2 QLi)ronitlc and Sentinel. AUGUSTA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 22. Cotton Culture in India. The last of the series of letters upon this in teresting subject will be found in our paper ol this morning. The New Orleans “T ttopit, in which they originally appeared, says: We deem it nothing more than an act of jus tice to state that the papers on cotton culture have been written by T. H. Wolie, Esq., non a talented young lawver of this city, who formed one of the party that went to the East Indies un der the auspices ot the East India got eminent. In what has been published this gentleman has manifested powers of accurate observation, acute discrimination, and forcible description to the highest extent creditable to his abilities, and auguring great success in his present profession. Tylerlsm. The National Intelligencer oi the 18th inst. says:—A great excitement has been produced at New Brunswick, in New Jersey, by the remo val from office oi Samuel C. Cook, Postmaster for that city—a gentleman against whom there is no just ground oi complaint, political or oth er—and appointing in his place a person named John Simpson, of whom we know nothing, but who, it is averred, besides being an ultra politi cian of the Loeotbco school, did, during the canvass of 1840, denounce not only Gen. Har rison, but “Tyler too,” as a traitor to Jackson ism, 4c. A meeting of the citizens of New Brunswick, without distinction of party, was held at the Court-house on the evening of the 13th inst., the Mayor oi the city in the chair. Resolutions expressing the nearly unanimous sentiment ot the town in condemnation of the removal were adopted. Interference to the reign of proscription, of which the above case may be taken as one oi the tokens, the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot, apparently well informed, writes under date of March 15, as follows . “ Every man who has any regard for the dig nity of the Government must deplore he low state to which the standard of appointment to office has fallen—a fact of which the lobbies and ante-rooms of the Executive Mansion continue to give abundant illustration in the crowds of broken-down politicians and shabby' adventur ers that prowl to and fro and besiege the door of the President's office. The Madisonian s talk of ‘change’ has brought these persons here.” The National Intelligencer of the 18th inst. says:—The Snow, which fell in this city on Thursday last from noon until about midnight, lay upon a level, yesterday morning, some twelve inches deep, having drifted in places to the depth of four or five feet. The train olears from Biltimore arrived within live or six miles of this city at 8 o’clock on Thursday night, and there stuck fast; nor did they reach the city un til five o’clock last evening. The mail due on Thursday night was brought into the city from the cars about noon of yesterday. The Southern Mail of Thursday evening ar rived here in due season; but neither ot the mails due last evening had arrived when we went to press. Prospects op Mr. Clay.—The Alexandria Gazette, whose opinions on all subjects are ever entitled to respect, and particularly in regard to political prospects, always speaking oi such with abundant caution, says:—“We take occa sion to say that never, in our opinion, were tiie prospects of Mr. Clay for the attainment of the high office to which his friends seek to elevate him, brighter than they are at present—never were those friends so united, zealous, and en thusiastic. All that is wanting is for that union and enthusiasm to continue, and, if possible, in crease. “Ax a band of brothers joined, firm, uni ted let us stand.” Let them revive the glorious days of 1840 for the great man of the people!" Par the Chronicle and Sentinel. Mr. Guieu’s correspondent takes a most in genious method ot recommending a candidate for the mayoralty, upon non-committal princi ples. He recites the qualifications of Mr. Phiu izy for that office; but, as that gentleman is not yet “announced," he seems to “indicate" (with out saying so) that objections to his election are not yet in order. Well,—be it so. But it is certainly in order to examine the qualifications, which are thus gratuitously thrust before the public. One word, in regard to them. It is urged that we want a Mayor who will not be a party officer.—Granted.—lt is said Mr. P. will supply that want. —Doubted. “The thing that hath been,” says Solomon, “is that which shall be,—and there is no new thing under the Sun.” Now, I guess, that when Mr. P. is Mayor, his course, in party matters, will be much as it has always been; and the history of the last eighteen months shows how that is. For example— 1. He was a zealous advocate for the cele brated “House of Lords” act. But, 2. When John W. Walker opposed Andrew J. Miller for the Senate, on the sole ground of his voting tor that law, (as Mr. Phinizy had de sired him to do,) Mr. P. exerted all his influ ence, in support of Mr. Walker. 3. When the cry of “free suffrage” had serv ed its turn, Mr. Phinizy made every effort to change the time oi our city election, from April to September—and why I Many of Ms political opponents are then regularly absent. If such a man will make a Mayor, without ■party; he will disprove another proverb, which if it wants the inspiration, has all the practical wisdom of Solomon— “It is hard tn teach, an. old dog new tricks." Q. QOrion Porter Rockwell, the Mormon who has been accused of being the person who at tempted to assassinate ex-Govemor Beggs, of Missouri, last summer, was apprehended at St. Louis on the 6th instant and committed to jail. He will now have to stand his trial. Tylerism in New York. The New York “Union,” the paper establish ed by Major Noah in the city of New York as an official Administration journal, has given up the ghost. Its late subscribers are transferred to the Aurora, a morning penny paper. The only reason given for this lamentable catastro phe is “the difficulty of sustaining two morning papers pursuing the same political course.” Verily the cause of the Captain must be in a waining condition, if in such a city as New York, withalljthe force and screws of patronage, the party cannot sustain two penny papers. The Charleston Mercury says the Tyler pa pers at the North seem to be all running togeth er, like dew on a.cabbage leaf. The New York Union is merged in the Aurora— and the Phila delphia Evening Juirnal is united with the Eve ning Mercury. y~*j- The Philadelphia U. S. Gazette says that the English papers make mention ol the death of Richard Carlisle, the infidel publisher; and they add that he some time since made an open pro fession of Christianity. y-Y A letter from Amsterdam, February 1, states that the tower of the Church of West zann, in Southern Holland, one of the most re markable monuments ot the middle ages; has just iallen down. Exceedingly Fenny.-—ln the shape of those queer things called “resolutions” offered at pub lic meetings, we have seen many oddities in the course of our existence, but we think a resolution adopted at a recent Loeofoco convention in Mis sissippi, is a huckleberry above any body's per simmon. After nominating candidates fbr State officers and for Congress, on motion ot Dr. James Hagan, it was Resolved, That in the approaching canvass, the Democratic candidates are requested neither to treat or to be treated, but that they appeal to the reason and intelligence of the people. We should construe that intofan admission that heretofore the locotoco candidates in Mis sissippi have not appealed to the reason and in telligence of the people, but have been elected by "treating and being treated." We rejoice that there is to be a reformation in the mode of proceeding.