THE PIRATE’S LOVE. HI nOSCBT HAMILTON, The lady look'd from her latticed hower, As the diamond lamps hung in the sky ; And the chime of the midnight's dreamy hour, On the breezes wing came sailing by, When softly a voice broke on her cur. From the golden depths of the orange grove; And ever thus ran in melody clear: — “ Wake, Lora dear, ’tis thy Pirate Love. Queen of my band that the blue ocean sways, ( And Lord of my heart, shall thou, maiden, be ! A hundred bright swords flashing liberty's blaze, Shull be drawn at thy glance to hold thee free ! Then wake, Lora, wake, ’tis thy lover calls, See, my bark is breasting the moon kissed bay ; Oh! leave these proud towers, and lordly halls— The realms of ocean thoul't find more gay.” Then the maiden she looked to the heaving wave, And then to her home with many a sigh; But her home was the heart of her lover brave, And the star of her heart his eagle eye. 1 Down the silken stairs, from her casement hung, Swiftly she glides, like a sky-borne dove ! * Into his arms she fondly sprung,— Now she rules the wave with her Pirate Love. | -- SB ( from the JVVw England farmer. Indian Corn made without Tillage at. ter Planting. By experiment, I have arrived at some conclusions in regard to the culture of r J the Indian Corn, which 1 think arc of importance to farmers in (he Southern i States. I communicate them for the use i of the public with great hesitation, be- | cause they arc directly at variance with 1 the received opinions on the subject. , The early part of my life was spent in , agricultural pursuits—ami hence, if there I were no other reason, 1 feel a deep in terest in every thing relating to agricul ture. I noticed, very early, the great difficulty in transplanting successfully the young corn plants. Whence comes this, but from braking the roots in tak ing the plant up ? How is it. then, that intelligent planters alfirm the doctrine, that one chief object of ploughing corn, is to cut its roots ? If breaking the roots of young corn in transplanting it, is real ly fatal to its future growth, must not breaking its roots with the plough, when it is older, and the season hotter, be a se rious injury to it? Any other conclu sion seems to me to be at variance w ith the general economy of nature. It seems to me that there can be, in truth, but two reasons' for ploughing or hoeing corn— -Ist, to destroy grass and weeds; and 2d, to keep (lie soil loose, that the roots, may penetrate easily, in search of their proper food.—Butin accomplishing these two purposes, great injury must he done to the corn, by breaking its roots. Can we not accomplish both these ends, and at the same time keep clear of the atten • dant mischief? 1 think we can. Last spring I planted a small piece of poor ground—first breaking it up well, rite rows were made three feet apart, anti Ihe stalks left about a foot apart in the thill,—The ground had been very foul last \ear with ernb gr.i>s, whose seed matured. The coi n was not well up this spring 1) T re the urass began to appear. " • rn had about four blades, the young gr..s.s completely covered the ground, ana the corn was turning yellow. 1 spread a small quantity of stable ma nure around the corn and covered the whole ground three or four inches deep with leaves from the forest, taking cure to dothis when the ground was wet, and the leaves also, that they might not be blown away, and to leave the tops of the young corn uncovered. In ten days there was not a particle of living grass to be fount), and the corn had put on that deep bluish green which always betokens a healthy condition of that plant. From the day the corn was planted un til after the fodder was pulled and (he tops cut, nothing more was done with it, and the result is a product at the rate of forty-two bushels to the acre—about one third of the stalks having two cars on each of them. 1 noted, in the course of (he summer, the following facts:— Ist. The corn treated thus, was al ways ahead of some planted alone side of it, and treated in the usual way. er than other corn, planted at the same time. 3d. During the hottest and dryestdays the blades never twisted up, as did other corn in the neighborhood. 4(h. In the dryest weather, on remov ing the leaves, the ground was found to be moist to the surface, nod loose, as deep as it had been at first broken tip. sth. The heaviest rains had scarcely any effect in washing away the soil, or making it hard. It certainly will require less labor to produce corn in this way, than in the usual mode. And even if it required more, we have the consolation to know, that while, by the old mode, every hour’s work is an inquiry to the land, by this mode, every hour’s work is making the land better! for few things can be belter manure than (he coating ofleaves pul on in summer, when ploughed in the winter or spring following. 