Gallantry of an nm
To the Editor of the Vnion :
You have recorded in your columns repeat
ed instances of American valor and hardihood
. -I,:. pH during the late war. But a few
davi since von noticed the affair of San Jose,
in Lower California. About the same time,
the whale ship Magnolia, Capt. B. Simmons,
belonging to Chas. W. Morgan, Esq. of New
Bedford, arrived in port with a full cargo. The
incidents connected with her voyage along the
California coast possess so much interest, and
display the energy, promptitude and courage
ofthe American character, together wi h the
patriotic spirit of our seamen, to such a degree,
that upon becoming acquainted with them 1 re
solved to communicate them to your paper.
As the Magnolia was proceeding down the
coast, at a considerable distance from San Jose,
she was hailed by two or three launches, or
small vessels, full of people. Upon approach
ing nearer, Capt. Simmons discovered that
one of them contained the alcalde of San Jose,
who with others of the best families of the
town, had taken refuse on board these boats.
They informed him that there had been an in
surrection against the United States authority,
and that the Californians had pillaged the town
and commuted numberless outrages, and were
then besieging the priest’s house, which was
the strongest in the place, and was occupied as
a fort by the Americans. It was commanded
by Lieut. Haywood, and defended by only
twenty-five men. The alcalde farther stated
that there had been much firing the day and
night previous, and he knew they must have
nearly exhausted their ammunition, and must
surrender speedily unless immediate assistance
was rendered. Capt. Simmons, upon con
sultation with his officers, resolved to run in at
once to the assistance of the besieged. As he
stood in for an anchorage, when within about
three miles, he saw the Californians ranged
upon a hill, back from the shore. All the men
id the launches were taken on board the ship,
and as many as possible placed upon the house,
and in conspicuous positions, to convey the
impression of a vessel of war. As the Magno
lia rounded to. a gun was fired, her sails furled,
and her anchor dropped about a half a mile
from the shore. A large number of persons
were skulking about obtaining a precarious
subsistence in the bushes which skirted the
——i their lives against the in
surgents.
They castanchor a little before sundown, and
sent off a boat as near the shore as their safety
seemed to allow. An Indian swam off through
the surf to the boat, which had been sent in re
ply to his halloo He brought a message from
Lieut. Haywood, telling him not to land ex
cept with a strong force. This satixfied Capt
Simmons that his ruse had deceived both the
Americans and Californians, and that they both
deemed his vessel a ship of war. That night
he put all his arms in order, and made every
thing ready for landing the next day. On the
morning succeeding he manned five boats, and
proceeded to effect a landing, leaving three of
them lying near the shore as a sort of reserve
to fall back upon in Cose of emergency. The
captain was convinced that if any thing was
done successfully with his small force, it must
be done during the continuance of the decep
tion, which had evidently been communicated
to the insurgents. Taking with him eleven
picked men, well armed with guns and pistols,
Capt Simmons led off into this (to him) un
known country, beset with an enraged and
reckless enemy, his men following him in sin
gle file. The road lay through a thicket of
scrub growth for some two miles, when they
emerged toward the town. The enemy had
withdrawn beyond tho hill, and as they ap
proached the fort, a guard came out to meet
them. Until that moment it was believed in
the fort that a vessel of war had come to their
relief. They were heartily greeted upon their
arrival, and found the occupants of the fort
out of lead, except a few balls, and only two or
three pounds of powder left for their small
arms. A little bread only remained, for the
usa of the women and children in the fortifica
tion, who had sought refuge there from the ex
cesses of their countrymen.
The continual firing night and day for seve
ral days had completely exhausted the brave
little band which was then defending itself
against a largely superior force. That night,
fur the first time they enjoyed some undis
turbed rest.
A letter bad been sent several days previous
ly for assistance, but was intercepted without
the knowledge of Lieut. Haywood. It would
therefore seem that, if Americans ever surren
dered, that small company of marines must
have surrendered before assistance could have
been furnished by a war vessel Upon ascer
taining what was most needed by the garrison,
Capt. Simmons returned to the Magnolia, took
nil his tine powder, some 60 or 70 pounds of
lead, including his deep sea lead, and all the
bread which was wanted at the fort, and with
the assistance ofthe marines, conveyed it to the
fort. The .Magnolia’s deck meanwhile was
covered with men and women who had Hocked
off from the scrub-woods on the shore, where
they had been skulking for shelter. The cap
tain. with hi» accustomed generosity, had given
out word that they could find refuge on board
hiw ship.
The next morning after this, a ship was dis-
passing in the oiling. Capt. Simmons

this was done to assure the people of protection
and safety.and to induce them to return to the
town, and then the whalemen returned to the
beach. But the people besought Lieut. 11.
to detain the ships a few davs for their safety.
This petition was enclosed to Capt. Simmons, se
conded by the request of the officer in command
that they should remain until assistance, then
expected, should arrive. Although their poli
cies were vitiated, and the underwriters dis
charged by their national spirit and humanity,
there was not a moment's hesitation, but the
two master’s acceded to the petition. They
lay there seven or eight days, until the arrival
of a store ship from Mazatlan, with supplies, in
response to a despatch sent alter the Magnolia's

