tb his Excellency Jamks Bcchajan,
President of the United States.
The undersigned citizen* of the United State*, and
elector* of the State of Connerticvt, respectfully offer to
y,,ur Emiiency this their Memorial:
The ftiii«iaiueutal principle of the constitution of the
V uited Slutes and of our political institutions is, that the
jropt/ shall make their oirn laws and elect their own rn-
We see with grief, if not with astonishment, that Gov.
Walker, of Kansas, openly represents and proclaims that
the President of the Luited States is employing through
him an army,one purpose of which is toforcethe pro-Mai
Kansas to obey law* not their own, nor of the I nited
States, but laws which it is notorious, and established
upon evidence, the > never made, and rulers they nev
er elected.
We represent, therefore, that bv tic foregoing your
excellency is openly held up and proclaimed, to the
great derogation of our actional character, as violating
in its most essential particular the solemn oath which
the President has taken to support the Constitution of
this Union.
We call attention/urtlier to the fact that vour excel
lency is, in like maimer, held up to this nation, to all
Mankind, and to all posterity, in the attitude of "levying
scar against [a portion ofj the l nited States by ein-
ploying arms in Kansas to uphold a body of men, and
u code of enactin' nts purporting to be legislative, but
which never had the election nor sanction, nor consent,
of the people of the Territory.
We earnestly represent to your excellency that we
also have takeii the oath to obey the constitution; and
vourer-ellemy maybe assured that we shall not re
frain from the prayer that Almighty God will make
your adminlrtratiiia an example of justice and benefi
cence, and with Bis terrible majesty protect our people
end our constitution.