1 used leaves raked up in the forest, be cause of these there is an ample supply within the reach of almost every person —and because there seems, from my ob servation, to be, a strong antipathy be tween dead and decaying forest leaves, and crab grass, that most harrassing foe of agriculturists. I make this communication, as I have already said, with hesitation, because the idea of raising corn without ploughing and hoeing, and at the same time improv ing the land by protecting it against the influence of a scorching snn and washing rains, is so directly in the teeth of the universal practice, for ages. The thing, is however, at least, worthy of further trial. It may lead to most important re sults. Those who think (he plan worth atten tion may easily make an experiment with an acre or two, and note carefully its progress through the summer, if they arc satisfied, after the trial that (here is any thing in it, to extend the operation will not be a difficult matter. - If, on experiment, it should be found advisable to extend (he operation, the proper way would be, I think, to col Icct the leaves in winter, and deposite them in heaps on (lie ground on which they arc to be used, and the next .spring, during a wet season, after the corn is up, spread them, taking care to leave the tops of the young corn uncovered. There is one very important, result that must follow the success of (his plan on a farm—and it was with an eye chiefly to that result, that my experiment was undertaken. The constant excuse for not improving our land, is, that where cotton is grown, the time necessary, first to cultivate the growing crop properly— next together it, and then prepare for a new crop, leaves the planter no time to collect manure. My plan will put an end to that excuse at once; for wherever leaves arc to be had, half the time usually bestowed on working the corn crop in the usual way, spent in gathering leaves and putting them on the ground, instead of ploughing it, may in a short time, accom plish every thing that can be desired in the way of manuring. Why may not the same process answer in (he cultivation of cotton ? If it keeps the ground soft and moist, and prevents the growth of grass and weeds in a corn crop, it will surely have (he same effect with cotton—and be the means, further of preserving (lie cotton, when tho bolls open, from all the injury it sustains from the soil in wet seasons. This is however, but speculation. Let it be tested by ac tual experiment. JAMES CAMAK. Athens,“Da. October 10, 1835. From the Charlatan Mercury* THE SURPLUS VS. THE SPOILS PARTY. Subjoined is tho letter of Mr. Wood bury, about which \vc lately published a pa rn graph. Our readers will see by the penultimate paragraph, that tho Adminis tration are casting about for pretexts to appropriate tho whole surplus. This will allay Mr. Pinckney’s apprehensions lost his Government should he deprived by the Deposite Hill of tho gratification of swal lowing uptho whole surplus. Mr. Wood iiimv, tho Secretary of the Treasury, hopes that none of it will bo saved from that voracious maw. Ho asserts that all of it will ho recaptured from the safe keeping of tho States in 1812. The nulionai Mr. Pinckney who objects to the Deposite Bill—because it operated to cut down the appropriations of tho last session to the pi tiful sum of 47,000,00(1 —need not fear that his Administration friends will not do all they can to disburse freely for national objects. But there is a clash between Mr. P. and his “ high State Bight authori ties.” He quotes Gen. Jackson in his Address us “ high State Rights authority. Mr. Van Buren avows himself Gen. .Jackson’s political ditto, and Mr. Wood bury of die same school may ho certainly written do. Now Mr. Woodbury tells us the surplus, if divided " will soon ho re called.” What then becomes of Mr. Pinckney’s assertion that it is a donation I Mr. Pinckney can see no essential differ ence, between money deposited, to be re called, and under the pledge of the good faith of the States to keep it safe, and re fund it on demand-—and money absolute ly given. He says it is a despicable quib ble to insist on a difference. His high Slate Rights