For tho Southern Enterprise. tlninsnick & Florida. Railroad, Messrs. Editors :—Having been appoint ed nn agent to procure additional Stock, and to change the conditional notes for stock t for bona fide stock subscriptions, where it is de sired, for tbe Brunswick & Florida Railroad, allow me to sav a few words upon this subject. Anil first of all, I think, if Thomas County ever intends to do anything in the way of “ma terial aid” in building a Railroad into her ter ritory, it is time she was at it. The Northern part of the Brunswick Com pany, have been steadily at work, complying with their promises, and doing even more than they originally promised, and now have almost fifty miles of the road completed; while we have been quarreling among ourselves, about the “Main Trunk,” “State Aid," and the “in ability of tlie Brunswick Company,” and up to this day wo have paid no money, done no work, —in fact, our whole efforts consist in promises, not one of which lias been fulfilled. Do we ex pect the State, the city of Savannah, the Bruns wick Company North, or anybody else, to build a Railroad into our county without “ma terial aid" from our own hands ? If. so, we shall certainly be disappointed. Sueh a case is not known in the history of Railroads. Let us then away with further wrangling among ourselves, and come up to the help of oursel ves, according to our ability, and a first class Railroad cau be in operation to our own beauti ful town by tbe first day of January, 1859. At present there seems to be no chaucc to bringabout a union between the “Main Trunk” and “Brunswick” Companies, and quite a num ber of strong men along tbo Brunswick line have determined to throw themselves upon their own resources, and go to work—just what they ought have dono long ago. Messrs. Ilays and Jones, from this county, have gone with thirty hands, cast of the Alapa- ha, and entered upon the work of grading, as some from Lowndes and Clinch have done. We hope soon to see others start from our county; wc want at least one hundred hands from this county immediately for the work. Let our large planters curtail their cotton crop —send some hands now, and as soon as the present corn crop is gathered, increase their torcc. Yon can obtain contracts cast of the Alapaha at good rates, one half paid in stock, the other half in cash. And now, to meet the cash promise, wc propose to change our con ditional notes for stock, and take the same amount in bona fide subscriptions, 5 per cent of which will be called for the first day of may next; also wc shall solicit new subscriptions on the same terms. If we can get hands enough on the road immediately, wc may want an additional 5 per cent during the present year; and this will be much easier for us thau to nay the whole amount at ono time. 1 am now prepared to change the condition al notes, and to receive subscriptions for new stock, and earnestly hope that all, great and small, rich and poor, “Main Trunk” or no “Main Trunk” men, will lend a helping hand. Wc help ourselves in this work, more than any one else, and all hands at it, the work will be easily done. And 1 know that what we Jo, mast Le done soon, or all hope oj a Railroad to our County is lost—entirely lost! A word to tbe wise ought to be sufficient; but more anon. Respectfully, P. P. SMITH. Tlie Warrcaton Kailrottd. The Constitutionalist, copying articles from the Macon papers on this subject, adds: Per contra to these discouraging represen tations of the public press of Macon, wc have information from private sources that there is really a great deal of intorest felt by its citi zens in the construction of a railroad which may connect it with Augusta; that it will be represented in the adjourned Convention to be held in this city on the third Tuesday in April, and thnt it will probably give substantial evi dence of its interest in such a road, bv a hand some subscription to its stock. Tlie city is virtually out of debt, (having hypothecated and transferred the annuity which it receives from the railroads connecting within its limits to its bondholders, until the small debt which she owes is paid,) and is in a position to con tribute liberally to the construction of the pro posed road to this city. The only difficulty, we understand, in the way of its subscription to this road, is a conflict of interests and opin ion among its citizens, which divides them be tween a connection with this city and a con nection with Brunswick. The connection with Brunswick ought to be effected, aud doubtless will be in the next ten or twenty years, after the splendid promise of Brunswick has been realized, and a large city at that point of our coast shall offer inducements for a railroad to Macon, and furnish tlie larger portion of the capital ncccessary to build it. This project is just now in its inception and for years must be in nubibus. A railroad to this point, on the contrary, is practicable now—tbe necessity for its construction already exists, and nn interest is awakened in it, in Charleston, in this city and along the lines of its proposed route which, with the proper encouragement from Macon, will result in its completion at an early day. The Brunswick project can wait—must and will wait whatever mny be the interest which is felt in it in Macon. The Augusta project cannot wait, for if nothing is accomplished now, it may never be revived; and tbe friends of the enterprise, at its western terminus, should wake up to the nccersity of prompt aud de cisive action. We differ altogether with our cotemporary of tho Journal Messenger, as we think a ma jority of the