DROUGHT IN THE EXTREME SOUTH-Fdniias.
We have already given some account of the
excessive drought and scarcity of food in
Texas. Intelligence from Mississippi and
parts of Alabama and Arkansas. is no less
distressing. The Democrat, published at Co.
lumbus, Miss, says:
In the immediate neighborhood of town,
and throughout the stern and southern pOr-
lions of the county, the effects of the drought
are plainly TO be seen and if rain does not
come speedily and abundantly, the remaining
hopes OF our farmers will be dssipated
In East mississippi, correspondent writes
as follows have hardly ever known such
continued drought. The crops are cut short,
and even gardens have failed. On last Fri
day 1t commenced raining. and in a few min
utes there was fall of hail, which lasted for
corn and cotton. The former was borne to
he ground, and the latter was cut all 10
pieces
TRe Little Rock (Ark) Gazette, of the 18th,
says; The crops are suffering very uch for
rain in this and the adjoining counties, and
unless it shall come shortly, the yield will be
very much lessened, and r some localities the
corn crop en- tirely destroyed.
The news from Texas is quite as cherries, as
has been hitherto represented. Every thir & is
being burned 10 crisp by the scorchiDg ray s
of the sun. Famine is beginning to distress
the poor. In several counties the people are
holding public prayer meetings, and calling
on the Lord to bless them with life preserving 9
showers sufficient to avert the threatening
famine.
The condition of affairs is not quite so bad
in Alabama, but We are atisfied from reliable
sources, that the crop of Eastern Alabama
and Western Georgia will fall far short of the
needs of home consumers; and If there should
not be heavy crop in South Alabama, backed
py low prices in the West, there cannot but be-
immense suffering for "the staff of life"

From North Carolina.

MOUNT AIRY, N. O., July f6 1860.
This is one OF the most pleasant villages in
Weste Carolina, situated midway between
Wythyille, Va, and Salem, n. c., distant
some ten miles from the Blue Ridge, which
looms up grandly in the north and west, and
to the south is seen the ar-farmed Pilot
shooting up heavenward. The heaithfulless
of the climate makes it a superior location for
schools. and this, together with the fertility OF
the valleys, and the fine sites tor driving ma
chinery found upon The streams making
down from the mountains, have placed real
estate at a high figure, exceeded by but few
localities. The residences of the world. re-
nowned Siamese TWINS are two miles distant
from this place. 1 say residences, because
each one has a farm, upon which his family
resides, they spending the week equally be.
tween them. One has seven, the other eight
children.
The election for Governor, Assembly, and
Sheriff, comes off on first Tuesday in August,
and the candidates are now enlightening " the
dear people"
There has been but little rain here since
May, consequently the crops are suffering
greatly. N

YOUNG LADY COMPLETELY STRIPPED -
On the Indiana and CIucir natl Railroad, &
pleasure party rode a short distance, when
they alighted and stood around on the small
platf 'rm, covering it mpletely, waiting TO
see the cars move before leaving for the woods
Just as the train started, the skirt of one of
the young ladies, who happened to be stand
ing close to the train, caught on nut on the
side of one of the cars, throwing her from ber
feet. Very fortunately, the train was moving
quite slowly at the time, or the consequences
might have been more serious. As it was the
young lady was pretty roughly used. stout
man in the party, seeing ber condition, at once
raised her in his arms, and pulled with all his
strength, endeavoriLg To tear her loose; but the
skirt was both strong and firmly fastened, and
not until all the girls under clothing were
pulled from her body, and her dress torn to
shreds, did he succeed. Ali this traDspired
while the train was moving distance OF 20 or
81 feet, when the conductor saw the danger
and instantly checked its motion. Indeed, the
girl was not entirely released until the train
had stopped. After the excitement of the mo-
ment had passed, 1T was discovered that the
soles of both the girls shoes, by the resis tance
she had offered the train, had been com pletely
stripped away, leaving the uppers upon her
feet. Strange to say, she escaped any serious
injury. She was Immediately eucIrcled by d
number of her female friends, who conveyed
her 70 the village, where her wants were pro.
perly attended to.