authority, Gen. Jackson, sees tho difference — Mr. Ditto Van Bu ken sees the difference—Mr. Woodbury sees the difference—Mr. Calhoun secs the difference—every man of common sense sees the difference—but tho candid and ingenuous Henry L. Pinckney calls it a “ despicable quibble.” \\ ash ino rax, Bih July, 1830. Dear Sir—\ our’s of tho 3nd inst. de serves my best aeknow lodgment for its nu merous useful suggestions. The naval hill, as to admirals, did not get through both houses, and our friend Elliot, with some other gallant follows, must longer fuel the pangs of hope defer red. Our overflowing treasury, which is so often prayed for, will, 1 fear, prove a curse. But my best cflorts will ho given to exe cute the late law faithfully, though 1 have many misgivings us to its liital influence on the sound relations heretofore existing between tho states and the general gov ernment. Tho President wishes me to express his thanks for your kind remembrance of him. Ho leaves this city in a few days for Ten nessee. I believe the ensuing presidential elec tion is to be unusually quiet, and I will not allow myself to despair of tho Republic, however portentous may bo sumo of the signs of the times. Should we become involved in a real or quasi war with Mexico, tho surplus may never be divided, or will ho soon recalled At all events, the whole will bo wanted in 1613, if not earlier. Five millions arc to come oft’the present tariff in 1811, alone. Mr. Adams’s health has not been good the latter part of tho session ; but 1 saw Mrs. Adams quite at church last Sunday. Truly and respectfully, your obedient servant, LEVI WOODBURY. Hon. Be.nj. Waterhouse, Cambridge, (Mass.) from the Charlettan Mercury. Mr. rinckur)' and I lie larred right* of flitr Abolitioniol* v». South Caroli na and tho minor right* of I lie South. The main point which Mr. Pinckney has filled to defend, the head and front of his offence which he has not excused, is that ho deserted the, high Southern ground, and gave up our right to reject the peti tions of Abolitionists. In saying that by yielding that “ minor polnl"\\m procured the “ strongest action possible on the part of Congress in favor of the South,” and that to insist on re jecting the petitions was to take “false ami untenable ground,” he, has yielded to , (he Abolitionists the right to petition Con ■ gross against slavery is a grievance, nnd refused to Congress the constitutional right . of rejecting those petitions. Perhaps he will say that by “ possible” ho did not 1 mean “ consti/w/i'wia?” hut possible under the circumstances. Tho eqivoquo will not avail him. If be believes that (he Abolitionists have the right to petition Congress against sla very as a grievance, and to cull ns pirates, ruffians Se man stealers, and dial Congress has no right to reject their petitions after they are presented, he is not fit to repre sent a Southern community in Congress. And if he believes that Congress had the right to reject the petitions, and ye! gave up a right so important to tho South, from his dread of being in a minority, from his Anti-Southern ’craven apprehen sion of the “ disastrous” consequences of being defeated in a vote, he is not fit to rep resent the majority defying South in Con gress. If he really means to assert that the “ right of petition itself would have boon violated by the rejection of those peti tions, he is not fit to represent the South. If believing (hut it would not have been violated, ho yet deserted lijs colleagues who insisted on tho right, to reject—if he yielded that main point because he drea ded Northern clamor, and was afraid of those who would falsely assert that the right of petition was violated, ho has not firmness or courage enough to represent the South. “ Fear admitted into public councils, Betrays like treason.” And those who may now vote for his rc-cleclion, will endorse alike his (reach f crons fears and treacherous concessions. The right of petition secured by the Constitution is, “ the right of (he people peaceably to assemble and petition for tho ■ redress at'grievances,” When the popu i lar meeting has been uninterrupted, and the petition duly presented; and its pur port n ado known to (ho Legislature, tho exercise of the rig’ll! of petition Inis been consummated; and then succeeds (he right of the Legislature to receive and en tertain or to reject the petition, which last they can do on dccount of its being blas phemous, or contra bonos mures, or a gainst the public peace. Mr. Pinckney has, it seems, sought