An article, in a late number of the Edinburgh
Jb vicw, gives some curious and instructive facta
in reference to the agriculture of France ;«nd Great
Britain. The former country, in ie of having
Ihe finest climate, actually produces less, per
lure, than the latter, for while the average yield
of wheat in France is thirteen and a half bushels to
the acre, in the United Kingdoms it is twenty-eight
bushels.
The cause of this inferiority is the comparatively
, ,vi nly farming of France. Though Great Britain
ha- one.fourth lesr. population and noil, the number
«ft cattle in that kingdom is marly ce alto those in
tiie empire. The results are t . mid. Firstly, a
much smaller proportion of the soil in France is laid
dow n in those pastures, roots and artificial grasses,
•j ' d in raising cattle; and, secondly, the supply of
natural and artificial manures is much less abundant
than in Great Britain. Moreover, the rotation in
♦•tops being less perfect I y understood and practiced,
alwiiit <Mi«* eighth of the urrablc land is left fallow
* a«‘h year. In the British isles,out of about forty
m . million* of acres under cultivation, thirty-six
imili**ns are devoted to growing food lor live stock,
and but ten millions to food for man . but in France
twenty millions only are given to ameliorating
crop .while the exhausting crops, or those which
give food to man, occupy forty millions. Witli
b w. r acre* under cultivation, therefore, France
could rais*- more wheal, if her agriculture was more
scientific.
France, taken as a whole, produce* almut eight
dollars an acre , England, sixteen. The animal
pioduce of an English farm is equal to the total
•lof a French farm of similar size. The value of
land in England average* two huudred dollars per
a« t « in France, it average* otdy about one huu

including fowls. li*h, eggs and cheese, as well as
meat proper, i.< but out -sigbtli of a pemnd daily, or
b.'ucly one-ttiird of that iu England. There is no
doubt that the climate requires less animal food in
the former country than in the latter ; but still this
disparity is excessive. Two hundred years ago,
the agriculture of France was far more advanced
than licit of England. During the seventeenth cen
tury the former country constantly exported corn to
the lnt b'i . But from tho time of the great warn of
Bonis XIV., the agriculture of France has stood
co! ii jiat at i vely stationary, while that of Great Bri
tain Ims been improving ever since the close of her
civil w ir- Unsettled governments, the drain of
in* n for the army, and the impoverishment caused
I»y long wars, have produced the evils in the one

Illiic Ridge Railroad.
WV learn that President Frost and Chief Engi
m nr G Wynne, of the Blue Bulge Railroad, wen: eii-
o ll j .d at Anderson U. 11., from the l»tli to the loth
im i . i.i examining proposals for contracts and in
('losing contract*, according to offers, for the bridg
ing and tunneling of this great work. The compe
tition and attendance of parties offering to under
take, on good and responsible terms, were encour
aging, and proposals were received from expo
,i;i ~J and well approved contractors from Penn
sylvania, Viiginiu, North Carolina and Georgia, as
well nr South Carolina. The Stump House tunnel
the largest on the liue—was let to George Collyer,
who had acquired a good experience and success in
till* branch in England before undertaking any
works in America. Hi? has since met equal success
and approval, and has executed many difficult con
tracts in tunneling for Railroads in Pennsylvania;
ami his offers to the Blue Ridge Company are
vouched by strong testimonials.
'/’he “Saddle” and “ Middle ’ tunnels were given
j. M«.-ms. Lincoln and Ilumline, Virginia contrac
tors, who also bring the most satisfactory guaran
te» and recommendation*. A responsible citizen
of Georgia, who has shown adequate energy und
resources in othir contracts fortius work, has un
dertaken a tunnel iu Georgia, and for another an of
ti r has been received from a resident in Georgia,
whose terms will no doubt be accepted by Colonel
<1 wymie, who has proceeded to the site ot the con
tract. These two gentlemen here referred to have
proved efficient and reliable contractor* in all other
branches of Railroad work, and from the guarantee*
they offer, there is every reason to believe that they
will succeed wit limit disappointment or delay in
their contracts for tunneling.
Satisfactory offers from experienced and able con
tractors have been closed with for the bridging and
masonry at2t» Mile and *~!3 Mile (‘reeks, between
Vnderson mid Pendleton, ami for Seneca River and
Cum* Creek. The rates accepted in nil eases have
been as low ns could be expected from, responsible

