/Wars*n»ii»3 «riJ4i t Twenty-foithth congress, ' SECOA’Ii SESXWA-. 1* S«!«*T«, Monday, February C, 1837 •* Mr. Tipton presented a petition from a num of very respectable eitiacus of Indiana, praying abolition of Amy in the District of Colu Mt.T,nM that while he felt it to lie his dt •* Ptwwanhia petition, be aim felt it to lie c *0 JMitionera, as well aa to the Senate anil jtwawy teapectfully bat (Irmly to state that htfeamnaon the subject had brought hia mi to that to which his ci JiMl had come.—He denied the power 'HE?***" kfidate on llie subject, twins p '<dlsttfd by the eery purposes for which the cessi •l| Utiles square was made by the States Vltfioia nod Maryland. Apprehending that .<1 anger would vise from discussion, he moved reference of the petition to the Committee on t District of Columbia. Mr. Calhoun read the rule which provides til •w in preeeoting a petition, a motion must l«j mai ms and seconded for its reception. He objected * . the reception until such motion was made ai i seconded. The Chair sustained the view of the last Sc a lor. Mr. Ewing, of Ohio, regretted that the objc lion had been made. It was decided last sestb that the petitions should be received and laid t the table, a course be regretted at the time, nr subsequent reflection confirmed that feeling, b cause the effect of it had been to give a new ir pulse to ths abolitionists in bis State, and bad ii creased the number of petitions. JI is opinion wi well known that Congress lias the Oooslilutioi al power to touch the subject as lar as it retail to this District, but it would be wholly inexped ent and impropet to agitate lire question. He a firmed the respectability of the petitioners, tin their claims to the rea|«cct and consideration < the Senate, and maintained that the host way I put down the abolitionist* would Ire to make sue a report ae would meet their argument in als and persuasive manner, instead of treating llrei with harshness. Mr. Tipton thought the petition should bo n reived and considered that argument might Ii met by argument. Mr. Calhoun, at the instance of Mr. Morrii withdrew hia objection until all the petitions o the subject which were ready to bo presentc in order that one general objection should cm brace the whole. Mr. Swift thought those petitions should be ic ceived and referred. He slated that those win send petitions from his State were honest and re spectable. Ho then, with the unanimous con sent of the Senate, presented the petitions on tin subject which ho had from Iris State. Mr. Ewing, of Ohio, presented petitions Iron that S ate. Mr. Morris presented the petition of 3330 Isdici of Belmont county, in Ohio, on the same subject " Alto, the petition of 3710 citizen electors of Ohio and of 780 electors of Cuynhoga county, Ohio Alan ■onto petitions troin Indiana and Tennessee Mr,Wall presented a similar pcttliSd from New Jersey. Mr. Prentiss p esented several petitions fron Vermont, on the ssnie subject. Mr. Wright also presented a petition of 300( citizens of Rhode Island, similar in import. Mr. Uuchanon presented live petitions of a like ' character from Pennsylvania, mid also Severn from Philadelphia. He wild that tho discu-sioi last session had done good, lint the renewal of n n>w would lie productive of evil. If the petition! s hould he received, as he hoped they would he, he would move to lay thorn on the table, or would vote for ii>jnetidn, as h i did last session, if uiiy Senator should make such motion. Some debate ensued, in which Mr. Morris, Mr. ’ llobliatd and Mr. Calhoun participated. Mr. Calhoun called for the lending of two of the |>ctiiioiia, one printed and he other in MS. on which he had laid his hand, without making himself acquainted with their enntem*, us u spe cimen of the manner in which the petitioners spoke of the Southern people. The petitions were then read. Mr. t/slhoun raid waslliisomi of ihe questions an which ho would agree to neither concession nor compromise: whoever was prepared for conces sion was prepared to be a slave. It was one of these questions which must bo met in limine. The very reference now asked would be u con ■ cession which would lead lu further ui.d more dangerous concessions. He staled that these movements commenced at (he bottom of society, among men seeking for notoriety, and from these it was finding its way upwards, lie denounced 4hal