like in kind, but nut in degree ; for unprin
cipled as have been ninny publications here
tofore ot private papers, it never lias occurred
that the whole of an individual’s private and
most contiilenti.il papers, through an active
career of more than a quarter of a century,
have boon nefariously obtained and spread
, before the world. Nor is it any extenuation
ol this grossly immoral act, that it lends to
Unveil the real characters of men eminent for
public station, and high in public confidence,
and to show that mouth-professions of re
gard for the people’s interests and the peo
ple’s rights are but covers to the most pro
found and mercenary selfishness.
Even lessons such as these are not to be
taught at the expense of what is right and
becoming ; pounve evil may not be perpe
trated in the hope that good may be the re
sult.
If the public press generally—if the public
sentiment do not reprove this felonious pub
lication, there is no longer any security for
private and unreserved correspondence of
any sort. If political antipathies or resent
ments can palliate tins publication, other an
tipathies and other resentments may induce
and justify the breaking into of other private
repositories, and the publishing, for the grat
ification of envy, hatred and all uncbaritable
ness, ol whatever inay there be found, in
tins view, we have seen with pain that the
Tribune opens its columns to a republicatiou
of some ol the letters. This cannot be right,
and therefore cannot be expedient even for a ■
paper so profoundly partisan as that is ; for,
m the long run, men of all parties must find
that honor and good faith are of more value
than any temporary or accidental advantage
to be obtained at their expense.
Tu our little sheet, at any rate—which
walks amid parties in armed neutrality, and
aims to speak truly and decorously of all, and
especially prefers to be able to chronicle
good of each, rather than to record evil of
either —no place can be found for extracts
from a publication, such as we have de
scribed this to be; and which derives no
sanction, certainly, nor claim to confidence,
from the name and history of its editor, Win. j

THE TIMES.
COLUMISUS, GA.
Wednesday, October 8, 1845.
ELECT lON—MUSCOGEE tIOUNTY.
Wygs, as usual, and as was expect
ed, have carried this county. Below, we
give the official return.
The Democracy of Muscogee did not
make a hearty fight, as will be seen from
the fact that their candidate for the Senate
ran agninst hope, with a dead majority
against him 0f350 in Harris and a probable
majority of 1 to 200 in this county. Mr. Be
tlume, one of our Representative Candidates,
was run during his absence, by his friends,
and the party had none of the benefit of his
personal exertions in the contest. This was
not h.-s fault, however, for his fiiends took
the responsibility of using his name, while
lie was absent.
We therefore weal into the contest with
'out the advantage of the active aid of the
personal friends of two of the candidates,
founded upon a reasonable hope of success.
Mr. Guerry was the only candidate actively
in the field, and while his friends were
warm and the party voted for him very gen
erally, he could not prevail against the com
bined activily, energy and money of the
three Whig candidates, and iheii ardent
fiiends. We do not regard the election as
a lest of the strength of parlies in the coun
ty, although it may show that the Whigs
are the strongest. A strong, able and active
ticket would have exhibited a dillereut re
sult.

THE JKSUIIS.
Wc invite attention to the communication
of the Rev. Mr. Bermingbara in defence of
the order of the Jesuits. It is contrary toa
general rule with us io admit religious sec
tarian discussions into our columns. The
historical character of Mr. Bermingbam’s
article entitles it to be considered as an ex
ception 1 1 the rule. Besides this, the in
stitution founded by Ignatius Loyola, and
bearing the high sounding title of the “Order
of Jesus,” which is distinguished by its
grand role in the annals of history, celebrated
for the good it lias done, by its friends, and
execrated for everything that is abominable
by its enemies—this institution, is at this day,
the peculiar object of attack, or as its frieuds
say—persecution, in Christian Europe. As
iis delendera in this country aro few, it is
right, that when one does appear he should
be permitted io take the side of a once pow
erful and influential, but now weak and
crumbling society.
It may not bo uninteresting to the recent
readers of Eugene Sues’ romantic exposition
of the philosophy and character of this great

“ THE BOOK”—THE MACKENZIE PUB
LIC .VIION.
