Turpentine Y» Cotton. Mr Editor >»-I propose in this papei to show tome of the advantages which the culture of tur pentine has over that of cotton—more particular, ty in Florida where there i* so much pine land. The production of cotton is attended with many difficulties and subject to so many disasters, that it is considered otic of thfe most uncertain crop*. That it is attended with many expenses which Turpentine is not subject to, will at once be seen by all who take into consideration the price of good cot{oii laud, cleaiing, fencing, cost ol farming implements, teams, &c.; that it is uncertain, none will deny, w ho have seen effects of the droughts, cut worms, wet seasons, boll worms, catterpillar, itc.; whereas in making turpentine, we have but one enemy to dread in Florida, and when that docs gel hold it has no mercy—this is fire; and with due care and precaution, none need under even from this, as all can hoe and rake around the trees and '‘burn- through'’ once a year, and after tne first time, it is no gieat matter; thus while the turpentine has but one great destroyer, which may be warded off by the power of man, cotton has many, which all the power of earth may not defeat —then the tiir|ientine is the surer crop. To make it, rve need no clearing, no fen. ring, but S 3 or $4 worth of tools per year, and not more than half the time which cotton re quires. That it is well adapted to this climate, admits of no doubt, the successful trial having been made. In 1847, the first boxes were cut in Middle Florida, near the St. Marks river—in 1848 some two or three individuals embarked in it to a small extent n Newport, and a distillery was erected in that .•!■ e—in 1849, two or three crops, of hoses were n t i the vicinity of the railroad between Tallahat -e and St. Marks, and some 80 0 barrels of tur]>cntine made therefrom, which went down the railroad to St. Marks and New port—in 1850, this same neighborhood sent off some 5,000, and this year there will in all proba bility be some 13,000 sold to the three distilleries which have been, within the last sixteen months, erected within sight of each other, and on or near the railroad; thus a small neighborhood of but some six or eight miles in diameter, and which in 1848 produced not more than S3OO or S4OO worth of produce, now yields not less than $35,000 worth. Can such another instance of prosperity and increase be found in all Florida J f venture there cannot, especially if in cotton. From exp< nemo it is found a hand in turpen tine will tend from 10,000 (first year) to 11,000, or 14.000 (second yeai) boxes, and if his boxes me well cut, and he has a good start in the season, he will make from 225 or 350 barrels. Any hand, that works well, will make 250 at least; and 250 barrels at present prices, of $2 29 for Yellow Dip and $2 50 for V. D., will amount to more than the same hand at cotton. 250 barrels Yellow Dip, ai $1 70, (exclusive of barrel,) is equal to $420; V. P.r at $2, SSOO. Now', where isthe cotton grower that makes this amount ex clusive of bagging and rope, even with cotton at 12 cents. Another great advantage which this busiuess offers to the poor man especially is, that be need not wait to the end of the year for money; and then, as is too often the case with the cotton grower of moderate means, have to settle with some merchant for goods bought” and ‘‘cotton sold on account," probably at 6 or 8 cents, with a balance against him at the bottom to be carried forward and thus begin the new year in debt. Not so with the poor man who makes turpen tine—be gets lus cash for every dipping—(every six weeks at least) —pays it for what he buys, and when new year comes, it finds him a free man. Thus has the turpentine producer the advan tage of the cotton planter in every respect; ami were more to engage iu it. it would not only ac crue to the advantage of the individuals them eel ves but also to the country at large by develop ing a revenue which our vast pine forests render inexhaustible. Let those who wish to make a certain, sure and profitable crop in Florida, try the Piney Woods. Letter from 001. R. W. Jackson.—Relative to the Imputations Against den. Lopez. We give below a letter sent to us by Colonel R. W. James, brother of that gallant young man. ] Thomas C. James, who was one of the fifty so cruelly murdered in Havana. Col. James was also the intimate friend of Mr. G. A. Cook, (another of the murdered patriots,) having ac companied him through a long and perilous ser vice in the reconnoisance of the Isthmus of Tehu- ; antepec. He states facts which confirm the opinion expressed by us, that the suspicious of desertion, which embittered the last moments of the unfortunate young inea, though quite natural to their position, arose from a probable misap prehension of Gen. Lopez’s real situation. This fetter also disposes ol another charge, quite rife among the enemies of Cuban independence— that the young men were