Washington City, August 15.1S57.
Gf.ntlemf.n ; Ou my recent return to this city, after
a fortnight’s absence,.yeur memorial, without date, was
placed in mv ho nk. through the agency at Mr. Horatio
King, of tile Post Office Department, to whom it had
been intni-vd From the iii.-oiiigiiisbcd source whence
it proceeds, as well as its peculiar character, I have
deemed it proper to depart h um my- general rule in such
cases, and give it an answer.
You hist assert that "the fundamental principle of
the constitution of the United States mid of our polit
ical institutions is <btt the people shall make their own
laws and elect their owa rulers.’’ You then express
your grid aud astonishment that I should have viola
ted tins principle, ur.d, through Gov. V\ ulkcr, have em
ployed ah aru'V, "one puqtose of which is to force the
people of Kansas to obey law< not their own, nor of the
United State*, but laws which it is notorious, aud es
tablished upon evidence, they never made, and rulers
they never elected.” And. as a corollary troin the
foregoing, you represent that I am “openly held up
aad proclaimed, to the great derogation of our national
character, as violating in its most essential particular
the solemn oath which the President has taken to sup
port the Constitution of this Union." 0
These are heavy charges proceeding from gentlemen
of your high character, and, if well founded, ought to
consign mv name to infamy. But in proportion to their
gravity, common justice, to aay nothing of Christian
charity, required tliat before making them you should
have dearly ascertained that they were well founded.
If not, they will rebound with withering condemnation
upon their authors. Have you performed this preliin-
i i:ry dntv towards the man who, however unworthy,
is the AJtiief Magistrate of your country? Ifso either
you cr I are laboring under a strange delusion. Should
th's prove to he your cuse, it will present a memorable
example of the truth that political prejudice is blind c veil
to the existence of tlie plainest aud most palpable
historical facts. To these tacts let us refer.
When I entered upon the duties of the Presidential
office, on the 4th of March lust, what was the condition
of Kansas? Toil Territory had been organized under
the act of Congress of 30th May, 1851, and the govern
ment in ull its branches was iu full operation. A gov
ernor, secretary of the Territory, chief justice, two as
sociate justices, a marshal, and district attorney had
been appointed by mv predecessor, by and with the
advice and consent of the Senute, and were nil engaged
in discharging their respective duties. A (side of laws
had been enacted by the territorial legislature; and the
jn tieiary were employed in expounding and carrying
these laws into effect. It is quite true thut a controver
sy had previously arisen respecting the validity of the
election of members of the territorial legislature and of
the laws passed by them; but at the time I entered upon
my official duties Congress had recognised this legisla
ture iu different forms and hv different enactments.
The delegate elected to the House of Representatives,
under a territorial law, had just completed his term of
service on the day previous to my inauguration. In
fact, I found the government of Kansas as well estab
lished us that of any other Territory Under these cir
cumstances, wliut was mv duty? Was it not to sus
tain this government? to protect it from the violence of
lawless men, who were determined either to rule or
ruin 7 to prevent it from being overturned by force?—in
the language of the constitution, to “take care that the
laws be faithfully executed?” It was for this purpose,
and tiiis alone, that 1 ordered a military force to Kansas,
to act »s a posse coixitolus in aiding the civil magistrate
to carry the laws into execution.
The condition of the Territory at the time, which I
Heed not portray, rendered tiiis precaution absolutely
necessary. In this state of affairs, would I not have
been justly condemned had I left the marshal and other
officers of a like Character impotent to execute the pro
cess and judgments of courts of justice established by
Congress, or by the territorial legislature under its ex
press i utborify, and thus have suffered the government
itself to become an object of contempt in the eyes of the
people.’ And vet tiiis is what you designate as forcing
“the people of Kansas to obey" laws not their own, nor
of the United Sirrtos;' 1 and for doing which you have de
nounced ine as having violated my solemn oath. I ask,
what else could I have done, or ought I to have done?
Would you have desired that I should abandon the ter
ritorial government, sanctioned as it had been by Con
gress, to illegal violence, and thus renew the scenes of
civil war and bloodshed which every patriot in the
country had deplored! This would, indeed, have been
to violate ray oath of otfic ej and to fix a damning blot
on the character of my administration.
I most cheerfully admit that the necessity for
sending a military force to Kansas to aid in the
execution of the civil law reflects no credit upon
th- character of our country. But let the blame
fall upon the heads of the guilty. Whence did this
necessity arise? A portion of tiie people of Kan
sas, unwilling to trust the ballot box—the certain
American remedy for tke redress of all grievances
—undertook to create an independent government
for them- ives. Had this attempt proved success
ful, it Would ot course, have subverted the exist
ing government, prescribed and recognised by
Congress, and substituted a revolutionary govern
ment in its stead. This was a usurpation of the same
character as it would he for a portion of the peo
ple of Connecticut to undertake to establish a sep
arate govern men t within its chartered limits for
the purpose of r-dre-siug any grievance, real nr
imaginary, of which they might have complained
against the legitimate State government. Such
« principle, if carried iu’o execution would de
stroy all lawful authority and produce 111111-01031 au-
archy.
I ought to specify more particularly a condition of
affairs, which I have embraced only in general terms,
requiring the presence of a military force in Kansas.
The Congress of the United Slates had most wisely
•declared it to be“the true intent aud meaning of
this act (the act organizing the Territory) not
to legislate elavety into any Territory or .Slate, uor
to exclude it therefrom, hut to leave the people
thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their do
mestic institutions in their own wav, subject only
to the constitution of the United States.” As a
natural consequence, Congress has also prescribed
by the same act that when the Territory of Kansas
shall he admitted as a State it “shall he received
into the Union, with or without slavery, as tin ir
constitution may prescrioc at the time ofth ir ad
mission.”
Slavery existed at that period, and still exists in
Kansas," under the constitution of the United
States. This point has at last been finally decided
by the highest tribunal known to our laws, llow
it could ever have been seriously doubted is a
mystery. If a confederation of sovereign States
acquire a new Territory at the expense of their
common blood and treasure, surely one set of the
partner" can have no right to exclude the other from
its enjoyment b_y proh.biting them from taking in
to it whatsoever is recognised to be property by
the common constitution. But when the people
—th ebona fide residents of such Territory—pro
ceed to frame a State coustitutiou, then it is their
right to decide the important question for them
selves whether they will continue,modify,or abolish
slavery. To them, and to them alone, does this
question belong, free tiom all foreign interference.
Iu the opinion of the territorial legislature of
Kansas, the time liad arrived for entering the
Union, and they accordingly passed a law to elect
delegates for the purpose of framing a State con
stitution. This law was fair and just in its pro
visions. It conferred the right of suffrage on
■“every bona fide inhabitant ot the Territory;” aud,
for the purpose of preventing fraud, and the
intrusion of citizens ot near or distant States, most
properly confined this right to those w ho had
resided therein three months previous to the elec
tion. Here a fair opportunity was presented for
*11 the qualified resident citizens of the Territory,
to whatever organization they might have pre
viously belonged, to participate 111 the election,
and to express their opinions at tiie b*.lot-box on
the question of slavery. But numbers of lawless
men still continued to resist the regular territorial
government. Thee" refused either to be registered
or to vole; and the members of the convention were
elected, legally and properly, without rtieir inter
vention. The convention will soon assemble to
perform the solemn duty of fmining a consti.ution
for themseives and their posterity: aud in the sia e
of incipient rebellion which still exists in Kansas
it is my imperative duty to employ the troops of
the United States, should this become necessary,
in defending the convention against violence
whilst flaming the constitution, and in protecting
the “bonojide inhabitants” qualified to vote under
the pro isions of this instrument in the free exercise
ot he nght .f suffrage when it shall be submitted
to them tor their approbation or rejection.
I have entire confidence in Gov. Walker that the
troops wil. not lie employed except to .esist actual
aggression or in the execution of the laws; and
this not until the power of the civil magistrate
shall prove unavailing. Following the wise ex
ample of Mr. Madison towards the Hartford Con
vention. illegal and dang, r >us combinations, such
as that of the Topeka convention, will not be dis
turbed unless they shall attempt to perform some
act which will bring them into actual collision with
the constitution and the laws. In that event, they
shall be resisted and put down by the whole power
cf the government. In performing this duty I
...... have too appiohaiu.u ot my ow n conscience,
and, as I humbly trust of my God.
* t ank you fur the assurance that yon will
“not refrain from the prayer that Almighty God
will make rn v administration an example of jus
tice and beneficence.” You can gieatly assist mein
arriving at this blessed consummation by exerting
your influence in allaying the existing sectional
excitement on the subject of slavery, which lias
been productive of much evil and no good, and
which, if it could succeed in attaining its obj et,
w ould ruin the slave as well as his master. This
would be a work of genuine philanthropy. Every
day of my life I leel how inadequate lam to per
form the duties of mv high station without th-
continued support of Divine Providence; yet, plac
ing my trust in Him, and in Him alone, I entertain
a good hope that He will enable me to do equal
justice to all portions of the Union, and thus render
me an humble instrument in restoring peace and
harmony among the people of the several States.
Yours, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.

