CROPS IN srIssIssIPPL.

/ The Washington County Times says, Cot
ton blooms are making their appearance in
nearly all the fields, and cotton Is growing
rapidly under the beanling sun which now
pours bis rays upon Us.
The Liberty (Amite county Advocate,
says: II crop prospects of this county are
! promising. The season. barring the cold
weather, has thus far been propitious.-
The corn is looking fine and the cotton
though backward as a general thing, has "a
good color, and stimulated by the recent
rains and warm weather, Is growing rapid
| Iy. Nearly all the cotton has been scraped
and large proportion moulded The freed
men are working unusually we'll, and the
fields looks as If they had been well cared
for. The general prospect, at least, is en-
Gouraging.
The Fayette Chronicle and Crystal
Springs Herald announce that they have
seen cotton blooms.
The Canton Citizen says the crops in this
section are doing comparatively well, and
planters are hopeful.
The Canton Mail complains that ii has not
seen cotton blooms yet and adds, that cot
ton Is about knee high-tO duck. We hope
to be able to give notice of the bloom in our
next, or next after the next"
The Crystal Springs Herald, says: We
have been blessed of late with abundant
showers, which will prove beneficial to the
crops, as rain was much needed. A differ
ence can already be seen.
The Winston county Bulletin says: The
crops thr0Qgho the County, still continue
to improve rapidly, under the influence of
the fine weather We have been having for
the past three weeks.
The Pamela Star says: The crops have
been worked out clean. Corn is looking
very fine and a full yield may be expected.
Cotton, though backward, presents healthy
appearance, and good stands will doubt
less be obtained. The wheat crop is almost
entirely harvested, and much of it forward
ed TO maj ket. The yield is good average.
The Washington county Times says Crops
in our county are growing finely. a little
rain is needed for corn, which will soon be
in roasting ear. The Bolivar people say
that their crops are better and more forward
than those in our county but the prospects
are fiatteling enough here to warrant the
hope for fine harvest.
The Canton Mail says The rains are very
partial. In some localities the corn crops
are literally burning up, while, as we have
said, others are having an abundance Of
rain.

Comments Of uInc Press
On the CoRveHtioH and Platform Of Tie
Liberal Republicans.
From nc Natchez Demderat.


In another place we present the resolu-
tions adopted by the National Union Re
publican party of the State of Mississippi"
in convention assembled at Jackson, on the
sd Of June. They are so sensible moder-
ate and conciliatory In spirit that, whatever
may be our opinions of the prominent lead
ers of that wing of the Republican party,
we cannot but wish the triumph Of the prn-
ciples and policy they therein avow. We
are free to confess that the principles euun-
ciated IN the resolutions are just such prin-
ciples as we should have expected TO see
emanate from purely Conservative Con-
vention of the State. In this canvass at
least, these principles are our principles, eX-
cept that we should not care 10 so solemn
ly affirm our unwavering support Of the adj
ministrabiOn Of Gen. Grant, for the reason
that his administration Is too uncertain and
might possibly go farther than we should
wish to follow IL. For the rest OF the resO-
buttons, we say 'good and well done" And
IL, upon this platform, the National Union
Republican Party will nominate for the
State offices men who were identified with
the opposition TO the Constitution last year
we will be among the first 20 take up tie
banners of that party, for this canvass, and
cry '-onward to victory" The nomination
of such men would be consistent with the
principles avowed. They can be found In
the Republican ranks. Nominations of this
kind will be the only proof of sincerity we
shall ask tor. Give the people Of Missis-
sippi that single proof and they will not
only hold no Conservative Conventions and
nominate no Conservative candidates, but
they will carry the banners Of the National
Union Republican Party TO a victory so de-
cisiVe as To decide forever and aye the fate
OF Radical extremists in Mississippi.

HOW TO MAINTAIN OUR FREE INsTITU
TIONS.
LIBERTY HALL,
CRAwFoRpvILLE, Ga, June l.


CRAwFoRDvILLE, GA, June l.
Ny Dear Sir: Your very kind and
highly appreciated favor of the 9th inst.
was received yesterday. Allow me to re-
turn my thanks for it, am improving,
slowly, very slowly however, from my
hurt some four months ago. | can now
sit up part of the day, but can neither
stand nor walk yet without aid of some
sort. have, notwithstanding this afflics
ton, resumed work ON the second vol
ume ofthe Constitutional View of the
Late War Between the States. | agree
with you in styling it the worst and most
culpable that ever took place on earth. /
greatly fear, too, that it will, in its ulti-
mate consequences, prove to be the most
disastrous one that ever occurred to the
principles of constitutional liberty.
Our Constitution, as made by the faith
ers, was one of the most wonderful pOliti-
cal achievements ever attained by genius
and patriotism. Had its principles been
adhered to, this late terrible war would
never have occurred, and the only hope
now for the present and the future of the
country is to bring back the federal ad-
ministration to the true principles of the
Constitution. This can only be done by
a virtuous, intelligent, and patriotic peo-
pie. When bad men conspire to impose
their usurpatiOns ''outside" the Constitu-
| ton, good men everywhere must combine
to keep all such men out of power. This
can only be done by the publication of
truths, and by awakening in the minds of
the people the sense of the dangers which
are threatening them, and arousing them
to future action before tits too late. The
only proper remedy for all existing evils
and the greater ones which appear in the
future is at the ballot-box.
The great object with me in the rem
nant of nv DAYS is to do all in my power
toward the incubation of such truths and
principles as are essential for the main
tenance ofour institutions as handed down
from the fathers. To this course the fu-
ture of my life is devoted And notwith-
standing all that is said and has been said
about the rebellion and the disloyalty of
the rebels, DC, know of but one test of
true LOYALTY in this country, and that is
LOYALTY to the principles of the Constitu-
ton of the United States. In this, and in
answering devotion to them, i yield to no
man that ever breathed the vital air OF
Heaven.
/ can say no more now, but repeat my
thanks for your letter, and send you my
thanks for your letter, and send you my
kindest regards and best wishes.
Yours, truly,
ALEXANDER III. STEVENS.
