The xazoo Democrat Of the LIST says
During the present Yeek We have had yery heavy
rains, but they have come too late to be Of any
service to the cotton cropsS the conerary plant
ers tell US that they abs oluteIy an injury. It ia
pretty well ascertaine fact that the cotton crop
in Middle Mississippi will not exceed oneshaR IL
what it last year. and d-we hear Of nothing more
encouraging from the northern and southern por-
tons of the State.
The Attala Democrat OF Tie 31st says
As far we have heard,,the country has been
blessed within the last ten lays with an abundance
OF rain. The fall of rain l2sre on Monday last was
exceedingly refreshing.
The Macon Star of the 1ssslias the foilowirs.
Up to the 1st of this monshthe prospect for an
. abundant cotton crop was never better in the
prairies Of Noxubee, but within tTat brief time the
drought the worm, the nlayAy and at last the M
timely rains, have almost destroyed it.
Noxubee county will not make half crop
of cotton this year add to t3' the almost entire
failure of the cotton crop for several counties
below this, and the failure of ct least onehaH Of
the planters to make corn enough to do them,''
and the prospect looks indeed Gloomy.
For the failure in the cotton crop there is no
remedy, save it be in the CONSEQUENT increase in
the price of the article; and there is but one
source to which this section of the country can
look for supply of corn at anything like reason
able fgures-the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. If
that is completed through the grain countries of
Tennessee, ETC., we can look for full supply, at
fair price; but if not, there is butlittle hope.
The Port Gibson Reveile of Tuesday last says
The weather has not been cool, as it should be
at this time of the year. Cotton, we are told, has
commenced second growth which will make
trash after the frosts. sts

insurrectonary plot lately discovered in that
county. The trial Of the white men was fixed for
last Wednesday. The followingspostscript to the
Reporters editorial tells the news.

entered last night, and one of the white men,
known as Lem. Payne, but whose real name is
Mahan, was taken out and hung to shade tree
standing near the lanyard, IN full view of the jail
The coroner held an inquest this morning, and the
verdict of the jury was that the deceased came to
his death by hanging at the hands of some party
or parties unknown.
We learn that about o'clock in the morning a
company walked the jailor up, representing that
they had negro to commit. The jaiior struck a
light and get the keys, the parties having negro
as the keys were produced, the light was blown
out, the jailor compelled to submit, and the pris-
oner demanded. He was taken out by the parties.
The jailor Immediately gave the alarm, but it was
too late to effect anything they had hurried off
and no one could tell in what direction they had
gone. The jailor and sheriff did their duty as fully
as in their power.

PUNISHMENT OF A STEAMBOAT THIEr.-Tn the
Lake Providence Herald of Saturday last we find
the following: 0.@s.
The steamer Hiawatha, from st. Louis, put out
at our landing yesterday morning man who had
been detected and convicted of robbery of GER
tain articles of value belonging to one of the cabin
passengers. Therobbery was committed while the
boat was near GreenyilIe, and the articles CON
gold watch, were on the person of the culprit who
it seems was also passenger in the cabin, and
whose appearance, we learn, indicated that of a
gentleman. jury of the passengers was empan-
condemned to divers doses of whip-cord, which
were well administered by the mate; after which
he was made to undergo not very pleasing ton
of one side of his head shaved off smooth. He was
put off at landing to ruminate upon his conduct
and the untoward fate Of genius.n How he has
progressed since, we have not learned. His ap-
pearance just now cannot be the most prepossess-
ing in the world.