citizens of Macon do, in his views in reference to the interest of Macon in this road. It is greater than that of this city, of Charleston, or of any point along its route. Augusta wants it, that she may be able to com pete for tho trade of Southwestern Georgia where the great cotton interest of the State is fast centering—Macon urgently needs it to give freedom to its trade, and relieve it from the embarassments and disadvantages under which it labors, by making it a point where competition in freights shall begin. Inthecx- teution of the Southwestern railroad to Alba ny and Fort Gaines, which have been recent ly provided for, and in which the Journal (y Messenger says that Macon is particularly in terested, she lias not contributed a dollar, cith er f r otn her public treasury, or from the pock ets of her citizens. The road to this city is the only practicable railroad enterprise, which is asking her aid, and there is no other which, when completed, will prove more directly aud immediately beneficial to her interests. Terrible Famine it* Norway, Hundreds dying Daily.—The English pa pers have accounts from Norway, wficb gwl a painful picture of the suffering of the inhabi tants of Lapland and Finland, bordering on the North Cape of Norway.—Owing to a fail ure of the crops, the inhabitants arc in a state of starvation: “ Hnndrods arc dying daily, and the living ate compelled to subsist as they best can, on tlie bark of trees, ground and cooked with onts. In order to alleviate these sufferings, charita ble committees have been organized on the opposite coasts of the Gulf of Bothnia to collect contributions in kind, such as corn, llour, vc- ,'i‘t ibles and spirits, which will be conveyed to across the ice in sledges. As an addition tothe suffering of these poor creatures, the colil is ot a severity rarely experienced even in these icc-bound countries. [From the Southern Cultivator.] Tlie Growth of Cotton in tlie United States and its Manufacture in England. _ One might challenge the industrial statis tics of the civilized world to furnish a more interesting and instructive body of facts than those which would express the progress of cot ton culture in this country, and of its manu facture in England, in the last sixty years. England has had, and still has, the capital, la bor and coal, as well as the industry, enter prise and commerce, necessary to excel all other nations in the cheap and extensive pro duction of cotton goods, aud in finding ade quate markets for the same. History teaches the pregnant fact; nor is it likely that any country will equal her in this important branch of manufacturing industry for many years to come. In the last fifty years, the general in crease of population in the Island of Great Britain has been about 100 per cent.; while on an area of near 220,000 acres surrounding Manchester, the increase during the same pe riod has been 235 per cent., and in Manches ter and 15 other towns within the same area, the increase has been 330 per cent. Consider ing what Great Britain has lost by emigration to her numerous provinces and the United States, the rapid progress of her agriculture, and consequent increased demand for labor therein, and the great commercial prosperity of London, Liverpool and other cities, the growth of the Cotton Manufacturing District of England is without a parallel in the Old World. Congress has endeavored by high import duties on British cotton fabrics, when brought into this country for consumption, to transfer the labor of carding, spinning and weaving cotton from Old to New England; but with indifferent success. On tlie other hand, Parliament lias made no inconsiderable efforts to obtain a full supply of cotton from India, and other countries than tho Southern States, with no better results. Tbe laws of trade are more potent than those of Legisla tures, because they are laws of Nature. The manufacture of cotton, however, is extending in France, Germany, Russia, aud in other Eu ropean nations, ns well as in America. Allow to the two hundred and fifty million people in Europe the same amount of cotton goods per head which it takes to supply the inhabitants of this country, and the consumption of our great staple will be doubled from this increase alone. Can it be produced to the extent it is likely to be needed during the next twenty- five years ? Wc doubt if it can, unless much more free labor is employed in its cultivation than at { iresent. It would be a national misfortune to osc the many advantages secured to the re public by baviug almost a monopoly of this article of prime necessity in clothing mankind. It will ever do more than anything else to save us from the expense and misfortunes of a war with any of the great powers of the Eastern Continent. As a Pacificator the Cot ton Plant is unrivalled. Its power in this re gard will be maintained just in proportion to the dependence of Europe on the United States for a supply of its lint; and our suc cess for the next quarter of a century in fully meeting the European markets will depend on our skill in growing cotton, and maintaining the natural fruitfulness of the soil. It is not enough that wc have an abundance of efficient labor to produce all the cotton the world shall need, in addition to what is raised in other countries. We must have good land in equal abundance before we arc safe from outside competition, and the danger of losing every material advantage we now possess. Very unwillingly docs England depend so much on the Cotton growing States of the American Confederacy for an article so indispensable to her domestic