Tins work, the infamous compilation of
one. IF. L. McKenzie— a man who figured in
the Canada disturbances some yeais since,
|is doomed to boa “ nine days (political) bub
ble” and then explode, to the infinite damage
[of the reputation of its author and abettors,
i We have not tead the book, but we venture
the above opinion, from the statements we
have seen ol its character,
his very generally believed that McKen
zie stole the private letters which he has
given to the world—at least those that are
genuine,—for it is fairly presumable that a
man who would steal papets of a strictly
private character and break the sacred seal
of personal anil confidential communication
between man and man;—would also garble
and forge to attain the same end, which in
duced him to steal. They therefore come
before the world in such ••questionable
shape” that the opinion is entertained by
many that the whole book is a fraud and
forgety. We don’t think so. Doubtless
most of the letters are genuine, and Mr. H .
L. McKenzie, is only guilty of stealing as to
the mass, so far as appears ;• while the de
gree of his guilt as an interpolator and forger,
yet remains to be determined.

ol the Demociatic party, intended to be

The Columbus Enquirer of last week
(just before the election) gives it tho follow

language of a New York paper :

New York, Sept. 22. 1815.
The Zenobia, which ayived at this | ort
on Saturday morning last, from Calcutta,
East Indies, brought home one of the Ameri
can cotton planters, who, sorno five years
since, entered the service of the lion. East
India Company, as a superintendent of cot
ton farms, in their extensive experiment
made togrow Amciican cotton in that regidh
and to improve the cultivation of native cot
ton . I have had much conversation with
Mr. TANARUS., who went from Mississippi; and
alter having solved the government for five
years, the term ol his engagement, has re
turned, as stated, in the Zenobia- He lias
communicated to us much valuable and in
cresting information, in relation to India.
He estimates the experiment has cost the
government about $500,000, and that it has
resulted in a complete and signal failure.
In 1840, an agent of the government came
to the United States, and repaired to Louisi
ana and Mississippi, where the growing of
cotton has been carried to the greatest state
of perfection, and where ho engaged ten
Americans, who had been employed in su
perintending cotton estates in that section of
the Union for several years. They were
well recommended by the most respectable
planters. They left with the agent for India
via England, and took with them large quan
tities of the best American cotton seed, agri
cultural implements, cotton gins, presses &.c.
itC.
The planters were engaged at an average
salary of about £3OO each, with an allowance
tot subsistenceof £IOO more. Each entered
into a contract to remain in the service of the
company five years, and to conduct the
experiments m such parts ot India as the
government should point out. Of t tlie ten
persons thus engaged, three, after the first
year returned home, being paid their salaries
up to the time of leaving, but were left to
bear their own expenses home; while, accord
ing to the agreement, those who remained
five years were to have all iheir expenses
borne from America to India, and from thence
at the expiration of the service, back to tiie
United States. Seven ol the parly remained
to the end of their engagement—oneof whom
is Mr. TANARUS., who has just arrived in the Zam
bia.
He says, on reaching India, their party
wete distributed to different parts of the In
dian empire, in order that the experiment
might be tested in referenc to the different
soils and varieties of climate in that vast em
pire.
One (Mr. TANARUS.) was placed atCalpee, in the
district of Bundelcund. Another was sta
tioned at Geruckpore, under the Napa, hills:
another in Dooab, another was located in
Soomapore; another at Humepore, in the
province of Banda; another at llaatch in
Bundepere; another in Coimbatore and at
Surat, on the western*side of the peninsula.
After the experimenting a year or two at
each place, without a prospect of
tmkwcre changed to outer localities,
ry district ;o India, ne r.r
Mr. T. J was
BundolclaLio Rungpore,
near the in full view of
lava were wi'h
perpetual
Dahwar, in the country.
The American pnOter at llaatch,
during a rebellion with
the Decoy Is, (robhei his premises
attacked, his houses burnt, bare
ly escaping with
wore.
