Un !?r the Qritiahadministration, some ships
wholly built of teak, were constructed by Brit
ish ship builders. In the year 1817 it was es
timated that the hull of a ship, well fastened
and sheathed with copper, could easily be con
structed at the. rate of £12 per ton!
According to Forbes, a few miles from Cal
icut, is a small seaport called Vnpura, on the
banks of n river, where vessels are built oi
teak and a quantity of the wood exported.—
The trees arc felled on the Ghaut mountains,
transported to the river by elephants and float
ed down in the rainy season!
Teak wood, as Thunbcrg reports, brought a
considerable price at the Cape of Good Hope,
oji account of its great utility in a country where
large timber trees arc rare.
Dr. Buchanan, on the authority of Mr. War-
ra q computed in 1800, that the forests on the
benches of Panyaniriver in the southern part
of Malabar, befofc mentioned, could supply be
tween four and five thousand candies of Teak
annually; but that could only be done by a
large body of trained elephants, an expense,
far beyond the reach of individuals, and only
to be undertaken by the company. The can
dy of teak timber, when seasoned, measnres
lU^’cubic feet.
In 1829 there wero imported into Great
Britain from tho western coast ol Africa, that
is to say, front Sierra Leone, the river Gam-
Id.i and the coist between the Gambia and the
Mcsurado, 16,015 loads* of teak timber valued
at a little upwards of £10,000. In the same
yf-ar tho only tther imports of teak were 421
loads from the East India Company’s territo
ries and Ceylon, and 463 loads from ports in
the Burman Empire. In 1880 I do not find
tho quantity of teak imported. Tho amount
of duties levied on it was about £ll,000.t—
Tho teak timber from Java is said to be better
than that of Pegu or the Burman Empire, but
inferior to the Malabar. The relative quality
of tho African teak I have not been able to
learn, hi 1821 some seeds of the teak were
received in tho U. S. as is mentioned in the
American Farmer. Whether any of them
over grew or not is unknown to me.
free from brush wood, and the ground about
them free from weeds and grass; and at two
years from the first splashing, four years from
planting,to repeat the operation at the height
of four or four and a half feet, when I think
the fence will be complete, and require only
an annual clipping with the hill hook, and be
come a complete barrier to every description
of domestic animals.
I feel a strong confidence, that a substan
tial fence may be grown ■ from the honey or
tlircc thorned locust in six, or af most seven
years, from the seed, and at a less expense
than it will cost to build and maintain any
good dead fence for two years. Upon this
last point, however, I am not prepared to give
precise data. Yet I will hazard a calcula
tion.—Twenty plants arc amply sufficient for
a rod, of course 1000 quicks will plant 50
rods. Let us assume this as the basis of our
calculation. The 1000 quicks, at one or two
years old, will cost $5. Tlircc men will easi
ly plant them in a day. Allow a day. and a
half every year for cleaning and chipping the
50 rods. This will require nine days’ labor in
the six years. Estimate the labor at $1 per
diem, and it gives for tltis item an aggregate
of $12 ; add §5 for the quicks and. it makes a
total of $17, or 34 cents per rod, as the ex
pense of planting and growing a live perma
nent fence,Vproof against the depredations of
boys and bulls. Treble this sum, and call the
cost one dollar per rod, what a pittance is the
expense compared with tho advantages afford
ed by a fence of this description, which shall
protect your crops front depredation, and in a
measure from the bleak winds of winter, and
is permanent^in its duration. The lowest
price of a post and board fence here is cnc
dollar per rod. It will last twelve years, and
requires 5 per cent per annum to mend and
1-eep it in repair. 1 have used no extra fence
for protecting the hedgo. I plant near an ex
isting partition fence, and exclude cattle while
the growth is tender. Cattle will seldom cat
browse while they have good pasture.