deceived by Gen. Lo- , )«. New Orleans, Aug. 25,1851. I Editors Delta , GiNTLEjiEN-r-Though oppressed with grief for the loss of a beloved brother, and of my dear friend Gilman A. Cook, who were brutally murdered in Havana, on the 16th instant, 1 by the Spanish authorities, I cannot refrain from ■ performing an act of duty, by stating what my | intimacy with Mr. Cook enables me to say,— that, in going to Cuba, he was neither deceived nor persuaded by any one, but from his own noble impulses, w hich werealwaysou the side of the oppressed. His determination to accompany my brother, with whom he had passed through many dangers, and to whom he was warmly at tached. was made but a few hours before the ex pedition sailed. He had no knowledge whatever of the plan of operations. My brother and my- j self, from motives of friendship and regard, know- | ing that he was the only surviving son of a large ! family, endeavored to dissuade him from going; but his mind was made up, and he said he would , thrink from no dangers which his old friend j Thomas C. James might encounter. lam satis- ! fled that he could have had no consultation with : Gen. Lopez before he left. I would also add my belief, as one who felt deeply the effects of the calamity, that the com mand of Col. Crittenden could not have been deserted by General Lopez, but that the gallant old man no doubt did all that mortal could do to save the very Aower of his little army, and that their destruction was effected somewhat in the manner described by Gen. Huston, in Sunday's Delta, —by the unexpected interposition of a large Spanish force, between the party with Gen. Lopez and the command cf Col. Crittenden, which had charge of the baggage. In justice to the Old Hero, I would oppose to the charges of his assailants in this city, who ac cuse him of treachery, my own, and what I be lieve is the sentiment of nearly our whole peo ple. that his conduct was brave and honest. Respectfully, your obedient servant, R W. JAMES, AUGUSTA, GA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 3. For Governor. CHARLES J. MCDONALD. For Congress—Eighth District, ROBERT McMILLAN, of Elbert. THE LARGEST CIRCULATION 5 THE STATE. The Alberti Case. The Chronicle Sp Sentinel of the Mist ult., con tains a new version of the Alberti Case. It ac companies the publication of it with a few re marks, every word of which we copy as follows The Ai.bf.rti Case.— We have received from Andrew.!. Miller, Esq., the subjoined authentic report of this celebrated case, which we publish for the better information of our readers, as well as all those persons in Georgia who have been itnjiosed upon by the report copied from the Richmond (Va.) Enquirer, which has been so industriously circulated through the State by the disunion organa and their allies. We have already expressed the opinion that the review of the Richmond Enquirer was not entitled to cre dit, and the reader will be a'ole to judge how ful ly that opinion is sustained after reading the fol lowing report, which is copied from pages 40.0 to 502 inclusive, of a forthcoming volume of “ Re jiorts of Select Law and Equity cases’’ decided in the courts of Philadelphia. This, therefore, is no newspaper report of the case, made up for political effect in the South, but is an authentic Law Report, designed to elucidate the principles of law adjudicated; and like all reports is a fair and impartial history of the case. The reader will perceive that 11 the abduction of the child teat —without any farm of law being observed for the airtst of the mother or the child, and “ that there teas no legal proof that the wo man was a slave, or that Mitchel was the owner, or that Alberti had any power of Attorney or au thority to arrest ami remove the woman.'’ Mr. Miller’s friends, Law Book sellers and publishers in Philadelphia, who sent him the the pages containing the Report, say of Judge Parsons,’ that “He has honesty if not ability: nous who know him doubt his uprightness and virtue, and few public men equal him.’’ It may not be improper to add that the Review of the case published by the disunion organs of Georgia is without name or authority, Was got lip with a view to obtain a pardon for Alberti and Price, as we are informed, and was “so grossly unfair in its narrative,’’ that the counsel engaged against Alberti, refused to attest its truth. It is circulated in Georgia a* a faithful report, and attempted to he introduced into the political can vass with a view to make parly capital. Voters of Georgia, you now have the facts of this case in an authentic form: read and digest them, and mete out to those who have thus at tempted to deceive you, the measure of your just indignation. This is like almost every thing trom that pa per, where the North is concerned. It is apolo gy, apology, apology for the North ! It will be seen that the Chronicle denies that the first report, as published in the Richmond Enquirer, is