VAXCr.l’S LKTTri'.. The Hon. \Vm. I*. Yancey has lately taken occasion to place himself rectus in curia upon sundry matters in agitatiou before the recent Montgomery Southern Commercial convention Both he and his friends have probably shared in the conviction, entertained bj' many sincere admirers of his talents, at home and abroad, that tbe excitement nnd urgency of extempo raneous debate, in a body under none of the restraining influences of a direct ofticial res ponsibility, had led him into declarations and positions liable to misconception and misinter pretation, and calculated toeudaugcr his hold upon the confidence of reflecting aud conser vative men. Accordingly, a letter is address ed to him by Mr. Thomas J. Orme, a citizen of his own county, propounding the following inquiries:— 1st. Did you introduce the subject of re-opening the African slave trade in the late Southern Conven tion I 2d. Did you advocate its re-opemng ? 3d. Did volt seek to make that question the issue upon which to dissolve the Union T 4th. What are your views upon the Kansas conference bill ? To the first, second and third of these inter rogatories he responds iu the negative. He declares that he has no matured opinions upon the matter of rc-opcuing the slave trade, but his point was the repeal of the acts of Congress declaring it piracy. He is not in favor of ma king that or any other question an issue of dis union, though, individually prepared for tbe issue. Nor is he in favor of “making up an is sue of condemnation of our representatives for their support of the conference bill.” Wo are pleased to see Mr. \ancey taking such fair aud liberal ground in answer to these interrogatories; but it is bis reply to thejourth, that particularly attracts onr attention, because it is the first argumentative attempt we have seen to justify the common declarations that the Kansas conference bill infracts or impinges upon the non-intervention principle. This is often asserted by the newspapers—was lately declared by a meeting in Scriven county, and the Democratic convention of Florida recently- struck out of their series of resolutions one declaring the bill harmonious with the non-in tervention principle. But we never could com prehend on what ground such declarations were sustained, except it might be on some vague notion that under the non-intervention doctrine Congress was left absolutely without any dis cretion whatever in the admission of new It is a mere figment of the the 28th ult„ of three young men of that place with as many young ladies, students of the Female Col lege.

Indeed, the General owes his success in politi cal life, next to his talents, incontestably great, to his graceful, easy, and conciliatory manners. Would that many of our great men would culti vate ‘ the minor morals more.’ The personal popularity would wait upon eminent aud ac knowledged ability. The United States frigate Cumberland, which was still at Madeira when we last heard from the island, gave the cx- Presideut u grand entertainment on board. He was received with thc customary salute, and each gun of the frigate was answered by the Portuguese fort at Loo Rock ; aud the same imposing demonstration attended his re turn to the shore, which waa crowded with the sympathetic population.” States, and the attempt to set it up, no matter with what object, was an invasion of the prin ciple. But a moment’s reflection will satisfy any one that such a dogma as 'this, if carried into practice, would open wide the flood gates to the grossest abuse and inal-practice, and leave the country defenceless against auy claim or pre tension new States may set up. We under stand thc doctrine of non-intervention by Con gress in the affairs of inchoate States, to have application solely to their political and civil status, and to declare that upon these points within the purview of the Federal Constitution. Congress may not in any way intervene to shape or control the action of their people, or assume to hold them to a responsibility for such action by refusing admission on account of it. But most manifestly, as the Trustee for the States, holding custody and charge of their common interest in thc public domain, it is not only thc right, but the duty of Congress to scrutinize and to adjust the claims of these new States as to boundary—as to grants of the public domain—as to important military posi lions embraced in these grants—and ns to the security of the whole public landed interest lying within their borders, from trespass and inordinate taxation. Mr. Yancey remarks that this last is provided against by the U. S Constitution, which forbids a State to tax the property of non-residents higher than that of residents; but there are few new States of the Union in which such a tax as this provision al lows, would not consume the money value of the public lands to the Government of thc United States in a few years. The Govern ment holds those lands cheaply, opening every inducement for their sale and settlement for thc benefit of the new State, and it is right she should require them to be exempt from taxa tion. Now, what principle of non-intervention, as thus understood, (and it seems to us no one can call thc interpretation in question) was violated by thc Kansas conference bill t It admitted Kansas with her Constitution, as she had enacted it, thus making no issue at all with her upon any point of a political or civil character. But as custodinryof the public lands. Congress refused to sanction certain claims to these lands set up by Kansas, propos ed other grants, and