Apology.
We were obliged to postpone publishing
our last issue until Thursday morning,
which we regretted very much. The cause j
of delay was that our roller, on account of!
the warn) weather we had last week, melt

did not receive their paper at as early u
day as usual, will accept this apolfigy for
we wish to be prompt.
The Heather.
It is very dusty iu our sleets which is
an indication of dry weather with us. We
have heard farmers say that thisdiy weath
er is very injurious to the wheat, especially
at this period of its growth. We hope
soon, however, to have rain, and an abund
ant wheat crop.
Our City Election.
The election ot Mayor und Aldermen

The municipal election in Augusta the

Old John Brown Turned up Agaiu.
A late number of Andrew Jackson Da
vis’ Herald of Progress contains a com
munication purporting to come from the
spirit of Old John Brown through a “me
dium” at Middle Granville. The New
York “Dispatch” thinks it will be a conso
lation to the Southerner to hear that the
old fellow now says emphatically that be
is convinced of his error in making-his
raid on Virginia. Hear him :
‘•I know I was rash in insurrection. I
know I did uot realize my peculiar condi
tion. Light has given me power to see
this : that God lias r,o prerogativesto work
as I expected. Therefore was J deceived.
I thought it was right. But let me 6ay
that it was not right. No leagued designs
of murder or forcible means can remove
Slavery.”
The friends of the “peculiar institution,”
says the Dispatch, are therefore safe.—
The price of negroes will doubtless go up
as soon as this pronunciamento becomes
generally known among the owners of this’
description of property.