entitled to credit. It says that the one it published is an authentic law report, and is a fair and impartial history of the case. This report, it tells us, was sent to Mr. Miller by his j friends, who are law book sellers and publishers, i in Philadelphia; and for aught we know, they may be rank free soilms and abolitionists. How does the Chronicle know that this report is a fair ami impartial history of the case ‘ It may have been prepared under the eye of JuJge Parsons, who acted so tyrannical a part in the case. No doubt he, and those concerned in the outrage, desired to cover over their corruption and judi cial villainy. The Chronicle quotes that part of this report which says that tire child Joel was kidnapped , and his mother Betsy was not arrested according 'to the forms of the laws. Now, William A llem i Esquire, before whom the slave Betsey was brought, heard the case, and decided that Betsy | was the slave ot Mr. Mitchell, of Maryland, not ' only by the testimony of several witnesses, but the admission of Betsy herself. Mr. Allen was 1 a citizen of Philadelphia, and after a full hearing, he delivered up the slave Betsy to Mr. Alberti, the agent ol Mr. Mitchell. It is not common for ! Northern justices or commissioners to give up slaves when the claimants are not their owners, or authorized agents. We admit that according to this report, sent to i Mr. Miller, it would appear that Alberti had kidnapped the child. But who were the wit* : nesses against him? Wm. Thompson, a free negro, the husband of Betsy, and Richardson, i who had been twice convicted of larceny and was pardoned, the day before the trial came on, that he might be able to testify against the ' prisoners. His testimony was received, although several respectable witnesses testified that they would not believe him upon oath. Respectable testimony in favor of Alberti and Price was rejected, while that of a free negro and a thief was admitted to swear them into the Peuitentiary. Let it be remembered, too, that the conviction of these unfortunate men was eP fected mainly by the testimony of this negro and Penitentiary convict, and the one-sided charge of Judge Parsons. The Chronicle does its best to apologise for this judicial tyrant. It quotes from Mr. Miller’s friends account of him. as follows: “Ha (Judge Parsons) has honesty, if not ability: none who know him doubt his uprightness and virtue, and few public men equal him." The man who can apologize lor Judge Parsons, has but one step farther to go to call the celebra ted Judge Jeffreys a saint. In our honest opin ion, the acts of this Judge and the jury who r >n victed Alberti and Price, cover not only Penn sylvania with infamy, but stain the nation and disgrace the age in which we live. The Chronicle says the first report of the Al berti case was made without name or authority. The Richmond Enquirer says “it is from the pen of one of the most distinguished citizens of Pennsylvania, and is published for the benefit of the family of Alberti." Unfortunate man—un fortunate family! They have fallen into the hands of cruel fanatics, who hate the South, and would doom to death, if they had the power, the husband and father who dared to aid one of her citizens to recover his fugitive slave. The Chronicle says, “the counsel engaged against Alberti, refused to attest the truth of the report,” wliich we copied from the Richmond Enquirer. That is not at all surprising. Peo ple generally refuse to attest the truth of a report of their own villainy! The Chronicle , in conclusion, calls upon the people of Georgia to measure out their indigna tion against those who have published the first report as true. What does, what can it expect for itself, at the hands of a people, who hate ty ranny in every form, and the minions of tyranny, who hold op and kiss its robes, stained with crime and the tears of an unhappy family. Barbacd* and Discussion Yesterday. A large number of citizens attended the Bar bacue, given to Col. Robert McMillen at the Lafayette Race Course, on yesterday. The number was variously estimated at from eight to twelve-hundred, Mr. Pleasant Stovall was appointed President, and George Schley, John C. Snead, and T. W. Fleming. F.sqrs. Vice Pre sidents, of the meeting. It was arranged by the committee that Mr. James M. Smythe should open the discussion. He then addressed the assemblage for about three I quarters of an hour upon the important topics which are now agitating the public mind. At the close of his speech, Col. McMillan was introduced to the meeting, which he addressed in the happiest and most effective style for about one hour and a half. We have seldom listened to a more able and eloquent speech. It was full of cogent argument, withering sarcasm, rich an ecdote, and flights of bold, eloquent and impas sioned apjieals, which elicited frequent and hear ity bursts of applause. We never saw an audi j ence more attentive or 1 letter