nhe Editor of the Southern Planter L
Dear Sir,—An impression seems to pre
vail that those valuable grasses grown by th-
Northern farmers, will not succeed in Geor
gia ; from the few experiments which I hav.
made, I feel well assured, that it is an erro
neous idea, and that 'he upper and middle
regions of our state : ftb •! a soil and climate
as congenial to the rro tii of the differed
varieties of grass,: an portion of the Union.
I have a small lo of Egyptian grass upon
which my brood m. res and colts have winter-
cd. They were taken off the first of Marc!
it is now growing most luxuriantly, and in a
few weeks will do to cut, making an excel
lent hay: this grass is a perennial, and difficult
to destroy; as stock arc not very fond of it,
they dont ;;raze it so close as to prevent its
growth. But the most valuable article to
which we can direct our attention for the im
provement of our pastures, our land and our
.stock, is in my conception the red clover.—
h crows finely on our stiff mulattd land, and
might be make a profitable and certain crop,
i« sowed at the proper time. Our summers
are so long and hot, and frequently dry, that
unless vegetation of this description is well
rooted, it gets parched up, to guard against
this evil we should sow in autumn, say first
September, and before the warm weather sets
in it will have taken such deep root as not to
he effected in the slightest degree. I have the
red clover in my garden sufficiently tall for
cutting, and would no doubt afford the second
cutting by the first day of June. Nothing
upon which the cow feeds seems to produce
so great an influence upon the quality of the
milk and butter as clover, it imparts a rich
ness and flavor altogether superior to that ob
tained from cows that graze on poor sponta
neous herbs; and it is said that one acre well
cot with clover, will keep half a dozen milch
cows. I know of nothing that would yield so
great a profit. Should these crude sugges-
tioi s be deemed worth your care, give them
a place in your valuable paper. .

but none less, It was also perfectly evident
that we might have taken at least one-fourth
more, if not double the quantity from the
same'ground, had we planted more, carefully
and laid the rows 15 qr 18 inches apart, in-,
stead of two feet. There was many places
in the rows where there was not a plant for 6
or 8 feet; .and then again many places where
hey were so crowded that the roots could
ot fairly develope themselves.
As food for cattle, especially for milch
cows, our experiment was as follows: In Oc-
rtber, our best milch cow began to fail in her
milk, and wo cut an arm full of the tops of the
mangel wurtzel for her; this seemed to have a
"rood effect,and it was repeated night and morn-
i Mg for a week,when she fully recovered her usu.
.1 supply. The leaves were then withheld,
md she immediately failed again in her milk.
At that time her full quantity was about twelve
marts a day, and when the mangel wurtzel
leaves were withheld, the quantity she gave
was only about six quarts. She had a good
oasture, with an excellent stream of water in
it and plenty of salt during the time; but at
that season the grass does not afford sufficient
.utntive matter.
After another week we began giving her
the roots of the mangel wurtzel, cut small
ind occasionally sprinkled with shorts or corn
meal, and a little salt, one peck of the roots
-riven thus had the same effect on her milk
that the tops had ; and we suspended these a
vvepk, to try their effect the more certainly.
The result was as above stated, a conviction
'.hat mangel wurtzel is the best and most prof
itable roots we can raise for milch cows.
After cutting outlie.leaves, they very soon
grow out again, so that they may be cut eve
ry fortnight. But we think it better to select
the largest roots from crowded places, and
give them tops and all;. as we think the new
growth of leaves is at the expense of the roots.

