In looking througli it we find touch valuable | information to planter, furmcr and gar- I doner. This work should bo in the hands [ of every man who cultivates the soil. I>r. N. 11. Cloud, Montgomery, Alabama, ’ editor and publisher, l’rice only one dollar per annum. ♦ A writer in the New York Ledger of a series of articles on the “Colony of Ply mouth,” says the term Yankee comes from pan, which means eye, and ket, which means tooth, in the Massachusetts vernacular. The colonists drove sharp bargains—had cut their eyeteeth—hence the Indians called them Yankee. A Bourbon monarchy is recommended as a panacea for all Mexican ills by Mex* icons in Koine, in a letter to Miratnon’s confessor, published in a Vera Cruz pa per. A strong church party and Mira mon himself are alleged to bo concerned iu the enterprise. lion Fernando, of Spain, is the favorite ; utter him a Catho lic Coburg. ♦ —• Charles Dickens is at work writing a book, not to be published, but to bo read by the author. It is only recently that two most popular authors have discovered what a source o! large returns this read ing business may be made. Mr. Dickens realized more tliuu 416,000 last year from this source alone; and Mr. Thackeray must have put aside twice as niucli, at least, from bis lectures since lie began to read as well as write. Mui from Uouton. The Boston Commercial Bulletin of the 2Gtb, states that two applications for char* ters are now before the Massachusetts Legislature for lines of steamers between Boston and Southern ports. One by E. 8. Torrcy and others as a Committee of the Board of Trade, and another by Don ald Mackay. The former contemplates a line of four steamers to run between Boston and Charleston, or Savannah, or both, and the latter to New Orleans. . ■ y ... .... Iltiahiiiitl Poisoned by bis WIIY. A letter to the Petersburg Express, from Greensboro’, N. C., states that Mr, Isaac Johnson, a farmer of that county, recently died under such circumstances as to create a suspicion that he had been poisoned, and a post mortem examination proved the suspicion well founded. Sus picion fell on bis wife as the guilty party, and on an investigation, sufficient evi dence against her was elicited to warrant her commitment for a further hearing before the Superior Court. A New Town, The Savannah Republican of the Gist ult, thus describes the location of a “new town,” near that city, inteuded as a su burbian retreat for the people of tho city during tho summer mouths and sickly seasons: The site is high, dry and salubrious, immediately ou the Central Rail Road, ami ouly 2(> miles, or an hour’s ride, from the city. The water is as good as can bo fouud in the low country, and the village, if settled up by our citizens iu tho summer months, would bo made a most delightful retreat. The name (Mar low; is horribly unpoetic, and, with all due deference for the taste of the proprio tor, we must enter a plea for a change. - ♦ - The Wheat Crop. Reports of the wheat crop (says the Cincinnati Gazette) continue favorable. There are some exceptions, of course, hut generally the prospects are quite encour aging. The Illinois papers agree that there is a probability of more than a general average in tho State. In Michi gan the prospects are equally favorable. These remarks also apply to Ohio and Western New York. From Texas the ac counts are exceedingly tlatcring. Wheat is in fine condition. Corn is also looking well. It is five or six inches high, and lias mostly received the first plowing. The season in that State is three weeks earlier than usual. The forests have as sumed a green hue, and the fruit trees are covered with young fruit. Iu Louisi ana wheat is in good coudition and prom ises well. Fire In Aubtii-n. Auihjhn, Ala., April 1, 185‘J. Pear San : 1 drop you a line to say that tho residence of Mr. Simeon Perry, iu this place, was discovered to bo on fire this morning about 9 o'clock, and in spite of the efforts of tho citizens, the building was entirely consumed. All the furni ture, clothing, No., were saved. No out- j buildings were burned. The house caught tire accidentally, it is supposed, on top. The loss amounts to about $2,600, and falls ou a good man, but ouo able to hear it. No insurance. Your friend, I’KKTU'.M. ♦ ■— Tle Cropi. Steamer Lancaster, March 25. Eds. Cincinnati Com.: 1 was iu Cler mont county four or five days, about two I weeks ago. aud saw but one good field of i wheat. The farmers were preparing to j sow spring wheat, in case the winter wheat should prove a failure. I have heard since, however, that many fields, which two weoks ago showed no indica tions of wheat, uow look fine. In Ken tucky, hack of Maysville, wheat has sel dom, if ever, looked better. The peach trees in that section are mostly in lull bloom; of course it is quite*uuoertaiu as yet w hether the fruit will live. Yours, MAK. Bt. Louis, March GO.—The river has risen C inches in 24 hours. The upper streams are unchanged. Tho Missouri is rising slowly.