pleased. Col. McMillan, by this single effort, establish ! ed a high reputation among our citizens as a ready, pleasing and able public speaker. We have not time or room to give even a synopsis of the positions taken by him. They wgre well calculated to dagger the fa'tli of his jiolitical op ponents, who were present, and afforded the highest gratification to his political friends. He ! exposed the miscalled Compromise itt its true and ; deceptive colors, and sustained the doetiiues of State sovereignty and tlie right of seces sion, with impressive and impregnable reasoning, i Before closing his speech he took occasion to stamp as a falsehood, the charge which has been | made against him of being an Orange man. ! At the close of Col. McMillen's speech, the l people assembled, partook of the Barbecue pre , pared forthe occasion, after which they returned j to the stand and calls were made upon A. H. H. Dawson, Esq., and John Phinizy, Jr., Esq. Mr. Dawson excused himself for not speaking at length, but made a few patriotic remarks ; which were applauded by the meeting. Air. Phinizy then made a brief address which was well received. Before adjournment it was an nounced that Col. McMillan would address the citizens of Richmond some time in the fourth week of this month, at which time he and the Southern Rights Party will be pleased to see Mr. Toombs and his friends. The Act to suppress the Slave Trade in the District of Columbia. At the request of several correspondents we publish the following Act. being on* of the so k called Compromise measures: AN ACT to suppress the Slave Trade in the District of Columbia. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Re presentatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That from and after the first day of January, eighteen hundred and fifty one, it shall not be lawful to bring into the Dis trict of Columbia any slave whatever, for the purpose of being sold, or for the pnrpose of being placed in depot, to be subsequently transferred to any other State or place to be sold as merchan dize. And it any slave shall be brought into the said District by its owner, or by the authority or consent of its owner, contrary to the provisions ol this act, such slave shall thereupon become liberated ami free. Sec. 2 And be it further enacted, That it shall and may be lawful for each of the corpora tions of the city of Washington and Georgetown, from time to time, aud as olten as may be neces sary, to abate, break up, and abolish any depot or place of confinement of slaves brought into the same District as merchandize, contrary to the provisions of this act, by such appropriate means as may appear to either of the said corpor ations expedient and proper. And the same power is hereby vested in the Levy Court of Washington county,if any attempt shall be made, within its jurisdictional limits, to establish a depot or place of confinement for slaves brought into the said District as merchandize for sale contrary to this act. Approved Sepcember 20, VBSO. In connection with this subject we take the opportunity to publish our comments on this bill at the time we published the bill itself in the Cotisiitutiomlist of May 23rd, 1950 : Obnoxious Features in the Compromise Scheme.— ln pointing out some features in the compromise as so obnoxious as to deserve the sternest resistance on the part of the South, w« do not wish to be considered as suggesting diffi culties with a view to defeat a compromise. We are anxious for a settlement, and hope that such modifications of the plan may be adapted as will secure it. We have one to suggest in reference to the bill abolishing the slave trade in the Dis trict of Columbia. As the bill stands it cannot and should not receive southern support or coun tenance. (Here followed the bill.] Now the objectionable feature is, giving free- . domto the slave unlawfully brought in for sale and speculation. This is too much like a con cession to the spirit of abolitionism. The penalty under the law of Georgia, repeal ed last session, was a fine of SSOO, and imprison ment of the owner so bringing in a slave for sale. It is only by some such penalty on the owner , the law should be enforced, if adopted at all. Even ' this would be conceding more to northern pre judices than is agreeable to southern men. On first receiving intelligence of the general features of thg Compromise, being anxious then, AUGUSTA WHOLESALE PRICES CURRENT, SEPTEMBER 3, 185 1. ARTICLES. (PER WHOLESALE. DUTY. Ij ARTICLES.

