The importance on a caretal selection of seed seems
Sut little understood by planters. It is ns essential as
mifturing ?tn<4 proper culture. The following fro:
the .'touther* Cultivator cannot receive too much con
aidero tioa.
Mr. Editor . 1 have long been convinced ot the im
©oitance of selecting cottou seed t* plant .and l*alieve
it to be more impoitanl than selecting seed corn. V>
at! know that cotton is community degenerating. :• * t

prove tliiayou need only go * lil ° a cnttoa field an 1 you
will soon find n stock of Nankin cotton. Well how did
it come there ‘—there were none of the seed of that cot

cotton. Now take this Nankin cotton, pick out the
seed, end pin.it them toe next year,and you will h ue
mostly Nankin cotton ;but th re will he aoni'* as puie
“whit..-.is you ever BawaUbojgh there was not a single
need of white cotton planted.
Now, if what I said be true, (and I presume no one
acquainted with theoatton plant will deny it,) how im
portant is it that every man, who makes a business of
raising cotton, pay attention to aelecting Ins seed.—
What kind of corn w ould a man raiae, it he were to go in
to hi* crib, and gather promiscuously just nsli- cume to
it, auifdanl ip—.'ongeas short <*nes, rotten corn and

Sugar vs* l otion in the South.

The VYrtntfc of ninn.
Ononr first page, among other interesting matter, will
be f**und a Poem, bearing the above caption. It was
written by John Quincy Adams in 1810, w hile sitting
at his desk in the House of Representatives, and at the
request of several young Indies from Pennsylvania, who
desired hi* autograph. Mr. Arinins was (hen 74 years
of age, nn.l yet the poem was nil the vigor cf thought and
diction. n well ns the sprightliness and humor of youth, j
Ii displays in a most wonderful degree, the peculiarities
ot ih.it wonderful man. 1* developes many of his va
garies and ecceiitrici i s, and yet through it all there !
runs a deep, clear, powerful current of ducated thought, j
It will be rend with interest as well ns profit by all, and j
we trust none ot our readers will fail to peruse it.
A word ol ('Hiitiou.
The repeated robberies which have taken place in and
niourul Macon recently, must convince every one that
we have in our muLtsome professional burglars-—men
who are highly adept at die business. In repeated in
stances, houses and private rooms have been entered,
white ihe t < rupnnts were ns cep. and money, w ici. .-
• iver.ond jewelry abstracted. In some instances the
rogues hove been so pnitieular as to re-lock (he doors,
and leave every thing in its original condition. In value
tiie amount thus abitincled has generally not been very
prrnt; soil it Ins been quite enough lonlarm every on
for the security of life and property. The matter has
now leached u point which demands some decisive ac
tion, not only on the part of the Authorities, but of the.
citiaen* generally. The laws are ample and it will Is*
our own taul tit they are not executed. Suspicious per
9ona should be closely watched and the attention of the
officers directed to them. The vagrant laws should be
enforced against all persons having no ostensible mean*
of support and the most stringent fKilice regulations adop
ted. The present state of things is intolerable. The evil
comes to the fireside of every man, for there seems to
be no security at least in in common locks. Families
are wholly unsafe, whatever precautions may be adopt
ed. Even arms are useless, since they approach literal
ly, “as the thief in the night.” Whether it is the re
sult of Letheon, of Chloroform,or of the perfection of

is the same to those who lose, and the apprehensions of
families and females are increased in proportion to the
very mysterioesnegg of the transactions.
That Fine Cotton Igain.
Tiie Savannah papers recommend the Chamber of i
Commerce to accede to our preposition, in regard to j
Mr. Dinkins’ Cotton. Wc have conferred with Mr ’
I*, and he sanctions the proposition made in our last,
and says he will stand up to it: so all they have to do
is to produce the premiums, and the Cotton will be sent
foi w ard to Savannah, where the question can be settled.
The? Foreign Periodical*.
Wc take pleasure in calling the attention of ourrea
to the Advertisement of Messrs. L. Scott & Cos., in our

that no reading, thinking person in this country could ;
hesitate to pay the merely nominal price now charged
for these valuable Periodicals, containing as they do the
piouiictuns of the first minds in the l imed Kingdom
In fact, no mind can be said to be well informed, that j

People had grown extremely impatient of delays and in
obedience to tiieir wishes wi had seated ourselves for
the purpose of “rowing hb Lxceilency a short distance
up salt River” when we were agreeably surpris’d by ;h<
welcome intelligence just announced. As i: is always j
more pleasant to praise than censure, we take pleasure
in giving Gov. Towns all due credit for the fulfilment
of the public expectation in this particular. We hope
that he will either compel the engineer to carry out his
wishes or semi him adrfit and appoint one who will ex