In every where
cans tried of cotton,
deavored the natives in the best
mode of cflrture, they most signafly failed !!
Those who remained used every possible ex
ertion to succeed, as they were liberally paid,
having every facility granted that they could
ask, with the expectation of being handsome
ly rewarded if they succeeded.
Mr. T. thinks the two great and insupera
ble and fficultice, in the way ot cultivating cot
ton in India, are attributable to the twogreat
extremes of nnv and wet wkathek, either
ol whiehTis peculiarly latal locution. During
•ho continuance of the rainy season, the cot
ton plants grow (with unwonted luxuriance
and rapidity, to he as suddenly ,checked and
cut off by theintense heat of the sun, which
pours upon them during the succeeding dry
season. When the dry weather sets in, the
sun ripens the bolls prematurely, when ap
parently not more than haltgiowii; whilellie
leaves of the plant are crisped and burnt toa
brown color by the intensity of the solar
heat.
In lower Bengal, the rainy season com
mences late in May, and continues till Ocio
ber. In central India, the rainy season begins
about the middle of July, and lasts till from
the Ist to the stb of September.
In lower Bengal, as much as 76 inches of
rain usually falls in 1 1 months. In central
India, no crops can be anticipated with much
loss than 13 inches of rain. Eleven inches
never fails to result in a famine, which is
dreadful in its effects upon the natives.
In addition to the unconquerable difficulties
of the climate, the cotton plant is exposed to
the fatal attacks of destructive insects.—
There is one, which lays ait egg in the flower
of the plant. Belore the boll matures, the
worm forms within it, which feeds upon the
green and lendej fibres of the cotton, eating
out all the cotton within tiio boll before it
matures ; leaving only a lock or two in some
bolls, or pods, while in others, not a fibre is
left. In some parts of India it is also subject
to the attacks of white ants, which cut down
the plants while young, or attack the young
pods, and cut them off.
Ail that the Americans could do, with thjir
only enabled them to raise, on
the average, about ten pounds of clean cotton
to the acre from the best American cotton
seed, and only severity puundsofclean cotton
to the acre from native India cotton seed.
Mr.T., before leaving Mississippi to goto
India, superintended a cotton estate near Uud
ney, in that State, in 1839, on which lie raised
over nine hundred pounds of clean cotton to
the acre ! lie says, that year be made a fine
crop, actually sending to market two hundred
bales of good cotton, averaging lour hundred
and fifty pounds cacti, from ninety six acres
of land ! What a contrast, this, to cropping
in India!
Mr. F.,one of the American cotton growers
who went lo India, and was stationed at Go
ruchpore, put two bundled acres in cotton,
from which be gathered only two hundred
pounds of clean cotton ! Toe must of those
sent to Coimbatore could do, was-to laise, in
a favorable year, two hundred pounds of seed
cotton lo the acre—equal toaboui fifty pounds
of clean cotton I The most Mr. T. could do,
was to raise, the first year ten pounds of
clean cotton from American cotton seed of
the Mexican variety, (,he best,) and seventy
pounds of native cotton, to the acre ! He
says the American seed carried out from
about Rodney, (the best in America,) dete
riorated every year ; the staple or fibre grow
ing shorter, while tiie yield grew less.
It is bis firm conviction, that if the Amer
ican seed be planted over and over again in
the same soil, in India, in Jive years it will
totally cease io mature any cotton whatever !
He also says, by changing it to other districts,
it may be made to yield something a few
years longer; but would ultimately run out.
He thinks the resources the of British India
greatlp overrated, and that its produce of all
kinds is growing less ; accompanied with an
immense diminution of the Indian govern
ment revenues, which (like the parent power)
is immensely in debt; and like her, has gone
largely into banking and'loaning operations.
•Paper issues are alloat all over India, put in
circulation with little lpo of ultimate or fu
ture redemption.
