A fetter baa lately been published,
from the unfortunate wife of Sir John
Franklin, to the Premier of England, pe
titioning for the fitting out of another
expedition to renew the search for Sir
John and hi* partjr. It would be almost
impossible for any one possessing a
spark of human sympathy to read this
fetter without deep emotion. Lady F.
expresses the hope that her husband, anJ
some, at feast, of his party, still live i
and states her determination to spend
her fortune in fitting out an expedition
to the Arctic Ocean, in case, her petition
is refused by the British Government.—

Jk» Ceaditioa of Jamiaca.
I* WSS well fer tho South that English
philanthropy twenty yesrujso far got tho
betfer of English common sense, ss to *e-
fsmplisb tbs Abolition of Slavery in the
Island ef Jamiaca. Up to that time, the
convention held currency that nothing but
•hart sighted stlfisbnesa intervened to prevent
African emancipation throughout the South.
Slavery, bad been abolished in tbs New
Eagtand .States, Now York, Pennsylvania
tad Ntw Jersey—and nil bad gone well
Slave labor bad given place to hireling la
ker—and as the latter impoced no obliga
tion oa the employer to support his operativs
•ay longer than they were able to work,
Ike economical results of the change were
fovorahle.
Superficial tkinkera, not taking into ac
count the effect of n difference in climate and
product between the two eoetione, and te-
lioving that tbo experiment enccceefnlly
trinJ with tho meagre slave population of
tbo Worth,would be followed by like rcssult,
If carried oat in the South, wore clamorous
for university emancipation. Nest era even,
were confidently aesured that they won Id
find their profits therein, while no one pre
tended to doubt that the wealth of the slaee-
boldiag State* would be immensely augmen
ted by the snbetitution of voluntary (?) for
compulsory labor.
Fortunately for ns. it was then determin
ed by tbo British Parliament to carry out
thee# tiewa in the government of her W India
Islands. Tbo principal one. J arnica, like
Louisiana, was a large producer of sugar.
Its oondition and all its circumstances were
in tbs most important respects analogous to
those of tbe Cotton and sugar making 8tates
ef tkc South—far more so tbaa that portion
nf tbo American Union north of tbe Potomac.
Tho wealth of Groat Britain eaablcd her to
oompewsato tba planters, by paying a price
for tbeir slaves. Her military power oa '
tbo Island was stroag eaough to maintain
order during tbe satoraally which succeeded
tba day when the aet of emancipatina went
into effect Everything v «av- inherent difficnl
tie#) favored a successful result.
Vet hew deplorable has been tbs feilure
of tho experiment! One of tbo moot produc
tive spots on the feee of the glebe hes been
converted by it. into a bowling waste. The
immense exports of the Island have dwin-
died down to almost nothing. Plantations
have been successively given up to tbo wil-
, until few are left in a state of cal-
i friends of the papei, and we have no di*
j position to injurs them cither in person
! <>r property. When we become thor
oughly convinced that we can do better
in Cartersville than we can in Cassville,
then we will either move or sell.
We learn, in the second place, it is
reported that we have moved our family
to Cartersville. This report is untrne.
We are. It is true, living nearer Carters
ville than Cassville, yet we are not a
citizen of Carteisvilfe; nor do we ex
pect to be, even though we should move
the office to that point. We left this
place because we preferred the country
to the town life, and no other. We make
these remarks merely to put a stop to
re|>orts and prophecies, and hope that it
will prove satisfactory to the citizens
generally.
P. S.—We here take occasion to say
that in our absence Mr. Beuj. F. Ben
nett will attend to the affairs of tbe office.
Hon. John H. Lumpkin.
We have just returned from Middle
Georgia, and. after talking with and
hearing other gentlemen speculating a-
bout the prospects of the several gentle
men whose names have been mentioned
in cor.uection with the next Governor
ship, we are more confirmed in tho opin
ion that the Mon. John II. Lumpkin
is the strongest man—and undoubtedly
the man for the times. We found but
few men who did not prefer Cherokee
Georgia’s favorite son for that high office.
From what we could learn, we think his
chances are, by far, the best of any whose
names have been suggested. It is true
there may be some difficulty pending
where so many worthy names are sug
gested ; but, we think, that the claim* of
end to her efforts. Whether she is ever
successful or no*, lady Frandliu's zeal
and energy in behalf of her lost husband,
have given her a portion in the esteem
and sympathy of the Christian world
which few have ever possessed ; and in
years to come she will bo a standing il
lustration of woman’s unyielding devo
tion to the object of her love.
John Mitchell.
We see, from the Savannah papers,
that John Mitchell the Irish patriot is
lecturing in that city to large and en
thusiastic audiences. He is described as
an entertaining nnd eloquent lecturer,
and we judge, from a synopsis of one of
his lectures, that be is not overated. In
addition to his talents as a public speak
er, no doubt his life and character give
interest to his efforts. He has been
identified for years with the struggles
that have been going on in Irelaud for
liberty. Like most other patriots who
have lived under despotic rule, he has
suffered for his patriotism, and been ex*
iled from the land that gave him birth.
He will never lack sympathy or support
on American soil.