LIVE FENCES OF THREE THORNED
ACACIA.
Mr. Fessenden—The rain havingdriven me
within doors, I sit down to comply with your
kvqursf, in regard to the culture of live fences.
Your Providence correspondent should take
up his three thorned locusts in his seed rows,
mid replant, for three reasons:—1. That he
may dig and pulverize his ground, an impor
tant requisite; 2. That he may size his
plants ; 8. That he may insert them at regu
lar distances. The two lntter arc essential to
the beauty and regular growth of the hedge,
und to its after management.
My practice is to plant at ten or twelve in
ches, generally in a single row, hut sometimes
in double parallel rows, one foot apart* where
I require a very strong hedge. At two years
from plantin':, autumn of 1830,1 cut apart off
at the uniform height of two feet. Another
part I splashed, or bent and partially cut at
that height, and wattled the tops horizontally
to the right and left, alternately, of the contig
uous plants, but all one way. Last spring I
laid in a third parcel when in full foliage. All
those have done well, and have made from
three to five feet of new wood. I think the
laying or splashing is far the preferable way,
us It presents a formidable horizontal barrier,
which must strengthen with tho growth of the
hedge. A fourth parcel, planted three years,
ubout an inch in diameter, and 7to 9foothigh,
I design to lay this fall.
I generally manure the strip I intend for a
hedge, and cultivate it with potatoes the sum
mer preceding planting. I draw a line where
I intend to plant, and throw up a trench of tho
requisito depth and breadth for the roots of tho
■quirks, and if the soil below is poor, go a lit
tle deeper, and throw in some surface soil at
the bottom. The earth is all thrown to the
front, and the hack edge ofthe trench is made'
perpendicular, that the plants may be set up
right in a line. A hoy drops the plants on the
line or back side of the trench, and I proceed
to plant, placing tho heel of the plant against
this side, and gu itring it to a proper depth with
|nv hand, when a rr>'»n throws upon the roots a
shovel full ef earth, which keeps the quick in
irs’ position. This is repeated until the plant-
uig is completed. A second hand fills the
reach; when the earth is trodden and the
uicks are made to present a straight regular
:ne. With two men and a boy I have plant-
I 1 Oi)0 and 1590 quicks in a day in my
ounds.
The plan which I have resolved to pursue
~,t after jaunagojneut, is to omit laying or sjla-'
r. Chappell. presented a communication from
Commissioners of the Gold and Land Lotte

frauds committed in said.drawing which was

resolution, in accordauco with said comumuica-

To the General Assembly note in session.
Fellow-Citizens:—Thedevelopemcnts recently
made tending to impress the publick with the
belief, that improprieties and frauds to some ex
tent, have been committed by some of the Agents
engaged in the management of the Lotteries uow
iu progress, induces me to submit to the Legisla
ture such views upon the subject as I deem to be
important to tho public interest. Among the va
rious difficult and complicated duties which have
devolved on me in carrying into effect tho lottery
laws, 1 was at an early day impressed with the
danger aud embarrassments which might arise
from the fact of the laws not having provided any
adequate pains and penalties to be indicted upon
the agents intrusted with the management of this
important business, provided they should prove
recreant to tho public interest. Under the pro
vision* of the law, the Lottery Comqnssioumai’o,
neither buder the solemnities of an oath, nrfr tho
obligations of a bond, to perform the duties en
joined on tbem;uor is the slightest authority giv
en to the Executive to check, suspend or con-
tr< i! their operations even when suspected of im
propriety. The various clerks engaged iu this
business, although au indispensable appendage,
are not eveu known to tho Law, or directly ame
nable to any responsible crcateing power. Irre
sponsible as the commissioners were, they have
been permitted to select their own clerks, with
the view of impressing them with full force of
their obligations to tho public, for the correctness
of every entry aud transaction iu relation to the
lotteries.—Should the investigation now in pro
gress before tho Legislature result in tho convic
tion of the guilt of any one, or more of the persons
to whom this iulCTcsung and delicate public trust
has boon confided, we should no longer confide
alone iu those high and honorable moral princi
ples, which are tho inmates of tho breast of honest
men alone. Wc should consider and provide a-
gainst the frailties of poor human nature as it is
found to exist.
A few weeks more will probably close the pre
sent session of the Legislature, and yet a great aud
interesting portion of the Lotteries will refaain to
be completed. In thefl:bseneb sYthC Legislature,
power should be vested some tVfcere to insure to
itie people au honest and faithful completion of
this bnsinesr. 'No office under our Government
can or shb'uld be considered iluf vested right of any
citizen, longer than the public interest demands
such investment. The abuse of au official trust,
like the one under consideration cannot bo
slumbered over; prompt correction is indispens
able to the dearest rights and interest of the peo
ple. -1 can discover nothing in our constitution
or laws incompatible with the right of the Legis
lature to secure to tho people the honest aud faith
ful discharge of all official duties, which may de
volve upon the officcrsaud agents of the govern
ment, ofevery grade nud cur.ditiou. It is the daily
practice of the Legislature to euactlaws requiring
additional duties to he performed by various offi
cers of the Government—and why may not furthei
duties which the public interest requires be exact
ed from the agents who are superintending the
Ldttcries ? ' And what Cad bo more preposterous
than to suppose that the agents may not be dis
posed of in ilto most summary way, under.the di
rection of the same power which created tlicnl,
whenever tho public imereti shill demand it?

