BoY-MURDErER TO RE HANGEn.-This morning.
in the Supreme Court, James Rodgers, the boy who
murdered John SwanstOn, in Tenth avenue was or
dered to be executed on Friday, the 18th day of
November next. Rodgers had respectable connec-
tiOns living in the country, but coming this city,
he soon led into evil courses. One night, while
engaged in drunken frolic with two of his young
associates, he met Mr.. Swanston, Il respectable old
gentleman, walking in the street with his WIFE
Some of the party josted against Mr.. SwanstOn,
few words passed between them, and Rodgers with
out more ado drew a knife and stabbed the man, in
fcting a mortal wound.
For some time Rodgers euded the officers of JUS
tlce, but was finally captured tried in the General
Sessions convicted and sentenced to be hanged
Ills youth and prep0sseSslng appearance excited
great deal of sympathy, and efforts were spared
to avert his impending fate. The Governor was
petitiOned for pardon, but it refused. The high
est legal tribunal in the State has just passed
tence upon his case, the Executive cleInency has
been denied him, and nothing apparently remains
for the unfortunate young man but to prepare for
the eZpiation of his crime on the scailold.-N Y

Tue SUGAR CRoP or CrBA.-The Havana Prenso
of the 18th, has article from which we get some
information concerning the growing crop of
Cuba. Rains in September and October, and north
winds in November, are, says the Preis0, indis-
pensable to the growth of the cane. In places
there has been a scarcity of water but in others
there has been amply sufficient. In the Vueta-
Arriba there have been copious rains, and the
planters will make large if not larger crops than
last year, If the season continues favorable. There
is prospect of an early commencement of grinding
ard this is now particularly necessary account
of the scarcity of hands, which only be compen-
sated by an extension of the harvest season. On
the whole however, the crop of Cuba will not equal
in amount of last wear.
The Prcasn assumes that in Louisiana there has
been a loss of 100000 hogsheads by the nundation
and that there will be no increase in the other
gar-producing countries; and that, consequently
prices will not fall. but, on the contrary, will rise
The estimated loss in Louisiana is, however, be
lieve, far above the TRUTH and is therefore very
fallaciOus element in tha PrensoS calculations

FATAL ACCIDENT on THE CnGcAGo, AL~ov. AND ST.
LOUIS RAUEoAD.-A fatal accident occurred on this
road near Chicago, on Saturday afternoon. a con-
struction train was passing along the line at usual
runnlnS, speed, when co" suddenly jumped upon
the track too late to allow the engineer to check
his engine. The cars and locomotives were thrown
off the track and considerably injured while three
men on the train were seriously wounded that
of them died about nine hours after and the life
Of the other is dcspaircd of.
The sufferers were: Edward Murphy leg crushed
so badly as to demand amputation. From previous
loss OF blood and exhaustion reaction failed take
place, and he died about o clock on Sunday morn
ing. John Donevans right leg badly laccrated,
and compound fracture of the ankle; not expected
to survive. Thos. Hoyle, fore arm fractured and
hips bruised; will probably recover.
The total imports of railroad iron from Great
Britain to the United States for the first seven
months of 1858, compared with those during a like
space in 1856 and 1857, are as follows
1856. 1857. 1888.
Sl,005 tons. lO5, ,6l3 tons. 5,53G tons.
The above table shows shat in seven months of
the present year we have imported less railroad iron
by 100000 tons than in the corresponding period of
last year. Since August lst, however, there has
been more activity in this department, and cOnsd-
cradle quantities have been imported by the Mobile
and Ohio, and other roads, and several companies
have contracted for supplies to be delivered before
the end of the year, that the total importatons
for 1858 will not fall far short of last year as the
above figures would indicate.-N. Y. Post.
CRors.-A large portion of the finest tobacco of
this years crop has been gathered and housed in
good condition, and is now undergoing the curing
process. The planters aver that what they lack in
quantity this year, they will make up in quality.
That is, the crop will be 'short and sweet
Since the corn crop has matured our exchanges
bring more favorable accounts of the yield. From
nearly every quarter of the country, intelligence
comes that the harvest is abundant than was
anticipated during the drought. The same thing
we believe is true of this section. Though the corn
crop is a short one, more has been grown than was
expected.
TIE CRoPs.-We learn from some of our plant
ers, that the cotton crop was never more prOmis-
ing. The tobacco is almost ready for market, and
hope the liberal purchasers that have been
among us. from the North, in view of the low
prices at which many Of our citizens were com
PEELED to dispose of their crops last year, will feel
disposed to give them n rcmunerative price this
year The crop, though not unusually large, we
understand is very fine, and such will command
good prices in New York, and other markets.

The CAPTAIN OF THE AUsrRIA-Mr. Sven Peter
son, of the survivors of the Austria, desires us
to correct one or two statements made in what has
been published as his account of the catastrophe.
lie did not declare, he says, that ''there about
one hundred pounds of powder in the magazine"
He knew nothing about the quantity of powder
there, and had no means of knowing. Neither did
he represent that the Captain was the first one
who endeavOred to leave the ship" Such was not
the tact.-N Y Eoeting Posi-.
