Then we cao pardon theseemii g neglect ot our irans’ a'Unic cousins in permitting to repose in VVest m usier Abbey the bjnes of so great a natural pn> Jo*>pher as Newton and commend them even ai this late day lor denying a memorial to his fame, when they were formerly erected by setvile cour tiers or factious fanatxs.

Extraordinary Affair —§4.800,000 Turk ish Currency Counterfeited in Aett York by a Woman.. An extraordinary case of counterfeiting the bills of” itieTurkish Bank is detailed in the New York papers. It appears th t a Mrs. Sevasti arrired at Syria a short tirm since, on her way from Liverpool to Con statninople. The custom house officials as usual oroceeded to examine her baggage.— The first trunk which was opened wasfound to hare u false bottom. A further search was then made, and other trunks were found to be made in the same manner, and to have packed very carefully *in them forged*notes of twenty piastres, to the lota! amount of 1,230,000 piastres,-made up in packets of 1,000 each. The lady hei.-t-ti was afterwards searched, and there w6re lotted carelullv sewed in her under gar •ineuls, 30,000'piastres more of the same notes. ‘The lady was immediately taken into custody, where she confessed that she h and 600,000 ‘-Caimes’ printed in N. York, and had passed off a great number of them in Constantinople. ‘The intelligence was transmitted to New York by telegraph by way of London, and on Thursday the po lice arrested Mr. Harrison, a job printer,and fund about 8400,000 ot the “Caimes ’in his office. The Courier says: From his explanations it became evident that he was entirely unaware of the true character of the jib he had done for the Turkish lady. lie said he recollected her calling upon lira about the first of July, un der the nameol Madame Zoifmen, and en gaging lint to print a large quantity of what appeared to be labels, at one dollar per thousand, exclusive of the cost ofdyes ant! engraving. Site called se.erai times to see the proofs, and at last became satisfied with he piper and impression, and ordered 600,000 to be printed. She evaded hts inquiries as to the nauire of whatlte was printing, but finally said they were labels.— She paid him 81/106 in cash and a note for 8300 in payment for the job. On the 23d of July she had the labels transferred to the Astor House, and that was the iast ho saw ol her. He had not the slightest suspicion that what she called “labels” were pieces of Turkish money. He supposed them to beiaoeisto be used on some nostrum or article of commerce of Eastern origin, ftom there being Chinese characters upot them. His wrktuen were detained as witnesses. The “Caimes” found on the premises of the printer were refuse sheets which Mrs. Sevasti rejected. The 600,000 “Caimes” which she carried to Constantinople were worth 20 piastres each, ami the piastres being valued at 40 cents, the emire quan :ity of paper money was worth 84,800, 000. Mrs. Sevasti is a native of Moldavia and is supposed to be connected with an extensive gang o! counterfeiters in Turkey. Mr. Harri-ou has published a card nar raling ttie circumstances ot hi* connection with the affair, which seems to leave but little doubt ot his innocence of arty criminal known dge or intent concerning it.—Sau. Republican. The Pie Melon. The Southern Cultivator (Augusta. Ga.) gives the following directions for the pre servation and preparation of the Pie Melon or Pie Apple Melon : Lei the melons remain on the vines until they begin to mm yellowish—then gather them carefully, bruising, and put them away ina cool place for winter use.— When you wish to cook them, peel off the skin and cut up the melon small, taking out the seeds, soft pulp, if any, &c. Put them in a preserving kettie, with just enough wa ter to keep tin m from burning, and stew over a tolerably brisk fire for three < r four hours, or until the whole is reduced to a olt, pulpy mass, free from lumps, ami thoroughly “done.” You have, then, a substance resembling green apple* stewed, and by adding a little sugar anil lemon juice o it, and making it up with the crust in the usual way. it is impossible to tell it from a fresh apple pie. The lemon juice is necessary to give it flavor, as it is rather insipid without it. If you desire a pumpkin or custard p ; e of the melons, stew as above directed, but omit the lemon, and bring the pulpy mass to the proper ricltn> ss and consistency by the ad dition ofsugar, milk and eggs Li lie of either of these ingredients will be found necessary—only sufficient to give the melon color and flavor. IT skillfully prepared, these melons will be found an important auxiliary to the housewile, during several months in the fill and winter. We have kept them sound and hatd until March. Thp.ii.uno Instance of Faith.