MISCELLANEO US. ^FKQM THE SAVANNAH GEORGIAN.^ Blackwood, for October. We are indebted to Colonel-Williams, a (rent for Blackwood's Magazine for Octo ber No. Every number of this world-renown ed publication has one or more articles of capital excellence*, nor is the issue before us an exception. The charming story of "Katie Stewart,” vs continued. Corneille cnl Ska,/ e pear,” "English Boa ing, Jef fry, part 11,” "My Novel,” and the "Death of the Duke of Wellington,” are some of the other papers which go to make up its rich table of contents. The article "Are there not Great Boasters among us 1” tells John Bull many plain and some startling truths in relation to his much lauded moral ity. It commences in this wise: “It-is-Trite enough to say “How little do we know ourselvesand because trite, the chances are it is quite true. We are con-. tiuuaUy raising a laugh against the Ameri cans, because they are given to swagger a little too much, whilst we industriously for- from what quarter their inheritance the longest lived, and most just of men, and your getting so little of the genuine, may have something to do with a few things not quite on the side of honesty in your doings, well, I assert this imaginary milk is a man ufacture altogether which slanders the cow, made up of horse brains, collected from knackers, or at best chalk and lime-water. You have been laboring under bronchitis: your physician has ordered you a mustard plaster—it was a caput mortuum ou vour chest—it would not rise. . Shop after shop did you send to; they had all of them, they insisted upon it, the genuine article; yet it did not rise. The Durham mustard, like a certain Durham letter, was a mere sham; you found it all tumeric, with something more deleterious. You were obliged to give up vour tea, it was so scarce to be had -; you took to coffee, as you thought, butyou consumed chicory. If you do not look a little into these things, it will be the worse for you. You know you begin to feel your constitution giving way—to be in.quite a ticklish condition. You may fall sick— your medicine will be poison; . Ten to one but you may die for the lack of the remedy, or for taking it; and should it so happen that you die, it is very true you will not have to make a wry face at your underta ker’s bill. You will lie quietly under the items, but you will not lie so long ; for the copper nails in your coffin will be nothing but tin lacquered with copper solution, to facilitate your dissolution. * * * “The English merchant and English tradesman were once great names. They write them so now, when there is anything to be obtained by the. reputation. Every wall is posted with advertisements, solely that the sham should draw on attention from facts. We are so accustomed to hear a mere boast given out as truth, that, if we do not actually take the imposture for the reality, we dismiss Virtue with a laugh; we never give her a warm support, “lauda- tur et alget.” We have caught the trick from our immediate'neighbors, and shrug the shoulder—admit, if not pay duty, to the supremacy of humbug. All this are the very best Christians in the world, too many of us doing not “not as we would” be, but as w.e are “done by.” We com pass heaven and earth to make proselytes not only to our religion, but to our morals and opinions, although strange inconsisten cy^ we have not entirely settled any of them; nor are we able to give a very co herent account of ourselves in any of these particulars. Bullet me not be foolhardy enough to take upon me to count the num ber of the sands. Yet I will say, that if our missionaries think it their business to incul cate the maxims of British morals—if they be worth exhorting, they must be taken from some unknown depository. I will not subscribe my guinea until I am better in formed. Hitherto, the fact has been forced upon thinking people, that both our moral and religious exports have been a very du bious character.” doe 8 Artesian Wells. To have Artesian wells there are certain conditions requisite. It is necessary to find a .pervious .waterbearing strata impervious to water, such as gravel, between two strata impervious to water, such as elay; and in order that the water shall rise to the surface, the percolation of the water through the pervious strata must descend from a point higher than the surface at the point of bo ring. The strata must dip, in an iuclined plane, from such a height that the water will come up to find its level. The distance more or Less is not material, so the water is continued between impervious strata at the place where the-orifice is made. We liave before us two charts, showing a geological section of the different strata through which Artesian wells have been bored, and exhibiting the principles upon which the water-bearing strata rise and crop out on the surface at a distance^ from the point of boring and far above , the level. One is a section of the Paris basin. The order-of the strata are; 1. The tertiary for mations; 2. Chalk; 3. Green sand aud clav; 4. Oolite and jura limestone. The strata from which the water is derived are the al ternating beds of green sand and clay,. and the chart traces them out to where they rise to the surface. The other chart is a geo logical section of the strata in Alabama where Artesian wells have been sunk, and get comes.

