MR. GARDEN.
W< were indebted yesterday morning to
Charles Collins, Esq., for a basket of strawber
ries not one of which would have measured less
than three quarters of an inch ;n diameter, (the
breadth.) and some much larger. Tn theeven
i.. >, on his invitation, we rode out tolook at his
strawberry garden. 11 is a wonderful—a beau
tiful sight. The most of his plants arc the
Hovey seedling, and they are literally red with
», rriv<- He thinks the yield of an acre during
the M-asun. will be hardly less than sixty bush
via. andafter seeing them we are prepared to
believe almost any representation of the kind.
His favorite variety, however, is the Albany
*c;dling, an hermaphrodite variety, which he
h:»- procured within the last two years, and is
»<>w propagating in preference to all others.—
This is a very large, thrifty vine—a splendid
bear r, ami the fruit of astonishing size and
tine 11 in or. A row of about twenty or thirty
f. et h iixth hail already yielded several gallons,
tuvl ua> then loaded with ripe and maturing
fruit. Mr. Collins said that, with proper care,
two or three such rows would be sufficient to
supply any ordinary family with abundance of
fruit during the season, and that a judicious
fn< nd had estimated the yield at 100 bushels
p r e. We believe the average size of the
ripe lurries on these vines could not be less
than fiie-eighths of an inch in diameter, meas
uring the breadth and not the length. The
Peabody prolific, he has discarded as worthless.
This show of strawberries far exceeds anything
~f the kind we have ever seen.'
APPEAL TO TIIE COTTON PLANTERS.
At the of the President of the Cot
ton Planter's Convention, we will keep before
the public for a few weeks, his appeal to the
Plante *r.‘ for a full representation at the meeting
of the Convention in June next. He presents
■ t important considerations why the Cotton
planting interests should take hold ol this sub-
t. now it is fairly initiated, and strike at once
-,>'tbi;ial independence. It can be achieved
easily—profitably. ’-Ye have but to will it
and our trade can be transferred directly to Eu
—the importer’s profits saved, and cheaper
and better goods furnished for our own con
sumption. imported by our own merchants.—
The Foreign manufacturers will venture half
wsy in this undertaking, and if they had the
< courage of their Northern rivals
they would *ro agl>od deal further than that.
If we will reflect for one moment upon the
undeniable reactionary state of political feeling
n< w existing in the Northern States, and its
cause, we shall see at a glance where the true
Southern policy lies. The very slightly dimin
ish I trade with this section was sufficient, last
fall, to call into action the most earnest efforts
of the commercial and manufacturing interests
to migrate the fanaticism of the North, and it
.s ’....ra11y certain that by a serious and persist
ent diversion of trade, we can address ourselves
directly to the great body of the Northern vo
ters. We can bring them to terms, and de
monstrate, in this way, the absurdity of the
••irrepressible conflict, ’ a thousand times more
clearly and forcibly than by public speeches and
P<>bt cal documents. Let us call on old King
Cotton to defend his own realm.
BAILEY’S VARIETIES.
This troupe have succeeded in attracting a
crowded audience to their performances at
RaNton s Hall. Lust evening they played “Our
Am. ricin Cousin,” one of the richest comedies
in the English language, to a full house, and
e. ldom has an audience been more delighted.
Th- evening the great moral drama of “'ihe
Fireman.' i> on the bills, ami we ’.espeak them

[COMMVXU ATEI» ]
Convention of Young Bien's Christian As
sociations at New Orleans.
M'MBEK roil?.