— Tropic. Economy and Cbahity.—The following an ecdote was related by Mr. Emerson, of Boston, in one of his lectures upon New England. ♦•An opulent marchant of Boston waa called upop by a friend in behalf of a charity. At the time he was admonishing his clerk for using whole wafeis instead of halves. His friend thought the circumstance unpropitious, but to his surprise, on listening to the appeal, the mer chant* subscribed SSOO. The applicant ex pressed his astonishment that any person who was so particular about half a wafer; should present #SOO to charily; but the merchant said— •lt is by saving half wafers and attending to such little thing* that 1 have now something to give.’ ” Destruction ol I’oiut-a-Pltie. By the arrival on the 14th inst. at New Or leans, of the French ship Schems from Guada loupejdirect, in 18 days, we are in possession of the following interesting correspondence of the N. O. Courier. To the Editor of the Courier: Sir—When, three years ago, 1 edited, in New York, a French paper, called the “Indicateur," and you, by letter, invited me to an exchange of correspondence, 1 little anticipated that the first theme occupying my pen, would be one so mournful and disastrous as that I am about to enter upon, I allude to the total destruction oi Point-a-Pitrc, by an earthquake and by fire. ' On the Bth of February about half past 10 o’- clock, a frightful earthquake threw down all the Itouses and walls in the town of Point-a-Pitre. — After a terrible minute of mortal anxiety, the trembling oi the earth ceased, and then arose on all sides the most heart-rending cries. For a moment, a cloud of dust made it impossible to distinguish objects; but in a short time the wind dispersed the dust, and the eyes of the few sur vivors fell on heaps of bodies horribly mutila ted ; some still alive, and others quite dead. A stupor tor a moment seemed to paralize the tongues and the limbs of those who had escaped unhurt—they looked at each other like idiots.— Suddenly, cries broke forth, “My child I” “my fhther!” “my wife!” and then all were in motion in search ot’ those they held most dear. No longer could any streets be traced, for all were filled up by the ruins of the houses, ot which none remained standing but a few built of wood. After a long and painful search among the heaps of ruins, a few persons were taken out alive. The questions asked, while this was going on, were truly heart-rending: “Have you seen my mother?” “She has been crushed to death.” “Haue you not met with my children?” “They were found under the ruins.” “Oh tell me, what has become of my wife?” “She has been dashed to pieces.” Others stopped close to the spot where lately stood their dwellings—with their hands clasped together, and on bending knees they called tor aid: “My mother is there, buried alive under the ruins -she calls—help me to get her out. “I am seeking my own mother,” was perhaps the reply, and he had been called on to aid, went his own way. In all the roads, heads, arms, and legs were seen sticking out—the rest of the body being held as in a vice. And those heads, amis and legs, were trampled on by their fellow-townsmen, who were searching after their own relations. Three thousand dead, and two thousand mu tilated bodies had been taken from the ruins, and many more remained untouched eight days after the disaster. When they heard of this frightful calamity, the people of the neighboring islands hastened to send or bring aid and succor. Subscriptions were everywhere opened, and all rushed for ward to put down their names. Even the poor est among the poor, hastened to contribute his mite. In the meantime, food was wanted. Not a store or ware-house had escaped the wreck. True, a few frame houses remained standing: but flames had burst out from the ruins, and what the earthquake had spared, was now rapid ly consumed by fire. Nothing then was saved; but the lives of a few human beings, whose minds were oppressed with recollections of the scenes they had witnessed. The night of the Bth was frightful. While the flames were completing the work of destruc tion, those who hail escaped sought repose after the latigues and alarms of the day. The stout est had fled to the adjacent plantations, carrying on their backs, perhape a child, perhaps some chattie snatched from the fire, Otheis had re paired on board the vessels in the harbour. The teeble had lain themselves down at the foot ol a tree or close to a rock. The fire continued burning two days and nights. Ou the 10th, a provisional administration was organized. Rations weredistributed, consisting of a little rice, a little codfish, and a biscuit. Judges, lawyers, notary*, merchants, were seen with a piece of codfish and a biscuit in their hands. The diffident fared still worse, getting nothing. In consequence oflhis state ol things, numbers left the island. No questions arose as to where the vessels were bound for. It sufficed, if the unfortunate emigrant could be received on board. None remained, but those who were tied dow n by some powerful motive. The people of Martinico gave the kindest re ception to those who sought reluge among them CH. TESTUT. Match 13,1843. It was reported at Guadaloupe, three weeks ago, that the southern, or ci-devant Span ish side of Santo Domingo, had suffered severe ly by the earthquake of the Bth of February. Extract of a letter dated Pointe-a-Pitre, 22d Feb. 1843. Our fine town no longer exists—all has been shaken to its foundation and fire has consumed ihe remnant*. The caiih ojiened in many places to the width of four feet. About 1000 ot the wounded having had their limbs amputated, have since died. The scite of the town emits a frightful smell. It is said all the soldiers in the fort perished. The N. O. Bee acknowledges the receipt of three numbers of the “Avenir,” a French paper published at Point a Petre several days after the sad catastrophe, and says: The numbers before us, are absolutely filled with articles, letters, proclamations and official communications, respecting thisawful catastro phe. The proclamation of M. Gourbeyre, Govern or »f Gaudaloupe, published on the HthofFeb ruary, three days after the disaster, mentions that fifteen hundred persons had been extracted from the ruins alive. At the last accounts famine threatened to des troy the miserable remnant of citizens the earth quake and lii c had spared. So complete and over whelming had been the calamity, that provisions enough could not be found to furnish a scanty meal to the survivors, and the authorities were doling out a few mouldy biscuits and salt fish to the starving inhabitants. We learn however with pleasure, that the sympathies of the people ol Martinique and all the neighboring isles had been aroused and they were hasteningsuccorsto the ir devastated neighbor. No pen can adequate ly depict the horrors of this visitation. Correspondence qf the N. O. Tropic. Cotton Culture in India. NUMBER VII. 7'« the Editors of the Tropic: Ido not wish to be understood as writing a tirade against the Anglo Indian Government. Its sins are sufficiently glaring without the fi gures of rhetoric, or the colorings of fancy. I