tables, it is shown that Sep
TENDER is the dryest month in the year, and October
next.
The range Of the Thermometer for the nine years
mentioned, shows 9belOw zero, and SO above as the

Lztilude 34e 90 and 80 l0'.
The Spring of 1857, presented remarkable pheno-
mena. in temperature, late sfrosts and cold winds
which made the Cotton crop late one in coming
ND. and late in commencing to make fruit. To say
the least Of it, this was unfavOrable beginning
and many hold the position that the time lost in the
Spring never be regained and therefore an aver
age crop cannot be made.
Feeling confident that the demand will be equal to
the supply, and that the price viii be remuneratve
to the growth, have undertaken to gather some
reliable facts concerning the progress Of this and
other crops which may to correct the opinions
Of those who keep no records and may be useful for
future reference. 90 - = -
The Cotton plant differs from all grain crops. 1t
is q continuous bearer for period longer than a
year, in favorable locality. Some say for three
years In the United States it grows and continues
to bloom and bear until checked by cold weather Or
frost Though it be annual in production in this
climate, yet the same economy of the plant is pre-
served. 1t makes an effort to reproduce, but some
disaster overtakes it, and the produce is destroyed
The effort is again and continued till check
ed by frost. e'''
Corn, wheat and other grains make one effort only;
and if that fails the crop is lost This constitutes
the striking difference between the Cotton plant,
and other crops with which it is usually compared.

to destroy the continued vital energies Of the plant

This makes an average OF the 22d June for bloom
ing for this latitude This year, 1857, owing
tOcontiDued cold weather, produced no bloom till
the 10th july being days later than any previous
year, and Is days later than average date. How
near forcing growing season can bring up that late
start, is left to be seen.

/ COPPER IN THE SEA.--Experiments are now in pro-
gress to show that the sea is constantly charged with
a solution Of copper. Mr.. Septimus Piesse caused
bag of iron nails to be hung from the side of stea-
mer passing between Marseiiles and Nice, and OBJ
tanned precipitation of copper upon the iron. He
finds the same metal in the substance of animals
.-onthe blade Of knife and leaving it there for
twenty-four hours, when on the removal of the
oyster the copper will be found on the knife. In Mr.
Piesses opinion, the beautiful blue color of some
portion of the Mediterranean is due to an ammonia
cal salt of "copper" while the greenness of other
is owing to the chloride of copper. ----- .----

Oar readers VIII reoollect With what joy the op-
position papers Of Tennessee hailed the first intell.
eence Of the election Of Rollins Governor of Mis-
souri, Later returns show that their rejoicing was
premature as Stewart is in all probability the sue
csssful candidate. But in order that the people Of
Tennessee may know what manner of man this Rol-z
Inns is, Overwhose success the party organs fKnow
NOthingism exulted 50 loudly, we call their atten-
ton to the following letter from st. Louis abolition
list in relation thereto which we clip from the cor
respondent Of the N. Y. Tribune:
THE TRIUMPH IN MISSOURI.
To the Editor Of the " T. Tribune: =
sR: WhatSan amazing change has come over our
noble State of Missouri since the passage of the
Kansas-N ebraska act! AT that time, it required
great frmness to Withstand the pressure brought to
bear upon sill who dissented from and condemned
that measure The reign Of terrorism, usually SUI
prene in slave communities, prevailed here. Saver
al Of Congressional Representatives would glad
ly have opposed that most nefarious measure. None
but Benton did. Since then, the march of events
and progress of opinion have been rapid. We have
foisted upon Kansas Missouri Legislature, which
has been recognized by the National Administration
getting in the interests of Slavery Extension. The
Wakerusa wer, the sack of Lawrence the closing of
the Missouri River, the invasion of Kansas by the
Sc Law and Order army" under Atchson and Reid,
State shares with the Administration of Pierce,
Cushing and Davis the responsibility of these out
RACES. Its organs have encouraged and defended
them. Even in this city, they have not blushed to
do So This has led to thought and 6iscussion.-
The result of that discussion and contestaon Of the
claims to respect of the |" National Democracy is
now seen in the election Of Rollins to the Guberna
torial chair of this State Disguise 1t they may,
the defeat ofSewart is severe blow to that party,
and is felt here to be SUCH 1t is true, the issues
were not clearly defined; but the National Demo
cracy here as elsewhere is committed TO the Stay
cry Extension side of the great question of the day.
Itdevotes itself here elsewhere to the aggrandze
ment' of that one interest. 1t may almost be said
TO know no other interest worthy of governmental
protection but "Niggers!" " Nggers!' Niggers~
The result of the election of Rollins will be to abate
somewhat the claims of that most noble institution,
and with that sensitiveness to approaching danger
that it has, always exhibited-a sensitiyeness sur
passing that of the stock market in troubled times
it will doubtless seek ere long more genial cline
than the State of Missouri. There will be no re-
grets here at its disappearance, and no doubt its
departure will be fastened by an organized move
ment to drive it hence. Its downfall isforeshadow
ed by that of the party whose special aim is its pro-
lection and extension ---i1 la ass s1%e
