Rumors and specuIations.

We subjoin, in addition to the foregoing
report of the proceedings Of the conven-
ton, the following rumors and specula-
tons
The more conservative portion of the
South have conferred with the cotton
States, and persuaded them to remain in
the convention until after the nomination,
with view to controlling it, if possible
The present belief is there will be no
bolt till then, as Alabama's instructions
fix no point OF time for a secession. In
case of secession. the southern men will
nominate JEFF. Davis.
CHARLESTON, April q The action Of
the convention yesterday in authorizing
individual votes from uninstructed States
against the determination of majorities is
likely to smash up Breckinridge's chan
ces--depriving him Of unity in Penn
sylvania and New Jersey. 1t can hardly
help Douglas more than five votes at
most, in the aggregate. 1t may get him
ten slaveholding State votes in all, losing
him from five to ten in Minnesota, Ohio,
Indiana, Vermont, &c.
CHARLESTON, April 24--The Senate
platform will be incorporated in the con
veniion's platform. II will have all the
South-120 votes--and 7 from Califor-
MIA and Oregon leaving but 25 ncces-
sary from the North. which will give it
at least so, if not rs.
CHARLESTON, April 24.-If a salts
factory platform be not made, the whole
South will withdraw, and from present
appearances will, ere leaving Charleston,
nominate Jefferson Davis by the votes Of
every delegate representing certain DEM
ocratic party States, leaving Douglas to
be nominated by votes from the republic
can party States, if they chose.
A dispatch to the Philadelphia Press
says:
The decision Of the convention on the
unit rule will secure to Judge Douglas
fifteen or twenty votes more than he
would have obtained if a different policy
had been adopted, as he has warm friends
in the delegations Of several States which
have sent a majority Of their representa-
tiyes here to oppose him.
The construction Of the platform is now
becoming the absorbing topic. The ul-
ira Southern delegates are clamoriDg
loudly for the insertion Of a slave-code
plank in it; and Hon. VIM. l.. Yancy Of
Alabama. who is generally regarded as
their leader, declares that they will not
be satisfied without the slave-code, even
ifa Southern candidate is nominated.
Those who are extreme in their ideas
threaten that Southern delegates will
withdraw from the convention If a popular
sovereignty platform is adopted. II is
probable that minority OF the delega-

IMPORTANT Discovery. 1t is announ-
ced that Prof. Greenough, of New Or

SEVERE DRoUGnT AT TUE SoUTH.
severe and protracted drought prevails
throughout the South. The Charleston
Mercury says:
Flowers and early fruits, strawberries,
etc., in this section. are crisped and burn
ed up with an atmosphere varying from
81 to 80 degrees, and no rain--not even
fall ofdew--so requisite to their growth.
This drought seems to be universal
throughout the southern country. Our
exchanges from Louisiana complain Of
drought. Rain, rain, is the word every
where. The cotton, The sugar, the corn,
needs rain. So long period Of dry
weather has not been witnessed in early
spring before for years in that State.

MARYLAND FISHERIES. The Denton
journal states that the fisheries in that
county are doing moderate business
much better than last spring, but not near
so well as in some past seasons. The
fisheries on Tuckahoe creek are doing
much better than on the Choptank -
Herrings are selling at so cents per hun
dred. and sha6 at $40 per hundred -
The Susquehanna fisheries are doing but
a moderate business.

ABOUT TO Kick THE TRACES. The

on the subject of what will be its course
in the approaching political campaign :
We are ready to act with the Demo

nized hostility to the irrcprcssiblc con-
hicf party, marsballed under the leader

Lincoln, Giddings and Blair, the en-
dorsers of Helper and the apologists Of
John Brown.
We cannot, under any pretence or
disguise, act under such guardianship,

G4t- The Tribune tells tale of Re-
publican dog, who is sent regularly to a
newsstand for the morning papers. 1t
says that he curls his tail coutemptuous-
ly at the Times, but is greatly elAted
when the Tribune is placed in his mouth.
This only proves that he is a logged
devotee of party. He likes to wear a
collar and follow master himself, and
he naturally prefers a newspaper that
does the same thing. Besides, the Tri-
baRe must remember that he can't read
be judges newspapers. like everything
else, by the sense of smell; and The
stronger the scent the clearer the case

probably the exclamation that arises to

that we would subscribe to a newspaper

FIRE.-ATTEMPT TO Poison. The
Annapolis correspondent Of the Balti-
more Sum-" under date Of the Goth in
slant, writes " Yesterday afternoon the
dwelling of Mr. Brice j. Wortbington,
some seven miles from Annapolis, was
consumed by fire. Mr.. Worthington and
family we're on visit TO Baltimore, and
returned in the evening train, and as the
cars beared his home be saw his dwell
ling in flames, but so far gone that all
attempts to extinguish the fire was hope
less. The dwelling of Mr.. f. Gaither,
together with all the furniture, and 10.
Gated about one mile from Mr. Worthing-
tons, was also consumed by fire on We'd

"On Thursday morning an attempt
was made by two servant men to poison
Mr.. Samuel Purdy and fnmily, residing
on the farm of Gen. John II. Stewart,
Of Baltimore city, located on South

means used was putting ground ivy ia

ABoLITIoNIzATIoN OF THE MARYLAND
OPposlTIoN.-The opposition convention,
held in Baltimore last week, was COM
posed of nothings, who simply
seem anxious to get rid Of their old
name, and SO christen themselves a
" Constitutional Union" party They
should rather call themselves black re-
publicans, especially as, after sharp
struggle, the convention endorsed Henry
Winter Davis by an indirect vote of 81
to ri. The delegates at large appointed
to the opposition national convention, ia
be held in Baltimore, were Ezekiel +.
Chambers for the Eastern Shore, and
Mayor Thomas Swami for the Western
Shore, and it was on the district dele
gates afterwards designated that the
question of Winter Dayis's vote for
Pennington came up. An electoral ticket
was nominated
