Corn and Cotton.

The total value of the cereal staples of the
United States for the present year is estimated
at two thousand millions of dollars, or sixty
dollars per head for each person. The large
area of cultiyatable soil and the variety of pro-
ducts in our country, with the facilities of
communication, ensure US against those de-
structiye famines that occasionally affiict Eu-
ropeau countries. The scarcity of food in the
South West will be relieved by the su-
perabundance of the North West. Food is the
important element in the material comfort of
States, and most fortunate is that country
whose variety of climate and soil is such as
to answer this first condition of prosperity /;
but we question if SO large a product in corn as
the above figures present, would he half as
etfectual in maintaining that stability in COM
merce as is necessary'to an equilibrium in the
foreign trade Of the United States. as will pre-
clude financial pressure and embarrassment.
A cotton crop of two hundred and fifty mil
lions of dollars would better preserve mer-
camille balance between this country and
Europe than twice that value in breadstuffs.

The Prospect in Virginia

The Richmond Enquirer gives its opinion
touching the Presidential prospects in the Old
Dominion. 1t says: with all the means of
authentic information within our reach, and
by the most liberal calculation, we find that
Mr.. Douglas cannot count an average of so
supporters in each county in the State. Such
an average would give him in all about 1900
votes General consent has fixed the usual
Democratic majority in Virginia at about
10000. Thus supposing that the entire OPP
position vote shall be concentrated on John
Bell-and supposing, too, that the entire
Douglas vote shall be distracted from the
a Democrats ranks the z5ove TgIres would
leave the Breckenridge ticket plurality of
$500 votes''
The Enquirer proceeds to show that if the
Douglas leaders propose to fuse with the Bell
Everetts, thousands will be driven into the
Breckenridge ranks. 1t concludes as fol-
lows
At all events, it is now a fixed fact in the
minds of intelligent observers, that Breckin-
ridge and Lane will carry Virginia-not by a
plurality but by a respectable majority.
Victory is safe. Let every true Democrat
strive to swell the triumph.

The Canvass in Pontotoc

EDITOR OF MIssIssIPPIAN A word as tc
the prospects ofthe Democracy in our county
may not be altogether uninteresting.
Some few days ago, the three electors 70,
this district completed their list of appoint
ments in this county; and although the game
of two pluck one' was played, our elector
DR.. Harrison, bore himself nobly, calamity
and successfully through the contest.
Many of our good Democrats, at the first
intelligence from Baltimore, were not entirely
satisfied; but now, after listening to the dis
cussions, with the exception of one precinct
our county is all right, and have no doubt
that in November Pontotoc will give larger
Democratic vote than she has polled since
1850 Let other counties but do their duty
as will Pontotoc, and we will count our DEM
ocratic majority in the State by many thou
sands.
Here, now, we are reminded by the squat
ter Sovereigns" Of the old story of the gobbler
that was so poor he had to lean against the
fence to gobblc. So with them-they can
only raise noise when they find Believer
lite to rest against.
A word as to an inquiry in your paper. R.
W. Flournoy is not myth, but he is certainly
a very peculiar institution" and where they
didn't know better, might be called one of
those peculiar Rhode-Island institutions"
that excited so much admiration and called
forth such thrilling eloquence from Mr.. Doug
las at Providence, on his way to seek his
mama. If he is "Rhode- Island clam" and
has followed DR.. Harrison up to this time, he
is a baked clam by now. I have no doubt the
Little Giant" would not prefer such "baked
clans" to "niggers" After the discussion
closed in our town, he looked like cone

Slave 1nsurrection in Virginia---Fou
of Them Killed.

