[From tho Southern Recorder] TO THE FARMERS OF GEORGIA. If you have made up your mind to live in folly, luxury and idleness or if you are content to increase your indebtedness by another loan, either from a bank or a shav er, or if you can be fooled into a u-orlgage of your Land and Negroes to a Free Bank ing concern, it uill be lost labor to <-ive run counsel. The man whose head is filled with schemes, will think the slow process of well regulated labor and economy, quite beneath the loftiness of his genius." What ever else modern improvements have done, and they h ive done much, there is not one thing they have not, and cannot do.— They cannot set aside the Divine decree, that man shall eat his bread in the sweat of Ms face, until he returns to tin: ground. But because it is hoped the number of reckless and silly people is small, while it is admitted large numbers of all classes end callings are far from the path of wis <!(, .1 and safety, it is believed that they have fallen into this path, rather by inad vertancy and from the bad example of oth ers, than by a fixed intention to bring ruin upon themselves, and to entail wretched ness upon posterity. Surely it must he pleasing to every nrm to perceive the business in which he is engaged, prosperous at present and pros perous iu prospective—doing well now and a fair chance for well doing years to come. The farmer whose fields are yield ing an notion! increase production,growing in fertility and beauty, must have a source of independence and happiness, far beyond the man who perceives every year a les soning product, visible barrenness, and i ureaie.uial poverty. That we may rout in ti to do well, let us cast about on all sides tor the ways and means of improving our lands. The fir t idea of keeping laud from ex haustion, is to rest it from cultivation, and Miller it t<> he coated over with ns much '.■getalde matte- as possible. It io'believ < 1 lint from two to three years resting of fields at a time will go further to their re covery, than the same amount of rest, by au alternate cultivation; observation gives this as a good plan—sutler fields that have been previously in small grain, to lie un cultivated at least one year. The most fruitful sources of recovering exhausted land, must lie from manure, which has been suffered to lie iu waste a bout the stables, gin houses, uud other places, iu sr.ch quantities that had it been properly disposed of, thousands of acres now • uworliiy of cultivation, might have i giien labor an abundant reward. Every species of manure is more valuable than gold 'lines, and should ’oe looked after and carefully disposed of. Perhaps the most that can he hoped for, so long as our laud will y ield any thing a bove subsistance, is to induce the farmer ii carry out to his tield such manure as can be easily obtained and advantage ously disposed of. When this much Iris been done, such will Ire found the reward, that we may expert soon to find some ef fort to increase' the quantity from such sources as common sense may suggest.— 'Hie means of raising and using manure in the farm, arc various am! very abundant, i ml must be left to the thought and judg ment of each planter for himself; the most important part is to have the work dour, ..ml abundantly dour. To preserve our land, repeated crops of cotton must lie stopped; for kept in that ile in state that cotton fields art', is to ex pose them to he carried oil" both winter ami summer by the rains. It is impossible after all is done by al ternation of crops, by rest ami by manure, to fully and restore land. W e niu.-t universally adopt the plan of ditches, and horizontal rows an all our • woken fields, if we will not leave to our children a most cheerless and gloomy in tvritaiicc. This plan has been practised for several years successfully in Virginia, and some few are trying it to advantage iu this Blate. Perhaps it would be best to commence in a small way a field or two of a year, and sucliasvvill be most easily laid < if by this means the practical knowledge ui y be obtained and the laborers become ; •eu-tomed to the work. It will not he denied that it is a work i.tecli moi" worthy to engage the mind ■ I the farmer as to how he may most easi ly obtain the food and raiment that pleas ’■s, than that he should make Imnsclf a common disturber by a heated engagement :it the party politics of the day—for your selves, for your children, for your country, ! >r Philosophy and for Religion, being to mm your thoughts and actions to prtsirer tot- fields that are now fruitful, and to re store those that have been made barren In bad husbandry—wc may bestow our next on slaves, and slave labor. We have been vastly amused with the Jnie-spejttch of Mr. P.‘y.vue of Y irginia in the U. S. Senate, says the Louisville'Jonr u::!, intended as a reply to Mr. Rives and a general defence of the administration. M e are curious to know whether Mr. Van Buren feels flattered by it. The eulogies it bestows on hint are truly funnv. The Senator says:—“There is something li onising in the thought of danger from the sword iu the hands of our little President. Why, sir. he could hardly lift a grena dier’s broadsword,” What a compliment to the leader oftlie sturdy Democracy of the nation, the inheri tor of the mantle and the treadcr in the footsteps of the huge old giant of the Hermitage! It if glory enough for the loco foe os to under such a chief? A Thrilling Incident.