Mr. Cls| in i tin* I . s. Neimti .
The Cincinati Chronicle, of Saturday ,haa the follow
ing:
“ We learn from reliable authority, that Gov. Owsly
will probably appoint Henry Clay as the successor <>
Mr. Crittenden, in the U. S. Senate. No man is au
thorised to soy, whether Mr. Clay would or would not
accept such an appointment.”
Col. Fremont*
The very able Washington correspondent of th*
i Baltimore Patriot, writing on the 6th inst, says:
j “It is not certain by any means that the Government
will accept the resignation of Lieut. Col. Fremont.—
He has not yet been notified that it lias been accepted.
Mutual friends of Col. Fremont and the President, ns
I understand, have exerted th*ir best endeavors to have
tiie Colonel retained in tli * service. It may he that the
acceptance or non : n o** ol hr* resignation, will
depend upon the dccissum of the S-nate in regard to the
Treaty.”
An Apology nod a l.ecturo.
We certainly owe an apology to the able and gentle
manly principal ol the Eats rang- female Seminary, I
lor our palpable and almost unpardonable neglect. We
promised a triend of the Institution several weeks since, !
ito publish some extracts front n letter of the Rev Dr 1
Church, President of the University at Athens. The
paper however was mysteriously spirited away, and we ‘
, could not recover it. It was accompanied hy a letter
from the Hon. Edward V Hill, presiding Judged the
Coweta Judicial District. Both were highly fluttering
to tin- spirited proprietor of the Institution, and warmly
commended the system of instruction adopted, the en
ergy and capacity of the Teachers, and the deportment
and srholstship of the pupils Such testimony ia n,tto ‘
be questioned, and it is perhaps enough to say, tlmt it
wua wholly unqualified in order to convince any one,
that it was luily deserved.

The Farmer’s Library* *
Wo have repeatedly had occasion to make favorable

nal of Agriculture, Edited by John S. Skisni r. Esq
and published by tlre-ly McElrath, of New-York.
Wc are happy T inform our Agricultural friends, that
the enterprise is now placed beyond all contingency,
and that the work is permanently, und must continue .
to be the grtvit national depository of information upon ;
Agriculture, and ail collateral subjects. As its name 1
imports, it is indeed Me Fanner’s Library. w*ll ns a

distine part-, the one devoted to the re-poblieation of
valuable s:a ulard works upon Agilcidture in ali its
departments; the other embraces, a journal of experi- ‘
inents in practical agriculture us well a u great variety
of well w itt n essays, of a suggestive and useful char
acter. The work is **o arranged und printed, that tiiese
pnrts can !>'f>ou.rJ separately and make each a volume
of between fee and mx hundred pages, per unuum.
I’hcy are magnificently emheiished with line wood and
steel engravings, illustrative of the subjects discussed-
In the nurnlvrs now ho fore us, we observe a great va
riety of Cuts illustrative of the different varieties of
blooded Sto-*k : also engravings of rare and curious
plants, of n i ulturul implements, of farm-houses,
barns, and n 1 the varieties of machinery used. The
Farmer’s Li mrywe venture to say. is not surpassed
either in mechanical execution or in amount and vari
ety of useful, practical reading matter by any si nilar
publication, either in Am*rica or Europe. It is the
more valuable because printed in a form which is easily
preserved and therefore will be more conveniently trans
mitted from father to Son, and will in time furnish ench
tiller of the soil, who possesses it, wiiu all that is use
ful or important to be known in order to secure success
in his honorable calling The day hns passed wiien
formers 6no planters ure to he content, with the mere
dray-ho; 8 drudgery of their occ put ion. Asa class
they are beginning to understand the value ol ben filing 1
by the experience ol each other. Tie oises upon prac- !
ticil tillage,and upon Agricultural Chemistry arc no
longer re raided as mere masses of learned balderdash,
and u is now well understood that those men who affect
to ridicule agricultural works only expose their own
own ignorance and want of enterprise*
Mr. Ssinner, the able indefatigable Editor of the
Fanners Library, has the singular lienor of he. g the
pioneer in this great reform. Ue was the Editor of the
first Agricultural work publifkc’d in America, and lias
labored more stcaddy and successfully in the cause
than any oilier gentleman in the nation. He is conflfe
qu* * ■ y better acq raided perhaps than any other, with
twth t!> ;l.eor'’ticaf and practical kg r: clture of the !
c tuny,and ihti'.un iseuui.ea to c.-p*cuil supjxni ,
and favor from the tillers of the soil. His work is pub- ‘
fished at the extremely low price of $5 per year, and j
affords nearly if not quite 1200 pages of valuable rend
ing matter. No Agriculturist ought to he without it.
und we defy any oi them m invest five dollars that will
yield them a greater or more certain return.

that the entire Whig ore** ot die country eliall by pre

potent reason amigned tor this movement is, that Mr.

