THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN. THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN SAffl’L B. CRAFTON, COUNTV PRINTER. TERMS—For the paper In advance It norpaid in advance, $1 50 $2 00 y Presidential Frospeets. The New York Herald, of Oct. 1., con tains a table which exhibits the popular vote in the State Presidential elections which have occurred since 1824. Takiuo- these figures as its data, the Herald af- teinpts to solve the problem, now enframin'* the thoughts of so many—what will be the issue oi the present canvass. The conclu sion reached is that Pierce will bo elected President by a “probable plurality of ninety three thousand votes in the several States and one hundred and eighty two electoral votes in the Union.” Now, we would particularly refer our readers to the elections recorded in our ta bles, together with the estimates fouude'd on the figures which we make of the prob able results ol the present contest between Scott and Pierce, founded on the facts of all the previous elections, is perfectly startling. We can hardly credit it while wo set it down; yet it is accurately calculated as any preceding election result that has ta ken place tor the last thirty years. Tho defeat ot Mr. Van Buren in 1840 was prefigured by the Democratic defeat ot 1838 and 1839; the triumph of Polk in 1844 was founded by the gradual-triumphs in the Democratic State elections during t the previous three years ; the great demor- alizatiou of the Whig party was typified by the conflicts between Gen. Taylor in 1848 was indicated in the defeat of the Demo crats in the State elections in the precedin'* - year. 1 3 According to all these incontestiblo faots furnished by the history of tho past, wo must arrive at the inevitable conclusion that Gen. Pierce will be elected in the elee- tion ot next month, by an overwhelming majority. Every State election for tho last three years, up to the recent elections since the nominations have been made has inva riably pointed out the gradual increase and re-union of the democrats, as well as the de- ciease in power and the demoralization of the whig party throughout the Union. There is more confidence placed by the Southern States in the promises ard pledg es of the democrats, under Pierce, than there is in those of the whigs, headed by Gen. Scott and steered by Wm. H Seward. The new bom zeal ot the Van Burens of this State, in favor of Pierce, does not even eeem to detract from or lessen the confi dence which the South places in the sound constitutional principles of the Northern democrats. The Van Buren free soil diffi culty in 1848 was a sudden and personal movement, contrary to the principles of his whole life, and repented of as soon as per petrated. Wm. H. Seward’s principles of aboiition are at the foundation of his career, his rise in public life, and his hopes for tho future. Hence it is that the Southern States, and those who are in favor of the constitutional union of this great republic have more confidence in tho inteority of the democracy on these points, at this cri sis, than in that of the whig party. Such are the general views with which we accompany these important and valua ble tables of election results for the past thirty years. According to all rational con tusions, founded on facts and on natural inferences, it would appear that General ocoti has not the slightest chance of reach ing the Presidency, and that all the milita ry popularity attributed to him is an utter and unqualified absurdity in the history of politics in this country. Our elections have been decided by other causes and springs than those arising from military popularity SANDERSVILLE, GEORGIA- TltSB.IV OC’T. 12, ;i*52. §t.

The past week has given us some of the warmest weather that we have ever seen at this season, the Mercury standing for several days above 90, within tho last day or two however, there has been a change in the atmosphere, and to yesterday it was begining to bo somewhat more pleasant. On Saturday night we had very heavy rains, and considerable wind which jit is feared has done considerable damage to the Cotton, as there was a great deal of it open in the fields, the previous weather having been such as to cause it to open faster than it could bo gathered. AST A friend has handed us the follow ing simple mode of calculating tho contents in bushels of any ascertained space. It will be interesting and useful to formers in ma king calculations of corn, grain, crops, &c: To ascertain the contents of a crib or barn, multiply tho length, breadth, and depth in feet together, from that product deduct one fifth, and the result will be the contents in bushels. If strict exactness be required,! ad d four and a half to every thousand bushels found, or in that ratio. This rule is founded upon the ratio which a solid foot bears to a bushel, and will an swer for practical purposes. CERES. Gov. Troup.—Telegraphic despatches to tho Montgomery, (Ala.) papers say that Gov. Troup of this State has accepted the nomination of the Southern Rights party of Alabama for Presidency. At Columbus, in this State, they have nominated Jno. A. Jones of Paulding and Tucker of Randolph, as candidates for electors for the State at large, aud Alex H. Cooper of Columbus, as a candidate for elector in that District, and recommend others Dis triets to nominate for themselves. The Tugaloo Movement.