I From ihe observations respecting tlie effects of | the shades ofthe sugar maple, the mulberry, and : the locust, it might lie expedient to plant those ! trees around some fields designed for pasture, grain or meadow. especially the locust, which i in the essay on the management of woodland, is ( j“ described to be very valuable for many mechan ical purposes, which require solidity and durabi lity. It will propagate itself too, in the most barren places, where the soil is even so light ns to he blown away by the winds. By sheltering such [daces, and dropping its leaves upon them, it causes a sward to grow over them, and grass to grow upon them. It is however, objected by some, that it is not advisable to niant the locust on the borders of fields, on the account of their spreading too much, by scattering their leavos. unless on those which are most barren. This objection, however, it would seem, might be obviated, when the field to he enclosed by tho locust, was often to be appropriated to the pur poses of tillage, especially in the culture of the hoe, by which every superfluous plant may he suppressed*— Fanners Library. as a i,.oral right; and we propose as a preventive to the mischief of rioters, that the legislature of this state pass a law, making every township or muuicipal government accountable for property wasted within its limits by rioters.

To the Editor of the Georgian : Sir—In your paper of the 11th insti which has just reached my hands, 1 perceive a communica tion from my brother, explanatory of what he says is a coincidence in the publication iu the same number of the Savannah Republican of an original article from himself, aud the re pub lication of an artirie signed “Crawford,” ad dressed hy some good soul, as it appears, to me. Had my brother’s card not appeared in your pa per, or in some other paper of the Union party, I should not have known that the piece Craw ford had ever been issued ; and knowing nothing at all now of its contents, doubtless I shall he e- qually ignorant ef them ten years hence. Since iny perusal of tho Athens Southern Whig of tho 16lh ult. not a single line, absolutely not a siugle word, of the contents of a newspaper of the State Rights party (not even excepting the paper of that party published in my own town of Athens,) has been read by me, or to me, or reported to me- I may, indeed, after the manner of the lato John of Roanoke, say or the Nullifying prints, that I do not now touch one of them with a pair of tongs ! From the 16th of July, then, I have been utterly ignorant of their contents; indeed, both my honorable friend, who is before the peo ple of Georgia a candidate for the highest office tn their gift, and myself, have felt ourselves com pelled from self-respect considering the falsehoods eliminated against us hy the nullifying papers, to decline perusing them. In ourutteriguorance there fore, of the present calumnies against us we have a confident reliance oil tho good sense of the peo ple of Georgia; and are perfectly williug to let them he the arbiters between our slanderers and Estimable as the character of Jud« "hit The People’s Rights.

D0 ? nothing of their writings, and • ■ - - - r - - ... our political friends laugh at them. Labonn ted by those tribunals, in conformity with the course and usages of municipal law. Vattel lays down the international rulcas.iollows: The sovereign “ought not to suffer Ins subjects to mo lest the,subjects of others, or to do them an in jury. much less should he permit thorn audaci ously to offend foreign powers : he ought t.o ob lige the guilty to repair the damage if that he possible, to inflict on him exemplary punishment or in short, according to the nature of the case, and tho circumstances attending it, to deliver himself up to the offended State, there to receive justice. This is pretty generally observed with respeet to great crimes, and such as are equally contrary to tho laws and safety of all nations. Assassins, inrendihries and robbers, are seized e- vorywhere, nud nt the desire ofthe sovereign of the place whore the offence was committed, de livered up to his justice.” It seems to us that Vnttel’s language is broad enough to include eve ry case of great crime, (aud what can be greater and more cno'-mnus crime. than exciting a serv ile war ?) committed against a foreign power, without reference to the locus in quo—to the place where the crime was committed. But e- ven taking it forgranted. for the sako of argu ment, that this limitation is to be derived from rheexpross reference, made by Vattel to “the place where the crime was committed,” in the sentence last quoted from him, we couteud that the northern inceudiaries come both within the rule and its supposed limitation. Their crime is of a peculiar character, it may be as easily com mitted at a distance from, as tvithin the bosom of a community—their weapons of offence are in tellectual ones, and the press the catapult from which they may be discharged with any assigna ble momentum, and to any assignable’distance. Their guilt partakes of the character of what is known to the law as a seditious libel, with intent to stir up insurrection, and although they com pose their libellous missives, at a distance from us, they utter nad publish them here, with intent to produce effect bare, and therefore, according to the rules of both international and municipal law in its strictest technicality, this is the locus—the place of their offence, and the right to demand their persons, under the one code, and to punish them under the other, is complete. Wherever one acts, he is constructively present, aud this is enough for the purpose of criminal jurisdiction and justice. No one can doubt that a man, standing in Georgia, feloniously kills another in tho adjoining State of South Carolina, that the latter, by virtue ofthe law ofnations, could de mand of the former the person of the murderer, aud by virtuo of her municipal law, punish him through her own courts. The case is equally clear in regard to the murderous wretches who are now busy in discharging their poisoned shafts at the bosoms and vitals of the South.” Char Courier. These scribbling gentry of the Nullifying press, are indeed, it may be said, pouring water in a Preventive for Riots.—The power of a mob aud the inefficiency of a police, havo now been tested in this country. We consider that in Baltimore tho Rioters effected every purposo for which they combined ; and tho display of power on the part of the citizens and military was only an' after game, that had nothing to do with tho “stay of proceedings.” It was the same near Boston, at New Yoik, near Philadelphia, and at the South. Laws, then, are inoperative ; the people will not or cannot preserve from destruction the property of individuals or associations that have by any means become obnoxious to the censure of a mob. What then is to be done? A man pays his tax for the support of a government, established for the preservation of personal pecuniary rights; he sub mits himself and his cause to the law when his conduct is called iu question; he ask uo special action to suit his case, or any favor frem judge or jury ; and as a property bidder, ho pays a part of the expenses incurred on the prosecution legally time every morning, and though not so ' instituted against himself.