peace and prosperity. Having, however, tried thirty years in vain to supply her wants from other quarters, she is begin ning to make her necessity a national virtue, and to speak more respectfully of the kind of labor xvbich produces her cotton. New Eug- land will ere long do likewise; nor will simi lar influences fail to operate in France and Germany. In a word, people are not apt to quarrel long and earnestly with their bread and butter, nor look with jaundiced eyes at the sources of their wealth, when once understood. With out interfering with other branches of South ern agriculture, we can grow not much over three aud a half million bags, having an aver age weight of 450 pounds. This gives 1,575,- 000,000 pounds. Allowing three pounds of seed cotton to produce one of lint, there must be finger* enough to pick four thousand seven hundred and twenty-five million pounds, as gathered in cotton fields. Allowing that the present low standard of physical comfort with the laboring millions of Europe, and the masses everywhere, is des tined to rise rapidly as compared with the past, it is easy to sec a corresponding increas ed demand for all kinds of cotton fabrics, whether of clothing, bedding or other house hold goods made of cotton, sail cloth, or bags for holding grain and Hour. Looking to the almost infinite variety of uses to which this article may be applied, and its more than probable future consumption, wc arc a little concerned to know where all the fingers arc to come from to pick nine or ten thousand mil lion pounds of seed cotton in the few months allowed to this work in autumn. Possibly they may cotnc in part from Western Africa, from Eastern Asia, from Europe, from the Northern States; but certain wc arc they will como from some quarter when needed. If there is anything in tbe natural attractions of soil and climate, of good government that affords security to life and property, then the South ern States arc destined to be at once tho rich est and most populous part of the christianized world. Our process of reasoning on this sub ject is simple and in this wise : The longevity of the people of the South, their success in growing all tlie valuable plants adapted to the temperate zones, and many that demand the heat of a tropical summer, attest the truth of the remark that the South has a peculiar cli mate, aud one as salubrious as it is extraordi nary for its agricultural capabilities. These arc natural advantages, and will certainly be known in time among all commercial people and nations. Wo show elsewhere, in tho present num ber of the Cultivator, and from reliable sources of information, that the citizens of Georgia are worth per capita 150 per cent, more than the citizens of the State of New York. We do not say that the citizens of our adopted State are more industrious, intelligent, or more eco nomical than those of our native State; but wc do say that one cau raise a crop of wijett* and one of corn in succession on tlie same laud in Georgia, in the time consumed in the growth of either crop in New York. In the last named State it requires the heat of tico summers to produce both crops; in Georgia the heat of one is sufficient. This however, is less than half the advantage which Georgia has over all climates like that of New York. \V inter in Georgia is just cold enough, and just long enough fully to renovate man’s physical aud mental energies, so that he can labor happily and profitably throughout the year. I lace a tropical sun over our heads twelve months m succession, and our cotton crop would soon bo no larger than that of South America. I he recuperating influence ot our Southern winters lias not received that public attention to which it is fairly entitled. itlx what elasticity or muscle, and strength of will are hundreds ot planters, now engaged in preparing the earth to receive its seed, and in committing it to their well-tilled soil ? Their energy has often excited our admiration; and with the smiles of Providence, the cotton crop of 1857 will considerably exceed that of any previous year. L. | From the New York Express ] Slavery Iu our Savior’s Day. “Abolition” being set down as the Christian’s mission in this, our day, and as about his only mission, it becomes often necessary to recall the fact that slavery of the worst sort existed in the Roman Empire in oar Savior’s day, and that he nowhere preached “abolition,” nor civ il nor servile war; but on the contrary, “ser vants obey your masters.” We do not mean to say, our Savior loved or defended slavery, for we have no revelation or reason to say so, and, perhaps, reasons to say the very reverse; bat we do mean to say, Christianity in his day consisted in rendering to Caesar the things that were Caesar’s, and letting civil aud servile in stitutions alone. When Christ was on earth. He rebuked sin of all classes aud kinds, and dared to rebuke the Jewish Priest in his temple, or titled Ro man Gentile, if they were guilty of siu; slave ry was all about Him, neither He nor His apostles ever preached an abolition sermon. The slavery Christ saw daily was that under which a master could sell a slave, work him as many hours as he pleased, or put him to death. A Roman slave could not contract a marriage. His co-habitation with a woman was conluber- nium, and no legal relation between him and children was recognized. A Roman slave could not have property. A runaway slave could not be lawfully received or harbored; to conceal him was J'urrum. The master was entitled to pursue him wherever he pleased, and it was the duty of all authorities to give him