The damage in each case is laid at

it as compliment that the value Of
its opinion is so highly appreciated,
and adds: 'We will only say to them,
and to all others, that we are pre-
pared to meet the issue, and that
libel suits will not deter us from ex-
posing and denouncing imbccility,

the public interests will be promoted
by so doing"

PROSPECTUS
THE BAPTIST.

WE PROPOSE to publish q WEEKLY
w PAPER, devoted to the diffusion Of
the principles of religion and the interests
of the Baptist denomination. We have
been moved to this undertaking by the
solicitations of brethren in various por-
tions of this State, as we'll sls of other
States, among the readers of the late
Confederate Baptist, and by our own con-
viction that 4 paper of q high character
would contribute largely to the intellectual
improvement, the religious progress and
the general welfare of the churches. The
field is large, affording ample room for all
sincere and Jealous laborers.
The Baptist will be printed on q sheet
about twenty-five by thirty-two inches, and
Will contain twcnty-four broad cold.nns,
mostly in Long Primer type, clear and
legible, so that it may be read with COM
fort even by the aged. Its entire mecha-
nical execution will be of the highest order
pondcnce and contributions from the
other Southern States, and, occasionally,
from Europe and our missionary stations
abroad. The entertainment and instruc-
ton of the young especially the child
ren-will not be forgotten; and our vene
bic friend, "Unclo Fabian" so well and
favorably known to the readers of the
Contede,:ate baptist, will resume his iabors
in their behalf. In short, we possess all
the facilities requisite to produce paper
of the first rank AS such, we offer it to
our brethren, and solicit their generous
cooperation.
Tie Baptist will be issued as soon as a
sufficient number of subscribers have been
secured.
TEEMs-s3 year, payable on the recep-
ton of the first number.
All communications will be addressed to

CROPS DAMAGED. The Winnsboro
Ne,cS, of Saturday, says:


The damage done by the late storm,
we fear, has been good deal. Late
wheat and oats, as well as wheat
which had been cut and put into
shocks in the field, are very much
injured. We understand the fine field
of oats belonging to Mr.. W. r.
Robertson, Esq.-the finest we ever
saws badly damaged. aH
A letter from Dunker's Creek, in
the same District, says: "
I regret to communicate that the
wheat crop is seriously injured by the
recent wet spell. I believe that at
least one-eighth sprouted, and the
prospect is, that there will be further
loss from rain. We are indeed upon
the eve of starvation, for very short
drought in July will ruin the corn
crop, and it is to be hoped that the
farmers will cease their endeavors for
cotton, and push forward with the
corn ploughing, and that our colored
friends will also stop running for Go
vernon and giving 4th of July barbe-
cues, and lend themselves diligently to
their plows and hoes-Gen. Sickles
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
The Greenville Mountainee,. says:
Continued heavy and washing rains
have done injury to the growing
crops in our District; the extent Of
these injuries, however, we are not
prepared to estimate, as practical
farmers seem to differ in their OPT
MONS about the matter. 1t is true,
that some of the wheat shocked in
the nelds has ueen seriously damaged,
while the growing corn, especially in
the bottoms, has been also injured.
Still, few more bright days, like
the present, may overcome much Of
the evil that has apparently been
wrought, and we await with anxiety
the time when the wheat harvest shall
be completed, and the result of the
past weeks of rainy weather be fully
developed.
From the heavy rains and winds
for the past few days, we fear that
the crops have sustained very mate
rial injury. Corn and oats have been
blown down in many instances, and
cotton almost destroyed. Where the
crop was at all grassy and the land
low, it will be difficult now, after so
long wet spell, to save it; and
should dry season Of any length
now ensue, the effect would be disas-
trous. .-,Sumter Watchman.

SANTA ANNA.-The New York He
raids special correspondent, writing
at Havana, under date of June Is,
gives IN account of the adventures of
General Lopez Santa Anna since
leaving New York. The General and
his staff travelled incognito to Vera
Cruz, and were warmly but not
openly welcomed by the Liberals in
side the walls. The American and
British Consuls dined with him on
the steamer, and all seemed to go
harmoniously until the 7th instant,
when Commander Roe, of the United
States steamer Tacony, and Com
mander Aynsley, of the British man.
of-war Jason, appeared on board, and
removed him, under protest, to the
Iacony. Thence he was taken to
Sacrificios, in charge of an officer,
and again placed upon the Virginia,
to the commander of which Com
mander Roe gave orders to land him
at n foreign port. On the return
trip, the vessel arrived at Sisal, on
the 11th instant, when the command
er of the Liberal forces came aboard
'AAoe Ot1SAS So " tiIOou lllu. l. u6 NT6n-
eral declared that he was prisoner
in the hands of the United States,
and the commander of the Virginia re-
fused peremptorily to surrender him.
Three Mexican schooners thereupon
ranged alongside the vessel, with
their guns pointed at her, and the
demand being renewed, and q guard
of marines boarding the vessel, it
was considered useless to resist, and
Santa Anna was taken ashore. Gen
eral Tavoada, commanding the Impe-
rialists at Vera Cruz, had demanded
an explanation from Commander
Roe. The commands of Boryas and
Canales, at Tampico, and the citizens
of that place, have formally pro-
nounced for Santa Anna, and pronun-
cidmiento to that effect has been is
sued. General Flores had been
designated rs the person to present
the action of the city to Santa Anna,
and ordered to proceed to New York
for the purpose.