—The Cass- ville standard, one of the Tugaloo instru ments in Cheokee, has the most cheering accounts from theconnties of Franklin, Hall and Habersham. Gen. Wofford has taken the stump, and is waking up passengers at a'terrible rate. The Union men, says the Standard, are just beginning to wake up to the interest of,the party, that is to say, they have just begun to smell the savory odor from tho flesh pots of office, they have a little sten of their own, and if it serves no other good purpose will wake up their drowsy fellow-sufferers once and a while, and make them lend a hand to keep the Union of tlie oth and 6th straight. State Census. The Milledgeville Re corder says it hus been requested to call at tention of the persous appointed to take the Census, to the section in the Act which res quires them to deposit their returns with ^ | *• ofs "p erior Courts fortbo Harrison, and Taylor would never have el- ’ clifferent counties, to be certified to, under evated any ot them to the Presidency with out the combination of other political, so cial, commercial and financial causes con curring in those particular time and junc ?ures. The free soil vote, bereft of its Van Buren influence, which gave it a factitious importance in 1848, will be reduced - to its natural dimensions. The contest will be Bimilar in its general features and character to those which have marked the historvof the country for the last twelve years ; but it will be the l§st contest between tho dem ecratie and whig parties under these par ticular appellations. If the democratic party be triupbant—as every figure seems to indicate it will—the whig party will sink into total extinction. Hereafter it will be ruled in conjunction with the abolition sec tion, and William H. Seward, defeated in carrying General Scott into the Presidency, Will fall back on his orignal principles of ag itation, abolitionism, and demagogucism, out of which he sprang, and by which he has reached his present position. Who is to be the next President ? The figures of thirty years past indicate that Cun. Pierce, by the present combination jnd complication of parties, will be elected President over Genera!

The Seventh Annual Exhibition of the Southern Central Agricultural Society will be held at Macon commencing on Tuesday next, the 19th inst., and will continue du ring that week. Of course a large number of people will gather there, but we dare say that the ac commodations will be ample for all who go. The Fair Grounds are located in an eligible part of the city, and the arrnange- ments for the accommodation of Exhibitors Yellow Fever aud Savanuah. The citizens of Savannah have been quite astir’the'past week on account of three sporadic cases of Yellow fever which were detected in the city. The Courier first made the'announcement, and thereby pro cured for itself the censure of that class to be fouud in every trading community, who are continually tormenting themselves with the fear that something will be done to the injury of trade. They have quarreled and grumbled at the Courier so much about it and spectators will bo greatly improved that we in the country might have been led over those of the last year/ For those who can conveniently leave their homes, we know of no place where they could more profitably or pleasantly pass a few days, and thus give their presence and support to a society which is destined at no distant day to wield a vast influence over tho agri cultural interest of our section of the coun try. Its influence has indeed already been felt, though through the greater part of its existence it has had to contend against the carelessness and indifference of those whose interests it proposes to foster and advance, but its brighter days are now begining to dawn and we hope they will brighten till its benign influence is spread throughout our State. Wo see that the Agricultural Society of this county have appointed a del egation. Tho Hon. Wm. H. Crawford will deliver the Annual Address on Thursday of that week, aud a Lecture will be delivered sometime during the week by Col. Sumner of South Carolina.

T>ut it is proper to listen to the occasional reports of the managers of the campaign. On both sides, they have already “counted out.” On the Pierce side the strongest count, to wit: 182 electoral votes.. On the Scott side, it is l79electo ral votes. The State of Maryland is claimed with- great pertinacity byIboth,sides. New York, where Scott was so for behind, as to be out of sight, is now an even bet, in the consid eration of shrewd and observing men of both sides. On the other hand, Pennsyl vania given up alraosbatone time to Scott, s now confidently claimed by the Demo crats, and even bets are made on its vote. The state of popular feeling on the subject is difficult of discovery, because there is nothing depending on the issue that much interests the people. to believe that there was something more serious in its appearance than was announc ed. We are glad to learn however, that so few cases have occurred in that city, and of its total disappearance. At a meeting of a board of.the Physicians on Friday, the following resolutions were passed. Resolved, That the Physicians of the City hereby assure the public, that all the cases of Yellow Fever, which have occurred this fall, in the city so for as they are aware (except a case which came direct from Charleston, about the middle of August, and which was carried to the City Hospi tal,) were reported to the Board of Health at its regular meeting, on the 6th of Octo ber instant, which announted to only three; and that there is no tendency to such dis ease amongst us; and that, believing, if that ‘disease should appear in an epidemic form, it would be our duty to inform our fellow-citizens ofit, we will report fully and candidly to the Board of Health, any and all deaths which may occur from it in our practice. Resolved unanimously, That it is the opinion of the Physicians of the city, that the number of cases of disease, as also the severity of the ordinary climate .disease, is le s than it was a month ago.