mean, grovelling & cowardly spirit of avarice which instigated the North to offer and bowed down the South to submit to these insults and predicted that its increase would in n future gene ration load to the overthrow of the Union. Mr. Tipton asked for the yvas and nays on the .figuration of reception. Mr. Bayard moved to lay the motion to receive on the table, and the yeas and nays wore ordered. Tnc question was then taken and decided us follows ; Vets — Messrs. Bayard, Denton, Black, Brown, Buchanan, Calhoun, Clnvton, Culhbcrt, Ewing, (III.) Fulton, Grundy, Hubbard, Kent, King (Al.) King (Geo.) Linn, Lyon, Moore, M niton, Niclio Norvell, Page, Preston, Rives Robinson, Rngglea, Sevier Strange, Walker, While, Wiblit, —3l. Nays—Messrs. Davis, Ewing, (Ohio) Hen drick*. Knight, Morris, Niles, Prentiss, Robbins, Southard, Hwid, Tipton. Tomlinson, Wall — l 3 So the motiomvns laid on the table. Some further petitions of similar character ,» were took the same course, afier there had been a oooliou ilion of the discussion in which Mr. Preston and Mr. Southard were the principle speakers. Mrr Wetiiter nls i presented several petitions from Boston for the State of Massachusetts, New York and Ohio similar in llrcir import. mm or ureiiKSKMTiTiTKs. Election es J‘ reside at anil Vice-President. A message wa* received from the Senate with a joint resolution pissed by that body, appointing Wednesday neitfor the counting of the votes for I President and Vice President, &c. Mr. Thomas moved that the House concur in the joint resolution of the Senate. In reply to a question from Mr. Mercer, Mr. Thomas slated that it was ascertained that three | votes given in the Electoral Colleges wore given by persona holding office under the I : . States ; hut, air the fact did not afleol the result, the com mittee Kid not proposed to reject the votes. But : they bad determined hereafter to report a hill pro. j vidingby law for the rejection of such votes, Mr. Creery.of Michigan, opposed the second Joint Resolution, which in fuel deludes the vote 1 of Michigan. He contended that those votes ' ought to lie counted. He called for a division of ; Ihe question. The joint resolutions were then concurred in, I Mr. C.

Messrs. Edilots.— While many persons arc w contributing from their stores of intellect, much useful mid interesting matter, to enrich tho eul iii uinris of your valu able paper, you may, if you tliink proper, give publicity to ihe incoherent 10 ideas of a Wanderer. i Upon the representation of the citizens of La ic Fayette, a small hnl growing village in fie county a I of Walker, Ga„ my alt. ntion was drawn to a Hub <n lerranoan Cavern, some live or six miles from the n above named village; and being ra.heron admit is er ol the works of nature, curiosity prompted me, 10 accompanied by some five or six-others, to visit it. ,1 The company being mot, with lighted torches y wc entered the Cave •through a small aperture, descending a flight of natural stairs almost per •. pendicary, some ten or twelve feel. Tho com pany having all got down sale, 1 could not avoid, ,1' in nn ecslacy of admiration and wonder, exclaim ;, ing, ' O Lord God Almighty, how wonderful arc “ ell thy works;” for wo wore then shown the .. grander mid most magnificent room that I have s over behold, formed on each side with the utmost regularity, mi l ceiled over head with u perfectly smooth si trace! and being desirous of viewing, s as minutely us we could, from tho amplitude of r thin anomaly of nature, its various curiosities, we <- raised a considerable light, and illuminated the <f room as far as we could by the means wc had, 1. when wo discovered that on almost infinite num . her of H'alactltes, bail I formed hy the almost ~ continual dripping of the water, resembling in ~ size and appearance various animal bodies. Being somewhat satisfied vviih ourexaininnlion ’ of this apartment, with onr hearts glowing with I wonder, love and praise to the Architect of Na , hire, wc moved slowly and rattier pensively, along I in this solitary and hilhoito unexplored man \ sion, through devious wiles of “incognita loca,” . in quest of n*w discoveries. Having reached tho extreme end of this spa -5 cious dome, woffound, to proceed farther, wc had to ascend stupendous, mid almost inaccessible , heights, over craggy precipices and yawning gnlph*, to the height of some 50 or BO feet, when ' by the dim light of our tapers, wc discovered through a small opening, another room le.