SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL CON
GRESS.
\Vr> are in receipt ot an extra of the “Soil
of the South." (an Agricultural Journal pub
lished at Columbus, Ga ,) containing a long
8nd able article on the subject of a Southern
Congress of Agriculture; it can hard'y be
entitled a call fur such a Congress, though
it is signed by the Chairman of the Execu
tive Committee and Secretary of the South
ern Central Agricultural Society. No time
or place for holding tire Congress is desig
nated; it is rather a summing up of the ben-
efits'oarise from such a meeting, a sitting
forth the necessity of it, and the objects to
be effected. The objects sought to be ob
tained are briefly as follow* :
“ r*' improve our own agriculture, yielding
peculiar productions, through the agency of
a normal labor, reqttir • a distinct economy,
and dependent on a climate of its on n.
To develope the recources, at d unite and
Combine the energies of 'lie slave-holding
States, So as to increase their wealth, power
arid dignity, as membeis of this confed-
etacy.
To establish find fortify a public opinion
within our own borders iti antagonism to
that without, in relation to ourselves and out
in-tituiious—the emanation of our own in
telligence, power and energies—a national
sentiment—a great truth, established by the
experience of the past, founded on sound
morality, and broad humanity, and that
Christianity which especially inculcates a
sincere humility and a boundless chaiity.
To enforce the growing sentiment that
those who are to come after us and inherit
our institutions, and the dangers which
thteaten them, shall be reared at home, and
educated in a full knowledge of their rights,
du’ies and responsibilities—and to establish
fully in the public mind the iwo-folo value
ol a higher standard of edt*palio i, which
will impose such application on the part of
the pupils, and demand such qualifications
on the pait of the teachers, as will establish
industrious habits in the former, and enab'e
the latter to instil and conform in them a
taste in altet life what has been learned in
youth—thus supplying the two most effi
cient agencies to prompt to a career of use
fulness and honot—industry, and cultivated
and refined tastes—and making our seats
of learning effulgent centres of piety; science
Jiteiature and tefinemenl—illuminating and
harmonizing all interests, and b'ending all
cias-es—the pride and glory of the country.
To enlist and fosu r those scientific pur
suits which reveal to us the elements and
character of our soils—instruct us in the
p'esence of those magazines of fertilizers
which Nature has with so bountiful ami
considerate a band provided for the use of
the industrious and enterprising—and search
out the hi-tovies and halms of the insect
tribes which destroy (it is believed) annually
a filth of our crops, and supply us with a
knowledge <;f them which may enable us to
guatd against their fulute lavages.
To promote the mechanic arts directly
and indirectly auxilary to agriculture—and
by a genurous confidence and liberal pation-
oge, raise those engaged in them to a social
position, always the jus't reward of intelli
gence, industry and good conduct.
To direct, as far as may be done, public
sentiment aga nst the barriers which have
been artfully raised to cut off’ our commer
cial intetcourse with distant countries, save
through such outlets as ate supplied by
Northern marts, exacting tribute upon what
we produce and consume.
To exert in influence in establishing a
system of common school education which
will make Christains as well as scholars of
our chiidteti—which, in arming the rising
generation with the instruments of knowl
edge, w ill instruct them also in their proper
uses—impressing upon them, from first to
last, that (especially under out form of
government) private worth constitutes the
aggregate of public good—and that no-one
cati disregard his duties to those atound hirn
without positive injury to himself.
To cultivate the aptitude of the Negro
tace for civilization and consequently Chris
tianity—so that hy the time that slavery
shall have fulfilled its beneficent mission in
these States, a system may be authorized
by the social condition of that race here, to
relieve it horn its present servitude without
sinking it to the condition, moral mental
and physical, into which the negroes of the
Northern States and West Indies have
been hopelessly precipitated, by imposing
upon them the duties anti penalties of civili
zation before they have cast of the features
of their Aftican barbatism.
These constitute the main purpose for
which we appeal to the individual and ag
gregate interests of the slave holding States
to meet us in an Agricultural Congress, in
that let us assemble, and confer and consult,
as in a great family reunion—having a com
mon object, and actuated by a common pa
triotism.”
These objects are certainly desirable, and
so far as our own humble influence can aid
in br ingitig them about, we cheer fully extend
it. Our limited space denies us the pleas
ure of publishing the article iri full—we
should be pleased to see it in every southern
paper that can possible make room for it.
It is a masterly and convincing appeal to
all who desire the advancement and inde-
deudence of the South.
From the Knoxville (Tenn.) Whig.
BROWNLOW’S LIFE OF SCOTT.
NO S.
Pike’s Life of Scott, “the picture book,”
is gying out into the country by ship loads,
an atrociously false biography in ail the ma
terial respecl9, intended to coceive and
humhug the people. This production was
gotten up by the Central and Executive
Committee at Washington whose members
are each and ail oflice-seekers, having the
promise of a reward in the event of Scott’s
election. J. S. Pike, the writer of this “pic
ture book,” is the notorious Abolitionist
who was beaten for Congress in Mattie, by
Fuller, Democrat, in the last contest in that
j State. Pike is the Washington correspon-
! dent of firefly's Tribune, the organ of
j Northern Abolition Whiggery. Pike the
| Biographer of Scott, is an Abolitionist of as
i deep and hateful a dye, as the notorious
; Ga'nson or Hole, and was no doubt select-
! ed as the wt ileT of Scott’s Life, to reconcile
1 Northern Abolitionists to the Southern Plat-
i form ! Three latge Job offices ate engaged
lin New Votk in wotking oil these Lives,
from sttrcotype plates, and Grecly sopei in
tends the factory. There is one other at
i Cincinnati, in an Abolition office, tens of
thousands of these "picture books” ate be
ing giound nut for the u-eof the Free Soils
ets of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and M ichigan.
The head-quartets of the concern at Wash
ington, i s the National Era office, the great
Central Abolition Press of the Union,
where we are informed by letter, a Power
Press is engaged night and day, in turning
them off' from one set of these stereotype
which is, that in all the applications for bark
pay as pensions, tbe circum-tance of the
applicant having remained in the army, or
doing duty, or receiving his pay, is proof of
itself that the disability was not of that cha'-
acter which entitled him to a pension.
Resolved, unanimously. That the peti
tioner has not substantiated his claim to a
pension.
Thus it will he seen that Gen - Scott was
not satisfied with an enormous salery for
life, or during good behavior, but wanted to
bleed the Treasury of the people, in the
shape of a huge pension ! About what, we
might expect of a man, who would use the
funds of his poor soldiers, when hut but a
Captain in the army !
In our next Volume of the Life of Scott,
we will make further disclosures, engro-g-
ing interest, which the “picture books’'of
Pike, Greely Sc Co., have omitted !
OUR CANDIDATE.
James Buchanan, in a letter to a demo
cratic committee in Pennsylvania, pays our

