State Road- 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 ble of adornment; n pleasant resort for the living, n secure nnd beautiful resting placo for the dead. 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 ions for their subsistence nnd comfort f How mnny of their wretched nml starved cattle We won. tion with tho Secretary brought the mystery to light.

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 ville, Railroad wns located nlong its borders, hnd.been sold for $20,000.

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 Stcnmboat Company, which had engaged to lake (lie Colton, tho Mutual Insurance Com pithy that insured it to Savannah, and the owners cf the Cotton, ns to who shall stand tlie loss.— Constitutionalist August a Canal.— it will duubtles he satisfactory to mnny of our renders to know the quantity of cotton that passes through tliOjcanal to our city : From February to Sept., 1S3S, To Septcmhor, 1849, To Seplemdcr, 1850 To January, 1851 der their ghosts—for they have no flesh nnd blood—do not haunt them night and day. Now is the timo to cast into the earth something that will give your stock n plenti ful supply offorngo in coining days nnd years.

If unmolested by stock, you will he able to gather in October n plen tiful supply of crab-grass hay from your w’ueut mid oat stubble fields, which your cows nnd colts will devour next winter with thankful hearts, particularly if under a good sholler.

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.

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.
