~ ls most ProflUalt Cotton or Sugar! W'e copy the followingextracvs from a let- to the Editor* of the Columbus bv Mr. Solos Robinson, the travel- of the American Agriculturist, taEving they will be of interest to our readers. ••I am now on my way through Mississippi, Bama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Caro- Virginia, &c., in all of which I hope to _.f t iv j|h the same kindness and respect that I 'EL me t with among all who knew aught of my or of the object of my visit. Certain ly |o man ever traveled in any country where be had more reason to speak in high terms of the PMf’ ‘ than I have of the planters of Louisi aait and Mississippi. And certainly no traveler i n Lny country ever saw so many laborers “ftwersof wood and drawers of water,” whe ther white or black, that were so well clothed snJ fed, so well housed, healthy and happy, as t b« slaves of the Louisiana sugar plantations. Aid as an evidence of their health and good treftmcnt, I will assert that no country on earth cal make such a show of children as are to be soap among these negroes. For example— Bidhop Polk lias 70 under ten years old ; F. D. CcErad, Esq., has 90 under 13 years, and that in awnilyof only 200. And many other similar eas - Wm Are you or your readers aware that the mak jHof sugar is not only extending northwards, H that it has proved very successful away back ialhc bill lands, upon old cotton plantations tut would not produce half a hale to the acre ? Suit is the case upon several places in East and West Feliciana parishes, La. Why should not Staftth Alabama make sugar too—since it lias b*V proved that it can be as profitable raised ujjin bill lands as upon the Mississippi bottoms? 1 have notes of one place near Clinton, La., that mfte 130 hlids. sugar and 11,000 gals, molasses frUi 100 acres of old cotton land, for a first crop ; and which will more than pay all the expenses ' of a sugar mill. “I am frequently asked which is the most profitable, the Sugar or Cotton cultivation? This is a Question that I am not yet prepared to an swer, but I am taking some statistics that will enable my readers to form a tolerable good idea. <mHl find on the well managed sugar plantations, ths the crop will average about seven hogsheads to {he hand, and somewhat over a hogshead to th«acre, or rather arpent, which is 18 per cent Though this is much above the average of thlwhole State, for there are many poor sugar Milters us wc!S as CGttOfi planters, w Hut while the sugar product is much larger than the cotton, the expense is very far greater. It i- considered a fair estimate of the annual ex p«n se of a sugar plantation to count it at SIOO to each field hand. Upon some that I have notej it is oven more than this. But it must be recol lected that they buy all their meat and clothing, while upon cotton plantations the meat is gen erally made, and most of the clothing. But here is a table of items of expense last !r upon a plantation that has 201 negroes all to I, and worked in the field 80 odd hands, to m; ke 700 logslieads of sugar, and 40,000 gui ld sos molasses: Or erse r's wages. $1,200 S.

Causes of Insanitv. — Dr. Brigham, Superin tendent of the New York Asylum for the In sane, has made a valuable report on insanity and its causes. On the subject of hereditary insani ty, Dr. Brigham states that, contrary to the opinion of many, he has found the inherited form of insanity as curable as any other. Os the 2,014 patients who had been at the Asylum, 1,017 were men, and 097 women, and 637 were known to have insane relatives. The statistics on this subject also show that insanity is a little more likely to be transmitted by the mother than by the father, and that mothers are considerabiy more likely to transmit it to daugh ters than to sons; while the fathers more fre quently transmit it to sons. Among the frequent cases of insanity in those not disposed to it, is the over indulgence of the appetites and pas sions in early life ; and to those who inherit a tendency to this disease, such a course is highly pernicious. The utmost attention should he given to securing a good bodily constitution. Such children should be confined but little at school; they should be encouraged to run about the fields and take much exercise in the open air, and thus ensure the equal and proper de velopment of all the organs of the body. They snould not have the intellect unduly tasked. Very early cultivation of the mind, and the ex citement oi the feelings by the strife for the praise and the honor awarded to great efforts of mind and memory, is injurious to all children, and to those who inherit a tendency to nervous diseases or insanity is most pernicious. In after life, persons thus predisposed to insanity should be careful to avoid engaging in any exciting or perplexing business or study, and should strive, under all circumstance, to preserve great equa nimity of temper, calling to mind the words of wisdom, “ He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty ; and he that ruleth Ins spirit than he that takelh a city.” In Dr. Brigham’s opin ion, the most frequent and immediate cause of insanity’, and one of the most important to guard against, is the leant of sleep. Curiosities ok the Earth.