The death of the son of Mrs. Stowe, who was
recently drowned in the Connecticut river, in New
Hampshire, has a painful sequel to it. A fellow
student at Dartmouth writes as follows;
Young Stowe, in company with three of his
classmates, all Freshmen, swam across the Connec
ticut. and lauded on the Vermont side. Straying
into a field some distance off. they commenced
picking strawberries. Theown-rof the field seeing
them 011 his grounds, gave chase to them and
drove them into the water. Though exhausted by
their long mn, they attempted to re-swim the riv
er. but all failed and sank. The owner of the
strawberry field refused for sometime to allow- his
boat to be* sent to their rescue, until a young man
of this city cut another boaWrom its moorings and
succeeded in reaching three of the party before
they sank. But Stowe, who was the hindmost,
failed before the beat reached him, and though his
body was recovered within fifteen minutes, life
was extinct.

Persuant to notice, a large and respectable por
tion of the citizens of Twigs and Pulaski counties,
convened at Tarversville academy on the the 13th
of August, to take into consideration the necessity
of immediate and prompt action essential to the
success ot tiie Macon and Brunswick Railroad, to
be located on or near the route surveyed on the
eastern side of the Ocmulgee river, passing through
the counties of Twiggs, Pulaski ami Teltair.
On motion of Col. E. E. Crocker, Capt. Daniel
W. -Shine was appointed chairman and Geo. W.
Jordan requested to act as Secretary.
The chairman in a few pertinent remarks ex
plained the object of the Meeting, when upon mo