False Packed Cottom If a planter should receive in pay foit his cotton a lot of coin which had all the external appearance of gold, but which, ou examination, proved to be silver with a gold outside, he would arrest tho payer for swindling, and the law would punish him for the offence ; but where the planter sells a lot of cotton, with the outside of a quality far superior to the inside, there is no redress for the purchaser. Yet, wherein do tho two cases differ ? Is not one practico as reprehensible as tho other? This evil has grown to an alarming extent, and is increasing every year. The pres ent season is without precedent in this city. Two cases came under our obser vation this week—one, a lot of three hun [ dred bales, in which were thirty-five false j packed bales, and the other a lot of fifty bales, in which there were sixteen bales 1 false packed. Comment upon these facts is unnecessary.— Savh. Rep. We agree with tho Augusta Chronicle, that “the remedy for this evil is with tho dealers themselves. In tho absence of any law to punish the villains who perpe trate the frauds, or even with a law, the dealers havo ooly to resolve to publish tho names of every man who is detected in these frauds, and tho evil will be cor rected at once. Tho fraud is almost al ways easily traced to tho guilty parties, and if the buyers and sellers in every market will ouly resolve to publish the names of the scoundrels, there will be no more frauds discovered in packing cotton, or at least none after the first publication is mado. Then let the dealers in every market form a joint association, and ro solve to publish the names of the perpe trators of the frauds to tho world, and at once correct a practice which reflects more or less upon the character of the whole of the cotton planters of the coun try. That the honest portion of tho plan ters will not only thank, but aid them in making the expose, we havo no doubt. — If the dealers fail to do this, they should not complain, for no man should declaim against the perpetration of a fraud, who has not tho moral courage to prosecute the guilty perpetrator.” Southern Field and Fireside. Wo have receive l from the publisher, James Gardner, Esq., of Augusta, the prospectus for a now paper bearing the above title, to be published in that city ; the first number of which will bo issued about the 28th of May. The Field and Fireside, as indicated in the prospectus, is to bo devoted to Agri culture, Literature and Art. It is to be in quarto form, eight pages to each num number, folio size. In general style and size, it will bo somewhat similar to the New York Ledger, and is to be printed on fine book paper. Tho Agricultural de partment is to be under the supervision of Dr. Daniel Lee; and tho Literary de partment, in charge of W. W. Mann. Both gentlemen are well known to tho reading public to possess the ability to make tho paper a first class literary jour nal. It is a hold undertaking; and did we not know the publisher possessed ample means to sustain it, wo should entertain fears for its success. lie has, however, aud we havo confidence that it will be so meritorious in its character as to com mand not only the liberal support of Georginus, hut of the entire South, where such a paper has long been necdod to crowd out the constantly accumulating northern trash. Tho publisher has our good wishes for success, and shall have our help in the columns of the Sun in urging its merits to tho patronage of our people. We will give tho prospoctus a place in our columns as soon as our space will admit. Letter from Ex-Preeident Pierce. There was a rumor recently that Gen. l’iorce was desirous of tho nomination for l’rosident in 1800. The following graceful letter, denying it. from General Pierce to a friend in New Hampshire, will be read with interest: Hotel Villa Naudi, Sorrento, 1 February 11, 1860. J My Pear Sir : Tho enclosed letter would have been sent from Capri had not com munication with the main land been in terdicted by wind and waves. As soon as the sea became quiet we embarked for this sweet and picturesque place. It was pleasant to find here letters and papers from homo awaiting our arrival. My satisfaction, however, iu reading the papers was somewhat marred by certain paragraphs, which impute sinister politi cal motives to my frieuds aud myself, in connection with my protracyU absence from tho United States. The suggestion that my voyage to Madeira, and subse quent sojourn iu Europe, were prompted by any object except the one known to tho public, is, under the circumstances, pe culiarly wanton. It would be difficult, as I believe 1 have said to you in the enclosed, to convoy to you an ndequato idea of tlio extent to which 1 have enjoyed tho repose which, for the first time in twenty-five years, it has been my privilege to oemmand. For Mrs. Pierce, exemption from care, and excitiug causes of solicitude, is indispen sable. 1 cannot speak with any certainty as to the period of our return, hut, wliejhor it he earlier or later, you may be quite sure that 1 shall, under no possible circumstances, consent to the use of my name in a man ner calculated to disturb the tranquil pur suits which alone pertain to tho life of a private citizen. Your frieud, Franklin Pierce. Tle Fifty Thousand Subscribed. On last Saturday, at a public meeting of our citizens held in this place, the eu tire fifty thousand dollars of additional subscription, promised by this county to the stock ot the Main Trunk, was sub scribed, making the whole nmount of the Decatur subscription about $150,000. This additional subscription will compel the Main Trunk Company, in compliance with a pledge made to the stockholders of this county, to place thirty miles of their road, Eastward from this place, immediately under contract —or, ns many miles as our subscription, with its pro portionate share of the State's appropria tion, will build. Well done, Decatur 1— Bainbridye Argus. New Orleans, March 30.