COMMUNICATION.
CITIZENS or savannah!
On Monday next you will be called on to
elert yftoper perl’on's to reprelent you in the
City Council. It is a matter of deep regret that
tlie Republican candidates are not more advan
tageoully diflributed...in fome wards there are
two or three relpedlable ones in oppolition...
in others fome lei's popular Oppose the moll
meritorious federaliils that car. be feltiSed by
their party. These circumstances mull ope- !
rate against the democratic interoil Re
publicans, you are too careless, too negligent ;
whilst you fee your political opponents making
use cf every po(Hole means to fill the legillature
of your city with men of their own choke, a
number of the moll refpedlrtble Republican ci
tizens—citizens cllcemcd by all parties are to
tally unconcerned, regafdlels of the coni'equen
ces of being governed by an entire arillociatical:
board.—Permit me to conjure you to step for- |
ward and evince to your fellow-citizens that j
you still hold in veneration those principles by
which our worthies of’76 were actuated...tl.j
principles that bough: at the price of blood-lhed
& devolution,thegloriousindependenceof which
you now boast, and in the enjoyment of which
you are the happitil people on earth. Do not,
Republicans, oppose each other ; where there is
one democratic ctiadidate, a good man, let not
another of equal worth rival him, so as to di
vide their interests and permit a fed to creep
in between them. Without arrangements dif
feient from thole already made, I am really
fearful this will be the case. A VOTER.
1 THE CHOPS.
A gentleman who ha> lately returned from
a tour through the upptr and middle parts cl
this Hate, informs, that there is the faired
prospect of rich and abundant crops this season,
that has been for many years pad... The corn
looks beautiful in every county that he pallid
through, and the cotton plants bore the appear
ance of health and vigor, and if the season
Ihould continue equall) favorable as heretofore,
the planters may flattir theinfelves with an
unusual abundance of this valuable article...
We underliand that the rains which have laded
so long and heavy in Richmond and the lower
parts of the date, greatly endanger the prof
perts which were flatteritc before; but we are
gladtolearn that the lealoh has not been so wet
in other parts of Georgia. [Augurta Chron.
We learn by the brig Resolution, from
Trinidad, that a few days before file failed Ad
miral Cochrane dispatched his foil in the Ja
son frigate, with the f lying l-'ifh tender, to
cruise for Miranda off the coast of Barcelona
and Cairac-s, and to give him assurance that
every assistance in the power of the Britilh
squadron should be given to forward the suc
cess of his enterpriie.
The Flying Fifti had returned to Trini
dad, and the Lilly sloop of war had been lent
to replace her. No intelligence by the tender
had tranfpireu ; but the prompt failing ot the
Lilly gave rife to much speculative opinion....
No account had reached Trinidad of the cap
ture of Miranda’s two schooners.
A report prevaikd that the armourers
employed at Cumana by the Spanilh govern
ment had been apprehended and executed on a
charge of having rendered unfit for service the
muskets that had been entrulltd to them to re
pair. [N. York paper.]
From several parts of this state we have
accounts of the ravages committed by a worm,
generally called the armv worm. We have
heard of many fields of wheat, rye and corn,
which have been almost totally cut down by
this dellrudlive worm.
Lexington (ICen.) paper.
A correspondent having obffrved the
publication of an experiment to Hop the pro
gress of caterpillars, by means of plaifter of
Paris, submits to the public the following fart,
which occured within his own knowl edge a
bout thirty years ago. A v.heat field at the
mouth of Patuxent river was attacked by fiich
quantities of caterpillars, just, when in full head,
that alter a few days few heads remainded un
injured in fome degree; when it was observed
that the caterpillars daily left and returned to
the field. This regular marching and counter
marching suggested an attempt to defiroy them
on tlieir passage to and fro, by marking them
with beaters in a finall trench cut round the
field,about afpade in depth, and a, broad as a
narrow lpade at top, but rather wider at bot
tom, in order to retain them longer in the
trench. It appeared evident that if the above
experiment had been made ori the firft attack o.‘
the caterpillars, very confiderxble damage mult
have been prevented, as such numbers were
quickly destroyed as to insert the air similar to
carrion. No bad efferts are recollected to have
attended the putrid state of the air. Nearly
about the fame time, a timothy mtdow, just
heading, was attacked, and was immediately
mowed. Telegraph.