aid iu recovering the slave. A person be came a slave by capture in war. A free woman who co-habited with a slave, might be reduced to slavery. The immense number of prisoners taken in tlie constant wars of the Roman Republic, and the increase of wealth and luxury iu the Roman Republic, in Christ’s day, augmented the number of slaves to a prodigious extent. Very many Romans possessed 10,000 and 20,000 slaves. A freed man, under Augustus, who had lost much property in the civil wars, left at his death 4,- 116 slaves. The games of the amphitheatre required an immense number of slaves. The gladiators in Italy, (before Christ, 73,) rose under Spartacus, and were not defeated by the Romans, till 60,000 slaves were said to have fallen iu battle. Slave dealers usually ac companied an army, and frequently after a great battle bad been gained, many thousands were sold at once at very cheap rates. In the midst of this system of slavery was the Christian era inaugurated. Christ preach ed principles which subverted the atrocities of slavery—as of every other system of govern ment, of life—but abolitionism was not his mission. Christians in the Apostles’ day own ed slaves, and considered it no crime to own them. What we mean to infer from these facts is—that if slavery was the sin and crime the abolitionists of this day say it is—Christ saw it iu a worse point of view, and never preached an abolition sermon against it—nev er warred upon the government that recog nized and supported it—but, on tbe contrary, taught obedience to that government. His mission was to briug sinners to repentance, not to concentrate all men’s minds upon the abolition of slavery, nor to divide society, or a country, only upon that issue. If we could only impress upon our abolition preachers of what they call “the Gospel,” the example of Christ when on earth in the midst of Roman slavery—in itself indefensible, be cause of its atrocities—we might perhaps, make them useful in meliorating and chris tianizing African slavery in the United States. The early Christian writers, after Christ’s day, inculcated the duty—not of abolition, but of acting toward slaves as masters in their con dition would be acted by—and thus they did much toward promoting the ultimate extinc- tinction of slavery, or in the end of merging slaves into the adscripli glebae, or serfs of the middle ages. If our Northern Abolitionists would only reason with, instoud of cursing our Southern countrymen, the rights and duties of slaves, husband and wife, might be legally establish ed in our Southern States—divisions of fami lies under executions might be done away with, and a system of education be instituted—but their railing and cursing for twenty years have only strengthened slavery in the United States and drawn tighter the bonds of the master over the slave. Suppose, then, our Abolition Theologians should spend a month or two in studying up the system of slavery Christ and His Apostles saw on earth, when they preached “servants obey your master”— aud “render unto Ctcsar the things that arc Csesar’s”—and when they returned fugitive slaves, as in the case of Onesimus. They have tried the cursing, now, for a quarter of a century, and it has done no good. Suppose, now, they try the Christian creed of “Love one another,” “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you,” etc; and there is no knowing but that you may conquer the world as Christ did. Special Correspondence of tho N. American & U. S. Gazette. Important from Washington. Details of the Mexican Treaty—Disapproved by the Cabinet aud President— Will be re lumed unacted U{>on. Washington Feb. 26. The new treaty with Mexico reached here last night, and was submitted to the cabinet at the meeting held to-day. It consists of four conditions. First, Reciprocity between the United States and Mexico professedly pro Heat ed on the principle of the arrangement with Canada. Second, A loan of fifteen millions of dollars to be secured by the Mexican customs revenues ; eight millious of tho loau arc to be paid to Mexico, four millions to the British bondholders, and three arc reserved for the payment of claims from the United States.— Third. A commission is to bo constituted for the adjudication of American claims. Fourth, A postal convention on the basis of that made by General Gadsden. No territory of any kind is accrued or contemplated, aud no advan tages are proposed not already existing. The whole proposition is considered extraordinary, and the sentiment of the Cabinet, at the meet ing to-day, was very decided against reconiz- ifig it so far as to ask the advice of the Senate. This treaty having been originated by Mr. Forsyth, without instructions of any kind, and bang opposed to the views of the Administra tion, tlni Executive will probably take the re sponsibility of disapproving the act of Mr. Forsyth entirely. Improved ,Postagc Stamps, The Philadelphia Bulletin says : The Post master General has introduced the excellent English method of perforating the lines be tween the postage stamps, so that they may bo torn apart at once without using the scis sors. They have n further advantage in the dfrcumstancu tjmt tlie rough edge thus produc ed make them adhere much more readily to the back of a letter. The machine for mak ing the perforations was procured from En gland,atud tlie contract of the work is given to Messrs. Toppan, Carpenter & Co., of this city. A supply of the perforated stamps lias been furnished to the post otlices of Philadel phia, New York, and other principal cities.” Mr. Iiuclianan’s Reception in Bnl- TlilORK. Tho