Such instances of patriotic spirit and military
relief on the part of our merchantmen, ought
to be recorded. They deserve the notice of
the department for the encouragement of a
similar spirit ami enterprise.
Tklkgrahhs.—We clip the following from
a long communication to ihr New York Tri
bune, treating upon the various new inventions
and improvements in regard to telegraphing:
Curtiss' instrument, and a very ingenious
one invented by Mr. Johnson of Oswego, we
have never seen, and can form no opinion of
Mr. Johnson has obtained a patent lor his in
strument. We have no doubt that farther im
provement in lelegrapic machinery will be eh
initiated, but as far as we have made examina
tion we give the preference to House's. We
are satisfied that much of the embarrassment
which has been fell upon House's line between
New York and Philadelphia has been the result
of incomplete insulation in the line, ami not of
defects in the instrument. If dorse should
not succeed in obtaining an injunction against
it, we believe it will in time come into general
nse on all lines not in the hands of the paten
tees of Morse’s instrument. In dry weather
when the defects in insulation are of less im
portance, the instruments on the line between
this City and Philadelphia produce the most
perfect results. Messages are written without
error, and as rapidly, or more so. than by
Morse's. Long newspaper despatches of a
thousand words we have seen written with
scarcely an interruption for correction. The
messages came off the instruments ready for
delivery, printed m Roman letters, thus :
• E-N-T-A-Y-1.-O-R-I S U-N-D-O-U-B-T-E I» 1.-Y-E-1.-F
--c-t-k-d ; while Morse’s alphabet is a series of
arbitrary characters, many of them varying
from each other very slightly, and therefore be
ing very liable to error. House's Letter Print
ing Telegraph obtained a gold medal at the
Fair of the American Institute.
It very desirable that tl»o
ed by -S- r s instrument
should be broken up. The extortionate price
demanded lor the use of it. one-half the stock
of each line, and the high tolls thereby made
necessary, and which bear with undue severity
upon the press, renders competition absolutely
necessary.

Public Sentiment the North.
A Boston correspond ofthe New York
“ Observer, ” in a letter which he seeks to
inform the South of the s of public feeling
at the North on the Slavery exten
sion, holds the following.guage, which we
have no doubt is in the rrect:
“Our Southern friends oug, know the state of
things at the North. It is haiget at the truth, so
much do‘*B party and sectufeelings affect our
views. But lam more and i convinced that the
deep, strong, old-fashioned anivery sentiment at
the North is preparing in steady, un
yielding hostility to the extensi'the system. Abo
litionism has been dead and bt sometime. The
old leaders are busy, some at t- things, others at
worse, but Abolitionism as a bug has had its day.
It did net pay. That made it < That will m ike