wish, by a plain statement of facts, to place the question of competition, in the cultivation of cotton, between this country and India, in the light of truth—proposing thereby to quiet the apprehensions of the people ot the cotton grow ing regions of this country —and to forestall any undue depression in the trade, or unwholesome influence that might be produced by hastily formed opinions, or the misrepresentations or boasts of Englishmen. In the last number, 1 made a very general al lusion to the aversion the Hindoos entertain to co-operate with the Government in the introduc tion of improvements of any kind, and the causes ot that aversion. Improvements of real service to a country, must be taken up by the tradesmen and farmers. In these two spheres of industry, there must be a co-operation, else there will be no success —they mutually minis ter to, and sustain one another. These two pop ular and most useful classes of the people of India, arc the most ignorant, degenerate and op pressed of all others. The Brahmin enjoys a superior stand amongst men, derived from the sacredness of his vocation, and freely yielded by the universal accord of all other classes. The merchant and banker pass their lives in luxurious case amidst their piles of ill-gotten wealth. The soldier, the mercenary wretch who sells his country for a pittance, and spends a life in forging the chains that are to fasten in bondage an unborn posterity, is ranked next in station and dignity to the God-like Brahmin. But the farmer, whose abode inmost countries is the sanctuary ol independence, intelligence, in dustry and virtue, is here the biding place of ig norance, indolence, and he himself lives in a cringing, slavish subserviency to all other or dersofmen. This is a strange and an anoma lous condition of society, peculiarly destructive ot those wholesome balances and checks, on which so much depend the prosperity of a peo ple. The highest and only wholesome incentive to industry and improvement, is the protection of property. The most discouraging, depressing, and destructive feature of any government, is the want of this protection. In no country is this latter feature more lamentably the case, than in India. This leads at once to a discus sion of the jurisprudence of the country, but for my present object, it is not necessary to take so wide a range. I will notice a few only ot the abuses of the Government bearing on this subject. The foreign position of the country, the abso luteness of the rule, and the general character of the functionaries all contribute to make the Government ot India an irresponsible one. And the shadow does not more certainly follow its substance, than does abuse the exercise ot pow - er without responsibility. One of the most effi cient sources of revenue, is the taxation of land. The tenures of land are various in different parts of the country. But in no part is the hold er of land entirely secure in his possessions- It seems a slander is assert that any of the sub jects of the English rule are deprived of their possessions by the assumption of might, yet It is true. Numbers of the natives possess landed estates under proprietary titles, derived, some of them, from the grants of the former govern ments, and some arc the estates of a wealthy an cestry, handed down through a long line of suc cessions. These estates are the peculiar ob jects ot the rapacity of the Government. The system of taxation is altogether arbitrary, and its officers in a great measure irresponsible.— The taxes are frequently so exorbitant that the owner cannot possibly pay the amount When 1 this is ihe case, the lands are seized and sold tv the highest bidder, upon whom arc imposed the same oppressve. conditions. If he does not promptly discharge them, the land is again sold, ami when no one will buy it, it escheats to the Government, and becomes a part of the public domain, when the collector of revenues makes the best disposal of it he can Not satisfied with this high-handed and open robbery, the Government gave the principal col lectors of revenue authority to examine legally the titles by which individuals held their estates. All such as were considered insufficient and in valid, escheated at once to the Government. As a consideration for these extra duties, each collector received } per cent upon the value of all the lands that should thus fall to the Govern ment. The collector acts in the double capacity of revenue officer and magistrate. —The manner of procedure in the investigation of land titles is a very simple om ; whenever the collector dis covers a fine estate, he at once suspects the gen uineness of the possessor—some pretext is soon found for its contestation. In order to test Jhis, he has instituted before him an examination which, with the powerful argument off percent on the whole value, too often results in depriving the unfortunate native of his possessions, which probably his family has enjoyed through a suc cession of ages. It will be jierceived that the collector, in these proceedings, is the prosecutor and the judge. From his judgement there is an appeal, but it is so expensive that not one man in ten thousand can take advantage of it. The collector in his district, is all-powerful—he hoists in his grap the interest of every man under him. By his power he imposes silence on the voice of complaint and shuts the mouth of inquiry. The wretched Hindoo, finding himself thus circum vented and hampered, tries by conciliation and sacrifice to propitiate the hunger of his destroyer. The collectors, with this per centage and this power, in a short time become less assidious and more indifferent to the prosecution of investiga tions into land-titles. This was not the result of any modification or change in the rigor of the law that exacted it, nor was it sympathy or a kinder feeling tor those whom they had robbed, but the lazy indifference of satiety—that indif ference with which the sated tiger or boa regards his passing victim. But this slothful proceed ing did meet the approbation of the Government And the f per cent was taken Irom the col lattSu*? and given to individuals. Thus were a number ol pests thrown amonst the people, wearing the badge of Government—licensed—bribed to the commission of frauds,l crimes and grievous wrongs on a helpless people— helpless, because they were the commissioned. officers of the Govern ment. But this is not the most odious, nor, so far as the prosperity of the country is concerned, is it the most mischievous feature of the Anglo-In dian rule. There is not a Tartarchief, or Turk ish Pacha, who demands with greater rigor or enfiircee with more dire injustice the execution ofhis revenue laws, than does the British Indian Government. The system ot taxation isamost arbitrary one, and emphatically the curse of the country. To each collector is allotted a certain district of country, in extent usually about six ty miles square, over which he presides, and from which he collects the taxes. In some part, the most eligible ofhis district, he has his head quarters, where he settles all business connected with the revenues of his district, and presides as a magistrate. At the proper season of the year when the crops arc beginning to mature, he makes the circuit ol his district—that is, he vis its the principal towns and cities within his ju risdiction, in almost each of which is stationed a fraction of a regiment, where he