We fiud in the last number of the Westminster Review, the fullest and most interesting account -ve have ever met with, of the nature and culture of tea, a commodity which forms the chief bond of connexion between theEmpi.c of China, with | its population of three hundred and fifty millions, j and the rest of the world. The tea plant is a bushy evergreen shrub, and : if permitted to attain its natural size, will grow j to the height of 12 feet. In botany it constitutes I by itself a distinct genus, of which there is but a siuglo species, the plants yielding the different • kinds of black and green teas being in reality no i more than permanent varieties, the result of long [ culture. The plant has been cultivated in Chiu-. ■ from time immemorial. The latitudes in which it thrives best are from 23 to 30 North. Like the I vine, it is cultivated on the sides of hills, in i preference to plaitts. It is raised from the seed. and yields its first crop in from two to litre | years. When the best teas are raised, the plant I is carefully pruned, and prevented from attaining ] a height exceeding two or three feet. The j production of good tea depends upon soil, locality. I and season, fully as much as that of g< id wine. i Like it, too, the produce varies accord ng t> the j care with which the crop is collected and piep r- ; ed for use. From the same plant are common!' : taken, in each season four crops, which is another | can?e of variety in tea as it appears in the ; market. The youugcr the leaves, the higher i-- thc flavor. The earliest crop is taken in thp I beginning of Spring and the last in August, i The growth of teas of sufficiently high flavor to I keep for a considerable time and fit in conseqrttce for exportation was for .a long time confined in tw« BATTLE OF FORT MOULTRIE.

While I was there I saw j provinces—Fokien, which yielded black tea— a number of the enemy’s boats at the hack of I Kmognau, which yielded green'tea.

Americans, on the con trary, consume two parts ol green to one of black.. consequence the doctor was killed upon the spot; and one of the inmates of the house, a person named Col- lum. or, as we have heard since, Helmas, was so wounded as to have been totally insensible to the subsequent punishment inflicted on his body, whilst suspended with the rest upon the gallows Three more individuals were taken in the house dication of the conviction.

This community have perhaps never been more excited oi outraged than it was the day before yes terday by the intelligence that a child of oue of our cilizeus," Dr. Gesuard, had been carried off, anu that too bv an own brother. Tito circumstances that day. About that time an alarm of fire had been given, which bad called out the several fire companies, and a considerable number of the citizens i f the place. The fire which caused the alarm was easily and suddenly extinguished. In formation was 'hen communicated to otic of the fire companies that a child of Dr Gesnard five or six years of age had been stolen by oue of his (Dr. G—’s) brothers—that this inhuman depre dator h;d left intelligence behind in a letter, with another brother, that for thirty thousand dollars the child would be restored to its parents, aud unless this ransom should be paid they should no ver see it more, it is further slated that the ag onised father had consented to redeem bis hoy in the manner proposed, first having offered $15,000, which was refused, & that the brother who was actiug as mediator was at that moment at the Mo bile Bank receiving a part of the ransom money. The company to which these facts were made known immediately repaired in a body to tho Bank, seized the brother they found there & bore him away to a place of secret confinement for ex amination. This one seenrred, it was next re solved to make sure of two other brothers, who if uot actually in the plot, it was feared would com municate intelligence of the movements that were going ou to the man lhat was absent with the. child, and thus thwart .ill furtbet%fforts for its recovery. The citizens of the place had by this time become generally informed of the facts and the excitement which was very great had be come universal. In a -hurt time aud atshort in tervals the other two brothers were found aud taken into custody. In the meantime such measures had becu taken with the first that w as seized as extorted from him a confession of his knowledge of the hiding place of tho absent bro ther tad child. Ho solemnly promised on con dition of his life’s being spared him be would use all the means in liis power to rescue the child alive, which he believed could be done by allowing the brother who had borne him off to escape also with his