— At the city of Modena in Italy, and about four miles around it wherever it is dug, when the workmen arrive at the distance of sixty-three feet, they come to a bed of citaik, which they bore with an augur five feet deep. They then withdraw from the pit, before the augur is removed,and upon its extrac tion, the water bursts up through the aperture with great violence, and quickly fills this new made well, which continues full, and is effected neither by rains nor droughts. But that which is most remarkable in this operation, is the lay ers ofearth as we descend. At the depth offour. teen feet are found the ruins of an ancient eitv, paved streets, houses, floors, and different pie ties of mosaic. Under this is found a soft oozy earth made up of vegetables ; and find at twenty-six feetdeep, large trees entire, such as walnut trees, with the walnuts still sticking on the stem,and their leaves and branches in perfect preservation. At twenty-eight feet deep, a soft chalk is found, mixed with a vast quatity of shells and this bed is eleven feet thick. Under this, vegatbles are found again with leaves, and bran ches of trees as before ; and thus alternately chalk and vegetable earth, to the depth of sixty feet. Sample Cotton.— The Unilrd States Supreme Court at Boston was recently occupied with the case of the Casco Manufacturing Company vs. Thomas Dixon & Son. This action was brought to recover damages for breach of guarantee, the defendants having sold 65 hales and 29,289 pounds cotton, per agents, by sample to plain tiffs, which was found to have been falsely pack ed. The Traveller states that the sides were of as good quality as that exhibited by agents to plantiffs at time of sale. The centre, on the contrary, was of an exceedingly poor and al most worthless quality. Defendants contend that, inasmuch as they received no intention or notice of the false packing until after nine months, they are not bound In make good the guarantee, because plaintiffs were hound to give them prompt and immediate notice of the fraud of the packer, thereby giving defendants oppor tunity of recurrence to the shippers or planters. Curious Mode of Grafting tiie Grape Vine —A gentleman in the neighborhood of Oporto split a vine shoot (white grapes) very carefully down the midle, cutting the hud in half, and then split a corresponding shoot on a black vine, and united them as in common grafting, and, after many experiments, succeeded in making the graft grow, and the produce of the vine was white and black fruit on the same bunch, and on others variegated fruit. Profits of Apple Orchards.— The Ameri can Agriculturist says : A gentleman having less than seven acres of orchard, realizes from SSOO to $750 worth of apples annually. In another exchange paper it is said, an old orchard offour or five acres, that had not been ploughed for thirty years, and was said to be worthless, was ploughed and manured, and the third year there after produced 280 barrels. Curious Swearing. —In lawsuits between Russians and Ostyaks, it is still the custom, at Beresoy, to bring into court a head of a bear; and this animal, which is supposed to be omnis cient, is tiiere appealed to as a witness by the Ostyaks. In swearing, they make the gesture of eating, and call upon the bear to devour them in like manner, if they do not tell the truth. Artificial Stone.— This singular substance, the discovery of which in Ohio was announced some time ago, has grown into much favor with the public. It is found that when applied as a coating, it renders the wood perfectly weather and fire proof. In its original state it is as soft nearly as putty, hut on being exposed in the at mosphere it becomes as hard as stone. O 3 A machine for making flour barrels lias re cently been put in operation at Oswego, N. Y. which employs fifty to 75 men, and titans out easily 400 flour barrels in a day. The barrels made by this machine are said to be superior in many respects to tnosc mode in the ordinarv way. Ho for California.