9r. Cartwright m Starar. We lav before our reader* to-day the able and interesting Utter of IJr. Samuel Cart right, of New Orleans, on the subject of slavery and the African race. 1'to addressed to !’ • r Cart- lutition lor is not con- L»aiKXPOKT, Iowa, July 4, lt57. lice. Sir : In travelling for health and recrea tion, 1 find myself in the new and beautiful city of Davenport, on the 4th of July, and know not how better to celebrate the day than by giving expression of a few thoughts suggested by read ing year Autobiography. The work is interest ing and instructive, as it gives some account of the labors and sufferings cf those early pioneers who planted the Gospel vineyards in the great w estern wilderness, in the faco of difficulties suffi cient to have appalled the Apostles of old. The only tools they worked w ith consisted of the Bible and Hymn Book : tne rules to direct their labor were contained a little pamphlet called the “Des- cipiine, ’ and the history of the fruits of their la bors was summoned up in little annual tracts call ed •'Minutes ” The only sins they preached aga nrt were sins specified in the Bible. With these simple means, a few illiterate preachers of the word of God, fas it is written and plain to the comprehension of every man and woman,) in a very short time made more converts to Christian ity in the valley of the Mississippi, and planted more churches than did tiro Apostles themselves in the whole of Europe and Asia Oflate years, hbwerer. the grapes in many of the richest vine yards are turning sour. Wherever this isthecase, i have satisfactorily ascertained that the laborers in the vine'ards have been using other tools than the Bible and the Hymn Book, and striking at i ther sins than tho«e designated as sins in the reveal ed word of God. There was a man hung yester day in sight of this growing city, and not permit ted to see tlie sight of tlie glorious fourth, for kill ing his wife. On inquiry, I find that the sin that the rising generations in several of the schools and colleges at the Northeast are mostly taught to shun, and tkj loudest thunders of the pulpit roar against, is not murder or any other sin that the Bibie denounces, but a new sin, lately discov ered to be sin by an aristocratic junta of Exeter Hail, London—the sin of slavery. According to the dogmas of Exeter Hall, slave ry is not only a sin against God. hut a sin so heni- otis that it would he doing God a most acceptable service to abolish it. According to the Bible, the law from Mount Sinai was confined to the slave- holding Jews. The Savior of mankind began and ended his earthly pilgrimage in a .slaveholding country, and in no instance prpached against slavery as a sin. By preaching Exeter Hall dog mas from the pulpit, and insisting upon tl,em as If they were gospel truths, and by instilling them into the minds of the young of schools and col leges, as a most essentia! part of education, the people have been led into angry coutejitions, and most of the churches have been divided and split into irreconcilable fragments. The only remedy for tii- evil is to go hack to the text book of the early pioneers and preach no other doctrine than the doctrine contained in them. The Bible lias nothing to do with slavery or any other political institution. It is to reform the heart of fallen man, to cast out sin from the inner man, and thus to banish evil from society, whether slave nr free, monarchical or despotic. Hence it is adap'ed to all forms of government. It would not Le a Di- vim-]5onk if it were only suited to some particu lar form of government The Revealed Word, preached in its purity is all potent to banish sin. Yon know this to he true, because in the early y> ars of your mini-try you preached tlie pure, un adulterated word, both to slaves and freemin— both fell before it, and were converted to God; whereas the preaching of Abolitionism, or any other specie# of politics, never did nor never can convert a single sou). Instead of purifying the heart, as Bible preaching does, 't sows the seeds of infidelity, and feeds tlie evil passions which true religion subdues. The doctrine that slavery is ■in against God is nowhere taught in the Bible, but is simply au ingenious political device of the aristocrats of Great Britain to overthrow our re publican institutions and to destroy our Northern manufactures. You and I reside in tlie same great, happy, prosperous and Cristian country, whose republican example the monarchist and privileged classes of Europe so much fear. You live in the Northwest and I in the Southwest. The distance from London through France, Ger many and Austria, to tlie Turkish dominions, is not so great as tlie distance between your home and min>-. yet our political interests are as identi cal now as they would lie if we were both back on our native James River and Potomac. But it is the policy of Great Britain to make us be lieve otherwise if she can. Hence her statesmen have added a new commandment to the decalogue. They forbid slaveholding, they have denounced slavery as a sin, and have organized societies, both in Europe and America, to enli a t tlie sym pathies ot the «verld against tlie alleged sin and piocure its immediate abolition. The Abolition ists proper regard you as one of their worst cne- mi< s, because you do not concur with them in the means used to abolish slavery You are. opposed to any violent measures to blot out the alleged sir, and : u favor of dealing with the sin, if it he a sin, as other sins are dealt with, by simply preach ing the revealed word of God in its plain sense and reading. lint why class slavciy among the sin- at all. considering It is not so classed in tlie Billie ’ Why