MANIFEST DEsTINY.-In his speech,

at Boston, Mr.. Seward said:

these thirty six States, but this whole

rican Union. loud cheers.) The

as much rs you please; God and

and you arc to live together rs bro
theirs i'll unity and harmony.
Give nae only this one assurance,
that there shall never be an unlawful
resistance, by an armed force, to the
President bearing the authority of the
United States, and give me then fifty,
forty, or thirty more years of life,

ance, the existence OF this Union

Constitution and laws; aud whatever
is wrong in the laws, OF in the Gus

REcoNsTRUcrIoN. We copy the fol-
lowing paragraph from recent num-
Der of the Richmond Wig, one of
the most sensible of the reconstruc-
ton papers in the South:
We have shown, in former articles,
that it is necessary to conform to all
terms and conditions of the recon
struction laws, aud that in order to
make reconstruction effective and ac-
ceptable to Congress, and at the same
time to guard against confiscation
and prescription, it may be necessary
for us to vote for liberal minded and
competent Republican candidates for
the convention, in spite of the com
panionship i'll which they are found.
Some will doubtless exclaim, "Ho-
nor forbids such humiliation. We
turn over all such to Gen. Long
street, who has declared himself will
ing to unite in efforts to restore
Louisiana to her former position in
the Union, through the party now iu
power, and who nobly announces
that he will be happy to work in any
harness that promises relief to our
distressed people, or harmony to the
nation.
The last paragraph of Gen. Long
streets letter deserves to be written
in letters OF gold 1t is: ''If every
man III the country will meet the
crisis with proper appreciation of
our condition, and come fairly up to
his responsibilities, on tomorrow,
the sun will smile upon happy peo-
pie, our fields will again begin to yield
their increase, our railroads and rivers
will TEEN with abundant commerce,
our towns and cities will resound with
tt tumult of trade, and we shall be
invigorated by the blessings of AL
mighty God"

An Opinion.


The Journal Of Commerce, which
reflects the views of the commercial
men of the country, thus refers to
the Attorney Generals opinion:
We have no special liking for the
plan of avoiding plain issue and
lodging it. Under ordinary circum-
stances, we should, perhaps, COM
mend the legal acumen and ability
evinced by the Attorney General, and
take his opinion as fair commentary
on doubtful law. But that it inter
prets the military reconstruction bill
in manner totally opposite to the
intent of Congress, no one can doubt,
who reads both, and who heard or
read the discussions in Congress when
the bill was passed. We doubt whe-
ther good can come from any attempt
to avoid the distinct issue which ex-
lists between the supporters of that
bill and the friends of liberty and
self-government. It would be much
preferable if the military bill were
held up in all its naked deformity, to
be inspected, by the people of coun-
try once loving freedom and hating
despotism, and to be supported or
overthrown by that people. AS it is.
the Administration of Mr.. johnson
stands in an undignifed position, en-
deavoring to explain away the objec-
tionable features of law which he is
unwilling to enforce, and therefore
giving an occasion for an accusation
of want of boldness. In this, rs in
many other things, the Administra-
ton is weak. From the commence.
ment, MIR. johnson has talked boldly
and acted feebly. 1t would have been
infinitely better for him, and given
the radical party much more severe
blows, if he had acted on the theories
of his Attorney-Genera without pub
fishing them in this way, to be read
and discussed, without action. If
these are correct interpretations, why
has he delayed an hour in removing
the despotism which Mr.. Stanbery
asserts is in existence under Sheridan?
If there were more deeds and fewer
words in the Administration, it would
be better for all parties.
Speaking of Reconstruction the
same paper says:
The Southern people are not only
puzzled, but much disconnected in
regard to the duty of registration.
The first impulse of many was, to
have nothing to do with it. But in
action surely turns over the whole
machinery of State government into
the hands of the negroes. A decision
of some kind cannot longer be
avoided, since several States will soon
go into elections for delegates to form
State constitutions; and those who do
not now participate in making the
laws will afterward have no option
but to obey the laws as they find
them. The question, therefore, is
presented plainly, shall they oppose
the programme marked out for their
guidance, knowing that to do so
will be unavailing, or shall they join
in call for conventions and seek to
control them? The feeling in favor
of registration grows much stronger,
as the question is put nearer to all
issue. We have before advised, and
we renew the advice to Southern men,
not to lie down inactive. Nothing is
lost by registering and voting; every
thing may be lost by neglect.
