The Marion (Ala.) Commonwealth, of the 13;h j inst., says : j " Ou Saturday last we had quite a refreshing; rain, and since then then the weather has been j remarkably fine for the growing crops of corn ; but the prospects of a crop of cotton is gloomy beyond description. Il is now near the middle of May, and all we can learn from our planters is, that the cotton planted in most places is barely up, w hen it should be chopped out to a stand by ibis time. This state of ilungs must inevitably cut the cotton crop of this part of the country off materially, if it does not entirely destroy it." The Haynevitle Watchman, of the 12th inst., has lhe follow ing : Within the past week we have been blessed with a fine season of rain, and vegetation, which had become almost dried up from the long con tinued drought, has assumed a lively and growing appearance.'1 The Greensboro' Beacon, of the 12th instant, says : Raix. We were favored in this place and vi ciruty with quite a refreshing and most acceptable j rain on Saturday last.

O" We are authorized to announce JAMES IVALLACE as a candidate for Sheriff ol Mecklenburg County at the en- suiiu: Angust electiou, '10th of May, The citizens of this town and county contem plated at one time celebrating this day in a style worthy of the occasion and the events to w hich it gave birth. It was the desire lo collect the expat riated sops of the good old North State and the descendants of the " immortal signers," and by the eloquence of a Hawks a Hayne and a Ram sey, to continue their names and deeds down lhe stream of time, emblazoned on U)e page of his tory, embellished with the arts of rhetoric, and the inspirations of poeir'' but from various causes it was postponed hut the Odd Fallows, true to the palriolic instincts of their benevolent and humane Instiiution, determined that the day should not pass without a becoming demonstration. So preparations were made and invitations sent lo the sister Lodges in tho adjoining counties and State, and quite a number of brethren were in at tendance. At 11 o'clock, a procession was formed, which inarched through the streets, their rich Regalia attracting the attention and eliciting the admiration of the crowd. They then pro ceeded to the Court-llouse, when, after an appro priate prayer by the Rev. Mr. Farrar, the Meck lenburg Declaration of Independence was read by Mr. G. H. Spencer, prefaced by a short, but well conceived speech, when J. A. Fox, Esq., the orator of lhe dar' was '"oduced to the audience, Having had so short a notice, he did not attempt an elaborate effort, but his address was character- jZ(. by beauty of conception, eloquence and na- thos, and was delivered wnh a graceful and ele gant elocution. The Columbia Brass Band was in attendance hut we cannot say much for its per formances. We understand that a sumptuous dinner was prepared for the Order by Mr. Ray, of the American Hotel, whore everything passed off in fine style. GT" Our neighbor of the Whig attempts to be facetious at lhe nomination of W. R. Myers, Esq., by the Democrats, on the lbth instant. W e were ! cratic parly and in 1S50, when the Whig party, under the control of Seward and Truman Smith, was urging General Taylor, thon President of the United States, to pursue a course in regard to the admission of California, that Mr. Clay and Web ster and others thought would shipwreck the gov- ernment, iur. iviyers uoitny come out win, me States Rights Democrats and breasted the storm of abolitionism that was then sweeping over the country since which time he has co-operated n f ut i i it . .i with that party whose candidate he now is. " We have heard many persons express their surprise that the party could not, among all the savans of the Democracy in the county, find ei ther a native, or at any rate a wool-dyed, Demo crat to represent them in the Legislature." Whig. There may possibly have been some Whigs who were not only surprised but chagrined at Mr. M.'s nomination, for t)iey know his strength but certainly no Democrats are amongst the number, for the nomination was unanimously made, and we have since been assured by knowing ones from various parts of the county, that a gentle man who would poll a larger vote does not live in her borders. What does the Whig mean by a wool-dyed Democrat, if Mr. M. is not one? He is sound upon all lhe measures of the party. He assisted us to elect both Pierce, Reid and Craige, and now sustains the administration. Ho stands squnre upon the platform of the State Convention, and will deal out to Gen. Dottkery during this canvass, as he did in 1851, blows that will tell upon his prospects in this region. But he was once a whig, therefore he is not a wool-dyed Dem ocrat. Mr. Mangnmand Outlaw were once Dem ocrats, and yet when they left their old friends and went over horse, foot and dragoons, to lhe enemy, they were considered good enough wbtgs to hf nlnffH into th horhor ri iTi r-o o ttiu nil-,,' them to all the rights and privileges of member- . . . ki i i- s"'l " 'lce- renounced nis neresies something over four years ago, and has since oc cupied an elder's place in the great Democratic j church, and by works and not by words has he established his position among the faithful. Our neighbor may write as much ho pleases, but his arguments will prove a kicking gun that does more execution behind than before. OCT Appointments of A. II.