look for it to fall und“r the preach ing of the gospel, considering that it is not de nounced as a sin in holy writ, and stands on the same feotiug as tlie institution of marriage? Y ou did net derive your belief in tlie sinfulness of slavery from anything you read in the Bible, and I ain sure you did not derive it from the writings, lectures or preaching of the modern Abolitionists. Y'ou brought the belief with you from Virginia and the South. In former times, a great many people in the slavebolding States regarded negro slavery as a social, mental ami political evil — They were led to this belief principally from ab- stiact or theoretical rcosoning. founded on tlie as sumption that tlie negro was a being in every respect like themselves, except in the color of his skin. My father and a great many others fell into this error and emancipated their slaves. But ex experience proved not only in Virginia hut in oili er Slates that emancipation, so far from bettering the condition of the negroes, almost invariably mads it worse. But the evil did not stop at that. The black freemen became trespassers on the white freemen who had liberated them, and on the population generally. I bcice the Legisla tures of the States, where the 'blacks are numer ous. were compelled, in self detifice, to put a stop to the experiment of emancipation. It was clear ly foreseen that if tlie uegroes were liberated, the •white# would have to leave the .country or labor, not only ior the support of themselves, but for tlie black freemen likewise. It was also ascertained that they would have to increase tie number of prisons and penitentiaries, and incur the expense of a strong police furee. You leit the South be fore tlie experiment of emancipation had been fair ly tried, and proved a failure. Hence you carried with you the old ideas about slavery being an evil. Y’ou may remember something of tlie Guinea negroes that had been imported into Y T irginia. If y'ou do, you will renu-niber that in size, actions and grimaces, they resemble the ourang entang, almost as their descendants of the fourth and fifth gen. ration resemble them. A daguerreotype of old Guinea Tom, as 1 have frequently seen him in the days of my boyhood, with snakes in his bosom engaged in a species of heathen worship, called “conjuring,” if placed in contrast with a good likeness of bis grand children, two of whom were popular preachers, I am sure would be suffi cient of itself to show, that whatever evils may lie attached to negro slavery, it is fairly entitled to the merit of gr< atly improving the African race, physically, morally and mentally. If I could send you a daguerreotype of the third or fourth getieratian of negroes both in freedom, and left in neighborhoods to themselves, remote from the su pervisory care of the white man, you would see at once that they were rapidly retrograding to tlie original barbarism frern which slavery had rais< d their grandfathers. The minutes of your confer ence will prove, that up to the year 1810, the col ored cornu.-unicants in Philadelphia greatly exceed ed those of Charleston, When I last-examined the minutes, some few years ago 1 found more color ed communicants in the Charleston district than in ull the non-slaveholding Btates put together. I found also, on examining the statistics of the prisons and penitentiaries of tlie Northern-cities, that they have been gaining in the number of black criminals almost as fast as Abe church has been losing its colored communicants by negro freedom- If '-he Hebrew names, given to tlio children of Ham, could be rendered into English with all their original significance, every one would sue that they were not only black Lilt had tlie type of mind qualifying them for no other than a subordinate Condition in society, or in other words, that slavery is their normal condition, and tie y never can be civilized or Christianized in any other. The w hole suliject could he settl' d in a trice—the schisms in the churches healed, ar.tf our political union cemented, if dealt with ns you dealt with Gen. Jackson, boldly faced, and the truth, however unwelcome, forced upon the public as you forced the awful tenets of the church upon his attention; instead of mincing matters orsmoth- ering your Methodist doctrines, (when kindly pulled by the coat in the pulpit by a brother cler gyman and admonished in a whisper of t he pres ence of that renowned personage,) you cried out aloud his name—tie hero stood up b> fore you, arid you thundered in his face the awful words that “God would dantu his soul if lie did not get converted.” Many ofthe audience, knowing his impetuous temper, trembled for yuu, and one of the preachers, after church was over, called on him to ap<-logize, especially for some additional remarks you made that God would make as quick work damning him as he would a Guinea negro. Jackson waived the apologia r from his presence. Tlie arrow had taken effect—you had come squarely up to his standard of what a minister of the gospel ought to he—viz: to love everybody and to tear no mortal man. He naturally con cluded that Joye for him and every soul around was the moving spring of what might beregard- ed as iu'empeiate zeal, and he opened am heart to receive the word as you preached it. When he afterw ards met with you he took you cordially by the hand, and remarked that he only wanted a few thousand such indendent, tearless men to officer h's army to take old England. There is reason to believ. that as England and the war disappeared in the distance, heaven opened to his view, and the w.ird you had so fearlessly preach- •••1, prompt'd hi n to win the eternal bliss lie now I J*y ] elongii:orlv to ^leirts enjova.

A meric:* and Young Ai o rica ran do it in a short | use : to designate lime by the force ct example, without stri blow, if we only had a few thousand fearless, in dependent preachers to proclaim the truths reveal ed in the Bible iu regard to negroes, and confirm ed by experience aud observation, as that would prevent any danger to Christianity and republican institutions from the slavery question. The privi leged classes of Europe, who have stripped the great Masses of their fellow men, beings like them selves. of all ’die essential comforts of life, by tak ing advantage of their prejudices, and sowing dis sensions among them, are trying to play the same game upon the people of the United States that lias succeeded so well iu Europe and tlie East Indies : hence they are using the slavery question as an apple of discord—to divide tlie Union and eiieat the Y ankees out of their manufactures by pointing to the liag of liberty over tlie white man and the whip over the negro—caret oily conceal ing tlie important truth that the white and black races are essentially different—liberty being as injurious to the latter as it is beneficial to the former. No one knows better than tlie British aristocracy, British doctors of divinity, British statesmen and philosophers, that the negro is not a white man with a black skin, but a different be ing, differing in wants and mental information. They know the version of the Scripture called the Septuagiant, quoted by our .Savior a „d the Apostles, uses tlie Greek, Ethiopian, where Cush had some other Hebrew words, to designate the negro race, occur in our version, and conveying no meaning to the English reader. Y’et they know that if suits British policy to contend for the perfect equality ot the races and to brand every other doctrine as irrational and anti-Scriptural. Hence the whole current of English literature is filled with Abolition poison to tempt the young Republican giant, w ho is writing the mcne tckcl of king craft on the heavens, to drink aud die. 8AM’L A. CARTWRIGHT, M. D.. of New Orleans. From the New Y’ork Day Book. Tb«* Horror*, of '‘Slavery.” The Abolitionists are famous for bold ing up the horrors of “slavery” to the gaze of Northern people, and select some ex ceptionable cases of cruelty, or invent an outrageous falsehood to give a show of color to their fulminations. We have, however, a terrible case of cruelty to re port, a scene of such heart-rending destitu tion and misery iu Mississippi, that it ought to excite the commiseration of every benevolent person in this great city, where there is no vice, no starvation and no mis ery ! The extract from the letter which we give below aud which details the shocking and awful condition of affairs to which we refer, we have re ceived from an old and valuable friend of the Day Book in Kentucky, to whom jt was written by a fellow townsman, while on a visit to Mississippi. There can he no loubt of the truth of tins story, for we have the names of all the parties in our posses sion, and were we permitted to use them we should be very glad to announce them to the world. We may be permitted how ever, to go so far as to say that the spot where this sad state of affairs exits isabout (thirty miles below Vicksburg,on the Mjss- | issippi river. The following is the extract j referred to. *###•* ) My dear sir—You see, from the post mark of my letter that I am with your mu- i tual friends, Mr. and Mrs. , I forgot | whether you were ever here if not, it will be ‘well to describe the possessions of Mr. ( This house is in full view of the river (the ' Mississippi,) and a very handsome one of brick, stuccoed with white plaster, with an j upper and lower gallery, supported by forty or sixty large, square columns. The .yard has ten acres, full of live oaks, mag- inolias, cedars, pines, &e., and many rose 'bushes, loaded at this time, (Feb. 15,) with flowers. There are, literally, thou sands of birds, of ten varieties, amongst the trees iu the yard, so tame as to be approached; also, tame squirrels. The garden containing eight acres, filled with all kinds of fruits and vegetables. On the place are two villages of negro cottages accommodating over three hundred blacks all fat, well clothed and saucy. They have thousands of eggs, from large flocks of hens, geese and ducks. This winter they sell to a fellow slave, who owns a store and grocery, over one hundred dozen eggs a week. He packs them for the New Orleans market. Forty cows are milked daily, and the finest butter made. There are 700 sheep, 400 mules and hors es—all bred on the place. There lias been iOOdogs to be fed. Mr. told me that the negroes fed to the fowls over 1000 bushels of corn a year. The cribs were not locked. He makes from 17,000 to 20- 000 bushels a year. He has from 200 to 000 acres of Southern clover, all green the winter through, for his cows. He makes 1000 bales of cotton this year, worth S50,- 000. Three cotton aud one corn overseer 1 shepherd; three doctors, all graduates; one German hydropathist one Swiss horse, cow and sheep doctor a graduate ofBaden, one electic and botanic, and another, seven miles off, who is consulted in *il bad cases. Mr. ’s house accommodates thir ty visitors without crowding, and all are made to feel at home. He takes thirty- newspapers and nine or ten journals, med ical, scientific and literary, and all the new books as they come from the press.— Tlie negroes make free use of his fat hogs sheep &c., when they have a wedding or wish fresh meat, without consulting him. He has an Episcopal clergyman to preach. The government of liis negroes is peculiar; none of them are corrected unless as follows; one day in the week he has a jury of twelve negro men; he or an overseer presides as judge, and one of the negroesactsas Sheriff. Each case of mis demeanor is called and carefully examined into. The jury then decide what punish ment, if any- is to be inflieted, and the sheriff sees that the decision of the jury is executed.” We presume it will do no good, says the Day Book,, to invite the Abolition papers to copy the above plain, unvarnish ed story, floras pleasing as it may be to others, it will be absolutely painful to them. It would never do to allow that it were possible for such a scene to exist in the South. It would destroy more abo- lition arguments than they could rear iu a twelvemonth. Besides, some one might venture to suggest to them the contrast existing between a negro dying in this city of starvation and his body being devoured by rats, as our recent police reports show ed, and the condition of those on the South ern plantation described above. How to Prevent Colds—A bad colJ, like meas les, or mumps, or any oilier similar ailment, will run its course of about ten days, in spite of what may be done tor it unless remedial means are em ployed within forty-eight hours of its inception. Many a useful life may be spared, to be increas ingly useful, by cuuingacold offin the follow ing sa e but simple manner; On the first day of taking cold, there is a very unpleasant sensation of chilliness. The moment you observe this, go your room, and stay there. Keep it at such a temperature as will entirely prevent this chilly feeling even it it requires J 00 degrees of Fahren heit. In addition to this, put your feet in water half leg deep, as hot as you can bear it. adding hot water, from time to time for a quarter of an hour, xo that the water shall be hotter when you take to your feet out.tliun w hen you put them in. 