We observed in one of the New-York pa pers of the 21st inst., under the caption of 4 ‘Important from Washington,” a letter from Washington to the Editors, of which the following k an extract: “I hear it stated to-day, from such a source as seems correct, that Mr. John P. Kennedy, the Secretary of the Navy, has -ordered Oapt. Porter, of the Crescent City, to repair to Washington to give an account to the Government of his recent transac tions at Havana. The President aud Cabi net have had the matter under consideration at the request of Mr. Calderon de la Barca, and it is - surmised that our Government bus disapproved the conduetof Capt. Porter, and will withdraw him from the Creseent City, and order him to sea immediately.” We have taken some pains to inform our selves correctly on this subject, and have leamedfrom an authentic source that the letter, in all its material statements, is a tis sue of misrepresentations. •It is true that the Secretary of the Navy has-ordered Lieut. Porter to repair to Wash ington ; but this was done, not at the re quest of the Spanish Minister, but from his own sense of what was proper under the circumstances of the case. Complaints have been made from various. quar:ers of the con- pervious water stratum, prevented from de scending by an impervious bed of clay, and from rising to the surface by limestone and clay. The porous-bed is traced to an ele vation which would produce a pressure ou the lower part of the stratum sufficient, if perforated' there, to force a stream up to the surface. These are the simple elements of the Artesian force, and there is no reason to doubt that water can be found in almost ev ery place if the bore camdesend deep enough, although iu many places the depth required is enormous The scientific geologists is the best judge from the circumstances of ..any , . j particular iocation whether it is likely to.re^^Vl, ; .Inhibit the same Mb* the “Cresceut City,” and it was therefore deemed advisable to ascertain from Lieut.

Of the results of experiments made in Alabama there have been some details pub lished; and we believe Professor Tuomey, of the University at Tuscaloosa, has published a careful report upon the subject, but it is not within our reach. We have been ena bled, however, from other sources, to give the following details: The Dallas (Ala.) Gazette savs that the first Artesian well of Mr. J. E. MatheWs, in Cahawba, is completed. It is-735 feet deep, and sends forth a stream of water- measured at 1,200 gallons per minute. The famous French well at Grenoble, it is said, does not discharge more than half this "quantity*. The water, says the Gazette, boils up, roaring like a cataract, forming a branch of consid erable size, and the low grounds, some two hundred yards distant, Tequire ditching to. carry off the immense quantity of water col lected upon its surface. Mr. Reid, the suc cessful borer of this well, has commenced boring another, some sixty feet distant, which will be some 1,5DO or 2,000 feet deep. To prevent injury to the first, it is necessa- is ffuc to the national honor, so re make his national boasting, ed leniently if l venture—thus. There is not a more absurdly boastful people on the face of the earth than we, the “Great Eng lish Nation.” We boast of everything be longing to us, If there be a difference be tween us and our transatlantic brethren, it is in this, that as their boasting takes its character from democratic institutions, out boasting is characterized by a dash of aris tocratic delicacy.

We boast of a prosperity from whieh millions are running away; of a Representa tive system, which represents not much or the sense, but a very large proportion of the nonsense of the people; of npubltc mor ality, at which every man individually laughs, in his sleeve—to which so many elections are giving the lie, by a total disre gard to the morals of-their parliamentary candidates.” Examination in Anatomy—“How man differ from the brute creation ?” “He stands upright, but he doesn’t act so.

However m uch the present administration is committed against the revolutionary movement against Cuban authority, in which it must be adfnkted that a portion of our citizens have been involved, no views which it might entertain of the past or pre sent movement against the Spanish author ity in that Island, would justify it in an ut ter abandonment of the treaty rights of-our people and the honor of- our flag. In the present aspect ofthe cate, with all the infor mation we have in relation to the matter, the exclusion of the Crescent City, while in the service of the U. S. Government, can be viewed only as a most flagrant violation of the comity of nations and an insolent affront to our people.

