DliPERSlON OF THE MEMBERS OP COLORED Churches.—The Baptist colored Church nt Buflulo has suffered e large dim tuition of its members in consequence., .of.'the Fugitive Slave Law. One' liutidred Malhirty of the coinnjttnjcttnls, ns,,we ?i-o tffljSftned’by the pastor,, left the’" place front «at* of" arrest on the charge of being fugitive slaves, and have passed over to Canada. The Methodist Church, in thosnme place, has also lost a considerable number of its members, from the same cause, There is said to be among tlie-e inure disposition to make a stand and to evade or resist the law ■*han nmong their Baptist brethren. Some •ody had advised them to nrni themselves and defend their liberty. The - nbtisl pnsl- or, Itotvover. told tiis people that he lound iu this Gospel examples which justified run ning away, but no oxamplcs which warrant ed lighting. The Colored Baptist Church nt Rochester, which formerly numbered one hundred and (ourteen communicants, has iost them all ex cept two, since the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law. The pastor, a native Kentucki an, was the first to flee, and the whole (lock followed him. The Colored Baptist Church at Detroit Inis lost eighty-four ol the i’s members from the same cause. They aban don their homes and their occupations, sell such properly as they cannot conveniently carry with them, and seek refuge in Canada Meantime the number of porsuns escaping from ll.cir masters does not seem to be t*s- lenlially lessened hy the provisions ot the Fugitive Slave Law. Since it was passed, we are informed from the same source which furnish os us with the particulars already giv- •n, eighty-seven fugitive slaves from the ikiuthhuve passed .through Bullulo, on tlio'.r way to Canada.-—£Ve Post. Kebc him Dows.—Ay, keep him down, w hat business has a poor ninii to attempt to rise, without a name—without friends— without honorable blood' ill bis Veins? We have known hint ever since f.p'wns n boy— w.c knew his father before hiiu uud lie was but a mechanic—and wlial merits cun there be in the young stripling? Such is the cry of the world, wlienn man ol'sterling char ocler attempts to break away from the cords of poverty mid. ignorance and rise ut a posi tion of truth and honor. Tnemultitude mo excited by envy—they cannot endure id be outstripped by those who grew up with them or thAir rhildicn side by side, nnd lienee the opposition o man encounters m his native place. Despite ot this feeling many noble minds have risen from obscurity nnd lived down their opponents; but others have yield ed to discouragement—lived in obscurity, and “died and made no sign.’’ Let it not be thus with you, young man. Persevere — mount up and startle the world. The New York Herald, of Wednesday morning contains the following further par ticulars of the Wall street panic:— “It was announced in Wall street this af ternoon that four banks had suspended, os follows:—Hamilton Exchange Bank, Hollis fer Bank, Henry Keep’s Bank and Lewis County Bank. The circulating notes of the three first hnmed banks are secured by good New York nnd United Slntos stocks. The Lewis County Bank is one of the old Safety fund institutions, it lias suspended se"erul times beforo, nnd the probability is that it has broken down this time finally. This will add to the excitement caused by the tailuro of Austens and Spicer, and F. Hollis ter and Co. of the Empire City Mills, and it would not surprise us if one of our old fash ioned panics seised upon the public mind, nnd ruinous losses were realised by u rapid de preciation in prices for stocks not po-sessing intrinsic vnlue. Wo must wuit nno see what another day will bring forth This has been one of greater excitement than has been known for years.” New Railway Shinal.—A trial was recently mndo in England, on the Culi-ilo- man Hnilwny, of a new signal enabling passengers and guides in n train |7. ciimniunicnte with the engine-driver. The inenchnnism of thr signal and modes ol uperJiing are thus described ;—Over it scries ol pulleys, centered in pillars to the engine steam whistle, nnd extended to the guard's sent nt the end ol thu train, while brunch wires ooimnmiiemfid with each ol the 'passenger*' eninparimemV. The in ventor took his position nt the guard’s seiit and several scientific gentlemen occupied the eompnrtmeiils. The result WHS most satisfactory—the couneel urns most com plete.

Feb 20, 1851. THE PUBLISHER. A STATEMENT. An article nppeured in the “Courier” of the 20lh ult. which was misapprehended in its import, and thus construed into an oflence. This misconstruction led to a publication in the Southerner over the signature of “ A Voice from the Wulers,” offensive in Ion guage nnd allusion. To this lost article i rejoinder appeared similar in word and im port. Misapprehension being the ground work of this little controversy, it is hereby dismissed; everything oflensive on either side being withdrawn. - Tiir First'Prints!)