The Affghan, anil other recent wars, have
added £13,090,000 to the Indian government
debt. During Mr. TVs residence there,
they issued a loan 5,000,900 of rupees, at 5
j per cent., having other large outstanding
loans made at 4 per cent. The fact i<, there
is no government which has been so wasto
fiitly and extravagantly managed as the Indian
government. The most enormous salaries
have been paid to its public, officers, from the
governor general down to the collector of
revenues in a distiict.
Reckless and oppressive exactions from the
natives on the one band, with the most
wasteful expenditures on the other, have
marked tho progress of the Indian government
from the davs of Lord Clive and Warren
Hastings, down lo tiie present time. Under
suc h management, since the monopoly of the
ff ove rnment has been broken in upon bythe
non renewal of its charter, (in its commercial
features at least,) the case seems to be, that
India presents mure or loss the character of
a squeezed orange—little else being left be
yond the rind ; while there is uanger of the
government—“the honorable company”
becoming irretrievably and hopelessly bank
rupt ! When the English first obtained!
sway over the country, they found it full of
the accumulated treasures of ages, which
they have succeeded in removing from the
country, while reducing its owners to a spe
cies of bondage worse than that endured by
the African race in any part of the world.
For be it known, that they deprived the con
quered Hindoos of all mle to ilie land on
which God had placed them, without treat/,
or other means than the sword. They claim
ont'-lialfol all the rice or other produce rais
ed bv the natives, as a land-tax or rent!
Mr. T. tells us that when less than eleven
inches of rain falls in central Lidia, there is a
famine by reason of tlie failure of the rice
crop, which is almost the only food of the
natives. The government makes no allow
ance for the failure of a crop; but enforces
the collection ol its dues iroiu head renters,
(who hire land, and employ natives of the
country and villages to Work it,) just the
same as if no failure had occurred.
He says these famines have a kind of peri
odical recurrence, once in seven or eight
years. That during tiie last most severe
iamme, in 1837. many thousands expired
Iroui absolute starvation! That in some
portions of India, tu enable them to meet
their government dues, and obtain subsis
tence, they were forced to sell out their cat
tle and every other thing they possessed.
J hey would cut down their trees, strip their
houses and themselves of clothing, and even
sell their children into bondage, in order to
save themselves from destruction !
He says that India nevercau become settled
with a European population, on account of
the extreme heat preventing their laboring
in tne open lielt.s beneath a burning sun,
without destruction. Such is theovenvhehn
ins oppressiveness of the heat, that all ihe
travelling is done at night. The traveller is
parried in a sedan, or palanquin, supported
by six or eight men, who relievo each other
at the end of every eight or ten miles. They
set oil, usually, at 4 o’clock in the evening,
travelling all night, and until 9 or 10 o’clock
next morning, when they lay by for the
remainder ot the day. It was in this way the
American cotton growers were carried from
one part of India to another. Troops march
at ii giir, and oft -n fight their battles at night.
Mi. f. says that such is the destructive
character ol the white ant in many parts of
India, tiiey actually level mud houses in a
lew yeais—which are the only kind of houses
that can be used in the interior, on account
ol the scarcity of timber. Machinery made
ol wood, and carried into the country, alter a
while is liable to be attacked by them and
destroyed.
At his station, in Bundelcund, he found
tiie heat so great as to be compelled to sleep
out of doors—the common practice in India.
In such cases, it is necessaiy to hire the na
tives to keep watch all night, at 124 cents
each per night, to keep off jackals, hyenas,
and wolves, with which the jungles abound,
and which often venture upon tne abodes ot
the people in the most ravenous manner.
When oneatlciups to sleep in a house, the
heat is so severe, that it becomes necessary
to hire two natives to fan you all night, by
turns, with a contrivance something similar
to that used lor keeping flies from tiia table
in this country, which the natives put in mo
tion by pulling a rope on tho outside of the
house,
Mr. T. seems to think Ii dia will continue
to decline in her resource.-, ti'l England will
cease to derive a great deal of benefit from
its possession; and large tracts of the coun
try may, by-arid-6y, revest hack to tho un
disturbed possession of the jackals and hy
enas.
in this view, he inay overdraw the picture;
yet the reflection forces itself upon tl.-e mind,
—what is m become of the power of Eng
land, hi the event of the fall of India? The
bare possibility of 6uch ail event cannot fail
to fill the government and people with ap
prehension for the future!