to pit myself against Mr. Calhoun —nsvm teneaties am id? and shall have all tho benefit of tho com parison, though it increase that pitiful ness ofhis miserable case, on which he and his faithful followers rely, (or floating him back to Congress on the tears of a commisera ting public. “ For pity melts tho soul to love,” , Tho next important point is, that Mr. Pinckney, by refusing to deny explicitly, the constitutional right of Congress to it holish Slavery in the District of Columbia, . conceded that right,—or, if he denies this, did at any rate substitute by his own con i session, a non-committal Resolution, for a direct and unequivocal denial of the right of Congress. Ho tells ns that lie believes that Congress has not the right. Why did ho not, with the frankness and fearlessness of a Southern man, assert his belief in positive terms, plainly and ex plicitly in his Resolution? Because, as ■ he tells us, ho was afraid of the majority. He dreaded tho disastrous consequences to tho South, of a defeat on that question. Did he not dread the, disastrous couse . qnences of a committal on that question i to tho non-committal party under which , he now serves ? Bm this ii non-committal” Resolution, Mr. Pinckney tells us is “ tantamount,-' lo a denial of tho constitutional right of i Congress. (It is not our business to cx • plain away Mr. Pinckney’s contradic . lions.) Now if it be tantamount, and Mr. 1 Pinckney cheated his Van Huien friends into voting for it under the impression that it was non-committal —it was paltry arti fice, juggle, and trick, unworthy of a ■ Southern Representative, who ought not • to sneak to his rights by any indirection— ■ hut slate his demand ingeniously, and in sist upon it with uncompromising rcsolu i lion. A majority on the highest and strongest, and therefore the safest South ern ground, would have been much gained ; tor the South, hut a majority from all sides, a harmonized amalgamation of various opinions! a heterogeneous congregation i of mongrel, puppy, whelp and hound, got together by their instinctively rallying to the point where Mr. Pinckney first broke our phalanx, commenced a recreant ro ■ treat, and surrendered an out vork—a majority purchased by weak and treacher ous concessions! such a majority so ob- I blitted was worse than a thousand volcde , feats, where tho Slate Rights party stood - linn alul unwavering, true to themselves •and to the South, in that fixed minority, i which has won and preserved for us all . we boast. Perfidious is that public send - m l who vaunts such a majority to lull us 3 into false security, and delude us with the i false assurance, that “ there is more ; strength against the Abolitionists at - Washington, than really exists.” Let his constituents toll him that they would not « have been frightened out of their propriety , if the insisting upon our rights had in ■ creased tho numbers of the abolitionists, and tho clamors of the North. We dread - not the numbers of the Abolitionists, nor I tho interested or hypocritical clamors of , tho North? We dread much more any i treacherous weakness, vanity, cowardice, or corruption in our ranks! We know that the South true to herself is safe, nnd we tell Mr. Pinckney in the words ofone, whom while ho followed he went straight, i hut deserting whom and his other old and i trusted pilots, he has gone wofnlly adrift . and involved himself in inconsistencies, I “in shallows and in miseries,” — ■ “If to maintain our rights must increase A (lie Abolitionists, be it so. 1 would at no ( period make the least sacrifice of principle < for any temporary advantage, and much less'at the present. **** I, for one, ( would much rather meet the danger now, I than turn it over to those who are to come I after us.” I --*♦o ( MR. CALHOUN.' “ The coarseness and brutality of the I official organ at Washington, the Globe, is exemplified in its leading article yes terday, which congnenccs with asserting that “Mr. Calhoun never told the truth when falsehood would serve his turn/’ , anil closes with calling Judge White a “ Calvin Edsnn skeleton and death’s head.” Now that this language and such like, that daily disfigures the columns of the Globe, can be agreeable to any por tion of the virtuous and intelligent part of the people of (his country, we do not believe. On the contrary, we cannot but think it must nauseate and disgust. To suppose otherwise would be a severe re flection upon the stale of moral principles and feelings existing amongst us at this time.

