The ART OF SAvING.-Beniami Franklin,
in his writings tells US that "Poor Richard
declared ian ounce Of prevention was worth
pound Of cure p and the dear good old man
was right He, Poor Richard, would insist
upon mending every thing as soon as It was
broken, and thereby saved much trouble and
less from enlargement Of the injury. One day
a witty woman said to venerable Quaker,
noted Tor his strenuous adherence to the prin.
ciples Of "Poor Richard"
"You are always for mending and patching,
and vet in spite of your doctrine, that "a
stitch in time saves nine," PIl lay you some
thing pretty, that rent or . hole viii wear
ttvice as long as patch"
aEyen so, my good dame" ," replied the Qua
ker. ''but garments with patches will wear
thrice as long as with rentsor hole"
What would Poor Richard or Benjamin
Franklin have said if SpaldiRgs Prepared

trndnced TO the public, and its remarkable
ss,,acitg makes it reliable method Of SoViRg.

o. For the last few weeks there has been
a report in circulation in this vicinity that an
Abolition society had been organized at Isney,
Choctaw county, Ala, which had become very
insolent and audacious in its action. 1t was
also reported that there was to be a public
meeting of its members at that place on last
Saturday. Several of our citizens visited Is
ney at that time to ascertain the truth of
these rumors, and on arriving at that place,
they found that the reports had been much
exaggerated, although there was very large
meeting, and resolutions unanimously adopted
denunciatory of the actions and declarations
of several who were supposed to be the prin-
ciple instigators in this organization.
Several persons acknowledged that they
had joined secret society some two or three
years ago, which was represented to them as
designed to effect social reform, but that
they had never fully understood the purpose
of its organization, and beliving it was not Of
much use, they had but little to do with it,
and knew but little about it. There has pro-
bably been nest Of Abolitionists Matched
out down there, and that when this bare foot
ed brood Of John Brown reformists saw the
excitement that their action had occasioned,
they probably became alarmed and thought il
best to take water Chiekasahay Adrertiser.

CONDITION OF THE CRoPs.-We fear that
the crops of the South have received serious
injury within the last month, Not for wears
has SO long and so severe drouth been ex-
perienced in the Southern States. Tn some
sections no ram OF any consequence has fallen
since the lst of April. This is especially true
OF Texas, certain.parishes in this State, and
Middle Georgia, in which latter section. ac-
cording to writer in a Georgia paper, more
ram has been known to fall in "a hours than
has been had there since the first of January.
These, 1t may be said are exceptional cases
Irue But there is now but little difference
IN the condition of the crops in most of the
cotton States. Our accounts from various
districts of Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mis-
sissippi, Arkansas, Texas and our own State.
are, to say the least, discouraging. Crops in
these States have been not only oppressed by
a drouth unprecedented in its duration, but
within the last month they had to struggle
for existence in the face of a sun of almost
torrid brilliance and power, dewless nights,
and the prevalence Tin some districts) of high
scorching winds, which shriveled up vegeta-
ton as if sirocco had passed over it. The
consequence Of such weather is obviously.
O. Bulletin.
We have taken trouble to ascertain the real
condition and prospects of the growing crops
in this State, and elsewhere in the South, the
present season, and all our information con-
firms the conclusions of the Bulletin. The
corn crop in Mississippi, except Immediately
in the valleys, is distressing failure; and the
cotton crop, unless there is change in the
weather in brief time, will be no better
1t will mature early and be sent forward to
market promptly; but there will be a sad fall
ing off in quantity.

The SLAVE TRADE.-The New York
Times of the 1lth inst, gives the names of
thirty one American slavers cleared from that
port between August 10th, 1859, and June
10th, 1860, and adds that many others
cleared for the West Indies and other parts,
and then proceeded to the Coast of Africa for
cargoes for the plantations" This pretty
brisk business.

THE Position OF Hon. A. G. BRowS-
Upon the authority of an intimate personal
and political friend of the Hon. A. G. Brown.
whose peculiar relations with him Justify the
utmost confidence in what he asserts, we de-,
ny the report that that distinguished Senator
intends opposing the election of Breckenridge

Gov. Brown previous to his departure from
this city, on Thursday morning, was with the
gentleman alluded to. He clearly ayowed
his determination to- support our ticket.
though it is true he could not agree with the
letter of acceptance of Mr. Breckenridge. in
so far as it embraces him in the general ex-
preston that 'the friends of constitutional
equality do not, and never did, demand
slave code''
In view of the fact that Gov. Brown spoke
at the Breckinridge and Lane ratification
meeting in this city on Monday night last,
this statement is scarcely necessary, except
that the letter Of acceptance alluded to has
appeared since.

OF One of the humanitarian movements
of our times, although little known as such,
can hardly be over estimated its Importance
upon the well being of our widely scattered
communities The population OF the Amer
ican States is in many sections so sparse, that
skillful Physicians are hardly available TO
them. Vast numbers of our people, are obllg-
ed to employ in sickness, such medical relief
as they can hear of from each other, or indeed
any they can get from any quarter. Hence
arises the great consumption OF Patent Medi- :
cines among US, greater by far than IN any Oh
the old countries, where skiltul physicians are
accessible to all classes. Unprrnclpled pen
have long availed themselves of this necessity
to palm off their worthless nostrums, until
the word has become SYNONYMOUS with I'M
nosition and cheat. One of our leading Chem
ists in the East, DR., AVER, is pursuing a
course which defeats this iniquity. He brings
not only his own, but the best skill OF our
times TO bear, for the production OF the best
remedies which can be made. These are sup
nlied to the world, in a convenient form, at
low prices and the people will no more buy
poor medicines instead of good, at the same
cost than they will bran instead of -FOUR
The inevitable consequence of this Is that the
vile comnounds that flood our country are
discarded for those which honestly accomplish
the end in yiew,-which cure. Do we over
estimate its importance, in believing that this
prospect of supplanting the by-word medl-
cines with those of actual worth and virtue,