added the conditions that she should not interfere with the sale or disposal of, or tax the remainder. And the bill, fur ther provided that upon the peoplcof Kansas sig nify ing by vote their acceptance of these equit able conditions, they should come into the Union under the constitution they had formed, without further action of Congress. To make out a case iu the teeth of such plain and incontrovertible facts as these. Cob Yancey is driven to all his legal astuteness, ingenuity and research. He says, first, by the Treaty with France, the people of Kansas were guaranteed admission into the Union “as soon as possible according to the principles of the Federal Constitutionand thereupon ho pro ceeds to quote decisions of the Supreme Court iu proof that the3e requisitions and conditions of thc Kansas Bill were not iu accordance with thc principles of thc Constitution. Now these decisions deny (what wc presume nobody will contend for,) thc right of “ eminent domain,” (niuuicipal sovereignty) of the Federal Govern ment over the public lumls in the States, or in tho Territories, except for temporary purposes merely; anil upon the declaration of tho Court that such a grant of sovereignty, if made to thc Federal Government by the State, would bo ‘void and inoperative” because unconstitution al, he goes on to declare that no act of Con gress requiring thc assent of Kansas, or the assent of Kansas thereto, would confer on Congress “ the eminent dowaiu over thc pub lic lands” nor any right incident thereto, and, consequently, the Kansas act act is “void and imperative.” Now Cel. Yancey is an eminent lawyer, aud wc none at all—but wo will uu dertake to say his authority cited does not cov er or touch the poiut in huiul. Does Congress, in this bill, bargain or ask for the niuuicipal sovereignty or auy right incident thereto over the public lands in Kansas 1 On the contrary, she expressly recognizes thc very principle laid down in tho decision cited by Col. Yancey— that the sovereignty belongs to Kansas, and he proposes to bargain with the sovereign for certain privileges or immunities. The propo sition is not in conflict, but in harmony with the decision cited. Kansas, as sovereign, has a right to make the agreement, aud the Fede ral Government, as the proprietor of the lands, has the right to propose aud consummate it oa her part. Where is the claim set up by the Federal Government to “municipal sovereign ty ” in all this ? the brain. But again, as to the condition reserving the undisturbed right of sale and disposal of the public lands, that also was “void and inopera tive," because tbe Supreme Court lias decided that complete proprietary iuterest already vests in the Government, and Kansas could not in terfere in the sale of these lands, more than in those of a private citizen. Well, then, if the provision serves no useful purpose, it is simply supererogatory. It is not in conflict with thc Constitution. As to the tax condition—that, he says, is of thc same character—because the Constitution already provides that no State shall tax the property of non-residents, higher than that of residents. Now, supposing this provision ap plicable to the landed interests of the Federal Government in the new States, we have shown it docs not meet thc nccessitiet- of the case, aud hence Congress lm3 provided in the case, (we believe.) of all recently admitted States, without exception, that the public lands within their boundaries shall bo absolutely exempt from taxation. Now this is the poiut against the bill made by Col. Yancey iu its direct application to tho four conditions prescribed by Congress as pre cedent to the actual admission of Kansas into tho Union. Thc reader will see that there is no force in it at all. It rests simply and sole ly upon the assumption that the Kansas bill sets up a claim to the “ eminent domain" or municipal sovereignty over the public lands— an assumption transparently erroneous But, says Col. Yancey, suppose Kansas should say “nay to all these propositions,” will it bo pretended that Congress could keep Kan sas out of the Union on that account ? That is what the kill proposes to do; aud, in our opinion, very justly. We will not undertake to say what Congress can actually effect with any new State which may factiously, conturnc- liously or greedily refuse all guarantees and ar rangements with tbo Federal Government in regard to the common property interests of the States within her borders ; but we suppose the first dictate of justice and propriety would be to refuse her the privileges of self-government until she should learn to exercise them with more integrity aud discretion. But we have protracted this review beyond all proper bounds. Wc have done so on ac count of thc prominence of Col. Yancey as a public man—the recognized weight of his opin ions, and because his is the first argument wc have seen in defence of the frequent allegation that the Kansas Conference Bill violates the non-intervention principle. We are sure the Colonel has not failed to avail himself of all thc lights aud arguments in defence of this po sition. But how entirely he comes short of sustaining it! It cannot be sustained. The bill iu the light of auy intelligent recognition f the non-intervention principle is unasailablc. Agriculture iu California, An official report of the last annual fair of thc California State Agricultural Society, held at Stockton, is replete with interest, showing, as it does, the wide aud rapid strides which this young Pacific State is making in the develop ment of her extraordinary natural resources.