-s spa cious, hut fir more beautiful mid picturesque ; for ’ there appeared to the astonished beholder, not .' only the representation of a port of the animal creation, but u true delineation of a great num ber of inanimate objects, such us cones, altars, ’ pyramids, table*, candlesticks, awith u f,ic simile ' of eotne of nature's choicest productions ; and _ | it really appeared as if she, in her wild and play ful momanls, had intended to mock the curiosities ’ of art. Whilst gazing in dumb astonishment upon this delightful scenery, 1 was roused from my agreeable reverie, by a hollow and reverhor . atiug sound, produced by one of the company, who being of a hold and venturous spirit, and gone unobserved, into a remote part of the room, ami beat with a stick, or something else which t ho hold in his hand, several tabular spars, which echoed through this solitary mansion with almost deafening reverberations, which, by the associa tion of ideas, reminded me in some degree of the masticating clangor of the supper bell. Wo re tired from our subterranean abode, determined at 1 some future period lo explore more fully this pro ll Jigy .of nature. It is the opinion of the author of these few de I sultorv remarks, that every visit to tho place, brief ! ly but feebly described, (for description fails in I the grandeur and sublimity of the subject) is cal j ciliated to make a wiser and a better man. I shall conclude with the words of the Queen i of Sheba, after her visit to the Temple of Solo mon. who said,—“ that the half has never been j told.” j A WANDERER.

January *>, ltW7. ces The interest on agricultural subjects seem ted to have much diminished of late in this par ihe of the United .States, and as much as I car perceive, in oilier parts algo. When wc liavi done with president-making, and the meet bigs of abolition societies at the nortli am of west, wc can talk of nothing else than rai at roads. It m nil very well, each in Us prope de place; but it seems to me, that wo noglcc fe, too much our own natural, noble pursuit, sg riculture. Formerly, this country furmahei ( many purls of Europe, and tho West Indir I islands, with bread-stuffs; but now Europi sends us flour, wheal, and other grains n great quantities, and mirahile die In, even hay •J, I shall not attempt to seek for the causes o tliia anomaly, lest it should lead mo into tin n interminable speculations about hanks, currem ea cy. abundance or scarcity of money, good, bar u _ and indifferent. It seems enough lo say here. what few will dispute, that there is something a . wrong in all this. Leaving then, these most elevated and fruitful subjects of discussion, I • shall take the humbler task of making a few „j observations on tho culture o( the sweet po c. latoo. x- At the 474Ui page of the number of your Farmer’s Register, for the last month, in a ie, piece signed ,S. Carter, this gentleman, very I. reasonably disbelieves the assertions of some of his neighbors,[thatjl he potatos vines nrepoi- II- sonotis to cattle ; or, at least, that they occa m siun them lo swell. As for the latter effect, s- it is very possible, that potato vines, as well aa other rich succulent food, may, when eat •• on 100 greedily, or too abundantly, have that r - effect. It is, however, little to bo (cared at ’■ the season of ttie year when Mr, Carter speaks ■' of cutting his vines for provender; for then, much of their succulence lias dried up, and lf> probably given the r place lo highly nutiitions matter The saving ol tho vines oftho potato *’ for cattle, is not practised in this slate, that I know of; but it is not that they aro not wor thy ol it ; hut because we are 100 cureless in [. taking every advantage offered us by a boun ti liful climate. Jt may nl o he on account of iho difficulty of curing these vines, go us to keepfihempn hulk. A* to their nutritive quali ty, there ate very few vegetables more whole some and nutritious. Many years ago, I was informed, on nu’hority scarcely to he doubted, <f I lint in the island of.St. Domingo, horses mid I mules, were in many parts, entirely fed all the year round on potato vines; and my in formant assured me, that he knew a cultivu | tor in the vicinity of CJ.