Sugar Cron.

The terrible storm of yesterday and the night los
fore is another and the crownng disaster which tho
staple production Of lower Louisiana has sustained
this season. Starting with almost an entirely de-
struyed stubble, by the bad winter, our cane crop
neat encountered extraordinary drouth which had
dwHrfed aud cnfeebed the plant cane TO degree
that's few weeks ago produced general despond-
ency among the planters. In the upper regions OF
the sugar district and on the highlands generally
there has been little cane produced than wili
be sufficient for planting next year. Many very
large planters viii not start their mills this season.
but will prdently save their for the next years
planting. NA aGsass q
Previous to the storm of yesterday, very saga-
cious culvators estimated the probible total crop
1t 10000 hogsheads, against 22l 900 Of last Year
which was short season. Even this estimate win
be subject TO large reduction by the great storm
provided 1t extended through the cane district No
can hardly remember SO severe and long continued
hurricane in this State. The effects on the can6
which had attained its maturity will be exceeding
y disastrous, especially II it should be followed by
warm weather. Having always aimed at and gen
orally succeeded in giving our readers reliable in
teligence in regard TO sugar prospects feel quito
safe in present estimates OF the crop Of this
season at not more than 5Ooo0 liogsheads.--N. D.

Hon. John Bell Hung In Efigy.

Strange and incredible as IL may appear, il is
nevertheless true that ON last Sabbath morning
citizens were dsgusted and insultcd by the sight Of
disgraceful figure suspended by the neck from the
same line upon which hangs tha banner represents
ing large sized bell. Upon this figure were two
plaeards, upon which were tile inscriptions "John
Bell--Nov. 9th, ls60; and nAboliton Petitions
And this disgracefl spectacle was pafaded in front
Of the State House. To say that We felt indignant
at the sight would not express our true feelings or
that of large portion of our cltzeus, II fact we
met with none who did not donouncr the perpctras
tors Of this scandaous outrage in unmeasured terms
We sincerely regret that it occurred, not that we
consider Mr. Bell or his friends nsulted by such
carricature. bit sorry to know that we have
those among us who are 50 reckless and regardless
of the good name of our city, and the opinions of
their neighbors and friends. They have made
great mistake. Instead Of injuring Mr. Bell or liz
sulting his friends, they have grossly outraged and
nsulted the respectable and intelligent Of the party
upon which the odium of thef acts must necessarily
recoil, to certain extent And it affords us much
pleasure TO say that all the prominent members of
the Democratic party deaoupce this disgracefu out
rage in terms OF just and honorable indignation; and
we trust they may be able to ferret out the pcrpe
traitors, and hold them responsible for the lasting
disgrace they attempted to fasten upon the fair fame
Of the Capital City.-Jdckson lhiss.) Nevs.

[From the Nashville Patriot.l
Union Men of Tennessee I

Are you ready for the battle2 Only about three
weeks yet remain wherein to organize and work.
Let us ask each one Of you, what have you done
during the canvass, to your cotintry from her
imminent per2 Aud what as a citizen sovereign
are you doing now? BY your supineness in years
past you have allowed the plans and principles Of
agtaors to prevail in the politics Of the country,
until you find yourselves this day trembling In the
prospect of the future Of your institutions being
committed 10 the chances of civil comuiotion and
revolution The Secession party has hwaked tore
ncwed activity and is making great ezeriions TO
carry the State. The organization of their party is
believed to be complete penetrating to the remotest
neiShborhoods. We must meet their efforts with
corresponding action, if we would carry the vote OF
Tennessee for 'the Constitution, the Union, and the
enforcement Of the Laws"
And now we entreat you, all who approve our
principles and desire the election of our candidates,
oil who desire to rescue the URion from imminent
ly impending peril-all who desire to see the re-
storaton of the of good feeling between the
tions-a patriots who love their country more than
party-we beseech you to organize everywhere, in
every neighborhood, and go to work for the success
of the Union ticket at the coming election. Go and
talk to your ncighbors and friends. Call on them
in their workshops and stores in their fields, and
by their fircsides. impress them with sense Of
their duty to their country. You and they are
sovereigns, and owe portion of your time, your
talents and your means to your country
Prepare for the day of election We have called
upon you for no contribution of money, outside the
City of Nashville, during the canvass and save the
small sums which you have sent in payment for
documents ordered, have received none from you.
And now we call upon you to raise money in your
own counties and districts to be used for all legti-
mate election purposes Provide means to bring
out all voters-to hire vehicles horses and men,
to go out upon the highways and by-ways and bring
in every friend of the Union TO the polls. BE in
time with your preparations. Take time by the
foreock. Provide tickets for every precinct. Pro-
vide chacngcrs for fraudulent votes in every pre-
cinct. Provide everything in advance at every
poiat and put off nothing till te-forrow which can
be done to-day. Let each man rely upon his own
exertions and not upon another. The UNION expects
every man TO do his duty.

