FAIR WARN1NG-From the news we get
this week, there is every reason to believe
that the construction and completion of the
railroad, in a reasonable time, is a" fixed
fact" We would therefore advise the "old
foeies" who do not wish to be disturbed in
their Rip Van Wrinkle" sleep, that it
would he well for them to provide some ru-
raj retreat, where the sound of the whistle
and the puff OF the engine will not be likely
to disturb their repose. They have right
to he happy, and we feel an interest in their
welfare, and advise them in time.-Hend.
(hy.) WaU.

Singular Conduct Of q SaIvor.-The
brig Empire, Capt. Miller, arrived at
Mobile Saturday, after a passage of
forty days, from New York, making
the following singular report:
The brig Empire, on the 18th July,
at 3 o'clock, A. NJ. struck on Orange
Reef, where she remained until she res
ceived assistance from the schooner
Superb, of Warsaw, which schooner
lightened the brig of about l4O pack
ages of assorted cargo, when she came
off the reef, after which the captain Of
the schooner wanted Capt. Miller to let
him take the brig into Warsaw to set
tie the salvage. This Capt. Miller re-
fused to do, but offered to compensate
him fully for his services then and
there, the schooner to deliver back
what goods she had taken to the brig,
and let her proceed on her voyage
This the captain of the schooner re-
fnsed to do, still washington the briggs
going to Warsaw, saying that his in
structions from his employers were to
bring all vessels there. Capt. Miller
being thus unable to effect settlement,
and deeming it best for the interest of
all to avoid Warsaw, came direct to the
port of his destination, arriving yester-
day. The schooner Superb, he pre-
sumes, has taken the goods she had on
board to Warsaw.

Crops IN ALabama-The Montgomery
Mail of Wednesday last has the following
rather discouraging allusion to the crops
in our neighboring State:
Our exchanges received this morning
from Barbour, Wilcox, Dallas, Perry, Tus-
calousa, Jefferson and Blount counties, in
this State, give distressing accounts OF
the drou'h. Such widely extended des-
truction of the corn crop has not, we be-
lieve, before occurred in the Southern
country. Cotton, too, makes but little
promise in this State; and so far as we
can learn, the drouth is quite as extensive
in Georgia.
Corn must be purchased for this scctioe
in the Northwest, until eXt'year's crop
can be gathered. and our people shouId,be
devising ways and means for having it de-
livsred at the lowest possible cost. :,