The bills reported had not been perfected or discussed. They had still to go through the alembic of a thorough and jealous test of all their features and provisions. We cherished the expectation that the spirit of Compromise would prompt and concede such amendments as would remove obnoxious features’ and make the bills such as would recognise and secure the rights of the South. In this spirit we favored the Compromise before we had read the bills teported. In this spirit we wrote and published the editorial of the 22nd of May, in which we thus spoke of this District of Columbia hill. As regards the proposed law in relation to the slave trade in the district of Columbia, it is the same that prevails in Maryland, atnj did prevail in Georgia until it was repealed at the last ses sion. It is in fact the law of Maryland, a slave state, extended to the district of Columbia by au thority of Congress, which is competent for that purpose. We were then under the erroneous impres sion, as we had not read the bill, that the pro visions were similar to the law of Georgia, which imposed a pecuniary fine, and also that the Maryland law imposed a pecuniary fine in stead of liberating the slave. Like thousands of others in Georgia, we were so desirous of a compromise, that we felt a strong leaning in favor of the one reported, before we had time to contemplate its features and scru tinize its details, with a view to its ultimate bearings upon Southern Rights. In this very case, on the very day we published the article of the 22nd of May, our attention was specially called, for Ihe first time, to the fact that the bill, instead ol imposing a pecuniary fine, libera ted tuk Slav*. This prompted us the next day, the 23rd, to publish the bill in full with the comments accompanying it. We looked rqion it then, as we do now, as an insidious blow at the institution of slavery. But it would have been disarmed of much of its force had it been ac companied with concessions to the South, indi cating the spirit of Compromise , and a desire to do justice to the South, and in the same spirit we would have been reconciled to the bill. But this spirit was not exhibited by the non slaveholding States, as the debates and the votes in Congress on various proposed amendments too clearly proved. W e claim no peculiar capacity to jump to cor rect conclusions at the first glance, nor do we conceive it any merit to persist in adhering to, and advocating first impressions in the face of more thorough examination, and of all tire light thrown upon the subject by discussions among the first intellects of the country. To the Citizens of Augusta. 'there are from 75 to 100 young men in Au gusta. ready to leave for Cuba. Those who in tend to aid them with funds or join the compa ny, or are willing to favor the cause of liberty in Cuba, are requested to meet, THIS EVE NING, at the City Hall Park, at 8 o'clock.— It will probably be the last meeting that can be called before the liberators leave. Many Citisens. The West. —The senior editor of the Missouri Republican, aud Mr. Kendall, of the Picayune, are on a tour to Santa Fe, &c. The editor of the Republican.writes from the Kansas that mail-stages are running regularly between In dependence, Santa Fe and the Salt Lakes. The mail to Santa Fe weighs usually between 250 aud 300 pounds; that to'the Salt Lakes from 150 to 200 pounds. The mail leaves for each point on the Ist of every month. It is carved in spring coaches, drawn by six mules, and the trip to Santa Fe is made in from 25 to 28 days, and to the Salt Lakes in in from 28 to 30 days. Price of passaage to either place 5125. It takes about one hundred mules to supply the lines. # A New Cotton Plant. —The editor of the Orleanian has seen a boll of cotton, that deserves the attention of cultivators, on account of its rapid growth and early maturity. On the Ist of .Tune last, a lady planted in her flower garden, a few cotton seeds presented her by a gentleman. On the 2oth of July a boll was ready for picking: and at the end of sixty days from the time of planting, the cotton had arrived at maturity being in less than one has of she time it takes the species now raised by our planters to do so. The lady was totally unacquainted with the cultivation of the great Southern staple. The seeds were introduced by Mr. Hyams, from Yucatan and are styled the Alien. Land Warrants.— We learn from the Wash ington Republic that the whole number of land warrants already issued under the act of the 28th of September-, 1830, is thirty-eight thousand five hundred and forty-five, and that the Clerks in the Pension Office are now engaged upon the cases presented from the 25th to the 30th of De cember, 1850. The case of the fugitiue slave Bolding was to ' have been tried before the U. $. Commissioner at New York on Wednesday, but was postponed in consequence of that officer being unwell. The N. York Courier states that the gentleman from South Carolina claiming him offers to give him liberty for the sum of 5i,700, and that the amount , will be speedily made tip. Bolding doe? not de ny that he is a fugitive from service.— Baltimore American, 30 th ult. K “ “ * ■’ * i [From the Savannah News Extra, Sejit. l.