'Then dry them thoroughly, and put on thick woollen stockings, even if it lie summer, for summer colds are more dangerous—and for twenty-four hours eat not an atom ot food, but drink as large ly as you desire of any kind of warm tea, and at the end of that time the cold will he entirely bro ken without any medicine whatever. Efficient as the above means are, not one in a thousand attends to them, led on as most men are, by the hope that a cold will pass away itself. Neverthe less, this article will now and then pass under the eye of a wise man, who does not chose to run the double risk of takiug physic and dying too.—Med ical Journal. Let those who are often afflicted with colds, min sters, students, consumptives generally, cut out llie above directions and preserve them; if faithfuliy followed, the will do you more good than all the pluemouaries, cold cordials, and other hurtful nos trums which now load your shelves. From the Boston Courier. Hoop Skirts. The term “Crinoline,” although proper- mannfeetured id, is now cotnemonly all classes and condi- tions of expensive female undergarments, of whatever material. In this country, the genuine article is not frequently met with; a cheaper substitute, in which hoops are made to give the desired amplitude of periphery, being better suited to the means of our fair community at large. These hoop skirts were first brought into favor in New York, through the enterprise of two young dry goods dealers of that city, who, some half dozen years ago, set their wits to work to take advantage of the growing de mand for crinoline. Many methods for sup ply ing this popular demand lias been advis ed—the original crinoline far too expensive to be indulged in by tbe many—but the substitutes invented and manufactured by those two dealers were the only ones that at all satisfied public want; even their first attempt was only partially successful, the article still being too dear for the mass of wearers, but in good time they hit upon the idea of the skeleton skirt, constructed of hoop which, although at first derided and plentifully abused, rolled itself rapid ly into universal favor, and its inventors and proprietors into a fortune. It is be lieved to be a fact, that the hoop skirts was made by the firm in question, then in Canal street, New York, about six years ago. Since that time, the hoop skirt, like all modem institutions, has undergone various changes and improvements, until it last the E rinciple of construction seems to have ecome finally established. The “crinoline’ of the present day is no crinoline, at all, but a number of steal hoops of different degrees of circumference, large near the hem of the skirt, and decreasing iu regular gradation as they approach the waist, which are held in place by strips of tape, forming the skeleton, or a somewhat more elegant style, are inserted in light muslin, scienti fically cut and fashioned into the true symmetrical form. Great difficulty was at first experienced—there are difficulties to be overcome in all inventions—in obtain ing proper material for the hoops them selves. Rattan proved to he clumsy, stiff and unmanageable; whalebone was found excellent in warm weather, but liable to suap short in winter; gutta perclia, which can be applied to almost any use, failed in this connection; brass wire coiled around cord was tried, but was too expensive; flat bands of brass had their turn, but did, not possess the necessary elasticity, and in convenienced the wearer, finally steel was looked upon as a dernier resort, but was thought entirely too costly. It was never theless used, at first by flattening round steel wire, which failed to give satisfaction, on account of its liability to break, except where it was so large as to be heavy and too expensive. The method at last adopted, and which is now in use, is this; - English sheet-steel, that come four and a half to eight feet long, in bands about eight inches wide, is cut into ribands by steam-driven shears.— 'These ribands are tempered and straight ened, and afterwards smoothed and pol ished by tbe following ingenious process. They are put into a long cylinder, with a quantity of old broken glass, and the cylin der set revolving for some hours. When opened it is found that the glass is all round into small cubes, and the rough dges ot the steel rounded and made smooth, Last of all the ribands are passed between large, heavy rollers, which set the temper and leave them so that they will always return to their place when bent. After these preparations they have only to he made ready for the skeleton pattern, by being covered with cotton thread braided over tlie steel. Some statistics of the extent of business of these two manufacturers before men tioned, and the amount of material used by their employees, connot fail to be of inter est. In tlie department where tbe skirts are wrought together and finished, (the steel work is a separate affair, and is car ried on Oonnecticut, where sixty hands are employed,) they give occupation to four hundred persons, nearly the whole of them American girls, one hundred and eighty of whom are at work upon sewing machines which, with the hand sewmg, use up every month two thousand dozen spools of cot ton thread. An average of three thousand skirts are manufactured every day; at prices varying from 50 cents to $G a piece, and comprising more than fifty patterns. The latest style is worth describing—it will be of profound interest to feminine, al though mysteriously incomprehensible to to masculine, readers. It is a skeleton made of thirteen and a half yards of inch- wide tape, and three yards of narrow tape and some strips of muslin, and tlireo and a half yards of corset lacing, with fifty-one metal clasps, slides tubes eyelets and hoops, and seven steel hoops measuring fifty-four feet in length, covered with braid; with three bustle hoops of whalebone, eight and a half feet long, cloth covered—tlie steel hoops being made to expand by slides, to suit the most expansive ideas; and yet the whole fabric weighs but twelve ounces and although it will keep its place, it can he folded up small enough to put in a carpet hag or band-box without injury. The reail price of this article is about $3. We have sta’cd that 3,000 skirts are made each day, on an average. This is equal to 75,000 a month or 900,000 a year. Of the materials used we will now give a few details. In the first place, there is the plain muslin. One Rhode Island cotton factory supplies, ef one particular kind of cloth, 2,000 pieces per month—say 80,000 yards. Of all other kinds, about 70,000 yards are used. Half a million yards cf tape are also used up every month; 225,000 yards of twenty strand jute cord; 10,000 yards of hair cloth; 2,000 dozen spools of cotton; 2,800,000 eyelets, slides claps, tubes, books, &c, Although steel Las been found to be the most suitable material for hoops, yet others have not been altogether put out of the question, because rattan and whalebone are not only still used to a large extent in cheap skirts for all the hoops, but they form a part of the material of nearly all of the steel hooped skirts. The manufacturers of whom wc have been speaking will use up in the course of the present year, two thousand two hundred miles of hoops. The consumption, in feet in a month, of the various materials is as follows; 700,000 feet ox steel riband, 200,000 feet of round rat tan, 100,000 feet of round oil boiled whale bone—a million feet—which give fertile year within a fraction of 2,207,1-2 miles of hoops.