Our Southern readers would be able to estimate
the mischievous tendancy of the course adopted
by certain journalists and orators who set themsel
ves up as the p c 11 liar organs and defenders of the
S mtli, if th-v could only read from day to day, the
proofs of the uses to which the so-called Republi
can p-ipers snd spouters convert these “Southern”
diatribes against the Administration, its men, and
its measures. Nothing gives the enemies of the
Union, the hater* of the Constitution, the libelers
of the South, a tithe of the gratification which is
imparted hy some smart ebullition of spleen from
a crank v provincial member of the press-gang dow-n
South, of whom nobody bevond his village ever
heard, and for w hom nobody cares; or by some
fierce and fiery denunciation from an impassioned
and unregulated declaimer. who probably thinks
of nothing hut the temporary impression of his
spontingT or by any assault of any description,
however arbitrary, un jus', or false, which is direct
ed against the Administration from a Southern
source.
Those things are nromply and (industriously
caught up by the adversaries of the Democratic
party everywhere in the country; and there is no
end to the pretended argumentation, absurd infer
ences, and silly imputations circulated in the
North against the present Administration general
ly, and against President Buchanan in particular
—all founded on these pseudo-Soutlien demonstra
tions!
But every man the least acquainted with the
true state of the case know* full well that there
self constituted Southern organs do not accurately
repsent the opinions or wishes, and still less the
feelings, of the Southern people towards the Ad
ministration or its popular and honored chief.
Those opinions, wishes, and feelings have been
demonstrated in a much more correct, as well as
morp significant and effective manner; through the
recent elections. Those elections, where at the
speculations, and partisan prejudices, and (we
shrewdly suspect) disyorah aspirations of certain
Hotspurs in the political field have been brought
to (he test of the imperative decision of :he Pulic
Voice, have proved that the People, throughout
the whole extent of the Southern States are with
the Administration—ir’th the President and his
Cabinet, as the men of their choice. Nowhere,
outside of the columns of the self duped “organs of
Southern opin’on.” cm we here or learn of the
least sign of disaffection to them, fi am one end of
the South to the other; among’he hone and sinew
of the Southern neople: among those whose votes
tel! on election days, whether iu county, State, or
national decisions.
Now, in view of these facts—to which we chal
lenge denial—are we not right in saving that the
journal* to which we ailude do really the greatest
mischief to the South, by giving a handle to the
enemies of the South?
The enemies of the Administration in the North
are making precisely the same nse of these self-
constituted organs of the South, which Barrington
the famous English robber, made of the cutler,
whom he victimized while he employed him in the
service of manufacturing an instrument wherewith
to push hi* particular hade.
Barrington asked the cutler to make for him
a tool a very peculiar construction. The simple-
ninded artisan, captivated by the imposing and
sedutcive addressjof his employer, absented, and
worked dav and night in perfecting the instru
ment. Barrington called for it at the appointed
time, and paid the bil ; but, while waiting for his
■bange. indulged in various evolutions, the result
of all which w as the loss to the entlrr, not only
if what his employer bad so ostentatiously paid,
but. of a great deal more solid mon -y In the same
pocket! In a word, he liad manufactured an in
strument wherewith to injure liimselP He had
made a handle for his enemy!
How long will the cutlers, among the enemies to
furn
ish instruments to the common enemies of the
Union and the Constitution in the North? How
long will they persist in being used as the manu
factures of tools of the very peculiar construction
required by Seward, Greeley, Weed, «X Co?

If we could am st the attention of the Commis

to the Lincoln Grape, which, in the opinion of com
petent judges, is the best wine-grape iu America,
or, p.-ibaps. in the world. Certainly the best wine
we ever tasted, was a home-made article manufac
tured from this grape by Dr. Z. Butt. The Lin
coln is of an astonishing thrifty growth; it is well
adapted to our soil and climate; it seems proof
against all blighting influences; it is free from
pulp; it contains little seed; aud its flavor is as
perative for the protection of the territory—the

T he Journal of Commerce says:
“The failure of the Atlantic telegraph expedi
tion, by reason of a rupture of the wire some 350
miles from the starting point on the coast of Ire
land, is r,o more than it was reasonable to expect,
although hopes were entertained of a more au
spicious result. After meeting with this disaster
tiie expedition returned to the coast of Ireland,
cither to conittHtice th- work anew with the *2,(100
miles e>f wire unexpended, or to postpone the whole
matter untilnext year, as should be counselled hy
the savans in council assembled. We apprehend
that the latter alternative will be adopted. The
season is so far advanced that heavy weather
would almost of necessity be encountered before
the whole process could be completed; and a gale
of w ind, such as is often experienced iu September
in the region of Newfoundland, is sufficiently for
midable even to « vessel w hich has the use of her
limbs. To one attached to a wire l,5(Mi or 2,000
miles long, which can nehher be strained nor
abandoned without serious damage, sueb gab s
would be necessarily disastrous, and should nut bo
encountered without the most urgent necessity.
On the whole, we consider the experiment a failure
for the present year. That the feat w ill be accom
plished in Idbe, or in some subsequent year, is
more than probable; though we cannot shut our
eyes to the fact that many things which are prac
ticable in theory are impracticable in fact. It may
not he so with the Atlantic telegraph project, and
we trust it will not But it is very possible that
many more unsuccessful experiments will have to
be made before the exact structure size, &c , of
the wire, the machinery for laying it, the attending
circumstances, will all be so favorable as to secure
the desired result.”