— The Federal Union ofthe3dinst. says: “The followingyoungmcn from this city and its vicinity, left last week for California, viz: Ellsworth N.Park, Bollig Breed love, T. \V. White, F. 11. Sanford, Starke Park, E. King, and T. D. Edwards. They unite with others at Atlanta, and proceed thence to St. Louis. At this place they design providing themselves with conveyances, and then take the Independence rout, via, Santa Fe. In the de parture of such young men as these, Georgia sustains a loss. But it is in their power to ren. der her in the El Dorado to which they go, es sential service. They carry with them southern hearts, glowing with devotion to the clime which gave them birh. They will have a voice in the counsels that will controul the future destinies of that new territory. Little as the State can afford to spare such men, we should rejoice to see thousands and tens of thousands like them, departing from the Southern States for the same destination.—lt is in this way, and perhaps in this way alone, that the future political institu tions of California can be made to harmonize with our interest and the constitutirnal rights of the South be secured. The young gentlemen who have left, carry with them the best wishes of their numerous friends, for their future welfare and prosperity.” Wonderful Balloon Ascension and Ex" plosion.— At New Orleans recently M. Victor Verdale, a Frenchman announced that he would ascend with his balloon at 4 o’clock, not as is customary, in a car, but attached to the balloon by a rope, his “ feet to heaven, head to earth," and so ascending, would perform some most wonderful serial feats, which he did. The after noon was exceedingly favorable for the daring aeronaut, but an accident occurred as lie started which placed him in gaeat danger, as the event showed. It seems that when all was ready for the ascent, and the word was given to let go, a rent of some four feet was made in the balloon by getting foul of a post. The gas, of course, commcuced escaping, the balloon at the same time rising majestically, and Verdale going through his novel performances, to the great de light of the assembled multitude. The balloon did not rise to a very great height, but went off steadily in a northern direction, the gas all the time making its escape. On arriving over the Ponchartain Railroad, third Municipality, hor rible to relate, the balloon exploded, and pre cipitated him to the earth from a distance of 7000 leet ! and what is more astonishing he was not *he least injured. He owes his miraculous es cape of death to a rose bush in the garden where he landed. The wind being very strong the bal loon was in a measure kept up in such a manner as to break the fall. [This is the greatest lent ofground and lofty tumbling, in the annals of the flights of fancy, or fortune.] Canada.— The Philadelphia Saturday Even ing Post, says “ there is at present great discon tent among the English population of Canada, in consequence of the passage of a very singular bill by the Canadian Legislature—where the lib eral or French party have the majority. It is a hill appropriating a large sum of money to pay the participators in the rebellion of twelve years ago, the amount of the losses incurred by them during the rebellion. The English portion oj the population, who supported the Government during the rebellion in question, are highly in dignant at the passage of this bill—which only needs the signature of the Governor General, to become a law. They talk even of Independence, of Annexation to the United States,&c., in case the Governor gives his assent to the bill. It is our opinion, however, that the French party have only to take them at their word, and pro pose to unite with them in obtaining their inde pendence of Great Britain, to drive them back into their old, unreasoning ioyalty to the British crown. Such ultra loyalists as the British Can adians have always had the credit of being, would endure almost any amount of bad treat ment from the parent State, before they would leave off snarling, and really prepare to bite. Our readers will remember the old argument for the annexation of Texas, that it was needed to make a pretty boundary line. We notice that some of the papers are already taking simi lar ground relative to Canada. Any one will perceive, they say, by turning to the map that the parallel of 49 degrees is the natural bounda ry line of the United States—instead of the crooked and ugly line of the St. Lawrence and the lakes. Canada juts down into our territory, as if longing to be embraced by the Union. And if this be true of Canada, it is equally true of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Earthquakes in the Western Islands.