Tbe reason ia plainly this—no oaa wishes

You are perhaps a little tender of the

uot be right to tell them flatly that you do
not want them to come louagiac about your

and as usual show a disposition to stay and

them to take bold of thc other end of a

put it ia a place ou top of some other box or

Death of n Notable Personage.
. The Norfolk Herald, ia announcing the
death o( Mrs Jana Collins, at the advanced
age of eigbty-sevea years, says she was a
nativb of Ireland, and came to Norfolk in
the year J797, with her husband, Phillip
Celling, who was a butcher. Mrs Collins
assisted her husband: shared his toils, late
and early, and in all weathers: was never
absent from the stall in tbe market house.
He died in 1807. and she continued the bu
siness, occupying tbe same stall for 50 yrs.
That paper adds:
She made and lost "several fortune*. Dur
ing the,war of 1812 she had the contract for
supplying the troops at this station with
beef, and made many sacrifices to fulfil it,
often going beyond her obligations to for
ward, tbe views of the commanding general.
Our aged friend was a perfect model of a
true whig of the Henry Clay school. He was

Barley Without Beards.
For tbo benefit of our farmers," we pub
lish tbs following:
It is even so. A variety of bariey has
been discovered in tbe gulches of the Hima
layan Mountains, antirely free from those
annoying aad poisonona beards attached to
all our common varieties.
Tbs undersigned obtained seven grains of
this nrw variety three years ago, and be
ing much pleased with i’.s general appear
ance and productiveness, bas spated no pains
to multiply tbis small quantity as fast as
the Shanghais and other birds would al
low.
Its merits for grinding or malting have
not been tested, and tbe quantity is now too
small to squander in that way, when every
tiller of tbe soil who aees it. is anxious to
have a few grains, not doubting it will
prove a valuable acquisition
! have sufficient, however, to furnish all
persons interested who will be likely to see
this notice, with one head each, containing
30 to 60 grains. Seed me yonr addrese on
a stamped envelope, and I will enclose a
heed, and send it back by return mail, with
printed instructions for cultivating in a
way to inanre a large return from n small
quantity of seed. Siionld this new variety
be fonn.1 to answer all the purposes of the
common barley, a few years will suffice to
drive the ••Barley Beards'* from tbe coun
try. •
Should any person desire more than tbe
e head, I will send a package of 700 to
SOOgraines securely enveloped, by mail, post
paid, for 25 cents, accompanied with a few
heads to prove tho fact of its being beardless.

Now. after having gone through with thl* j

there ia as much value in.the he*p,as there
was when first ex pored ?
Probably from ooe fifth to one fourth of

By composting cotton seeds, tbe quantity
may be increased several fold without im
pairing their va’ue. Let six or eight loads,
of woods, uioo)d. ditch banks, hedge-row,
swamp mack, and other similar materiel, be
thrown npou n suitable place in compost
form, on this spread one load of seed, then
six or eight loads more of earth, another
load ol seeds, and so on alternately uutil the
seeds are disposed of—tbe whole to be well
recovered with earthy material.
When decomposition commences the g*se»
set free will pecetrate tbe eutire heap, and
thus be prevented from esenping ; tbe oily
matter will also be absorbed by the earth,
and thus the whole hesp will lie worth near
ly. if not quite as much, bushel for bushel,

By this operntion nothing will be lost,
decomposition will be hastened, the germ of