life, after surrendering up the child; al- tho’ he had been assured if ho brought any other .person with him, the life of the boy would be sacrificed on the instant. The necessary arrangements was soon made for the pursuit, but by this time the populace, exas perated at the unnatural act of barbarity which had been committed, had assembled in such great number* around the city prison, manifesting too, such a spirit of vengeance and indignation it the outrage, that it was considered unsafe-to .ake the individual, who had promised to. act as their guide, out from his confinement until the' crowd could be dispersed. As the first step to accomplish this end, the City Troop and the Guards, who had been called out shortly after tne excitement began were dismissed, and the assem bled citizens were requested, by the commander of the cavalry company, iu an audible voice, to go immediately to their homes aud leave all farther proceedings to a party of citizens that had taken tbemalter for the present into their own bands. The request was complied with, though not without some apparent reluctauce. While the crowd was dispersing, in prosecuting of the plan proposed the Don’Juan, asmallow-boatthat runs remarkably still, was chartered, and got in readiness for the expedition. Just after nightfall, the party w*th their guide embarked ou tho boat nid left the city, for tho place designated, which was some fifteen or twenty miles up the Mobile river. Ye*terday morning at suurise the boat return ed—and joyful to relate! with the stolen child—in safety! The joy of the parents ; especially tho fnth—r. w ho was awaiting anxiously the return of the boat, can be better imagined than painted. As the boat readied the wharf.the child was held up to ;h: view ol the father when iu the rapture of his feelings ho fell on his knees and gave thanks to God. To tlto*e wht^bncl witnessed his agony the day previous, this scene of a father, embrac ing his lost boy. was really affecting beyond all description Whether the brother that acted as mediator and guide on this occasion, and the one who committed this strange and atrocious theft were allowed to escape, or what was or is to be their fa-c, is more than we cau fully ascertain.— Certain it is, they were not brought to the city by the return boat and we understand they were permitted to goat large on condition of their leav ing the country to return no more. the bar-keeper called Dutch Bill, Mr. Samuel hissiug at the time, accompanied with some faint Smith, and Mr. McCall. North who had previ- ‘ L ’ ously quitted it, aud was endeavoring to make his escape by water, was arrested about a mile from the city and brought back; his hands were tied behind him. and be was obliged to walk with the rest who had been similarly bound—each hav ing a rope around his neck, which was freqent- ly jerked so violently as nearly to choke them!— In this manner they were conducted to the scaf fold and executed. The unfortunate sufferers presented such a horrible appeareuce that the passers-by were, moved even to tears!—Some of them endeavored to interfere but were threat ened with a similar punishment and obliged to desist. These unfortunate men claimed to the last the privilege of American citizens—the trial by jury, and professed themselves willing to submit to any thing their country would legally inflict upon them, but we are sorry to say their petition was in vain! The black musicians were ordered to strike up, and the voices of the suppliants were drowned by the fife and drum. Air. or dered them to play Yankee Doodle, a tune which we believe, has never been so prostituted before —and we trust will never be again. The un happy sufferers frequently implored a drink of water, but they were refused ! The company consisted of 30 or 40 persons, commanded hy Capt Baumgnrd. aud armed by the United States for a very different purpose, that of protecting their fellow citizens, and raaiu- ing the supremacy of the laws. Such conduct would disgrace Algiers, aud could have hardly occurred in a barbarous state. The wife of one of the sufferers, half distract ed at the cruel treatment and murder of her hus band, trembling for her owu safety, in tears beg ged permission to inter her husband’s body—it was refused! She was afterwards compelled to fly, with her orphan child iu an open skiff for her personal security. Tho same fate was threatened to any person who should dare to cut down the bodies before the expiration of the tweuty four-hours. At 11 o’clock the next day, they were cut down and thrown together iutoa hole which had been dug near the gallows, without coffins or any other preparations, except a box into which ono of them was put. Thus euded the disgusting and horrible oc currence. We understand that the magistrates attempted to interfere, but were cautioned at their peril nollointermeddlo iu the affair. What, in the name of all that is good—asked the Philadelphia Commercial Herald—are we coming to? Is ours a government of laws, are they laws to be silenced and defied by lawless mobs and brutal barbarians. What must the na tions of Europe think of of us and ofour country? of us who boast that our land is tho home of the free and the asylum of tho oppressed—where “every man may sit under his own vino and fig- tree, and none shall molest or make afraid !”