The frames are heavy, of white oak, two feet between the centors and are strapped on the outside with stout iron braces 41 inches wide by | of an inch thick, fastened with iron bolts into every timber. The straps are run fore and aft, connecting with the dead wood at the stern post and bows of the vessel. The hull of the ship is covered with whte oak plank.

I reparing the Bed.—About tlie 10th of April make a frame largo enough to hold the quantity o 1 potatoes you wish to sprout but in no case not less than four and a half feet by five or six feet— as a less quantity of manure than such a frame will hold will not generate sufficient heat. In making tbe bed, proceed as directed in the February (15th number) of the Ohio Cultivator, except make your manure only fourteen inches thick, if your bed is large; if it is small, put iu a little more manure, say an inch or two. Then get some good loam that will not crust when watered, and put on over the whole bed not less than eight inches; he sure you have enough. This can ho prepared at any time in March, when the loam is sufficiently dry to be handled; indeed, it is better to do so, as it may be wet when you want to use it, and it is always a little better to look a little ahead. The loam may be tin own iu a pile, and covered with a few boards, near the place where it will be wanted. Sprouting tlie Potatoes.—Now fix a cover over your bed, of boards, with slope enough to let the ater run off readily, and let it stand about five days, or until the first rank heat passes off. Then on some pleasant day, before tho 20th of April, re move enough loam from the bed to leave five in ches, on which spread your potatoes, carefully lay ing them so as not to touch each other. The more room you give them, the more stocky will be the plants Take the loam you removed—which of course is warm—and cover the potatoes two and a half inches thick. Then in a warm day, when the sun shines, take off the cover of boards, being careful to replace them at night, or in cold weath er, or when it rains, unites the bed becomes dry and needs watering, when rain is the best water ing it can have. If you make your bed, put on the loam, and put in the potatoes, all in one day, or put them on, or cover them with cold loam, and if your potatoes all rot, don't blame the writer here of, orthe dealer of whom you purchased your seed, but charge it to your own folly. Forcing under glass.—If the plants are too back ward they can be forced by covering with glass and watering with water a little warmed. It is surprising what a difference such treatment will make in their growth. But in that case, as indeed with all othor plants raised under glass, they will need hardening by having the glass removed some ten or twelve days before setting out. For it would be folly to take a plant from under glass without any preparation, and set it in the cold ground and open air, and expect it to live, much less to grow. Field Management.—Select your ground for your sweet potato patch, and plow it as soon as you can in the spring, thus enabling the slight freezes to pulverize it for you. Then about tlie 15th or 20th of May, harrow or otherwise make the top fine, then plow it over again, and make fine as before. It is now ready to be marked out into rows, which we do with a shovel plow, about two-and-a-quarter feet apart each way, aud then make up the hills as peaked as they will stand, and about the size of a bushel basket itself receiving greater benefits that any other from the federal Union, has bitterly and contemp tuously warred against the interests and disturbed tho peace of the Republic, and at last delibertaely renouncing its obligations to the Federal compact question of serious consideration t she is a member of tho Federal d a ay longer to participate in its unmeasured blessings. And be this as it may, or whatever may be the final decision or ac tion of the people of the other States, it is certain that the Democratic party of Massachusetts have a duty to perform in regard to this matter, and moreover, an opportunity presented to revolution ize the publicrSentiment of that State, and to ac complish an amount of good rarely if ever before offered to a political or partizan organization.— Let them rise above the wretched squallings about Leeompton and Kansas—the office seekings and Custom House pickings of the day—and boldly grapple with the great issue tho anti-“slavery” traitors to the Union have offered them. Let- them appeal to the honesty if not patriotism of Massachusetts. Let them go frankly and fearless ly before the people of that State and ask them to perform the common duties of the Federal Union or decline to accept the common benefits of that Union— to fulfil their federal obligations, or, pro forma, withdraw from their federation, and this appeal to the conscience of the people ofthat State will doubtless prove effectual and to the utter de molition of the dishonest and traitorous gang now in possession of the government of that State. On the contrary, if they flinch from this duty, and while admitting all the stupid and lying abstrac tions of Abolitionism to be true, busy themseJvs in discussing “popular sovereignty,” in picking up crumbs that fall from the federal table and in con cocting schemes for “saving the Union,” they will deserve to remain in the common category of anti-“slavery” treason, and, like Lot’s wife, an eternal monument of the sin and shame of Massa chusetts.