Full returns have not been received from the late elections in Alabama, North Corolina and Kentucky, Indiana, Missourie. and Tennessee: but enough is known to enable ns to assure onr readers that there has beon a general gain to the administration. In Kentucky there is a gain of an additional democratic member in congress, & forty members to the State Legislature. Iu In diana, the whole delegation in congress are now for the first time the avowed frienJs of the admi nistration. In Alabama, the Hon. C. C. Clay, a most decided friend of the administration in the last congress, and a supporter ofthe Baltim ore nominations, is elected Governor; and, as far as we have heard, a majority of the same opi nions of the Governor were returned to congress and the General Assembly. In Missourie, an in creased majority of republicans are returned to the legislature, and there will bo a gain of one r if not two democratic members to congress. In North Carolina, there is a probability that the strength of the administration will be increased by nu additional member in the House, it is cer tain that it will not be reduced. Aud we believe that the republican majority in the next legisla ture will be greater than the last. In Tennessee it is extremely doubtful whether Carroll who a- vowed himself iu favor of Mr. Van Buren for the Presidency, or Cannon who avowed himself for Judge Whito, is elected Governor. The mem bers in congrcs, who refused to go into the White caucus, and avowed themselves in favor of the democratic nomination for the Presidency, arc re-elected, and it is probable some others favora ble to that nomination may also be returned. They al! declare themselves Jacksomnen except Crockett—but Mr. Bell and his allies, we fancy, are not very sincere. Upon the whole it is now ascertained that the administration majority in the next House of Representatives, (surrendering Mr. Bell and his little squad to the opposition,) will be greater thau it has ever been. It will be at least fortv. —Globe. A Sign.— On Saturday last an election took place for Colonel of the first regiment Georgia Militia. Major Robertson had been annouuced as withdrawn by his confidential agent in Savan na, and the only candidate announced was Lt. Col. Jno. Reaulard. But some of Maj. Robert son's friends started him as a candidate that same therefore as they do iu this category, iu this age of Jeremy Benthamism too, it would do well for those gentry to put the utilitarian cut bono to themseives. As regards the seemingly particu lar relation between the undersigned and the writer of “Crawford,” the undersigued supposing it probable that one of the nullifying presses of Augusta or Milledgeville was the original chan nel of the article, will merely hint to that writer for his information and that of the others of the same political school who may bo disposed to speed similar shafts, that vehicles of sedition tho’ very appropriate media for the circulation of calumnies against the undersigned, are very in appropriate media for the transmission to him of the fact of such circulation; since, as already said, he never sees them, nor hears any thiug a - bout them. Nor has tho communication which appears to have been made to the Savannah Republican by Joseph W. Jackson, been seeu by him—nor will it ever meet his eye or reach his ear, unless it be transplanted in one ofthe Union papers of Geor gia. The piece signed hy the* family of the late Governor Jackson was deliberately read in man uscript by five oat of six of its members, before it went to the printing office; and not a word be- iug objected to by either, it was justly sent out un der the imprimatur of tho Family, uotiu ostenta tion, but surely in self-defence—in defence of their principles aud of those of their desceased head, which bad been wantonly traduced by being de- pited as affiliated with the doctrines of Nullifica tion. No interest would appear to be due to the dissentient piece of Joseph W. Jackson just al luded *o. The public will, doubtless attach such importance, and such only to it as seems fitly to appertain to attempt to exhibit the principles and feelings of nn ancestor by one who, whatever the positi on of his own political views, was at the time of the death of that ancestor, a child.