-ipo Francais, who made s yearly about slo,ooo,by Bending, every day, i potato viires to the city, where they were - bought for the exclusive food of horses, mules and cattle. On the plantation or farm of this 0 cultivator, the vines, and not tho roots were 1 the chief 01000*. I am glad to have it also in my power to 1 strengthen the authority of Mr. Carter, us re -1 gards Ids experiment of planting small pota to roots, for the purpose of producing sprouts to he transplanted indue time, info ihe beds 1 prepared (hr them. Tins is a practice iiun li followed in this stale, and many persons, I among I lie rest, think these sprouts produce much (be best potatoes for the table. Itisa ’ method well soiled to those countries whore the summer is too short to produce the potato in perfection, hy any other. Tim usual way ’ is to prepare a nursery bod of small dimen* , sions, in a w.arm and sheltered situation, hy manuring it highly with stable manure; make drills in this bed at very short distances from each other, from five to ten inches, and in these drill* put small potato roots, so close ns to touch, ami cover them lightly. This should he done earlier limn the usual season for planting the crop; and for fear of frost, the seed may he covered with straw, loaves, or seine such mutters A bed about four feet wide, and fifty or sixty foot long, will furnish sprou s enough to plant at least an acre of ground. It is necessary to Ii ivo the beds rea dy (o plant tho sprouts, so as to lake ndvau- Inge of every shower of rain lo transplant whatever sprouts are largo enough, that is a j few inches high. The nursery Led will soon ogam be covered wi'li a now set to planter* ; t(l#uo.\t suitable weather. I’otaloes produced | in tins manner, ate generally smooth and well formed, ami lho crop very abundant. Every facility afforded, for the extended ctil. livaiiou of this invaluable root, is uiulouli'od ly a great advantage; for it is nutritive ami i hojesome in >i high degree. Many planters in this slate feed their negroes for several months exclusively on sweet potatoes, and during that period, they aro all, young or old, healthy and fat. I have very liitlo doubt hut it might be advantageously cultivated for the m amifuctnrc of sugar, which it would probably produce in greater abundance limn the heel ; fur nut only sugar can be extracted from its ready formed saccharine matter, but also from the starch which it contains in great abun dance. This is at least, well worth the trial. 1 um, very respectfully, sir, Your obedient servant, N. IJeuukmont. 0;g~ We copy from the Boston Courier,the following letter, said to he from a young gen tleman engaged in surveying the route tor a rail road from Brunswick, Geo gia, to Florida. TiiomaßVu.li:, Gko., Dec. 18,1836. Wo have run our line nearly twenty miles west oft his place, and expect shortly tube on the Chattahoochee, if tho country is favor ably. Every thing goes on prosperously—we heard from Brunswick yesterday—there are four hundred men at work there—tho Canal from the Turtle river to the Altanialia is be gun—a wharf is building, and a large hotel. There have been eight ships there since onr deuarture, a thing not seen before for fifty yearn, A town will soon grow up in what is iiow’n more collection of worn-out cotton fields Nothing is w anted here but men of enter prise, wlm are neither afraid nor ashamed to work. There is so much unoccupied laud here, that people wont lake the trouble to re neir their lands. They say that they are not obliged to manure the.r land, Jhecnnse when the land on tho plantation is exhausted, they can strike off into the forest and get more, that will maintain them for some years, with lit'le labor. Thus the land becomes cultiva ted, bears crops lor a time, becomes exhaus ted, and is left to be again overgrown with trees. Mechanics are very much wanted here ; a | grind shoemaker, or saddle and liatne.-s maker, would real ze a f irtuue, here in Tlromasville, ' n a few years The people hero patch their 1 own shoes, and send to tho north for every i tiling else. If 1 were about to emigrate, 1 ( would come here rather than go to the west. I should prefer being in .he Atlantic State lo bring In the best place the western slates I could offer. i Thotnusville will be, I should think, a very favorable spot for speculations of any kind, provided that this railroad goes into op. ration. 