For ourselves we will adopt no such mode of war

shallenjoy a complete monopoly of the husinosßof“cnll

adepis at the business, and can beat the verticalbsh*
woman in the nation at it. We cure not by what names
they designate the Whig Party so long as ns principles
are pure aud conservative un i its leaders are men ot
honor, and patriotism.
Besides the ; whole system of party warfurr pursued
by Riclde mid otlu-rs is a disgrace to the nation, it is
the result of a miserable spirit of ulhuimi which ought
to be universally condemned by all correctly dunking

My Du Colour! —Vour very kind communication, j
and the accompanying newspaper, have duly reach

sioitH, that 1 vw a Winn, though not hii ultra one ; and ;
i that I hao no dom e to ci nee at this fact from any 1

it but candid, however to add, that il the Whig party
desire at the next Presidential election, to cast their !
votes lor me, they must do it on their own responsibility,
nnd without any pi *dges from me.
Mi mid 1 bo elected to that offic*, I should deem it
to be my duty, and should most certainly claim the right
to look to the constitution and the high interest of our
common country, amt not to the principles of a party,
for my rules of action.
\\ ith my sincercst thanks for your expression of
friendship and my best wishes for your success through
id<\ 1 - ‘ it'iin, very truly, your friend and olicdicut scr
va;‘J- Z. TAYLOR.
The question now to he determined is, will the Whigs
i of the Union consent to support Gen. Taylor under the
ii! >ve quuhii -utiona. We have no hesitation in expres
( sing th** opinion that they trill , and that they ought to
do so.
Gui. Taylor comes before the country under no false
colors. He indulges in no concealment. He says to the
w . i< people, l am a Whig—though i am not violent or
ultra. 1 will press no measure upon Congress or the
country which is of an ultra or extreme character. As
a Whig I will net in good liiith to my Whig friends and !
Whig jirinciples ; but 1 will not be President of a mere
pnrty, nor the tool ot ultra, selfish, portizan Dema
: goguea Regarding honesty and patriotism as cardi
nal Whig pnnc ples, if I am to he the President of the
<•--1 y,i win subscribe to no dogmas, 1 will submit to
no trammels, and if chosen at all, I must go into the
White House as a free Agent—aa the lit representa
-1 live of a free government.
I ins is the position of Gen. Taylor, and we contend
liiat no true \\ big can object to it. t )ne of the strongest
arguments against Mr. Polk was, that lie was the mere
creature of a caucus, and that he degraded the dignity ol
the Presidency by allowing himself to lx* trammelled by
die resolutions ot the Baltimore Convention. Shill
we persist in placing our own candidate in a similar po
sition, especially when it would destroy the coiiserva-
U\ character of the Whig Party, and drive from us the
moderate, the thinking men, the true patiiotsof the op
position l We utter not a breath against Mr. Clay or j
h.s friends, but we must be allowed to remark, that 110
man in th - country sii ce the days of Washington, has
occupied so proud, -o enviable, so distinguished a posi
tion in regard to the Presidency, as does Gen. Taylor.
Thete is absolute sublimity in it. iie says to the peo
ple almost in so many words, the cup of my ambition
is full—the love and esteem of this vast nation is much
more grateful to me and my children, than the mere
ephemeral honors of the W hite House. 1 will not sac
rifice the one for the other, especially it I am required
to descend into the muddy arena of party strife, and
subject myself to :;c dt.bled and bespattered by every
contemptable scribbler and detainer in the land. Gen.
Taylor is light, and he will be sustained by the whole
country, even if it should blow the existing party organ
izations to atoms.
I’ll people of Georgia, have hail some wholesome
experience in this matter in the late canvass fur Gover
nor, and they wall not rashly exp<*se another Hero, who
has grown grey in the service of his country, to the
‘halls ot party malevolence. At the same time, there
is no inconsistency in the position which General Taylor
has assumed. He enn accept a nomination from any
parly, or any body of men who may see proper to ten-}
der him their support, because he does not decieve them
in regard to his principles. In the position assumed
then, we consider Gen. Taylor ;s right, r.nd the Whigs
ougntcoruiuily to sustain 11...1. it under the announce- 1
mom#* tipifii y gr 1. to t.ie world, Gen. Taylor is not
true to the principles of the Whigs, he would no 1
be true under any specific pledges which might be ex
acted by a Convention.

