stirring it well till the salt is nearly dissolv
ed. Pack your hams in a barrel or other
vessel, and pour your pickle on them, stir
ring it well at the time, that the umlissoived
salt may be all poured to your hams. Be
careful that they be all 'ovt red with the
ilek! , and kept so for u i\ weeks then tai o
e n out and wash or ruse tl.i ni oft tn

Mv method ofsmoking is, if in modern'e

in twenty-four hours--if it» severe wit,ter
weath *r, two. The >l,je to be . I .
in r»> ulilting tile sin. ~, t, fort to inakt as
little lire as you can, an 1 make a good strong
stnoke—second, to let your hams get tho
roughly cooled through after each stnoke,
before another is made. Every farmer who
uses an axe, knows how rapidly a cold tros
ty axe collects pyroligneous acid, or es
sence of smoke. While lian.s are cold,
rliev collect it as rapidly,and ns they hoi omc
warm it dries into them. If you itierease
the heat so ns to make them drip the fat,
vou lessen tin- weight ol’vour hams and in
jure their flavor. With regard to the cred
it of my hams in market, I will only say
that gentlemen in Cleveland, who have used
t hams of my curing, pronounce them equal
to any they have ever seen, and they com
mand the highest price in market.

rhe Augusta Chronicle and the Macon
Telegraph are sparring at each other in ref
erence to the tceTngs of rivalry existing be
tween those two cities. We see no reason
tor the manifestation of hostility on the part
of either, and yet we cannot help thinking
that tt bedrooms the former to look well to
her future commercial prosperity, aud socure
every avenue to the trade of the interior.—
In point of population and commercial im
portance, Macon is following fast in her
wake, and, from Ler central position, and
the advantages she will derive from her rail
road when completed, wo expect soon to see
her become one of the most important in
land cities in the South. Both places, how
ever, deserve eminent praise for their spirited
( Holts iu the cause of internal improvement.
THE NEAT PRESIDENCY.
Our opinions and views upon this subject
have been sn o!ten and so fullv expressed,
that we scarcely deem it necessary, io m»u
bie our readers with their repetition. So
h r' , however, as the Van Btiren presses in
tl is Stale aie zealously endeavoring to fo
ment divis.on, am.l create confusion in our
rat : «, and thus, by stratagem, effect, what
they would othcrwis*’, be unabl to do, and
w; tin then sen?* to be an inclination on the
part of some of mir friends to It* (Strapped
iti the snare, deliberately lain for them, !*’ < '-
cannot consent to remain silent. As advo
cates of tit glorious principles of the State
Rights party, aud feeling a deep and abiding
interest in the complete succ ss of those
principles, we shah xtill keep our statio .in
the field and battle with the enemy so long
as danger is to be apprehended from his iu
sidioits wiles.
The coining Presidential struggle it is
tine, is one of" vast importance to the AiO ’r
ictm people, whether we regard it as a con
test for precedence between two ambitious
and designing politicians; or whether we
look upon .t aS the term inatiou of a long se
ries of misrule and corruption. For the
last eight years our countrv has groaned un
der theyoke of rulers df void of patriotism,
and guided solely, by the low base prejudices
ot party discipline. Our present Chief Ma
gistrate, lias, iti almost every act of his pub
lic life. shown himself “unfit to be the ruler
of a free people.” Having, bv sycophantic
adulation, ingratiated himself into the good
graces of Gen. Jackson, whom hie people
loved for his military sendees, he managed to
creep into power upon the strength of Jack
son's influence and popula'ity. For him
the people have no affection If supported
forthe second Presidential term, it is because
the influence of Executive patronage du
ring his present term, points to him as the
proper person upon whom the fifty thousand
office holders may unite. His most prom
inent opponent, Henry Clay, is n man tb,’(
we can admire for his burning eloquence and
statesmanlike abilities; but here our admi
ration stops. South n rn imm, professing
Southern principles, will never yield their
support to the enemy of the South. 11-orv
Clay is the boastcJ father of «he odious •• * -
luerieau System,” and is pledged to re' ive i
whenever a fitting opportunity i.s presented,
lie is the “great pacificator,*’ raising wiprl
winds aud -torins, in order to have the credit
of aliayiug them. True, he lias taken a no
ble audekvated stand in reference to the fa
natical crusade of Northern Abolitionists u-
Caitist the cherished institutions of the
South; but this is only a single point of co
incidence, whilst in almost every important
particular he is oppo ed to us.
In a contest then, between Martin Y r an
Burenauvl Henry Clay, what part are we of
the South to take? Can we, cousisteutly
eater into the support of either of these ob
noxious candidates ? Naver; so long as we
profess a regard lor the L-doved institutions
ot our country ; never, so long as wo are
true to ourselves ami our country; never,
until we prove recreant to the glorious cause
iu which we have embarked, that of bring
i-tg back the government to its original prin
ciples, aud ot erecting an impregnable bul
wark around our Constitution, which will
forever hereafter pieveiit all iufractious of
l ii at instrument and j erpetuate to tl.e sever
al States tueir sovereign rights aud remedies.
To the State Rights pa'ty we would again
urge tiie propriety as well as the necessity of
retraining from a ‘choice of evils' from which
we have every thing to fear and nothing to
hope. Let us cling to the doctrinesin which
we were nurtured, aud avoid as we would the
‘desolating breath of the Sirocco,’ a union
or concert with the pneuiies of out .South
ern institutions. We have yet among us
such men as Leigh and Hayue and Troup,
upon whom we can cast our support, with
out a ro iouucement of our principles, aud
who are in every way w'orthy of the most dis
tinguished honor that can he conferred up
on them.