fore for Bog Cholera.
Gree.nksboro, Ga., April 1860.
Editor Planters’ Weekly :
I think I can give your readeia a reme
dy that will stop the Hog Cholera, and
other diseases now killing off so manv hogs
through the eoantry. Give them dry are
nic in a little dry corn-meal; say, one tea- i
spoon-full of arsnic to 10 grown liogs— j
give it every morning tor three or four,’
then every other morning for a week or ten 1
days, then twice a week for a time. See
that the poison is equally divided among
the hogs—keep all hogs from lying in ma
nure heaps or dry dust and litter, to keep
off the mange or liog measles.
. Truly Yours,
/ J no. Cunningham.
Mr. Cunningham says lie has tried the
above on several occasions, and found it to
be an effectual remedy for the cholera. In
one instance, he informs us that the hogs
were so bad off that they refused to eat at
all, but after working with them and get
ting them to swallow a little of the arsnic
they began to improve, and very soon after
were perfectly well.
Here is something that is worth trying.
Will not some of onr farming friends who
are daily loosing their hogs, give it atrial 1
aud test its virtues.
Ertraets from a private letter written,
by a native Georgian, who now re
sides iu Louisiana.
Monroe Lou’siana.
Louisiana is truly a good couutry,
so partial am I to it, that it I follow my
own inclinations, I shall make it my per
manent-home. Its natural resources are
great. The capacity of its soil to produce
those great staples, cotton and sugar, is not
surpassed. Tlie most of the lands also
produc*t Indian corn well, but uot so well
as some of the Western States. This is
owing to the climate, not to soil.
Wheat has lately been introduced upon the.
“uplands” in this section, and seems to
grow tolerably well, when the seasons
suit. I suppose Oats, Rye, Barley and
Millet would no well here. The garden
vegetables grow remarkably well. Apples,
Pears, Quinces &e do not grow well, but
most oi the lands produce good peaches.
To produce an abundant crop of peas'and
potatoes,*we have only to put them in the
ground well.
There is a great difference m the quali
ty pflandshere. The Ist quality is tim
bered with large gum principally, has
black loose soil, from 6to 15 feet deep,
and is very level aud sufficiently dry to
cultivate without being ditched, however
ditching it a great advantage to it, as it is
to any land, i will uot tell you hew much
this class of land will produce, for you
may doubt my veracity. The 2nd class
is timbered wUh small gum, big-hud Hick
ory, and large red oak principally, inter
spersed with Sassafras, large Grape Vines
&c. This quality will produce from a hale
to a bale and a half per acre of cotton, and
from 40 to 50 bushels of corn, with toler
ably good seasons. The 3d class is tim
bered principally with red oale, white oak,
ruf barked Hickory with some large long
bodied pines, and also maple, dogwood, &c,
The 4th class is timbered chiefly w ith pine;
this quality is a -little rolling, and will
yield a decent support, if well cultivated.
The lands here generally, are very level
and need ditching. On any of the lands
except the 4th quality, a good farmer nev
er expects his crop to yield less than 12
Bales of cotton per hand, and I have fre
quently known 14 and 15, 400 pound
Bales made to the hand; 12 and 13 are
ordinary crops for “crack” farmers. All
do not do so well, however.
On the Ist quality of lands the rows of
cotton must be from 10 to 12 feet wide; on
the 2nd quality from 6 to 8, and on the 3d
from 4 to 6.
The prices of land vary from $1,25 per
acre to $50,00 and some perhaps, could
not be bought for less than SIOO,OO per
acre. The high priced lands, are those
which are well improved, and have the
best soil. By high pric’d lands, I also
mean those which could not be bought for
less than from SSO to SIOO per acre. Some
of tbesb high priced places have been im
proved over a hundred years, have nofa
stump on the cultivated land, and produce
a Bale nnd a half per acre of cotton, and
fiom 50 to 75 bushels of com, that is, when
they have good seasons. The lands which
mtfY he purchased for $1,25 per acre be
long to the State, and are of necessity
swamp or overflowed lands, that is they
were returned by the Surveyors as such,
though they may not have overflowed in
20 years; *hat they were once overflowed
is sufficient to constitute them the proper
ty of the State. They are the best unen
leied lands we have and afford bodies
of sufficient size, and dryness (with ditch
ing) to make good and desirable planta
tions.
With rega'd to the foundation of lands
here, the Ist class, has almost none at least
|it is hard to find it; the 2nd class has a
! pale yellow clay mixed with sand, the 3d
class has a clay a little reder than that of
the 2nd and less sand. The clay of the
4th is ted and close. •**••*•• As
regards water, that is afforded by wells in
this section, though, out in the “pine hills” j
there are springs. There is a stratum of;
quick sand underlying the lands in this J
country in all parts, about the same depth
from a straight linn as I ’suppose, but va*
! Tying So the depth from the turjace, as the
surface varies hi deration. Our water is
excellent, that on the 3d and 4th classes
of land cannot be excelled. The water on
the Ist and 2nd classes is considerably im
pregnated with lime, but is very cool, and
healthy ; at first the lime iri unpleasant to
to the taste, but one soon gCts accustomed
to it, and will like this water very much.
With respect to the health of

The Bank Robbery—E. R. Ilo’mes Ar
resiesi—The Money Found.
The money stolen from the agency of
the Marine bank .if this city, amounting to
forty-five thousand dollars lias been found,
with the exception of the small sum of two
thousand dollars. On Wednesday eve
ning suspicion rested upon Mr. E. B. Uol
mco, book-keeper in the Marine bank agen
cy, from the fact that h<> had been gam
bling to a considerable extent for months
past. He was watched during the night,
of the 11th inst., and was seen to leave his
lesideuce about nine o’clock and enter a
lane ; was lost sight of for a time, but was
again discovered passing Judge Crawford’s
ou his way to the Ferry House.
Yesterday morning, a negro passing
along the road leading to tlie Orphan
Asylum, at an early hour, discovered a
large package of money near a small bridge,
lie immediately delivered tlie money to
Masiial Hughes, who, counting it out with
the agent, Mr. Bowers.iouud that it con
tained the sum of thirty tlibnsatid five hu’u
'Sved dollars in the bills lost by the bank.
The officers of the bank sent for Mr. Hol
mes, and endeavored to obtain from him a
confession of his guilt, and the names of his
accomplices. Mr. ilolmes, hovyever. per
sisted in declaring bis innocence, and wn&ld
uot confess his complicity umil told that hg
would be obliged to go to jail, and no one
would be his bondsman.
Without acknowledging his own guilt.
Mr. Holmes then directed one of the of
ficers of the bank where tlie balance of tlie
money could be found. On looking-he
neath the steps of Mr. John Alien’s work
shop, near the residence of Mr Holmes,
the point designated by Mr. Holmes, a
package of twelve thousand five hundred
dollars was discovered, making, in all re
covered, something over forty-three thou
sand dollars. Mr. Holmes wes arrested
on the oath of the Cashier, and hound over
in the sum of two thousand five hundred dol
lars.
Mr. Bowers, tlie agent of the Bank, was
indefatigable in his efforts to ferret out the
robbers. McGibbou of Montgomery and
Marshal Hughes were also very active, nnd
much credit is due them.
Mr. Hunter, the cashier of the bank f