Hon. James Buchanan and Ifon_. John C. Breckinridge, the President and Vice President elect of tho United States, arrived in Baltimore shortly after ono o’clock to day, and were received with all the honors dno to their high positions. The Com mittee of the City Council left the .city in the eight o'clock train, andmeithe distinguished visitors at the Maryland and Pennsylvania lino, wliero they were welcomed in a neat and appropriate speech by Mr. Hintze, of the City Council, to which Mr. Buchanan briefly responded. On the arrival of tho train at Bolton station, tho car occupied by the Committee and city's guests was detached and drawn by horses down to tho corner of Charles aud John streets, when His Honor, Mayor Swann, was introduced to Messrs. Buchanan and Breckinridge. Mr. Swann in a few words welcomed them to the city of Baltimore; he said he was present as the Mayor of the cilv. and in connection with John H. Seidenstricker aud John F McJilton, Esqs, tho Presidents of two branches of tho City Council, for the purpose of extending to them the hospitalities of the city. He would extend to them a most cordial welcome, aud begged them, daring their sojourn among us, to consider themsel ves the guests of the city- Mr. Buchanan briefly re sponded, making some happy allusions to the city's .present and prospective greatness. The artillery from Fort McHenry were on the ground and, as the party drew near, a detachment from it tired a salute. As soon as the reception cere monies were concluded, a procession was formed and moved down Charles street to Baltimore, and thence through Calvert street to the City Hotel. By order of the Mayor, the streets through which the procession passed was cleared of vehicles of every description, aud a largo police force was in atten dance to preserve order, which they did most effec tually. The flags of the shipping, and on many of the pub lic buildings, havo been displayed throughout the day. The streots through which the procession pas sed was filled with spectators, while the windows along the route were crowded with Baltimore's fairest daughters, and amid the animating strains of music, the waving of handkerchiefs, the shouts of welcome, and the loud hurrahs, the scene was one well calculated to fill the heart with pleasure. We think the reception of to-day cannot tail to produce a pleasing impression upon the distinguished gen tlemen in whose honor it was heartily gotten up. It goes to prove that, under all eircnmstances, no mat ter who may rule tbe destinies of our glorious Ke- tmblie for the time, Baltimore is ever true to the Constitution, the Union, and the chosen administra tors of the laws. He reached the hotel at about half past two o’clock, and was met by Mayor Swann and the Presidents and members of the two branches of the City Coun cil. After a few moments spent in the interchange of friendly greetings, Mr. Buchanan announced hts intention to proceed immediately to Washington by the three o'clock train, and immediately proceeded to the depot in carriages, which were in waiting, ac companied by Zenos Barnum, Esq., R. M. Magraw, Esq., and the ladies of his family. On reaching the depot, the President elect was ta ken in charge by W. l*rescott Smith,_ Esq., and other officers of the Company, and a magnificent new ear, in readiness for tne occasion, was attached fo tho train then ready to start, and in a few minntes he was on his way to Washington, where the telegraph in forms us he arrived at quarter before five o’clock, aud reached his hotel before his arrival in the city was known. From the Southern Cultivator. Worlt for tlie ITIontli-—(March.) THE PLANTATION. Provision Crops and Provender.—Put in, as soon as the season will allow, an abundant supply of Corn, Irish and Swoet Potatoes, Spring Oats, early Cote Peas, Millet, Donra and common Corn (broadcast and in the drill, for fodder,) Lucerne, in drill, Ace., See. The Chinese Sugar Cane should also be planted and still farther tested as a Syrup plant. For particulars of making. Ac., see pamphlets sent per mail by the agents. In preparing for yonr regular Coru crop, plow or snbsoil your land 10 to 12 inches deep (15 inches would be far better) manure heavily anti plant early. Do not lose a moment after the danger of late frost is over. As soon as you have finished the planting of Com and other provision crops, prepare for Cotton, re specting which are various articles in present and former numbers. Street Potatoes should now be bedded out and pro vision made for an abundant supply of “ draws.” No crop cultivated in the South is more worthy of atten tion than the sweet Potatoe. It is one of the most valuable crops for man or beast, and no planter should fail to have full “ banks” at the setting iu of tho winter, even if ho does not make a “ big crop" of Cotton. The Ifayti (white) Yams, the Yellow Yams, and tho lied “Negro Killers’’ (so called) are all fine and productive varieties. Jrtsh Potatoes should be planted in drills 3 feet apart and covered with a thick layers of pine straw or leaves, as heretofore directed. Chinese Sugar Cane should also be sown plentiful ly during tbe present and the next two months, for S -een and dned forage. Plant the Chinese Sugar ane seed far away from all plants of the Millet fami ly, such as Doura Corn, Ac. Also, sow Lucerne, "Chilian Clover. We prefer tho drill system—land deep and rich—for these crops. THE KITCHEN GARDEN. If you have over-wintered Cabbage plants, set them out now. Sow more Cabbage seed to head in tlie summer. Flat Dutch is the best. Thin out Tur nips, as soon as they have four