occasional writes to Forneys Press
A rumor, which am disposed to believe,
after thorough inquiry, is i'll circulation in
| this city, to the effect that the AdIninistra-
! ton has advised and viii support the seces-
sion of the Southern delegates from the
| Charleston Convention, should Douglas be
| nominated. A Cabinet Minister is said 10
have stated TO a distinguished Northern
Democrat, two or three days ago, that this
scheme was arranged and he did not hesi-
tate to add that it was very far from i'm
| probable that the South would take posses
| sion of the Union Constitutional Convention,
which is to assemble at Baltimore on the
| 9th of May, in order to carry the Southern
| people against Douglas, should he succeed
in overcoming his opponents at the Ma
tional Convention. You need not be sur
prised if this project is carried out. That it
is in contemplation do not doubt. f-a
Our information from every section of
the country induces us to believe that the
wheat crop will be q failure-the early
| freezes and the long winter having killed it
out From every other portion of the State
and from Tennessee our exchanges bring
| like gloomy accounts. In the northern
| States such failure might be repaired by
| spring seeding but all experiments made
| in this State and Tennessee have only served
| to demonstrate that the spring wheat is ut
| terry valGeless as bread crop. Our farmers
will have to plant the more corn, in order
to make up the deficiency, and we suppose
we shall have 10 content ourselves with
q corn dodgers for the year to come