ADDITIONAL MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
Many inti resting subjects were discussed in
thi< Convention, some of which involved ques
tions of vital importance to the cause. These
questions were thoroughly discussed, wisely
determined, and most amicably adjusted. The
Convention discovered a disposition, on the part
of some of its members—arising purely from
want of due reflection as to tendency and bear
ing—to transcend the bounds marked by the
original land-marks of the Young Men’s Chris
tian Associations—a tendency to unwarranted
innovation upon the original design of the ord
c fliis was, practically, an error of policy
' yg “h.bitcd in the call for an endowment
fund pw, the confederated body monied pow
er. This step tended, in the vew of the Con
™- *° <<?« of centra/,
which it wisely and promptly determined to
snpiwess. The sense of this Convention clear- •
ly was, not to have an endowment f un d, even if
presented by gratuitous contribution; and un
der the same view the “Young Men’s Christian
Joums-l " was discontinued. By these decisions
ol the Convention, the confederation determin
ed that the Young Men’s Christian Associations
are to be considered as merely social bodies, or
ganized for the accomplishment of good in the
immediate communities in which they are re-
spectively located. Let all fears, then, and
jealousies on the part of the regular Christian
Ministry, in regard to encroachment upon their
domains, be banished ’ (hir Associations mean
only to assist them in the great work of doing
good, and direct their special energies to vorxc,
men, who certainly constitute the hape of the
church, as well as the boast of the country.—
Reports of the various Associations represented
in the Convention, showed convincingly that
much good was really being accomplished; that
the means employed by Associations for uni t
ing christiabs upon the common basis of Bible
truth, were proving wonderfully efficient in ac
complishing this great desideratum. The Re
ports were highly gratifying, and greatly en
couraged the hearts of the members to renewed
zeal and energy in the work.
The entire session of the Convention was
harmonious and pleasant, and many thanks are
due the Christian brethren and good citizens of
New Orleans for their kindness and hospitalitv
as exhibited to us—strangers away from home.
They made every possible contribution to our
comfort and enjoyment, and in return we would
implore the blessings of heaven upon them.—
The business of the session having been finish
ed, the convention decided to meet next year in
St. Louis. Previous to adjournment, we at
tended en masse a public cantata or coronation
of the Rose, played by the juvenile lassies of N.
Orleans, and most charmingly did they sing.—
The honored Queen not only outshone the oth
ers in beautj’, but she warbled a voice of ex
ceeding richness and mellifluence. May their
young hearts be as radiant with Christian love,
as were the flowers they severally represented,
radiant with beauty and loveliness. Having
listened to the farewell addresses, with “heavy
hearts and glad,” we took the parting hand and
soon rejoined the loved ones at home.

instance. It is what it professes to be, and has, until
very recently, remained a profound secret. Its virtues
have been thoroughly tested, and indisputable testimo- '
ny can be produced in its favor. In the multitude of ca
ses where it has been used, I have never known a case,
however desperate, In which the bowels have not been
speedily and permanently relieved. All that I ask is,
that the public will try it, and if it is not what it is rep
resented to be, then I am willing to acknowledge it a
humbug. " J. M. WALDRL P.

To the Cotton Planters of Georgia.
PERIiT, May 4, 1860.
“tir earnest and personal attention is called to
ne cotitt'initiation of the “ Uottnn Planter’s Conven
i<»n of the J*late of Georgia.” You are requested to
i Lend its annual session, and become members,
| ON THE 2d WEDNESDAY IN JUNE NEXT, IN
MACON.
she great purpose of this organization, is to pro.
mote the interests of Cotton Planters. In this ad
dress I will allude to some of the means used, and
I others proposed to be used,, for the purpose of accom
plishing this object.
That larger numbers of people, everywhere, de
rive their support from Cotton, than from any other
. commercial commodity, is a self-evident faeUand
I requires no argument for its elucidation.
I Believing that very many of these people are usa
i less in the transaction of Planter’s business the
i C onvention is employed in devising means to re
-1 duce their number, as well as to reduce the unrea
sonable charges of those whose services are neces
| sary It is both unreasonable and unjust that the
Planters should be required to share, with so many,
the fruits of his capital, skill ami industry. Now it
is obvious that if the Planters can shake off a por
i tion ot these useless agents, who have fastened and
fattened on his sustenance, the amount pa d to them
will be reserved to himself, and to that extent he
will be benefitted, for “ money’ saved is money
made.”
Another means of promoting the interests ot
j Planters is by establishing Direct Trade with
foreign countries; this will be done, first by pur
chasing from the manufacturer, and secondly by
, selling directly to the manufacturer; thus in the
i first place, the goods will be purchased cheaper, and
in the second place Cotton will be sold higher, be
! cause it will be sold at the retail price. The details
of this arrangement are now being established.
In order that ..he above statement may be under
stood 1 submit the following, addressed to David K.
Dillon, of Savannah:
“ Being informed that yen intend to give out con
tracts fi.r well made bools and shoes, for the South
America market, and that to this end, there have
been made sample boots, we now take the liberty’ to
I hand you our price current, with the remark that
! we are ready to furnish samples of our workman
i ship.
Calf skin boots of best French leather, per dozen
4-> rix dollars, or 3| rix dollars per pair.