States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro

problematical whether it may be the will of Heav
en that we shall ever have another presidential e-
lection, under the present constitution of the Uni
ted States. I pretend to no right to control the
press in the election of its topics. But 1 may
rightfully desire to have it understood that, at
such a rime as this, and under the circumstances
of public anxiety and alarm that surround us, 1
take no pleasure, but the reverse, in seeing my
name the renewed subject of newspaper discus
sion, for a purpose so remote and contingent. I
am sensible of the favorable regard which, I have
no doubt, prompted your article, and grateful for
it.-—But I should lose all self-respect if, at such a
time and under such circumstances, 1 could be
thinking of myself, or sanction, by my silence,
what seems to me so very unseasonable an obiru-
sion of my name on the consideration of the pub
lic.
There is already, far too much of exasperated
feeling among our people from other causes of im
mediate and unavoidable pressure.—The efforts of
every true friend to his country should be directed

‘'Resolved, That we abhor the doctrine of Nul
lification, as neither a peaceful nor constitutional
remedy; but oi the contrary, tis tending to civil
commotion and disunion ; and while we deplore
the rash and revolutionary measures recently adop
ted by a Convention of the people of South Caro
lina, we deem it a paramount duly to warn our
fcllow-ti'.izeas against adopting her mischievous
policy.”
RYAN’S RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas the Tariff Law of tho last Session of
Cougress has not satisfied the just expectation of
the people of the Southern States.—Whereas the
recent attempts to provide a remedy for the evils
which we suffer from the Protective System, by
a Conveut;nn, not only will probably be abortive,
but is likely, if persisted iu materially, to dis
turb tho public harmony and lesson' the moral
force of the State. And whereas, the Resolu
tions adopted ity the Delegates of a minority of
the People, aud which are about to he submitted
to the State for ratification, are in several respects
of a limit objectionable character, it becomes tho
duty of those who are the unquestionable repre-
'seutatives of tlie people of Georgia, to interpose,
for tho purpose of truuqnilizing the public mind,
and concentrating the public will, by the recom
mendation of a course of policy which they trust
will obtain the general approbation of the com
munity—Therefore,
Resolved, That if a Southern Convention bo
desirable, it is expedient for the State of Georgia
to iuvite the 8 tales of Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, and Mis
sissippi, to concur with her iu electiug Delegates
to a Southern Coavcotiodf which shall take into
ventiou which shall take iuto consideration, the
Tariff System of tho General Government, and
devise and recommend the most effectual and
proper mode of obtaining relief From the‘evils of
that system.
Art. 2. She proposes that eacii invited Slate
shall send to the Convention a number of Dele
gates equal to the number of Senators and Rep
resentatives to which such State is entitled iu the
Congress of the United States.
Art, 3. Tho Convention shall not take place
unless five States of the six, which it is proposed
to invito, assent to tho proposal.
Art. 4. The tune and place of assembling the
proposed Convention, shall be arranged and de
termined by correspondence among those who.
shall bo duly authorized by the States asscutiug
to this plan.
Art. 5. The Governor of this State is author
ised and desired to commuuicate the iilvitatien
nud proposals coutaiUcd in the four preceding ar
ticles, to the Governors of the other States above-
mentiotlcd, with a request thnt they be made
known to tho people of those States respective
ly- He is also authorised and desired to arrange
liy correspondence, the time and placo of asscra-.
bling the proposed Convention, comfprroably to
tho provision of the fourth article.
-Arf.G. When the time and. place for the meet
ing of said Convention are determined, tho Gov
ernor of this State is authorised aud desired to
issue his proclamation, with timely notice, for an
election of cloven delegates by general ticket, to
represent tile State in said Convention, the elec
tion to be regulated by the same principles as
those which govern the elections of members of
Congress. It is also desired and expected, that
tho Legislature of this State, will make such-pro
vision as may bo necessary, for carrying more
completely and readily iuto c'ffcct t|ie above plan,
if it should ha adopted as proposed. ... . . ’
Art. 7. If the Delegates assembled in a South-
fern Convention^according to the above plan,
should agree on a course of proceeding which
they recemmend to the States represented, the
Governor of this Stato is authorized and desired
to issite a proclamation, with timely notico for an
election of Delegates to a State Convention, de
claring the time and place at which it shall as
semble. Such Convention shall .consist of Dele
gates from every county, equal in number to that
of its members in the House of Representatives
ofthis State; and the elections of said Delegates
shall be regulated by the same principles and nu-
tfaedficateil By the same forms as elections for
members of the General. Assembly. To the
State Coriventiqn thus elected* the recommend
ations of tho Southern Convention shall he sub
mitted. If tho same are approved by the State
Convention, they shall then be referied to the
people for final ratification iti such manner as
may be prescribed by Said convention; find if they
are ratified by the majority of those jiersons en
titled to vote for members of the General Assem
bly, tho State Convention shall proclailil.tUat
the said, recommendations, beingregularly .adopt-
cd, express tho will of the people of Geoigia,.and
shall also provide the mode of giving permanent
and authentic record to such ratification.
Resolved, That if the above plau of a southern
Convention is adopted bv the votes of a majority
of tho ettzens ofthis State, given in the manner
thereiu described, it will be the right and duty of
the different functionaries of the State Government
to afford all necessary aid in facilitating its exc-
buUon.
RcsolvoJ, That wo earnestly advise our fellow-
citizens, not to give their votes pn the Resolu
tions of tho convention recently adjourned, as
therein proposed. That convention manifestly
consisted of Delegates from a minority of the peo
ple ; yet they Submit their acts for ratification to
the whole people according 'to a form contrived
by thenisitves, through the agency of persons ap
pointed by themselves, while they the vise Ives re
main ffnai judges of the ratification proposed. To
sanction such a procedure would open a door for
the grosscstimpositiou, would establish au alarm-
. iug precedent for nsuetping the rights of tho ma
jority, and might ultimately expose us to fill the
horrors pf discord and anarchy. . . p
Resolved, That while wo would provide a cor
rective for tho possible continuance of those evils
of which we have so much reason to complain,
wc still, hope that tho regular operations of the
General Government, will supersede the necessi
ty of any extraordinary measures on tho part of
the Southern People; and that wo recognize the
happiest augury of better things, iu the growing
certainty of the reflection of tile illustrious patri
ot Audrcw Jackson.
stead, therefore, ofopening a new source of ex
citement by the premature discussion of the sub
ject of the next election, I am more disposed to
unite in an endeavor to shut up those other foun
tains that are already sending out their bitter wa
ters so freely among us, and to see if it be not pos
sible to bring back something like that state of
great and disinterested love of country and frater
nal concord, tn which the war of the. revolution
left us; atld the fedeial constitution found us. It
was that auspicious state of things that made the
introduction of free government so easy;', and its
action hitherto so prosperous. I indulge in..no
romantic expectation of the return of that golden
age. But, unless something effectual can be done
to allay the agitation that has already arisen, and
bring our people to a kinder state of fceliDg and
more harmonious action, it requires no great
stretch of politifeal sagacity to see that our institu
tions will rush to speedy ruin;
At such a time, and in such astate of things, I
must be excuaed from any agency, express or ta
cit, in the premature agitation of the question
the next election of President.