spends his time agreeably in the interchange of dinner parties, and other pastimes and civilities, with the gen tlemen of the army. The object of this annual circuit is to exam ine the condition oi the country and the state of the crops, which are his only guides in assess ing the government tax. If the country is pros perous—that is, if no unusual calamity has be fallen it, and the crops appear flourishing, the conclusion is that the people can bear a high rate of taxation. This state of things gives rise to every species of fraud on the part of the natives to deceive the government officers, which leads to vice and hatred on one side, and oppression and cruelty on the other. As lor all the good resulting from these annual visitations, the collector might as well remain at home, lor he never goes into the country unless it is on a hunting excursion or other occasion of pleasure. When he arrives in any section ofhis district, he pends through the country a host of native agents or servants, all wearing the badge of the government, and all he knows of the country is from the representations ol these minions. These petty officers go forth upon the country, as so many harpies; insulting, cruel, vindictive, and mercenary. The highest recommendation of such a servant to his employer, is the activity and promptitude with which he acquits himself in his “visitation and search” in each village, because upon the abundance ofhis returns great ly the reputation of the collector himself in the eye of the government. Upon the representa tions of these sub-officers the collector assesses the government tax. It requires no extraordinary powers of penetra tion to see the intolerable abuses growing out of so loose a system—the amount ofcrime and cruel ty on the part of the officers, and of vexations and wrongs suffered by the people and the consequent results to me country. I iiiigin write a mlnnte on the abuses ot power by the Anglo-Indian government, and the halt would not then be told; but the narrow limits to which I have confined myselfbarely admit of an allusion to subjects of this nature. Notwithstanding all that might be justly said against the Anglo-Indian government, there is something to be said in its favor. There is no doubt but the English rule in the East will ulti mately be productive of the greatest good; not indeed from any disposition in times past or pre sent on the part of the government to ameliorate the condition of the people—to enlighten and el evate them—but from the inevitable results of an association with an enlightened and energet ic people, gradually introducing amongst them, as they do, the improvements of the age—their sciences, and learning, and above all, the benign influence of the Christian religion. The veil that so long concealed the actions of the East India Company from the rest of the world, and under cover of which such excesses have been committed, has been drawn aside by the hand of time, and the actors on this great stage are expo sed to the criticisms and reprehensions of the world. The measures of government are begin ning to be submitted to and judged of by the public at large, and national pride is beginning to accomplish what the cries of humanity and the voice of reason had failed to do. I fear this paper has grown to an undue length, I will therefore draw to a close. 1 have said all on this subject that 1 intend to sav, at present. 1 have attempted to set forth such facts as came under my observation, touching the subject under consideration, and with these leave the question to those who are interested —whe- ther India can ever be made to compete with America in the production of cotton. YV. N. B. The latest accounts I have seen from India, both private and public, corroborate fully the opinion I have advanced. Some accounts are from the very sections of country in which it was so sanguinely hoped the experiment would succeed. The New Gams.—After trying for two years what could be done with the Whig party, by giving them some of the offices of the Govern ment, and finding that the party was incorrupti ble, and could not be Tyleriicd, the Adminis tration commences its new game, by attempting the same scheme with the Loco Foco party, ho ping for better success in that quarter. But the indications are any thing but favorable. The appointment of Mr. Porter, for instance, as Sec retary of War, is denounced by the Loco Foco papers of Pennsylvania, as a base scheme to distract and divide the Democracy of the State; but which will, nevertheless, utterly fail in its intended effect.— Alex. Gaz. Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot. Washington,’March 15,1843. The office-holders are touching the crisis of their destiny—Change ! Change ! We have had about once a week during the last three months, most oracular givings out by the Governmental official organ, from which most people interred that something wonderful and awful was to happen after the 4th of March. What that something was to be we never could distinctly learn. But the mystery is now ex plained—the oracle is expounded. A “searching operation”—a thorough inqui sition—has been begun in all the offices of the country of every grade; and it will be carried out with all the keenness and industry which a promise of spoil can excite; for the purpose of ascerlainining the political opinions of the in cumbents. They must all show their hands; and if there are any not ready to declare a prefer ence for John Tyler for the next Presidency, and to give their best exertions to secure his election, “Off with his head'” will be the word—so much for disaffection.” Yoh need scarcely expect that Baltimore will escape this sweeping inquisition. Indeed, we have rumors here, which assume to-day rather an authentic hxtk, that important changes in your Custom House have been determined np on. The Secretary' of the Treasury has a son in-law, who has for some time been his private and confidential secretary, fit is understood that he wishes this gentleman to be near him in the new position to which he has been transferred : and will appoint him Chief Clerk ol the Treas ury. Mr. McClintock Young, who will be thus superseded, must be provided for, however; and it is said that he will be either transferred to the office of Collector of your jxirt, or to that of First Comptroller, and Mr. MeCnltoeh will go to the Baltimore Custom House, This appears a comfortable arrangement enough for the par ties. Ido not vouch for its accuracy though: tor here reports vary every day, and almost every hour. Other changes in your city are contemplated I have good reason to believe -—but lest the report may have some ten dency to work its own fulfilment, I shall not mention the names of the “doomed.” Every man who has any regard tor the dignity ofthe Government, must deplore the tow state to which the standard of appointment to office has fallen—a fact of which the lobbies and ante rooms of the Executive mansion continue to give abundant illustration in the crowds of bro ken-down politicians and shabby adventurers that prowl to and fro. and besiege the door ofthe President’s office. The Madisonian’s talk ot' “change” has brought these persons here. Eve ry day adds to their number, and increases their importunity, They are neatly all el the class whom corrnpliou always seeks out, mid who seek in- their min the ivago: of -civility—al once jKior in principle an,i poor in t.'