Fattening Beet—Monmouth Feb. 15
Mr. Holmes :—I wish to communicate a few
observations through the columns of your use
ful paper, in regard to fattening beef. Much
of the beef made in this vicinity, is from cows
which, through age, have become unfit for
the dairy, and from oxen which arc worn out
with hard labor. It is customary to milk
cows.until August or September, and as soon
as they can be dried of their milk, begin to
feed them, first with green com stalks, small
corn, potatoes and meal; and the value of
the feed given them is generally much more
than the value of the beef when slaughtered.
The oxen intended for beef are generally
worked in the spring as long as they are able
to drag the plough, because it is the last
spring’s work which they will do, for the
owner intends to fatten them.
Notv all this appears to me wrong. If
those who have.old cows which they intend
to fatten would dry them of their milk before
they go to the pasture in the spring, and ltft
them have a good pasture and plenty of salt,
they will find that they will have much better
beef than that which is made from vegetables
in the fail, and much cheaper; and a cow
thus fattened will double the quantity of tal
low, of those which arc milked through the
summer. The old and worn out oxen inten
ded for beef, should be well kept through the
winter anti sprihg, and corn or meal freely,
given them, so that they may be in good case
when they go to the pasture ; 'one bushel of
corn or meal given them in the spring is worth
two in the fall.' Let them have a good pas
ture and bleed them once a month oroftencr,
take but a small quantity of blood at a time.
In tins way the farmer will find he is amply
compensated for the loss of milk from his old
cow and for the labor of his worn out oxen.

Mangel Wurtzei. for Cattle.—Last
year we made an experiment with mangel
wurtzel for cattle, and the result was highly
satisfactory—so much so that wc shall hereaf
ter adopt it in preference to all other root
crops for the purpose. Having about the
sixth of an acre of ground prepared for early
com for which we had not seed enough, we
determined to plant it in mahgel wurtzel as
ira experiment, having very little confidence
in its equality with rutabaga. We accor
dingly soaked the seed 24 hours in warm wa
ter, laid off furrows about two feet apart, and
dropped the seed six or eight inches, apart,
covering as we do corn. When the. plants
were up, we passed over the field with a
weeding hoe, and subsequently run a small
plough through it twice, clearing.out the
weeds with a hoe. This is all the cultivation
it Rhd, and we feel certain that all the work
bestowed upon it, including the original pre
paration of the ground for com, did not amount
to more than two full days work for one roan.
We put no manure on the ground, though it
nad been manured the year before for pota
toes, and for planting in early York cabba
ges, which were killed by the severity of the
vyinter. The soil was fair medium mold, a
mixture of sand, clay and vegetable mutter,
high ground, but level. When the mangel
wurtzel was gathered, it was estimated by ev
ery one at seventy five bushels: some more,

Gen. Lafayette.—We have seen a let
ter from this veteran apostle of Liberty, da
ted March 15th, enclosing an extract from a
Paris paper, which gives, as he says, “ an
exact account of an adventure which took
place at La Grange, and of what has passed
on the occasion in the House.” We have
not time to translate the article, but in lieu
thereof, annex a paragraph from Lc Nacional,
as translated by the American, giving a state
ment of the outrage^—and also a sketch of the
debate on the subject in the Chamber of Dep
uties, as contained in Gallignani’s Messenger.
From Lc Nccional.
Violation of the dwelling of Gen. La Fayette.
Gen. Lafayette communicated to day to
the Chambers a fact, which even after all the
indignities heretofore witnessed, will revolt
the public. A member of tho Polish Govern
ment, the celebrated Lelewel, driven from Pa
ris at the instigation of the Russian Embassa
dor, had found an asylum at La Grange, in
the House of the General. He has just been
taken, from it by gensdarmes, who thus viola
ted the sanctity of a dwelling, which even
the Restoration had respected though Gen.
Lafayette was openly its opponent. The
pretext for this savage act, as the General
characterized it, was that this proscribed man
once had been seen in the capital, notwith
standing the engagement into which lie had
entered not again to appear there. The true
motive is a fresh injunction from th° Russian
Ambassador recently arrived in Paris and
who was unwilling to endure that one of the
Polish heroes should quietly reside within fif
teen leagues of his own dwelling. The impu
tation cast upon M. Lelewel of having bro
ken his word, Gen. Lafayette and his son
both repelled peremptorily.
Chamber of Deputies—March 11.
Gen. Lafayette said, that he was induced
to ascend the tribune in defence of M. Cabot,
from the recollection that he was one of the
Deputies destined to bo tried by the military
tribunals, after the days of the 5th and Gth of
June, and had -narrowly escaped being the
victim of measures which could not be too
severely censured. “ It seems,” continued
the Hon. Gcjj. “ that we are treated with too
much consideration ; some arc dismissed from
their situations by expressing their opinions,
others have justice denied to them, and even
I have to complain of proceedings which have
taken place within the last three days at my
country house at La Grange.”(M<irked atten
tion.) The Hon. Gen. then complained,
that a detachment of the Gendarmerie had
been sent to La Grange, and had forcibly re
moved M. Lelewel, a Polish refugee residing
there, nhd conveyed him like a culprit
to,Tours. “This,” added the Hon. Gen. “is
more savage treatment than } ever experien
ced under the Restoration, but I suppose
Ministers wished to have a piece ofiatelli-
gehcc to secure a good reception for our new
Ambassador at St. Petersburgh.” (Applause
from the Extremities—murmurs from the
Centres.)
The Minister of .the Interior, after remar
king on the total want of connection between
the circumstance alluded to by Gen. Lafay
ette and the subject before the Chamber, said
that the Chamber would, in a very few days,
have an opportunity of examining whether
Government had abused the power conferred
on it, of assigning specific residences to foe
refugees when necessary, as he should, short,
ly present a bill to renew that, power, and at
the same time, ask4*or two further grants of
1,500.000 fr. and 750,000 fr. for the relief
ofthose refugees, towards whom Govern
ment was accused of feeling so indifferent.
As for M. Lelewel, there existed serious rea
sons, which had induced Government to .re
quire him to fix his residence at a distance of
00 leagues from Paris. Gen. Lafayette re
quested that instead of going so far, he might
be allowed to reside at La Grange. This
was acceded to, on M. Lelewel pledging his
w6rd of honor that he would not come to Par
is. Notwithstanding this, howqver, he did
come several times clandestinely to Iforis.

