Invasion of England bv France—The late news
from England, in relation to a probable war between
that country and France, is the subject of general re
tuatk. The New York Commercial Advertiser, in
referring to the military movements in England, says:
“We do not think that any of these movements in
England have any special r sere ce to France, or ori
ginate in any fear ot rupture with her. It is more prob- j
able, we conceive, that Great Bri'nin has resolved to j
give a strong negative answer to Russia and Austria, i
wi ich powers have more than once almost demanded \
that England shill no longer be a reluge for political j
offenders; and is disposed to show those despotisms j
that she is quite prepared to stand by her refusal to com- j
ply with the demand.”
In confirniat on of this idea, the London Standard :
and the United Service Gazette state that it is the in- j
tentionoi Louis Napoleon to reduce the army, by abol
isbing the system ot proscription.
A Re volution aex Soldier.—A day or two since, i

that in April last, he reached his il3ih birth day! In !
appearance he is rather above the middle height, large ;
frame and does not appear older or more infirm than j
most men do who have attained their three score and :
ten. He relates many Revolutionary incidents, and
says that he was in four engagements under Gen’l. j
Marion, and fought also at Eutaw and the “ Cow
pens.” His wife is still surviving and iooks older than
himself. He visits this piace soliciting charity of the ‘
cit.zer.s—his pension being insufficient to support him.
[Cassoille Standard. j
„ VsT L etters by the iast packet represent that Mr.
Robert J. Walker is aeriously ill at Brighton, and that i
he has not succeeded in negotiating the Illinois Rail I
Road bonds.
Upas Tree on tge Isthmus.—The Panama Star
states that a man named James Linn, while hunting
on the Gordon road, grew tired, and lay down to sleep
under a tree. On waking he found his limbs and body
swelling, and death soon ensued. The Star says that a
tree grows on the Isthmus, under which cattle avoid
eating or ruminating.
Cotton Burnt —The steamer May was destroyed
by tire, a few days ago, on t e Chattahoochee river, :
below Columbus—boat and cargo a total loss. She
had on board 820 bales of Cotton, shipped for Apal
achicola, all of of which insured, except 205 bales be
longing to Dr. Battle, of Eufaula.
Sue Married to an American Ladv.—ln his last
letter from Paris, .VI. Giliardet states that Eugene Sue,
the distinguished novelist, had been permitted to re
side in Sardinia,through the intervention of his father
in-law, Mr. Ntles, charge of the United Slates at the
Sardinian Couit.
Mr. Macauiy has still further postponed the
publication of ihe third and fourth volumns of his
history, in order to make use of tresh matesial that has
reached him.
Rossini, the eminent musical composer, it is
said, will visit this counuy soon. ,
[COMMUNICATED i
Lou Hall, Macon Cos., Feb. 16th, 1852.
James T. Nisbet, Esq ,
Dear Sir:—l see by a happy salutatory in the lait
number of tke Journal Messenger, (the last I have
seen,) that you announce your connection with that
paper as one of its Editors, and you intimate that the
Agriculture ot the State will he among the subjects
that will be considered and discussed in its columns.
I have long thought that the Commercial and Polit
ical Pres, particularly that portion ol it having most of
its circulation in the Rural Districts,should give more
consideration to Agriculture—to this great and para
mount interest <-t our country, coming home as it does
to the business and bosoms of so large a class of our
citizens. The Agricultural Ptess now embraces, I be
lieve, some thirty-five journals, and 1 have heard it es
limated tlie.t the aggregate nnnib-r of subscribers
amounted to near hall a million. The immense ben
efit* it has conferred on oar Agriculture can hardly be
estimated. But Agriculture still requires more labor
ers; the field is a vast one. What we especially want
is to reach our publ c tnen and insure their more efiec
leal co-operation.