Generals Washington and Taylor.
The only objections which we have heard urged
against General Taylor, are
1. That lie is a military H< ro, and,
2d. ‘That he refuses to give pledges.
Now ii is a pity, a wondrous pity, that such objec
tors had not lived in the days of General Washington
*n order that they might have had an opportunity to
oppose him lor the same high office. lie too was a mil- |
itsry Hero. He too refused to give pledges, and what
is remarkable almost in the very w ords now* employed

Our able cotempoiary of the Richmond Times, !

too, that:

The Telegraphic report announcing an advance in
the I. pool Cotton Market, puhl-*Si*d in nr Ihk,
turns out to be correct, notwithstnnding the predictions
of some < I the knowing nm- to the contrary During
the fortnight ending on the 12ih ult. th re was n very
material improvement in monetary affairs. The rate
of interest hid still further declined, and money was
abundant a 3 per cent. ‘The prices of Biendptuft* hud
fallen, and the condition of the Manufacturing dis
tricts had correspondingly improved. The Consequence
was, that in the course of the fortnight 60,370 bags had
been sold at an advance, of a halt-penny upon the low
est rates of the season. The following arc the quota*
tions ns given on the 12th ult., viz :
Ncw-Orleans. ord. to mid, HI. a 11 !. per lb.; fair

fctained, 3RI. a Til.
‘Hie. improvement is attributed by the British opera
tors to the unfavorable accounts in regard to the extent
of the crop, which had generally been estimated in
Lnglnnd ut 2,399,000 hales. The truth seems at last
to have flashed upon the Manufacturer*, that the crop
wll not exceed two millions. The letter from which
we copy the above extract says :
“it will lie observed, that the greatest improvement
will he found in the low ami middling qualities. The
sabs for the weekending 4th inst., amounted to 34,630
hales, of which only 3000 were taken on speculation ;
and lor the week ending yesterday evening, the bu
siness done was 31.740 bales, of which *pcc dot ore have
taken only 2700 bales. Os this week's business, 7850

being n decrease of 45,000. ‘The stock in port is only
280,000 bales, which shows a reduction upon American
qualities of 143,000, compared with the stock held at
the corresponding period last year.
The failures had almost entirely ceased, and the im
pression seemed general in the commercial circles, that
the great crisis had passed. If such be the fact, we may
hope lor belter times, on this side of the water. Though
Cotton may not advance much if any upon present
rates, planters generally will be disposed to sell, and
an abundance of money, and a restoration of confi
dence will follow.
Hints to farmers and Planters*
The great error among our Southern Agriculturist 3
is that they cultivate too much land, and consequt itly
lose annually a large amount in the dead capital thus
unwisely invested. The same amount of money expen
ded in the improvement and manuring of a small place
which is required to purchase, a large one, would render
the former tiie most productive and consequently save
to the proprietor a round sum lor fencing, and other out
lays incident to a large landed estate. This is more
particularly the case where the occupation is farming
and where the h uds ore contiguous tc a city; but it is ap
proximately true,even in regard to the production of
cotton. There is scarcely a plantation in Georgia the
produce of which per acre, under a proper system of
culture, could not be doubled, trebled and even quadru
pled. We can scarcely realize the amount of produc
tion whicti can be made to reward the toil and care ol the
husban J.uan. The following statement of the annual
produci of the model farm belonging to the Blooming
dale Asylum near the city of New York, is furnished to
the Editors of the JV. York Tribune, by James Tal
madge, Esq secretary of the American Institute,
who mentions that it w ill appear in the forth coming
report of that body. Mr. Tahnadge n maiks:
“ 1 hasten to communicate the statement n? you. l>e
lieving it will be an exhibit of great usefulness: it il
lustuiics the bt i.tlits and the piotits which w ill arise
from t 1 operenre andcultivat onoi i:i. .-hi 1 , .t -i- .s
what you might expert to accomplish il the Legislature,
iu its w isdom, should gram the petition of the Ameri
can Institute, to establish an Agricultural School and
Experimental Farm near this Cny. 1 Iccl the exhi.it
inclosed is a volume of very uselul information. Il is
seed, from which, with suitable cultivation, Agricul
ture may raise very profitable cr p- ”
We hope that these and similar tacts may he treasu
red up by the Legislature of Georgia, and that a 1 its next
session some action may lx* taken, at least in regard to
the organization of an Agricultural Frotessoiship at
Athens, it not for the establishment of a model planta
tion at som** suitable and central location. It was
matter of deep regret to hundreds, that the enlighten
ed proposition of Mr. Fhockley of Columbia should
have failed at the lasi session. We hope that itsfrfends
may not abandon the idea, hut press it steadily upon
the great agricultural interests of the State. The mo
ment the planters understand the important results
which will follow such au establishment they w ill move
in a body, and having the power they will use it. It is
important for them to know what can be dune by prop
er efforts upon a given extent of land. The Blooiuing
dale Asylum, we learn from Mr Tahnadge, own- 40
aer*s ot land, 10 of it in woods, enclosures, &c, leav
ing 30 acres iu cultivation us farm und garden, and ili<
fol owing is the result, both in quantity aud value, viz
Statlmknt of the Products of the Bloomingdalt Ma
ylum Farm of 3 D acres under cultivation, with the
market value for 1847:
