In ad dressing you Sir, I am not actuated by any mo. tive of secret hostility. In the private walks of social -ite, I have nevet courted your acquaint ance, or sought your friendship. You stand with me, as affording no p< ivate cause for resentment, or by any acts, entitling yourself o my attach ment, 1 am opposed to you sir, politically. 3 The Board of Health in Charleston report) d f/me nfew case* nf Y*>ilow fever, on the 19th lust.

The General.in-Chief publishes the foregoing fo the army, by direction of the Secretary of War. Accounts from Guayaquil, to the ?6th Anril rerei ed at P vidence, state that great hopes atat anxiety were entertained from the expedi te . in Pent, under Gen. Ito'ivar who wash’ the neighbourhood of TrnXjllo, making speedy preparation u> commence l.ismarch to the south. The Colombian squadron had sailed for the pur- poae f blockading the ports of Upper Peru A pto a'eer under Spanish colours had appeared off Guayaquil and had taken and plundered a On'ch siiip and turned the crew on shore at Cape Blanco,entirely desti'ute; with some other srnal' captures and damages, bat it was believed she had returned to some port at the south. Deports Vi re in circulation that others had been seen or the coast am opposed to you as a candidate fora seat in the Senate, and will assign some among many reasons, in all the sincerity and dignity .of a free, man —No man of the most ordinary intellect, can for a moment be at a loss, to ascertain the cause of your overweening anxiety to be eleot- ted Senator, no reflecting man, can doubt your motive, or question it* object. Can it be, that you intend to lay before an eager and enquiring Senate, a grand and mighty scheme of internal improvement—the melioration of a feeble and disjointed judiciary sy stem, or to rouse to ac tion, the dormant energies of the Senate, by the blaze of your political science, treasured up, on your ridings of the Eastern Cr.cuiti 1 boldly state to you sir, that your solicitude to represent this county, springs from your blind devotion to a declared candidate for the Senate of the United States. It is to advance his "longing ex pectations” that you have unexpectedly obtru ded yourself on public attention. In the month of August last, you declined being a candidate to ref resent the Citizens in Council, and it was universally undeiatood, that you had taken your leave of the turmoils ot public life, determining to pass the remainder of your days, in the uti- uflLtii scenes i f domestic ease, and professional umquihty. but strange to narrate, it appears your unsteadiness has augmented with your y-.arsi and you pres.-nt the strange anomaly of a man of aU—combining within himself, every volatile quality of a uoy of 16.—Cherish not the vain idea that becaust there u not at present an stensible opponent to you, that you will have none—believe me sir, the people see through your designs, and wilt "slop yaur preferment.'* TIMOLEON. It is estimated that there are about 8$ 600 ftowso .pert priu'.ed in the City, of New York ftyery week. The. Cahawha Press, printed at Gahawba, Ala- wiT.ai has changed editors, altered its name to tjia' f "Alabama State Gazette,” and declared in favor of Mr Crawford. Thomas P Lumpkin, Esq the new editor, in hi* address to the public says ;--S‘My preference of Mr. Crawford is founded upon strict attention tp hi» political course for the. last several years j fW m his dignified and manly stand in 1816, up tp the present day; from a conscientious belief t.Mt the country and its interest require his ele. -vat Ion. "As respects the other candidates, they shall m • ivfc impartial justice at my hands; their friends shall stall times have free access to my columns My course shall be firm and indepen dent, though liberal.” Anhtlier, objection ta, that by the open*- jlnm on branchfe* of fruit tiefis, ohiy ;t smiil nnrt of iliesapoi the fruit tree is detained iilriun the roots} but that on the entire cotton plant, the whole must be, until the cortical layers are reproduced, When, therefnie, the bark shall be removed near the tout', of the cotton plant, it *eems doubtful, at least to me, if so general a benefit as \li. Pomeroy seems lb contemplate, will be re alized, even cnli^ht and exhausted soils, where it is most likely to succeed. In the month of August 1819,l published an essay to the Savannah Museum and Ga zette in opposition to an opinion then gett er d y entertained, that the rot was pto- duaed by the action of insects upon the piant. In that Essay I maintained : That the rut had its origin in the uncom mon wet summer of 18ir:‘du>ing which period, the whole plant having been expos ed to an unusually moist atmosphere, and its roots nearly immersed in water; absorb ed ton .great a portion of aqueous matte in its.sap, t , That the subsequent continuance of this disease through dry summers was oo more than the result of hereditary principles;its existence being derived orily from the use of seer’s of diseased plants—In October of the same year, in answer to "Observer” a writer in the Augusta Chronicle; 1 further explained my opinion of the cause and con tinuance of the rot In both of those Essays, I made a dis tinction between thu rot, and the decay that follows, as I supposed, too luxuriant ’hooting or putting out of the plant; and known by the boll wilting and being mo diiurnus while those with the rot were high »y ndnu'ous All my subsequent enquiries and obser- rations have but confirmed me in the opin ion that the distinction should be maintain ed. SHOOTING IN THE CITY. [For the Savannah Republican] pin. F.nrron, We beg leave-to notice through the medium ofyour paper, and to present to the Considera tion of the constituted authorities, the very im proper and dangerous practice of discharging gull's on the South Common, The White Bluff roar is now entirely deserted, and man\ families are deprived of the pleasure of an afternoon's Hdc from the fear that an accident may occur. This evil has frequently been noticed, and should it. be continued, we hope a heavy penal ty will be inflicted, MANY CITIZENS. (Jty an Ordinance of the City Council it is made a penalty of &20 for any person to dis charge fire arms within the limits ofthe City ex ceptincase of military parade. Why is no*, tfpjs ordinance enforced!—En Rev.} [For the Savannah Republican] Mr. Editor, rite publication of Mr. Pomeroy a few we<*k« since, in your paper, on the cause* of the r t in Cotton; with an offer of a patent emvdy, recalled my mind to a subject up on which I formerly bestowed considera ble attention, Mr. Pomeroy believes that the lateral fi bres nf the staple becoming greatly distend- d, or ruptured, while in the green state, by the ab-orp ion of crude aqueous sap; a a morbid action ensues: Attu thus diseas ed, the proximate cause of decomposition may be, a humid atmosphere, or the action of ius-ctv. The patent remedy he offers for a dis ease, so complicated as Ite believes it to be is, theseperatiou of the cortical layers from the Alburnum ofthe plant: and to facilitate the operation he proposes an instrument of bis own ihvention, which he terms a decor- ticator. • It does not readily appenr, how the same disease can be produced by causes so dis si mi liar, as the action of insects. and a hu mid atmosphere; nor how' seperating the cortical layers from the alburnum, would regenerate the plant,if it had absorbed crude aqtienus sap; and likewise operate a cure to the boll or capsule, if wounded by in sects. Mr. Pomeroy evidently had no definite opinion of the causes of rot. The rente dv he off-rs, however, though de-titute of novelty, may be attended with advantage to Colton in some instances, L>ying the alburnum bate of the liber, has been found when practiced on branches of fruit trees, to ericease their quality of fruit.—And since it is generally known that a sameness exists in the physiology of fruit trees and the Cntlnn nlont if mao «<> As a caution against the rot I recom mended a selection of seed for the next year, while picking from healthy plant, on ly; and preserving i’ in u dry cool place. By this precaution, I supposed two or three J earg would eradicate the evil. Although, have seen no cause to change the opin* ions [ then held; yet I am aware bow easy it is to be deceived in the i xamination of a subject of so much intricacy. The doubt, 1 have tmggesiod of the ben efit likely to result fiom Mr. Pome.roy's opergti m have not been to discourage i * trial—on the contrary I hope its utility may be fu'ly tested. But for any reasons now known ; l ahuuld prefer topping the plant, b'dh no light and strong soils, to the use of his decorficator. I cannot speak with the certainty vyhiclt experiment would give; but I think the preference justified by the anal ogy which exists between lopping and the •Tuning offruit trees; and likewise the man ner in which tobacco is tended. And if we ruay trust to the analogy, this method ,f cultivating the plant would both increase the quantity and improve the quality of the staple. The objection to topping by the planter is the labour required aflet wards to destroy the succor*; vet was the growth nt the plant attended to, and a proppr time chosen; I believe but few succors would put out af ter wards. But the most proper time for this can only be determined by frequent experiments; vvhicb from the little personal attention given by owners to their planta tions, are not likely to be. made. It is time for the cotton grower in the U- nited States to be on the alert, now that he has to contend with so great a competi'ion in those of other countries. The encreas* ing amount grown for ten o r twelve years in the B azils, and latterly in Egypt, should open his eyes to the danger he runs uftnosing the entire European Market. If, therefore, he would continue a successful competition ; let him introduce every art that would improve the quality, or enable him to grow a greater quantity with leak labor. For he may be assured, it is only by keeping down the price of his article, that he may hope for the preference. But sh-uld he supinelv trust to nature, and fortuitous incidents unaided by art, he may, while importing goods from Europe,, find himself clothed from the cotton of other countries and his own left to rot on hand. MIRZA. A meeting of Delegates!from the differ- ejrtt counties in Pennsylvania wag held at Harrisburgh on the 9th inst. and an electo ral 'iclfet formed f.ivorable *o the election of W m. H. Crawford, for I res-ident and 4 lbeht Gallatin for Vice President of gl&ited $t&teift fruit trees and the Cotton plant, irwas na tural enough in Mr Pomeroy to hope for the same result on the latter,as had follow ed theoneration on the former. He may not be altogether disappointed in cottou on light arid exhausted soils: For here the plant very generally puts out in the first part ofthe season more dian it can mature. In such a case, the operation (if not made too early) acting a* a detainer, might-aid p rltaps, maturing what otheiwise would necessarily be lost But it must be recollected as an objec tion to the operation, even where this hap pens, that a free circulation ot sap contri butes much tj the heal th of the plant. For although the sap, after being elaborated in the leaves,decprids slowly through the cor tical layers; yet it is as necessary to give strength to the roots, as the blond that re turn* through the vein* to the heart is, to purposes of life in an animal.