The Presidents gracious - pleasure to grant him permission to retire,” to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. Fletcher Webster will beappointed Sec retary to the China mission, and intends to make the journey overland. Mr. Spencer has created some disturbance in that old “rookery,” the Treasury. The drones Will find him rather severe in discipline. A Looker ox. far-There is much truth in the following, which we find in .-m exchange paper, that we deem it richly worly ol' repetition: The matt who honestly contracts a ceht, be lieving truly that he will’ be al.lb to pay it, is not to be blamed iI ipisforinne prevents him.— But he whogeis the property or labor of anoth er, knowing I lial he will not pay, and designing not to pay, is a swindler and a' thief, though the law may not punish him ll>r it.

Graph Vink Cuttings.—The superintendent of the garilcns ofthe Duke of Weimar, em ploys w nh success, the foll.iu lug method of pro pagating the more choice varieties of w ine and tablegrapes, by means of cuttings. He selects from among the stalks and branches cut away in fall and spring, such as are of suitable diam eter —say from a to J inch —and have well ri pened wood. These he cuts in pieces in mid way between the buds, and splits each piece lengthwise, nxeserving the bud uifv.uaed., halves conu—frmg the biclo-aje the flat side on a bed of well prepared garden mould, gently pressed down level with the sur face, and co. tied with moss, or a layer of fine leaf mould. -Thus planted, the cuttings speedi ly strike root, if the bed be kept moist by occa sional waterings, and properly shaded, without obstructing the circulation of the air. Cuttings similatly prepared, though not split, rearlily strike root and produce vigorous plants, if their ends be dipped in melted sealing-wax, and they lie planted in good garden soil, cover ing them in to the depth of half an inch. The ground must be kept moist, and free from weeds. Grai-i-ing.—M. Schroer recommends using a branch ot common willow, an inch or two in di ameter, in thrtollowing manner, as a matrix for receiving the grafts of such variety if apple, pear or quince trees, as it is desirable to multi ply.- Make longitudinal cuts or slits through the branch, at equal distances of 15 or 18 inches. Take grafts having two perfect buds, give the lower end the usual wedge shajie, using a keen knife, and insert them in the slits of the willow-, making the lower bud sit close to the slit. Then bury the branch in a trench formed in good gar den soil of such depth as will permit the upper buds to protrude just above the surface of the ground, w hen the french is again filled. The ground must be watered occasionally if the sea son lie dry, and weeds must be carelully extirpa ted whenever they appear.

A farmer should never undertake to cultivate more land than he cando thoroughly; half tilled land is growing poorei: well tilled land is con stantly improving. A farmer should never keep more cattle, hor ses, sheep or hogs, than he can keep in good or der; an animal in high order the first of Decem ber, is already half wintered. A farmer should never depend on his neighbor for what he can. by care and good management, produce on his own farm; he should never beg fruit while he can plant trees, or borrow tools when he can make or buy them—a high author ity has said the borrow er is servant to the lender. A farmer should never be so immersed in po litical matters as to forget to sow his wheat, dig his potatoes and bank them up in his cellar, nor should he be so inattentirixo them as to be ig norant of those great quesliofo-ro' national and State policy which will alwaysmbsem more or less, a free people.

A fanner should never use intoxicating li quors as a drink: if. while undergoing; severe fa tigue and the hard labor ofthe summer, he would enjoy robust health, let him be temperate in all things. • A farmer should never refuse a fair price for anything he, wants to sell: we have known a man who had several hundred bushels of wheat to dispose of, refuse eight shillingsand six pence, and after keeping his wheat six months, wa» glad to get six shillings for it.— Par.

Hung bv the Leg.—The Hagerstown News says that, on Friday night, one of our citizens, Mr. Lowry, taking occasion to cross a paling fence, missed his hold, and fell in such a man ner that one ot his leet caught in the palings, and left hiiv susjiended in a most painful and perilous condition.