1 It is well situated, and in one of the most s healthy counties of Georgia. At (his season of the year, the whole ol this country ie per- 1 fectly healthy. 1 think we have given the cli- 1 male a fair test. We have been exposed t > 1 tho weather the whole time. In rainy wca- 1 ther wc ore seldom or never dry—we cannot even keep dry feet. We have slept in the open air. without even the protection of a c cloak, or overcoat of any kind wit it the ther- s mometcr at I!'2 deg, at day break ; and yet, r with a’l this, there has not been a single ease of sickness, ot even of a bad cold, in the who'e party. Our manner of life, to bo sure, fortifies ns against tho effects of sudden changes : we lake so much exercise, and enuhl enjoy so lit- t lie comfort if we were sick, that no one feels 1 the least inclination to he put on the sick list Y A more hardy and robust set of young men s 1 have never before seen together. For the ] I* first week, I thought I coii!J never Ftarul it Every night, on reaching the camp, I was so much overcome with luligue, that the mo ment I threw myself upon the grass before the (ire, I would he in a sound sleep. But after rl a few days this all wore off, and I have be -1,1 come so much accustomed to it, that the idea w of walking two hundred miles to flronswick, l - would not startle me. This is a great change "■ from my past life, but lam a believer in fata* I listn,you know, and the change is the best 3r thing that could have hspp ned to me. ct - The more I see of this part of the country, '• the closer I shall cling to New England. 1 :i like the pcolehere— astranger is sure to meet 111 with every civility ; they arc hospitable and 10 kind-hearted, but they live in the most shift. II less, reckless manner imaginable. V' Tins morning, just alter sunrise, we were ’ surprised to see a handsome carriage and two carts approaching our encampment. The car '■ nage stopped, and a lady got out and request ' <*d permission to warm herself and tarnily hy oor camp fire. We invited them to seat them r? selves and breakfast with us, hut os they had '' their own cooking apparatus, and four ser * vants, they prepared their own coffee, &c., A ' and wo all sat down together. This is the '■ os,ml style of travelling here, viz :—A car riage for the ladies, a cart for the servants r and luggage, and a light wagon or horse for a the gentleman. The family who visited us / this morning, reside near Florida, and were 0 hastening home for the Christinas holidays. I shall start to-morrow morning at daybreak, and most g"t some sleep. Nothing new here ’’ No Indians near here. Yours, C. 11 [ Charleston and New York Steam Packet.

LATEST FROM FLORIDA. Tbe steamboat Conga ree, Capt. Ham, ar rived yesterday from Garcy’s Ferry, but brings nothing new. The Jacksonville Courier of Thursday last says,— ‘ Yesterday, in obedience to an order from Col. Crane, Capt. Cross, with all the effective force of his company, left, this place i for Black Creek, thence to proceed on a scout we understand, to new River and its vicinity. Active exertions should certainly be forth with made to route the Indians from that sec tion, so as to put a stop to the mischief they are doing to the inhabitants.”— lb.

W, Charles, known here as Dr Charles, was waylaid near the Theatre in ibis cily, as be as passing from bis place of business at tho “New Exchange,” (where he, with others, kept a (aro bank and a rou lette tab!e,)knockeii down, by means of weig hts secured in a silk handkerchief, most shock ingly bruised in the head, and then rifled ofal the mony about him, supposed to be nut fit from V'iOOO, Ins watch, fur rap, and a win which he wore. He was shortly after dis covered lying on the ground in a prefer’h helpless state, and carried to Ins house, when he continued to snff*r, if he was conscious ol ■ suffering—he could not speak until ycsler. day morning at about nine o’clock, when he died. It was for mo ey solely that ho was killed for we understand that he was nniformlv a mild, inoffensive man, neither drinking noi profane, and who provoked no personal ene mies. Exi’i.omxn Expkihtiox.—Lieut. Wilkes, of the U.

The relations of Madam Cherow have brought an act on against M, Gaubert, a Parisian Phreno logist, for asserting at a public meeting that the shape ol her skull indicated her to have been a “sordid, covetous and usurious old lady.” Slander. —Against slander there is node fence.