without plenty of both. And » hat tbiß ism has
burnt itself at its own stake, the en( ant j F | aV ery
sentiment, that respects the righ tbe States, the
Federal Constitution, and the we; ntf ofthe slave,
is rising and swelling and will Q ’itself felt in
power over this great confederacy s lo tbc exten
sion of slavery over territory no ce tbere are
scarcely two opinions. Nine-tenth tbe North are
inflexibly opposed to it. And I ha. en amaze d to
see how far the consequences < f t», ur p( )Se have
been calculated. Grave and revere ien cautious
and prayerful, who would die fir a Pple as readi
ly as they go to bed when weary, wi Ul jy te || ~o n
that they are prepared to see the Ury tbe States
dissolved, be fire they will consent to e xtension of
the curse over soil now free from the o f a slave.
I believe this is the prevalent feelirf t] lc East
and the North. It is not my feeling. irn opposed
to the extension of slavery, but I woL ot dissolve
the Union to prevent it. I think there i.etter rem
edy tiian this, which is no remedy. 1(| 1C North
is resolved, as one man. to have no fur responsi
bility for slavery, ami 1 believe that res^ n will be
carried out at the expense, if necessary , be fed
eral Union. Our Southern brethren t|d know
this, and let us both and all sit down an ca | cu | n te
the value of the Union.” It was once t on p, do
it. It is not treason any longer. Very j patriots
are figuring at it now. It is a long surn tbe an
swers do not agree.”
That the great mass of the peop 0 f tb e
free States, indeed all, are opposed be ex
tension of slavery, we have no snflici rea .
son to doubt—nor do we doubt that th are
numerous uhraists both at the North ; the
South who coolly affect “to calculathe
value ofthe Union.” and unless their par|| ar
fanatical and ultra dogmas are carried o by
the government—would rejoice to see it er
ed. Our reliance, however, for the preda
tion of the Union is not upon such men-ey
in our opinion constitute a small, a very
portion of the great mass in either division*
the republic. The American people as aw e
are eminently conservative in their notions
government, and they desire to maintain .
impaired those institutions which have been
cured by the blood and treasure of a comm
ancestry. It is to the discreet and prudt
counsels of the conservative voters of the i
public, of each and every class of society a
division of the country, that we look for a ha
py termination of this agitating question—
question which has been thrust *pon us by th
lolly and wickedness of a w<ak ami reckies
administration. And our confidence that ou
reliance has not been misplaced upon this largi
class of our population. i's greatly strengthened
by the recent very decided rebuke which has
been administered by then to those in power
—hurling them and thr’e who were pledged
to follow in their footsteps indignantly from the
high places in the government. When the
representatives of sudi a class are in counsel,
3very thing good am prosperous is to be hoped
oriuhl rnnr»<<uMiy anticipated—nothing to
iespaired of. not eve* the republic when the
ssue is the extension ot davprv
Again, the adjustment or pd* question is
easy, notwithstanding the South permitted the
golden moment to pass unimproved when she
could have dictated her own terms—and when
such is the case, and the representatives of a
patriotic, conservative constituency are to ad
judicate it. who can doubt the issue, especially
when s » much of liberty and justice and equal
rights is involved ? We have said its settle
ment is easy. It is so, so long as wisdom and
justice and moderation shall guide our Con
gressmen. Because they have it in their pow
er and it is their duty as patriots and Americans
to repeal the law of .Mexico by which slavery
is now prohibited in the territories of New
Mexico and California. Such an act would
leave the territory free to all classes of citizens
from every section of the Union, who iniglr
properly settle the question whether slavery
should exist therein when those territories be
come States of the Confederacy. This won <1
be an act of even handed justice to every citi
zen of the Republic, and although we have ao
doubt Irotn the character of the country, slave
ry would be as effectually excluded as it now
is by Mexican law. or as it could be by any
legislative enactment of an American Congress,
yet such an act isdue to justice, to patriotism,
to the South, and the whole Union, and would
fully satisfy tin entire South, save perhips a
few discontented spirits who would like to see
the Union severed.
In our opinion, therefore, the termination of
our existence as a confederacy of free ami in
dependent States is not so rear at hand as fana
tics and uhraisis. both at the North ami South,
would persuade us. There is too much in the
history of the past to bind us together as with
chains of adamant, to permit such a question to
sever our glorious brotherhood. Aye. and too
much in the golden anticipations of an ever
gilded future for us to sutler factiomsts and
demagogues, who desire to revel in their coun
try’s ruin. to mar the bright prospects which
that future continues to unfold to our view.
It behooves, therefore, the patriots of the land,
of the North and the South and the East and
West, to stand forth as a band of brothers, the
constant and ever faithful champions of liberty
and American institutions, and to rebuke in
dignantly ultraism and fanaticism in whatever
form or shape it may assume, whether it be a
” Free Soil" or a •• Southern Convention.”

