the political results of his <?titerprise, if he can
accomplish it however as individual advo
cates of republican progress, we rnay’wish his
cause a God-speed on its mission, it is impossi
ble to forget the fact, that Walker is fighting
on his own responsibility, and has no claim up
on the co-operation of his country. Central
America is undergoing a change which it will
take time to determine and reduce to its last
level. Mexico is tottering on the very verge of
radical revolution. There is reason to believe
that iu the midst of her embarrassments and
annoyances, her politico-religious factions and
feuds, her poverty and discordant councils, in
turning to the United States for aid, she had
hope and consolation in a confidence that her
overtures would be acceded to, that the Trea
ty negotiated by the American Minister with
Comonfort’s administration, would be received
with a warm welcome by the people, and rati
fied with all practicable dispatch by the fede
ral authorities of the United States. But
Mexico is doomed to disappointment for the
present at least. The Treaty has been refus
ed ; and like a drowning man stretched forth
hi hand for help, that distracted Ilepublic
must either be engulfed and lost, or still strug
gle on for a moment more, buoyed up in the
last agony by die hope of rescue. That there
were provisions in the Treaty, either in con
flict with the Constitution, or prejudicial to vi
tal interests of our country, we have no doubt,
from the fact of its rejection. And that “the
end is not yet, 1 ’ that some means of comfort and
relief to our neighboring Republic will be de
vised, and arranged between the Buchanan and
Comonfort administrations, we are equally con
fident. it is stated, and with apparent au
thenticity, that Spain is already organizing an
armament for an attack upon Mexico, under
the plea of injury and insult to some of her cit
izens. 11 it be true that this descent is cer
tainly to be made upon Mexico, it baffles con
jecture to foretell the final result. That the
Republic of Mexico, already so sadly crippled!
and bent down under^he weight of domestic!
dissensions and troubles, will lie incapable of
standing up against the onslought. is evident ;
and as a consequence, unless succor is soon se
cured toher from some competent power, Spain
may trample her under foot, and dictate terms,
such as her ambition, rapacity or revenge may
suggest. Mexico must have help. And the
qtrtwn arises, if she fails iu her entreaties
and overtures to the United States, her near- j
est neighbor, closest kindred and most faithful]
friend, to whom will she appeal for protection!
next ? And if to England, would that Power l
claim any other recompense than such as would
give her important possessions upon our South- j
western border ? This question is fraught j
with weighty cowderations and reflections for’
the Statesmen or our country. And especially j
to the Smith is it a matter of immeasurable mo-1
incut. If Mexico must fall, let the arms of the!
United States be outstretched, and ready to j
receive her.

The >wcet potato is here considered to be al-j
mMt :t s indipensible as the common sort. My i
hot-bed last year was 60 feet long by 10 wide, j
I ded.ru the next spring to enlarge it three fold, j
Mv mode is to place logs on a sloping piece of j
ground, say ten or twelve feet apart. I then
drive -mail stakes, or pegs, in rows, three feet!
apart, and eight inches high. The object is to j
have not more than seven or eight inches depth j
’ manure, which should be fresh horse-dung, a j
mixture of hay, straw, corn-fodder, &c., tram-;
pled down level with the top of the pegs. 11
then put a coat of loam three inches deep, upon |
t:.c top of the manure, which answers for dres-j
- r 1 tabs squent year. 1 then place my tu-j
b- rs on, cover them from two to three inches j
deep, an 1 th-u lay on boards, so as to keep!
i hem elf - ally covered from rain or cold un- j
til the [duals are up. During the day, I jet
lie-in have the sun, until I am sure they cannot
injured by frost. I sometimes water them,
but lmt before the heat has somewhat subsided
in • bed, which I ascertain by putting nay
fr- linger through the covering. Avery little
warmth from l>eneath is sufficient ; there is
more to apprehend from too much heat than
too little. Some place a covering of saw-dust
on top of the bed ; but this is entirely unneces
i-oTT. In this latitude the beds should be made
he 10th or 20th of April. The
plants will be ready for drawing from the Bth j
t<> the 20th of May.
I select the ground for growing the tuber
that will produce good corn. To manure just I

f<ir transplanting is when the ground is what I
we call “dry.” The mode of planting is to j
rnak” a h i with the hand, or otherwise, of |
the ; pth to receive the young plant ;
and when it is place lin the hole, I pour in
half a gill of water, so that the earth may set
tle round the fibrous roots; then I draw the
earth around the plant and compress it a little
with the iioe. In less than 24 hours, the plant
will be as vigorous as though it had never been
removed. On good land, the distance of the
plants apart should be from 18 to inches ;
for thin land 15 inches will be sufficient. 1 lie
vi e id iu this section is from 100 to 150 bushels
to the acre. I should state that the plautS le
.ujre to be hoed about as much as corn. The
vines should be thrown on the ridges, out of
the wav, while dressing. In digging, I use a
] artfe long, flat, three-tined fork, to throw the
tubers out of the ground. When dug, I spread
them to drv and wilt somewhat, preparatory to
putting them up for the winter, which requires
i.-rirli rare. My place <*f keeping is a cellar
kitchen. I pack them iu boxes of dry sand,
placing tv scantling upon the floor for the box
es to rest upon. I keep the sand from year
to year, and sometimes have it kiln-dried.