Calf skin, double-soled, per dozen, 48 rix dollars,
or 4 rix dollars per pair.
Calf-skin boots with cork soles, per dozen, 50 rix
dollars, or 4 1-6 rix dollars per pair.
Glazed boots with colored legs, per dozen 57 rix
dollars, or 4$ rix dollars per pair.
Respectfully,
H. Schultze A Co.,
Boot and Shoe Manufacturers.
Bremen, March 22,1860.”
[The rix dollar is worth about 78 cents.]
It will be seen from the above exhibit, that the
Foreign manufacturer can furnish the article of
Boots, at less than one-half the price paid for the
same article when purchased in N< w York and sold
I in the South I And so on with all other articles.
The Convention has nothing to do with party poli
tics, nor dare I, as one of its officers, meddle with
things of that sort. Ido not propose to do so when
I say, every instinct of patriotism, every sense of
justice, requires that we should encourage and pro
mote every effort which is calculated, in any way, to
contribute to the establishment of Direct Trade; for
j by this means we shall not only promote the inter
j ests <>f Planters, but serve the cause of the country at
large.
The Northern States of the Union are engaged in
schemes ot deadly hostility to the common constitu
tion and the institutions of the Southern States. To
the contemplative mind this is not only manifestly
wrong, it is madness. The Northern States requite
800,000 bales of Cotton annually, to supply their fac
tories—they also depend upon the South to purchase
a large portion of the articles they manufacture
from the Cotton ; now it would seem reasonable that
the Northern States should exhibit, much solicitude
in keeping open these sources of commerce and
wealth, instead of which, the course they pursue is
calculated, it successful, to defeat themselves by its
inevitable results. Is it necessary to say that frtela
bor, however organized, cannot produce one-half of the
Cotton required? Is it necessary to say'that the
amount of Cotton required can only be produced, bi/
slavelabor? Has not England, with every desira
ble means at her command, made the experiment in
the East Indies, of growing Cotton by free labor, been
j compelled to acknowledge the experiment a failure?
I Has not France tailed in her African experiment,
j after the most earnest trial ? And every where, over
the world, where efforts have been made to grow
Cotton profitably, by free labor, the efforts have re
sulted in failure. Indeed, if the South were to establish
a system of free-labor for the purpose of growing Cot
ton, under the very best arranged system, the. effort
would be, to a very great extent, a failure. Notwith
standing these indisputable facts, the Northern
States, under the influence of political demagogues
and hypocritical preachers, are engaged in the sui
[ cidal effort ot establishing abolitionism; whereas, if
I that be done they are to be the greatest sufferers !
. New York is the principal city where our mer
: chants ob’ain their supplies. Hence come our 'fash
! ions. We purchase things imported from N. Y’ork,
j rather than from any other place* Now, the Con
■ vent ion proposes, by Direct Trade, to obviate the
' necessity of purchasing in New York, by having im
ported, direct to Savannah, the articles now pur
l chased by our merchants in New York, and retailed
i to their customers. The State of New York, (the
residence and supporter of Seward, the embodiment
of abolitionism,) is as conspicuous as any other in
i opposition to slavery; therefore, Southern merch
i aiits should refuse to make their purchases in the
1 city of New York, and the Southern people should
refuse to deal with those merchants who will stil
continue to purchase there, more particularly and
especially as by Direct Trade the same articles of
merchandize can be procured at a reduced price to
both merchant and customer.
A Fair is contemplated to be held in the city of
Macon, during the month of December next. There
will be exhibited at that time and place, not only a
large collection of articles usually exhibited at Fairs,
but a large amount ot Foreign goods, imported di
rect from the countries in which they have been
manufactured : thus, the people will have an oppor
tunity of ascertaining the truth of the statements
made in this address. For the purpose of insuring
j the success of this arrangement, the Convention has
i sent abroad its agents.
T1 is entire proceeding has been adopted primari
. ly, tor the benefit and advantage of the Cotton Plan
! ters of the State of Georgia ; it is certainly reason
able to say, that every Planter in Georgia, whether
he grows many or few bales, should give the Con
vention his hearty support. Heretofore, compara
tively but few have had toperform the labor and
sustain the expense necessarily connected with the
undertaking ; it i i hoped that Planters everywhere,
will feel it their duty to attend the meeting in June,’
and identify themselves with the Convention.
Editors friendly to the Convention are requested
to publish this address.