Two oil jnglanJ, one-being in th i is in the Itiiynj iirtccii rhyming Cherokee Georgia- The vast influx of valuable population that is every where perceptible in this interesting and fertile portion of the Union, shows tlml it is beginning to 1)0 appreciated. Some tlree years since, in a conversation with the Hon. Alexander H. Stephens,we were not a little surprised to hear him say, fin reply to the question—“ wlial lie thought of Cherokee, Georgia 1") “ that he believed it to be the best countiy in the world;” mid lidded, “that in fifty years, good land would sell for fifty dollars per acre.” A more enteful observa tion, and u more thorough personal investiga tion of its ngriculluru! and mineral wealth, and its mnmifucturing and commercial facili ties, induces ns to believe that the opinion of this distinguished gentleman is not extrava gant, nnd that his prophecy will he fulfilled before the present generation shall have pas sed away. Indeed, good lands, convenient to market, are rapidly approaching his valu ation, mid under a proper, and judicious sys tem of culture wilt coutinue lu appreciate Good binds in the northern mid older wes tern States bring from one to two hundred dollars per acre when convenient to market. Nor is this price at all exlrnvngnnt if we con sider the value of their products. The nor thern farmer is able to pay two hundred dol lars per nere for his lands, hire his laborers, and yet realise a handsome interest upon his investment. How is this ? Certainly not be cause he has naturally a better soil or cli mate, but because he Ims a better market. For every bushel uf gram, every barrel of apples and potatoes, every pound ot hoy and meat, butter nnd cheese, ho has a home nnd foreign demand. The man who makes his broadcloth, shoes, hats, &c., must have meat nnd bread; and if a surplus then remains, it finds ready sale in Southern and European markets. This is the reason why lands with in four miles of Pittsburg sell for five hund red dollars per acre, whilst those equally good and in n better climate, four miles from Rome, bring only twenty-five dollars per acre. By diverting a portion of our capital from agricultural and investing it in manufacturing pursuits, we should soon witness a more lie illhful apd prosperous slate of things in every department of business. We can grow wool as well as the North, why not manu facture it, ns w ell as the cotton which will not grow there ? We havo inexhaustible mines of iron, lead and other ores, why not manufacture them ourselves ? Why go to the North for our lines,plows., axes, scythes hats, shoes, and a thousand other things which we can jast as cheaply and better mako ourselves ? We hnve the raw materials nt our door in greit profusion; why longer be tributary to those who use and then abuse us ? If the surplus capital of our planters had .been invested in manufacturing instead of be ing expended in the purchasoof negroes,cotton and every other product ofsouthern soil would have paid remunerating prices ; lands would not have been prematurely exhausted* and deserted, and the spirit of improvement would lies of various kinds be scattered through Cherokee Georgia, nnd we shall soon, realise u condition of independence and prosperity, of physical,' moral and .intellectual improve-, ment'unsurpassed in this or any other coun try! ' We hitve only to move forward boldly., nnd the results will be must glorious. Who will lead the woy ? Onuses. The value of grass culture is not yet pro perly known or appreciated at the South.— The Yankee funner will pay two hundred dollurs per acre for gross lands, one hundred miles from New York, nmke his hoy, send it to Charleston, Savannah, Mobile mid New Orleans, nnd yet realise n handsome profit on the investment. Whilst the Southern far mer gets his lunds for ten and twenty dollars per acre, and has no hay to sell to his neigh- bors-and often none to give to his own fam ishing stuck. And yet most parts of the South are ns well adapted to the growth of ninny of tho grasses as the North. Nearly all the lands in Cherokee, Georgia, produce them finely. Who that has visited Dr. Titos. Hamilton of Cass, has not admired his mag nificent meadows of timothy, red-top and clover ? also his pastures of blue grass ? As fine clover nnd herds-grass may be grown in Gcorgin ns any where else. A worthy neigh* bor of ours Inst year from a small patch, rais ed smnesixty or seventy dollars,worth besides a supply for his own use. We thinkthe field could not have contained more than four or five acres. j We do not know the amount ex pended by Savannah annually for northern hay, but it is considerable. Is it not a re proach to the State, that we don’t raise our own hay, butler,cheese, &c. We can do it. Now is the time to commence. Sow down your clover nnd herds-grass; keep your stock off the first year, and you will not regret the expense or labor. Take tome good agricul tural paper, (the Southern Cultivator is the best we have seen,,) also the “ Courier,” mid go to work nnd do something for your country, for the young nnd rising generation of bipeds and quadrupeds. The Provision Crop. Under this caption will be found on our first page, a very judicious and well-timed article from the Macon Messenger, which is especially commended to the consideration of our' agricultural friends. We alluded in our last to tho small crop of wheats that is likely *o be raised in Cherokee Georgia, this year; and ns seed oats have been unusually senree and high, we believe there wilt be a deficien cy in this important crop also. Unless there fore, our planters will stop bedding up for cotton, n scarcity of provisions may he look ed for In this region, another year; for even Murray, Walker and Dade counties have caught the cotton fever. We cannot close this article without expressing our hearty concurrence with the Messenger upon this and kindred subjects, mid hope his sage coun sels may he heeded. be proper for us to ray i But wo would respectfully suggest that the different liars headed by Governor Towns, engage in a thorough search and renonnoi- tsnccl;and apply an Immediate corrective. The Soil op the South.—The last mail brought us the 1st No. of a new agricultural journal bearing the above title. It is pub lished monthly in Columbus, Ga., by W. H. Chambers, Esq., and is edited by Charles A. Peabody, Esq nnd Col. J. M. Cham bers.