—N. F. Day Booh. Why Do Men Register Money Letters? On this subject “an old Postmaster” gives his opinion to the Augusta Constitutionalist of yester day and says: The experience of more than twenty years in the post office has, as I think, enabled me to form pret ty correct opinions on all matters relative to post office business, and after seeing the operations of the system of registering letters and taking every view of it in all its phases, I am fully satisfied that there is no earthly use lor such a system, unless, indeed, a man wishes to pay a premium of five cents fora greater exposure. If a man wants to have any evidence that ho has mailed money, he can take such a certificate from any friend that he may call on. Many sensible men; giving or ders to have nfoney sent to them by mail, say, “Do not have it registered,” and I always doubt tho good judgement of any person that asks to have a letter registered. 1 have thought of the system of post office money orders ever, since the subject has been agitated in the papers, and can see no good reasons why such a system, properly framed, might not work well: but it would involve more labor and responsibility on postmasters, for which they should be well paid. And I will take the liberty to sug gest such a plan as I have framed in my mind, in order that other minds may improve it or offer a better. First. Postmaster should bo furnished by the General Post Office Department with blank money orders, blank books to keep a debtor and credit account of ail moneys paid in for orders, and paid out on orders, as well as other blank that might be required Persons wishing money ordered should be required to pay about ten per cent., or such other per cent, as Congress might judge proper. One per cent, to the 1‘ost office Depart ment, to pay for all the blanks and other actual expenses, about four per cent, to the postmaster receiving tlie money and giving the order, and about four per cent, to the postmaster paying the order off. The postmaster giving the order should mark it with his dating stamp, and immediately notify the postmaster on whom it was drawn that such an order had been given. Such orders should be numbered and entered on the general account of orders to the debit of the postmaster grantiug it, and in bis quarterly returns bo should state °the amount of money received for orders, including xommission, and how much he had paid out for post office money orders. In giving orders the fees of the paying postmaster should he included; for in stance suppose a person should wish to send money to New Y’ork for a club of papers, say twenty dol lars, he should pay the postmaster, say twenty-one dollars and eighty cents, eighty cents which would be retained by the postmaster as his fees, and eighty cents to the postmaster at New Y’ft'rk for his fees, so he would give the order for twenty dollars and eighty cents, and return twenty cents to the Post office Department in my quarterly returns with the twenty dollars. This plan is upon the supposition that money orders would be restricted to small amounts, and the postmasters would always have post office fends on hand sufficient to pay all others that might be drawu upon him. If orders include large amounts, there would have to be provisions made for transfering fund from one placo to anoth er. • I submit these views for what they are worth. As Oi.d Postmaster. [From the Charlottsville “Exponent.”] Hon. Caleb Cushing. In the dreary waste of Massachusetts politics there is at least one bright spot. The Legislature In very sandy land they might be i instructed the Governor to remove Judge Loring, a little larger, but large flat hills soon become hard, | because judicial firmness, he executed the law. and sweet potatoes require loose hills, so that they The Governor obeyed, and communicnted the fact can burst them, and thus hive room to grow to large size. Planting Out — The next thing is to set out the plants, for which we prefer tbe evening, say after five o’lock. Take the largest plants, and set them in the tops of the hills, one iu each bill, so a3 to leave a small hollow around the plant, that will hold about a pint of water, and water immediately, if it is not raining. Never wait for rain. In fact, we have seldom got a good set, without watering, which is but little trouble, when care is used in se lecting a patch where water can be readily obtain ed. In setting, be careful not to cover the heart of the plant—it should strick out of the top of the hill about three inches. In case a cut-worm cuts any of yours plants off, pall them out, and put in oth ers', for they are worthless after the heart is gone, only producing string or small potatoes. For After Culture.—Keep the weeds down, by going through them both ways with the shovel plow, and scraping the hills down with hoes, still the vines begin to cover the ground, when they arp ready for their final dressing up Turn the vines out, and go through them both ways with the shovel plow, thus killing all thesinall Weeds between the rows, aud giving plenty of fresh dirt to hill up with. Hill them as high as you can without covering the heart or place where the vines sprout out from, and make the bottom of the hills as small as they will stand. Spread the vines evenly over the lulls, aud the work is done till digging tliim, with the exception of keeping down such weeds as may appear.