— The Azores have been kept in a state of constant alarm for nearly two months past by a succes sion of earthquakes, which had thrown down many houses and churches on these islands. The alarm was heightened to an intense con strnation one night in December by the appear ance of a brilliant aurora borealis in the west. Such a phenomena is without a precedent in that quarter. Patent Smoke Consumer.— The New Or leans Bulletin says : “ Wo visited a few days since, the steamer Buena Vista, and our attention was attrracted by a newly arranged furnace, for the purpose of consuming smoke and catching sparks, and thereby saving a large quamtity of fuel. We learned from the officers that the im provement is the invention of Mr. Harvy Guild, of this city, and that it promises to be of the greatest importance. They inform us that it has enabled the Buena Vista to make her trip to St. Louis in a day and a half less time than formerly required, and with a saving of some twelve per cent, in fuel. From what we saw, the improve ment is extremely simple, and very easily appli ed. It is well worth public attention. (O 3 Feed the earth, and she will feed you ! act liberally toward her, and she will liberally reward you. It is in vain, as the New England Farmer says, to try to cheat her. If you give her little,you need not look formuch; she will yield but little. Statue of Jackson. —A Correspondent of the Baltimore Clipper, writing from Washing- 1 (On, speaks thus of the progress of Mr. Mills who is engaged in the construction of the Statue of Jackson : “The rooms of Mr. Clark Mills, near the Treasury Department, have, within the last week, been visited by hundreds. He has compietled the piaster inode! of a horse, (one third larger than life.) rampant, on which is to be a repaesentation of Jackson, as he appeared at New-Orleans in 1815. The casting is to be of brass, of the cannon captured by him in Florida. The foundation stone is to he laid in Lafayette square on the 4th of July next, and the statue placed there on the Bth of January, 1850.” Eiri-osios at Pittsburg. At 11 o'clock on the 26th ult. the boilers in Fife's batting Fac tory, in Allegany city,exploded, carrying away the roof of the building, and throwing the boilers forty feet. Five bodies have been dug out of the ruins, but there are others badly injured. Mr. J. Fife was among the killed. Such was the terrible force of the explosion that five dwellings situated near the factory were destroyed ! An investigation is to be made into the cause of this awful calamity. CrMr. Hannegan, our Minister to Berlin, has received his commission, drawn his outfit, and is now on his way to Europe. U ,, The Ringgold Republican states that the iron, in part, for the State Road has reached Dalton, and will be immediately put on the track from Dalton to the Tunnel, which will complete that portion of the work. Fire. — We learn from the Muscogee Demo crat of the sth inst. that the Stables of Messrs. Mustian & Mott, at Columbus, were consumed by fire on the 3d inst. Loss about $2,000 —Mr. J. J. Sutton also lost about SSOO worth of car penter’s tools, Sic. which were in the building. Crevasse. —lt is said that almost the entire country west of the Mississippi, for thirty miles into the interior, is under water, from near Point Chicot down to Red river, embracing the South Eastern part of Arkansas and the contiguous por tions of Upper Louisiana. Gen. Taylor’s plan, tation is said to be entirely under water. Conundrums. —What rose is without a thorn? —the prim- rose. Why are buckwheat cakes like catterpillars ? Because they make the uuiiet-jly. Why is a gunsmith’s shop like a chicken pie? Becasue it contains fowl-in-pieces. The Law of Newspapers. 1. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary, are considered as wishing to con tinue their subscriptions. 2. If the subscribers order tho discontinua tion of their papers, the publishers may continne to send them till all cash charges are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse take their papers from the offices to which they are directed they are held responsible till they have settled their bill, and order their paper discontinued. 4. If subscribers remove to other places with out informing the publishers, and the paper is sent to the former direction, they are held re sponsible. 5. The Courts have decided that refusing to take a paper, or periodical from ths office, or re moving and leaving it uncalled for, is “prim® facie” evidence of intentional fraud. Postmasters are requested to keep a copy of the above rules, and show it to persons who may decline taking their papers out of the respective offices, without having paid up all arrearages for the same.
