Gen.

Twiggs, commander of the Southern military district, was under instructions to keep his eye on the Fillibusteros. But, if the Government officers, and the most popular and influential presses and politicians in New Orleans are Filibusters, it is quite idle to make any opposition to their projects. The United States Marshal, for the New Orleans district, is here; and the District Attorney, Mr. Hun-ton, was recently here.

He wanted to heal the breach That Stanly should have been elected has taken every body with surprise, arid more especially is it singular that he should have received an increased majority in Washington county, where all the leading-Whigs are against him. It has doubtless been effected by exciting the poorer class, who do not hold slaves, against the leading men who do Mr. Stanly setting himself up as the champion of the non-slave-holding interest. Mr. Collins used to have a vast influence in that county, but it has been broken down by representing him as an aristocrat.

The meeting met according to adjournment when the President delivered a few remarks, relative to the The cotton crop is greatly injured by the drought, early, but 1 hurlow Weed thought the time had not and the probability is that it will be cut off one-half or two-thirds. In the memory ot the oldest inhabitant, there never has been known here a drought so yet come, and that Geo. Scott would be able to keep the field till after the fall elections.

In accordance with these views, it was thought best to treat the silver-greys as equals, as far as office was concerned, but to allow the woolly-heads, who last year.

Rain now will only partially restore the cotton only late corn can be benefitted by it. We understand that in Jackson the crops are equally bad. Texas. The Marshall Texian of July 26, says We have been fifteen years in the Cotton growing States; and we have never known a drought so long continued and disastrous. On very few plantations, will there be even a fair crop, while on nearly all others scarcely anything will be made.

Many planters will not make more than corn enough for bread and if the drought continues a few days longer the Cotton crops will be almost entirely destroyed. It is already so far injured that scarcely a fourth of the usual yield will be realized. The rivers continue extremely low, but not quite so much so as a week ago. We have advices from Fayetteville to 13th P. M.

There was 20 inches water on the shoals, and our lighest draught boats would be able to get up, with lighters conveying merchandize for the interior, and probably return with light loads of (ip-codntry produce. This latter, however, is not certain. Generally business continues dull, owing to the scarcity of produce. But at this season of the year not much animation is looked for. A few weeks more will drive away the dreary season, and our town will again make a more formidable appearance.

Our merchants are many of them already at the North selecting their stock of fall goods.

A writer in the Baltimore Patriot, who is travelling in Ohio, gives the following account of the Randolph who, it will be remembered, were driven from the homes which had beeh procured for them, by the whites: 44 Troy, about twenty miles from Dayton, is a small and rather dilapidated town, between this place and Pequa.

Along the canal the majority of the Randolph negroes are located. It was in the adjoining county of Mercer that the large tract of land was purchased for their settlement from which they were forcibly ejected by the white inhabitants. The condition of these poor C'rpatures is a sad commentary on the miserable policy of emancipating negroes, and allowing them to remain in this coantry. The majority of these etae'e invaluable servants are no worthless, pests upon the community among whom they afe located, and often want fdr the common necessities of life.