Something New.—The New Orleans Cres cent, gives the subjoined account of an experi ment made in producing coflee from sweet po tatoes. The Editor remarks that he saw the re commendation in a Memphis paper, and byway of a freak, was induced to make the trial, the result of which, as will l.e seen below, proved highly satisfactory. Sweet potatoes mixed with flour, make excel lent bread. We were not aware us this fact, until a neighbor of outs, a day or two since, sent us a part of a loaf for trial, it was sweet and perfectly light, and to our taste, was far su snperior to bread made in the ordinary way. In these economizing times we would recotn mend a trial of the sweet potatoes for both pur poses. If they can be made to answer for eith er, it will be a saving worth making by those who have large families. But we are detaining our readers from the Crescent’s account ofhis experiment in making Sweet Potatoe Coffee, mentioned at the com mencement ot our remarks: “Yesterday morning wedrank of ‘the proceeds lit breakfast, and hope to do this morning. A medium sized sweet potatoe was pared, and then, while in the raw state, sliced. These slices were then cut acrosswise, so that when the operation was over the pieces were square and precisely of the magnitude of ordinary dice. These were then toasted slowly over a tire, as one does cof fee. The moisture of the potatoe gradually evaporated, and in about the time that coffee would be prepared lor the mill, the potatoe sub stitute was ready lor the same process. The grinding was carried on easily and perfectly, and the grains came out prettily from the mill. The beverage w as made yesterday by the French method ot dripping, and we have seldom drank a cup with greater pleasure. This potatoe cof fee is as stnn; an I dark in appeanuiceas any other, and < n!vdiffer:; in teste from “Havans by reason ol asligta n-enil lance t > li takes very little sugar, and is a substantial, cheap, and no doubt healthy one. Who else tries it! It is better coffee than we overdrank in North or South Carolina, Georgia or Alabama, at any breakfasting house on a route, and we would particularly recommend it to the landlady on the southern bank of the Roanoke. IVe hope to see our planters try it, and doubt not that many who live far from or inconvenient to mar ket, will do well to introduce it. Poor people in the city can make coflee for a week, with a picayune’s north of sweet potatoes.” Wonderful Phenomenon. —The Editor of the Hartford Courant has recently been shown a small volume in manuscript, purporting to be a Diary, kept by Mr. Nodiah Russell, who gra duated at Harvard College in 1681, and was af terwards a tutor in that Institution, and subse quently the minister of Middletown, Conn., having been ordained as such Oct. 24, 1688. From this Diary the Editor makes the following extract: 27th day, Ist month, 1682. It being Sabbath day. In the morning it was very cold, at noon very warm; at night, between 4 and 5 o’clock, here was a thunder shower, which came front the southwest, wherein was a great storm of hail. The hailstones were near the bigness oi a bullet—they broke several squares of glass at College, for they came with a strong wind. Broke glass at Roxbury—and at Lynn it shat tered many windows. Moreover, at Lynn, af ter sundown, as it began to be duskish, an hon est old man, Mr. Hanford, went out to look for a new moon, thinking the moon had changed: when, in the west, he espied a strange Mack cloud, in which after some space he saw a man, standing in arms complete, with Ins legs strad dling and having a pike in his hands which he held across his breast—which sight the man saw and many ptheis. After a while the man van ished, in whose room appeared a spacious ship seeming under sail, though she kepi ihe same station. They saw it, they said, i s apparently as ever they saw a ship in the harbor, which was to their imagination the handsomest they ever saw—with a lofty stem, the hoad to the South, the hull black, the sails bright; t* lone and resplendent streamer came from the top ot the mast; this was seen for a great space, both by these and others ol the same town. Aftet this they went in, where, tallying but a white and looking out agair all was gone au.i the sky as clear as ever. THLRBDAI MOIIMHG, MARCH ...

After a time, however,the most sensible portion of them, those fur whose good opinion we cared a gloat, concluded we were right, and they would again take tie paper, and accordingly Ibrwar. ed the means to pay their old accounts, and in advance fi>r the tiitine. Now we all move on harmoniously: every man who reads our paj er, (save those in the counties lor which we do the official advertising, a feu of whom have not paid,) has the cheering reflection, when he sits down to read the Chronicle &.

The support of such a man by any intel ligent being, who is. familiar with the history of his career, front the time ot his nomination till now, an t who is not, we consider as con clusive evidence of knavery, or as being so de ficient in moral principles, as to render him unworthy the name ol an American citizen. If he did not obiain his nomination to the Vice Presidency by downright knavery, it was cer tainly accomplished by duplicity, and his recent conduct shows, if he did not attain his present position by political knavery, it was only be cause the Mccessity did not demand the exetcise of such t n ingredient. We are aware, fully aware, that many who entertain a sort of mawk ish, sickly respect for men high in office, will be disposed to regard this rather st long language; to such we have only to remark, that we labor ed zealously tor months, and we believe with some effect, to elevate him to office, confiding in his honesty, and the sincerity of his profes sions ; and to our utter astonishment, soon after that melancholy event which placed hint in the position which he now occupies had transpited, we became satisfied that he was not only desti tute of tue. first trait ibr which we had given him credit, but that all his professions and pledges were made with a view to serve his im mediate purpose , to l.e disregarded whenever, in his opinion, the interests of fne Traitor might probably be advanced.

The Convention with Mexico, Whatever ciicumstances have hitherto pre vented the official promulgation ol the Conven tion recently concluded between the U.

The Convention was concluded at Mexico, between our Minister, Gen. Thumps n, and M. Bocanegra and M. Gurostiz •, the Mexican Min isters of i oreign Relations and Finance. The following aie it provisions: Article 1.

Art.'2. The principal of the said awards and the interest accruing thereon shall be paid in five years, in equal instalments eveiy three months, the tail term of five years to commence on the 30th day of April, 1843, aforesaid. Art. 3. The payments aforesaid shall be made in the city of Mexico to such person as the U. States may authorize to receive them, in gold or silver money—but no circulation, ex port, nor other duties shall be chatged lheieon— and the Mexican Government to take the risk, charges, and expenses of the transportation of the money to the city of Vera Cruz. Art. 4. The Mexican government hereby solemnly pledges the proceeds of ihe direct taxes ofthe Mexican Republic for the payment ofthe instalments and interest aforesaid, but it is un derstood that whilst no other fund is thus speci fically hypothecated, that the Government of the United States, by accepting this pledge,does not incur any obligation to look for pavmeut of those instalment?; and interest to that fundalone. Art. 5. As this new arrangement, which is entered into for the accomodation of Mexico, will add additional charges ot' freight, commis sion. &c. the Government of Mexico hereby agrees to add t vo and one half per centum on each ofthe aforesaid payments on account of said charge ;. Art. 6. A new convention shall be entered into for the settlement of all claims of the Gov ernment and citizens ofthe U nited States against the Republic of Mexico which were not finally decided by the sole commission which met in the city oi' Washington, and of all claims ofthe Government apd citizens of Mexicrfagainst the Unitee States. Ait. 7. The ratifications of this convention shall be exchanged at YVashington within three months after the date thereof, provided it shall arrive at YVashington before the adjoui nmentof the present session of Congress: and it not, then within one month after the meeting of the next Congress of the U. States. We do not know whether it be necessarv to add that the Convenliflh, as: < (included, wa- stile tantially approved, before its conclusion, bv the bpresentalives ot a large majority'in value of te parties immediately interested. The day is n< far distant, it will be observe 1, (3ffih April.) wjten the first payment under the Convention is lose made in the city of Mexico. Membeh oc Congress Dun.—The Hon.

