The friends Of Senter, suffrage and the
citizens ticket for the Legislature were
yesterday assembled in large numbers at
Bellview Station, on the Northwestern
railroad. Stirring and eloquent speeches,
in which the situation was fully reviewed
and the justice of the peoples demand for
suffrage earnestly advocated, were made by
William g. Brien, Esq, and Capt. r. b.
Sloan. In the course of his remarks, Mr..
Brien paid high but deserved tribute to
the ability and patriotism Of Mr.. Cooper.
the candidate for the Senate, and spoke
also in highly commendatory terms Of the
other gentlemen on the suffrage ticket.
The speeches were well received, and the

THE COTTON CROP.

A letter to prominent commission
merchant of New Orleans, dated Grand
Gulf, July q, says:
| have delayed an answer to yours
that might be able to write you more
satisfactorily in regard to the crop prOsS
poets. The most marked feature in res
gard to cotton is that it is considerably
later than usual, and perhaps three
weeks later than last year. LAST year |
had blooms the lst of June, this year on
the Dist. Now, some planters say the
cotton will "catch up.' You don't bea
lieve that, neither do |. The consequence
will be the picking season will be that
much later. The election, fear, will
retard the picking amazingly. | tell the
negroes it will be hard TO say which is
the worst-the election or the worms.
SO you see my opinion is that the crop
will be short and late. The cotton field
looks very promising now; and late,
full and favorable season from this out
will do wonders. Corn has suffered foT
rain in some places, but think everybody
will make enough. Everything depends
upon the season hereafter. We ere now
gathering fodder and entirely too much

Appeal Of she Exeeutive CemmIttee 10
the Friends of Suffrage and Peace.
NASHVILLE, Aug. 3, lS69.-The Ex-
eculive Committee Of the county Of Da-
wilson would suggest to the friends Of
the cause Of Universal Suffrage and the
Senter ticket, the exercise of all the
moderation, patience and forbearance, on
the day of election that they can com,
mand. Let not our enemies provoke US
into unseemiy quarrels, or incite any Of
us to participation in riotous or disorderly
behavior. If there should be disturbance
we feel very sure it viii not originate
with the friends of suffrage and peace.
But let them be careful that they are not
betrayed into even an exhibition Of tenn
per by anything short Of absolute assault
from our adversaries, which, we may do
them the Justice to say, we do net an
ticipate. If we have disputes to settle
and quarels to adjust, let such matters
be deferred until the election is over.
We have too much important business
to transact to be distracted therefrom by
idle disputes. Let US go silently and
peacefully to acork, and so far as our
cause and its friends and advocates are
concerned, see to it that if disorder is
produced, the blame shall not rest at
our doors, nor sully the white banner Of
peace We propose to bear on to inevitable
victory.
