The undersigned would respectfully in

13. IV. Warner, how nl the Ninth, a Bru mi
Maker by trnclo, bus given me the n i st pos
itive prmn't.-e, in u loiter dated 2Uih of Feh-
ruary last, that be will lenvo lnr tlio South
about tlie lfrtli iast., for the purpose of cs-
taldisbing a Broom Factory in this county;
and be most earnestly requests that the
planters ul'Clreon county should raise Broom
Corn for him. Mr. Warner wishes to ciirry
on a largo nnstness, !■<,< I,on- e*„ I.- d., it un
less you aid him hy raising the liroojfi Corn;
Tho quantity of Broom hrusli that can be
raised per acre vnrys from 500 to 1,000
pounds; but pulling it lit the lowest figure,
one acre will bring in the handsome sum ol
$10, a much better business than raising
Cotton,
“ Broamscdgc,” a writer well know n to
the readers of the Soot born Cultivator, who
gnvon quotation from Dr. Lee, found in tbe
January No. vob Oth, pugo 7, speaking of
farming in the valley of Connecticut, says: —
“Think of the Brush of Broom Corn being
worth $50 to $80 per acre, at 5 cents a
pound, and the seed worth, lor feeding pur
poses, nearly as much ns good oats.”
“How many hundreds of thousands of
■dollars are annually paid by tho Southern
people to northern fanners for Brooms to
awcep our bou-cs with? Ther e things could
be easily produced bore, giving employment
to many of the poorer classes, nnd a check
to tho over-production of Cotton.” 1 will
iust here inform mv brother “Broomsedge”
that I have been for tho last two yours Ivorlc-
ipg hard to bring about this very thing, nnd
atn glad that he Ins eomo to my aid. But 1
have done Fomclhing more than write on the
subject, I have now on hand 2,000 pounds
of Broom Brush, ready for tho manufacturer.
lf “Broomsedge or any other person wants
Broom Corn seed, I can supply them.
Mr. Warner will give n model machine for
clenniug broom com to any citizen of the
county who may apply to him nnd w ill givcnll
the neeorsury information in respect tho cul
ture nnd management of Itrnom Corn. On
thourrivnl of Mr. Warner due notice w ill he
given.
From the 15th of April to the first of May
is the best time to plant tbe seed, in rows
three feet apart tbe eighteen inches in the
drill, and from three to six stalks in a bill ac
cording to the strengm of the land. It is the
wish of Mr. Warner to establish Ins fnclorj
in Gre'estiboro, if he can get n situation them,
.and thu fanners wi I rui e tho raw material
■tor him. As I havo bail some experience in
the planting of the above crop I would take
•groat pleasure in giving such information to
the citizens of Green county ns I am in pos
session of. I hope to see a fine specimen ol
Brooms mado in this county exhibited at the
Stuto Fair, next sutmnor and especially al
our Fair, in Greensboro.

TrocUmatioa of the Preti ent-
We find in the Washington papers o! Sat
urday the following Proclamation of Pien-
dent Fim.mop.e, in regard to li e reported
CnWn expeJilioo. The “foreigners” (■•
whom he refers are, we picsume, the Cuban
agents in this country. The Proclamation is
full ant! explicit, mi l fjieikB for itself. Even
the friends hi'the expedition must admit that
the President could not have dono le-s linn
he lias, without failing iu the perfoi mnneo ol
his duty.
Whereas, there is reason to believe that a
Military Expedition is about to lie lined out
in the United .Stales with iniciitiun to invade
the Island of Cuba, a colony of.Spain, with
which this country is at pence; and w heieas
it is believed that this expedition is instiga
ted and set on foot chiefly by foreigners, w ho
dare to make our shot us the scene of their
■guilty nnd hostile preparations against a
Friendly Power, and seek, by fnl.-ehnod and
misrepre-entalion, la seduce our own cilj
zens, especially the young and mcriisideraic,
■into then- wicked schemes —an ungrateful re
turn for the henefils contend n.on tl em In
this people in permitting ll.cm to make our
country an asylum from oppiossior., nnd in
flagrant abuse of the liffifpitalily 'bus extend
cd to them :
And whereas such expeditions can only
rbe regarded as adventures for plunder mid
robbery, and must meet the condemnation of
.rhe civilized world,' w hilst they iiiodcrognto-
tydp the character of our country, in viola-
•lion, of the laws ul nations, and evpie-sly
prohibited by our own uta'ues, w hich de
clare “that if any person sllajl, within the
ilory or jurisdiction of the United States,
— fit 5,01 °» fiji, ol ' provide or prepare
moanor, nnd shall ho fined not exceeding
tince thousand dollars, and imprisoned not
more thm. three years.”
Now, Therefore, I have issued this my
Proclamation, warning all persons who shall
connect themselves with any such enterprise
or expedition, in violntion of our laws and
national obligations, that they will thereby
subject Ihcmselvus to the heavy penalties
denounced nga'mnt such offences, and will
forfeit their claim to tho protection of this
dovernmenl, or any interference on ihoir be-
hnlf, no imittor to what extremities they may
he reduced in consequence of their illegal
conduct. Ai d, therefore, I exhort nil good
citizens, ns they regard our national reputa-
tion, ns they respect their own laws and the
laws of nations, ns they vnluo tho blessings
of pence mid tho w elfare of their country, to
discountenance, nt.d hy all lawful menus pre
vent, any such enterprise; and 1 call upon
every officer of this Government, civil or
military, to uso all efforts in his power to ar
rest Ihr ti ini and punishment every such ol-
fertder ngnnfjit the laws of the country.