Shocking Occurrence.—During the late storm, one of the most heart rending occurrences which ever came under our notice, happened upon one of tho small tributary streams of the Allegha ny. On Monday tho I3th instant, between the hours of three aud four in the moruiug, Mr. Fffis Morrison, whose house was situated immediately below tho mill-dam on Sugar Run, in Kinzua township, from the iapid swelling of the stream, became alarmed for the safety of the dam and mill, and considered it necessary to go to the mill and open the waste gate. While he and Mr. Green and his son were endeavoring to perform this service, the dam suddenly gave way, and the water was precipitated upon the housa with such irresistible force, that it was swept from its foun dation instantly, and the wife and two children of Mr. Morrison were buried in the flood. The un happy husband was a witness to the awful sceue, but could not render the least nssitance, so sudden was the calamity. The bodies were found in the afternoon o(*tlie same day.—Warren county “ Voice of the People NOMINATIONS Of the Union Party of Georgia. FOR PRESIDENT OF THE U. S. Martin Van Buren.

It is not enough to disapprove, to condemn, (as we believejthe majority do,) the in- cendiaryism of Tappan, Garrison, Thompson, &. Co.—they must subdue it! The South requires this at their hands. If it is a capital offecco to excite insurrection in one’s own State, it should be so to commit the same crime in a neighboring State. What matters if whether the man who fires my house'shoots his rocket from the insids ofthe yard or the outside ? The iutontiGn is the same, the effect is the same, and the punish ment should be the same. If the North really feels the abhorrence for the abolitionists it protends, let it show its faith by its works : lot it put down the incendiaries—not by mobs and acts of lawless violence, but hy the strong arm of the law. Let the same laws bcc- nacted at the north against the printing, circulat ing and distributing of insurrectionary papers & pamphlets as are in force at the south; & against the assembling togetherof persons for unlawfulpur- poscs, (as the abolition societies be meetings are) & the thing will stop. Postmasters who have as sumed the responsibility of stopping those papers, are deserving the thanks and gratitude of their country. The Postmaster at New York has ac ted with a promptness aud decision aud patriotic feeling on the occasion, deserving all praise. The South will never forget it. We say again, let the North look to it! tho a- bolitionists must bo put down—they must, not be allowed there to ignite and hurl their firebrands into our bosoms. Unless a stop can be put to their infamous proceedings, all ties will be sun dered, and all intercourse between the North & the Sonth must cease! The South will soon be able to manufacture for herself, and to import for herself; and if slave labor is so revolting to the feelings of the free North, let them do with out it. and tho South will look elsewhere for a market. Let the North look to it! It is uot enough for it to cry down the Abolitionists with one corner of the mouth aud wink at them with the other— it must cry them down, and put them down, ef fectually ! The North must be responsible for their good bohaviour, before the South will bo sa tisfied. Who cannot see through the shallow device with which the Nullifiers are endeavoring tod ccive the people ? By professing to s„pp 0rt While, an Administration man, they expect to deceive and seduce some Union men into the <.up port of their ticket, and iu that manner defeat ns in the State Elections. Their conduct rein- inds us of a conversation wo once bcanl of something after this sort: Where have you been, Peter? Bin helpiu Sam. tnassa. And what kept you ? ’Cause, stop to peel mn peaches for det.jn To peel peaches for the pigs! wont the v,- eat peaches without pealing ?

Though profess/dly “peeling peaches” for Judge White, they dexter ously throw the fruit into their own months, and the “skins” to Webster—while White, like Pe ter’s pigs’ gels uothirg. THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE. Tho Whigs, despairing of creating a division in the Republican ranks by running the White horse, have brought auother ung into the field, viz. Gen. Harrison of Ohio, and seem determ ined, by doubling the stakes, to risk every thing on tho race! Judge White in the mean time must take care of himself; having been their catspaw as long as suited their purpose, he must now give place to another. If any thiug was needed to show their utter want of sincerity iu everything, it may be found in their heartless desertion of Judge White, after estranging him from his friends, and parading his name before tho country an object of ridicule and derision to every oue who could sec through their device. It seems as if they were only en. deavoring, by raisiug him so far above bis own ambitioin, to see how low he would siuk when they let him drop! and with the same sort of feeling as mischievous boys carry puppies to the top of a precipice, merely for the pleasure of let ting them fall. The Whig- now have Webster, White and Harrison in the field ; and by the Election they may have one or two more, provided by doing so they are able to detach one vote from the candi date of the Republican party’ PUB2,X>SI£ Macon, Ua. 1st Sept. 183o.