THE TIMES—PARTIES.
In no instance, since the adoption of the
Federal Constitution have there been eviu
ced so many conflicting interests aud feelings
in our national politics. Ou no one subject
do tire grand divisions of party entirely agree.
On the finances, the iinproveiyepts, the «•*■-'*
aud military poJicy, of *fj. CQIV " ( cte ' r ‘ y
section uuuzst every individual, enter
tains distinct aud peculiar sentiments. The
signs of the times would indicate a general
shitfiling in the ranks of all parties, and a
general abauduuraeut of principles on the
part of almost all men. Such is the change
of the tiroes—such the crumbling of old
parties ; the severance of old and endearing
■political ties; such the want of confidence
among old political friends. What then, is
to be the result ? Is it to be the gradual for
mation of new alliuuces; tiie restoration of
harmony among long standing and bitter op
ponents? Is it to be the discovery of auy
new or startling doctrines of the constitution
or the government? Or will the particles,
after n momentary repulsion, again attract
each other with even greater than their for
mer force ? And will the contest be waged
once inure upon the old batl*e ground, w ith
the same wrapon and under the same stan
dards? Let our friends of the State Rights
party answer these quesMous with calmness
and deliberation. For what have they been
contending; why spent their time aud trea
sure during the long coutiict thiough which
they have passed ? Wh it piinciplcs of the
constitution have been at stake ? Why have
we endured so long the insults and gibes of
our opponents ? Was it not to sustain what
w e considered a vital principle iu our sya.cm
ot government ? Was it not in defence ol
the doctrines of Jefferson, and the great re
publican family of' the country? lias that
object been attained? Have all our ends
been accomplished ? (las executive patron
age been limited ? Have the true positions
of the States been ascertained ? Can wo,
in good faith andhonurnow relax eur efforts,
abandon our long cherished associations,
dissolve tics which we claim to have existed
liom the very formation of the government ?
Can we separate iuto our original elements,
and attach some to one fraction and some to
another of our former enemies? Certainly
this cannot he. It cannot be, that in the ve
ry presence of the great leader of our partv
in Georgia, we will thus disgrace ourselves.
It the “price of liberty be eternal watchful
ness,” then wpre State Rights men either
w rong in the principles which they have es
poused. or they would act basely in their
abandonment. Their Troup, the great ex
pounder of tin r creed, is still with them;
and ran tlicv forget the <* ; *al and fervor with
which they second> and his patriotic move
ments against the tyrannical oppressions of
the-general government?
These remarks have been induced by the
recent efforts made to distract our action in
the coming Presidential contest. If ever
there \T as a time when the identity of our
party ought to pr served at all hazards,
and its principles hem ‘■acred and inviolable
that time is now at n„ud. of.* existence as
a political association is at sC.ke. u 3 are
boldly urged to st*p forward, ana, by <*
choice of veils, determine the conflict be
tween Clay and Van Buren. Few men will
openly advocate the claims of either; all
confess that neither of these men has a sol
itary principle or feeling in common with u».
The talents et the one, uud the weakness of
the other, are the only, or at least the mo6t
prominent arguments used. The error of
our party iri once choosing between evils is
now apparent. If then we desire to be cou
sistent, we must unite upon one of our own
men- -one who feels and thiuks, and acts in
common with us; one, upon whom, when
wc confer the responsibilities of the office,
our hands would hot palsy, our tongues fal
ter, nor our checks crimson with shame!
This duty falls upon the Convention about
to assemble in May next. The people look
with anxiety to the deliberations of that bo
dy, nor do wc presume they will be disap
pointed. Let some otic ot stern republican
and moral virtue be designated, around
whom our forces can rally. Georgia will
not stand aioue in tho matter. The South
will support neither the “Northern man with
southern principles," nor the “Southern man
with Northern principles II is the time
come when her doom is to base.ilod, and she
forced to take only her choice of the most
infamous alternatives? If so, her political
destiny is told; her institutions are gone;
her | rosperity is at an end; her opponents
have triumphed to their hearts’ content.