On Wednesday, the 17th instant, a meeting tt-as held in the Court-House lo express the views of our citizens in regard to the buildmg of the Atlantic, Tennessee & Ohio Rail-Road, and to respond to an invitation from the citizens of Wil mington to meel them in Convention on the 25th instant, to devise ways and means to clean out and otherwise improve the Cape Fear Bar. It has long been a desideratum to establish, il possible, a seaport town within our own borders, and Wilmington from its natural position and the accumulation of capital, together with the enter prise and public spirit manifested by her people seem to indicate that that is the proper point, If the Legislation of the Slate can be so directed as lo acccomplish that object without either creating a monopoly or acting with injustice towards the other portions of the State, every Norths-Carolin ian shou'd desire its success, We believe this can be done by constructing a road from Jonesboro', Tennessee, via this place to Wilmington. The Road would penetrate one of lhe richest and most productive countries on the globe ; a section that has never felt the fostering hand of the State alle viating its isolated condition, and providing an outlet for its surplus productions. From what we know of the geography, this route will not conflict with any of the improvements in which ihe State is interested, We are progressive Democrats, and of course are in favor of a liberal, enlightened and judicious system, that will bear alike, as far as practicable, upon all portions of the Slate, We are opposed lo monopoly, and believe it a great principle of right and justice that any community is entitled to a charter to build Rail-Roads or make any other improvement in their condition, provided they do it with their own means that lhe Legislature cannot, without abrogating one of the fundamental principles of Free Trade, force a people to send its products io tiny market 1 hat their interests do not justify that the people have a right to buy where they can buy cheapest and sell w here they can to the best advantage, and consequently are eniitled to those facilities io market, which their own interest, enterprise and means enables them to provide and that the State, 90 far from throw, ing impediments in the way, should lend them a helping hand. The Road now contemplated is free from objections to even the most jealous guardian of the States' interest in the scheme now commenced. It will be a chain that will bind the East and West together in one common brotherhood developing the resources of the one and building up a seaport and commercial empo rium for the other. A scheme more happily de vised and fraught wilh more beneficial conse quences to the good old State could not be pro jected. From this point lo Wilmington by the contemplated Road, is about 50 miles nearer than to Charleston, and if the bar is removed will be the market for the produce on the entire line. We hope the Convention now in session will agree upon the best route and be able to present so strong a case to the next Legislature that it cannot refuse its aid. This is a new subject and j we await the action of the Convention with a good deal of interest. We hope that statistics w ill be I brought out that will enable us to present the scheme to our readers in its proper view. Cralsc and Hunt. We clip the following report of the difficulty between our Representative from this District, Mr. Craige, and Mr. Hunt, of Louisiana, from the South Carolinian of the 17th instant : Washington, Monday, May 15, 1854. Mr. Richardson asked to offer a resolution to terminate the debale on the Nebraska bill on Sat urday next, at 12 o'clock, and that the consider ation of the special order, the Pacific railroad bill, be postponed until the 24th inst. Mr. Sage objected. Mr. Richardson moved a suspension of the rules. Carried yeas 137, nays G6. Mr. Richardson moved the previous question. Mr. Hunt. I wish to propose an amendment as to the lime, which will make the resolution more acceptable to the opponents of the hill. Mr. Sage moved the resolution be laid on the (able. Mr. Hunt again rose lo make a proposition. Mr. Craige objected, amid cries of ilhear him I" Mr. Hunt. The gentleman compels me to take ground which I would not otherwise take. The remainder of the sentence was lost in deafening cries of " order, order." Mr. Craige. 1 look on the gentleman as a fac tionist, and I declare him such. Order, order." Before the result of the vote was announced on Mr. Sage's motion, Mr. Hunt wished lo say a word personal to his feelings. The. Speaker aski-d whether it was the unani mous wish of the House. Mr. Craige. I object on the same ground as I took before. Mr. Hunt. If the gentleman from North Car olina stigmatizes me as a factionist, he speaks a falsehood. QLoud exclamations of order and great excitement.J Mr. Craige. 1 will exercise my right and will call the gentleman to order as soon as I would any body else. Mr. Hunt. If the gentleman says I am a fac tionist, he speaks what is false before God and the country. During the colloquy, there were deafening cries of " Order, order." The Speaker banged with his hammer, calling on the Sergeanl-at-Arms to interfere to preserve order. Mr. Bayly, of Virginia, demanded the arrest of the parlies. Tuesday, May 16th. House. Immediately after coming together to day the House went into a Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, (Mr. Olds in the chair,) when Mr. Hunt asked leave to make a per sonal explanation, and said that lhe report of his remarks yesterday in the Globe of this morning was wrong; that found in the other papers being correct. Mr. Craige, also rising to make a persanal ex planation, said that, conceiving that Mr. H. had reference to tho report of what had passed between himself and that gentleman on that occasion, he had only lo reply that the Globe's report of hit remarks was substantially corn et. Mr. Hunt, again rising, said : 1 branded the gentleman's statement yesterday. That brand still hisses. Mr. Craige. You cannot stiut into a scrape, and sneak out of it in that way. Here oommotion arose io tjie hall, and these gentlemen look their seats. Mr. Maxwell, who was eniitled lo the floor ik. addressed the House at lengih in favor of i.c braska bill, the subject which had been lakco for consideration on going into committee. We rpgret that a difficulty of a personal nm should have taken place between Rpresenut of the same sections of the Union, growing' of a question upon which lhe whole South have presented a united front. Mr. Craig has already established a repui of a high minded, chivalrous gentleman, ol honesty of purpose and devotion lo the interest, ot his peculiar section, and in his zeal to mamtig its rights and advance its interests, we regret ik he should have involved himself in an unplcaj1 dispute. We were greatly pleased to learn fr recent despatches from Washington, that theaff has been honorably arrunged to the satisfacti, of the friends of the parties, without the barbaro resort to " coffee and pistols." This will begrw. ifying to Mr, Craige's numerous friends. OCT The Rev. Eubert H.
