Below will be found the letter of accep tance of,Gov. Troup. It is addressed to Messrs. Thos, Williams, J. A. Elmore, Ga briel B. Duval, of Montgomery, Ala., and will be read with much interest by hundreds of citizens of Georgia and adjacent States: 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, SANDEBSVILLE, GEORGIA- TUESDAY OC-T. 19, ;i85a.

They are the only principles worth anything to the Southern country; as long as a party of two or three can be gath ered togetberfor such purpose, the contri bution of my name is the least I could think of making, at least for the purpose of mere ly organizing that party, but for that pur pose only. r J he increasing pressure of disease fore warns me that but a short breathing speli remains, and I hasten to my conclusion. Dwould vote for Pierce and King. Mr. King is a most excellent man, and I have not expected ever to he able to vote for a Northern man so pure and disinterested as Mr. Pierce, and you may never have such another opportunity. But you may use my name as long as you please for organizing the States’ Rights Party, and maintaining and consecrating its principles. FOR VICE PRESIDENT. Charles J. Jenkins, of Georgia.

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.

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.

We tender to both gentjemen our best wishes for their success and prosperi ty. Col. Grieve having recently been ap pointed by the President Charge’ to Den mark, and will probably leave this country in a short while for his post. when he left his residence the Governor was able to sit up and would probably be out in a few days. Frost—The Savannah Republican of Saturday says that it is a mooted point in that city, whether or not there was a frost the morning previous, and concludes that there must have been one, as the weather was cool enough. So it was here, but we hav’nt seen the man that saw the frost. The Savannah Evening Journal has been considerably enlarged. The Journal is a lively and interesting sheet, aud we are happy to learn that it is meeting with success. The -daily is furnished at the low price of $4 per annum. Mr. Clinginan, a Whig member of Congress from North Carolina, has written 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.