antiquity, found by a learned Greek of the

Tlio South (.'nt'olinii chivalry, it is known,
have recently appropriated $.30,000 lor bloo
dy weapons, and some Massachusetts Yan
kees have got the job lo make them—ot
a purl of them, at least.
A friend informs the editor of the Woon
socket Pat-ini that “Messrs Waters, -ol
Milhury, Mass., have obtained the contract
lor 'lie small arms, viz : 6,000 muskets,
3.000 lilies, and 2.000 pistols. The field
artillery are lo be made in South Carolina,
and the authorities were very anxious that
Messrs. Waters should manufacture lot
small arms there nlso, hut this could not he
and got iho nrius completed v it hi tl Hie time
ullot.ed hy I he contract. Me.-sig, Waters,
however, have contracted to establish tlte
armory in south Carloliua, after the comple
tion olTIhs order.”
No the valiant souls who are going to dis
solve the Union, whip Uncle Sam and “the
rest of mankind,” can’t even manufacture
their own gnus, hut have to travel all the
way to old Massachusetts.

Cuban Excitement in New-York.—
There was considerable excitement in New
York the laller part of last w eek, iq reg-rd
to the alleged expedition to Cuba. It was
supposed that ti part of live expedition was
about sailing from that ci.ty, and the U. S.
Marshal for the district of New- York, and
other Government olljccrs, wpro active in
their exertions to prevent i 1 . Nothing had
transpired, hqw c er, up to Saturday after
noon, to shew tlint any partot the expedition
had left that place. Tlte New-York Tri
bune says :
“The V. S. marshal, acting under orders
from Washington, yesterday arrested and de
tained the steamer Cleopatra, lying at the
fool ot North Moore-slreet. The Govern
ment have reason to believe that she was
employed to convey men to Cuba. Some
one or two bundled men, hard looking char
acters, lire congregated at 'South Amboy,
apparently awaiting tlio arrival pf others,
and a sloop had, been engaged to
lnr gangs of men, numbering from one to twa
hundred, havo bcon observed lounging a bouts
the wharves in this city, but the prompt!
measures ndopted by the Government have
probably defeated the intentions of the ma
rauders. ” ^
“Teach us to feel for others' woes.”
—R is not a little singular that the good peo
ple of South Carolina, who have seldom or
nflver lost a slave; should make the most
noise over the allogod non-execution of tho
Fugitive slave law. They nre resentiifg the j
wrongs uf other people who are quite insert-; i
siblc to them. It has been said that most £
men bonr the misfortunes of others with f
great equanimity; with proper self-discipline '• i
tho Palmetto Commonwealth might arrive j
at this happy stato of mind in regard to the K
wrongs of Maryland nnd Delewnre.
It is n little odd, too, that the great cen- K
trnl champion of the Southern oxtremeists
should be u uon-slarohulder, mid preach re
sistance in the garb of a non-combatant.—
Such is the position of the Southern Press..
It goes into daily paroxysms over the idea ofV)
igntimiiioiis “submission;” nothing will con-1*
lent it short of the division of California byf
36° 30'; nnd the satisfactory redress thereby!
of Southern indignity and oppression. It*?
oven rends lessons to our Democratic coteni-"
pornry of the Union about slavery and South-'
em rights; and in reply to ond of them, we'
observe'in the latter journal a quikt pnrn- £
graph, which says so much in a lew word#
that we cannot omit to copy it:—“We ore *■'
slaveholder ourself of fifty years’ experience^
and we beliove thal the causes which affect
tho value of ibis species of property must be
understood by us much better thnn they can
be by the editor of the Southern Press, who
never owned a slnvo, end probably never
will; but we enn entertain no hope thnt our
experience can be made useful lo one who*
gravoly asserts that the Compromise places f
tho South out of the Union.”
Now there is certainly something practi
cal in this mode of argument : "I have been
a slaveholder, and shall probably die one—
and 1 can see nothing to prevent me from ac
quiescing in the compromise. You, on the
oilier baiid, wlm never owned nslave in
your life, ure exceedingly distiessed at the
wrongs I have suffered 7n regard to my ne
groes, and leach secession from the Union
on iny nmiunt !” It is certainly n some
what strung argument to the individual; per-
Imps rather loo distinctly n personal appeal :
hut it is very much lo the point.—Rtpubdie,