Col. G Wynne ha* decided in favor of temporary
trestling for X*(» and 'Si Mile Creeks, to lie used tor

newca when the contract Bridging shall be comple
ted. The cost of these expedient* will be fully re
paid, it is calculated, in the saving of freight, and
the facilities afforded to the road construction.
The cross ties have been engaged, and iron order
ed for the construction of the road from Anderson
to ‘,’ii Mile Creek, a distance of six miles, and under
the energetic supervision of Col. Gwynne and the
new contractors, the work geueially is exnertcd to

Cost ok Royalty.—The Liverpool Association,
• oinposrd ot merchants in that city, have* published
various financial reform tracts From one late
ly issiu il, eirlled “the Royal Household, a mod
•■I to Parliament ami tin* Nation," republished
111 part ill the New York Tribune, eve make some
extracts, showing the amount paid to the Queen.
In December, 1837, Parliament settled on the
Queen lb* life the sum of £385,000 a year—with
£ lOJHMI additional for "home secret service mon
tv' The particular application of the money was
provided for by the statute 1 as follows: I. For her
Majesty's private* purse, £00,500. 2. For salaries
fur her household, £131,200. 3. Kxiienscs of the
household, (i. e. what Paddy would call “the best of
•at mu’ ami drinking,"! £17:2,500. Royal bounty,
alms and sp« rial services, £13,000. ,V Pensions to
the extent of £ 1,200. 6. I'nappropriated moneys,
£7,0-10.
What is called “Tin* Civil List" ot Ireland and ot
Se..tland add £115,000 per annum to the £385,000
in question the Duchy of Lancaster also yields
r i *,OOO per annum net addition to the Queen's in
. there is £38,000 extra every ye ar from the
I >itchy of Cornwall, (which ought to be, but is not
ke pt tor the future use <vf the Prince* ot Wales, to
whom it belongs,) and there are also animal aeees
•>ii» sof rev« nue from tin* Countie s Palatine of
I heater and Dunham, the amounts of which can on
ly be approximated by striking an average. On the
whole, however, independent of the waifs which oc
casionally fall into the Queen's lan from other sour
«t s, (for instance, she is heir to all persons without
le gal heirs, who die intestate in any part of her
l-'.mpiiv,) Quee n Victoria's annual income is £fills,-
imo, or nearly douWe what even George IN" luxuria
ted upon.
She* has like-wise the use of various palaces, which
are kept in re pair at the* public exist. When she'
travels by land it is at no cost, and when by sea the
Admiralty furnish hear a steam yacht, man and pro
vision it.
I Vince Albert was allowed by Parliament,
£30,000 as the- Queen’s husband, in addition
to which, he* receives emoluments from different of
fices given him by the Queen, amountingto £99,000
|tv the* above* figures, it will be seen that
the- Queen and Prince Albert cost the British
Government, tor their personal aml domestic

The Circassian Demand for Independence.—
\\ hen the Circassians, on receiving the- nows of the
conclusion e»f peace, learned that nothing had bee*n
stipulate d for them, and that nothing was changed
in their condition, tlu-y displayed a good deal of
agitation, and four or five thousand of them assem
bled at Anapa. There a deliberation tend* place bo

be pve rented to the Sultan, to tin- Kinperor Napo

de* 1 that H should be sent off by a deputation of
twelve I’ircassins.
The address says that from the beginning of the
war up lei the present time not a single Russian had
appeal e-el «*n the Circassian territory, and that dur