DEA- The Republicans have attached undue inn
portance TO the result Of the Pennsylvania election
in saying that if they carried it the victory vrtu-
ally decided the Presidential contest in favor of
Lincoln. Mr.. Curtin was elected Governor on the
Peoples Ticket, and is not ultra Republican,
while Gen. Foster his Democratic opponent, is an
anti Tariff man, was an irregular candidate for
United States Senator when Cameron beat Col.
Forney and has not given satisfaction to either the
Douglass or the Breckenridge on account OF
his reticence concerning his Presidential preferences
Curtin has been much among the people, Inviting
questions and answering them frankly, while Fos-
ter never would speak If he could avoid it, Stunned
all public meetings, and was always fearful of COM
mittug himself with one or the other wing of
the Democracy. We believe that Pennsylvania
can be carried against Lincoln next mouth, and we
earnestly adure Americans, Wings Douglastes and
Breckenridge men to drop all their chickering's and
present an united front to the common enemy
Show that you love your country more than party,
and quiet more than this continued foolish, and ir-
ritlble agitation. Union in Pennsylvania will de-
feat Republicanism and that defeat would check
the angry strife and still the throbbngs OF the now
excited public heart-LOu Jour.

METEoRs FALLING INTO THE SrN.---Or the first
of September last distinguished English astron-
omer Mr. Darlington, had directed his telescope TO
the sun, and was engaged in observing his spots
into view on its surface. They moved side by side
through space of about $4,000 miles, first in
crcasing in brightness, then fading away; In FIVE
minutes they had vanished. This remarkable phe-
nomenon was witnessed and confirmed by another
observer, Mr.. Hodson, at Hghgate Who by hap
py coincidence had also his telescope eveed at tho
great luminary at trc same instant. II may be,
therefore, that these two gcntlcrncn have actually
witnessed the process .of feeding the sun, by the

There was triangular political discussion al
Norfolk Va, short time ago, in which the Electors
on the Bell Breckinrdge and Douglas tickets parti-
cipated. Mr.. Lamb (Breckinridge) in the course
ofhis speech, charged Mr.. Chandler (Bell,) with
having been Massachusetts Freesoer in ls4s
Then followed scene. We copy from the Norfolk
Herold:
Mr.. Chandler rising from HE seat and approach
ing Mr.. Lamb, said; MIR. Lamb, do understand you
as charging me with having been Freesoier in
lS4s, and advocating the sentiments of that party7
Mr.. Lamb--Yes, sir.

Mr.. Chandlcr-Then, sir, you are a id infern-

Here the parties came into collision. Accounts
differ somewhat as to who struck first. The blows
seemed to those nearest the spot to have been almost
simultaneous.
The friends of both these gentlemen rushed to the
stand, and scene of excitement ensucd which beg

in friendly intercourse looked daggers at another

For the Chronicle.
Mr.. EDrToR: In the last number of the Chroni-
ce there is account of the result of the late Mu-
nicipal election in Clarksvile The comments on
which (relative to the defeated party demand and
justify explanation, for when bandage has been
removed, curiosity as well duty prompt to
look at the wound.
1t is there stated, that the Reform ticket not
only defeated, but "routed, horse, foot and drag
Oons,' and the public left to grope in the dark as
to the merits demerits of the contendng parties.
First then The opposition which rose simulta-
neously to the old ticket originated from violation
of that cardinal principle of self-government viz
An appropriation of City taxes without the peoples
consent. That is not that the appropriation of ITSELF
abstractiy considered objected TO- but the select
and exclusive manner in which it had been dispens-
ed towards the citizens of Clarksville. 1t is true,
that the excitement in the canvass was intense and
that the respective parties contested every inch at
the polls, with undnunted determination, yet " it'll
the dignity and good order which should character
ize all good citizens. And although the reform
ticket for Mayor has received TEN votes less than
its antagonist out of Ala votes polled This result
is by go means a ''rout, nor would that small ma
jority have been attained, had it not been arged
and freely circulated that the reform party enter
tanned sentiments, and occupied a position, which
were not in their programme, consequently they
ought not to have been held responsible. There
fore, instead of the reform party being 'routed or
at the least intimidated, they have not abandoned
the field, nor baggage, but stand firm solid phal-
anx for another charge, and knowing their rights
dare maintain them good citizens, and tar payers
And as we have fought good fight, in good cause
we shall keep our faith, knowing that even defeat
has purified the atmosphere in this corporation.
The above remarks sufficient for the present
purpose, for We do not wish to continue or to engen
der an alienation of social feeling in the commune
ty, but merely to check uncalled for and seem
ing bravado, and exultltion without an expluna
tion. NOX POPULl.

A Patriotic Appeal.

Amid the madness and rage of party ard The
growing prevalence of sectionalism, il is gratifying
to observe that some of the most influential demo-
cratic papers at the North, urging the abandon
ment of party for the safety fthe country Almost
every number of the New York Journal of Commerce
contains earnest appeal to the conservative men
to rally to the rescue of the country. We extract
the following sentence from forcible article which
recently appeared in that excellent democratic paper
The writer says
"The time has come, then, when Northern men,
when Southern men, when every citizen who desires
a peaceful continuance Of the federal government,
should lay aside excitement and personal preeren-
ces. II is the solemn duty of every voter TO hfrm
himself of the true state of the issue now pending,
so that he may be able to vote ntelgently and in
dependenuy, and with full realization of the con-
sequences which may result Thus voting, no self
condemnation can follow in any emergency; but to
vote under an excitement brought about by the
selfish aims of reckless partisans and office seekers,
or to- rely on the statements representations OF
such men in regard to the questions and interests
linvolved-in regard to the future which is now at
stake-would be to tre with the most sacred rights
of freemen aud should evil consequences result
through vote thusgiven associated, self unbraid-
hg would never cease, especially under the refec-
tion that greater effort to acquire truthful norma-
ton would have resulted in vote for the Con-
stituton and the Union-for the continuance oi
civil and religious liberty"