— When Mr. Cambreletig mured, in Saturday night’s sitting, that the House go into committee lof the whole on the state of the Union, to take up certain appropriation bills, Mr. Chambers asked to withdraw the motion to enable him (Mr. C.) to make a statement; and Mr. Cambrtdeng having withdrawn his motion, Mr. Chambers said the statement lie -wished to make related to a matter affecting himself, in some de gree, and ho would therefore barely sub mit it to t lie House to do hi the matter what might seem right and proper. He said he bad for some weeks past, and dur ing the last session, been waylaid about the rotunda and on the stairs and passage of the Capitol by a lean, hungry, starved looktng man, who met him at every turn, land the vision of whose ghastly face haunted him c en in his hours of rest. Phis man had been one of the real la boring men, a sub-contractor—who had l macadamized the beautiful avenue imme diately in front of the capilol during a period of deep calamity and distress in the city, when the cholera prevailed, i he superintendent of the work having reserved the right to abrogate the con tract for anV delay or suspension of the work, refused to permit the contractor to suspend it, hut sent physicians among the | laborers to advise them not to work early in the morning or late in the evening, and not to work hard nt any time. Diseas , death, and alarm dispersed the greater pari ol the operative force., tlie contract or was ruined, and the sub-contractor was involved ,n all the worst consequenc i <’s of the failure, and in debt for a great part of :he labor. He had repeatedly been imprisoned j for debt, and separated from an interest-; mg family for want of bread to feed them: j disease had followed, and the man was | now, and had been, for many months here soliciting justice at the hands of the Gov ernment, m a state of actual suffering for the comforts ot life, while tins Govern , ment owed him upward of five thousand dollars, which for years ho lias been beg ging for—yes begging for justice for lie is broken iu spirit, and suffering has al most made him mad. The Semite (Mr. 1 C. said) bail at last passed n hill for his rebel, and this day while the House was iu session, the committee over which he had the honor to preside (and it was a| high honor to preside over that commit- 1 lee, for they earned their daily bread) had examined the bill, and ordered him to ask leave to report it without amendment, land ask a departure from all the rules, which night obstruct its commitment to a committee of the whole; and lie would even ask that it should go to the commit tee ol the whole on the state of .he union. -Mr. C. begged leave to add that he had some doubt whether this mini had not to day committed a breach of the privileges <d the House, lor w lien the committee of claims emerged from their room, the poor fellow, ns usual, was iu waiting at the door in (ear and trembling, and on being told the committee had decided to rc-j commend to the House to pass his bill, and that every effort would lie made to, get it through, bis sallow face turned pale as death, and the fountains of his eyes | overflowed and the members of tiie ootti mittee, without exception, though not greatly given to the “inching mood,’’ join ed m the jioor fellow's undignified ex pression ol ieeiiikg. lie, unfortunate man, • again saw in prospect his suffering wife and little ones assembled around him, and hinisel! treed Irom the danger of a return to his prison—it depended iijinii the House vv lift her it should he so or not.

News was brought to town yesterday, that) an awful and fatal explosion had taken place early in tiie morning, in the Black Heath Coal Pits, in Chesterfield, bv which there was a considerable destruction of human life. Tiie explosion was what is know n as a “lire damp explosion,” from want of proper precaution. Between f»0 ami BO pit laborers and two overseers bad) previously gone down. Three men at the mouth of the pit were instantly killed. The late of those who went down is not known; but it is supposed few, if any es caped death. They had not been reached, according to the last accounts. P. S. Since the above was in type, wo have just conversed with a gentleman from the Pit. He thinks that between 30 and 40 Ind gone below before the explo sion—four of them had been gotten out, who, it was supposed, would recover— two others were seen dead; and cries and groans were distinctly heard from some who had not been reached. So great was the "CotrsfemarrorF and dismay that the accuracy of details could not be relied on; and so great was the terror among all iu the vicinity that the proper efforts could not he promptly made to get out the unfortunate laborers. One ot the three at the mouth of the Pit, alluded to above, is living with both legs broken. The other two were imme diately killed. The shatt and engine arc hut little injured.—[Richmond Compiler, 19th inst. ! “Dick Johnson’s children, are as inno cent as lambs”—says the Ohio Monitor !