—A cler gyman in this city read a ietler at one ot the Sansoin stree ! noonday prayer meetings • his week Irom a young man ot his acquain tance wl o was on hoard the ill-fated Aus tria, in which he detailed the last interview b°tween himself and five Christian comrades who perished b tiealh the waves. As soon as the deslruct on of the vessel was found inevitable, lltese six young men took a po sition between Ihe flanns and the water, with the understanding that at ihe last mo ment they would unitedly consign them selves to the latter. In the bare moment thus allowed to contemplate their fate, their hope in Christ was confidently expressed, and when to escape thespreauing-fire their leap became necessary, they fondly, grasp ed each other’s hand, and with a parting “farewell” and an expressed confidence that in “a few moments they would meet in heaven.” tin y sprang into the sea. The writer of the letter states that after sustain ing himself in the water by means of a life preserver for four hours, (during which time bis contemplations ot a future state ri pened into a joy in believing in his Savior such ns he ltd never before experienced,) a vessel hova in sight for his release; so that just at the moment when bis exhausted energies brought the open door of heaven more temptingly to view he was made the subject of an earthly rescue. The reading ol the letter refered to elicited an outburst of lee'.ing ail over the room.— Phila Press. nebulosity attendant on come tary bodies is supposed to be formed by the vapors which the solar heat receives on their surface, and that the great heat w hich thi y experience on their approai It to ti e sun rarefies the particles which have congealed by the excessive cold created when at a distance from the sun; and the trains of comets are only these vapors ele vated to a Couside’able hi ight bytbisrare fictinn, combined eithtr with the solar rays or with the dissolution ot these vapors in the fluid which reflects the zodiacal light. Th! ,a^s of comets, the aurora b nealts, and •he electric, are supposed to be matter of the san e kind. According to this hypothe sis, it W'Uild follow that the cometary trains are hollow, which appears p attsible, from ihe scarcely perceptible diminution of the lustre of the stars’seen through them.— A teamed writer on the subject suggests that the electric matter, which continually escapes from l he planets is brought back bv the assistance of the comets and their trains.— N.

Affairs in Mexico- The news fiom Mexico which was published in our teiegrathiu column of Thursday, very clearly indicate* tiiat ano'her ori-is in the p liticsl torture, of ihat republic is near st hand. The re ports, contradictory though they be as to the result, establish the fact that a serious conflict has oc curred between the Zuloag.i and the Constitution al forces. Intelligence is also brought that a num ber of American citizens, tailing or refusing to pay the contribution levied upon resideot foreign ers by the Mexican Government, had been impris oned at Tampico by the order ot Gcv Garzia— The postute of affairs thu3 reached is one which our Government can no longer regard with indif ference. Action in the premises is imperatively demanded. It must be decided, at once, whether our citizens have any rights in that country under treaty btwe.ui the two governments. If they have,and the L’e acu< nos the Mexican au’hori ties is in violation thereof, the duty of the Ad ministration is unequivocal. For ourselves, we Nfcve never had any doubt upon the subject. We have approved the conduct of Mr. Forsyte from ihecommencement to the conclusion, and every subsrquent development has added strength to that conviction. That this contribution was im posed for the purpose o! raising means to eus'ain the tottering fortunes ol Zuloaga can no longer be a subject of dqubt. So long as it remained an empty decree, the protest ot our Minister was per haps, sufficient; but its practical enforcement in vests the question with a substantial interest and calls for prompt and positive action. Other indi cations, but and mly and partially revealed, promise a still greater degree of complication to our Mex [ ican relations. It is believed that the movement against Mexico threatened bv the Spanish Gov ernment, will have for its object the disptaeem nt of both the contending powers and the re instate inent of San'a Anna to the diebfb r-hip of that countiy. Os such an effort the United .* tales would not be an indifferent or silent spectator While we refrain trom meddiing with the domes tic affairs of that detracted country, we will be vigilant to prevent any European power from as serting the prerogative of interference. Under no pretext will they be allowed to obtain another footing on the North American Continent. Sominations— South Western Circuit We learn froojthe South-Western News, that the Democratic Judieiai Convention, which assent bled at Albany on the I2ih tnst., nominated for Judge of the South-Westorn Circuit Hoo. Richard H Clark,of Dougherty, and tor Solicitor. Wm. B. Guerry of Sumter. We congiatulate the peo ple of that Circuit on the prospect of having the responsible otfices of Judge and Solicitor filled by two such able and competent gentlemen. Mr, Clarke is still comparatively ttyoung man and hts juridical attainments are ot the highest order. For the last fifteen years he has devoted Itimsell assidu ously to ‘he practice of law, and his distinguished success as an advocate and lawyer sufficiently at tests his competency and approves the action of the convention. With Mr. Guerry we are better acquaint das the editor of the South Western News ; but we learn that he is as good a lawyer as editor, and.ifso, theduties of a Solicitor will be discharged with h ,nor to himself and satisfaction to the country. They will have an easy aud success ful race. So hope we. Pataula Circuit.