It is now 530 feet deep, and discharges 200 gallons of water per min ute. A correspondent of the Gazette gives the following in relation to the first well of. Mr. Mathews, which was bored for the pur pose of obtaining sufficient water to supply a steam cotton mill. First, a well was dug in the ordinary wav, 32 feet through the red clay sand and grav el lying upon the rotten limestone. A large pine log was then procured, and a hole 3 1-4 inches in diameter bored through it. After sharpening the end and putting an iron band around it, the log was put down and firmly driven and forced into the rock. The well was then filled up, the upper end of the log appearing about a foot above the sur face. The boring then commenced, and with the various tools and eontrivances of the art, the earth was rapidly penetrated. As each lower sheet of water was reached by the tools, the water was thrown up by the whole in great qantities and .with more vio lence.- When the first water, that is, the water just below the first sand stone, was reached; the upward flow of water did not exceed seven gallons per minute. It was increased to one hundred gallons per min ute, when the second sand, stone was per forated, and on reaebiug the third sheet of water upwards of 300 gallons per minute rushed up through the orifice -seemingly impatient of its limits. Thinking that the quantity of water would be increased by enlarging the hole, they rimmed out 9 1-4 inches in diameter and 538 feet deep to the sand stone lying above this third bed of wa ter, andiuserted a tube-frona the firsthand resting upon the third sand> stone. They were not disappointed; the water from a small stream became a largo column, rush ing upwards with violence at the rate of 1,300 gallons per minute, and running off in a considerable rivulet.—-N. possible, or you will be jng L ■ - -■ ‘ 1U5 '‘ innocence of all in- James protested his" ten tions of larcency, buV ; nptJnng more was said about “taking anything of our commercial liberty. If Mr. Smith is dangerous to the peace of the island, if his republican sympathies are likely to breed a political pestilence among the “ever faithful,’ contented and happy subjects of the Spanish crown, they haye. the right on good and sufficient grounds .to arrest him and make him amenable to their laws whenever he places his foot within their jurisdiction.— This they would have a right to do; but a government that gave just and full protec tion to its citizens would require ample proof of his guilt or fearful reparation for his wrong. There, might be circumstances to justify them in such a proceeding. But we have yet to be convinced that any nation has a right to establish a political quarantine and to exclude our ships from their ports because a few decided cases of republican ism a>-e known to be on board. It may be urged that Mr. Smith had rendered himself obnoxious to the Cuban authorities. Grant that he had. Still this fact did not justify nor render neccessary the exclusion of the Crescent City. Mr. Smith could have been taken care of without such' exclusion, which was adopted in a spirit of insolent defiance. We say, therefore, that the insult to our flag should be viewed-as entirely disconnec ted with Mr. Smith or any ofthe alleged an noyances and provocations experienced by the Spanish authorities; It was a wanton and unjustifiable outrage, which no high toned and sensiti ve government would tol erate, and which-our own government can not submit to and preserve its honor and dignity.

While you successfully rebut the opin ions which suggest themselves, as to an in adequate supply of labour, you have not, however, alluded to this question which naturally arises on a leview of the subject; What are the prospects of a supply of the raw material to meet this rapidly increas ing consuming power ? You are. well a- ware that the American Cotton season of 1.851-52 has just closed, the total growth being 3,000,000 bales, and that such a crop is without precedent in the history of the cotton trade, being about 600,000 bales in excess ofthe previous season. The cau ses which have assisted to produce such a crop are well known to those acquainted with the cotton growth ; they are chiefly to be attributed to an almost uninterrupted season of fine weather, and the ability to pick cotton up to a longer period than ever known as the result. • It might be assumed that such a supply would at least leave us in the Liverpool market a stock in excess of the correspon ding period of 1851, but such has been the enormous consumption of 1852 that, allow ing for some ; probable excess of raw cotton in the hands of manufacturers, our total stock this day is below that of the same date of Fgst year. Looking at the gigantic interests involv ed, the importance of an adequate supply and the welfare of tlie masses dependant on the cotton manufacture, we may well look with deep anxiety to every report which ar rives from America as to the position and prospects of the growing crop, nt a mo ment, too, when the critical stage of the plant lenders it so susceptible of injury from jfains or any contingencies of fjposts or wormsiv ' In tracing the, cause of our rapidly di minishing stocks both of cotton aqd manu factured goods, we can only arrive at one conclusion, “the cheap loaf has done it all,” for it is clear that to the increased ability of the laboring and industrial classes to pur chase better clothing, and more of it, and not to any large increase ol exports, must be attributed the facts. I have mentioned. Well might it be it be for the prosperity of our great inauufrcture could we anticipate another growth of three millions of bales in America this season; few, however san guine, now expects such a yield. When prices are forced up by, the expectations of short supplies much k said about fostering the growth of cotton in Africa, Australia and India; the subject was never more mo mentous that at this hour.- W hat has' been done in carrying out these theories, with a view of rendering us as a nation more inde pendent in some small degree of the Amer ican planters 1 The signs of the times foreshadow the growing importance of this subject, and my object will have been accomplished should you allow the question to be brought home in quarters from which some practical re sults may be anticipated.