leaves; leaving them at tho distance of six inches apart; and sow more Turnip seed; Early White Dutch and Red Topped Dutch aro the host for spring use. If you did not sow Onion seed (black) last month, do it at once ; they will come into use in the latter part of summer, when all that were raisud from setts or bettons aro g one. If you did sow Black Onion seed in Septcm- er, it can now be transplanted. Sow Carrots, Beets, (“ Extra Early” is the finest) Parsnips, Salsify, Ijct- tnce. Redishes, Thyme, Parsley, and h’ape (for early greens.) Plant all in rows 15 inches apart Sow, also, a little spot with Celery and protect them from the sun. When Cherry trees are in bloom plant Snapbeans-, and when Apple trees aro in flower plant Squashes (Scallop Squashes is the best) in hills 3 feet apart; also. Cucumbers, and Mnshmelons 6 feet apart; the Nutmeg and Citron Melons are very fine and the earliest ^Berchteood Melon is very superior, bat a little later. All vines are greatly benefitted by guano or poultry mauuro. At the same time, also, sow Okra, Tomatoes and Egg Plants. Hill up Rhu barb. Asparagus will now begin to sprout; don’t suffer tiny to ritn up to seed, but ent all down. Cab bages, which have been set out, and aro starting to grow, should once a week have a watering of liquid manure—a shovelful of chicken manure, dissolved in 10 gallons of water, will be found an excellent fer tilizer for them. All vegetables, that already have a start, should havo a good hoeing by tho latter part of this month. Plant a tull crop of English Peas, as.heretofore di rected. THE ORCHARD AND FRUIT GARDEN. If you havo not finished pruning your orchard, do it at once, omitting only such trees as are growing too luxuriantly to bear. Such ought not to Be prun ed until the leaves are pretty well sprouted. By this method, such trees will get checked and go to bear ing : should, however, this late pruning not be suffi cient, givo them another severe pruning in tho mid dle of July; that will provo satisfactory. As soon as the trees are beginning to bloom, hang up a number of wide-mouthed bottles, half filled with molasses-wnter, in your trees—you will catch a § reat number of iusects and thus prevent them from oing injury to yonr fruit. THE FLOWER GARDEN. Propagate Dahlias as soon as von can see tho sprouts or buds ; with a sharp knilo split tho stem right through, leaving a piece of tiie stein and ono or two buds on each piece; plant them .so deep as to be covered with at least 4 inches of soil. Tie up nil your flowering plants to stakes; the wood ot tho China tree, when splintered out, furnish tho best aud most durable stakes where Cypress cannot be had- If annual flower seed ha * not been sown yet, it should bo done at once. Recollect, that flue seeds will only need to be covered slightly. If covered deeply, they will not sprout. The Impeachment of Coroner.Connery, —Gov. King’s order, relative to this Coroner, directs that a judge of the Court of Common Pleas shall bear the complaints, take testimony in tho ease, and then seu.l the papers to the Governor for his decision. No day lias as yet been set for the commencement of the hearing. The District Attorney will be present at the investigation. It is said that a number of petitions have been numerously signed by respectable citi zens, requesting tlie Coventor to remove Coro ner Connery from office.—N. Y. Express. Overland Mail to California. By the amendment to the Post-office bill which recently passed the Senate, provision is made for the conveyance of the entire letter mail from Mississippi to San Francisco, in four- horse coaches, ata cost not exceeding $300,000 per annum for semi-monthly ; $450,000 for weekly, or $600,000 for semi-weekly service ; the contractors to have the right of pre-emp tion to 320 acres of land at each point neces sary for a station, which are not to be nearer Ilian ten miles from each other. JOHN TAYLOR, The Timon of the Backwoods, Bar and Pulpit EV CHARLES SUMMER FIELD. I can never forget my first vision of Jolm Taylor. It waa in the oouit-house at Lcwisburg, Conway County, Arkansas, in the summer of lc3i. The occasion itself possessed terrible interest. A vast concourse of spectators had assembled to wit ness the trial of R young and beautiful girl, on an in dictment for murder. Tbe Judge waited at the mo ment for the sheriff to bring in his prisoner, and tho eyes of tho .impatient multitudo all centered on tho door,when suddenly a stranger entered, whose appear ance riveted universal attention. Hero is his portrait— a figure tall, lean, sinewy, and straight as an arrow; a face sallow, billious, and twitching incessantly with nervous Irritability; a brow broad, soaring, massive, seamed witli wrinkle- but not from age. for ho was scarcely forty eyes reddish yellow, like the wrathful eagle, as bright and piercing ; and finally, a mouth with lips of cast-iron —thin, curled, cold and sneering, the intense expres sion of which looked the living embodiment of an un- breathed curso. He was habited in a suit of new back-skin, ornamented after the fashion of the In dian costume, with hues of every color of tho rain bow. Elbowing his way slowly through the crowd, and apparently unconscious that lie was regarded ns a phenomenon, needing explanation, this singular be ing advanced, and, with tho haughty air of a king as cending tho throne, seated himself within the Dar, thronged as it was with tho disciples of Coke and Blackstone, several of whom, it was known, esteem ed themselves as far superiorto these old and famous masters. Tho contrast between tho outlandish garb.and