OUTRAGE UPON SOUTHERN RIGHTS. We furnish our readers this morning with a decision winch gives an entire new feature to the slave question. It has just been deckled by the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, t/iat a slave car ried into that State by. Ids owner, or by consent of his owner, becomes co inslanli free ! What think you, of that, people of the South ? If a Southerner carries a servant or a nurse with him into the State of Massachusetts, the highest ju dicial tribunal of that State is ready with its writs and processes, to wrest that servant from him and pronounce him a freeman before his face ! And then, as iftondd the grossest insult to the deep est injury, we are told that this decision is no interference with the rights of the slaveholder, but that rather, the carry ing ol a slave into a State which does not tolerate slavery, is an interference with the laws of that State ! People of the South ! will you sleep forever over your dearest rights? Are you willing to sustain forever a confederacy with States into which you dare not travel with your pro perty, legt than property becomes by law actually confiscated ? Os what value to you is a Union which enables those who are in common with yourself, members of that Union, to destroy the right to pri vate property and deprive you of that which is justly yours by the strongest of . earthly titles. This is the strongest and boldest step . ever yat .taken against the rights of the Smith, and leaves the puny efforts of the .abolitionists at an immeasurable distance in the rear. The abolitionists themselves have thus far asked fur but little more than the liberty of publishing and distri buting what they please on the subject of slavery, (bad enough in all conscience,) but here is a high ami powerful court, which sets our negroes free us soon as they can get within its reach. Shall we submit to this? Has it not been enough that we have borne for years with a pa tience almost amounting to servility, the exaction of the tariff for the benefit of the North? Is it not enough that the coffers of the General Government have been filled by Southern earnings to be lavished upon those States in the way of appropriations? And must we no now submit to have cmr property taken form us by courts and juries, and be insultiii"- ly told such things are no interference with our rights ? O - -»«♦*» J Q ©♦«< • From the Daria it Telegraph, 6(/i inst. Afehmcholi / Catastrophe. —On Wed nesday last, about I o'clock, two young men, Henry ISrooks and Joseph Mc- Coy, the former second engineer, and the latter carpenter of the steam-boat David ■- Crockett, accompanied by a negro, got ■ into a small canoe heavily laden with ■ brick and lime, to proceed to the Lower Blurt, where the Crockett was lying to i receive some repairs. The day was hazy, and a heavy shower fell while they were • paddling to their destination. When they had just came in view of the steam boat, a squall sprung up, and the canoe I filled with water. Tiie great weight ■ caused her to sink instantly ; and die 1 whole three had to swim for their lives. ■ The only one, however, that reached the t shore in safety was (he negro ; Brooks and McCoy stink to rise no more! What I renders the case surprizing, is the fact I 4 , that both of the drowned men were good swimmers. Want of presence of mind I was the cause of their death. Brooks 1 was a native of Now-York City, and was the main support of.a respectable widow- i cd mother. She had four sons, all engi- ! 1 I'ccrs; one was blown up last summer in the steamboat Pioneer and killed, at the 1 same time, Henry, who met his fate yes- i terday, was severely scallcd, but recov ered,alas !to be drowned. Another of her sons was destroyed in die pursuit of ; Ids business, somewhere else; and thus has this poor widow been berelt ol three of her offspring in the course of a brief year. On the very day that Henry met his death ho had yielded to the importu nities of his only parent, and taken his passage in the packet brig Amelia Strong for New-York; but never was his aged mother to look on him again. McCo v was just recovered (roni a severe fit of sick ness, and was too weak to make much exertion to save Ids life. The bodies were recovered on Friday last, and the verdict of inquest was “ accidential drowning.” They were subsequently decently interred.

