The Claiborne Advocate ofthe 27tI1 nit.

The Claiborne Advocate ofthe 2TtIl nit. says
There has not been for many years, If ever, such
dark and gloomy prospect for corn crop in this
parish, as that which now presents itself TO our
view on every hand around us. The corn ii liter
ally burning up and dying in some neigllborhoods,
from the effects of the protracted drouth and un-
less we have abundance Of rain wishin the next
ten days. it will be impossible for our parish to
make corn enough for home consumption. Cotton
Is still doing very well under sll the circumstances.
The Franklin Sun of the 10Th says:
We have had what everybody has been praying
for, glorious rain. Ii clouded up on Tuesday
afternoon, and has been raining more or less ever
since. 1t has caused as agreeable change in the
weather, IT will be beneficial to the crOn. The
cattle, too, will derive an advantage from it, the
scorehing weather that prevailed having dried up
all the grass and left them scarcely anything to
feed on.
From the Rapides American of the s0th we ex-
tract the following:
| This week it gives extreme pleasure in being
able to chronicle rain-aye, glorious rain-after
drouth which had lasted nearly four months, and
| which had become. indeed, quite alarming. On
| Tuesday last, at about 8 o'clock, the rain COM
| menced falling pretty heavily. and continued an
hour or longer and at night and tie two sHeeeed-
| ing days we had repeiitions of the rain ia great
abundance, bringing with it joy to many hearth
| stone.
70 the crops this rain has been of inealeulable
benefit to say nothing Of the csterns, Streets ETC.,
which have derived inestimable advantages there
| from. Vegetation seems to have put on new
look since it has been the recipient eff the lifein
spring element. Many of our planters whose corn
was ruined by the protracted dr0uth, have had it
cut down, and have, we understand. commenced
repanting it,. The cotton looks fine, and will in all
probability turn out well. The cane is not 40 pro-
missing, as the dry weather has teld severely upon it.

Fror,n Washington.

Under date of the 2sth ult the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Herald writes
movement has been ON foot for the last three
days. by the respective friends of Douglas and
Breckinridge, among whom were several men in
high position, to get them both to withdraw from
the field, with the view of putting some unexcep-
tionable man in the ring against Lincoln. Douglas
and his friends positively decline any snch arrange
the war, and will not leave the field. This course
will lose him many friends.
The Administration is fully determined TO put the
guillotine in motion against. every Federal office
holder who had or is now engaged In aiding
the Douglas movement. Already several promi-
nent office-holders in New York, who were at the
Baltimore Convention lending their influence to-
nominate Douglas, have been marked for deeap-
itation so soon as the right kind OF men can be
found to fill their places The Administration does
not intend to pursue any halfway policy. War
to the knife - is their policy.
The rejection of the Spanish treaty eIubarrasses
the Administration considerably, and will tend to
complicate the long-pending questions in dispute,
and others of recent date, which have sprung up
since the treaty was made.
The Administration will hardly attempt any
further negotiation with Spain. 1t WIS with great
reluctance that she made the treaty, and but for
the persistent and ndefatigabe efforts Of Mr. Pres
ton it never would have been negotiated.
The San Juan question ia no nearer a solution
now than when the negotiations first commenced.
The British Government thought that by n little
finessing and artful diplomacy she would be able
to get the United States to back DOWN but she has
already found out her mistake, and also that Pres
ident Buchanan understands the subject fully as
well as she does.

ARREST or TWO MrRpERERs. York, July
2.-Warrants are ont for the arrest of Charles and
Edward Jetard. who are supposed to have COM
mitted the double murder on Saturday evening.
They are sons OF former husband of Mrs. Walton.
Mr.. Walton was a man from forty to forty-fiye
years Of age, energetic in appearance and stoutly
built. He has many relatives IN this city, ana was
highly esteemed by all his acquaintance
Mr. Mathews was railroad contractor, and
about thirty -four years Of age He lived with his
mother at No. 81 Union Place. He had been out
all day on pleasure excursion, with his sister, to
the fishing banks. On returning, he had gone to
the upper part of the city to transact some busi-
ness and had just stepped from the Third Avenue
ears on his return, when he heard the cry Of mur-
der, aud starting in pursuit of the murderer, met
his death. A pistol found near the scene of the
last murder haslbeen identified as one recently in
possession Of one Of tile Jefiards-
Edwin Jefatd was taken into custody to-day
at tire Jefferson Market Police Court, which he
entered to make some inquiries OF the presiding
magistrate. Suspicion attaches more strongly to
Charles than to Edwin Jetiard. The former has
not been in the city, according to his mothers
account, since the Sunday previous to the murder.