Mr. Editor—I have been travel ling several days
through the Soiuh-wes'ern counties in the First
District, and having some curiosity to know how
matters stood, and the probable chances between
Seward and Gauldeu. I become familiar with the
tactics of the American party. It is expected that
Mr. Bartow will ultimately be the candidate of the
American party, and the Know Nothings are very
busy electioneering against Reward. They regard
his chances of an election as being good from t"e
unanimity of sentiment among the Democrats.
They therefore express much sympathy for Gaul-
den. and are exerting themselves to render. Dem
ocrats dissatisfied with rieward so as to induce
them to vote for Gattlden, and thereby weaken
Seward and elect Bartow—knowing that Gaulden
is out of the question. Will the Democratic party
task permit this ? Will they not rrilv to their
s'rong man, and sustain him? Will the Democrat
ic party stand idly by and allow the Know Nothings
to play out this game/ Certainly they should
not. Seward is the mar,, an J will, if the Democrats
are true to themselve*, beat Bartow. What sar
you/ Come up, ye Democrats, to the work. Mr.
Gaulden's paper and the American papers de
nounce Seward, and do not whisper aught against
Gaulden. The tiling is too apparent, and every
true hearted Democrat should be on his guard and
at his post. I was in Wayne to-day aud heard

M. A Bell,Esq.—Dear Sir: Yours of August
7, is at hand. You ask “is the pro-slavery party
supporting Walker, or are they fighting to make
Kansas a slave State?’’ The proslavery party is
disposed to support Walkerso fai as they deem he
is acting right, and no farther. The party is dis
posed to sustain him in the execution of the laws,
and the putting down treason and rebellion, so
rife among the Abolitionists. Walker himself,
will admit that the only trouble he has had, is
with the Abolitionists. The only question of dif
ference, it seems to me, between Walker and any
of the pro-slavery men, is that of submitting the
Constitution to be framed by the convention short
ly to assemble, to the people. Some few of the pro-
slavery men here are not in favor of submitting the
Constitution to the people at all, while a large major
ity of the party is in favorof suhmiling it with a res
triction, requiringat least, six months residence in
the Territory, so as to cut out all those who are
denominated here as the “carpet sack gentry”
from the North, who have doubtless been imported
here by the aid societies. If this description of
voters are not classed as bona fide citizens entitled
to vote, wo may possibly c.vrv the election. YV e

Leavenworth, Kansas, Aug 18.
Attending the land sales at Osawkee several
days. I had an excellent opportunity of ascertain
ing the political seuti nettts and feelings of the
sovereign squatters. Of course opinions are as
various as the degrees of lattitude from which the
settlers come. Hut there was one sentiment,
which, in most classes, I found predominant over
all others, and that was a desire to maintain the
peace and quiet of the Territory undisturbed by
agitato s within her borders, or officious intermed-
dlers from abroad. Before the close of the sales a
Democratic meeting was held, at which resolutions
were passed, denouncing in the strongest and most
emphatic language, all interference by outsiders”
in the domestic affairs of the Territory, endorsing
the course of Gov. Walker, and demanding the
submission of the Constitution to be formed at Le-
compton to a vote of the people Judge Elinore
presided over the meeting; ex-Governor Shannon
was chairman of the committee on resolutions:
and speeches, endorsing the resolutions, were made
by General Whitfield and Messrs. Perrin and Gar
rett.
While the people, the bona fide settlers of Kan
sas, desire peace, and are opposed to all utineces
sary “agitation” of the vexed question of slavery,
there are in the Territory several restless and am
bitious demagogues, whose vocation it is to excite
am] influence the popular mind, that they may be
elevated to powerat whatever cost to the peac
aud happiness of the people. Of all these agitators,
the most restless and dangerous is James H. Lane;
or, as he is familiarly called by his followers,
“Jim” Lane. This turbulent and unprincipled
demagogue is untiring in his effort to stir up the
populace to sedition and revolutions, speaking
« henever and wherever he can find au audience,
and 011 all occasions making the most inflamma
tory appeals to the passions aud prejudices of his
hearers.

and unqualifiedly endorsed Gov. Walker's course,

not be out of place here to state that the Judge has
in his service the largest number of slaves of any
person in the Territory. A committee was ap
pointed to prepare resolutions expressive of the
sense of the meeting, which was composed prin
cipally ot southern men, and among the number
were two or three members of the constitutional
convention, whose views on the slavery question
aie not only of a decided, but are said to lie of an