[From the Baltimore American.] Snch has, of late years, been the at tention paid to steam as a propelling agent in navigation and manufacturing process es, that every thing connected with its history claims paramount interest. In tire course of a debate which took place in Congress on the 9th of February last, on the propriety of presenting a gold medal to James Rumsey, junior, as commemo rative of the services of Ins father, James Rumsey, in adapting steam In boats, Mr. Rumsey of Kentucky, entered into a vin dication of that gentleman’s claims to originality of discovery. Accord, to the account given by Mr. R , Mr. .1 .uses Rumsey, who was a native of Maryland, but had removed to Siieppardstown in V ir ginin, first conceived the iib-a of applying steam t-» the navigation of vessels iu July or August of the year 1783. Owing to the difficulties then attendant on having machinery made, the ingenious individual of whom we speak was prevented from making an experiment in the matter until jthe year 1781. The trial then made was in private, and very imperfect; it was sufficient, however, to convince the in-, ventftr of the ultimate practicability of his plan. In consequence of this convic tion, application was made to the l/’gts-, laturc of Virginia for an Met ensuring to .Mr. Rumsey the exclusive privilege ol navigating bouts by steam on the rivers of that Commonwealth. About this time, Mr. It. addressed a communica tion to Gen. Washington on the subject iu answer to which lie received a letter iu which the General said that the idea of Mr. ft. was “an ebullition of his geni us’’rather than a thing applicable to any beneficial practical purpose. In the be ginning of the following year (January 1785,) the General Assembly of Mary land granted to .Mr. R. a patent securing to him the right to navigate the waters of this Slate by steam; it was not however until 1786 that the inventor lull at liber-) ty to make a final experiment. At this trial, winch took place on the Potomac, the success of the clforl was admitted by the spectators, among whom was Dr. A. Alexander of this city, the boat being propelled by steam alone, against the cur rent of the river Potomac at the rate of between four and five miles an hour. Ii was 11 ■:, as Mr. Rumsey states, until twenty years niter period that Rob ert Fulton made his successful attempts ; outlie Hudson river. After tiie experi- i incut on the Potomac, Mr. Rumsey find ing that he could not get such machinery as In: required made, determined to go j to England. Having reached London he persevered, notwithstanding difficulties of every description, in carrying on his plans) until lie died suddenly of apoplexy. At the period when Rumsey was in Loudon Fulton was also there, and, if we may, judge from certain alleged fiicts, there is reason to believe that lie had an oppor-, tunity of availing himself of the ideas of Rumsey with whom lie was on terms of great intimacy, lti the course of his re marks Mr. K. seetns uinviilmg to deprive Fulton of his share of fame, and only as serts in behalf of his relative tlie claim to originally. Asa proof of the acquaint ance between these kindred spirits a letter is quoted in which Fulton in writ ing home had mentioned the I’ict. The invention of the cylindrical boiler owes its origin to .Mr. Rumsey, together with many ofher valuable improvements in ma chinery. The young man iu behalf of whom tiie resolution was presented is blind and (leaf- —and is obliged to work at daily labor for support. Iu such a case would it not he well for Congr ss in ad dition t j a gold medal to give some more available and productive evidence id’their good will? As Americans we are grati fied to find that our country lias thus an additional claim to having given impulse to tlie introduction of steam for the pur |iosrs of navigation, particularly as on the ground of originality the claims of Mr. Fulton appear to us not to have been en tirely sustained. It is hut justice here to say that Mr. Fulton did not regard himself as the originator, so much as the improver, of Steam Navigation. Asa native of Maryland Mr. It. is entitled to our especial thanks for what lie has done. Sub-Treasurers. —ln 1780, that dis tinguished statesman and friend to liberty and law, Edmund Burke, introduced his famous plan of Economical Reform into the House of Commons and sustained it by a speech of surpassing power and elo quence. He opens his argument with seven propositions, to the last of which wc beg leave to ask the attention of every honest man, who marks the signs of the times: ‘■Resolved, That nil subordinate treas uries, ns the miseries of mismanagement, and as naturally drawing to themselves as much money ns they, can, keeping it as long as they can, and accounting for it »s latw as they can, ought to be dissolved.” It seems to us one more clause is want ing to square with the times, and that is, “and run uirm/ as fast as tori / ran .” 1 [N.