THE ELECTION!
Illinois.
The latest we have from the election in this
State, is the following despatch to the N. York
I Journal of Commerce
Chicago, Nov. 13—10 P. M.
Fifty-nine counties have been heard from. —
Whig gain 9,336 —40 counties to be heard
from—Taylor has probably carried the State.
Delaware. —Houston (Whig) is elected to
Congress from this State.
Massachusetts—Winthrop, Duncan, Ash
iniin, Rockwell, Mann, Fowler and Granell
are elected to Congress from Massachusetts.
No choice in the third district.
New York.—The Democrats ami Free Soil
men have but 20 members in the New York
legislature out of one hundred and sixty. Van
Buren and Cass run very close in New York,
not known yet which beats.
Pennsylvania.—Taylor has a slight majori
ty over both Cass and Van Buren in.this State.
Wisconsin.—We have returns from all but
six counties in this State. The majority for
General Cass will be about 1,500.
If the following list of Congressmen elect
from Wisconsin is correct, each parlv elects a
member in that State. It is taken from a de
spatch from Milwaukie to the Detroit Adverti
ser, of the 11th inst. According to this, the
members elect are as follows :
1. Charles Durkee. Free Soil.
2. Orsamus Cole, Whig.
3. Jas. Duane Doty, Cass.
A later despatch dated Milwaukie, Nov. 13,
says:
All but six counties heard from. Cass has
the State by about 1,500 majority.
lowa.—The editors ofthe Buffalo Republic
received a telegraphic despatch on Saturday
night, from Milwaukie, which states that the
way-bill of the Western stage, just in, has the
endorsement that lowa has gone for Taylor.
The same despatch states that Van Buren
has as many, if not more, votes in Wisconsin,
than Cass. This, if so, gives the State to Geu.
Taylor. Later despatches, however, do not
confirm these reports.
lu Ohio it is conceded that the Cass ticket has
a majority of fifteen thousand majority.
Indiana is still considered doubtful by some,
but the general belief is that Cass has carried
that State.
Florida.—A despatch from Macon, an
nounces a majority for Taylor in Florida so
large as to induce a belief that the information
is incorrect as to numbers, but leaving no
doubt that the State has gone decidedly for the
Whig candidate.
At the Slate election in Delaware yesterday,
the Whig ticket triumphed throughout, that
party having elected their Governor, Legisla
ture, and member of Congress.
Massachusetts.—The State elections in
Massachusetts have resulted in the election of
Briggs, the Whig candidate for Governor, by a
large majority. Messrs. Winthrop, Ashman
and Rockwell, have been elected to Congress;
No choice in the other districts.
Michigan—The majority for Cass in this
State is comp iled to be about seven thousand.
Pennsylvania.—lt is now thought the total
majority for Taylor in Pennsylvania will amount
to thirteen thousand.
Ohio.—Our correspondent still keeps to the
figure of fifteen thousand majority for Cass in
this State.
New-York.—The Free Soil voters in New
York have given Van Buren a majority over
Cass. No mention is made as lo the votes for
the several candidates.
Fro/n the Savannah Republican.
The South Carolina Movement.
Several meetings have been held in South
Carolina recently and inflammatory resolutions
pul forth, for the purpose of getting up a great
Southern convention. Various political jour
nals in that State, and one or two in this, ap
prove of these proceedings, and call upon the
South to come together in solemn council.—
We are told that our institutions are in danger,
that our rights will be sacrificed, our hearths
invaded, and our property filched from us. A
violated constitution is held up. universal ruin
predicted,civil war, burning houses, flying fe
males, and desolate fields, are conjured up and
presented to the excited imagination. What
good is to come of this extraordinary move
ment, we are unable to see. These self-ap
pointed sentinels on the watch-tower of South
ern rights, may fancy they see an imaginary
enemy ready to scale the wails and enter the
citadel, and therefore conclude that we, the be
sieged party, should call a council of war. So
when Don Quixote from afar beheld a cloud
~ of dust occasioned by a large flock of sheep, he
r turned to Sancho Panza and gravely informed
» mn that an army of giants was advancing, and
\at they must prepare for the conflict. Re
living that he saw a host of the huge sons of
Ai*k approaching, he would not listen to San
cho w'ao assured him that they were not giants,
but advanced and Vigorously charged among
the iniiocent flock—for which be was most
righteously belabored by the indignant shep
herds. So it is with our friends across the riv
er. They have fora long time played the part
of the Don Quixote of political chivalry, and
nstead of meeting the real enemies of the
lOnm, m*. »•■«.<• niiiiM<ai>«wuu mi*-
<»i imaginary foes. It is high time that they
slnull look at things soberly and seriously and
not Grever play the part of alarmists, crying
wolf! wolf! when there is no wolf.
Whenever real danger conies we shall be
readyto act as becomes a freeman of the South
whose destijy is his destiny and whose
fate is iis fate. But at present we see no
adequte cause for this contemplated move
ment. The little cloud which hung over the
Northen horizon four weeks since, has disap
pearedbefore the new risen sun. The Presi
dent el«ct is Zachary Taylor, and under him
we fear do danger. With his great heart for a
•hield and his stout arm to protect us. we in
dulge no ille fears that our rights will be tram
pled undeifoot. Indeed, if there were danger,
the course of the Carolina ullraists can have no
other etfec but to hasten it. We might go far
ther and sa;, it iscalculated to produce the very
evils whicl they deprecate. And above all
Sooth Caroina is the last Slate in the South
which slniuU take the initiative in such a move
ment. A Southern and a Northern candi
date was presented to her in the late canvass
-—the one a shveholder. the other the reviler
and opponenttn principle of slavery. Though
ihe assumed champion of Southern rights. she
distrusted the former and cast her vote for a
man who acknowledges that he was once anx
ious to vote for the Wilmot proviso. In addi
tion to this, the leading political journal in that
State the Ch irleston .Mercury considered Mr.
Polk’s conduct in signing the Or gon bill with
the proviso at tic bed to it. as highly “ patriotic.”
The Northern States had receded from the
Missouri compromise, had declared that they
would submit to no line of division, and that
slavery should nerer be introduced into unv
new Territory. North or South of the parallel
36 deg. 30 sec. In view of this fact the Presi
dent should have disregarded the old compro
mise. ifißsmuch as the other party to it had al
ready done so; for in giving his sanction to the
Proviso, under these circumstances. he surren
dered the constitutionality of the whole ques
tion. And yet South Carolina and the Charles
ton .WercMry approve of Mr. Polk s course as
being •• patriotic,” and vote for Lewis Cass
who has endorsed all the acts of his administra
tion ! This is the State and these the men who
would be the guardians of the South, who
they seem to think is still in her swaddling
clothes. This is the party, chagrined by its late
defeat, that would relight the fire-brand which
had so happily been quenched by the election
of Gen. ’Pay lor. One would think the natural
vision of Carolina politicians, like certain glasses
inverted every thing that came within its range.
Whatever may be the course of others, we
hope the people of Georgia will remain firm in
their present position. We have nothing to
gain by such a movement and everything to
lose, his premature, ill-advised and danger
ous. When evil comes, let us meet it—but do
not seek or provoke it.
War. War. Horrid War.—There is quite
a military sensation in the city to-day. Crowds
fiirffifgfng - round vnprnYn rmp
nolly’s recruiting quarters, at the corner of St.
Charles and Poydras street, anxious to signal
ize themselves in the defence of the Y’uca
tanese people, and it is to be presumed equally
anxious to earn eight dollars a month, good ra
tions. and a farm of 360 acres of land in per
spective. It may be safely surmised that these
I latter requisites form a very essential constitu
ent part of that most (incorporeal and air-born

