A large audience assembled at the Court House or Tuesdaynight to hear a speech Crom Capt. Cutter, upon questions pertaining to tho Presidential election. The speech was an admirable one, high toned, able, intellectual, and effective. The manner of the speaker was well calculated to please while his argument was convincing, his animadversions upon the course and policy of the Democratic party were forcible, yet with a polish and elevation of sentiment that the most inveterate opponent had no just grounds for taking offence. His remarks upon the passing away of power, from the many to the few, as illustrated by Conventions, but particularly by Democratic Conventions for not nominating candidates for high stations, who were the choiceofthe people, were well received and created a strong impression.

His comments upon the imposition that has been practiced upon the Democratic party by its Conventions forcing upon the party men who were not its choice, but receiving quiet submission thereto, were striking, and drew approbation from all sides.— His reading of the life of Gen. Pierce was unexceptionable, producing much merriment by his style, and the ridiculous character of the history of Pierce, which has been put forth by his friends to influence the minds of the American people in his favor for tire gieat office of President of the United States. Altogether the speech of Capt. Cutter was a brilliant and a happy one, and we hope to hear him again before the canvass is over.

We havo once before called on the editor of the Terre Haute Courier to give us the names of ten Democrats in Vigo county who will vote for Scott, but he has failed to rospond. Wo again repeat the call. Give us the names.—State Sntinel.

Tho Sentinel has never before called upon us to give the names of ten Democrats in this couuty who will vote for Scott, We have never said that we eould give the names of that number. With as much propriety we might call upon the Sentinel to give us tho names of ten Whigs in Marion county, who will vote for Pierce. We have said that there is an old man with several sons, in this county, who have hitherto voted for Democratic candidates, who intend to vote for Scott. Such Is the fact. We have it from the Hps of the old man himself. Only a few days ago he repeated this determl nation to us. He voted for Cass in 1848,but with his sons is going for Scott. We have no objection to giving the names if the par, ties consent. You would like to have the names so that Locofocos can try to worry him out of hit Intention. If it will be any "aid and comfort" to you, we can tell you what the old man teHs us, that Locofocw have been after him already, but he saya it is no use, they are only fooling away their time, that when election day comes round, if he and hie boys are living, and are able to get to the polls, Gen. Wirtjkld Scott, (do you know him?) will get all their votes

We are indebted to Captain Cutter for one of the richest IrOoks wo ever read. We mean the life of Gen. Frmtkl Pierce, now for sale at the book stores in this place. We Had seen the book a number of times, but never thought of examining it, till we heard the reading of it by Captain Cutter. We made up our wind at onoe to have a copy and as it js Intended moro for Whigs than any body else, we adviae every Whig to give a quarter for this invaluable work. A dollar will not buy our copy. Though it is not so large as the life of Gen, Scott, it con tains some of the spiciest things thut the human brain is capablo of conceiving. We have put it on our desk along dido of the life of Gen. Scotti and sometimes when we are in a contemplative mood, and look at these books we wonder why they should write a great big book of fixt humlrqi ami thirty-six pages about Scott, when a work making Pierce the greatest man, giving as it says a "full and minute account of the life of the New Hampshire statesman," including a sketch of the life of Mr. King—the Democratic pbtforui—a biographical sketch of Governor Benjamin Pierce the father of General Franklin Pierce,—the return of Gen. Piorce from the Mexican war—his reception andspeech—the reception of Gen, Pierce's nomination at home enthusiastic'demonstrations in New HafapsMre—the ringing of bells and the firing of 283 guns all contained in ninety-six pages. We have to come to the conclusion that Scott must be an extraordinary man, that hi.s deeds in behalf of his country require a big book to record them. Our conclusions about the other man, we won't say.

So strong is the feeling among the people that a man who has served his country like Geu. Scott has, should be elected to an office his countrymen have called upon him to fill, it is not surprising that many who are opposed to him in politics should be warm

The Crops.—The accounts received from all parts of the Union, concur in the opinion that the wheat and corn crops will be

by far the largest ever garnered. The accounts in relation to the corn crop are particularly flattering, and in many States where there has been very little corn planted in former seasons,the yield will be very great

Washington, Aug. 5,1862.

A. Il.Chappell, ISsq.. Macon, Ga.s Siu: 1 have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 31st ultimo, enclosing copy of resolutions adopted by the Constitutional Union party of Georgia in their recent Convention, expressing their npprobation of my oourso in reference to the great questions on which the UnioH party of Georgia was organized, and inviting mo to visit that State. 1 am happy of tho opportunity to assure you, sir, that this unexpected expression of npptpbntion from iq distinguished and disinterested source could not fail to elicit the grateful emotions of my heart, and I avail myself of the occasion to tender to the members of that Convention my sin cere thanks. ir

That the Union party of your State rondered most important service to the country at a most critical juncture in our public affairs, none can justly deny. I can never forget tho anxious solicitude with which I watched its progress in 1850. and the relief which I felt when 1 saw in its triumph, that it had given the death blow to the treasonable doctrine of secession, wd had reared an insurmountable barrier to the spread of that dengerous heresy. But the necessity for such a party is deeply to be regretted, and I shall be happy to learn that it no longer* exists. 1 have long intended to visit the South but cNcumstnnces beyond my control have hitherto prevented me. 1 now hope to enjoy that pleasure soon after retiring from public life and if anything could add to the inducements to do so, it would be the nordiul invitation thus extended from the "Empire State of the South." The time, however, is yet quite uncertain, but when it shall arrive, I hope to have the satisfaction of meeting many of those kind friends who have so generously given me their confidence and esteem in advance.-^ 1 am your obedient servant, iMILLARD FILLMORE.