A CARD.
To the Editor of the Providence American.
Sir—The National Intelligencer of the lCth ip-
starit, tvhir.h has just been handed to me at this
place, informs me that my name has been present
ed in your paper in reference to the election of
President in 183C—7. It is proper, I think, that
I should, without delay, place my own views of
the s abject before you, and request that they may.
be made public for the information of those who
may .ake an interest in them. I consider the no
mination which I accepted as having been finally
disposed of by the recent election; and tho senti
ment of deference which, under the circumstances
of the case, led me to yield my own wishes to
those of a portion of my fellow citizens in assent
ing to that nomination, now bindi me with increa
sed obligation to acquiesce in the decision of the
whole which has been made upon it.—The ques
tion of renominatinn is a new question, on which
1 may expect to be heard, if it should be thought
expedient to make it, at the time proper for its con
sideration. That lime, 1 think, is not the preseut.
The election is too far off, and the future too en
tirely unknowD, to permit me to judge of what'it
may. hereafter, be proper to do.
Should the question ever be put for my decis
ion, 1 shall answer it according to my sense of my
duty ns a citizen of the United States.—I know of
no legitimate purpose of such a nomination, but
the election of a President for the common good
and happiness of the country. In my former let
ter of acceptance, 1 said distinctly that I could ne
ver consent to be the President of a party, and
the same sentiment will continue to influence me
in ahy future decision I may be called to make
upon this subject. Meantime, there are other
subjects of fearful magnitude that press them
selves on the immediate attention of the patriot,
and-demand alt his solicitude. The Union itself