From the Cape of Good Hope.—The Bos
ton Journal has Cape Town papers to Sep
tember Ist. Sir Harry Smith, Governor of
the colony, was prosecuting the war against
the rebel boors with vigor. On the 22<i he '
passed the Orange river, the enemy falling j
back in disorder upon Wmburg, leaving the
passage uncontested.
In the Caledon district 500 families had been
forced from their houses. The passage of the
army inspired confidence among the well dis
posed.
The pontoon used by Sir Harry Smith, in
crossing the Orange river, was of American
invention, consisting of six cylindrical India
rubber tubes, about five feet in circumference
and twenty feet in length. They were inflated
on the same principle as life preservers. From
thirty-six to forty men were taken across on
lais pontoon at each trip, without accident.
I An Inquest was held yesterday over the
bodies of Patrick Welsh and Bridget Hannan,
who were found dead yesterday morning in the
house of Patrick Hannan, the husband of the
deceased woman. We learn that the jury ren
dered a verdict of wilful murder. Patrick
Hannan, who was found in the house, was ar
rested ami committed to jail. The circum
stances attending the killing and discovery of
the deceased are of a peculiar character, and
forbid any comments on our part. The whole
matter will of course undergo a judicial inves
tigation.—Sar. Republican.

IRISH POTATOE.
From the Laurensvitle, (S. C.) Herald.
Mr. Editor:—ln looking over the Patent
Office Reports. I see a paper translated from
the German by E. G. Smith, on the cultivation
of Potatoes. As it contains useful matter, and
many of your readers may not see that work.
I send you a condensed abstract. Although
the Irish potatoe is not an esculent of so much
importance with us, as it is in the Northern
Slates and Northern Europe, yet every farmer
has his patch, and we would find our table
comforts materially lessened, if we were with
out it. And it may even happen that it will
hereafter become one of our marketable pro
ductions. since so far as I know we are yet
exempt from the rot. or potatoe disease, so de
structive North, as in Ireland, actually to have
produced a famine. Already, early in the
spring, the Southern seaboard furnishes the
Northern cities with a considerable amount.
The following table shows the comparative re
sults, for two years* oj’different kinds of ma-
Each had the same quantity, and the same kind
of manure both years:
FtrstPlot.—Without manure, 36 pounds in 1945,
and 53 pounds in 1546.
Second Plot.— With 52 pounds of cow dung, 47
pounds in 1345 and 70 pounds in 1346.
Third Plot. —With 52 pounds of horse dung, 41
pounds in 1345 and 64 pounds in 1346.
Fourth Plot.—With 52 pounds of hog dung, 40
pounds in 1345 and 59 pounds in 1346.
Sixth Plot.—With 52 pounds ot vegetable mold,
3S pounds in 1345 and 51 pounds in 1346.
Eighth Plot—With 35 pounds poudrette, 40
pounds in 1545 and 57 pounds m 1346.
Thirteenth Plot.—W uh 12 ounces of saltpetre, 37
peunds in 1345 and 76 pounds m 1346.
Fo hteenth Plot. —Wuh 14 ounces of potash,
c’ :f - 051 pounds in 1345 and 66 pounds in 1846.
. exteenth Plot. —With 15 >unces of gypsum,
35 pounds m 1845 and 49 pounds iu 1346.
The potatoe disease was found least in the
unmanured plots, and greatest where gypsum
was used, which continued moist after the other
plots were dry. It was also greater in the ma
t nured plots, than where no manure was used.
Hence Hlubek supposes that putrescent ma
[ nures and moisture increase the disease—(six
pounds were planted in each of the above plots.)
Next is an experiment to show the induence
ot the seed potatoes on the
. product. Five rows, manured with well rotted
cow duug. were planted. 2 rows with 60 whole
' tubers (roots.) 2 with 60 halves. 2 with 60
' quarters. 2 with 60 eves with desh. and 2 with
60 eyes without fiesh. The result was as
4 follows :
f- 60 whole tubers, weighing 6 pounds, yielded 69
pounds.
r. 60 halt tubers, weighing 3 pounds, yielded 63
e «ounds.
it . quarter tubers, weighing I* pounds, yielded
5 pounds.
eyes with flesh, weighing 17 ounces, yielded
* 5) pounds.

Besides this, analysis has shown that th.

grown from divided and are also less
liable to be diseased
Hlnbek also proved by experiment that large
tubers, over 2?< did not produce a« well
as smaller, lie gives about three-fourths of
an ounce as the best size for planting. Ihe
potatoes grown from small tubers proved also
to be less liable to the rot, than those grown
from larger ones. To sum up-these experi
ments prove, that cow pen manure and potash,
(I suppose ashes would do as well ) are the
best mannres-that cutting up the tubers les
sens the prodnet-that from 10 to 12 inches
is the proper distance to plant in the drill, and
that much closer is not only a waste of seed,
but lessens the product, and finally that tubers
weighing about three-fourths of an ounce, are
better for seed than larger-Franklin.