— The following extracts from the report of a committee authorized to Tisit the most noted farms, orchards and vineyards in the State, contain some reference to “ agricultural won ders ” which may well excite astonishment; “Having taken steamer to Sacramento, we reached ‘Hock Farm,’ the present home of the noble pioneer, Gen. J. A. Sutter. This is a fine, healthy location, six miles below Marys ville, on the west bank of the Feather river.— Hock Farm’ has upon it twenty-five hundred grapo vines in full bearing, besides a large number of smaller ones, of many choice varie ties. Also, fire hundred peach, fonr pound fig, fifty pomegranate, and a large number of al mond and olive trees, all in bearing; and twen ty-five hundred trees in nursery. Gen. Sutter has made both wine and brandy, of excellent quality, during thc last year, and in consider able quantities. His grounds are irrigated from a well, sixty feet deep, the water being rabed by steam power, and dbtributed over his grounds by wooden flumes. ‘ Mr. G. C. Yount lives ten miles from Na pa city. His farm comprises thirteen thousand acres, nine hundred enclosed and under cult! vation; seven hundred acres ia wheat, avera ging thirty bushels to the acre; one hundred in grass. Fifty acres has been cultivated to wheat twenty-two years, and produces from twenty-five to fifty bushels to the acre. It the frnit garden are nine thousand grape vines three hundred peach trees; in nursery, two hundred and fifty apple trees—measured a Gloria Mundi’ apple, twelve and a half inches in circumference, mid two months yet to ma ture. Measured u rose bush, nine inches at base, two years old, spreading its lateral branches hundreds of feet over the house. Napa, Sonoma, Santa Rosa, Petaluma, aud the Russian River valleys, just visited, arc well worthy special notice, being the most lovely and picturesque spot6 in thc State; climate, too, being even; mean temperature about 70 deg., reudered humid by tbe sea breezes, which arc partly broken by the coast range of moun tains. These valleys run parallel to each other, aud arc separated by spurs of the coast range, which arc from ouc hundred to one thousand feet in height, covered with a luxuriant growth of red-wood, and several varieties of oaks, pines, maples, and other forest trees, and a great variety of evergreen shrubbery, nnd is one continued stretch of beautiful, romantic, inouutaiu and valley sceuery. unsurpassed.— These valleys will, in a few years, become the great vintage ground of the north, with their wino presses dotting thc plains, and thc vint age time will becomo an important yearly epoch. Mr. E. II. Comstock, eight miles from Stock- ton, has a farm of twenty-two hundred acres. He plows about sixteen hundred acres, two humired of which he thb year summer-fallows, two hundred acres ho mows for hay. One hundred acres has justly yielded its third crop of barley, since plowing or sowing. Two hun dred acres, sowed very late, has yielded three thousand bushels of barley. One hundred acres, sowed last winter to wheat, and eight hundred acres of volunteer, nothing done to it but to ‘bush it in,’ made an aggregate crop of fourteen thousand bushels of clear wheat, an j twenty-five hundred bushels of screeniugs. On Tuesday, September 22.1, visited thc ex tensive establishment of Sansevaine, Brothers. They have fifty-three thousand vines, hand soinely dressed, aud richly laden with fruit They expected to make eighty thousand gal Ions of wine this year. Their eight largo cel lars filled with wine and brandy, present an astonishing picture of rapid wealth. Their grounds arc quite handsomely laid out, aud fenced with growing willows. An arbor, three hundred or more yards long, is covered with grape vines loaded with fruit, which, in addi tion to their elegant flower garden aud six fine fountains, makes their place one of uuusu- al beauty nnd grandeur. This establishment ia yet without it successful rival in this coun try. Business Prospects ol Savannah. A statement in the Georgian of some days ago in relation to the probable discontinuance of a number of business houses in that city, during the present summer, has called forth some severe animadversion by the other prints of the city', ami is retracted by the principal Editor of the Georgian, who was absent at the time it was made. The original paragraph was, no doubt, an honest statement of fact as gleaned by the city reporter of the Georgian, and the public, whose attention has been espe cially drawn to it by the controversy and the retraction, will credit it as such—not because they believe Savannah is “going down,” or is likely to be anything else in the future, than a prosperous and growing city. She has every chance and every inducement to grow. But it is probable that for a year or two past, she may have shot a little ahead of her proper rate of progress and may suffer a slight temporary reaction. This happens occasionally to every place, no matter how prosperous ; aud it strikes us that our Savannah contemporaries have dis played an unnecessary and injudicious sensi tiveness about a statement of this character.— Nobody can reasonably doubt that a brilliant future is before her, should a dozen houses dis continue business in their city. With her iron highways reaching out into the best cotton pro ducing sections of thc South, she is bound to be the depot aud shipping point of vast stores of produce, and receive the merchandize of a great and yearly increasing scope of country, Her case admits of no evil surmisings andprog- nostications.
