Liberty, T/x?ot Co. 20th April, 1833. 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. . Your ob’t. serv,t. NORBORNE B. POWELL. 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. —American Farmer. Gen.

From the Kennebec Farmer. 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. A FARMER. 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, ' V<> | | H [From the New York Journal of Commerce.] 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. New. York, April 25. Important.—This morning only, we re ceived the annexed letter from Havre, writ ten at the moment of the departure of the Charles Carroll. It is important,as showing— if the intelligence by Estulctte irons Paris be well founded—that the negociation between the French Admiral, the Porte, and Mehemet Alt, lor checking the march of Ibrahim, had been disregarded by the latter—that Sir S Canning had failed to induce Spain to inter fere against Don Miguel—and that the Pe- droites had made a hit at Oporto. - \ Havre, March 24.—The Charles Car rol! is going out.

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.