compliment :

THE PLAGUE IN HAYTI.
The epidemic prevalent in Hayti is said
to lie of a novel, mysteiious and terrible or
der—it was first supposed to be the yellow
fever, bur differs essentially from that dis
ease. It’s seat is the stomach, which almost
instantly looses its vitality, and in Co rises
quence its impressibility to the influences of
medicine. Mortification of this organ en
sues, and death rapidly follows, before the
sys em can be put under the influence of any
remidical agent.
The native physicians lost every case, un
til, says flie Boston Traveller,at the instance
of Mr. Wilson,the American Consul at Hay-
tien, one of their number tried a preset ip-
tion, from a medical woik he had in his
possession, since which a lat^e proportion
are saved.
A hospital has been established for
foreigners at Cape Haytien, which will
be a permanent benefit to those visiting the
port.
Everything from the Soil.—All the aitists,
manufactureis and commercialists of the
world are employed on the produce of the
soil, and on that only. The watchmaker
and the anchorsmith, the clothier and the
lapidary, are all, and each of them, equally
engaged in the one object, namely, that of
rendering the productions of the soil subser
vient to the use and convenience of man.—
Tbe stock of every warehouse and shop, the
furniture af every mansion and cottage, all
implements and utensils, may easily be trac
ed to the same origin. Even the books of
the scholar, and the ink and quill, through
whose means he communicates his thoughts
to others, are derived from the same souice
as the material on which the naval and civ
il architect exercises his ingenuity and skill.
The loftiest spire and the smallest needle
are both the effects of labor and skill exer
cised on the soil.— Survey of Middlesex.