Virginia. | JtSOr A pert young lady was walking one morning on th eSteyne, at Brighton, when she encountere dthe celebrated Wilkes: You see,” observed the lady, “I Lave come out for A' little sun and air." “You had better, ^nadam,get a little husband first.” Masonic Celebration in The Masonic fraternity of Virginia are ma king extensive preparations for celebrating the centennial anniversary of the initiation of George Washington, on the 4th day of November next, at Lynchburg, Va., by a public procession, oration, and a fair, to be held on the evening of that day, the pro ceeds of which are to be presented to the Washington National Monument fund.

Florida Election. — Tho Courier of Saturday says, that the partial returns from this State indicate the success of the Democrats. Iu Leon county, only one Whig member of the Legislature was elected, and the majority against Mr. Cabell for-Congress was 64 votes. New Book Store.—The Savannah Pa pers notices a new Book Store in that city, owned by Col. S. S. Sibley, late of the Sa vannah Georgian. His.Stock is spoken of as being fi ver} 7 large, useful and handsome collection. . . lere are in the United States, of Univei - 3alist societies, 1,091 ; of clergy- )) and of chuidies,' 828. No Politics.—The Macon (Geo.) Citi zens says;that the Executive Committees have mutually agreed to liave no political discussions in that city daring the week of the Fair. Pulmanory Diseases.—The New-York Evening Post says that the best physicians now generally reccommend their patients afflicted with pulmonic complaints, instead of going south, to take a trip in a cool and dry climate, where the temperature is more equable than on the sea shore. A medical man writing to the Boston Journal, from Rock Harbor, Lake Superior, says it is the country for those laboring under consump tion, w - ho are not too far gone with the dis ease. The air is so pure and dry that it imparts elasticity to the spirits, and infuses new vigor in the system. He has had the charge of a small community of one hun dred souls, and not one during the past winter has had a cough. From November to April not a drop of rain had fallen, and although the temperature is much lower than in tho Atlantic States, the people do not suffer so much from cold as they do where the climate is moister and the tem perature higher.

Important from Havana. The Cresxnt City Ordered from the Har bor.—Her Mails and Passengers brought to New Orleans.—Nfw-Ouleans, Oct; 6. The Cresent City arrived at this port to day. She reports that she arrived at Havana on Saturday last, but that all communication with the shore was forbidden by the Span ish authorities of the Island, on the ground that Purser Smith was on board .the steam er. The Cresent City was ordered to put to sea forthwith. Lieut. Porter, in com mand of the steamer, entered his protest against the action of the authorities, which was, however, wholly disregarded, and the Crescent City put to sea in a violent gale of wind. She was thus obliged to bring all her Havana passengers and mails to this city. Webster State Convention. — The Webster Whigs of Wisconsin have called a mass convention of their friends in that Slate, to be holden at Madison, on the 14th inst., to elect a State electoral ticket, and also to choose a candidate for Vice Presi dent. Another Cutrage on the American Flao.—Advices from Havanna, received at New York by the crescent City, state that a passenger on board the Cornelia, Capt. Ward, from New York, had been seized under our flag, and lodged in one of the Havana jails; also, that the letter bag of vessel was taken and ransacked at the office of tho Political Secretary. A some what similar indignity was offered to the Clnlde Harold, another American vessel, a fe« days after, though none of her passen gers were disturbed. Verily these Spaniards are suffering for a castigation. We observe that the Postmaster of. New Crleans has sent the mails which the Cres cent City should have left at Havana to Mobile, for transmission by the steamship Black Warrior to that Port. Much excite ment.prevails in New Crleans relative to the conduct of the Havana authorities, in refusing admission into their port of the Crescent City. A large indignation meet ing was held Thursday evening at Banks’ Arcade. A Georgia Piano at the 'Fair.—Th e Augusta journals state thatMr. P. Brenner of that city will exhibit at the ensuing State Agricultural Fair, which comes off the pres ent month, a very beautiful and elegantly finished instrument, of his own manufacture, which is said to be quite a creditable pro duction, both as regards tone and finish. SST A meeting of the Executive Com- mitte of the Independent Third party is to be held in Macon on Saturday evening the 16th inst., at the office of the Journal & Messenger. gST W. A. McEwen, of Cincinnati, charged with setting on foot an expedition to revolutionize Cuba, was held to bail in the sum of $10,000, last week, by Judg e McLean, of the U. S. Circuit Court for Ohio’ His t rial is to take place at Columbus on the third. Tuesday of this month. Spanish Insolence—Outrage upon the American Flag.