It lias long been & subject of complaint,
nnd will soon be one of reproach, that Rome
hns no suitnblo burinl-plnce. The present
depository of the dead, we learn, is entirely
filled, and without any enclosure, it is liable
to tho depredations of stock, nnd is in ither
respects undesirable ns n permanent public
cemetery. Would it not he well for those
interested—nnd all should feel interested—
before Rome nnd its vicinity becomes more
densely populated, to see to it that some suit
able place lie secure for this sacred purpose.
It should he convenient and ample, suscepti

We have some wealthy citizens in our
midst who might Iny tho whole community
under lasting nml grateful obligations by ap
propriating a portion of tlicir surplus land
to this hallowed object, and thus leave be
hind thorn an enduring memorial of their
munificence.
An Appeal.
Whilst our agricultural friends aro shar
pening their hoes nnd ploughs, preparatory to
an assault upon mother earth, we desire
them to remember, thnt “ u merciful man is
merciful to his boust.” When cotton is high
there is great danger of overcropitig, nnd of
course, over-working ninn nnd beast. l l’his
is not only had ethics, but had economy.—
The soil is impoverished by it, the laborer is
dispirited, horses nnd mules feel the shock,
nnd derangement and discontent, and prema
ture doeny arc every where visible. No one
can travel through middle Georgia and ob
serve the worn out lands, dilapidated dwel
lings, nnd outbuildings nnd fences, nnd the
absence of comfortnhle barns and shelters for
stock, without emotions of sadness nnd re
gret. Nor is upper Georgia likely to do much
bottor, unless cotton falls to 5 or G cents per
pound. With fresh nnd fertile soil, with ev
ery facility for rendering innn nnd beast com
fortable, both nro actually in want of n lull
supply of the necessaries of life. How ma
ny of our farmers have shelters for their cat
tle, or comfortable stnlls for their horses ?
How many of them make ndequnto provis

WWat Railroads do ;for Land.—The
Wheeling Times says, that land-nlong the
line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, in
Virginia, hns increased, in the average 300
per cent, and the amount of land now being
prepared for cultivation is gventer than ever
cultivated before. A farm in West Zanes

Rise in our'River!—The rains of last
week caused n great nml sudden rise in our
river. On Saturday night the water rose
thirteen feet in a few hours Thore were
about six hundred bales of Cotton deposited
on the upper wharves for shipment, which
wore in great danger of being floated oil.—
But timely alarm wns given at an enrly hour
in the morning, nnd n large number of drays
wore promptly on the spot, nnd the Colton
was removed to the river bunk just below the
' bri Ige, nnd occupied the blull' for several
hundred yards. Yosterday that portion of
our city presented quite a busy appearance,
nnd seemed like a miniature specimen of the
New-Orlenns Levee.
Some little damage wns done to the Cot
ton, nnd one bale was lust. An interesting
question has arisen between tho Union

tho office which he was seeking. Mr. Stu

the aspirant had only to insert his own, mid

presented himself, credentials in hard, to

From Billy Bowlegs-
The Florida Sentinel, of the lltli inst,
says : “A letter from South Florida speaks
of a late interview between Cnpt. Casey, Mie
U.S. Indian Agent, and Mr. “William Bow
legs,” as ho signs himself. Cnpt. Casey set
forth to Bolegs the recent uction ot the Flor
ida Legislature for tho removal of llio In
dians, and told him that mnv was his last
chance for a peaceable arrangement. That
the U. S. authorities were his friends, and
would not only see him comfortable removed
and provided for afterwards, hut would pny
him well forgoing. Hut if lie delayed, the
Governor of Florida and his riflemen nml
long knives would be down upon him nnd
drive the whole tribe into the ocean. Uputi
this, Billy scratched his head nnd thought
fully inquired if the United Stales Govern
ment was really his friend mill wished him
well r Cnpt. Casey replied that there could
he no manner of doubt about it.
“Well, then, says Billy, if you me my
friends, just you stand still, and “ me whip
tho Governor of Florida and his long knives,
d—n quick ;” mid in short, gift e Casey to
understand that he di.l not value the sov-
reignity of Florida so much as “the shak
ing i.f a squirrel’s tail. This is truly murli-
fying. Billy evidently had not read tho re
port of the majority committee on Federal
Relations.”
Col. Edward Stiff—We regret to learn
that this unhappy individual has boon sen
tenced to six years imprisonment in the chain
gang in Cuba, for the imprudent carrying of
arms in the streets of Havannah, anil being
intoxicated.
Col. Stiff has been deranged to a greater
or less extent, for many years, mid w o hope
thnt our government will tnkesuch measutes
as will induce his release. He has truly
been a man of misfortune through life, nnd
it wero n pity thnt his derangement should
bo mnde the cause of his condcmntion to nil
ignominous servitude among criminals for so
long a period-
Extraorinaii.y Fkiitilitv.— Wheat.—
Bishop Ilolldn v, residing in Utah Tur.ritory
on South Cottonwood Creek, nboul ten
miles south of the G i eat Salt Lake City,'
raised, from one bushel sowing, ono dtuii-
drod .and eighty bushels of ilm choicest
and cb;aneBt wheat, measured up, and it
weighed plump sixty pounds to the bushel.
This bushel wns sowed in drills upon three
or four acres ot ground, tunl seasonably
irrigated. This same gentleman informed
us llmt his wheat wns better this last sea

tention during the season of irrigation; and
connected with this operation,tlteroare ma
ny little tilings to bo observed, or you will

them all Irom the experience of those who
were there before him. No country that
we ever saw enn equnl it for vines, nnd
vegetables of all kinds. Melons in great

Extraordinary Surc.icai. Operation.—
We learn, says tho Boston Journal, that Dr.
YVnrrcn, of this city, recently took from tho
stomach of mi Irish girl, nt the Mnrssachu-
sotts gonornl hospital, hy means of an inci
sion, n tape worm forty-one feel and eleven
inches in length. Tho operation wns per
formed while the suflerer was under the ti»-
llconce of other. -She observed on coming
to her souses, “Oh ! I hnvo had n pleasant
dream, uud feel relieved.” The tTfluud was
dressed with great enre, and slid hns scarce
ly complained of pain from the opernli-in.—
I his, we uio told, is the only caso on recoid
where the tupo worm hns been literally cut
from tho lionum stomach.