It will be found that the Bank has ample
means io redeem its circulation, without the
slightest loss to tl.e holder- oi its bills. We
would advise our readers not to make any
sacrifice of their Darieu Bank fund;, be
lieving that the Bank will very soon resume
specie payments, and be able to afford the
usual Civilities to the community, both in
the payment of its bills, aud accommoda
tion to those desiring loanx.

*\\ o p”b!'.-u to uuy,t"he stud-annual re
port tjf me Bank of Darien, and are gratified
to find Ly the exhibit which is made, that
our remarks ou a former occasion, iu rela
tion to the entire solvency ol this iiutifu
tion, were well founded; and that ad alarm
created among those who hold the hills of
the Bank, should at once subside. The
prcssuie upon this Batik has been very
great; and while there was any hope ot
being sustained, there was no restraint laid
upon either its specie or specie funds, us
must be evident to any one who will do i.
justice to examine its report; . id not until
circumstances beyond their control, in ..
very unexpected moment, compelling tin
directors, did they resort to a suspension
By comparing the present leport of the
Brukof Darien with that furnished in Oc
tober last, aud which is before us, it will h*-
seen that the circulation of the Bank lias
been reduced $100,000; the item, too, of
monies on deposit* 8170,000, and amount
due to other Banks near 869,600, and so on
aud we feel quite assured, that although its
specie is greatiy reduced, it will le enabled
quite as early as could be expected, to re
sume specie payment”, and be placed in a
situation to enable it to extend the usual
facilities to our community and to the pub
iic, so chara, toastie of its board of maria
gers.
Not being familiar with the subject of
banking, we are scarcely prepared to offer
an opinion ; but it docs appear to us. that
the proscut system pursued by the Bank”,
is illy calculated to advance their interest,
and must of necessity greatly inconvenience
the community at large and ranse a con
tinuance of the pressure in the money mar
let so much complained of. Still, we pre
suttie that Banks will adhere to that course
they consider the safest to themselves, re
gardless of the distress and buffeting such a
course may bring down upon the people
generally. This, however, ought not to be
so. Let the Banks, then, protect them
selves by entering into a mutual arrange
ment to receive each otl ere bills and to pay
out their own; to inak* their set'lctpents
with each other monthly, a.cd for balances
establish an interest account, promising not
to draw from each other specie ; and when
exchange or cheeks are given, let them he
at the usual and acknowledged rates, and we
do believe, by thus acting up in good faith
to each other, our money matters would
soon become esay. and business go on with
out interruption.’

