We had last night very foe shower Of rain,
with large portion of thunder aud lightning, aud
pretty heavy wind, but doing no damage save
that of causing the wheat "to bed" end by the
way the crop of wheat must be failure; the pros
pect was never more gloomy since my recollec>
ton. There cannot possibly be more than hal!
crop harvested, under the most favorable circun :
stances. The crop OF corn is very promising, and
there has been very large crop Of Tobacco plant
ed owing to the inc season and the superabun-
daGce Of plants.
Gov. Wise passed here this morning, en-route

can't all go to Richmond to an inauguration, and

cause feel certain sort of presentiment
that things will be managed to our prejudice.
If could feel assured that the National De-
mocfacy would, in good earnest, and with
hearty good will, step on a platform which
recognized theaequality of the States. and the
equal and exact right of every species of
property TO full and adequate protection
wherever it might be. would perform pill
erimage on foot to Charleston to witness such
a consummatiop. But my hopes are mingled
with many doubts on these points. ! fear we
shall have a repetition of the old scenes =
Apochryphni sentences strung together, mean
ing nythihg or everything, or nothing. just
as one chooses to construe them. We may
be offered the Cincinnati Platform in haze
yerbd-I would reject it without a word OF
debate. After all that has transpired it is in
sulting 10 our intelligence to Offer us plat
form with Northern and a Southern side.
We know that in practice our side Will be
deserted. Therefore, those who accept such
a platform. agree in advance, to see the South
betrayed.
would demand the full measure ofjustice
and draw the bond in such plain English that
no one could misread or misconstrue ii. And
failing in this demand. would withdraw in
stantly from the Convention.
All we are told that this course, on the
part Of the South, will break up the National
Democratic party. We'll suppose it does?
For what end was the party organized, In
the language of the Constitution. it was Or
daincd TO establish justice, insure domestic
tranquility, provide for the common defence
and promote the general welfare. If instead
OF meeting these just ends, ii defeats justice,
promotes dIscord, provides for the defense OF
the North. and promotes only that interest
which is hostile to the South. then | have no
h. station in saying it ought TO be broken up.
Let no one suppose that Democratic prin-
ciples will be endangered by the withdrawal
OF the South from the present Democratic
organization. When Luther. and MelancthOu,
and Zwingle, and John Knox. and Calvin
protested against the abuses of the ROmish
Church they did not destroy. nayi they did
not even wound true Christianity. Aud
when bold John Wesley denounced the cor
ruptions of the English Church, be only let
in upon it that true and Heavenly light
which was essential TO its triumph. Democra-
cy is nearly allied to Christianity. and they
need alike to be pruned of all corruption 10
insure their vigorous and successful growth.
| have no hesitation in advising my party
friends in Mississippi to stand firmly TO their
ayowed principles. These principles are
worth more to us than party associations.
We cannot long remain in a Union where
even our own professed friends do not recog-
nZe our just claim to equal rights and equal
protection. The old Democratic party is
dear to me. | have spent the best part of my
life in defending its principles. II now it has
made up its mind to discard the first great
cardinal idea of its creed, that of justice TO
all. and special privileges to none, am pre-
pared to spend the remainder of my days in
uIaking war upon it.

Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad
Company.

The Report of the Secretary and Treasurer
exhibiting the condition of this Company on
the LIST inst. was published last week. We
learn from il that the gross earnings OF the
road for the past eleven months amounted to
S626,42 67, whilst the expenses for Operat-
ing, during the same time, was S340,3S9 "a,
leaving as nett earnings $286,037 SO. Out
OF these nett earnings there have been paid
for new outfit, work, &c, S157 1907 5S, and
dividend to the ST stockholders of 8 per cent,
amounting in the aggregate TO S67,7H 10;
leaving balance of surplus profits on
hand Of SEQ, 1872 46. This is decided i'm
provement upon the past, and shows that the
affairs of the Company have been well man
aged the present year and are in good con
diton. The pioneer road to which Nashville
is chiefly indebted for her material progress.
since its completion, lis success gives salts
faction TO every one who properly apprc-
ciates the benefits conferred by it. We trust
il has entered a career Of prosperity which
shall continue without interruption. In this
connection, it is proper tor us to say that the

peared in our paper Thursday, was inserted
by special request.

Peuftentiary Report.

The Superintendent in his Report to the
INSPECTORS, which was laid before the Legs
Ist.re on the 18th ult., states that when he
toek charge of the Penitentiary, January 1st,
1858. II was encountered with debt of S2O,-
II9 81, to meet which there were assets in
cash, notes, and accounts, amounting to SlS'-
247 81. He has collected of these assets the
sum of SIS ,090 10, and applied IL to the IL
uuidation of the debt, leaving S5,02S "A in
debtedness to be provided for. OF the I'M
collected assets, (notes and accounts)it is be-
lieved the greater portion will never be real
lied. The means of the Institution are
scarcely sufficient to meet the current wants;
therefore it becomes necessary for the State
to make an appropriation to discharge the
remainder OF the old debt.
Since Mr. JOHNSON assumed the duties of
Superintendent an addition to the prison has
been built at a cost Of S36,734 S3, OF which
$4,000 were appropriated by the State; the
remainder goes 10 the credit ofcOnvict labor.
This addition, which is constructed in the
most substantial manner, and ut the same
time most comfortable for the convicts, affords
one hundred and twenty additional cells, but
the number Of conyicts has Increased so
rapidly there il not now sufficient room to
lodge them the law requires-Onet TO a cell.
This deficiency must be provided for by the
present Legislature. More cells must he con-
structed, or the number of convicts decreas-
ed by substituting some other penalty for the
lighter grades of offences which now
punished by Imprisonment in the Peniten-
tiary.
In addition TO the Improvement already
mentioned, Mr.. JOHNSON has had three large
cisterns made to insure a sufficient supply OF
water, and put the whole prison in the best
condition. From personal inspection oft,
we can bear evidence to the faitbfulness
with which be has discharged his duty in this
respect. The prison has never presented an
appearance so neat, clean and comfortable.
The Superintendent complains Of a want
of room to dispose Of the convicts and work
them most profitably; and suggests m
enlargement Of the area within walls. The
greatest want is, perhaps, wareroom for
the purpose of storing the manufactures OF
the prison, for sale. The present mode of
selling is very inconvenient, and drawback
to the sales Other important improvements
are suggested, and it would be we'll for them
TO be made.
The number of deaths during the past two
years is q; the number of cOnvicts in the
Penitentiary on the 3Oth September last 378.