A.-riculfure may be said to be with us without any
representation. It liasscatceiy been heard ol ill con
nection with the administration of our government,
since the days oi Washington, if we except the brie!
notice of it in the two last annual messages-ernainiy
honorable excepiio-s. It is w ithout its Department
or Bir.*att,or even a pigeon-hole at Washington, in
which to preserve statistics or keep n record ; nnd cx
c-pting a few deciniai census returns, none indeed are
obtained. While this great interest is thus disfran
chised as it were all goes trippingly fcrwmd in the
name of “Commerce and Manufactures, and in ajt
propriatioim of ten iniilmas o year lor the Army and
N ivy. But ail Agricultuia! public opinion is evidently
at length being formed, as evidenced by a certain espnt
d'corps among Agriculturists, and tbe multiplication
of county and State Agricultural Societies organiza
lions that must resuit in producing greater concert o
action. And it is time something should be done. I
was struck with the cold reception this greet nations 1
interest seemed to meet with from some of the people s
Representatives at Washington, while there two years
ago, w hen with some other gentlemen casually present,
we appeared before the Committees *a Agriculture ol
j the House and Senate, to urge their report of a bill ere- !
ating an Agricultural Bureau. The tardy action of
those Committees—the uncertainty, indeed, ot their
ever meeting at all at the time appointed—their utter j
want of appreciation,as appeared tome, of the feelings !
and wishes of the Agricultural community, satisfied
me that the country press generally would have to
engage in the ceuse before these genffenten would be
likely to have their zeal stimulated—before tlu-y could
be made to fee! and realize the true state of pubi c
opinion. I believe that numerous as are the speech#-* I
and* # liv :ed in Congr. a.-, and great as are the variety of
topics discussed,r.o one has ever heard (he Agricultu
ial interest to therr, unless in an incidental re
, mark tna. might he and opped by way of parenthesis.— ‘
| 1 he appointment of Committees on Agriculture has ‘
j l‘ r °U ssed’y bteu mere matter of form tor years: but a
i caange in this re spect is now looked for.
! General A aahington, in his last Amina! M.'3sage to
: Congre s,strongly recommended tbe establishment of
.an Agricultural Bureau; and in a letter to his Agri
| cultural friend. Sir John St. Clair, he apologized lor
; its not having been dene on the ground that it was du
ring ihe short session, and there was not time’ Little
did this great and good man imagine that his favorite
| ’ nle r'at —that interest that he preferred himself to
j prosecuie at .Mount Vernon, to presiding in Cabinets or
commanding Armies—would at the end of half a cen-
I tcry lemain w ithout scarce a recognition by the gov
ernment, unless w hen iookrd up and recognized in or
! der to be taxed.
It is amazing w tit what facility things are done at
|VV aahington,in the name of “ Commerce,” as witness
; a while back the Petition o! the New Y ork Insurance
I Companies, and the prompt action of Congress upon
I it,representing that their risks would be greatly in
-1 creased, unless the Government kept out a laige force
!of Revenue Cutteis. 1 call attention merely to the
reason assigned. This Revenue service I think (insu
; ring the Insurance Companies,) costs the Government
about Haifa million annually. Yet they will grudge,
nay,deny nnd refuse to three million of Agriculturists,
that pay three fourths of all the revenue,one fifth of
this sum, that the arehieves of the country may exhibit
to future historians, that such an interest as Agricul
ture really had existence in the Republic, in (he nine
teenth century.
Then again, we find this magical word, “Com
merce,” of sufficient potency to engage the Government
in a sort ofco partnership wiih the merchants in building
Ocean Steamers, and running them to different parts
of the world. The silent partner, Uncle Snm.hnsal
ready put in, and is pledged to put in, within the next
ten years, as I by Mr. Peasley’s remarks, the round
sum of ten million of dollars, and the letter writers
inform us there is no want of patriotic gentlemen front
New York, now at Washington, to pursuade the peo
ples Representatives that the investment should be
i argeiy increased
But among the measures our untiring, ever watchful,
commercial friends have recently agitated, there is
none that will affect Agriculture so directly and injuri
ously, should it succeed, as the so called “Canadian
Reciprocity Bill,” which is a deadly blow struck at our
wheat fields and pine forests, for the sole benefit of
“freight, storageand commission.