One thing of great importance to us has
become clearly manifest—and that is, with
the possession of Texas, we hold the only
cotton lands in the whole universe, that are
worth “the. snap of a man’s fingers.” There
is no section of the globe winch can “begin”
to compote with us m the cultivation ot this
great staple.
We have fast hold upon the cotton mar
kets of the world; and we shall hold them
timing future tune, as far as can be seen to
the contrary; and through our cotton Pales,
we can, to a great extent, control the desti
nies us Europe, make peace or war, and oth
erwise affect the political economy and rela
tions of the world!
Wfiat a proud, elevated, and happy posi
tion do these United States occupy! What
other part of the world is so blessed with a
favorable climate, extent, richness, variety of
soil and productions,, or traversed with such
vast and noble rivers?—stretching its boun
daries from the Atlantic to the l’acific, and
from the waters of Hudson's bay and the C4t.
Lawrence on the north, to the < till of Mexi
co and the Rio Grande del Norte on the south
and southwest, settled by a free, enterpris
ing, and intelligent people, living under wise
ly.framed democratic institutions. What
oilier people beneath heavan havecaush to
be so devoutly thankful as the citizens of
the United States.” who should thank God
evry day they breathe that they are American
citizens, and not the subjects ot a foreign
potentate, or the inhabitants of a less favored
country- “Esto perpetna” rests upon our
free instiiutions.
1 well remember bow the aboli ionistsof
the United Slates, ever foes to their coun
try’s best interests, crowed over the prospect
held out by visionary people, five years ago,
that India was about io rival the United S.
in the growth of cotton; and how Mr. Clay,
in the United States Senate, with other
supporters of a high protective tarilf, warned
the cotton growers of the South against the
competition of India; and urged them on that
ground lo come out and support protection
as the time would soon arrive when they
themselves would need protection against
India grown cotton, in supplying our domes
tic cotton factories. Yours, &c.,

LIME AS A MANURE.
Much labor lias been exhausted in trying;
to ascertain the best method to enrich and
prepare lire ground so as lo produce tiro best
crop. After using various kindsofdressing,
none has proved better than lime, for the
land on which corn rs planted.
Lime lias within itself many valuable
properties. It gives a suitable degree of
beat to cause immediate vegetation : it
guards it from worms and insects that often
destroy one half of the first pluming ; it
causes an early, and rapid growth, that
ripens the grain before the frost appears.
When lime is used for othei kinds of grain,
it has the same effect as on corn ; it has
also the valuable quality pf guarding it
against mildew.
No grain sown on land so prepared, will suf
fer from this great evil, by which so many
valuable fields have been destroyed. The
best method of using lime is lo mix one
eiglub part with old barn manure then lo be
placed in rhe hole with the corn. When us.
ed fur other kind&of grain, it should bespread
on the top of ihe ground alter it is plowed
and harrowed in with the grain. No one
can fully estimate tiie value of lime lor this
purpose, unless they try the experiment.
The average difference in a crop is from one
third to one halt more by using the lime.
It is also almost the sure preventative of
vermilion fruit trees in this section of the
country. Lime placed about the body of
thetree early in the spring, will prevent
their increase. Slacked lime mixed with
soap and water, used as wash on the part ot
‘the tree where insects have deposited their
eggs, will destroy them entirely. This lias
been proved by the writer.
In many parrs of England, lliey estimate
the value of their land, in some proportion,
to its nearnes3 to limo kilns, on account of
the valuable properties.of lime for dressing.
Our farmers should inrn lheir attention to
the subject.— [Monthly Visitor.

ANOTHER EVIDENCE ‘
Os the Wonderful Cl RES performed by Dr.
Surayne’s Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry.
