EGYPTIAN CorroN--The New Orleans
Picayune says:
We have been shown several bolls Of this
6ne Cotton, grown on the plantation Of
Senator Hammond, of South Carolina. The
fibre is nearly two inches in length, and is
as fine and gloosy as floss silk. The plant
is said to grow from six to eight feet in
height, and will produce thousand pounds
of clean lint to the acre. This is certainly
the King Of Cotton. ~.

AN EVIL 0MEN.--A correspondent OF
the New York Express says, that on Friday,
while discord and confusion prevailed upon
the floor of the House, and threats of disa
union we're freely uttered, and the seeds of
iisunion uusparihgly sown he stepped out,
and as his eye turned upward to look upon
the stars and stripes that are always floating
over both the Senate and the House when
in session, he discovered that the House flag
was rent from end to end, and that the two,
parts into WHICH it was severed were flying
on the breeze, altogether independent and
irrespective of each other.

About the Election.

The vote Of Massachusetts, does not vary
much from that Of 1856. The opposition
gain about 3, 500, whilo Lincoln falls behind
the vote OF Fremont near 5000.
{ The New York Commercial Advertiser
makes Lincolns majority, over the fusion tick
ct in tha, State, about 48, $50. Auburn, the
home of Senator Seward, gives majority Of
1000 for Lincoln.
In Pennsylvania il 10 thought the majority
Of Lincoln will reach at least 90, 900 over the
entire opposition. Instead ofsolecting cand-
dates as heretofore, for their soundness on
the nigger, the people have come to tho very
wise conclusion Of selecting them for their
soundncss on the interests of froa white labor.
We think we are safe in saying the major.
ity in Ohio will reach near ~ 900.
Lincoln's majority over Douglas in Indiana
will be somethining over 80, ,oU0 and in Hi.
nois about the samo. Good enough.
The estimate Of the Republican State Con
trail Committee of California in relation to the
Presidential election is as follows; Lincoln
80, 800, Douglas 81 600, Brccknridgo 81,
600, Bell 10000. In 1886 Buchanan re
ceivod 90, ,365, Fillmore Sc, 1876, Fremont 60,
O9l.
Wisconsin gives Old Abe $4,000 majority
Michigan 22,0G3 Iowa 5000 Minnesoii
5000; Rhode Island 4,b37.
Lincon's plurality in Maine is $4,000; il
Vermont sc, 700; in Connecticut &c ,3GG.
The total majority for Lincoln in the fre
States over Douglas, will be about 739 900
over Douglas vote both north and sout'
about $4,000.
