The RaIlffeR.

Inc Boll1leSs
The Bellies of this city held another meeting on
Saturday night last We learn that the President
of the Club read by request speech. After
wards H. G. Jones, Esq, entertained the audience
in his peculiar style; and then our neghbor of the
Register took the floor and edited himself very
much and the audience incidentally, by reading ex-
tracts from the Standard and commenting thereon.
Our neighbor acquitted himself considerably, and
quit in good time Maj. Hustled, having "got hap
py" under the circumstances, concluded the SER
vices by apologzing for not speaking
No authoritative or official announcement was
made, We understand, of the name of their candi-
date for Vice President. So far as the Club is dis
posed to declare officially, it is still alexander
Everett This omission to speak out upon point
which has created some sensation in this communi-
ty, is saidt be owing to the frmuess with which
respected member of the Club still insists that the
name IS alexander, and not Eaparo.
What will our Bellite friends say to the following
extract from the Union Gaard," their leading
organ in Washington City? The Guard" says:
"By fusion Bell and Everett will secure ten votes
in New York, ten in Pennsylvania, and three in
New Jersey, or twenty-three in all. Without fu-
sion they could not receive solitary vote in those
three States while their whole electoral strength of
sixty-nine votes would be given to Lincoln. By
fusion these sixty nine votes are cast against Lin
coin. The contest now is between Bell and Lincoln
Whatever, therefore, tends to diminish tie vote for
Lincoln increases the strength of Bell. The case
is so plain that it hardly requires to be set FORTH
Any child can understand it. How is it possible,
then, that any friend of the Union oppose
fusion at the North, where, without fusio1 not only
could Mr.. Bell tal to aeceice solitary cote, but
Lincoln would undoubtedly receive votes enough to
elect him!"
Here we have it from leading organ Of the Bell
party that Mr.. Bell has no strength in New York,
New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and that without
fusion with the Democrats Mr.. Bell "canr OF receive
solitary vote in those three States!" Let our
neighbor of the Register read that at the next
meeting of the Club.

Crops OF ALABAMA.-Dr. Cloud, editor of the
Cotton Planter, have consulted various sources Of
information such as exchanges, letters from
spondents and conversations with planting friends
concludes that the planters of Alabama have made
corn enough to do them. Of course it will be ne
cessary to use all proper economy in feeding it out
IL may be necessary to import some corn to Mobile
and Montgomery, but this will arise more from
lack Of facilities for getting grain to market from
the. interior, than from lack of the grain in the
country.
As to the cotton crop, it was the finest ever seen,
up to the first of July, an opinion predicated upon
the general fact well understood by planters, "a dry
year for good cotton CROP"