Thk Kansas Tkocihks. —The accounts that
come from Kaunas of tin* renewed troubles there
are so exaggerated by correspondents that but lit
tle reliance can be placed therein. We have looked
in vain for any detail of the recent proceedings that
did not bear upon its face the evident determination
of the writer to make the facts subservient to his
feelings. ()f all correspondents, thsoe in Kansas
seem to be most thoroughly given over to lying.
The only facts seem to be unquestioned arc that the
whole of the pretended Free State officers have
been indictctl lor treason. That Governor Robiu
son and Reeder fled to avoid arrest., and that the
former was seized at Lexington, Missouri, and
would be returned to Kansas, whilst the place of
concealment of the latter was unknown. A high de
gree of excitement existed in tin* territory and blood
shed was anticipated. The United States Marshal had
issued a proclamation calling out a posse of citizens
to assist him. This appears to us to have been a
highly improper step as it will necessarily bring the
partisans of the* freesoil and pro-slavery factions
into, collision, nor do we see why it was necessary
when the Marshal hud the United States troops at
his command. The following is the proclamation :
Proclamation to the people of Kansas Territory :
Whereas, certain judicial writs of arrest have been
directed to me by the First District Court of the
United States, dtc., to be executed within the coun
ty of Douglas ; and whereas, an attempt to exe
cute them by the United States Deputy Marshal
was violently resisted by a large number of the citi
zens of Lawrence, and as there is every reason to
believe that any attempt to execute these writs will
be resisted by a large body of armed men ; now,
therefore, the law-abiding citizens of the Territory
are commanded to be uud appear at Lecoinpton, as
Boon as practicable, and in numbers sufficient for
the proper execution of the law. Given under my
hand, tnis Uth day of May, I8T>1».
I. B. Donaldson,
U. S. Marshal of Kansas Territory.
The St. Louis Republican, of the 1 -It li iust., gives
some information of the subsequent proceedings un
der this proclamation :
(>ver one hundred men lmd already gone from
Atchison to Lceompton, and one hundred and seven
ty-five would follow the same evening from Kicka
poo, besides a number from the vicinity. Col.
Sumner, the commanding officer at Fort Leaven
worth, with his Adjutant, were at Lawrence, but
there were no troops with them. There was a great
deal of excitement in the Territory, but it was con
fined to the people of the Territory. The Missou
rians remain at noine, satisfied to let the people of
Kansas settle the questions at issue.
Gov. Shannon has sent au express from Lecoinp
ton to Lexington, with the necessary papers to jus
tify the Arrest of Robinson, and to secure his return
to the Territory. It is probable that lie was taken
from ljexington, on his way to Kansus, yesterday,

Chinese Gods in California. —A gentleman
writing from San Francisco, states that Bhuddism
has been formally inaugurated on American soil.—
After many disappointments, the Chinese popula
tion of that city nave imported a wooden god and
nil the paraphernalia of their worship for the pur
pose, and erected them as a permanent institution
in its midst. The festival, as it was called, com
menced on the 4th, and was continued to the Bth,
occupying five days. The edifice in which it was
held was erected in 1853, and is situated in Pine
street. It is of a singular style of architecture, the
entrance being through narrow and devious pas
sages, having ou each side high walls. A general
in\ itation was extended to the people of San Fran
cisco, through the press, to visit the building, and all
who availed themselves of it were treated with po
liteness.
(’hina—lts Population and Intelligence.-
Rev. A. P. 1 tapper, M. I>., of the Canton mission de
livered an address in the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church, New York, on Thursday. He
spoke at large of the population of the Chinese em
pire. lie considered the census of 1812, which fix
ed the population ns 360,000,(HK), as below the pres
ent number -which he thought little short of 100,-
000,000. Some doubted this extreme populousness,
from a Supposed difficulty of procuring food for so
large a number. The principal food of the people
is rice, and this is cultivated over two-thirds of the
extent of their territory, ami produced two crops
annually. He regarded the Chinese, as much supe
rior to any other heathen people, and as second only
to the Anglo Saxon race. Every vUllage in Chi
na elects its own magistracy. Almost every tiling
of local importance is determined by the popular
Du. Kino again Preaching. —A» letter from
Athens, dated the 7th of March, says that, thanks to
the perseverance of Mr. Pryor, our Minister to
Greece, the claims of the veteran missionary, the
Rev. Dr. King, against the Government of that
country, hail not only been admitted, lmt tin- money
hud act nail v been paid to him, and lie continued
to preach without molestation. This of course sat
isfaetorially disposes of what at one time assumed
quite a serious aspect.
The Cincinnati Convention.—' The New York
Herald is convinced that the Cincinnati Democratic
Convention will prove an imposture—that not a
patriotic t!sought will illumine the assemblage, and

principle, and honor against honor.
Judge McLean’s letter in the Intelligencer, sta
ting, in correction ol some remarks of Gen. Cass,
his position, that Congress has no power to estab

considered equivalent to an admission of his candi

Court, would scarcely, under other circumstances,
publish his opinion on a grave constitutional ques