[From the Savannah Georgian.] DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION. About four o’clock yesterday afternoon a fire broke out in the yard of the Savan-j nail Steam Saw Mill Campany, on the other side of the river, opposite the yard of the Steamboat Company of Georgia. It proceeded from au old building from one’ to two hundred yards below the mill, and about I Os) feel long by 30 wide, the roof, of which ignited from a snark from the 1 mill ripe, the wind at the time blowing j strong from the North West. The build ing was immediately in a blaze, and the lire communicated in ten minutes or less to the schooner Mi flora, of Providence, ly- ! ing at tiie wharf near. The fire was by the wind rapidly extended to a cargo of white pine boards on the wharf, owned by Captain Vi m. Crabtrpe, jr., to which ! gentleman and George Hail. Esq., both) of tins city, the building in which the fire originated also belonged. In this budding (on which there was some insurance, not yet ascertained, in the Howard Insurance Company of N. York,) there was anew engine intended for anew steam saw Mill about to be erected, which was owned by the same i gentlemen, and which we arc happy to! learn is but partially injured. This en gine was not insured. The flumes also extended to to an other old building, of same dimensions as the former, the property of the Estate of tho late Robert Isaac, which was tdso totally consumed, as also a por tion of a |>i!e of 330 chaldrons of Liver-’! pool coal on the wharf, the property of Messrs. Crabtree Hull. The wharf heads have also been more or less in jured. The Schooner Malora wns the prop erty of Col. R . J. Arnold, of Bryan Court- 1 ty, valued about 83,000, and wc regret to learn, not insured. Tvtfo men on hoard at tho time endeavoured to loose her from her moorings, but before site could be got adrift, they were compelled by the 1 and imes to desert her, in one of lhe boats. ; She was afterwards scuttled-and when our j informant left her had been burnt to the water’s edge. i iie mill was fortunately preserved. While the second building was in flames, j and before engines could be carried across) tho river, tho alarm was again sounded \ and when we reached the scene, the old; building on Reynolds square, on the loti known as the old filature lot was in flames, ] the roof having caught from a spark waft ed several hundred yards across the river,! which igniting like tinder threatened a serious conflagration. The engines were l however on the spot, and thought he ele-j ment was very obstinate, by the timely aid of water well directed by the Fire men, and by tlie exertions of many cili ! zens, the lire was arrested, after destroy ) ing the double tenement wooden build ing occupied by Mrs. Russell, as a board ing house, and by Mrs. Austin, and ex tending to a small double tenement also if wood on St. Julian Street, occupied by Mrs. Johnson and Mr. P. Carter, which 1 was totally consumed with out buildings on the lot. The large building own ed by Mr. Thomas Clark, and .Mr. Amos Scudder, was under insurance, as we learn, 8809, made by Mr. Clark. Mr. Scudder was not insured, on tiiis building or on the other tenement which belonged to hitn. II is loss, we regret to state, is therefore heavy, as two other dwellings (not insured) on the lot, one a double tenement on Lin coln Street, were more or less destroyed !>v th*Axmen to arrest the conflagration. The dwellings of Mrs. Bourke, Mr. Seluey, land Mr. Thus. S. Wayne were with other contiguous buildings repeatedly on fire, but preserved by great exertion. We regret to learn that much furniture was lost by Mrs. Russell and Mrs. Austin, and that two of their hoarders Messrs. Roberts’ lost con siderable, ns also a Mr. Gardiner. We congratulate our citizens that it proved not more serious in its eTocts, and would urge upon Council the necessity of procuring more hose, some of which prov ed very deficient, and of keeping in good repair the cisterns, from two of which in the vicinity material benefit at this fire 1 was derived. Another Murder. The Mobile Chronicle of the 30th inst. says: Public feeling was shocked yesterday afternoon at the commission of a most extraordinary and heart-rendering mur-) dor. Mr George Ciiercuward, a highly respectable and esteemed commission liter- ) chant, was instantaneously killed by the discharge of a pistol shot, f.om the hands of Mr. E. B. Churchill, also a very res- i pectable merchant. The transaction oc-i currcd at the residence of the latter, in , whose family the former hoarded. The) parties were in an apartment by them selves, and had but a few