—The conduct of the Span ish authorities iu Cuba in not permitting the Crescent City to land her mails or pas sengers at that port, is only a manifestation of the insolent arrogance of the petty despo tism by which that lovely Island is cursed. Our flag has been insulted, the l ights of our citizens outraged, and our commerce ob structed by the caprice of the Captain Gen eral under the pretext that Mr. Smith, Pur ser of the ship, is an obnoxious individual— he is a republican and is supposed to sym pathize with the oppressed Cubans. This outrage is the legitimate result of the past forbearance, we had almost said degrading submission of our government and her rep resentatives in Cuba, to the insults, outra ges, and barbarities of the minions of Span ish power who disgrace the name of govern ment on the island. Does any one believe that under similar circumstances, a British steamer would have received similar treat ment? No. Will our Government submit to the last degradation that can be heaped upon it? For the sake of our national fame, we hope not. The time has come when our natioual rights, honor and dignity, must be asserted and maintained, or our name will become a by-word and a reproach among the nations. Our Government cannot lon ger submit to these^pepeated annoyances and indignities. The honor of our flag must be maintained on our own continent at least, and if this scion of Spanish despo tism cannot exist in our vicinity without be ing a source of continued annoyance, it must be bauished to the Old World, there to perish with the odious and rapidly de caying system to which it belongs. Texas Productions. The following extract of a letter, written by an intelligent planter of Texas, formerly of Montgomery Co. Ala, to his friend in the this city, may be relied on, implicitly. The writer is well known to us, aud* we know him to be incapable of any exaggeration in it be the sagacious seller, who is looking to a removal to the great South West. I con sider my lands worth $20 per acre and would not take it to day; and yet I only gave $1 per acre, to begin my settlement with and have since bought at much less rates* lands lying adjacent to me. ’ You are mistaken about the lands in Ba. ker County producing more cotton than our uplands. My cotton has grown too large and is too thick to make as much as it would if the contingences could have been foreseen which have produced this result. The dis^ tance between our rows is 5 feet and the limbs of the cotton are so interlocked as to make it difficult to get through it. I have not an acre but would reach your shouldev3 on horseback. If we had had dry weather in July and August, our cotton would have done much better. Recently we have had incessant rains^and cotton began sprouting in the bole. The caterpillar made its ap pearance two weeks since, and has spread over about 25 acres. The damage is much less than I anticipated. We are not so well advanced in picking our cotton as we were last year.. I have picked 51,000 pounds- and have it ginned and packed, ready for market. My son (W) measured and picked an acre of his cotton on the 27th of August and gathered 800 pounds. His form ^ad joining my plantation, and cost $1 per acre. My lands you have seen and know the quality well. I am on neither creek nor river, and hope never to cultivate any other than our uplands, which saves us from all apprehension when the flood gates are open ed and the waters descend and disease marches and counter-marches, up and down our big rivers. Thrice safe is he who has built among the bills and cultivates a more moderate soil, as I have chosen to do in coming ^o Texas. In conclusion, I would advise you and all your friends to come to Texas, and especial ly Mr. G. and others of Twiggs, whose farms 1 examined two years since, presenting a lamentable contrast with the; farms of thia country. Yours, &c., G. W. Letter of Messrs. Cuyler aud Hab ersham. The following letters from Messrs. Cuyler and Habersham, of this city, to the N. Y. Herald, will explain themselves. We need only remark that they were drawn out. by the publication, in the Herald, of a list of persons falsely charged with being engaged in a selieme for the revolutinizing of Cuba.