If Mr. Buchanan’s Government will now follow up ihe noble stand taken by our Minister, and miike the Mexicans feel the full force of their re spoiifcibiliiy he will stamp his Administration wdih a prestige for strength and wisdom which will bring to his standard the Uoited support of the American people.

They are all peaceable and express a wish to continue so. Three of the young Indians could read and write and calculate in dollars and cents. They are determined to remain in Florida ; they have plenty of money and say that all the money in the United Stales will not bribe them to leave here. They wish to settle ihemselves down and live in peace, to be governed by the laws and protected by the laws.” We are informed tiiat many are engaged in clearing land bout six miles from the residence of Mr. Fiedler.

H. Young ol Bealiwood—Master Henry Day of Pierce Chspsl, and Rev. W. G Conner in behalf ol the Factory. The speeches were all well received. The procession then, accompanied by* a band of music, marched to Camp Montgomery- It wa- the moving of an army with banners; numborii g 850 in the proce-sion ; and the bright faces reflected, as with a mirror, the joyous emotions of the young hearts. Arrived at Camp Montgomery, a prayer was offered by Rev. J H DeVotie, when Hon G E Thomas, as the orator of the day, made a cha3te, beautiful and eloquent address. The tables were loaded with everything gratify ing to the palate and reflected credit upon the Lady managers who superintended it. After dinner impromtu speeches were delivered by Messrs W. G. Conner, J. Berrien,Oliver, and Georgo Thomas, which elicited applause. The former of these gentlemen L.'iiiig “Webster’s spel ling book” for his text—the key to the Bible—a subject which intero usd the children and which lie tteated well. Tho whole affi passed off pleasantly and the children with their rosettes of all colots bore thorn as badges of honor —proud of the distinction con ferred. An incident occurred worthy of notice. As the procession passed, two by two, the Minis; r of one of the ( hurcties observed a sweet laced little girl, dressed in a neat, but plain attire—the earnings perhaps of a poor Mother—tripping along bore Jno'ed as merrily as though unconscious of the contrast she presented with others. The tender heart of the minister was touched—it swelled his bosom to think the girl at the risk of mortification would thus take part in the celebration and grasp ing his pursestrings, he paid a tribute io charity worthy the heart of a Christian. To return, this delightful day will long be ro membered by tha children, and when gray hairs rha 11 overtake them, they will looa back through the vista of the past to it as one of the moat pleas ant incidents of their life. May it over be a green spot upon which mem -ry can look, insp ring them to noble impulses and generous deeds, and fitting them for a glorious immortality beyond the skies. Hon- Wm. L. Yancey, and Roger A Pryor. The controversy which has sprung up between these gentlemen (.-ays the Huntsville, Ala.) Dem ocrat,) is a source of great regret to their mutual friends- We do not think that Col. Yancey is justly to be blamed for it. We concede that some suggestions of his Slaughter letter were not of our notion, but they were not of a character toj.atity tha acritnoniou-i assault of Mr. Pryor. Nor is there anything in the Constitution of the “League of United Southerners,” (however. Southern men may differ about the policy ol such an organiza tion,) to pmvoke the denunciation of any true Southerner, much less Mr. Pryor, who had gone as fat as Col. Yaneoyever did, in his denuncia tions of Northern aggressions, and expressed de terra nations to l'erist luriher aggre s.oa “at all hazards and to the last extremity.” The reply ol Mr Pryor to Colonel Yan cey’s letter to hurt is marked by his usual brilliant and diffusive style, but it is far from being a fair and just criticism upon Colonel Yancey’s letter, his genera! political course, or the League. We see in it more of the ekillful evasion and special pf tiding of the artful dialec tician than the plain-sailing logic of the straight forward exponent and defender o’ truth- Personal triumph, rather than the success of truth for truth’s sake, seems to be tMr. Pry or's object, and in his zeal to accomplish this object, temporarily,he lias failed to acquaint him self thoroughly with Col. Yancey’s political his toty, particularly his relations to the Democratic party. Hero, if our memory does not deceive us, Col. Yancey has it in hi power to disprove some ol Mr. Pryor's allegations ot fact ana to place him completely Aors du combat. He will be able to show that he is no disappointed office-seeker; no supporter of Adm nistrations tor the sake ol spoils; never assaulting without cause; yet never chary of censure when desetved ; never wanting in feal ty to the true principle of States Rights republican ism,or losing an opportunity to defend them,when necessary; always