Michael Stevens, jr., of the pilot boat America, of I Frank Blair, an avowed freesoiler, Stevenson and
i Newburyport. A11 hour and a half before, while
standing upon the stern of his pilot boat, with a
spy glass in hand, the other persons of the crew
being at the same time asleep below deck, a sud-
den movement of the boom had knocked him over-
hoard. Being a good swimmer lie had been able to
keep himself from drow ning for an extraordinary
length of time, but liad little strength remaining
when the Bloomer approached him. Being to the

Capt. Davis: but had he been to windward he
would have been unable to make himself heard.
While his strength lasted he used his exertions to
swim after his boat, but finding the chase a hope
less one, and his strength waning, he directed his
energies to save himself from drowning Every
attention which his condition required was bestow
ed upon him by Capt. Davis, aud when he reached
Portland he had completely recovered from the
effects of his perilous adventure. On Monday Mr.
Stevens returned to his family at Newburyport.
The joy they must have felt upon hearing of his
safety, and upon seeing him once more among
them, was such as may be imagined, but cannot
well be described. The Newburyport paper of
Monday morning closed its account of his loss with
these words, having all the solemnity of prophecy,
and more than its customary falsehood, thanks to
Mr. 8tephen»'s courageous tenacity of life, the
providential direction of the w ind, and the schoon

other Bloomer we ever heard of “All that we

Flnnge a stone into the middle of a lake and from the
point where it falls, ripples will spread ia ever-widening
rings until they reach at last every portion ofits margin. So
it is with a great discovery or invention; wherever it
may be ushered to the light, its fame is certain in the end
to fill the world. This Inis been strikingly illustrated in
the progress of Professor Holloway's invaluable reme
dies. Twenty years ago they were first announced in
Loudon; now they nre the standard medicines of both
hemispheres. Such is the resistless, far-circling
sweep of a grand utilitarian discovery, when applied to
the highest philanthropic purposes, and aided hy the
motive pow er of tiie Press. What are tiie greatest mili
tary achievments compared with those of Thomas Hoi-
loway? It it be true that the man who causes two
blades of grass to grow where but ou previously grew,
what shall he said of him who cures ten sick persons
where hut one was cured before. Holloway, if tiie ac
cumulated testimony of all nations is to be believed, has
done much more than this. Diseases which, prior to
the introduction of his Pills and ointment, had baffled
science, are now relieved with an expedition and cer
tainly which are literally astounding. There isnoget-
ting round or over tiie fact, for it is avouched by the
voluntary declaration of convalescent multitudes. Pro
fessional jealousy and prejudice, the most formidable
antngoniststliat Truth encounters, have been vanquish
ed by the success of these preparations, ami time-hon
ored medical institutions ot Continental Europe have
been constrained to admit their value and sanction their
employment.
In tiiis country where tiie people are always ready to
test whatever is new, and equally sagacious in discrim
inating between the chaff and the wheat of tiie great
mass of novelties submitted to them, the rapidity with
which Holloway’s Pills and Ointment har e obtained
universal confidence lias, perhaps, no parallel in tiie his
tory of science. Their fame lias radiated from the local
point in New York to the remotest section of the Union.