dis dainful countenance of the stranger excited, es pecially, tho risibility of the lawyers, and the junior lnembt'rs began a supressed titter, which grew loud er. and swept around the circle. They doubtless supposed the intruder to be some wild hunter of the mountains, who had never before seen tho interior of a hall of justice. Instantly the eauso and object of tho laughter perceived it, turned his head gradually, so as to give each laugher a look, liis lips curled with a kindling smile of infinite scorn; his tongue protruding through his teeth, literally writhed like a serpent, and ejaculated its sap-liko poison in a single word: ••Savages I” No pen can described the defiant force which he threw into that term; no pencil can point tlie infer nal furore of his utterance, although it hardly exceed ed a whisper. But he accented every letter as if it were a separate omission of lire that scorched his quivering lips; laying horrible emphasis on S, both at the beginning and end of the word: “Savages!” It was the growl of the red tiger in the hiss of the rattle-snake. “Savages !” The general glare, however,, was immediately di verted by the advent of tho fair prisoner, who then came in, surrounded by her guard. The apparition was enough to drive a saint inad. For her's was a style of beauty to bewilder the tamest imagination, aud melt the coldest heart, leaving in both imagina tion and heart a gleaming picture, enameled in fire and fixed in a frame of gold from the stars. It was the spell of an enchantment to be felt as well as seen. You might feel it in the flash of her counte nance, clear as a sunbeam, brilliant as the iris; in tho contour of her features, symmetrical as if cut by the chisel of an artist; in her hair of rich auburn ringlets, flowing without a braid, softer than silk, finer thau gossamer; in tlie eyes, blue as the heaven of a southern summer, large, liquid, beamy; in her motions, graceful,swimming, likethegentle waftures of a bird’s wing in the sunny air; in tho figure, slight etherial, sylph's or a seraph’s; and more than all, in the everlasting smile of light, and yet possessing the power of magic or of magnetism to thrill the behold er’s heart. As tbe unfortunate girl, so tastefully dressed, so incomparable as to personal charms, calm aud smil ing, took her place before the bar of herjudge, a mur mur of admiration roso from tbe multitude, which the prompt interposition of the court, by a stern or der of “silence,” could scarcely repress from swell ing to a deafening cheer. The judge turned to the prisoner: “Emma Miner, the court has been informed that your counsel, Col. Linton, is sick. Havo you em ployed any other?” She answered in a voice as sweet as tho warblo of the inightugale, and as clear as the song of the sky lark : My enemies have bribed all tho lawyers, even tny own, to be sick ; but God will defend tho innocent!” At this response, so touching in its simple pathos, a portion of the auditors buzzed applause, and tho rest wept. On the instant, however, the stranger, whoso ap pearance had previously excited such meriment, start ed to his feet, approaching the prisoner and whisper ed something iu her car. Site bounded six incites from tho floor, uttered a piercing shriek; and then stoood tremb'.iug as if in the presence of a ghost from eternity; while the singular being who had caused her unaccountable emotion, addressed the conrt in his sharp ringing voice, sonorous as the sound of bell-metal. “May it please you honor, I will assume the task of defending the lady.” “What!" exclaimed the astonished judge, “aro you a licensed attorney I” “The question is irrelevant and immaterial,” re plied the stranger, with a venomous sneer' “as the recent statute entitles any person to act as counsel at tho request of a party.' “But does the prisoner request it ?” inquired the "Let her speak for herself,” replied the stranger. “1 do,” was the answer, as a long drawn sigh es caped, that seemed to rend her very heart-strings. The case immediately progressed; and as it had a tinge of romantic mystery wo will epitomise the sub stance of the evidence. A bout twelve months before, the defendant had ar rived in the village, aud opened an establishment of millinery. Residing in a room connected with her shop, and ail alone, sho prepared the articles of her trado with unwearied labor aud consummate taste. Her habits were secluded, modest and retiring, and hence she might have hoped to avoid notoriety, but fur tho porilous gitt of that extraordinary beauty, which too often and to the poor and friendless always proves a curse. She was soon sought after by all those tiro ilie3 of fashion, the profession of whose life, every-where, is seduction and ruin. But the beautiful stranger rejected them all with unutterable scorn and loathing. Among these rejected admirers waa one of a character from.which the fair milliner had everything to fear. Hiram Shore belonged to a family, at once opulent, influential and dissipated. Ho was himself licentious, brave and ferociously re vengeful— tho most famous duelist of tho South west. It was generally known that he had made advances to win tho favor of tho lovely Emma, and had shared tho fate of all other wooers—a disdainful repulse. At nine o'clock on Christmas night, 1837, tho peo ple of Lcwisburg were startled by a loud scream, as of one in mortal terror; while following that, with scarcely an interval, came successive reports of fire arms. They llowto tho shop of thu milliner, whence tlie sounds proceeded, pushed back tlie unfastened door, and a sceno of horror was presented. There