Do not underetnnd me from these remarks, ns indul
ging in any narrow prejudice against commerce; on
the contrary, I am as proud of our great and growing
legitimate commerce, almost as of the flag that protects
it. But there are other interests in the country besides
commercial interests, and other citizens, besides com
mercial men. My remarks tend to this point, and there
is no candid man who hasobserved the course ol things,
who will not concur with me ; that the revenue of ihe
country being received through commercial men, they
being thus constantly brought in contact with govern
ment, and the great commercial press of our large cities,
naturally lending its powerful influence to support
what they consider the interest of Commerce, there is
danger not only that Commerce will get the lion’s
share, hut that in thelegislntion it seek’s it may Hurioua-
Iv embarrass agriculture. Therefore, I suggest, (hat
the Press throughout the whole agricultural region ol
our country, whose natrons are directly connected with
agriculture, may well devote a piace in their journals
to this interest of their immediate constituents—first,
in seeing that they get their fair rights; next, in seeing
that the revenue contributed in such large proportion
•roin the earnings of agriculture, should not be squan
dered, or be diverted by other interests from its legiti
mate object—the economical support of the government.
Then forthe teachings of practical agriculture, it is a
subject that may well occupy the best informed mind,
and the prosecution of the subjeet in ail its details
could not but prove agreeable to a correct and pure
taste, for the truths in involves are based on philosophy,
and invoke science for their application. My apology
for venturing to allude to what I think would be desira
ble in reference to the course of the press, must be
found in the force with which I felt your remark, to
the effect, that in our country the press creates public
opinion, and public opinion once formed, is omnipotent.
AGRICULTURE-
Death of 14. li. Hines.
Starkville, Lee Cos., Feb. sth, 1f!52.
A meeting of the members of the Bar of the South-
Western Circuit, was this day called for the purpose of
taking into consideration lha death of the late Col.
Richard K. Hines, a former practicing Attorney of
this Circuit.
The meeting was organized by calling His Honor,
Lott Warren, to the Chair, and the appointment of
Thomas C. Sullivan, as Secietary.
Alter the meeting had been thus organized, Col. E
R. Brown, of Sumter, prelacing his motion with a few
appropriate remarks, moved the appointment of a
Committee to draft a suitable report and resolutions
for the adoption of the meeting ; whereupon the Chai r
appointed Col. E. R. Brown, E. H. Platt and John
Lyon that Committee, with instructions to report as
soon as convenient. Whereupon, the meeting ad
journed.
Americus, Feb. 12ih. 1852.
The committee to whom was referred the diaihof
our late brother, the lamented Col. Richard K. Hines,
through their Chairman, E. R. Brown, E-q , made
the following report:
The Committee appointed by His Honor, Lott
Warren, to take action in respecr to the memory of
(our departed brother, Richard Kennon Hines, b-g
! eave in report, din, impres ed with ihe solemnity of
I the occasion, and the regard entertained for our de
-1 ceased friend, we take pleasure in announcing our
j appreciating ot bis virtues and many acts of useful
j ness.
We may venture to say, tint being an honest man,
jhe can well b * classed amongst the nnhh st woiks ol
; God. Wc are informed that die subject of this notice,
j was born on the Isth day of October,in the year 18t'5,
and soon after was brought ;o he corn y o Morgan,
Ga.,anJ subsequently to the county of Putnam.
In 1824, he was graduated in Franklin College, with
j the highest honor of his class. Having studied law in
j the office ot Judge Lamar, and opened an office for
I the practice of his profession in the city o! Miliedge
ville, on the IBth day ol January, 1825, he was married
io ajdaughier of Dr. James Nisbet, ol Athens.
He adorned the profession of his ch rice, as a regular
and courteous practitioner; indeed Ins course an such,
was m irked with vigilance, learning and w isdom.—
j Consequently, business sought him, auff waited not to
be sought by him.
His political life was short, but biilliant, having a
few years only represented the county of Baldwin, in
the General Ass-mhly of Georgia; but in tha* brief
space, he left u good and lusting impression upon lire
Legislature ot the Btate.
To sum up our view of his life o! industry, which
we consider worthy of aJmira:K>n,we repeat what lias