in their efforts to ferret out the tiausaetiou.

Owen Stanley, (be Gipsy King.
Owen Stanley, the recognised leader of j
a large baud of Gipsies in this country, j
diedaftLort time since at Madison, lud. t j
and his remains were taken to Dayton for i
interment beside those of Harriet Owen,
a Gipsy Queen who was buried there some
two_years ago. The ceremonies were an
nounced to have taken place with great
pomp, and roving bands of this singular \
people were gathering at Dayton in all j
directions to participate iu the funeral cer- !
eniopies, which were to boos a curious
aud imposing character, becoming the iu
terroent of oeceased royalty.
In noticing the fact of his death, we ob
serve that the papers make no remark upon
the character, life, aud personal history of
the deceast and.
Tlie “Gipsy King,” Owen Stanley, and
Ins numerous family, have frequently vis
ited this part of Pennsylvania, aud we
know them well. The government of this
peculiar people, among themselves, is
putriaichal—the oldest member of the
tribe or family receiving peculiar rever
ence and implicit obedience from all its
members.
1 he Stanley family of Gipsies, of which
Owen was tlie patriarch, chief, or king,
came to America some seven or eight years
ago from England, by way of Canada.
Ihe Gipsy King was the father of seven
teen children, all of whom, we believe,
are in America and living. These, with
their descendants, number about two hun
dred persons. They still keep up their
noiuadic. Gipsy mode of living, travelling
| from place to place, in bands, subdivided
j according to circumstances. The tribe is
possessed of considerable wealth in horses,
wagons, .and money, the latter of which
they are not averse to loaning to persons
io whom they have implicit confidence.
Knowing themselves suspected, they are
j naturally a .suspicious people, but when
I'oncp their confidence is acquired they are
! free hearted, open handed, and jovial. In
hili matters of practical life they are well
informed. They drive a sharp, bargain,
arecantious and prudent, and we can sav
that the Stanley family have proved them
selves honest, for in all charges made
! against them., which are not frequent, they
insist upon investigation and come out tri
l umphunr. \V e recollect that at one time,
j when in this city, a man from Ohio swore
positively to the ownership of ahorse
[ width was in tlie possesion ot a member of
f the tribe and offered for sale at the horse
! market, and lie was arrested. After he
i had, In questioning and cross-questioning,