resolution ot the ri-'use to inqune into the , \ p “
expediency of placing Gen. Windfield Scott
upon the list of invalid prisoners, re
port:—
| That the fact of the infliction of the
wound at the time and under the citctim-
; stances stated, is sufficiently proven. The
committee have diligently sought in the
laws relating to pensisons, and in the prac
tice of the Government in the dispensation
of its benefits, for the right or the prece
dent that would authorize them in granting
' the prayer of the petitioner. 1 he commit
tee are of opinion that the object of the
Legislature in tbe passage of those laws was
by pecuniary aid, to afford releaf and com
fort only to those officers and soldier, of
the army and navy, who while in the ser
vice of their count ry, was so unfortunate as
to receive wounds or suffer di-abilities of
that character which, upon their discharge
or voluntary return to private life, rendered
them unabie to obtain a subsistence by lheir
usual avocations.
The difficulty in this case is whether on
j officer shall receive pay and pensions for
i the same time. It has been attempted to
give a construction to those laws favorable
to the applicant, in consequence of the
phraseology of some of them; as in the act
i of the 23 I April, 1850, it is said, ‘iEvery
officer seaman and marine disabled in the
line of bis duty, shall be entitled to leceive
: a pension,” &c., &c ; by which it is inten-
; ded that all persous who at the time of
application, and who by the holding of
; their commissions and by the performances
I of military duty, aie in the contemplation
! of the law entitled to pensions, undei the
I circumstance of disability. The first objec
tion of aplying that partoftbe act of April
I 1800, to the case, is that the law was in
tended for the better government of the
navy ami the United States and does not
i extend to the others and soldiers of the
j army of die United States A second ob-
| jeciinn is, that if this law did not include the
Arctic of the Collins line, but the Americans
have achieved the positive victory in speed;
their steamers—the Pacific. Baltic atu\ Arc
tic— having made tbe fleetest voyages. On
the part of the Americans the contest has
been carried on at a vast cost, and addition-
able grants from Congress ostensibly for the
mail service, hut in reality from national
spirit of rivalry, have only recently been ob
tained to prevent ihe object ftom perishing
by reason of an enormous inequality be
tween receipts and expendituies. Oil the
pait of the British, while heavy amounts
have been paid by the Exchequer, and a
latge profit has been made by the contrac
tors, the Messrs Cunard, the defeat has been
accepted, only to renew the attempt in the
hope and expectation of future and eventu
al success.
EXTRAORDINARY.DISCOVERY.—PERPET
UAL LIGHT.
A must curious and interesting discovery linsjust
been made »t Langre-*. France, which, we have no
doubt, will eansea eearc ing scientific inquiry as to
the material and jiroperttes of the per|>eiiially burn
ing lamps, said to have been iu use by the ancients.—
Workmen were recently excavating lor a foundation
for a new building in a debris, evidently the remains
ot Gallo-Roman erection, when they came to the roof
of an tinder ground sort of cave, which lime had
rendered almost metalic hardness An opening was,
however, effected, when one of the workmen in
stantly exclaimed that there was light at the bottom of
the cavern. The parties present entered, when they
found a bronzed sepulchral lamp of remarkable
workmanship, suspended from the roof by chains of
the same metal It tvas entirely filled with a com
bustible substance, which did not appear lu have di-
minished. although the probability is the combus
tion has been going on for ages. This discovery
will, we t-ust, throw some light on a question which
has caused sn many disputes among learned ante
quaries, although it is stated that one was discoveied
at Viterbo in 1850. from which, however, no fresh
information was afforded on the subject.
CALIFORNIA EXPEDITION IN JAPAN.
For the following extract from a San Francisco
paper we are indebted to a gentleman of this city, to
whom it was sent iu a letter :

