Farther to the .South between the forks of
the Missouri and the Yellowstone on the one

are intervening regions larger than ail New
England that are well nigh unknown trim.
In Mexico, and Central and South Amend,
there are whole Empires yet lying buried in
an almost impenetrable tVilderm s. The popu

hemisphere, wonderful mbits growth has been

the complete cultivation—nay, even the ef

Let us also review the immense tracts

In short, when wo contemplate at this late

Tan Cotton Gin.- Accoidmg to ntaiiatice

the poorer classes of Turks and Christians.—

J, B Camming read aa argument in favor of
this motion.
Gen. Grofivenor maintained that martial law

jurisdiction.
The prisoner's were then arraigned at the

THE WAY TO SIIK VALUE OF
OUiJ LAK9§.
While we a-o unqualifiedly averse to agra
rianism, we are perfectly confident that the'
public, as well as private, interests demand a
speedy sub division of large landed estates,
and the multiplication of small freeholds. The
immediate effect of this measure would he the
increase of our farming population. We should
have a numerous body of independent land
holder ; and these would constitute that
“bold peasantry’’ which are at once the pride
and defence ot all frcß countries. The negro
quarter would be succeeded by the rural vil
lage, with its church and school bouse crown
ing the neighboring hilltops, and all the other
cv,deuces of modern civilization.
Another result would be the enhancement of
the valqe of real estate. It caa ho readily de
monstrated that it would inure to the pecunia
ry profit cf our large landholders to donate to
actual setih rs every alternate fifty acres ol
their plantations. Suppose for example, that
ou a plantation of one thousand acres you suc
ceed in settling tea thrifty German or Irish
families; is it not morally certain that tbe|re
maining five hundred acres will fee mere valu
able than the whole tract was previous to
the settlement.
Arrangements are now in progress, we under
stand, to'colordze ten thousand acres of land in
one county in Georgia, upon a similar plan.
Let this policy obtain a foothold, and «ur
planters will be well-nigh remunerated for the
loss of their slaves in the increased value of
their lands. A cheerful accommodation of
our plans io the great change which has been
effected, and a skillful improvement, of cur
present advantages, is no kaj the die: ate of
prudence than of patriotism. It is indeed
ri-o paramount necessity ot the times, and any
reactionary effort can only bo productive of
evil to ali concerned.
While, however, we feel tho immense im
portance of th-J policy herein indicated, we
would by no means counsel its enforcement
bylaw. O.tr StVe Legislature ought encour
age it- by proper legislation, but our main re •
lianee for its tucccss must be on the progress
ive enlightenment cf the public mind. If
demagogues will only refia'n! from agitation,
and if *|:ui2 of the presses cf the country
will erase to flame tho now smouldering
resentments itod by the late war, we
may then look for an agricultural prosperity
without paraiell ia enr pa c t history.