— Sav. Republican. Savannah, Sept. 28, 1852. To the Editor of the New York Herald ; Sir:—In your issue of the 22a instant, you have published my name in connection with expeditions for revolutionizing the Is land of Cuba. You say you “procured” the list of names which you publish, and you have had the temerity to class me with “an inconsiderable section of the community who ba*e no conscientious scruples, bu^who- advocate, and seem to make preparation for another fillibustero expedition.” I have to say to you, that is a vile slander on me—a' most unmitigated falsehood. Te say that I feel deeply for the oppres- ed of the earth, and desire to see every, na tion as free as that in which my lot is cast, is only to express what every citizen of this republic feels iu his inmost heart. I sincere ly trust that Cuba may, by the valor of her own sons, be freed from the horrible despo tism which is crushing her; but I am, and ever have been, an open, undisguised ene my, of expeditions from the United States, raised to interfere with Ihe concerns of coun tries at peace with this. I am well known here, at ruy residence, to be no propagan dist of liberty—no secret violator of the law* of the laud, under the guise of that holy name, but on the contrary to be a plain, or dinary citizen, loyal to his country and obe dient to its laws. The administration of General Taylor and of Mr. Fillmore have had my feeble suppor f , and hearty thanks, openly expressed, for the stand which they took in reference to Cuba. I hope I may never forget the lessons of “the father of his country,” left as a precious leg acy to the people, or the noble answer of our present chief magistrate to the great Hungarian. ° I cannot permit myself to think that Gen eral Gonzales, who has freely enjoyed the hospitalities of my house and family, (ex tended to him most cheerfully, on a latter of introduction from a friend, now a Sena tor of the United States, to my son,) ever his statements of the remarkable fertility of I gave you my name as one in the most Singular Predicament of a Bank.— The Commercial Bank, at Albany, was closed on 2d irst., in consequence of the officers being unable to unlock a new patent lock on the front door.

ExSenator Hannegan Severe Frost in Boston.—“There was,” •ays the Boston Journal of the 3Qth ult., “a heavy frost in this vicinity last night, which has undoubtedly set its seal upon the further growth of dahlias, vegetation generally sunrise the mercury stood at 32 1-2 degrees.

It may, howev er, as well be stated, that the Major is no drone of a planter, and that to bis success ful cultivation of the soil, he is indebted for some considerable portion of his exhuberant crops:—Macon Citizen. . Montgomery Co., Texas, Aug. 29,1852. Dear Sir:—f received your letter of the 9th inst., and was glad to hear you were all well, and that your crops were so promising, particularly the corn. You say your river land will make 40 bushels of corn to the acre and ask if my upland will .do it. One of my near neighbors (Mr. R.) rode with me in my corn a few days since, and thinks it the best eared corn that he ever saw. He is of the opinion that it will produce 75 bushels per acre, and what gives his opinion weight is, that he is a Tennesseean. Sever al of my neighbors estimate their corn crop at 75 bushels to the acre, and I have offer ed to bet that I will beat any of them. I have given you the opinion of my neighbors, and will now give you mine. I think I shall average; from 60 to 60 bushels of corn in my whole crop. To see whether I am right or not in this, I intend to select an acre or two and have them measured, and will let you know the result. Onething is evident and it ought to be known in the older States, viz: we shajl have plenty of corn for immi grants next year, and that two, at greatly reduced prices. We*began very early (.Ju ly) to use it, but the great quantity grown forbids other than low prices. I am glad to hear that lands have risen in Georgia, though I doubt the permanency of the pres ent prices and am inclined to think they will recede, and no one be benefitted, unless hums Mi m —-i. M mote degree connected with his plans or views in regard to the Iibei ation of his coun try. His conduct here was that of a gen tleman, and for himself, as an exile from his native land, under condemnation of death for an alleged political offence, he had my warmest sympathy; but he never received— he never asked—any aid, advice, or counte nance, from me in any of his plans. Ho shall have my friendly feeling until I find that there is perfect evidence of his forfeit ure of it. I know not where you procured vour list. You have on it, let me inform you, the names of gentlemen who have had no more to do with theUuba movements than I have. Toall you have done great injustice. For myself I call upon you to give the authority on which you have u;ed my name, and publish this communication in your paper, with your reply. I ask this as a plain act of jus tice. Your obedient servant, R. R. Cuyler. Savannah, September 26, 1852,^ James Gorden Bennett, Esq: Sir-—In the Herald of the 22d inst., un der the head of “The Revolutionary Move ment in Cuba,” my name appears as one of those persons supposed to be thoroughly enlisted iu the cause of Cuban emancipa tion. As an act of justice, I trust you will make it public that my name has been used with out any authority from me whatever, and that I disclaim ever having had any con nection with such movement. Yours, very respectfully, Wm. Waring Habersham. H«i
