On the bottom and low lands the crops are totally ruined. Cotton presses are gorag up in Huron and Jackson conn- j ties, and gins are running in every neigh borhood. Gov. Brahlettb, of Kentucky, has do dined being a candidate for the United States Senate. He says he consented to serve as Governor at the sacrifice of his own desires and private interests in the hope that he might subserve those of the country.

I The question of the supply of corn, and the large demand for purposes of distilla- tion, is becoming one of importance to the Government.

The additional tax recom- mended by the Department on high wines has largely increased distilling and the de- mand for grain.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING, There will be held this evening at the Democratic headquarters, cornerot Smith field and Fifth streets, a meeting to take action relative to our approaching .city election. TIIE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. President Lincoln’s late message does net appear to entirely please any one ; it iB as remarkable for what it does not say as for its absurd reoommendationa. It makes no allusion to our relations with Mexico —a question that before long is to j overshadow all others in onr foreign rela- j tions. He says nothing abont our lately threatened imbroglio with Great Britian or France, and, most remarkable of all, he has not a word about the military oper ations of the year, their present situation uor their prospective accomplishments; and the same is true relative to the navy. He does not mention a General nor a sol dier, what they have done nor what they have failed to do —not a word for the cap torß of Vicksburg or Port Hudson, not a word for those who stood up and fought and won at Gettysburg or Chattanooga— noi a word tor those who are wasting away their lives before Charleston —not a word about Grant, or Meadr, or Banes, or Gilmore, or Dcpoxt, or Fabragut, or Dahlgreh. The inevitable negro and how to secure his freedom, together with re ducing the Southern States to the condi tion of conqeared provinces are the great questions of the message. As an evi deuce of how this plan for the restora tion of the Union takes even in the Border States, we select the following from the Louisville Journal. That paper remarks: If our readers would contrast with thiß plan in all its forma the simple plan of the Constitution, lot them turn to the inaugu ml BUdreas of Governor Bramlktte. ‘No reconstruction* Bays the Governor in that noble paper, ‘is necessary .’ The Govern ment is complete— not broken —not de stroyed : bnt, by the blessings of God, shall endure forever. A revolted State has nothing, therefo re, to do but to cease resistance to law and duty, and return to its fealty, organize under its Constitution, as it wa3 before, and would be now but for tbc revolt, ana thus place itself in harmony with the Federal Government. Thus, all that was suspended byro’volt will be restored to action. Bat will not the dominant powers require terms other than these? Will they not require the revolted States, as a condition precedent to a res toration of their relation, to adopt either immediate or gradual emancipation? These are grave questions and suggestive of a dangerous and wicked experiment. We trust to plighted word and constitu tional faith as guaranty against such an issno. Nothing but disregard of honorand the principles of humanity can force such an issue, and we will not invite sd evil by battling it into being. Little that, ere the sands of the year already waning should run out, this issue would be forced deliberately by the President. Yet such is ihc fact. The fact should awaken the loyal people of the Union. it most now be apparent to the friends of the Government everywhere, that they have nothing to expect from the party in power or from any member of it. The last ground of hope, or rather the last shadow of ground, has vanished. The rugged issue is before 03. There is, 'under Providence, hot one defence for the con servative unionists of the Republic, which is through co-operation, cn the basis of single-minded devotion to the country, tor the overthrow and expulsion of the party in power at the ballot box. This is indeed the sole dependence of the Repub lic itself; and we rejoice to believe, that, if wisdom and natriotism shall rule the Conservative counsels, this dependence will not fail. Never 3nrely in the worlds history were wisdom and patriotism in voked by considerations more glorious or more momentous. A FELLOW OF IHTFINITE JEST I We were aware that there wers several I “gifted minds*’ engagaed in illuminating I the columns of the Pittsburgh Commer \cial: but not until yesterday did we dis cern a delicate and fascinating flow of j humor, which, wo believe, has been from 1 its commencement, one of its chief char acterieiics. It may be that we have, be cause cf our devotion to onr neighbor s essays upon s ' Nepotism,’’ neglected the other rich departments of its luminous columns. In this way we have overlooked the facetious department of our versatile contemporary. We regret this, because we have, we thiuk, a tolerable appreciation of genuine humor; and apart from the richness of hir Jon.v Falstaff’s story about the desperate encounter he had, in KendJe green, with the imaginary “ men ;n Buckram,we know of nothing in the way of humor, more rich than one little article in yesterday’s Commercial. We select the following sentence a 6 a specimen of the whole ; it says • “The Commercial was established to supply a waut long felt in this community, that of a first-class, honest, commercial newspaper; and was not intended for, nor will it Do made, the organ of any man or of any clique.” There is richness for yon, as Sooeers said to the skim milk; bat we protest against our highly respectable and talent ed contemporary piling it on so thick. We are informed with the fact of its be ing ‘‘a first class paper,” bat as to its honesty, that would prove an intricate question for the Supreme Court to decide. Its not being the organ of the Mayor “or another man, ' is also, a nice point for the ecrntiiijfpf the same impartial tribu nal, Bat we Qmst not be captions; we are too touch gr&tifitd with our neighbor's humor to think of illiberal comment upon its claims to honesty—a word by the wav ! which Sir, Pektinax McSycopeant said he never heard mentioned, in Par liament bnt once, and then it was by a county member. The idea of persons who received their principal training in the Pennsylvania Legislature talking of honesty is entirely too rich and heavy at the handle, and none but a genuine and practiced wag would venture upon such broad, convulsive jolity. Politeness goes a good ways. Hejtey Wasp Beeches says “an impudent clerk can do as much , injury to his store as the neglect of the proprietor to advertise his goods.” Two undoubted and significant facts which every one interested will please bear in mind, j LATEST AJBWS FROM TJ9E SOUTH Lieutenant-Commander Williams and Ensig-ii Porter, of the United States Ultvy, in Irons-Morgan Safe in Iflx le—President Lincoln’s Message in the South The following extracts are from Rich mond papers, the dates extending from the 12th to the 16th instant : Hetaliaiion.

I.incotu'B Mes Mag-e. We this morning gratify the curiosity of our readers with the message of Abra ham Lincoln. Recovering but recently from an attack of the small pox, some excuse may be made for the message. It is bat another exhibition of his weakness and folly. Why his Cabinet will permit him to make such q iool of himself, ond render their country an object of con tempt and ridicule throughout theTworld, can only be accounted for on the suppo sition that it is the easiest way to get rid of him. They therefore permit him to have the freest and fullest use of his pen. To his proclamation cf amnesty ana re construction we especially invite the at tention of our readers, and when the “one tenth” are ready to succumb, we aak the privilege of announcing it to their Father Abraham. ■~Enq. y 14 th.

By many it is regarded as a strategic move to commence a new cam paign. Whatever may be the enemy's designs 1m wiii tiod his adversary on the watch and fully prepared.

Precautions against another “Ches apeake” affair. The .Government officials are doing their utmost to discover the haunts and the mode cfi'fe, while in New York, of the parties who seized the steamer Ches apeake, Thus far it has been a pursuit I of knowledge under difficulties, and yet enough has been discovered to justify the government keeping a sharp watch upon certain persons and places not only in that city {rat in Jersey ci:y and Brook lyn. With a view to placing all suspicions imrsoßß under a stricter surveilance, the Provost Marshals, all along the line of the Hudson River Railroad, and of all other j roads leading to and from Canada, have been notified to o! serve increased yig* | ilance, and in the event of anything trans piring to justify a reasonable suspicion, the facts are to be telegraphed to head* quarters iu New York without delay, to gether wita such a description of the party or parties suspected, as will enable the Government detectives to find them when wanted.
