rnE WEArnER.-Wu hayo seldom seen moro
'slSrccabic spell of weather than flat which we
have endured FOR ,he past week. Tho skies lave
been alternately i'll sunshine and tuars, and tho
muddy earth has boon dcluscd by torrents of rain,
wi'ich w;ls quickly cvaporated by tho burning rays
ct ln sun. This transition slate has been fur from
pleasant TO parties whose business called them
abroad, and las proved n sariuils drawback TO
ngis,ratiun but The injurious c,ltct of this
weather will DO muro severely felt i'll tho country
whcre tho growing crops have boon exposed TO it's
Jury. Tho telegraph informs that in every Sec
lion lilo same rainy weather has been experienced,
hit nn damage to tho crops has been thus far re-
ported, aud it is hoped that they may yet escape.
Along The coast tho Sea Island cotton planters will
hc the heaviest sufferers. us this crop il generally
planted OH grounds opc 70 The ocean brcczrs, and

trous result. 1t liz customary for tho wcatllcr-wiso
10 predict Il storm nt This season of tho year, but
tho action Of tho Bkrg is somewhat unusual, for
We have been treated to April showers in August,
unaccompauiod hy Tho celestial treworlso that arc
tho general concomltanis of Il uuInmcr storm, but
tho whistiiny wiml and driving rain tell plainly
that lorcas is at his work and The thundcrbolts OF

BIZ VI AND DoINu.--h glance at tho returns from
he different precincts will at once show all astonis-
ng majority OF colorcl votcrs. This discrepancy il
observable i'll crery wnrd and s only to bc nc ccou-
Ell for by the suppositou that tho whites lavo not
given the subject duo attention, but arc dctcrmu-
cd TO await tho ISSUE passycly. We have in vari-
aus ways eIdravorcl to place tho truo condition
of the country before the community, and to show

Tile iah0r OF registration is bnt slight, while tho
advantages that accrue from il aro inralculablc
This TACT is well known 10 The blacks, and their
leaders aro urging them to tho polls By oycry
n,eans in their power.
Since Tho polls haro hGcn opened, only Cos
whitos havo been registered, wliilc in tho same
t:ilc 2o0 blacks have signed their Names leaving
Il majority in invor Of tho latter &C lIG2. This is
only the result Of four days of registering md If
The difference is so great while The subject iB still
. topic OF general discussion, what can be expect
Oh wicn tho Term appointed for tlis purpose draws
to close. Figures DO not lie, and plain state
mcnl of the shows that unless Tho white citizens
shake of their letlnrSy and hasten 10 enroll them
selves, thcy will find that it il loo late, The day Of
grace will be passed, and they will have tho plea
.urc OF rejecting that by their inactivity thoy
havo lost not only their rights of ciiizcnshp,
hut havo ujurc,l othors who were striving To do
thcir country some service. In Now Orleans, and
other Southern cities, committees wcrc appointed
wiose duty II VAS TO 20 around and visit the
whites, AMI urge upon them tho necessity of reg
istcring. Tho Same courso should DO pursued i'm
this city, AMI The matter brought home 10 cvory
mans nttoatinn.
There arc not more than five hundred citiZony
disfranchiscd i'll Charleston, leaving n voting
population OF about $500 whitcu to 5000 blacks.
Under fair system of registration this would bu-
cninn apparent, and it only remains for onr whit
citizens TO show tho Same zeal and activity as the
blacks 10 produce this result. Tho torclleht mo-
cession seen last night is Of the signs of the
times, anu shows that ciiorls arc being made
among the blacks To i'slucc oil tn go to the polls
Ono OF tho transparcncca bore this inscription:
''All who havo not registered should go mt once"
This advice is equally applicable to tho Whites
pnd wo cndorso il heartily, trusting that it will
produce beneficial result.