It consists, in its simplest foim, ot an endless tube, closed at all parts and filled w ith water. A portion of this tiihe is coiled in a furnace lo cated in the cellar, and contains the tire; the other part is distributed through Ihe liuilding, and receives its heat from the water constantly circulating thurein. An ordinary apparatus will contain alKiut four gallons, and requires re plenishing only once a week, with from one to two pints. The heater used by Mr. Minifie will keep his entire house perfectly comfortable during the (-eldest weather, with the consump tion only of a bushel of anthracitecoal every 24 hours. The temperature of the rooms, ihtis produced, is exceedingly pleasant, being soft and balmy, similsrto the atmosphere of a spring morning. Freeh air is introduced by mean-, of pipes, which passes through the healed coii«, beeoiaes ratified, and is presumed to l»- highly conducive to health. The invenlion her.- noti ced is altogethei one of importance, and invites general attention. This heater I.as already been introduced into other buildings in ihi-city. jV’i’iw Goven.or and < ’ouncil of Rhode 1-1 ’ and have ordet ..I a pro::</!,< to be entered against ea' h i t the indictments now pending at ' Newport ag/r.rr.t lifoiduals fol nearest. 1 Rich Old Maid.

A- an instance of the pranks play ed by Dame Fortune on those who woo Iter fa vor iiy industry and ccon >ni_t’, tie Would name the cas” of Lydia I > . A bout fifteen years sfoce, she Caine Io this place from Philadel phia, : lone, [io.ii , friendless, tinre- oniiuendetl, and commence I business in the humble capaci ty of a huckster—selling apples, candy, at the corners of th., street- next a small shop—a retail store, &c., gradually rose up until her pro perty is now valued at three hunrlretl thousand dollars. *For some years, her operations in Natchez and Y'icksburg ha-, e lieen large. She owns some dozen ofthe finest houses in Yricks burg, and is now a rich old maid, and w hat is a rare circumstance, accumulated all by het own industry. She has none of the contracted no tions anti love of small matters peculiar to old maids; but has a strong grasping masculine propensity for heavy business transactions, with all the care and economy of a strict hotisewile. When in Vicksburg tin* other day, she was pointed out to us, and we pursued her several square- until she enti-icd a storehouse on busi ness. Her features are rigid with care and cal cnlation. There is none of that swe.-i smile of loveliness which plays alxmt 111- sweet counte nance ot woman—hei voice lias assumed a bard and commanding tone, instead ofthe soft cadences ol love and kindness—her step is hur ried, instead oflight and graceful. Heradion, look aii.i_r.il- i-. that ol business, instead ol the graces of fin ely woman. :s| ( e only know s one impulse of action—mo ney. As an illustration of her character, we will name one instance ot her attempting to woo the powers of Utipid. Having accidentally dis covered that she was atone in the world, abo it lour years since, site determined on purchasing a husliani!. One day, as Judge Pinkard, (bro iler ot Dr. I’inkard, formerlv ol Lawrenceburg, Ind.) was passing her establishment in Vicks burg, she called him in, and informed him that she wanted him to couri' some monev f ir her. Tlte reader will recollect Judge Piukard is an old bachelor. The Judge, at her request, stepped inlohbr counting iwm, where she had one hundred thousand dollars lying upon the ta ble. When tbejiidgehad finished counting the locep.lv, she informed him, in quite a business manner, that he could have the control ol it, hr would take her with it! History does not men tion whethei* the Judge took the question under consideration, or whether lie rendered the opin ion of the Court instantly. But we are glad his decision has been preserved. He has deci ded tliat the one hundred thousand dollars, was quite desirable, but the inruiiibrar.ru was great er than the nett value. So the )x-titioner was nonsuited. We would suppose she was about forty years of age, but it is hard to judge the age of an old maid.— Cor. of Indiana Amer. Fhienuship.—Lieutenant Montgomery had seen much military service. However, the wars were over, and he had naught to do, but lounge as best he coul.l through life upon half pay. He was one day taking his ease at his tavern, wlrn lie observed a stranger cvidentlva foreigner, gazing intently ar him. The Lieu tenant appealed not to uoliceXhe intrusion, but shifted bis position. A short time, and Ihe stranger shifted too, and still w ith unblenched gaze he stared. This was too much for Mont gomery. who rose and approached Ihe scrutini zing intruder. “Do yon know ne, sir?” asked the Lieuten ant. “I think I do,” answered the foreigner who was a Frenchman. “Have you ever met me before 1” continued Montgomery. “1 w ill not swear for it; but il we have, and 1 am almost sure wc have,” said the stranger— “you have :t sabre scar, a deep one, on your right wrist.” “I have, ’ cried Montgomery, turning back his sleeve, and displaying a very broad and ug ly scai; “I didn't get this lor nothing, lor the brave fellow who made me a present of it, I re paid w ith a gash across the skull.” • The Frenchman bi nt down his head, parted his hair with his hands, and said—“von did; you may look at the receipt.” The next moment they were in each others arms. '1 hey became liosoin friends for lite. Tit: Til AnR.tVEn in iMeuiiv Guise.