Corn is King

The Nashville (Tenn.) Banner contains the
following, showing the condition of things at
the South, which will essentially affect our
markets
"It is settled fact, the corn and wheat
crops of the South are failures, and that the
cotton States will have TO be purchasers of
corn from the more fortunate Northern and
Western divisions of the Union. Our people
are interested upon this subject one OF much
greater importance than the political divisions
of the North and South, and as If to rebuke
the minds and restrict the spirits which have
dared to whisper secession from the North"
an Almighty power has made the Southern
division of the country as dependent on the
North for food as the North has been on the
South for cotton. Two such failures as the
South experiences this year would ruin her
Happily for the South, the cotton never fails
entirely, and in an augmented crop of lit is es-
timatcd,) 100000 bales, she will find the
means to purchase her food.
For once Xxi ing Cotton" must abdicate his
commercial throne, content to make one Of
triumvirate that henceforth rules the world
That which would have been deemed impossi-
BILE few years since, has now actually occur
red, and Georgia. Mississippi, and other States
are importing their food from Illinois and III
diana. During the last season Missouri sup
piled this demand but she will bc unable this
year. for her crops have in d great measure
failed. while the demand. then light, is now al
most incalculable. The con pleteness OF the
failure in the South it is hard to contem-
plate. The tone of every exchange is dcSpond
ing and almost despairing. The Montgomery
(Ala.) Mail of late date says: awe are sat
iSfed from reliable sources, that the crop of
eastern Alabama and western Georgia will fall
far short of the needs of home consumers, and
if there should not be a heavy crop iii South
Alabama, backed by low prices in the West,
there cannot but be immense suffering for the
staff of life." And this demand from the South
is made simultaneously with similar call from
Europe.
As if providentialy, a superintendent har
vest has blessed the North and the West, and
supplies from those quarters are not likely to
be scanty or dear. and there is no need ofthose
fearful and rather ridiculous forebodiugs of
famine we sec promulgated in some papers,
But no doubt spectators will handle the art-
cles extensively this season, and perhaps to the
advancement of prices enormously"

TIE DUPLIcTTY OF DoUGLAs.-Hon. Sunset
Cox, who is going TO be defeated for Congress
by Sam Galloway, few days since, made a
speech at Columbus, in which he showed up
the head Squatterite in anything but a fat
teriug light. We quote from the Columbus
City Fact:
'Mr. Cox said he had been blamed by some
for his vote on the English bill !; but he stated
distinctly that be had consulted with Judge
Douglas, and that he advised and approved of
the vote. Jcdge Douglas himself, when the
bill came to the Senate voted against it, al
though it was in exactly the shape in which
be had advised his friend Cox to support it.
Here is testimony against Judge Douglas,
which Mr.. Cox got from his own mouth, to
show that demagogue can play upon both
sides of the question. Douglas knew that the
vote of Cox would be necessary to carry the
bill through the House, and therefore instruc-
ted him how to vote. When it came to the
Senate he knew that it would pass without his
vote, and he voted against it, thus playing up
on both sides Of the question.

The celebration of the 4Tth anniversary of
the battle of Lake Erie, at Cleveland, on Mon
day last, was splendid affair. The number
of persons from abroad in the city was estima-
ten at $1,000, and from the masses of human
beings that thronged the streets we should
think the estimate a reaonable one. Besides
the great numbers who reached the city the
previous Saturday and those who arrived in
wagons, carriages, and by Lake conveyance,
over three hundred crowded cars arrived be-
fore noon on Monday. The procession was the
finest thing of the kind ever witnessed in the
West. The military display was magnificent
the Masons and Odd Fellows were out in
large force and made fine appearance-while
a prominent feature of the cortege was the
survivors of the war of 1912, who numbered
over three hundred. But a single accident
occurred, a citizen Of the city named
Rice losing his life by drowning in attempt
ing to recover his hat which had fallen into
the Lake from the pier. With this exception
everything passed off pleasantly. The scene
toward evening, when the crowd in attendance
lined the hill sides on the South shore of the
Lake for half a mile in extent, covered the
house tops, and swarmed on the piers. waiting
to witness the mock naval battle, was grand
elmost beyond conception-and the rush and
scramble to get off by the first evening trains,
beggars description.