The carpet ofthe spring isnot yetgrown,
Like 1 senmed sear upon a closing wound.
A stranger’s, from the land of frost and enow -
\ I,lie e/ed vouthful mother’s, who in vain
Came here to drink the healing gales which blow
In Southern skies, but ne’er went home again.
Poor child ! from kindred and from friends removed-
A lilly in a she loved
Know y scsrcely where their wither’d flow’r is lying.
Her Northern heart loved well its mother eartb-
The valleys where she drew her earliest breath ;
Her eyes turned ever to Us place of birth,
And sought the pole star till it closed >n death.
So young, so fair, so formed for earthly bliss-
Now oily dust, and m a foreign land 1
Not even allowed in death once more to kiss
A mother’s lip—to press a father s hand.
’Tis said within the royal halls they live
Os our great countrymen, the Northern King I
He loves and honors them, and fain would give
Some comfort to the parents sorrowing.
Who can give comfort I—neither kings nor slaves,
Thou mother heart, to sorrow such as thine ;
Which, like the quenchless lamp in Roman graves,
Burns undiscovered in its secret shrine.
Bind a green wreath, upon her grave to lay,
From the majestic oaks which round ns stand;
She knows the leaves, and in a happier day
Has twined such garlands in her father land.
Not so;—of lillies will I bind the wreath,
White as the snow upon her mountain home;
While as the marble of her cheek in death—
White is death’** hue, green speaks of hope to come.
Yes green belongs to hope : let both unite ;
A Uhristian mourner cannot know despair ;
The green oak garland and the chaplet white
Lav side by side. How sad and yet how fair !
Come Southern flowers, and twine above her grave
Emblems of pity, which to grief are dear;
Stand here, wild brier! and ihy pile blossoms wave ;
Forget-me-not, stand thou and sorrow here!
Ye winds of heaven, breathe a gentle sigh
Above the tomb, where now she rests from pain ;
And let the murmuring billows softly die
Upon the shore they bore her to in vain.
“INDIAN NAMES.”
Y’esay, they all have passed away,
I’hat noble race and brave,
That their light canoes have vanished
From off the crested wave;
That ’mid the forests where they roamed
There rings no hunter’s shout;
But their name is on your waters —
You may not wash it out.
’Tis where Ontario’s billow,
Like ocean’s surge is curl’d,
Where strong Niagara’s thunders wake,
The echo of the world ;
Where red Missouri bringeth
Rich tributes from the West,
And Rappahannock sweetly sleeps,
On green Virginia’s breast.
Ye say, their cone like cabins,
That clustered o’er the vale.
Have fled away like withered leaves,
Before the autumn gale !
But their memory livethon your hills,
Their baptism on your shore,
Your everlasting rivers speak
Their dialect of yore.
Old Massachusetts wears it
Within her lordly crown,
And broad Ohio bears it
Amid her young renown ;
Connecticut hath wreathed it
Where her quiet foliage waves,
And bold Kentucky breathed it hoarse
Through all her ancientcaves.

Doth heal the sacred trust,

AUG VST A MARKET.
Weekly Report Tuesday, P. M.
COTTON. —The absence for the past ten days of
the arrival of a steamer from Liverpool has caused
considerable speculative feeling amongst our planters
and dealers in the staple, and a great majority of the
former have come to the conclusion that the article can
not be afforded al the prices at which it has ruled for
the past month, and that they would keep back their
crops from market until some change for the better
takes place. This conclusion has induced many dea
lers in the article to enter the market, believing that
they would adhere to their resolution, and that al
though the crop would induce them to believe that the
receipts would far exceed those of last year, yet they
now believe that unless prices advance very conside-
These views may seems not to be justified by the in
crease already shown in our tables below,but it must be
remembered, our crop this year is at least one month
earlier than last, and the picking season an uncom
monly fair one.
The receipts so far this season amount to-143,382
against 281,892 bales at same time la*t year. The
excess is at all the receiving points «avc Florida and
Virginia. The former is caused by the low state ot
the Chattahoochee and Flint rivers from whence
most of their supplies are received. The stock on
hind shows an increase ot 72,944 bales, and the ex
ports now amount to 3 Jb.372 against 215,074 bales
last year, the falling off being only confined to the
exports to France which show a deficiency of 9.338
bales.
In our market durinff the past week there has been
a good demand and as the receipts were li-zht and the
stock offering smalt prices have gradually stiffened
and all the lots offered are sold at slightly ad
vancing rates, the demand has not been confined to
any particular description; t»utall qualities have met
with ready sale. Among 5 ? the sales reported below
was a crop lot of 240 bales Middling Fair at 5 3-16.
This was considered on extra price and the order of
the packages and umfuratty o: size was an addition

