The crops, after leaving Howard, and

the country with lamentations, and get up
strong .migrsting feeling.
Al Huntsville, ! was quite astonished TO
hear that MIR. BURcKHARr had temporarily
Withdrawn from the Congressional canvass.
This was caused by the announcement Of
Mr.. DENNY, of that place, for the same po-
sIiion. He, however, also withdrew, when
Mr.. Burckhsrt did, but gave out, or caused
II to be given ont, that he would again be a
candidate in the event that Mr.. Burckhart
should re.announce himself. | understood
IN Huntsville, and at Allen, that there was
some private difficulty between them: that
Mr.. DENNY was willing for DR.. HAWKINS
TO make the race, and would support him,
but that if Mr.. BrRcKHARr was 10 be the
Union Candidate, he would take the field,

Mr.. Burckhart were TO meet Monday or
Tuesday, and doubt not The subject is ar

On The cars found Gen. Wilson, Mr..
Jones OF the ST. Joseph Vest, Mai. Bruce

gentlemen, going down 10 the Bell and Ev-
erelt Ratification Meeting. On the route
we picked up Gov. Orr, Col. Swizler, and
host Of others on the same patriotic err
rand. o. course, politics was the princi-
pal theme. Bell, Breckinridge, Douglas,
Orr, and the Jackson's made up the bill Of
fare. In the North East, the Bell and Ev-
erett men are wide awake; The Breckenridge
faction Is strong, bitter, and defiant; the
Union State Ticket Is daily gaining ground,
and everything looks Encouraging. Al ev-

Business is dull in the city, as every
where else, at this season Of the year. The
Union Men are enthusiastic, and making
great preparations for the Ratification
Meeting 10 night. Taking the general talk
and note OF preparation as an index, the
meeting will surely be monster affair.

the Central Committee Of the faction he
heads, is TO hold meeting, and fill up their
ticket. He seems equal shocked and indig

abandoned their principles apd party, and

in session today also; and they present a