moments prior j withdrawn from the dinner table. From various indications, it would appear that the deceased was shot from the rear—the ball iraving entered behind tlye ear, and penetrated to the brain. W e forbear from' anv comments; the foregoing is the sub stance gathered from the inquest. YV e un derstand, this morning, that Mr.Churchill lias been admitted to bail iu the sum ol 85000. On this also, wc forbear remark ing. Mr. Churchward was formerly of Nor folk, Virginia. If every one were honest we need not lock our doors. j If every body would mind his own bu sipess, there would be more business done. A fact for posterity. —Under this ! head, the Norfolk Herald has the follow ing relation: On Friday last the steamboat Alabama took up to Baltimore 23,000 mulberry switches ( morus Multicaulis,) from 6 to 8 feet in length, the value of which, at the lowest calculation, based upon actual, sales all through the country, cannot be' less than forty five thousand dollars. The number of eyes or buds, upon these 22,- 000 switches, is ascertained by carefully, counting them, to be two million, two hun dred anil fifty-four thousand, which, ac- \ I cording to the prevailing prices, would be considered cheap at tw o to two and a j half cents a piece. The whole were rais ed on fifteen acres of such lands as would be considered well sold at ten dollars an i acre in ordinary situations; and tho cost’ l of the cuttings, the expense of cultiva tion, packing, freight, and all else, being i added, the w hole would probably not ex ceed one thousand dollars!—Who would spin out his existence in a fruitless search after the philosopher's stone—and who) would think himself rich with a gold mine on his estate, iu view of an example like j this? These valuable trees were the property of Messrs. Collins and Pettigrew, two gen-) tlenien with princely estates, near Eden ton, N. C.. and were sent on to Balti more in the care of an agent, to be there ) disposed of. They were packed up with great care in boxes containing, we should judge, about 250 trees in each. A Shocking Murder. —The details of a murder that has few parallels in the annals of crime, are thus given iu the, Morgan, Alabama, Observer: YY e arc informed from private sources that on last Saturday, a poor man who was moving westward with his wife and three little children, and driving a small drove of sheep and perhaps a cow or two I which was driven by his family, on arriv ing in Florence and while passing through met a citizen of that place, who rode in-; to h:s flock and caused him some trouble to keep it together, when the mover in formed the individual that he must not do so again or he would throw a rock at him, tijion which some words ensued and the individual again disturbed the; flock, when tlie mover, ns near as wc • learn threw at him; upon this the thlesome man got off his horse; went into a grocery, got a gun and came out and deliberately shot the poor stranger ) iu the presence of his wife and little) children. The wounded man then made an effort to get into some house, when his murderous assailant Overtook and stab- i bed him to the heart with a bowir knife. This revolting scene we are informed, I occurred in the presence of many citi zens who report says, never lifted their voices in defence ot the murdered man. The blood of a stranger rests upon them: and the cries of a widow and three poor little orphans, among strangers, who snf-; sered a father’s blood to be spilt for so tri-) vial a cause, must coiUaiuly pierce their very hearts, and send the vengeance of remc.se to the guilty soul "of such a dia-j holical murderer. A Farmer’s Daughter. —A few years; ago, a farmer living a few miles from Eas-j ton, sent his daughter on horseback to! that town to procure small notes for one of a hundred dollars. When she arrived! there the bank had closed, and she en deavored to efleet her object by offering : it at several stores, but could not get her. note changed. She had not gone far on her return, when a stranger rode up to her and accosted her with so much polite ness, that she had not the slightest suspi cion of any evil intention on his part. — 1 After a ride of a mile or two employed in a very social conversation, they came to a retired part of the rode, and the gentle man commanded her to give him the hank note. It was with some difficulty that she could be made to believe him in earnest, as Ins demeanor had been so friendly but the presentation of-a pistol placed this matter beyond a doubt, and she yielded to necessity. Just ns she held the note to him, a sudden puff of wind blew the note into the road, and carried it gently several yards from them. The discourteous knight alighted to overtake it, and the lady whipped her horse to get out of his power, and the other horse who had been left standing by her side, started with her.