— Can we longer boast that ours is the land of lib erty ? No, rather must we sav, and we do it with shame, ’tis a laud of anarchy and licentiousness, and the arm of civil authority is paralyzed and nerveless. PROCLAMATION. By H. G. Runnels Governor of the Slate of Mississippi. Whereas it has been represented to the Ex ecutive, that there is a band of lawless, base, villanous white men travelling the country, en deavoring to get up an insurrection amoug our slaves: And whereas, it has been further rep resented to the Executive, that disclosures had been made by those concerned, well calculated to excite the most serious apprehensions that a widely extended conspiracy is on foot, calculated to produce an alarm, and to call forth the vigi- leuce and etiergy of our people. Ido, therefore, issue this Proclamation, exhort ing all good citizens, and commanding the offi cers, both civil aud military, to use the most un tiring vigilance to suppress all such insurrection ary movements, and to apprehend all such sus picious pet sobs, and doliver them over to the proper authorities, that they may be brought to condign punishment. To which end I espe cially call on the members of the Board of Police of each county and district, to exert the authority given to them hy an act of the Legislature of the 25th of December, 1833, of organizing in their respective beats active and efficient patroles. I repeat the importance aud necessity of much vigilance in all quarters of the State; and, should it become necessary, I do hereby order the Quar ter Master General, & each of tho assistant Quar ter Master Generals; to deliver the arms of tho State, into the hands of the People for their de fence, taking the receipts of responsible persons for the same and at the same time having due re gard to tho proper distribution according to tho exigonctos of the case.

The Louisiana Advertiser gives the particulars, iu an authentic shape, of the horrid outrage late ly committed at Vicksburg, Miss, and which pre sents the transaction in a more odious light even than the former account. It is as follow* : Some difficulty arose at the public dinner giv- n in celehr lion of the 4th of July, as too often middle of October, and the business period of happens on similar occasions, between Mr. Fish- j the trade exists from that tunc to the end of j December.

It may seem obtrusive forme, after so slight an acquaintance, to address to you a letter;' but a late occurrence in our city, in which you can not but feel an interest, induces me to incur the risk of the charge. The occurrence to which l allude, is the public debate held last night in Ju lian Hall, between the Rev. Messrs. Gurley aud May, on the merit of the Colonization Society. The Rev. Mr. Gurley was challenged in this de bate by his Anti-Slavery antagonist. The reso lution discussed was not known to hirn until the parties met on the stage of the Hall. Its import was, lhat the Colonization Society did not de- setve the patronage of the public, because it sanc tioned and taught in its authorised writings, doc trines that were nnchristaih, inhuman, tfcc. Arc. The Anti-Slavery party admitted that the cham pion was as good a oue as they could produce or could wish, being a man of kuown ability, of great candour, unquestionable piety, and less of a declaimer, aud more of a logician, than Thomp son, who treated his audience with so much srhoid-boy declamation, aud so little argument in a former discussion- Great interest was excit ed by the public advertisements of the meeting, the Hall was jammed at an early hour, ami it is prob able that hundreds went away for the want of seats. Mr. May commcnred the debate. He spoke at length of the charges specified iu the resolution, and read from numerous documents to establish them. Mr. Guriey iu his reply, an swered the charges most triumphantly- The audience could not resist the conviction &. though a request had been giveu that there should bo no expression of feeling ou the part of the assembly, involuntary thunders of applause burst forth at frequent intervals, and the hissing showed a con- scioasuc'53 of defeat. The rejoinder of May was cheeriug. Before the latter had entirely closed Gurley rose to reply when thunders, of applause broke from the audience to bail him, but which his antagonist thought were designed for himself, and rising again he requested his friends to re strain tho expression of their interest and allow his opponent to proceed ! 