she stood in the center of the room, with a revolver in each hand, every barrel discharged, her features pale, her eyes flashing wildly, but her lips parted with a foarful smile. And there at her feet, welter ing in his warm blood, his bosom literally riddled with bullets, lay the all dreaded duelist, Hiram Shore, gasping ill Ills last agony. Ho articulated but a sin gle sentence : “Tell n:y mother that I am dead and gone to hell!” and instantly expired* "In the namn of God who did this ?” exclaimed tho appalled spectators. “I did it,” said tho beautiful milliner; "I did it to save my honor!” As may readily he imagined, tlie deed caused nn intense sensation. Public opinion, however, was di vided. Tho poorer classes crediting the girl's ver sion of tlie facts, lauded her in terms of measureless eulogy. But tho friends of the deceased, and ofliis wealthy family, gave a different and a darker color ing to the affair, and denounced the lovely homicide as an atrocious crimnaL Unfortunately for her, tho officers of the law, especially the judge mid sheriff, were devoted comrades of the slam, and displayed their feelings in a revolting partiality. The judge committed her without the privilege of bail, and the slierilf chained Iter iu the telons' dungeon. £5uch is a brief abstract of all the circumstances de veloped iu tlie examination of witnesses. Tho testi mony closed and the pleading began. First of all, three advocates spoke in.succession for the prosecution ; hut neither their names nor Yhelr arguments are wortii preserving. Orators of tho blood and thunder genus, they about equally parti tioned their howling eloquence betwixt the prisoner and her leather-robed counsel, os ifiu doubt who of tho twain was then on trial. As for thu stranger, ho seemed to pay not the slight est attention to his opononts, but remained motion less, with his forehead bowed on his hands, like one buried in deep thought or slumber. At the proper time, however, he suddenly sprang to his feet, crossed the bar, and took his place almost touching tho jury, lie then commenced in a whis per, hut it was a whisper so mild, so clear, so unutter ablv ringing and distinct, as to fill the hall from door to galleries. At the outset he dealt in pore logic, separating and combining the proved facts, till the whole mass of composed evidence looking transpar ent as a globe of glass, through which the inno cence of the client shone, brilliant as a sunbeam ; and the jurors nodded to each other signs ot thorough conviction ; that thrilling whisper and fixed concen tration, and the language, simple as a child s, had convinced all. He then changed his posture, so as to sweep the bar with his glauee and began to tear and rend his Advertisements at the regular charge will bo One Dollar per square of Ml lines or less, for the first in sertion, and Ffty Ceu's fi.r each subsequent inser tion.

The whole speech occupied out an hoar. The jury rendered a verdict of “not guilty,” with out leaving the box, and three cheers, like succes sive roars ofan earthquake, shook the old court-bouso from dorno to corner-stone, testifying tlie joy of tho people. After the adjournment, which occnred near sunset, tho triumphant advocate arose and gave an appoint ment : "I will preach in this bail to-night at eight o'clock.” He then glided on through the crowd, speaking to no one. though many attempted to draw him into conversation. At eight o’clock the court house was again throng ed, and the stranger according to promise, delivered his sermon. It evinced the same attributes as his previous eloquence at tbe bar; tho s.uno burning vehemence and increas' d bitterness < t di nun lath.!:. Indeed, misanthropy revealed itself as the prominent emotion. Tho discourse was a tirade against infidels, in which the preacher seemed to include everybody but himself; it was a picture of hell such as Lucifer might have drawn, with aworld in flames for his pen cil. But one paragraph pointed to heaven, and that only demonstrated the utter impossibility that any human being should ever get there. Farther From Kansas. The Late Affray, Louisville, Feb. 27.— Wc have farther advices frotn Kansas in rela tion to tlie attack upon Gov. Geary. It ap pears that Sherrod was a candidate for sheriff of Douglass county, hut that the adroitness of Gov. Geary’s private secretary prevented him from securing the office. Sherrod was, in con sequence, much excited, and the next time lie met the secretary lie dealt him several blows, felling him to the ground. No steps being taken to resent this insult, Sherrod soon after approached the Governor himself, and shook his fist in his face, and denounced him with oaths. There is no confirmation of the rumor of Sherrod having been shot, but the settlers were about to take immediate measures to in flict punishment. Sliottld the Legislature take sides with Sherrod, it is feared there will he a renewal of hostilities between pro-slavery and frcc-Statc parties. Entrance of Sunnier in tlie Sosiatc. A despatch from Washington, dated tho 26th ult., says: “Mr. Sumner appeared in his seat at 2 p. in. He was warmly welcomed by his friends, but was not accosted by a sin gle Southern Senator. Mr. Butler gn*pd at bitn'and wiped Ins eyes, evidently at the thought of Mr. Brooks.” The Lemon slave vase in which the State of Virginia has resolved to test the legality of certain proceedings of the New York Courts, in regard to slaves carried to the latter State by a citizen of the former, came up for a hear ing in New York city, Wednesday last, hut was postponed by consent of counsel till the May term.
