Valdosta, Ga., Sept. 27, 1852.
Gentlemen:—I am now seventy-two years
old, and for the last twenty or thirty years,
if the Presidency had been offered sponta
neously by the people of th^United States,
I would not have accepted it, because of my
physical disqualification to execute the du
ties of that office. At no period within that
time, could 1, as an honest man, have done
so. Not many years ago the State Rights
party of Georgia were pleased to make that
nomination, and my acquiescence was placed
on footing that the acceptance would fulfil
the object of the demand, viz: that other
wise, that party, which had very strong
claims on me, as a native and citizen of
Georgia, and could not conscientiously vote
for any other candidate who had a fair pros
pect of success—were at liberty to vote for
me, while other persons had none. It was
the partiality of friendship which suggested
a similar movement on the part of distin
guished citizens of South-Carolina on anoth
er occasion, and which I discountenanced
for similar reasons.
Your decided nomination on the present
occasion, leaves me no alternative but to
submit myself cheerfully to the will of the
States’ Rights Convention of Alabama, re
cently assembled at Montgomery, in that
State, but for the sole purpose of organizing
that party. It, as well as the States’ Rights
Party of any portion of the United States,

Robbery and Arrest of Robbers
The Macon (Ga.) Citizen of the 16th ins.
says: “On Tuesday night last the dwell
ing of ah old gentleman of the name of
Jackson, living in Monroe Co., near the
county line of Pike, was entered by five
robbers, who after having secured Jackson
and .his wife, proceeded to search the house
for money, which they soon obtained to
the amount of near f$7000 in silver, with
which they decamped. Mr. Jackson im
mediately offered a reward of $2000 for
the recovery of the money, and 500 for
proof to convict, when active pursuit was
made by the citizens of Barnesville and vi
cinity, which we are happy to learn has
proved partially successful. The pursuing
party came up with two or three of the
robbers near Newnan, Coweta Co. and cap
tured them. On being searched, over
$1600 of Jackson’s money was found upon
them and a full assortment of house and
lock breaking implements, weapons, &c, ta
ken from their saddle-bags. The prisoners
were brought down the Railroad on Thurs
day and committed, and it is said that one
of them is no less a personage than Dr.
Roberts, the notorious robber who was con
victed in Hancock Co., a few years ago, and
sent to the Penitentiary for similar offences.
It will be recollected by many that Dr.
Roberts was arrested in Henry Co. Ala.,
opposite Fort Gaines, Ga.; and that his co
partner in iniquity was then and there kill
ed i n his attempt to escape. He is doubt
less a consnmate scoundrel that ought nev
The Cuban Outrage.
We are gratified to see that the press of
the Northern States, with few exceptions, is
taking a bold and decided position upon the
Cuban question. The outrage committed
upon the officers of the Crescent City and
the bark Cornelia have aroused the indig
nation of all men pf spirit in the country,
and will no doubt, prompt the Government
to some decided action. The New York
Courier <k Enquirer alluding to the affair
of the Cornelia says:
“The insult was of the grossest character
and entirely unprovoked and there cannot
be the slightest doubt, that combined with
the desire to obtain possession of the letters
entrusted to Mr. Guzman, was a deliberate
intent to offer an indignity to an American
citizen and* the American flag. There can
also be no doubt that our Government will
take prompt and efficient measures for the
exaction of satisfactory explanation or a-
mends for this insult, as well" as that offered
to the Crescent City. But the report that
the steam frigate Mississippi has been order
ed to Havana upon this business, must be
altogether without foundation ; for no au
thentic account of either affair can yet have
been laid before the President, much less
can war steamer have been ordered to be in
readiness to bear beligerent message to the
Spanish Viceroy. That an explanation will
be imperitively demanded may be regarded
as certain ; and if proper reparation be not
made, and similar conduct be persisted in,
it is quite probable that Spain may have
heavier business upon her hands than the
suppression of fillibusteros. The Govern
ment has acted with unimpeachable good
faith towards Spain during all these trou
bles, and if her little majesty Issabella II.,
er to have been pardoned out of the Peni- Q- D. G., be weary of the care of her “ever
tentiary by Gov. Towns. loyal Island,” she can contrive no surer or
speedier method of ridding herself of it, than

his system the rain-water rushes off into the
creeks and rivers with it, while by the oth
er it is received into the bosom of the earth
and brought in contact with the lime and
many other constituencies of the soil for
which it has affinity and is there garnered
up to be brought to life and activity by the
warmth of spring. If the soil has nothing
in it to fix the ammonia, it would be ‘volati
lized with the vaper of water,’ as well as
carried to the regions below with the water,
and this would be the case whether the
land is plowed or not. But there are other ]
and more substantial reasons for this prac
tice, some of which have the united sanc
tion of Agriculrurists for ages past. The
grass and weeds on our stubble and fallow
fields, contain many of tbe elements of a
fertile soil Let them be turned in in Sep
tember or October and if possible before the
seed mature ; you store away a supply of
nutriment for your next crop, at the same
time protect it to some extent from grass
and weeds. What would be gained by wait
ing till February, when every seed will have
matured and fallen, (ready to start even
v/ith your corn or cotton,) and every green
stalk shall have heen killed by the frost.—
Every analysis of similar substances sup
port the conclusion that they have parted
with nearly all their virtues, when they ar
rive at this condition. They will not fatten
stock, support animal life, or promote the
growth of bone or muscle. The most of
their substance has been concentrated in the
seed, and the plants have exhausted them
selves in perfecting the seed, as is the case
with nearly all annual plants. They should
be incorporated with the soil late in tbe falb
but while they are in full vigor and before
the seed are sufficiently matured to germin
ate. The ground is then in a condition to
be planted, and it is in order, chemically
and mechanically, to promote the growth
of that crop. “Ibe nutriment of voung
plants consists of carbonic acid, contained
in the soil in the form of humus, and ni
trogen in the form of ammonia, both of
which must be supported to the plants if
the desired purpose is to be accomplished.
Ihe formation of ammonia cannot be effect
ed on cultivated land, but humus may be
artificially produced.
The sowing of a field with fallow plants
such as clover, rye, buck-wheat, &c., and the
incorporation of plants when nearly at
blosom with tbe soil aflfect this supply of
humus. 4 ’—Leibig
Underour system of Agriculture, weal-
ways have the ground set with the seeds of
our native fallow plants, and are therefore
not at the trouble of sowing them. For

Frost—The Savannah Republican of

there must have been one, as the weather
was cool enough. So it was here, but we

the election of Gen. Scott.
The cold rain-water of winter has the least
capacity for receiving any elements into its
constituency, until, in its descent into the
earth, it becomes warmer in a region far be
low the reach of the plow or the roots of
plants. Again, if plowed stubble or fallow
land will receive five times as much water
as the sarae land unplowed, does it neeessa
rily follow that the same proportion of wa
ter passes through the sub-soil ?
These are inquiries that his reasoning
suggests.
But it is established that rain-water re
ceives from the atmosphere some of the
chief elements of a productive soil. The

by 8 to 10,000 majority, and of Hopkins
(Dem.) Canal Commissioner, but by a
smaller majority. “The vote in the various
counties is very small-—there being a large
falling off in both the Democratic and Whig
vote the largest loss being to the Whigs.”

city and county of Philadelphia, is elected.