CHARLESTON, May 23.— Cotton.—' The market for
this article during the week now under review opened
under a very depressed feeling, and continued so through
out the day —the transactions only reaching 696 bates.
On the following day—Saturday—operators were in pos
session of the telegraphic advices from Liverpool per
Asia, showing a dull and depressed market outlie other
side, which, however, had hut little or no effect —holders
being firm at prices previously demanded, and 117.1 hales
only were disposed of. The three subsequent days—
Monday, Tuesday aud Wednesday—exhibited the same
state ; consequently the sales were limited, the transac
tions during that period being confined to a few, only
reached about 4,724 bales. Yesterday we were in re
ceipt ot advices from Liverpool to the lGth inst. per Cana
da, which, though showing an easy market, had no in
fluence on holders, while buyers were indisposed to ope
rate unless at a reduction in prices. Sales were there
fore restricted to 380 bales. We can but renew our quo
tations of the previous week, which we consider nominal.
The receipts since our last reach 6600 bales, and the
sales during the same time may be classed as follows,
viz: Friday 606 ; Saturday 1175 . Monday 1666; Tues
day 1039 ; Wednesday 2019; and Thursday 380—ma

Haiti ; and Fair —.
The sales of Long Cottons amount to about 250 bales,
ai the same range of prices current for the last month.—
The transactions, although small, include all the classes,
aiul show no other change in the market than a slight
concession in common and middliug Floridas. We con
tinue, therefore, to quote inferior to clean Floridas 18®
24; common to fine ditto 24®28 and 30; Nantoes and
Mains 28®34 ; Middling to fine Sea Island 35 a45 and 50

AT THOMSON, GA.
r PHE undersigned, having permanently located
JL Teachers, respectfully solicit the patronage of the i
friends and the public generally.
From years of experience in teaching, and a constant at
tention to the duties of their profession, they Hatter them
selves that the system of instruction which they are now
prepared to give students pursuing a regular classica
course, cannot be surpassed bv any similar institution in
the State. To parents, therefore, designing to give their
sons a Collegiate education, their services an; especially
tendered, since a thorough acquaintance with the pre
paratory studies is indispensable to the student’s progress
throughout his whole course. In their Academy pupils
will be prepared to enter the higher classes of College, or
if preferred, thoroughly instructed in a more practical
and business course.
The accessibility, health and quietness of their loca
tion—its freedom from scenes and causes of dissipation—
induce them to hope for a continuance of that liberal
patronage which for many years they have not failed to
secure.
A strict regard will be paid to moral training, and the
general deportment of each pupil carefully observed.
The Academies for the Male and Female pupils are
separate—also, their Boarding Houses ; while the gov
ernment, discipline, course of studies, &e.,of both depart
ments, will be under the control and supervision of the
Principal.
Although not required, it is preferred that pupils be
boarded with the Teachers.

SCIRRHUS BREAST CAN BE CURED.
LET THE PUBLIC READ!
IN .MERCY to tho afflicted, and the gratitude and
high opinion I entertain of Dr. MOSELEY as a Surgeon
and Physician, 1 deem it my duty to mention the case of
my wife, hoping, at the same time, that all persons simi
larly afflicted may he benefitted by it. In the first part
of this year, my wife had several small lumps to make
then* appearance in her breast. They continued to in
crease in size, until the whole breast became a diseased
mass, and very painful. I procured the best medical aid
in the city of Rome, and notwithstanding the earnest and
faithful attention of the most skilful physicians, she con
tinued to grow worse and worse, until they gave the case
up as incurable, and advised amputation. J was advised
by manv of my friends to visit DR. W. R. MOSELEY,
of Griffin, Ga., which I did, and, astonishing as it may
seem, he had her entirely cured within one month, and she
is now in good health! 1 would advise all who are af
flicted with Scirrhus, and Cancerous affections, to visit
the. Doctor without delay, as 1 am satisfied by experience
and observation, that he is the most skilful Physic ian in
the Southern States in the treatment of that horrible dis
ease—Cancer. WILLIAM H. MITCHELL,

'TmTtHE DISCIPLES OF ISAAC WALTON,
A Greeting: You are hereby commanded to proceed
without delay, to M. O. McKINNE S Store, on Broad
street and supply yourself with those diminutive curva
tures designed toenti< e the sparkling members of the
finny tribe to certain destruction, vulgarly called Buel a
Sninuing Bait and Metallic Bobs—for catching Trout.
Vu vo u have to do, on arriving at the “ seat of war, is
to let these Bobs skim lightly on the surface of the water,
ind as soon as Mr. Trout sees the Bob, he instantly darts
ofit (thinking—if fish can think—it is, perhaps, some
poor little butterfly caught in the water,)—the consc
ience is, Mr. Trout is impaled beyond the hope of re
covery, and the lucky fisherman * goes on his way re
joicing ” These remarkable Baits, are for sale by M. G.
McKINNE, and we would advise all who are fond of the
sport, to get some at once. ap23