Mr. Peter Bacot, a respectable citizen of Charleston, put a period to his existence at the City Hotel in New York,, on the 3Ut ultimo, by discharging a loaded pistol in his mouth. Ho had received the appointment of Cashier of the Morris Canal Bank, in that city, and, had but a few days previous, arrived there for the purpose of enter ing upon the duties of his office. The Evening Star says, that after hearing the evidence of sever al respectable persons, the Jury “ immediately de termined to give a verdict of temporary mental derangement, or extreme depression and melan choly, caused by the change of residence, the breaking up of the early associations ‘ of his life, and separation from his friends and acquaintances, to whom ho was so much attached at his native city and home.” FROM FLORIDA. We publish below, from the Charleston papers, a most distressing account of the present condi tion of the United Stales Troops, now in Flori da. It seems that the Military post at Micanopy has at last been abandoned, and the troops have retired to Black Creek. This ill-fated country is now in a much worse situation than it was at the time the Volunteers went there. Fort King, Fort Drone, Micanopy,end other posts have been abandoned, one after the other, on account of the unhealthiness of the climate, leaving the hostile Indians in undisturbed possession of almost the whole interior of Florida ; and, wc are well as sured, that nothing will or can be done, which will tend materially to benefit that country, until late in the winter or early in the spring ; “To the politeness of Lieut. Dancx of the U. S. Artillery, who came passenger in the schr. . tine!ia, Capt. Joyner, arrived hero yesterday forenoon from New Orleans via St. Augustine, wc learn (hat the troops have removed from Mi canopy to Gamy’s Ferry, Black Creek, in conse quence of sickness and the exhausted slate of the A detachment consisting of three com panies, have since been ordered by Col. Crane, to take post at Santa-fee bridge, 38 miles from Garcy VFcrry, on the road to Newnansville. The garrisons in the interior arc as follows at Newnansville, 60 miles from Garcy’s Feny ; 1 Santafec Bridge; George’s Ferry ; and Picolata. i Numerous small parties of Indians (supposed to • be Creeks) are reported to be passing South in | the vicinity of Newnansvillc. j There are now above 300 men sick at St. Augustine, having been brought from the inte- < rior. Major Pierce had abandoned his intention of i renewing the attack on the Indians at Gen. I Clinch’s plantation, from the exhausted state of : the troops, Sic., anil the superior force of the i enemy. Cap# Ashby had entirely recovered from his wounds. Lieut. Dancy gives a deplorable account of the health of the U. S. Forces in Florida. He states that of a Company of U. S.

Plant, of this city, who have received a few copies, which are for sale, with a copy of this workj which is accompanied by a Map of Florida, and a full length likeness of Osboi.a or Powell, the Semi nole Chief. The author gives historical sketches of Florida, the Florida Indians, and of the trans actions which took place in the territory between the white people and Indians, previous to the com mencement of hostilities. He concludes by relating the principal incidents which occurred during the late campaign, in the right and left wings of the Army—This work will no doubt be read with much interest by the community generally, and we presume there will be a great demand for it throughout the country. It is a Southern work, and we hope will bo well patronised. At present we learn there arc but very few copies in this city. tub crops. We ate frequently told that the prospects of our planters are at this time very encouraging; and there is every reason to believe the present crops of Cotton and Corn in the up-country of this, and tlie adjoining States, will prove more abundant than they have done for a number of years past.— From the following article, which we copy from the Darien Telegraph of the 6th instant, we find with regret that the prospects in the low country are not so flattering : “It is with the deepest concern that wc an nounce 'the melancholy fact, that the Cotton crop in this county is nearly destroyed by the late heavy rains. We have had. conversation with some of the most respectable planters in the coun ty, on the subject; and they, one and all, deplore their loss, in terms that cannot bo misunderstood. The largest plantations are inundated to the depth ofthree'and four feet. Dr. Troup’s, Mr. Wylly’s, Mrs. Brailsford’s, Mr. Atwood’s, and many others are in this condition.