—Two large stores occupied by Cbas. R. Bailey & Cos., wholesale grocers, and l'atton, Smith & Putnam, tobacconists, at the corner of Tchoupitulas and Gravier streets, were burned last night. Editors and printers. Gov. Packer, of Pennsylvania, was re cently invited to take a seat in an editori al convention at Harrisburg, when he made the following speech : Mr. President and Brother Editors: — Your worthy President has done me too much honor, certainly. When I was in vited to take a seat among my brother editors—for lam proud to call myself still an editor, although it is a long time, some fifteen years, since I have had anything to do with the publication of a newspaper —I did not expect to bo thus specially honored. Nearly forty years ago, I en tered a printing office, when I was a small boy. 1 went through all the grades, from the lowest printer’s apprentice, to that of tho conductor of a public journal, and I published a paper for some fifteen or twenty years. I certainly did not dis tinguish myself as an editor, as my friend on my left has done, although I believe he never was a practical printer. The President. —l never had that honor, and I atn sorry that I had not. Gov. Packer. — Brother Editors: —lt is the highest honor that has ever been con ferred upon me, and Hook back to it with pleasure. 1 passed through tho poor boy’s college, in making my way through life. My first place was that iu which many of the editors here present have made their first appearance. Pointers and editors have a right to be proud of their art. I need not say to you, my fellow citizens, that 1 did not come here to make a speech, because you will learn that before I am through. Printers, I say, have a right to be proud of their art. Cast your eyes hack for a few centuries, when there were no printers, and you will find that the whole world was enveloped iu darkness, and that to b s a poor man was to be a serf and a slave. Now, civilization, and the arts and sciences, march behind the printing press. Wherever you send your army, the most potent machine that goes with that army, more formidable than the cannon, more terrible than the sword, is the printing press that is carried with it; every platoon contains n printer, and in every battle that has been fought on this continent, the printers have not only done their part with the sword, but with the printing press ; aud to-day, tho printing press is most feared by the tyrants of this world —for it is the tyrant’s foe and the people’s friend. The printing press is more feared this day, among the old rotten aristocracy of Europe, than all the armies of the world. What is it that Louis Napoleon most fears? If two hundred thousand resolute soldiers were to appear at Paris to-morrow, they would not alarm him half so much as the news that two hundred thousand news papers, containing the true record of his government, had been circulated within the city of Paris. Only four hundred years ago there were no printing presses. Contrast that period with the present, and see the advancement that has beon made in all the elements of greatness. How do you account for it ? Do you think at this clay there is more patriotism, that the country is more enlightened sinco the invention of tho printing press? Certainly not; it is that the sheets that como from off the toiling printing presses enlighten tho world ; aud in enlightening the millions, you promote their welfare and comfort: Mr. President :—l do not come, as I said before, to make a speech. I thank my brother editors for doing me the honor of inviting me here—l thank you from the bottom of my heart. Whatever affects the printer affects me, for I feel myself a printer. Whatever affects an editor af fects me, for I have boen myself an editor. I again thank you, gentlemen, for the honor you have conferred on me. News from Vera Cruz. Mobile, March 81.— The United State* sloop-of-war Saratoga, from Vera Cruz, arrived at Pensacola on tho 25th inst.— She left at Vera Cruz the United States sloop-of-war Savannah, two Spanish, four French and four English men-of-war. The rumors in relation to the internal war prevailing in Mexico are so conflict ing, that it seems impossible to place any reliance in any of them. It is generally conceded that Gen. Miraraon has met with several defeats, and that his forces are not within striking distance of Vera Cruz. He is reported to be collecting his forces at Orizaba. The people of Vera Cruz appear confi dent of victory in any contest with Mira mon. The Saratoga takes in stores at Pensa cola, and returns without delay to Vera Cruz, to relievo the Savannah. Nicaragua matters. New York, March 31. — The Northern Light brings tfie intelligence that Forts Castillo and San Carlos havo been given up to Mens. Belly. The Legislature of Nicaragua have is sued a special decreo declaring the tran sit route free for the commerce of all na tions. Morphy won the whole seven games of chess against Mougredien—one game was drawn. ENTIRELY NEW! ENTIRELY NEW! WHAT IS IT? That Wonderful Purifying Agent, Darby’s Prophylactic Fluid!

Columbus, Oa., March 29, 1858. ts FOUND, BY the subscriber, a most beautiful and valua ble do&igu of Ornamental Architecture. The subscriber has also acquired a thorough knowl edge us Drawing and teaching the same. This method of gaining Centers and drawing such figures as Scrolls, Ovals, Ellipses, Circles and Ogee figures, is acknowledged by all Artists, Architects and Mechanics that have given it a | thorough investigation, to be the most accurate, useful and simplified method of drawing irregular figures that ever has beeu taught.

I will guarantee to make every man that takes instructions ot mo, whether he has any knowledge of mathematics or not, able to draw as good a de sign as can the most skillful and experienced Architect, and he shall do it in much less time. 1 most cordially invite all Architects, Carpen ters, Masons, Plasterers and Painters to call at my Studio, which is at Mrs. Dr. JONES’ Bcardiug House, on Jackson street, and examine my speci mens, which will be open for exhibition two weeks only.