1 will not attempt to describe to you Gurley’s teply lest you suspect me enthusiastic. Suffice it to say, that those who have heard him repeat edly, declare that they never heard him acquit himself so nobly before. He was evidently con scious that he had got the mastery. He moved a- long. perfectly at home, deliberately attacking and scattering iu ruins every position of his an tagonist. The enlarged grasp and powerful sweeos of thought, the dignified candour, and the sound logical argumentation with which he dis cus?ed the question, excited the admiration of all, even eueuties, Tbqoverwhclmiug applause, compared with the faint hissing with which he was heard, show the state of feeling in this com munity respecting this great subject; numbers who went to the meeting undecided have been convinced of the folly of the Anti Slavery movements. And itis confidently believed that the continuance of the debate wilt materially in jure the Abolitionists. The house rung with : 'p pfause for a long interval after Gurley too* hi* seat. The debate to be resumed again next Monday evening. All that is necessary in this city is an efficient agent, and the Colonization will carry.with it the whole power of tiie public ( sentiment. The intelligent & influential portion of’our citizens almost universally are opposed to the Abolitionists.—A T . Y. Times Extract of a letter to a gentleman of this city, dated Boston, July 21,1835. I intimated in my last that the debate bent een Gurley and May was to be resumed again last evening. The bouse was crowded at :tn early hour, the defeat of the last occasion having alarm ed the Abolitionists and roused them to extraor dinary efforts to rally. May commenced the de bate. He flagged very painful throughout his speech. He is a man of much apparent candor, but uot sufficient moral fortitude to bear such a responsibility. Almost every shade of depresscd and chagrined feeling flits over his countenance while speaking. Gurley, it was generally allow ed, rose even above his former power, and was treated with frequent and most enthusiastic cheer ing. May's second speech was most painfully embarrassed. It was evident to most casual ob server that he actually did not knotc ichat to say He hesitated, stammered, turned pale, asked how long it was before his time was up. if it had unt expired, and finally rounded off some kind of a closiug sentence, and took his seat. I am con scious that 1 tell the truth, when I say. that it w as the sincere desire .of Colonizationists themselves, that he should do better than he did. The au dience seemed affected with pity for the embar rassed state of his feelings. Gurley then answer ed with his usual mastery, and was carrying the audience along iu thunders of applause, when Gen. Thomson, who was on the stage, chargrilled at the failure of his cause, and the triumphant success of Gurley, rose up, impassioned, and de manded to be heard, when such an expression of indignation broke from the audience as never was witnessed before in this city. “Down with him !” “Down with him!” “Out with him!” &c rung iu thunders. He tried to persist, hut the audi ence rose en masse from their seats, like an oce : i thrown into tumult, aud silenced him, so that hr had to resume his seat. I he expression of feel ing was tremendous ; but who will say it was not just? Tie debate had Ween arranged between the antagonists, and what right had gentlemen to inter rupt its order? Such a glorious expression of the true sentiments of this ccmtnunity on this great question will have its effect. The Abolitionists seemed astounded ; they had not dreamed that there was remaining yet so much opposition of opiuiou in this goodly city. Gurley sat down with long continued and overwhelming applause. May rose again, though it was near eleven o’clock at which many Colonizationists, disgusted in his former efforts retired. He seemed to be roused n little by his failure, to make a stronger effort, aud succeeded better, a* far as fluency of speech is concerned. Three fourths of his remarks refer red altogether to constitutionality of the right of discussing the subject of slavery—a poiut never questioned by his antagonist. His remarks were however, delivered with less embarrassmen than before, and tho abolitionists cheered him at (he close.