The editor of this paper has been treated as ho deserved, by several of his Southern subscribers, since ho has dared to interfere with our domestic rights, by discontinuing their support; and wo 'wish every one of them would “ go and do like wise. ’ There are several literary works at the South, which are every way more deserving of their patronage.—By way of revenue for this me rited treatment, the editor publishes the names of several persons as delinquent subscribers, and a mong them Mr. John Fosteu, of this city, who has shewn us the receipt of Mr. Atkinson’s agent, for the amount of the years subscription with which he is charged. This is most outrageous and disgraceful conduct, and has excited a very just indignation among those who arc acquainted with lire circumstances. Wc arc aware that this man has heiclofore charged others of his Southern subscribers with delinquency, who had in their jiosscssion at the lime, the receipt of his agents and we shall not be surprised to learn that he has treated others with the same injustice, in the pre sent instance, that he has Mr. Foster. But these insults to his subscribers will not put a stop to the indignation which his conduct on the subject of abolition has excited towards him; nor will his excuse of publishing “ the Runaway” as “an amusing sto rij’’ avail him with those who know any thing of his previous acts. He might as well say, after carelessly throwing a firebrand into a powder magazine, that he did not mean to do it. li must be a very “ amusing story,” indeed, for a Southerner to be swindled out of his lawful rights, by a parcel of vile fanatics, as is fre quently the case in Boston. People who are so very careful of their own pockets, as the Norther* people are well known to be, ought in common justice to respect the rights of others—lt gives u 3 much pleasure to lay before our readers the All owing letter of John W. Yaudouquoii, Esq. a respectable merchant of Hamburg, to the editor of the Saturday Evening Post, which Mr. A. pub lishes byway of censure. The bold, feailcss, and independent tone of the letter, does honor to the head and heart of the writer; and ho merits, what wc doubt not be will receive, the gratitude and sincere thanks of every friend of Southern in stitutions. llambuhb, S. O. August 1 Ith, 1836. Mr. S. C. Atkinson —Sir, —Have you so far forgotten your honorable station in society, and fin ever blasted your literary standing with yoor Southern filends, by becoming at once a degrad ed and inhuman abolitionist. Look sir, at the number of your Saturday Evening Post, dated July 30th, under the subject beaded, “ The Runa way.” For what reason have you suffered this vile piece to appear in your once respectable pa per ? Have you caught the dark and fiendish feclingi of those beings whb study no good, but rather that the fair fields of Southern industry and generosity should be drenched with the blood of their too lenient sons; or have you forgotten yourself, and suffered one idle moment to brand you with disgrace, in the eyes of your Southern patrons and friends. The crisis has come, when yon must now declare your intentions, oi silcnco will pronounce the filial judgment. If then, your breath smells of foul and darken ed dissention, farewell to your Southern interest.- For like unto you, will every patron be, that suf fers his name to stand upon your hellish jolt. Sum up your interest on either side, and choose ye this day whom ye will serve, your country, of the destroyers thereof; for the eyes of the South are wide awake, not only upon your press, but all. And in conclusion, I would say, strike my name off your list. JOHN W. YARBOROUGH. Prom the Courier of Wednesday. Mn. Enrron. —Allow me to ask through the medium of your paper, where is our Board of Health, and what is the reason they do not attend to the duties assigned them 1 It is particularly necessary at this time, when such a dreadful dis ease is not far from us, that every thinjfbt all con ducive to health, should be attended to. Every Cellar and Yard should be cleaned out and sprin kled with Lime, and if the owners do not attend to it themselves, they should be made to do it.— Some cellars through negligence have been closed the whole summer, and are now probably cover ed with water, some are actually in such a condi tion,and particularly one next door to and I think attached to one of our principal Hotels, that a per son is almost shined in passing along the street when the door happens to be left open. Some of our streets are in no better condition, particu larly Ellis street. I think you referred those mak ing such enquiries a short time since, to a register kept in your paper for that purpose. I find there the names of those appointed in June last, but permit me to ask whore arc the men, the names alone will not do; if they have left •our city, let others be appointed in their places before it be too late. It is a good old adage that ‘on ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.’ A RESIDENT. Extract a Letter from .Mobile. “DANIEL CHANDLER, Esq,, delivered one of (lie most splendid orations in this city, on the 4th of July, I ever listened to. He did great credit to his native State, and covered him self with glory. Well may Georgia exult that she ever gave birth to such a son. Nothing has been talked of since in Mobile; but him and his speech. “Who is Mr. Chandler I”—“Where is he from I” “Where was he educated 1” “ Wbat'is his profession I” are questions in the mouths of all, save his previous acquaintances. All circumstances conspired to favor the speak er. The Louisiana Greys (a fine volunteer corps from New Orleans) had come over lo unite in the celebration. They assembled in the Church together with all the companies and societies of the place, in their respective uniforms and badges. The house, though largo, was filled to overflow ing with the beauty and fashion of both growing cities. A large organ filled it with its swelling notes, accompanying the air of the “ star-spangled banner,” sung by a large choir. Amidst this ani mating scone arose the orator—his figure tall, his mien modest, his every look fascinating, as you know him lo ho. For a moment, he seemed almost overpowered by his emotions. It was an anxious crisis for his Georgia friends, but they knew the sleeping thunder that was in him. For an hour and twenty-five minutes, lie poured forth a torrent of impassioned soul-stirring eloquence, which told upon the audience witli an effect I never have witnessed before. Had Heaven’s artil lery been let loose upon the astonished listeners, from a cloudless sky, the amazement could not have been more overwhelming. Every ten min utes the peals of applause were so deafening as to compel iho speaker to pause until the enthu siasm subsided. His appeal in favor of Texas was sublime and thrilling, and many a tear was shed during the delivery. When ho concluded, three loud, long huzzas involunlarly burst from the great congregation. “ Rest assured, my dear sir, Georgia lias lost a jewel in Damf.i, Ciiandleb.” From the Charleston Courier. Honor lo the Brave. —Wo arc pleased lo per ceive that the City Council have erected a Mon ument over the remains of the gallant Volunteers, who died in this City after their return from tho Florida Campaign, and were interred in the Ccm etary attached to the Methodist Protestant Church . in Weutworlh-st. Thus should it ever he. Tho memory of the patriotic citizen soldier, who falls a martyr in his country’s cause, is embalmed in the ’ hearts of his surviving countrymen, and wc should “ Give in charge, Their names to the sweet lyre. The historic muse Proud of her treasure, marches with it down To latest times ; and sculpture in her turn Gives bond, in stone, and ever during brass, To guard them, and immortalize her trust.” The Monument is a handsome obelisk of white marble, ten feet high, on which the following in scription is engraved : ERECTED By the City Council of Charleston, As a tribute of respect To the Gallant and Patriotic Volunteers, Who left their homes to encounter A savage foe, Laying waste the Territory of Florida.

A Regiment of six hundred Creek Indians has been formed at Tuskccgcc, and regularly muster ed into the service of the United Stales, for the purpose of going to Florida to fight the Scmi nolcs; Capt. J. F. Lane; at this lime Aid to Gen. Jessup, has been appointed to the Command of this Regiment of natives, wiih the rank of Colonel; and Paddy Carr has been promoted to the rank of Major; this warrior together with Jim Boy, will also accompanoy the expedition. This army, we learn, will move for the scene of action forthwith. “ When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug o’war,” and when the Creeks and the Seminolcs shall lock ho: ns, it may be on tho consecrated banks ofthc Withlacoochcc, there will be the wild and noisy battling of desperation, and when the eagle eyes of Oseola, Carr and Jim Boy shall flash on each other, there will be a warhoop that will stir as with new life the blood ofthc red man, and produce a fight which wc believe will put a final stop to all Indian disturbances on this side of the Mississippi.— Columbus Herald 6 th insl.
