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 *’• *** *'"• • m *““’ . 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. j 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 by Gen. Taylor. Let us place their words side by side in order that the people may read and compare the m G n Taylor in his late) Gen lYashmgtrn in a letter to Col. Mitchell oj | ‘etter to Benjamin Lincoln j Ditto, says: m 1799, remarks: ‘* I have no hesitation in “ Should it be inevitably stating, as I have stated on necessary for me to go into former occasions, that 1 am the chair of Government, I a Whig, though not an ul have determined to go free traoue and that I hare no if !lpositive engagements desn e to conceal this fact Wis every nature whatsuec from any portion of the or —This is th** answer I people o 1 the United Staten hove iffrea *y given to a 1 deem it but candid, how- multiplicity of applications; evei, to add, that it lh< lid 1 have assigned as the Whi.* paiiy des.rc at the \rue reason of my conduct, next Presidential election, the predominant desire 1 to com their votes tor me. .ind, oj being at liberty to they must doit on their own act with a sole reference responsibility, and withou; to justice and the public any pledges from me. good ” S amid 1 be elected to dial otiice, 1 should deem it to be my duty,and should most certainly claim tin* right, to look to the corsti in ion and th** high nur re am of our common country. aud not to the principles of a party, lor my rules ol ac | tion.” lias the blood of the Revolution run out that the princi. j pie?* and petition* ol die very tmli-r of that Revolution 1 are tube repn In ted! If this positiou was right in Wash’ mgton it is right in Taylor. Our able cotempoiary of the Richmond Times, ! speaking upon tins very subject says, and very properly too, that: “ General Taylor has made the only change in the portion ol Washington required by the change of cir cumstances.

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 togood fair, 3.1. .t 31J ; good to fine Uplund.and Mobile, ord. to mid. 41 J. a 5d.; fair to good fair, 3fd asi J.; good to fine, s|j.: Ala. and ‘J’enn. ord. to mid., U>l. a lid,: fair to good fair, 3id. ; Bowed Georgia ord. to mid.,4ld. a 3d. ; fair to good fair, sid. u old ; good to tine, 3id; Sea Llnml ord. to g.od tine, 71 to 8d ; do. 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 are Upland at 41 a 3id. , 12,750 Orleans at 4a6d: 2146 Alabama and Mobile at 4i a 6d, and 870 Sea Is land at 61 a 18. ‘The imports since the Ist Jan. nr 6 35j000 ha! **s, against 113,000 for the same pf . ] |;it season. ‘The supply from the United Slates is 56 fiOO, 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.

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.