From the Baltimore American. The Prospect in Maryland. From all parts of our State accounts concur in representing tne Whigs as united, ifnd determined to achieve in November next stlch a victory a^ will settle decisively the question whether Or not Maryland i3 a Whig State, and redeem her es-

cutcneon from the stain inflicted on it by the trl1 Uiitph df our opponents in the late Stdte elections. The Washington Telegraph publishes some extracts from the letter of a leading Whig at our city, which truly represent the feeling prevailing throughout ths State. The writer says: "I have in my possession six letters from as manv delegates to the Whig Convention representing this State. These letters are all carefully written, embodying the whole subject, affording the very latest ana best information that could be desired. They all concur in representing the case to be this—next November the whole Whig vote will lie polled, and that is all we need to carry the State. In St. Mary's county, John Key and Thomas D. Morgan, both Democrats of standing and decided influence, have within the past week come out for Scott and Graham. This is a strong and significant fact. "In Baltimore city the idea with us is that Pierce cannot get over twelve hundred majority, and that we snail get the State by at least two thousand majori y. All of our most influential Whigs—1'earce, i'ratt, Clark, Roman, Walsh, General Chapman, Pitts, Rcverdy Johnson, &c., &c., will stump the State, from one end to the other and there can be uo possible doubt as to tbe result. "If time would permit, I could permit, I could satisfy you more fully as to thesubject, by giving you other facts in ray possession. But suffice it to say that Maryland is as sure to cast her vote for Scott and Graham as that she has always heretofore—for Harrison, Clay, and Taylor. No State in the Union, except Vermont, is more sure for us than Maryland." fr -4-J

OnR German Citizens.—There are valid grounds for believing that General Scott will receive a much larger porportion of tho German vole than has been obtained by ar.y former Whig candidate. A strong feeling in his favor runs through this portion of our adopted citizens in every part of the country and the manifestations that have been made both in the cities and on the prairies warrant the expectation that the feeling will become yet stronger before November. In many wards of New York, German Whig clubs have been organized, for first time in the history of Presidential campaigns and the example is being extensivly followed elsewhere, There are now two dally Gorman Whig papers, the Ailgemelnc Zeit* ung in New York, and the Deutsche Rcpubiikatter in Cincinnati weekly papers of the same character have been started in other States* and we have at least one instance—the Cleveland (O.,)

THE POTATO ROT IN IRELAND.—The

latest accounts from Ireland in regard to the much dreaded potato blight, are generally of an unfavorable tendency. Still it is hoped that, as last year, the loss will be but partial. A Dublin pa per of a late date has the following hopeful paragraph on the subject: "A good deal of anxiety is manifested about the condition of this important crop. We have given as careful consideration as we could to the accounts received from various quarters of the country, and have examined personally, within the last few days, many fields in in this and adjoining counties, and the conclusion arrived at is, that although the disease is undoubtedly present, it is not so in such a degree as to cause great alarm. An immense extent of the crop has been planted in Ireland this season, much greater than for many seasons past and from all that can be learned and allowing for the natural tendency to alarm, it would seem that the riot [sic] is not so wide spread, nor so bad where it does appear as formerly."

Meanwhile, the bare prospect of the failure of potato crops has given a fresh

impetus to the emigration mania. The people appear bent on leaving the coun try as fast as they can.

Scott in Hopkins's

Alabama—J udge Opinion.

The Selma (Ala.) Reporter publishes a strong and eloquent letter, from Judge A. F. Hopkins, in favor of the Whig nominations, in the course of which he holds the following language in reference to General Scott: "Of all our generals since the Revolution, he has the largest stofckof intelligence. He has evinced greater tact and ability in negotiation and the management of affairs merely civil. In proof of this statement I need refer only to his conduct in preserving the peace of his country whan ii was threatened both by the main boundary questiop and the disire of many of our northren citizens to act the part of Canadian patriots. His conduct in the removal of the Cherokees was distinguished by great prudence as well as kindness to that tribe of Indians. He has long been a leader, and from the force of habit as well as from the strength of his will must bo one on any theatre where he may be called to act. There is, I think, no reasonable ground to apprehend that any supporters of the nomination would have any improper influence over him as President of the United States. His patriotism and integrity are unimpeach able I think he would be a safer depository of the Executive power than any Democrat in tho I a fed.- -U uJ» lits* administration we would have no wars caused by the Kossuth doctrine of intervention, and none for the purpose of closing the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean sea against European nations.—

He is, and has invariably been, a Whig our party existed. He stands now upon the unexceptionable Whig platform, and we have the security of his untarnished honor that he will do all he can to maintain and carry our principles into effect. All Whigs, it seems to me, must prefer him to General Pierce, whose merit is a mystery. The nomination of Mr. Graham ought to give our party perfect satisfaction. He is an able man, a patriot, and a statesman.'

Commonsings on Judge Hopkins letter, the Montgomery Journal remarks: "li is cheering to observe that the true, long tried, leading Whigs of the State have no hesitancy on this subject, but cordially and enthusiastically* as of yore, rallying in the cause of their principles and their gallant veteran leader. Under the lead of such Whigs as Hopkins* Murphy, Davis, Hilliard, Waus, Chintoa, lacLemore, Moss, Judge, and others, the party will not fail to do its duty."