— He fired a pistol, which only tended to in crease the speed of all parties and the young lady arrived safely at homo with the horse oftlie robber, on which was a pair! of saddle Iwigs. When these were opened,) they were found to contain, besides a quantity of counterfeit bank notes, fifteen : hundred dollars in good money! The horse was a good one, and when saddled and bridled, was thought to lie worth at least as much as the bank note that was stolen. i An accident occurred, at the Walnut St. theatre on Friday evening, during the representation of the magnificent specta cle of the “Cartarnct of the Ganges.” During the performance, the horse iu as cending the cartaract, missed his footing, fell and broke his neck—Tha noble ani mal we learn, cost five hundred dollars. A few nights previous another accident occurred in the performance of the same piece, by which Mrs. llield and Mr. Pick ering were considerably injured. Mrs. H. we understand is still insensible from the effects of the injuries received. [Phila. Sentinel Account of American Manufactures by an Englishman. —At a great Ai ti-Corn Law Dinner, recently given at Manches ter, England, one of the speakers in the course of his remarks, made the follow ing statement: that iu 1814 the people ot America consumed one hundred bales ot j cotton. Last year the consumption was 1 nearly three hundred thousand bales, en tirely the growth of the short period which has elapsed since 1814. Site now stands jin point of consumption, where we stood in the year 1810. Sixteen years ago Low ell, the Manchester of America, was a desert. Its forests echoed.no sound but that of the cataract. It now spins and manufactures forty thousand bales of cot ton per annum. There is a concentrated water power, amounting to five thousand horses’ power, which equals one half ot the water power of Great Britain which is applied to the cotton manufacture and to one sixth of all the steam power so ap plied. In 1835, America exported two millions, eight hundred thousand dollars worth of cotton goods. In 183 G and halt of 1837 she exported twenty thousand hales of her cotton manufactures round the Cape of Good Hope to India aud Chi na, and thirty-four thousand hales to the markets of S. America. Neither is it in the cotton manufactures alone that she is advancing. In 1835, she had seventeen mil ions of sheep and lambs. In 1838, twenty-three millions, which, at three pounds per head, would give sixty mill ; ion pounds of wool, the whole of which is manufactured therg. Interior woolens are sold as cheap in New York ns iu the cloth-halls of Leeds. For the last two years our manufacturers have worked with i out receiving any profit. A Revolutionary Hero Gone.—A mong the foreign volunteers in the army o( tho revolution the reader cannot hut remember the name of Baron Steuben.— After the treachery of Arnold lie could cot bear to hear the name of the man or any allusion to hint. Once, while review ing a regiment of light .horse, lie inci dentally heard the name which he so much abhorred. He ordered the person hear ing it to tlie front, and was astonished at the appearance of a young and gallant rider ot portly hearing excellently equipp ed. “Change your name, brother soidier,” said the Baron; “von are too respectable to bear the name of a traitor.” “What name shall I take, General?” said the sol dier. “Any you please. Mine is at your service.” An offer so honorable was thankfully accepted, and the name of Steu ben was entered on the roll.

Inasmuch as no law was passed at the recent session, prolonging the period of postponement, the payment is now due and demanded by the States; and the orig inal appropriation being from any mo neys in the Treasury not otherwise ap propriated, we do not see hut that the Treasury must, in obedienceto law, make the distribution, or confess to empty box es.—[New-York American. ™ M its.

A plan is said to be in agitation to es tablish train roads by the side of the turn pike roads, capable of competing for all ordinary purposes, with railroads, and at an infinitely smaller expense as well as risk. The plan is said at this time to be in operation at Llanelly, in Wales. The cost, it is said, would be 1350/. per mile. Thus train roads might have been made to Birmingham for 146,0001. while the railroad has cost 6,000,0001. [Rich. Cotnp. Kerned,, for the Gout - Board with the Prin ter !