t i eir true, gallant, eloquent champion in good and evil report. We would specify particulars in which Mr. Pryor has spoken, without the record of Col- Yancey ; but we have not time or inclination to do so, at present, espec ially as we think it likely that C,J. Yancey, as j toon as his health will permit, will furnish the facts I in his own v ndication. Franklin College- Asa matter of says ihe Augusta j Chronicle and Sentinel, we publish the commu mcati'-n ot the Rev. W J Parks, proposing to ‘ell Franklin College to the Episcopalian Church, for we dissent entirely from his views. Although we feel constrained to believe that the College is a doomed institution, under its present manage men t, yet we regard it the d*ity of the legi lature, to m ike it what its founder, and iho sages and patri ots who framed the Constitution designed it should be—a “University.** I is simply ridiculous to call it by that name no w Every State owos it to the people, to found within its limits tho bes t institutions lor the education of its eons, and Georgia has as yet fallen far, very far short of the performance of her duty in this respect. So far that the State institution does not rank above, if it equals these endowed by private munificence. We are perfectly aware that these opinions will not meet with favor, or be appreciaied by rigid sectarians, or ihe small heer politicians and dema gogues of the day, who are always clamorous about taking the people’s money to provide for the education of the sons of rich men ; bJt we care not, as we do not addre-s ourselves to such narrow minds on a question of such magnitude. We look alone to the intelligent and liberal-minded to carry out such a purpose, and when the questi u is be fore the people we shall mak'i our appeal accord ingly, and we hhall not hesitate to tell them that the College and Faculty need removing, purging from basement to dome, before it can succeed. For as at present organised, we regaid failure inevit able-certain—only a question of time. These may be, aud no doubt are, unpalatable truths to enrne men, but they are nevertheless truths, which, in our opinion,it behovostho people to meet bold ly and fearlessly, like patriots and statesmen, aud apply the remedy. Annual Session Ball. We are indebted to some friend in Milledgevilfe for an invitation to the “ Annual Session Ball” to be given at Newell’s Hall on Friday tbesih of November. Also to a Cotillion Party to be g Yen at ihe same place on Tuesday the 9th of November. In tha list ol managers we observe the names of Mr Jon. H- Davis, Warm Springs, and Messrs. A- H Cooper, W. R.

Although an attentive looker on, and a long and active resident of this country .and moreover one who takes a deep infer*-* its future, I confess that never di.i r-uch doubt hang ovet my mind, of . bat is to coine out of all these trot 1 *- ,-s of this coun try at the present time. 1 sometimes am almost induced to believe that there is no salvation for this naturally rich and beauti ful, but politically cursed land; and that political annihilation must soon take place. Os one thing lam sure; that with Mexi cans alone, the country must lose its na tionality within a very brief period. In proof of this, we need simply cast our eyes over the record since the time this country became independent. The revolutions and violent changes which bate taken place v'ill clearly show, that the natives of this country and ail mixed, inferior races, are completely unfit to enjoy, as they are inca pable of conceiving, a purely Democratic, responsible government. Mexico has had fifty-two changes in her government since the year of her independence—in 1821 about one government to every half year ; and the greater portion of all these changes lias been brought about by e.vt! war—or, n the parlance of the country, hv pronun. ciamentos. With every change ot govern, metit, the credibof the country has declined, until now the interinr-debt-bonds ar*’ only worth, in the market, about 7£ to 8 per cent. The price of the diff retit foreign convention debts differs according to times and circumstances, but they 1 hold a higher figure than the interior debt, from the fact that the conventions are supported by other governments; at least the nations for whose citizens lhe.-o e nvention-- so x * been made, occasionally buliy a little through their legations here, am! thereby the stockholders make out to get a portion of their interest, overdue. W itiie I am speaking of the debt I will give you, liom the best authority, a list of what Mexico is known to owe The table is taken from the Mexican Extraordinary. and is acknow ledged to be correct; British Bond-ho ders’ debt, $60,621,843 00 Spanish Convention, 7,270,600 70 English Spanish Convention, 6,000.000 00 French Conveutfon, 2C3 490 00 American Ctaitns, • 3,000,000 00 Total of Foreign Debt, 876,150,133 76 Mexican Interior Debt, 63,451,455 08 Total (as figures are made up,) . , . 