—We copy the following seasonable article Irom a late liumherof the Savannah Republican ; liuys ami GIHh. W1 er,- are they ! What has become of the juvenile race that used to make the welkin ring with t ic frolicsome laughter, the tree, unre strained sports, the merry, innocent pastimes of happy lioyhood and giilhoixl! What has be come of that beautiful raeebt tail haired, rosv cheekeil, healthy, wholesome boys, and the warm radiant sunshine of gitlish luces, with step a-- elastic and graceful as that of a wood ny.oph, with a laugh sweeter than the music of singing birds, with all their naturalness, their ijniiiijim- Byh n might well have simir i:i his day—- “Sweel i« ih<- laugh of girls.” It was heard then, and now in the “gi>en lanes of merry England, on the sunny plains of France, p.kmgthe vine clad hills <»f Germany and here, these “ec-iejeial voices” may be heanl, but not in mallrr-01-fnrt in America. No —ib»»y arc not b< r<*. During the Revolution it was not thus. When children had to choose a play gnmnd lin'd war. secure from shells and round shot, it was not thus. There is no boy hood nor girlhood now. 'there is the birth, the baby-hood, manhood, womanhood, and death, these are the epochs which divide a life that— hovers like a slmt Twixt night and morn, I’poir the horizon's veige." Our American hoys are not well grown hoys; they arc homunculi, as Carlyle would say—min iature men dressed upt n Imtles, with luiig-lailed cot.ts, or smart frock <-oals, gloves and canes, and too oft.oi brave in cigar smoke. Their hair, it is long and liianly, their carriage most particularly erect, and to stumble against a curb stone and roll in a little dean dirl would he a calamity. Their laces are grave and thought ful with the throes of nascent manhood; their address prolbttndly /■ah-ulating, and reflecting the wisdom of the incipient man of the world, as if they knew sorrow, and had taken deep, very deep glanchs into that wonderful storehouse ot mysteries, which the day ot judgment alone w ill cleet up—th.- human heart. The girls! How many of them are allowed to give forth the impulses ot' their sensitive na tures! They, too, are little women. They too often do not kiss their manly l-.rothets, much less are they caressed by them. They are little women, deep in the mysteries of the toilet, re dolent of cosmetics, perhaps versed in hem stitching and w orking lace; their very dolls have bustle-, and they, poor things, w ith forms, cast in.'i mould of God’s own workmanship, whose eveiy rill re and every developement is beau ty and loveliness, must wear bustles too. —Hardly do they dam their brother's stock ings, or hem bishand.kerchiets, or delight in the handy-work ol inaking his linen. YVhen half grown they are serious, sober wo men. They dance and sing, and smile, and simper methodically. They walk en stilts, .ir dance w ith evident constraint, and hy-and-by we expect they will not dance at all. We ex pect soon to sec th.- little beings, with eyes fixed alone on I heir neighbor’s deficiencies. Ah! how wrong to check tlie buoyancy, the exhilaration, the joyous outbreak of these young creatures, whether it he in romping, or running, or danc ing, and whether the dancing be to the music of their oven voice.'-, of tlie plana, of the violin, or the harp, or the tabrael, or of a German band, if providentially they might pick one up for love or inotte). This is a dei.-.ni'e, stupid, hypociilict.l, htttn liiiggin:: and vie ate going one oi these days to s. y uton alot’d it. The New York Commercial Advertiser, in publishing the above, adds the following judi cious remarks: “Exaggerated, but not altogether untrue, — Girls and boys are indeed rara arcs among us, hut through the merciful goodness of Provi dence, there are some children yet left. To be sure parents do their possible to convert the children, first into apes and monkeys, by dress ing them up in all manner ol tunics, and Greek capotes, and Scottish tartans, with preposterous caps and tong curling ringlets, and so parading them throng:: the streets to he staredat and leatn lessons of vanity; and worse even than litis, the poor little things ate hurried as fast as possible into the condition of young ladies and gentle men, by the aid of fashionable boaixling-schools for the former, and of billiard-rooms, segar shops with pretty segar girls behind the counters, oyster-saloons, last trotting horses, ctinner-par ties at the Astor, Champagne, brandy-juleps, gold watches, an t unlimited credit with the tailors for the latter. The beginning of the evils is in the misman agement of children. Not one parent in fifty seems to have an idea that children have bod ies for any' oilier purp ses than t» put tine clothes on and go abroad fora show. Infants scarcely out ot the cradle are sent to schools, crammed with ridiculous ologirs and supplied ad libitum with “scier.ce made easy i’or juvenile minds,” instead of being allowed to run about, and tumble heels over head, and learn how to use their limbs and lungs in the fresh air, and to read Mother Bunch, Goixly Two-Slmes and Robinson Crus<x*. Boys arestuffed with Latin and Greek, against the stomach of their sense, before they can either read or write English ; and girls are whit led through a course ofFrencli, Italian, music, algebra metaphysics, concholo gy and for aught we know, neurology, when they ought to be gathering roses lor their cheek's, anil brightness lor their eyes, and vigr i lbr their little legs and arms, and famous apetites for their (linnet’s, by passing at least tour hours of every day, in wholesome out door exercise— getting up with the sun at morning and going to roost with the birds al night. If wc could have our wai tiol a child in the countty under eight year', oi age should see the inside of a scnool-briuse ora school-book. And here, lest the astonished public should be startled out ot all its propriety by doctrines so rnnnstrouslv heretical, »e biingour homily to a elcye. 'Hoinmcrfml. AtOUSTA MARKET.