The removal of Judge Loring is no mere attack on the independence of the judiciary or act of partizan malignity, it is a deliberate, decided and distinct disavowal of the obligations assumed by Massachusetts when that State cmered the Union and became a portion of the Confederacy. It was essential to tho peace, order and general safety of some of the .States that negro “slaves’’ or “per sons held to labor” should, if escaping from them, be given up to their masters, and with this under standing a clause was inserted in tne Federal com pact so distinct, precise aud mandatory in terms, that there should be no room for dispute or doub: in regard to the matter. With this understanding and accepting these conditions, Massachusetts be came a portion of the Federal Union, the benefits of which she has enjoyed, we are justified in say ing, to a larger extent than any other State or com munity in the confederacy'. For many years that State was indulged with special privileges in respect to commerce and nav igation; and at this moment, through a nominal revenue tariff, her capital is favored at the expense of the great body of the people of other States, while she is also benefitted to a considerable ex tent by tho absurd and unjust fishing bounties granted by Congress. Meanwhile, she lias done nothing whatever for the support or for the gene ral good of the Union. On the contrary, she has as a State, opposed every war waged by the Fede ration—that of 1812, the Florida, Mexican, even the Black Hawk war—and taken sides with the public enemy, with more or less openness, on every occasion where the interest, honor or safety of tho Republic was at stake. She opposed the purchase of Louisiana, the annexation of Texas, the conquest of California—indeed, invariably aud without exception, has arrayed herself against every extension of the national boundaries and every increase of the national power, and strug gl'd with a malignity only equalledjby its impo tence mid absurdity against every step of the na tional progress! Even as regards taxation, the mere pecuniary support of the general government, the low dollar and cent standard of patriorism, she has fallen be hind every other State in the Union relatively with the amount' of her population behind even Y’ermont, the humble and obsequious imitator of her follies. And with this black and damning re cord against her, she now fills the measure ot her infamy and openly repudiates the fundamental ob ligations of the federal compact—the sacred and solemn pledges made by her agents when she en tered the Union aud became a portion of tho con federacy. By the open, deliberate aud distinct ro- nunciation of ter duties to the federal Union, through alltheform3 of law by both branches of the Legislature and her Executive, she has as ab solutely and as solemnly placed herself out of the Union as it is possible fora State to perforin an act of that kind or by its own individual action con- sumate such a purpose. The people of the other States, the great, gener- erous hearted and patriotic masses of the Republic have been patient, gentle aud forbearing of these faults and follies of a sister State, which, while of the removal to tlie Legislature. It was received by them with an outburst of applause. But there was even there one patriot. One man bold euough to declare his honest convictions, and pure enough to be carried by those convictions to a sound position. One man who stood up and stood alone to denounce the infamous act in the face of those who even then were exulting over their success. This man wa-< Caleb Cushing. Mr. Cushing has held a high position in the Dem ocratic party. He was a member of Mr. Pierce’s Cabinet and has addorned many’ other high posi tions. He gains no additional honor by being a member of the Massachusetts Legislature. But that body is indebted tobim that it exhibits in this instance a single evidence of either honesty or dignity. Mr. Cushing is one of a body of men in the north who are true to themselves and to ns.— The South may well mark these heroes, and if we can express our gratitude in no other way, we may he allowed to tender them, as wo do in this instance, the homage of our sincere admiration. Editorial Experience.—Tho following paragraph “ To Correspondents,’’ which appeared in the. South ern Christian Advocate, has a wider application than to the correspondents of the Advocate. The Charleston Courier, in re-publishing it, says: “Our brother of the Advocate has his daily troubles and annoyances even with a week paper—a week ly journal, as we suppose we may say, notwith standing tho etymoligical absurdity of the phrase. In his last issue he gives a Lint which we are will ing to extend to any correspondents that are in need of such admonitions: “ To Correspondents.—We havo some articles on hand that contain very just and proper views, that we would willingly publish but that the la bor of editing them is too great. When a writer expects us to spell and punctuate his article, it must have great merit, and we he short of ‘copy’— which is not the case now—if it sees the light. The brother who writes : ‘lain not in the habit of wrightingfor the Advocate, theart'oure I feel some what embarist to wrieht, but tieverthe less oner a few thought to our bretheren’—will please excuse us, for not filing up’ his article. It will cost too much labor.” The Utah Expedition.—The Washington Union states that Gen. Persifer Smith has been ordered to Utah as well ns General llarney, and that the chief command will devolve upon General Smith. General S. is one of the most accomplished and popular officers in the service—a soldier by choice and education, of great experience as an officer, and endowed withal with a high and acknowl edged military genius. The Southern-Georgia Watchman.— The press of the Thomasville Watchman lias been removed to Troupville, and the paper has re-appeared under the above title. We congratulate the people of Lowndes in having a paper published in their midst, and wish our friends, tho Messrs. DeLyou every happiness and success in their new home. Mr. Harris of Illinois.