Destructive Freshet—The City Flooded.
WHx.it, on Saturday evenine, we penned
the paragraph, which appealed in our pa
per of Sunday, in reference to the fiesliet
iu the Savannah river, we little deemed of
the extent of the calamity of which we were
so soon to be the victims. T he river con
tinued to rise rapidly during the night, and
did not reach its maximum height; (thirty
six feet five inches above low water,) until
Sunday morning. Whether the quantity of
water was greater than in the May freshet
of 1S49, it is impossible to say definitely,
from any of the land marks about the city,
as it was four to six inches above some of
them and about the same distance below
others, all equally well defined.—This state
of thitiss was of course produced by the
obstructions in the growth of the city witb-
j in the last twelve years and the conse
quent change of the currents. We think,
j however, there was It tie difference between
| the two. though that vx as the more disas
trous to the city and citizens.
Dm tug the night (Saturday r ight) the
I city was completely flooded. Scarcely a
j dry lot in any pait—the water running into
! many of the stores from one inch to two
feet detji, while in a goodly number :t did
j not enter al all — most of the cellars, of
I course, filled. Those of our readers famil-
j iar with the city, will have a correct idea of
the sta e <>f things, when informed that per-
! sons in canoes passed through broad street
! from end to end unobstructed. In some
i of the low er localities the depth was prnha-
1 I ly not less than six leet. The consequence
I vvas that a few homes were moved from
i their moorings and some others undermin
ed and partially injured. The destruction
I of merchandise was comparatively small,
j owing to the very light stocks of heavy
! goods at this season of the year, arid the
! timely efforts ot the owners lo place them
J beyond the reach of danger. The greatest
loss to the city, hy far. is the damage done
j to the streets bv washing out holes at vari-
I ous points and the ln-s of a portion of the
j Lower Bridge, some 200 to 250 feet of
: which, near ihe centre was carried away
I by the lodging against it of tfrsee finals,
which had broken from their mootings
, above, it had withstood everything up to
Sunday morning, abut S 1-4 o’clock, when
it gave way under the pressure of the boats.
The upper bridge had yielded to the force
of the current early Saturday night, and
| passed away — that was, however, no loss,
; and we think is n"t regretted by the com
munity.
, What the extent of ilip injury to the Ca
nal is, we have not been able to ascertain,
and cannot until the water recedes raoie.
It is hoped, however, it is very slight.
It is impossible tmw to estimate fie dam
age done to the streets and city with any
degree of accuracy, ot the amount of goods
lost. We ate however, well satisfied, that
it does not exceed <»ne half the loss sustain-
! ed in 1840, and our impression is, that it
will fall short of one half.
The Georgia and Carolina R lilroads
have both sustained slight injury, but that
will lie repaired in three or four days —
when they will transport passengers and
the mails with tfieir accustomed regularity
and facility. indeed the Carolina Road
will do it after to day.
Our neighbois in Hamburg, their locali
ty being much lower, we regret to say
have been much greater sufferers than in
this city. There the water wa* in every
store in the place, (Mr. Jnsi.ih Nih’ey’s ex
cepted) from one inch to six feet, ami in
some, nearly the whole contents were en-
litely or partially destroyed. The loss has
therefore been very great in propotfon to
the extent ot the stocks on hand. There,
too, a young man, a clerk in the stole of
Mr. Geoige Robetls m, whose name we did
not learn, was unfortunately drowned, by
| venturing beyond Lis depth into the cur
rent.
Of course in such a calamity there were
^ many hairbreadth escapes from drowning,
and many touching, thrilling incidents—
deeds of noble daring in tbe rescue of wn-
rnen and children. 7 lie-e indeed, ^vere
numerous — and we might fill columns with
naratives s'.ranger than fiction; but we have
not time to chronicle them. The approv
ing consciences of those who performed
them and the gratitude oftlie escaped, will
better compensate than any panegyric we
can pronounce.
Great, however, as has been the calamity
J and li»ss in this im-mediate community, it.
dwindles into insignificance when cornpaied
with (hat sustained by the river planters,
whose splendid crops, now near ly ripe for
the harvest have been almost entirely des
troyed—scarcely one has saved even a part
; of his crop grown on the liver bottoms.

We have received a Circular containing
the proceedings of a Democratic meeting
in Savannah, last Wednesday night, in
in which it is proposed to call a Mass meet
ing of the Democratic Party—and the 1 Sth
of .September,and Atlanta, are the lime and
place designated for (his meeting.
We cheerfully endorse the proposition of
our Savannah friends to call a Mass meet
ing of the Democratic party, but in relation
to the time and place designated, we beg
leave to dissent.
The meeting at Atlanta has been called
hy the committee withdrawing the Consti
tutional Union Ticket. With all due re
spect for the good motives and patriotic
intentions of our Democratic friends of Chat
ham, we must say, it is a special meeting
of members of the late Constitutional Un
ion Party, to determine what course of pol
icy they shall iierealier pursue, in relation
to ihe Presidential question. If the action
of that meeting shall be such as we sincere’
iy hope arid trust u will he, and the expect
tation can be entertained that the party will
be cordially united, then we would he hap-