Chinese Sugar l ane s yrup.—YY T e yesterday re
ceived two bottles of excellent syrup from M. S.
F\ Keller, of Effingham. He planted a small patch
this spring, which yielded even beyond Ins expec
tations. He has cut and ground the cane, and
made several gallons of fine syrup, and informs ns
that the cane has started up again, and bids fair
to mature another crop before frost. If it should
do this, it would present the unusual spectacle of
two crops of syrup from the land in a single season.
But even it the cane should not come to maturity,
it would at least furnish an excellent crop of fod
der. The syrup is, we think, the first yet made in
this section ofthe State. YYe learn that many farm-
eis w ho planted thecane.didso with the intention of
using it for fodder, fearing that tbe yield of syrup
would not pay for the cost of a mill to grind the
cane. The experience of Mr. Keller proves that a
large quantity of syrup may be obtained from a
small piece of ground, and there will still remain
a host of others, avowed emancipationists, and the
Know Nothings, as a party in Missouri, supported
him. And now when it is merely supposed he is
elected, the Abolition press, here and elsewhere, are
claiming the Missouri election as a free soil triumph.
And yet tiie Know Nothings in Ga. say the Demo
cratic papers in Kansas are thoroughly abolitionised.
The Democrats here, both from North and South,
are the only men as a party, who boldly defend the
rights of the southern States. The Know North,
ings at the North are completely abolitionised, and
in many of the southern States, the party are with
the free soilers and emancipationists, to defeat the
Democracy. Look at the proposition of the Rich
mond YY’hig, a Know Nothing organ. It proposes
to effect a fusion in l “60,of all parties opposed to the
Democracy. The result of that would be, to aboli
tinman the Southern Know Nothings. And yet it is
said the Democratic press here are abolitionised.
If we had to depend upon such a reckless party as
you have in Georgia, we might as well give up the
contest in Kansas. I believe I have answered all
your questions fairly.
Yours truly, * Lucian J. Easter.
From the Constitutionlist.
Mr, Editor : I write this for the benefit of my
brother sugar millet farmers for this season. I
have been experimenting for the last two weeks
in making syrup, first with a small wooden mill
1 had made in Augusta, that performed badly, aud
gave out before I got twenty-five gallons of syrup.
I sent and got one of Hopkins & Co,’s iron mills
from Augusta, that is, I think, one of the best
planned and got up implements for its object that
I have ever seen—oxacllv the thing if the tray was
a little longer, deeper, and more inclitieiF; mine
was run over sometimes ; It is easily drawn hy one
mule under full feed, and appears to be durable,
and makes no noise. I can with ease express
thirty gallons of the juice from the cane per hour.
I cannot too highly recommend it to all who intend
to make syrup. I think 1 have wasted some cane
by commencing before it was ripe, and the syrup
not so good. I commenced when the seed had
turned black, and had just gone out of the milk;
thejuice looked green, and tasted green, and turn
ed out but one gallon of syrup to eight gallons of
thejuice. My next experiment—(lie cane was still
riper, though not fully ripe; the juice, too, tasted
bitter, and it turned out one gallon of syrup to six
of the juiue, made agreeable to Dr Butler’s sacltri-
meter. I have just finished boding a lot from cane
that appear.- fully ripe, the seed fully matured, the
stalks yellow, and yellowish inclined, with red
streaks about the joints. The whole stalk appears
mellow and ripe: the juice looked very different
from t he first; instead of a green vegetable color,
it had a clear yellow appearance, and from throe
hundred and five gallons of thejuice, we made
over sixty gallons of beautiful syrup, superior
to any we had made before. I think we should
stop and cut off the seed from the eane several days
before we use it. I ground one cart load that had
been stripped, cut and put. in the shade five days
before we ground it, and it turned out much the
best. This is all I have to ri port now.

to believe, from what we have thus far experienced _ • o/wcago
in wire-laying, that, under ordinary circumstances
of weather, a,id with machitiety adapted to the
purpose, (for such as we had on board requires
altering and improving,) tiie cab e may be laid in
safety on the track marked out for it over the At

had been running at the rate of from three to four
knote through tiie night, with some motion from
a moderate bead sea. and the company’s chief en
gineer and men attending tln ir barkes to lessen
the expenditure of cable, until they finally carried
it away, which made all hands of us through
the day like a household, or lamily, which had
lost their dearest friend; for officers and men had
become deeply interested in the success of the en

occurred in hers Majesty’s steam brig Cyclops
for Y'alencia Bay, Ireland, requesting that the
Niagara, Susquehanna, and Agantempon should
proceed to this place, after making certain experi

The Leopard proceed-d at once to Spithead.
Whether the company intend to supply ad
ditional cable and try it again this season, or defer
it until next summer, Iain as yet unadvised. If
the latter, tbe wire will have to be taken out of the
ship aud n tarred, to save it from the effects of rust.

“YVe had something of a race to-day, and a good
deal of excitement for a while. The Agamemnon
and Niagara have each large fenders or yards over
their propellers. The former lias a load of about
1,5011 tons, and we now about 1,150. both load and
guard uot much of an assistance in a race, and be
sides I was a little afraid of the Agamemnon, as
every one declares in England that she can steam
eleven and twelve knots, and I thought certainly
the Susquehanna would lead us badly. In this
trim we are. So, with all these reasons, I man
aged to keep a little back than otherwise. This

story of hard firing at. once. The sea was smooth,
and the wind light after us—smoke just up and
down when at full speed. At 5, p. m , the relative
positions were nearly as follows: The Agamem

just see her smoke, and the Susquehanna was about
seven or eight miles astern. As Captain Hudson
wanted to keep company with the Ageutemnon,
we stopped and waited for her.”

various complaints fot* which it is recommended, and in
offering it to our customers, we do so with more con

the kind.