Dr. Swavne—Dear Sir.—When I was at Pin*,
hurg.last August, i parchascd of your Agent sir
hollies of your Compound Syrup oj Wild Cherry. I
had for many years been troubled with a Uougn of
ten very violent, wtthothcr indications of Consomp.
liou4or|iiaed.e of the Lunga, of a very serious nature.
1 liaa v ery little faith in medicine, as it was thought
my disease was hopeless and beyond its reach/ I
had applied io several Physicians’ fur relief, and also
used some highly putted medicines which i had seen
ill the uewspapers, but hearing that you had much
experience in the practice of medicine, and had treat
ed many cases of Consumption, 1 concluded to irr
yours; and from that time, t urn happy to say, [ found
relief. 1 write tins in hopes you will publish it,
thai if auy human being has suffered as 1 have done
they inav know where to hnd a medicine, the viituca
of whicbmay he relied upon. Yours respectfully,
Jamxs Oenvßjr, *
LIVER COMPLAINT.
This disease, from its long standing and repeated
attacks, and also from the manner m which it has
beeen treated, often leaves the dregs of the digests
in some way clinging to the system—sometimes
there is gieai weakness and prostration of strength
with dull heavy pain located in some part of the sys
tem. In alt such cases, Dr. SwaynCs Compound
Syrup of IVild C/utry will be found an excellent
remedy, to support, strengthen, and give vigor tods
clinuig health, aud defend it from the inroads to dis
case.
There are daily cer ificates from various person*,
which ndd sufficient to the great efficacy of ihis in
valuable medicine.
Mr. Kirby. My wife was afflicted with pain in the
breast and a severe cough, for the period of five
years. About the first of May last, she became so
reduced, that she was confined to her bed for several
weeks, entirely unable to m %e. I called iu our
family physician, who after some inquiry, &c., left
ber a few pills. The next dsy the doctor paid her
another visit, and then told mo that medicine was on
tiroly useless, as her recovery was impossible. I
then procured one bottle of Dr. Swayne's Compound
Syrup oj IVild Cherty, which she commenced using
agreeably to directions, and from which she derived
con uleruble benefit. 1 continued the use of the
Syrup until I had used ten bottles ; by this time she
had recovered perfectly. She now enjoys good health
and attends to her household affairs as usual. I
would most cheerfully recommend this medicine to
all similarly afflicud ; what is ihe price of ten or sis.
teen bottles compared with good health ? 1 shall be
iu Chambersburg in a few days, and shall call to see
you. Yours, respectfully,
J. Hade.

Compund Extract of Cubcbs and
Copaiva.
THE following remurks from so valunble a work
as the 4 Cen*or,’ (comprehensive as they are,)
satisfy|even the most sceptical loss the efficacy of
Tarrant's Compound Extract of Cvblbs and
Copaiba.
[From the Edinburg 11 Medical Censor **]
“Sometime since having had several cases of Gon
orrhoea, &c., brought uudw our notice, owing to the
successful cures effected therein by the use of a Com
pound preparation heretofore unknown to any extent
hi our practice, and fearing from the extravagant eu
logisms heaped upon it. (so gererul in every instance
ot u new remedy) that (here might be pome deception
we were induced to give it a fair trial. It had been
highly appioved by most of cur principal Medical
Men, and had been generally prescribed by them.-
Wo found it to be an excellent remedy for Gonorrhoea *
•pc., and are assured that it would never have ob
tained so high a character or have been recommended
SO univeisally by our distinguished weio it
not the most successful and speedily efficacious med
icine ever submitted to the test of Medical Science.
We recommend ‘Tarrant** Componud Extract* to
our professional brethren, satisfied that they will
hereafter feel grateful in having their attention direct
ed to a remedy combinrhg beauty of preparation and
efficacy of cure with Us agreeable taste and mild and
delightful operation upon ihe system,without ihe usual
concomitants attendant upon other remrdtea, of a
change ot diet or relaxation from *be ordioarv pur
suits of tile.**