is the gubern.itn e system of our unfortunate couii-
j try.
j “We do not doubt that in Gardena®, and indeed
! in the capital® of all departments of tlii-j island, new
prisons are needed —for the vast prison at this capi
tal is so full of inmate**, innocent or guilty, that they
haw* scarcely room to stand up; and ihe government,
far from making the people more moril, hy estab
lishing .n-tuutioris of education, and houses of ben
eficence for the orphans arid beggars who roam
about our streets, i® expending a -fill larger sum in
the construction of prisons, barracks* and forts ; for
tyranny does not role without terror, and can only
be sustained hy military a» d inquisitorial power, ex-
i erased against d- fenceless subjects.
! “Doubtless Mr. Hector will be able to realise his
i desire ami receive considerable sums to carry into
effrct bis project of a prison; but die Cuban people,
; who are one and all watching the V andal acts of their
Government, will have an account to settle with Mr.
Hector and the individuals which contribute; consid
ering hodi the author of the project, and its abettors,
infamous.

' construct'on of a prison in which they are to tic in-

Another article contains a rousing appeal to the
j Cubans against the Spaniards and Spanish govern-
t merit. We trau.-l.ate the following passages:—
I tCtib.tn*d coutemplete the horrible scene presen
ted to your adored country ; meditate on the situa-
. lions to which our oppressors have been reduced;
let us raise our eyes to heaven, and we shall see there
the divine light which ought to guide ns,we shall see
j written in tbe characleis of tire the justice of our
, rights. God alone is the Sovereign of the world;
His laws are the only code which v\e are bound to
obey; let iis destroy from the earth the tyrants who
who usurp the power of the Supreme Being, who
only desires justice, liberty and fraternity among men.
Let us re-establish that divine, moral, religious and
, humane code, which only proposes tlie peace of the
people, the mental tranquility of man. and the pro
gress. of universal civilization. Let us burn up those
laws which being based on selfishness, robbery and
injustice, oppress, devour, and utterly destroy us.”
1 This is hold language to lie puhli-hed in the ‘ever
faithful' island of Cuba, but we conriot say that we
, have any great expectations from tbe movement.

what the Atlanta mee’iiM? shall do, the pro
priety of calling a mass meeting of the
Party is,in our humble opinion, of doubtful
policy. If a Mass Meeting shall be deter
mined on, we agree with our DeKalb
friends and our cotemporary, the Constitu
tionalist, that the Stone Mountaiu should be
selected as the place.
The Dniiocracy of Chatham,
We are truly pleased vviih the -pirit of
the nier ting ntr last Wednesday in Savan’
rial). The proceedings we publish else
where. We, of course, cannot say to
what extent the two wings of the party in
Chatham have progressed in the patriotic
endeavor to heal past divisions and secure
the ; tesent and future unity of the I’a'tv.
From the published report, and the temper
of the Republican, however, we are indu
ced to hope that a union of the Democra
cy of Chatham is about to he cemented
which “bodes no good” to the Republican
and its Whig associates. We would here
make a few remaiks pertinent to the occa
sion, which every Democrat in Georgia, of
whatever position in ie=pect to late party
affinities, should ponder and study well.
The Democracy of Chatham, Union ami
Southern Rights, have united iti good faith,
we presume, to achieve one great and par
amount end, viz: the tiiumph of the Dem
ocratic party in the Presidential election,
and of consequence the maintainance and
support of Democratic principles and pol
icy in the administration of the government.
If the spirit of our Democratic friends in
Chatham is such as we take it to he, the rela
tion in which Union be Southern Rightsdem-
ocrats will s'and to each other hereafter will
be precisely that which existed prior to the
separation in 1850. That is to say; the
distinction will he lost and all stand upon
the same footing. If this shall be the case,
there will be, the*e can be, no di-potation
as to the propriety of ibis or that man being
voted (or, if a reliable Democrat. Any
dispute as to the right or propriety of ta
king off this name from the Demociatic
Clectoial Ticket and putting on lhat, will
puivetlrat there is difference of sentiment
exi-ting in the Democratic ranks.and a latent
dissatisfaction which will forever harrass
and divide the organization. We have no
revenge to gratify—all our hard feelings
we are prepared to consign to the grave—
we have no petty ptejudices for or against
any man who pmclairns himself a Demo*
crat and no'hing hut a Democrat. And if
we have expressed ourselves as opposed to
any altetation of the present Ticket — we
have done so from no unkind feelings to our
Union Democratic friends, to w horn we prof