—This gentleman it ap pears is dangerously ill at Washington, and will not bo able to participate in the debate in tbe House, if there should be any debate, on the Kan sas Leeompton bill. It is said, however, that liis vote will not bo lost, for although ho is confined to his room at the residence of Senator Douglas he will yet be carried to the House forthat purpose. He risks, we apprehend, much in a bad cause, but that is bis business not ours. His disease is con sumption.— The Atlanta Intelligencer. Singular Affdir.—The Trieste Gazette related the following singular story: One of tho nobleat families of Verona, has just learned that it lias been the victim of an audacious fraud. The heir to the property having many years ago been put out to nurse, fell and broke liis arm. Soon after tlie mother arrived to visit her infant. The nurse, afraid of revealing the truth, presented her own child instead of the little sufferer. The fraud succeeded, and tlie nurse allowed it to continue. Tho young peasant accordingly received the education of a noble, and the nobleman, brought up to follow the plough. It was but a few days ago that the nurse, on her death-bed, confessed her crime. The peasant, her son, is now married to a no ble lady and it is not known how the in terests engaged in the matter can be con ciliated. la Anti-Revivalist. Rev. Mr Conway, who is well known in this city, is one of the very few, either, clergymen or laymen, w ho Lave come out m opposition to the present religious revival. We find tlfb following remarks on a discourse delivered by him iu Cincin- nutti cn Suns; v fast in tin Daily Times of that city, aud copy it for the benefit of Mr. Conway's old acquaintances here. No additional comments are necessary:—Union. “It is in the regular line of tlie history wo have undertaken of this religious revival to state that Mr. Conway, at the Unitarian Church yesterday, preached a discourse in condemnation of it, and advising his people against its influence. It was a common-place and puerile discourse on the whole, but sufficiently set forth the preacher's views in regard to the whole movement. His text was the beautiful story of Elijah in the cave, and the ‘still small voice’ of God. But he was particularly unfortunate in liis application of it. . “Some of the remarks of the preacher were in exceeding bad taste, to say the least of them, and we cannot think they will havo much affect in restraining the disposition of Christains to pray and assemble themselves together. Among theso were his allusions to ‘saintly revivalists,’ aud ‘sweet-spirited saints' of the Boston meetings, who prayed for Theodore, Barker, ‘the Christian strength, reason, and light’ of whom be considered as far superior to those who wanted to pray for him. He made his audience laugh by giving two or thre e instances of prayers said to have boeu ut tered in RostOD, whose character no one could commend, aud which, if true, are entirely ex ceptional;‘and such,’ ho exclaimed, are, revivial prayers.’ He said, however, th .t the Lord did not seem to be under conviction’ on account of these prayers, as Barker had a larger audience the next Sunday than ever. We think Christianity, in any of its exercises or forms, has nothing to apprehend from one who flippantly talks as Mr. Conway did yesterday, speaking of the prayer meetings, of‘sluices of cant,’ old, decayed body of empty phrases,’ monstrous hy-dra-hcad of modern re igion,’ ‘hypocrites who love to be seen of men,’ ‘lip service,’ Beecher aud Choever, the Boanerges of the pulpit.’ etc. This is mere slang, and utterly unworthy the day, the place, or the men. and certainly not worth attention. The cause of the revival, he thought, was well expressed by a man who said that the merchants had lost their character during the late financial difficulties, and this was one way they sought to cover it. Besides, busi ness, was dull, and the praying would probably last until it revived. [A laugh.] “Men wanted to make an a tenement for their shortcomings by making long prayers. But Mr. C. thought an age of praying was not an age of action or enorgy. As tor converts, they were only converted to the old worn-out dogmas of the Coun cil of Trent and the West-minister Assemblies; they only made new churches, and ‘we don’t want any more churches’ which only tend to degrade aud dethrone reason and keep out the light. These men, said Mr. C., compass sea and laud to make one proselyte, and, when mads, he becomes three fold more the child of hell than themselves. Barker was lauded, a rationalistic religion commended, and the Beople were cautioned against too much disgust at tho revival movement. But the only important thing about the sermon was that the preacher defined his true position. He said he was once converted, ‘as they call it.’ under the minis tration of the Methodists, but he had progressed out of all that, aud now every vestige of tho faith ho then received had crumbled away.” From the Wire Grass lieportor.

Sickness of mind is the natural conse quence of bodily disease; for how can we expect the brain to remain in a sound and healthy state of organization, whilst the other portions of the human machinery are out of order. As a people, we are too apt to forget this great law of Nature, a law which is founded iu truth, and is more im mutable than those enacted by the Medes aud Bcr- siaus of any age or state of society. Let us be wise in time, and at the commencement of another season, which, with gay smiles, beckons us forth to recreation 'neath her sunny skies, determine to participate in those manly sports and pastimes, which give vigor to the frame, ruddiness to the cheek, and brightness to the eye ; let us emulate our English cousins, and get ready our fishing- rods, our guns, our cricket-bats and balls, our base ball fixins, and learn the noble art of horseman ship, that we may be able to vault like mars into the saddle and fly across the country with the pood of the wind. As a nation, we are better drivers than any other in the world, but as riJers we are inferior to them all; owing to the fact, that, with hut few exceptions, we prefer the wag on to the saddle. True, it is right pleasant to dash along tho road at a spanking two-forty gait, but tor health aud wild exhileratiuu of spirits, com mend us to the saddle; seated in which, as master of the gallant animal we bestride, we control his every action with gentle grace, and share with him the noble emulation he is eager to display. 1 ley, then, for the fields open air, for the merry spring-time has coine!—Porter's Spirit.