amount to 4,178 bales a. the following rates: 16 at

been a considerable falling off in the demand for all
descriptions of merchandize during the past week,
as the country merchants are buying very sparingly
from the difficulties they have in making their col
lections —and the retail trade has fallen off very con
siderably owing to the very few planters who have
come to market.
BAGGING and BALE ROPE—No change in the
price of this article. The demand continues good,
and the stock on hand is getting very much reduced.
SALT.—Sales of about 1200 sacks have been
made from the wharf at 1.50 per sack ; retail price is
now from 1.62 Jto 1.75. Bulk Salt continues to be
sold at retail at 50 cents. Upwards of 10,000 sacks
of Salt arrived in Savannah and Charleston during
the past week.
MOLASSES.—This article is getting scarce.—
Sales of small lots have been made from the Wharf at
26 cents.
LIQUORS.—The demand for all descriptions of
Liquors has fallen off very considerably; N. O.
Whiskey is sold from 23 a3O cents per gallon. The
supply of all descriptions fully equal to the demand.
COTTON MANUFACTURES.—Yard wide
sheeting, 6| ; 30 inch shirting, 5| cts.; Cotton Yarns,
13 a 14 cts. All sold on 6 months credit, or 5 per
cent, off for cash.
EXCHANGE.—Checks on the North, J per cent,
prem. On Charleston, Savannah, and all the in
terior towns, par. Our Banks take bills on the North,
at interest off for the time to run. Bills on Savan
nah and Charleston, interest and } per cent, discount.
Our Banks are all in a good situation to do business,
and negotiations are made with great ease.
STOCKS.—2S Shares Mechanics’ Bank Stock
sold at SI 10 per share, and a few thousand dollars
State 7 per cent. Bonds at par.
FREIGHTS. —Our river is in good order for our
light draft Steamers. Our large Boats come up as
high as Bugg’s Bar. Shipments of Cotton to Savan
nah are heavy, whilst to Charleston by the Rail Road
they are very light.
SAVANNAH, Nov. 15.—Cotton. —Arrived since
the7thinst., 11,863 bales Upland (1,636 bales from
Augusta, 2 from Florida, 6,182 per Railroad, and 43

for same period have been 6,328 bales Upland, viz •
to Liverpool 3,775 bales Upland, to Boston 485 bales
Upland, to New York 1,815 bales Upland, and to
Charleston 253 bales Upland—leaving a stock on

Upland, and 1,219 do Sea Island, against 7,601 bales
Upland and 664 do. Sea Island at same time last year.
The receipts since Ist September exceed those of
last year 44,857 bales, and the exports 25.202 bales.
On the day following the close of our last weekly
report, the feeling in the market was in favor of the
buyer; the sales amounted to about 1,200 bales. On
Thursday there was a fair inquiry, and the market
became settled ata decline of an |c. from our last
quotations. The sales of the day were 1,200 bales.
In the evening of that day we received later foreign
advices by the America at New York. Though these
accounts are discouraging, there is so small a slock
on our market that no decline has been noticed since
the America arrived. The sales on Friday amounted
to 1.100 bales, on Saturday 1,500 bales, on Monday
750 bales, yesterday wasthe most active day of the
week, and about 1000 bales changed hands. We
revise our quotations, at which rates the market closes
firm. We quote: Inferior—a —; Ordinary to Good

CHARLESTON, Nov. 17.— Cotton.— The Cot
t»'u market the preceding week had been unfavora
bly influenced under the advices brought out by the
steamer Hibernia, so much so indeed that when we
closed our inquiries, preparatory to the publication of
our report, prices, it will be remembered, had suffered
a reduction of J to fc. on all grades, bringing mid
dling fair down to s|, and fair and fully fair to 5g a
s|c. There was a general attendance of buyers on
the market on Friday last —the first day of the pre
sent week—and the demand, which, as the day ad
vanced, became quite active, was freely in*’t by sell
ers, and at the cl<*e of business upwards of 2700 bales
had changed hands at the quotations of that morning.
Th* transactions of Saturday and Monday were com
paratively light, amounting in the aggregate to about
1900 bales; previous prices, however, were well sus
tained. Some activity prevailed on Tuesday, which
resulted in the sale of upwards of 1900 bales, without
any perceptible change in the general features of
the market, except this increase in j J * , **°“ J f ° r .
ther heavy than otherwise, extending as they did to
near 2200 bsles, and prices during the day were not
only full, but the transactions would occasionally ex
hibit even an upward tendency in prices, and such
was also the case yesterday. The business done was
| ar g e —2soo bales—and owing to the position which
| holders had assumed, buyers, in order to execute
1 their orders, were compelled to yield. We have,
1 however, no quotable advance to record, but in con
tinuing the quotations of the 10th inst., would remark
i that the more receut transactions were in most in
stances at our outside figures, or in other words sell
ers may be said to have obtained a slight advantage
i over purchasers. The receipts of the week amount
to 14,910 bales, and the sales in the same time foot
up 11 000 bales, as follows : —79 bales at 4| ; 41 at

Corn—Some 400 bushels country have been re

Flour The Flour market has been very quiet dm*
ing the week, our bakers having supplied themselves
from the large auction sale of Western the previous
week. The receipts of the week comprise 250 bbls,
from Baltimore, and 140 do. by the Railroad. About
150 barrels of the former were retailed out in small lots

transactions, inconsequence of the absence of all in
quiry for the article
Lard.— Nothing doing.
Groceries. — There is literally speaking nothing
doing in the leading articles comprised under this
head, either in the wholesale or retail way. We
have never known, at this season of the year, such a
complete stagnation in the Grocery market.
Lagging —Demand limited.
Hope. — We have no change to record in prices,
and continue to quote extremes 9 a 10c ; the bulk of
the transactions, which have been light, have been
at 9$ and 9} cents.
Bomestic Liquors.— We have no transactions of
consequence to report. There is very little, if any
New Orleans Whiskey in first hands. Holders are
asking advanced rates, and indeed a small lot of 40
barrels was sold at 25c. per gallon.
Exchange. — Bills on England nominal; Bills on