Zebulon, .March 10.1857. j
The Committee appointed to draft suitable reso
lutions iu token of respect to the memory of our
companion sister, Amelia Beckham, consort of
Andrew J. Beckham, who departed this life Mon
day, March 16th, 1857, reported the following pre
amble and resolutions, which were adopted :
Whereas, by another dispensation of Provi
dence, oitr companion sister. Amelia Beckham, is
no more. We feel assured that the “King of Ter
rors” in this approach, took her not by surprise.—
She had long made preparations for that eventful
period.- When it was announced to her that she
was almost gone, and asked by her kind and affec
tionate husband, who watched at her bed-side, if
she was ready, although her voice was weak, and
had. it seemed, almost last utterance, she quickly
anil emphatically replied, “O yes.” This is a groat
Christian triumph, and worthy of Christian emula
tion. What more can we say of our departed
companion, than that she lias but stepped from a
world of joys all alloyed, and disappointments
thick, to the tail fruition of an eternal bliss in the
highest heavens. And in humble tribute to the me
mory of our departed companion sister,
Resolved, That although sad is the loss which
this Society of Good Samaritans, the Church and
the community have sustained in the decease of our
companion sister, Amelia Beckham, we should all
feel rejoiced at her triumphant death.
Resolved, That we tender the bereaved husband,
family and relations of our departed companion,
our heart-felt sympathies for their irreparable loss,
and hope that the cheering recollection of her ma
ny virtues, will be a lasting effect of their earnest
imitation.
Resolved. That a copy of the foregoing preamble
and resolutions be furnished to the family of our
departed sinter, and also copies to the Empire:
State and American Union, at Griffin, for publica- j
tion. J J Caldwell. /

gion when but 10 years of age, and united with the
Methodist Episcopal Church, of which she contm- j

Church triumphant above. Iler conversion was .
clear, satisfactory and undoubted, through an ex j
ptTience of 60 years, during which she realized its j
evidences and its fruits in a heart-felt enjoyment
of Divine grace. She lived pious, useful, beloved,
and died “the death of the righteous’’ill the full
assurance of hope.” J•
Departed this life, at her father’s residence in Barbour !
county, Ala., on the 24th inst., Susan Amanda, eldest!
daughter of F. M. and M. A. Moseley. We sorrow not |
as those that have no hope, for she left behind her, evi
dence that our loss was her gain ; we therefore say ‘‘the)
Lord giveth and taketh away. Blessed be the name of j
the Lord.”
Susan Amanda fare you-wel!!
To us you were most dear;
Your soul with God in Heaven shall dwell,
’Till Gabriel’s trump we hear.
We know you cannot collie to us,

And you be formed anew.
Then stop the parent’s flowing tear—
Let all submsssivc be

COTTON HARVESTER, FOR RICKING
COTTON IN TIIE FIELD.
TtIHIS valuable machine, second only to the invention of
JL tire Cotton Gin, is destined to produce a remarkable
change in the method of gathering cotton from the field
It will do the work of from three to live hands in picking
cotton from the stalk, and is evidently a labor-saving ma
chine. Its benefit to the Planter is incalculable. It picks
the cotton clean and free from trash, leaves it in excellent
condition for ginning—obviates the necessity of exposing
the hands to heavy dews, rains and cold, and from the ra
pidity of its work, will enable the Planter to prepare his
crop for market at an early day, leaving him time for the
improvement of his land, houses, enclosures and general
arrangement of the Plantation.
It is light, Weighing about 8 pounds, is suspended h.y a
strap over the shoulders,ahd is operated by means of a crank
turned by the hand or lingers. The simplicity of this ma
chine is its leading feature—it is not liable to get out of or
der, and any negro of ordinary capacity, is competent to
use it. One harvester, with proper case, will last a series
of years.
We are now selling State and County Rights for the man
ufacture and use of the above machine. Any infotnation
relative thereto, can be obtained by calling ott A. Wildbur,
General agent for Georgia, Florida, North and South Caro
lina, at his office, 111 Buy Street, Savannah, Ga., or at the
stores of the subscriber, 135, Congress Street, Savannah,
Ga., or 125 Meeting Street, Charleston, S. C . where the ma
chine can beseen in operation, pry. Price of the machine.