Messrs. Editors :
Having noticed in your paper of the 28th
March, an account of the unfortunate ren
contre between Col. F. G. Stewart and Mr. F.
II. Leonard, of this village, which w.is no
doubt extracted from the Southern Banner,
and contains a strange perversion of facts, in
order, therefore, to prevent the further em
ulation of the falsehoods contained in the ac
count above alluded to, I have sent you this note,
requesting you, with all other editors who
have inserted the other acconnt, to insert
this, as it is what has been sworn to by three
respectable: citizens of this place, who were
present at the commencement and end of the
affray.
Col. Stewart called at the tavern late in
the evening, where Mr. Leonard boarded,
and found Mr. Leonard and others conversing
on the subject of Nullification. . Col. Stewart
immediately took part in the conversation,
wuich soon became warm
and Leonard, and resulted in Stewart’s cull
ing Leonard a damned fool, and Leonard call
ed him a liar. Stewart replied that he
should not allow him (Leonard) to give him
tae lie, and Leonard told him that he was
a li..r. Stewart then made towards him, and
struck Leonard over the eye with ids umbrel
la : Leonard returned the blow with his fist,
and knocked Stewart back several pact's ;—
and as he recovered from the force of the
Black Hawk and his son-foe Prophet and
hisson, and the other Indian hostages sur
rendered under the late treaty, waited on the
President yesterday, to receive his orders.
The President met them kindly. n e direc
ted the articles ol dress provided for them to
be exhibited to them, and told the pri ieipui
chief that the whole would be delivered to
him to be distributed with a view to their com-
mon comfort—that they must rep. nr immedi.
ately to Fort Mpnroe, and remain there con
tented, until he gave them permission to re
turn to their home—that the term of their de
tention depended upon the conduct of their
respective tribes—and that they would not be
restored to their families until it was ascer
tained that the stipulations of the treaty had
been complied with by their people, and all
the bad feelings which had led to the bloody
scenes on the frontiers banished.
The Prophet replied to the President, and
said, that they expected to be permitted to
return immediately to their people ; that the
war in which they had been involved,
grew out of the attempt to raise provisions
lishment, which with the upper part was soon
consumed. It then attacked the. adjoining
building No. 20,'occupied by Mr. Bloomer
as a carpenter’s shop, which soon shared the
sime fate. From the narrowness of tho

a supply of water to play upon the different

and they had lost many of their people, as
well as the whites ; that their tribes and fam

enemies, the Sioux and Menominees, and
that thev hoped to be permitted to return to
take carts of them.
Black Hawk added to the remarks of the
Prophet, that they considered, that, like Keo
knelt, they had come to visit the President,
and, like him, would be permitted to r< turn to
their homes. He entered into some brief ex