Consultation ard Examination each morning.
A Far-gone Case.—An old man was seen buy
ing an old sofa-bed, which he said was full of bed
bugs. ’YVhatdoyoti buy that for,” said some one
to him, “when you say yourself it is-so full of
vermin?” “YY'hy!” said the old gallant, earnestly,
“those bugs for the last month have been preyiug
on my lady-love, and it would break my heart
to know that her blood had been mixed with any
body else’s but mine.”
Shawl Printing.—The present method of im
pressing d,signs on shaw ls is known to he an ex
pensive one, having to be performed by single
plates. But it is announced that a German man
ufacturer has devised a new plan, by which lie
produces in a single day thirty shawls, printed in
ten colors, with the mere aid of one man and
one juvenile assistant, thus diminishing by
some 2,000 per cent, the cost of the operation of im
pressing. '
prices of molasses, this fact is worthy the attention
of planters, as it seems to be rendered certain that
a comparatively small piece of laud will produce
all tbe syrup they may need, at at} almost nominal
expense.
The sample sent us is very pleasant in flavor,
and, we think, as well adapted to general use as
the product of the sugar cane. Of this, however,
we can judge better after submitting it to the
“home department,” and testing its qualities by ac
tual experiment.
A YY'estern “Harvest Home.”—The follow
ing paragraph from the Chicago Tribune of Tues
day . gives an Idea of bow harvesting is done at
tbe YVest:
A iriend of our says thnt one day Inst week be
went up on the top of a hill called Moist Zion, six
miles from Janesville, Rock county, YVis., and
counted on the surrounding plain one hundred and
sixty-four lioise power reaping machines, busily
cutting down wheat. Titere were one thousand
men women and boys following after, binding and
shocking up the golden sheaves. It was a sight
worth seeing, to behold the grain fallii g aud be
ing gathered up at the rate of two hundred acres
per hour!
Tine Culture in the United States.—Considerable
doubt seems to exist in certain quarters as to the
success of experiments now making in various
parts of tiie country in the manufacture of wine
f om natives grapes. The following extract from tiie
News, published in Y'evay, Indiana, which was set
tled by emigrants from the Swiss village of the
same name, who were probably the first to intro
duce the grape culture in the YY’est, states some of
the causes ofits failure:
“YVe have always looked upon it as a settled
fact that any attempt to ronder genera! the culture
of the vine would result in ntin to the party at
tempting it. Our seasons are too variable—one
winter too cold—the next too open and warm—one
summer is too dry and too liot—another is too wet.
The truth is that laud 111 the Ohio river valley i*
worth more money per acre to raise grass and
wheat, or corn, than it is to raise grapes. V\>
regard it as settled that any man who enters into
the culture of the vine, without a capital like that
of Mr. Longwi rth ot Cincinnati, will be ruined
in ten years. YVe are sure that the result ofthe
chemical analysis will show that all the money
Mr. L has ever made out of the vine culture, has
been done by adulterating tho juice of the grape
and making a little go a good way. In support
of nur idea, we would refer to the experience of the
vine was commenced, where at an early day large
amounts ot money were expended in the prepara
tion of the ground, and plantiug grape vines.—
Now, there is not a farmer who has any vines who
takes pains do more than raise grapes enough for
his family to eat, and to make enough to have a
drink or two in the hot weather. Indeed, we may
say that in the vicinity of Y’evay, where the vine
growing was first attempted in America, it has
been abandoned and men are raising hay, whcai and
corn.”

Cremation.—The Paris Acidemy of Medicine has
again set the papers to writing and the people to
thinking earnestly of the revival of the practice of
burning the dead They say that in the summer
time tho Parisian hospitals are crowded by the
victims of pestilence engendered by the foul air
ofthe grave yards in the neighborhood. The vi
cinity of the cemeteries is a constant source of
mortality,—their putrid emanations filling the air
and the poison they emit impregnating the water
are chargeable for the many new and tearfull dis
eases of the throat and lungs which baffle all medi
cal skill.
Such is the rapidity of travel now-a-days that the
Holy Land can be reached in less then a month
from Philadelphia. Au exchange gives as the best
route the following: “First to Liverpool, 11 days;
thence to Marseilles, 4 days; thence to Alexandria.
8 days; thence to Jaffa, 2 days; and from Jaffa to
tbe Holy City, on horseback, 2 days.”
Eight years ago the only railroad track laid
down in Illinois ran from Naples, on tbe Illinois
river, to Jacksonville, a distance of twenty-two
miles. Now there is scarcely a county in the State
which is not either traversed by or within a short
distance of a railroad.