Serious Sta5bing-Singular Pheaomsnon--Fins
SUProIK VA JuIy o3d I!

SUFFOLK, VA, July 23d, 1860.
Our little town was thrown into violent
excitement on Saturday evening last, by Sc
rous stabbng affray at the Central Hotel
Several friends, two If them visitors, about to
leave assem- bled there to take parting drink
when the subject of county politics was
broached, discussed with passion, and dis
missed with the lie. With this the melee be-
gan. Mr.. Amos Harold, of this place, well
known to many of your citizens, was seen to
raise his walking-slick, when in tantly he was
seized by Mr.. Edward Brown, also of this
place, and both parties came to the floor
When they arose, it was found that Mr.. Ii.
had been stabbed in seven teen places about his
person, chiefly about the neck in the neigh
borhood of the jugular. Other parties at
| tempting TO separate them, were also stabbed
but, strange to say, none could tell, ut the ex-
amning trial. by whom or by what the stab
| bing was done. Mr. Brown, boweye er, was
held to bail to appear and answer. Mr. Har-
roid is in most critical condition, but many
hope strongly for his recovery.
A rare phenomenon was witnessed in this
neigh borhood, on Friday evening last about
halt past 10 o'clock A large ball of fire was

Dirsef Shipment from Yirgisia- The LyneAbsrg
and Richmond Railroad.


GoRDoNsyILLE, J uly %, 1e60.
Perceiying you take much interest in an
air.Iine road from your city TO LynchburE,
address you q line In reference to its impor-
lance, as oeing the probable means Of divert
Ing portion of the cotton trade To Richmond
tnat now goes TO ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS II to
Richmond not only for manufacturing pur.
poses, Dut more especially for direct shipment
to Europe. You may be aware that the re.
ceipts OF cotton at Mem phis the past year an.
proximate 425, 600 bales, and that arrange
ments have been made TO compress and send a
great deal of this cotton TO New York. via
railroad. at 81 per BALE for re-shipment to
Liverpool. Why cannot some of this cotton
find its way abroad through Virginial Your
State has the railroad facilities and the sea-
port advantages to export a large amount OF
the great Southern staple. Why should a
product like cotton seek route so circuitous
to the Atlantic seaboard, and that through
the Western and Northern States, when
Southern railroads, more convenient and
shorter in distance, present the same IA
cilities, or should do so All the cot
ton produced in Tennessee and he North
ern portion of Mississippi and Alabama,
intended for foreign market, should find an
outlet through the waters of Chesapeake Bay.
If Richmond or Norfolk will make the effort,
they can ship quarter of a million of bales
OF cotton in three years to Europe. Put
treights down 10 competing rates with the
Western roads, and in three years time a large
cotton business can be established. The in
terest OF the Memphis and Charleston Road
would not be subserved particularly in this
connection, but time would allay the opposi-
tion. The political breach now existing be-
tween the two sections of the Union may be
smoothed over. but never effeetually healed,
and the Southern States have learned a lesson
the past year not soon 10 be forgotten. Com
mercial relations independent of the North,
is now the motto deeply engraven upon
Southern policy. Time is required TO carry
it out; but that it will be steadily and
persistently, henceforward, pursued, cam
not be doubted. We have all the national
advantages, and need only energy and en-
terprise to practically carry them out
Virginia has it in her power to lead off in this
grand movement, and show to the South that
IL needs but beginning to be made, TO lay
the foundation of a foreign trade that will, in
a few years, render us perfectly independent
of either Northern money or goods. Direct
intercourse with Europe will soon give the
South all the commercial capital needed to
meet her wants. European capital centres in
New York, and gives her the financial su-
premacy she possesses. Her trade with the
South is one of the chief supports of that SUI
premacy. The agitation of cotton shipments
from Virginia to Europe, is worthy of your
consideration, as Richmond can certainly do
her share of this important trade.