8129,607,688 83 Besides the amount footi-d up above, Sr. Lerd'i mentions another debt, übicfi fie de ti'<minatpa “ flouting.” The amount of this floating debt is not known, but fie says it did amount to many thousands. It is not at all improbable, if the statistics could be obtained, that ties fl<> > mg debt runs up to several, if not many mili.o is. Thus y<>u v. in se.- me amount of debts tiiis country has accumulated in ti e brief space of twenty-seven years—thi- Country, which in the iaiter days of ris provincial existence, sent its millions to Sp tin, and at onetime, paid almost tbe put.re colonial expenses of the island of Cuba. N wCu I ha has an expo t about so o tim a greater than that of Mexico. Cuba ha- remained a eolouy and has prospered,as would Mexi co, had she no; become maddened by ihe intoxicating i lea of self-government. An American “ Protectorate ” Urged. But my i h-a is no to get too deeply into this subject, for volumes can be written that cou'd be tilled with interest. My object i to show some powerful illustrations of the : decay of ihis country, its incompetenev for self-government, and to urge that the Uni ted States, for self-preservation; may do her duty before long to this country and save it from the vagabondage to which it has arrived, Not only i.- it the policy of the United States to do this for present and future political purposes, but it is her duty to do something with Mexico in justice to her citizens who have come here under treaty stipulations, and who have been plun dered and outraged in the most shameful manner. The resolution of Sam Houston, offond in the United Slates Senate and adopted by tiie British bomi-bolders, at a late meeting in London, as gospei, has a dial es good sense in it,and sooner or later, it must be acted upon favorably. How a Protectorate might be Established. The number of Americans in this country, is about 500 at this time. Ol all other foreigners, we have about 9,000 more. The Spaniards are in excess of all others put together, and their retrogade ideas have done much to put Mexico in the condition she is in to-day. Had we a large Ameri can and English population here, tlie effect would be marvelous on the country : but neither Englishmen or Americans will come here to risk their capital, so long as their Governments allow them to be plundered with impunity, a* they have been, for the last few ye,are. England has clearly said, bv her actions here and elsewhere, that she wishes the United States to lay hold of and dictate a steady government to Mexico; and it only remains for the United States to dic tate strong terms to Mexico, to procure submissive quiet at once. What the United S'att-s ought to do is, to dictate a form of government to Mexico and enforce quiet on the country. Tiiis can be done by the agency of a clever man here, as Minister of the United States ; for alt classes of re spectable people in Mexico, notwithstanding they sincerely bate everything which is : Anglo Saxon, would give their support aod aid to such an agent of the United States, for their own preservation. The prelimi naries once arranged, details could easily be Carried into effect, as five thousand men, judiciously distributed throughout this country, would keep down any revolution ary feeling which might get abroad. It would be a virtual pro'ectorate, and might t cost tbe American Government sorn’ ad- j vances of money ; but, a country that is na- | turally so rich as this, has no need of being I a beggar, after she has once established peace. Peace would soon rejuvenate the drooping and dying interests of this country, and would bring in a very considerable amount of foreign enterprise and capital; and, with the increase of all branches of industry, the revenues of the country would soon exceed the wants of a liberal govern ment, and at the same time admit of a great reduction on the unjust duties from the present tariff. Every one who at all knows this countiy—its rich mines now worked, besides those knovttn to exist, but which have not been worked, on oeeount of the insecurity of the country—its facilities lor manufactures, its rich arable and grazing lands, and its great demand for railroads, which open fields for the most unlimited speculation— must confess that a stable government in Mexico would create a spir it for business tiiat would surpass the most brilliant periods in the history of California or Australia, TELEGRAMS OF TBE WEEK REPORTED FOR THE DAILY TIMES.

It is very diffi cult to determine, after long experience, what Sort of tillage is best for the cotton plant. Our sea-on* are so changeable and Uncertain, and oors. il so variant, that it is almost impossible to give a uniform plan of planting or ullage. We think, however, that much depends upon a proper prep .ra ion of the soil, and that the best mode ot tillage, depends very much upon the seasons and character of the soil. We think light soils should be but tightly plowed—often enough to keep the grass down and the plant in good heart.