New Orleans, April 19.
The state of affairs in Mississippi is any
thing but flattering.* The greatest distress
seems to prevail. The newspapers teem to
overflowing with legal advertisements. We
hear daily of the sa rifiee of pioperty ; and
credit is a thing which is sometimes talked
of but hardly expected, much less know n.
It will be remembered that prior to the
commencement of tlie great breaking vp,
as the dark day has been designatt i. the
planters and merchants of .Mississippi be
came largely indebted to New Orleans.—
Since that period, when our mercantile com
uiunity became satisfied that they had been
unfairly dealt with by some of the'Mississip
pians. who drew upon more than one house
for advances on the same productions of the
same season, which were to be delivered, a
bout ten thousand suits have been instituted
and judgement obtained. When collections
were attempted to be made bv the proper of
ficer, the executions w ere stayed by what are
termed ‘forthcoming bonds,*giving addition
al security for the payment against a future
date. The time for payment has com * a
round,- and we understand that a declaration
of resistance has been made, threatening the
officer who may attempt to enforce the obit
gntjona. Besides, our merchants are to suf
for another delay, ns it is said the bonds*giv
en were informal, and have to be faheu n,new.

We l ave this day the melancholy duty

to his rest. Few names are more intimate
ly interwoven wit It the history of his age aid
country,o r have better efa.tns to endeared
association in the memory ot his surviving
countrymen, than that ol Genera! Smith.
Asa soldier of the Revolution, he bore l
promiuen* part in some of the most stirring
and important scrims of that memorable
struggle, liis shave iu the achievements
of that day is such, as to have associated
h sttatne therewith in a record that will prove
more enduring than utatble or brass—the
grateful recollections of a free people. As
a statesman and legislator, Ins career has
been, relat ivelv speaking, equally success
ful and fortunate. Very early in life, tho
public confidence rallir i round him, and
smoothed It s path to places of the highest
civil trust and responsibility ; and veiy late
io life it did not forsake hint. The same
well placed confidence on the part of his
fellow ci'i/.ens. than heered bis early man
hood, and imparted strength and vigor to
liis movements in the nulilic service and the
public connse s attended him through a
long career if varied usefuln ss, and adlter
rptl to him si il I more closely in his declin
hitr yonrS, as ili'.it career approached its
termination; iusointn lt. that at no time of
his fortv ycais of civil service, was the dis
tinguished and honored veteran elected with
such signal unanimity, as when he was cho
sen to the last office which he consented
to hold- -that of Chief Magistrate cf the
city of Baltimore. His habitual energy
aid well known promptitude and strength
( f character, were appealed to on that oc
casion, at a tin s' critical period in the affairs
of that city. He can eto the rescue; am!
the dang< rs- which beset her, disappeared
-the evil day departed; and peace and
prrva le t once more throng! out her
confines. For this service alone—-sofreely
yielded, sa well timed, and effective-—the
veteran General, now no more, has laid It'*
fellow citizens under a debt of gratitude that
may not be cancelled.
\Ve make this hasty reference to the death
ol a dis’itignished nil highly I ouorable
fellow citizen, and to some of the leading in
cidents of his public career, to answer n'pro
s. nt purpose, leaving it to other and moio
competent hands, to render his name and
memory the jns.icr of a more full and ela
borate record of his public services. The
circumstances attending the death of Gen
eral Smith were somewhat singular Ho
had been > idit"g out in his carriage, in the*
afternoon, and un returning to his residence
laid himself down on a sofa, as if fatigued,
and mr repose. The servant in attendance
left film thus, and returning after a few min
utes. absence, found the form of the ngerl
veterian theie, but life was extinct. Thus
closed in pence and quiet a long and event