Talk with a soufherner.

Bayard Taylor writes to the New York Tri-
bune:
At White River Junction, where l was
obliged to wait two hours for the train from
Boston to Montreal, fell in with an intelligent
Southern gentleman, whose statements with
regard to the gradual deterioration of the soil
under slave labor fof which, nevertheless be
was an advocated went even beyond Helpers
abhorred statistics. He canddly admitted
that Slavery can only exist as profitable in
stitntiou through continual expansion; when
the soil of one State is exhausted, it must move
TO a new one "But how long can this pre-
cess be carried on?" | asked: "After centu-
~ or two when there is no more new soil left,
what then?" He shrugged his shoulders
THAT, at least, does not concern u.s." l think
no intelligent Soutberner can fail to take the
same view of the final effect of Slave Labor
But considered from their own standpoint,
what suggestion does it present! Slavery has
DO future. Through its own operation it de-
stroys itself, by making itself Improbable,
and the question which mu,t come at last
"What is to be done with it?" is care
tessly passed on to succeeding genera
tiops.

REPUBLICAN THUNDER FROM MAINE

REPUBLICAN, THUNDER FROM MAINE
The election in Maine on Monday last re-
suited in a Republican triumph as brilliant as
that in Vermont, aud far more gratifying, as
the Douglasites confidently anticipated a tri-
umph, claiming that they would not only elect
the Governor and State ticket but majority
of the the Congressional delegation. The re
turns thus far received show that the Republi-
cans have made clean sweep-carryiug the
State by largely increased majority, aud
electing the entire Congressional delegation.
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana, viii soon
tell the same story. and by The time for hold
ing the Presidential election there will be no
thing left Of squatter Democracy.

Douglas, in his tortuous political career, has
been right occasionally. On the 18th of Feb
1S45, he uttered the following sound Republi-
can views on the subject of the Territories.
which may be found in the I4th volume of the
Congressional Globe:
1.-The father may bind his son during his
minority, but the moment that he (the son) at
iains his majority, his 6tters are severed, and
he is free to regulate his own conduct. So,
sir, with the Territories they are subject to
the jurisdiction, and control of Congress, du-
ring infancy. their minority, and when they OBJ
tain admission into the Union, they are free
from all restraints and restrictions, except
such as the Constitution of the United States
has imposed upon each and all the States"
The argument in favor of Congressional in
tervention in the Territories made by Douglas,
in l945, is stronger and more to the point than
any the little dodger" has been able to in-
vent to sustain his bumbug Squatter Sover-

Corresponding Secretary.

We give elsewhere to-day an account of one
of the most terrible of the numerous list of dis
asters which have occurred on the Western
waters during the last few years. 1t took
place Saturday morning last on Lake Michi-
gan, and was occasioned by a schooner running
into the steamer Lady Elgn, which was crowd
ed with passengers, having been chartered by
pleasure party for an excursion. Less than
80 persons were saved, and as there were near
ly 400 aboard, not less than 800 perished.--
The pleasure party numbered about 300, the
regular passengers so, those connected with the
steamer 35. Among the lost were Col. LUMs-
DEN, Editor and Proprietor of the New Or
leans Picayune), wife, son, two daughters and
servant; and Hon. Mr. INGHAM, Member of
the British Parliament and proprietor of the
London Illustrated News, and his son, youth
of sixteen. 1t is sufficient to cause a shudder
to think of the necessity of entering a steamer
on the Western waters, so frequent and terrible
are the accidents that befal them.

SLAVE INcREasE.-The new census will
probably show the number of slaves in the
United States to be over 100000. This is
on the computation that the rate of increase
will not be less than it was from l840 to 1850.
The addition to the numbers within that peri
cd was 716,7 1856, the rate of increase nearly 30
per cent more precisely 28 so per cent At
this rate of increase, which is not likely to be
less, computations have been made of the flu
ture numbers of the slave population within
few years. The figures are, indeed, startling,
from their magnitude. 1t is very certain that
within the first quarter of the next century it
will be at least fifty millions.

A quarrel arose a few nights ago between
two brothers named Longino. (William and

when proposition beir g made by one of them
that they should fight it out Immediately with
double barreled shot guns it was accepted by

that once upon time the old Whig party
failed to nominate candidate in the Congress