Checks on Philadelphia A per cent, piem.; Checks

51.25 per tierce; and to New York s*l6thsfor the
former and 87 Jc. per tierce for latter.
SAVANNAH. Nev. 20.— Cotton.— The sales of
Cotton on Saturday were only 342 bales at 5 to s|c.,
no change in prices. The day was a bad one for bu
siness, as it rained quite hard all day.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 11, P. M.— Weekly Re
port. — Cotton. — The good demand noticed in our
Review of Wednesday last has continued since, and
the sales reached 7500 bales on Thursday and 5000
on Friday. This morning the accounts by the Ame
rica were made public and although they show a fur
ther decline of jd., they have not affected our market,
on the contrary the demand has been active and the
sales reach 4500 bales, making a total for the week
of 27,000 bales. The purchases have again been for
the North and for Europe. The demand is chiefly on
Middling and qualities below that grade for England,
and Good Middling to Fair for Spain and the North.
These last named qualities are proportionally scarce.

iS’ug’ar.—The demand has continued languid, and
the sales of the past three days do not exceed 400
hbds., making a total for the week of 850 hhds., the
market closing very heavily. The demand has been
for fair to prime, the ordinary qualities being neglect
ed. We quote: Inferior 2J s 2J, fair 3J a 3f, com
mon 3 a 3}. and prime 4 a 4jc. A crop of Terre
aux- Boeufs was sold at 4c.
Molasses.— The demand has been less active, and

ingly dull, and no buyers could be found at 22c.
Flour. — The sales during the past three days reach
6000 bbls., making a total for the week of 15,000 bbls.
Prices have undergone no change: good shipping
brands rule at $4.87 Ja 4 90, and choice marks at $5
a 5.12 J. A laige portion of the arrivals has been for
reshipment to the North. We notice that factors are
selling well-known brands without inspection, which,
saving in the charges, will be an inducement to the
millers to keep up the character of their brands.
Corn. — The demand up to to-day has been active,
and 35.000 sacks have been sold at 56 a 57c. for old,
and 44 a 4 >c. for new. To-day purchasers having
filled all their freight engagements, are insisting on a
decline, and we have heard of the sale of only 1400

to-dav.
Whisky.— Some 1000 bbls, have been sold since
our last, mostly on private terms with the exception
sos 63 bbls, at 21c. The demand is very limited which
will best be seen by the exports.

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURE.
EDITED BY DANIEL LEE, M.D*
Illustrated with numerous elegant and costly
Engravings.
TERMS.—ONE DOLLAR PER ANNUM,
IN ADVANCE.
The character and object of the SOUTHERN
CULTIVATOR arc so well known, wherever it has
been read, that the Publishers deem it scarcely ne
cessary to say anything in reference thereto in sub
mitting a Prospectus, for the SEVENTH VOLUME.
To establish an
AGRICULTURAL JOURNAL
worthy of the South, and her varied and diversified
products, industry and resources, has been their
highest ambition; and although their efforts have been
but poorly rewarded, they flatter themselves their
labor has not been in vain. The services of an
Editor, Dr. LEE, one of the first practical and scien
tific Agriculturists in the Union, have been secured
at a heavy expense; and the work is embellished by
a most accomplished Artist, whose labors are exclu
sively devoted to its illustration. Indeed, no effort nor
expense has oeen spared to render the work most
useful and instructive to those for whose exclusive
benefit it is designed. Having performed fully, as
we think, our duty, it remains to be seen whether
the Planters of the South will “ put their shoulders
to the wheel” and aid us and themselves in this great
work of improving the husbandry and meliorating
the social condition of the whole people. We think
they will, and it isour confidence in their intelligence
and liberality which has sustained us through years
of unrewarded toil. The Work should be in the
hands of and read by every one who has the charge
of a family in the Southern States; and to show how
earnest we are in our desire to excite an effort among
our friends to extend its circulation and usefulness,
we offer the following splendid Premiums to those
who may interest themselves in procuring subscribers:
$750 in Premiums.
§2*; J For the highest number of subscriber , not less
than one hundred, sent by any one individual, a
premium of twenty-five dollars.
For the next highest number, not less than
eighty, twenty dollars.
For the next highest number, not less than
sixty, fifteen dollars.
«For the next highest number, not less than
fifty, ten dollars.
For the next highest number, not less than
forty, five dollars.
These Premiums will be paid in the most approve
Agricultural works, and will apply to each of the fol
lowing named ten States, viz : North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama.
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas. So that
each State may secure an entire list of premiums, if
the friends of Agriculture bestir themselves. They
will receive the work at the Club price.
The premiums to be awarded on the first day of
February, 1849.
All persons who desire to enter the list for Pre
miums must notify us on forwarding the first names.