i of proceedings for a couple of days, nd
j not only proved ids iegal ownership in the
dorse but also that the man who was said
t<. have been its owner still had his own
horse.
When the Stauley tribe first came to
this country the father and mother remain
ed in England, and joined their children
in this country at the request of their son
•’Levi Stanley,, who sent to England a t ln>us*
! and dollars so aid them and some of the
ppAtttr members of the tribe to come to the
United Stales.
The old man had many valuable ai ti
des which had descended to him frem his
ancestors, and which ho desired to preserve
as relics ot the olden time. They were
silver cups, aud silver quarts or tankards,
which had been presented to various mem
bers of the tribe by English noblemen and
gentlemen, as rewards for feats of agility,
strength, running, jumping, dancing, &c.
When encamped upon large common
grounds belonging to the nobility and gen
try of England amusements of this sort
were common, but,by an act of Parliament
passed about twenty years ago these
grounds were enclosed, and the camp
grounds and the grazing of the Gipsies,
like the hunting grounds of our Indian
.tribes, were taken away from them. This
fact together with the fear that the young-’
er members of the tribe might he impress
ed for the Russian war, induced the Stan
leys, together with several other gipsy
tribes, to emigrate to America, where they
cmild find plenty of room without being
regarded as trespassers.
When the Stanleys resolved to come to
America, one and all, the question arose
as to how they should convey the family
relics above, spoken of, which-weve numer
ous, and, being of silver, valuable. They
feared that both in England aud in this
country the popular prejudice which sets
down the gipsy as a thief might induce the
authorities to sieze them, under the sup
position that thigy were stolen, and that
thus they might be put to trouble and de
lay, or might lose, their cherished treasures
altogetLei. They accomplished the affair
with true'gipsy cunning. Purchasing a
eask of liquor, they secretly placed the
silver ware in it, wrapped up so as to dead
eu the sound, and then entered their liquor
for regular exportation at the cUbtom house,
‘l’lie cask and its valuable contents came
safely through official hands, and the liq
our was uninjured by the valuable deposit
which it continued. The family are still
iu possession of these lelics, which they
regard as heir looms to be handed down
to future generations.
Owen Stanley, at the time of his death,
was about eighty years of age. He was of
very small stature —only about five teet
two inches in height—but little and active
as n cat, notwithstanding his advanced
age. When encamped in the vicinity of
Pittsburg, at East Liberty, last year, he
could leap from the ground upon the back
of the laig'-st sized horse as neatly as ever
Eaton Stone, the circus-rider, could do.
The whole tribe are remarkable for tbeir
longevity and for their robust health,
■ show ing that tho nomadic life, with all its
discomforts, as we dwellers in cities would
! esteem :hem, is conducive to sound bodily
| vigor and length of days

I than ordinary intelligence, and with a de

ough Ya.ikee m this respect—ready to
trade any tiling he has, except his wife and
children, to turn an honest penny. He is
a fine looking mjn, and his wife is a noble
specimen of tin Gipsy race. She is toil
arid stately, with the presence and the’

With her broad-brimmed lint and holiday
attire, brilliant with strong contrasts of

ever could do. ,
The wife of Owen Stanley died, and was

years ago, nnd since the death of the old
patriarch Levi Stanley and his handsome
wife are now the Gipsy king and queen of
tlie United States.

Dealls of Judge tlopion.
Tho whole community has experienced
sincere pain at tiie decease of Judge John
B. Cloptoii, who breathed his last at his
residence near Hampton, March 29th, iu
the 72d year of his age. He was a inau
of fine talents, genial qualities, and Univer
sally beloved. The following, from,the
Richmond Dispatch, does rimple justice to
his memory :
Jiidge Clapton was, we believe, a na
tive ot King and Queen country. His
father, the late John Clppton, was a man
of considerable distinction in his day, hav
ing represented this district in Congress
with great credit, for number of years.
It was he who was selected by lhe Re
publican party m 1700 to run against Gen
eral, afterwards Chief Justice Marshall, by
whom he -was defeated after a struggle of
unequalled severity, and whom he succeed
ed after Iris appointment of Chief Justice,
in representing tho district. The subject
of tins notice was educated at William and
Mary College, where heinibided that taste
for letters which distinguished him above
most of his brethren on the bench, and so.
far from declining, grew the stronger as he
advanced in years. He was known as a
profound lawyer aud a skillful advocate
many years before his elevation to tho
bench, which occurred in 1843 or ; 44. In
this office his decisions won him the ap
plause of the profession, and tlie number
of them which was afterwards set aside by
the Court of Appeals, was said to he un
commonly small. At the same time his
modesty, cautior. good sense, and the per
! feet simplicity of his manners, rendered
him highly popular. Perhaps no Judge
in the. State commanded so much of the
absolute good will aud desire for his pros
perity, of a whole constituency. Every
body knew him. everybody approached
him, everybody loved him. it was, iu
tact, impossible to feel otherwise towards
him, so engaging was his deportment, and
so frank hit; address, In conversation
he was one of tlie most agreeable men we
ever met with. His stores of information
aud ancedotes were boundless, aud he drew
on them so freely, and expended them
1 with so little ostentation, that it was ini*
i possible not to he charmed with them,