| Glorious Nows from Cuba—Gen. Lopez Victorious —Gen. Enua Killed—Lopez marching on Havana with 1500 to 2000 Men. By the arrival of the schooner Merchant Capt. Westerndorffe. from Havana, which port he left on the 22d nit., we have the gratifying intelligence that Gen. Lopez has been successful in every engagement which he has had with the Spanish forces. In the engagement on the 17th ult., General Enna, Commander of the Spanish Army was killed, with several other officers. The Spanish also lost a large number of men. Gen. Lopez's forces were hourly increasing by re-enforcements from the Cubans. The ( Spaniards themselves represent his force at 1500 to 2000 on 17th. With this army Gen. Lopez j was advancing on Havana. Capt. Westerndorffe saw the funeral of Gen. Enna in Havana, on the 21st ult. The affair was conducted with great protnp and solemnity. ' All the troops m the city para ded on the occasion. The entire Spanish forces then in Havana did not exceed some 700, the great body of the troops having been dispatched to meet Lopoz. There was great excitement and much appre hension in Havana. Wc have not been able to obtain any letters. Our files of Havana papers of course contain no news. The hospitals of Havana are crowded with wounded Spanish troops. They report that the Spanish officers and the soldiers were utterly surprised and dismayed at the rapidity with which the Americans fired, and the fatal effect every volley made ou their ranks. The Ameri cans, they say, fired three and four tiities. to their once. Private commercial letters report business in Havana very dull—the excitement in the city and neighborhood very great. The outrages perpetrated on the fifty-one Americans, after their murder, are fully confirm ed. The Americans in Havana are very much incensed at Mr. Owen, our Consul, in conse quence of the indifference which he manifested in reference to the fate of Col. Crittenden and his command. The body of Gen. Enna was sent by General Lopez with a flag of truce to the Spanish camp, in order that it might be buried in accordance with the usages in honor of the dead. By this arrival we learn also that the Spanish steamer Pizarro was still fast aground. There was no hope of getting her off. Preparations are making to fire 100 guns this afternoon, in honor of Lopez's victories. From the Savannah Republican of the 2d inst. we take the following: By the Merchant we have received our regular files ot the Faro Industrial, to the 20th ult. We learn from this paper that on the 17th, the Captain Ceneral distributed brevets, &c. to thirty five officers and soldiers who were woun ded in the battle of Las Pozas. It also contains an official communication of the Captain General, dated the 19th, which states that General Enna was dangerously wounded in a battle with Lopez, at a place called Carambola. We also find an official proclamation, which we have translated; •‘Military Secretary's Office. ‘•His Excellency the Governor, Commandante General of the Central Department, sends the Captain General the following official communi cation, dated Puerto Principe, 12 Aug: Excellent Sir:—On this day have been shot in the back the following named prisoners, for high treason against the Government: Don Joaquin Aguero v Aguero, Don Jose To mas Betancount, Don Fernando de Zayas. Don Miguel Benavides, which is published by order of His Excellency, for general information. Pedro Esteaan. Havana, August 1851. We find in the Faro a full list of all the offi cers of Gen. Lopez's force. We also find a state ment of the number of his men. as follows: 6 companies of Infantry, (including officers) 219 3 •' “ Artillery, 114 1"• “ Cuban Patriots, 49 1 ' " Hungarians. 9 1 ‘‘ Germans. g Total 400 ‘ American Piety Abroad.— A Paris corres pondent of the N. Y. Express writes as follows to that paper. . You are perhaps aware that in all the English chapels established in Paris, prayers are said every Sunday, according to the Liturgy of the Church of England, for the Queen, the Prince of j Wales, and the whole Royal family. The Ame- , ricans have been thinking for a long time that as they form fully half the attendance, it might be reasonably expected that some allusion be made to the President and “ the Senate and House of i Representatives in Congress assembled.” Up to I this time no attention has been paid to the uni versal desire. The result has been dreadful.— The Americans instead of going to Church went to the Hippodrome; instead of going to the font in the chancel, they went to the fountains of Versailles, and all this because they considered themselves slighted. I am happy to say that henceforth they will have no excuse for amusing themselves on the Seventh Day. I have had the pleasure of presenting a copy of the New York edition of the Book of Common Prayer to the rector of one of the English Churches, and he promises to read the neglected prayer in fiill here after. I shonld be there next Sunday myself, but I am going to St. Clair, and the steamship starts at just the very hour that services commence. Bank Bfate Table. I Augusta Insurance A Banking Company..