Inc hichmond Dispatch states that a COR
spiracy was formed one day last week, by the
slaves of Mr.. s. Hairson, wealthy farmer Of
Halifax county, Va, to murder his oyerseer
After stating that six Of them induced tho
overseer to accompany them to the woods
where they alleged party of slaves were
preparing for an insurrection, the DISPATCH
says:
The negroes led the way until getting into
the forest some distance, when suddenly stop-
pea near newly dug pit, when the spokes-
man confronted him, and pointing to the hole
SAID to him. "Phere is your grave. You
nave but fifteen minutes to make your peace
with God, or to land in hell. Quick as
thought the overseer drew his Colts revolver
killed four Of the fulfians dead at bis feet. ayt
sslot the s44fsh one In tue abdomen, seeing
which, thesixth man took to his heels through
the woods, and the overseer having no other
weapon, he escaped. The impression prevails
that the six negroes had determined to mur-
der the overseer because of some deserved
punishment one or more Of them had received
and laid the above plan to get him off in the
woods to effect their ends. His presence Of
mind IN taking his pistol, and his cooIness in
the hour of danger, when no white person was
near to aid him, doubtless saved him from a
horrid death.

Mississippi Douglas Convention.

GRENADA, MISS, Aug. 1S.-The Douglas
convention nominated full electoral ticket
The foregoing is a copy of despatch which
is coming back to us from distant papers. 1t
does not state that the Douglas faction made
two Intellectual attempts to get up State
Convention. In the first of which it was re-
presented by but IL out of 62 counties; and
in the second and last by but seven counties
and in part Of these, as we personally know,
by self-appointed delegates. As sequel to
the despatch, it ought to be stated that the
only two men who are in good standing as
Democrats that were put on the Douglas
electoral ticket have repudated the concern,
and are enthusiastically for Breckenridge and
Lane. The ticket is not 'fuil;" and our pre-
diction will be verified that it will not be pos
sibIe to organize complete Douglas ticket in
Mississippi.

PUBLIUS.
For the AfississigpiGn.
Minis and Merwin at Quitmau.

QUIrMAN, Aug. 23d, 1860.
Mr.. EDITOR The Democracy of the
mighty East are enthusiastic in behalf of
Breckenridge and Lane. The Belleverites
hava some strength in Quitman. and they
make very good fight with the Breckenridge
Democracy. There are only eight or ten
Douglas men in all Clarke county. Breckin-
ridge and Lane will sweep every thing before
them. Their cause is gaining ground, and
many old line wings are wheeling into ranks,
determined to do all they can in behalf of the
South.
But, as set out to give you an account of
the discussion, will proceed. Major Minis
spoke first His speech was close, connec-
ted argument in behalf of true Democratic
principles. He presented the main issue be-
tween the North and South, and showed that
the whole South, in these periloas times,
should take a firm and decided stand in be-
half of their rights and the equality of the
States, and against the aggresSions of the
North. He then refuted the charge of dis
union against Breckenridge and Lane, by
showing the weakness of the aa honsiisn ar
guments OF his opponent He ably and elo-
quently vindicated the course of the Southern
delegates at Charleston and Baltimore. He
then reviewed the records Of Douglas and Bell;
andof Breckenridge as the only candidate whom
Southern men can consistently support His
arguments were 50 powerful and conclusive
that his Belleyerett competitor failed to an
swer a single one. His speech was freauont-
ly applauded and his friends were highly
pleased.
Mr.. Merwin's reply was beautiful
piece Of defamation and well rounded rhetori-
calsentences. Instead Of meeting the issue
fairly and squarely by dealing with the au-
thentic documents Of the democratic party,
he confined himself to the speeches and letters
of fpriyate men for whose opinions the party
cannot be held responsible. Hecouldn't help
from enlOgzing Douglas and sympathizing
with his party. He defended the abolition
record of Bell, and praised him for voting to
A0NOANO aOVAAdou potittOuc, uCicuuCN tAO POWoA
Of Congress to abolish the slave trade and
slavery in the District ofColumbia. He said
that Everett recanted his former abolition sen
timents by advocating the Compromise meas
ures Of 1850.
His speech was a vilihcation Of patriotic
and chivalrOus SOutherners. Many Of his own
party left before he concluded.
Major Minis rejoinder was a complete
triumph. He proved that Merwin's argu-
ments made the Opposition party disunion
PARTY, because he, advocates the power Of
Congress to do what Mississippi, in solemn
convention, declared would be such breach
Of the federal compact as to justify the South
in resisting and treating the non-slayeholding
States as enemies. At first Merwin denied
that such resolution was passed BY the Con-
yention Of 1851, but Minis produced the do
mept and clinched the nail upon him so effec-
tually that the whole house spplauded him
with loud and prolonged cheering.
