Col. Benton has, as is midorsbiod by the Na

U. S. District Attorney, upon tho subject of the

"I think it a proper subject for n court of

In a communication to the Picayune, from
Thomas Alllcck, nu intelligent mid sciciitilic
planter of our Slide, there occurs the following
paragraph, well worthy of attention, lie had
been sper, king of tho almost certainty of hav
ing a short crop of cotton, and of the clfeet It
should have upon the prices :
lf in the habit of betting, you may mfely
venture a hat that the mauuhiedirerS on the

ding that every observant planter knows
thut tins ertrmtites generally believed in have
been entirely too high; and that twenty per

crop this next year are already lot, past
overtaking; yet us prices slugger, they will
press cotton in the marker, insi end of ven
turing something and holding on firmly.---
lho lirtnness nnd decision of planters during
the next three months will determine the
price of the staple during the next three
years."
Mr. Afllerk says further, in relation to tho
fruit of this country :
"Wiihiii the next two yctirx, I hope lo
fruit some two hundred or more varieties of
pears. Thus far, six years' experiments, the
penr proves to bo the fruit for this latitude.
My failures, nnd those of hundreds of oth
ers, have arisen from trusting to trees of
Northern growth. Until I ncted upon the
assurance that the individual trees we im
ported from climates so much colder than
ours, would not stand our long summers,
and procured trees ol Southern growth, or
persevered myself in acclimating them, I
had nothing but failure after failure. Now
my trees grow, thrive, and bear fruit, of
which, by the way, I sent you a few sjieci
mens last summer. Did you ever see thoe
favorite varieties, the Seckel and the Hart
Itt, grown to such a size in the North ?
"The apple, in many varieties, thrives
equally Well. At the same time, I am now
engaged iu fitting the heads of large, bear
ing trees, son which I dud it impossible to'
acclimate w ith other kinds which 1 am de
sirous of testing."

The democratic nartv of Tw.

resented iu it.
For a time, about llw close of the sessiou
of the legislature, we feared that only the
denioeruiio party of the Sinte would bo rep
resented iu it. These fears are dissipated.
Within the last few days we have learned
enongh to kubw that a strong and irrepres
sible feeling in favor of the convention is ri
sing among ihe whig of this vieiuity.
Many in this county will cordially join the
democrats in the appointments of delegates.
Sneh also, we know, is the condition of
thmgs elsewhere throughout the State!

It would be useless to go into the geneal
ogy of woman. Her origin is distinct and
well accounted for in scripture, if no where
else. By magic or surgery, she was taken
from the first man, Adam, whilo he was'
ftslcep ; nnd out of the many bones, rtrteries,
nerves, veins, muscle and the multitude of
tissues of the human body, she, according to
all accounts, is nothing but a lucre rib, six
or eight inches long (if Dutch eight, if
Native American six)--poor sister und at
the same culled the "Ultrr half" of crea
tion, which tho' proves very conclusively
the adamant doetrino of total depravity ho-
mmnpathicatly considered, s The more iiriiu
itely diluted or divided, the greater the ef
fect. Man, on tin average in bulk and
weight, is wicked enough to corrupt heav
en, and hurl cherubiius and scraphims from
thu throne of tlie Most High.- What wo
man, the iiilinitesiinal of man, is, the ho-
incrpnlhies must calculate. But as mi old
bachelor, wc will not dispute the Genesis
account of her origin, utility or destination'.
She got into the world by fair means, as rt
help for man, either to do good or raise' a
rumpus, generally as circumstances govern,
but we soon find her in the performance of
the latter business, tempting man to cat of
forbidden apples, which resulted in his sub
sequent condemnation nnd misery. "Be
hold how gfeat a Ikunc. a little spark kin
dlctlil" just because Adam went to sleep
and let one of his ribs slip out from under
his jacket. Adam, sinner like, blames Eve,
his irifr, (though there were no Justices of
the Pence in those days to marry tliem,)
and Eve creeps out of the dilemma by
charging it to the over-persuasion of the
serpent
A veneralde maid of our acquaintacce, oh
the shady side of romance, and moreover
has a dreadful antipathy to spiders and
snakes, declares " 'twas no serpent, but on
ly a diminutive worm that hud taken ils
abode in that fruit. It matters not how or
what the case was, women, from lima im
memorial, have been trying to' set creation
upside down. Lot's wife, not being con
tent with being Hcsh nnd blood, must turn
into a pillar of salt, v heu mercy knows, the
was sally eiwugt before. Women kept
pretty quiet in tho Ark at the time of the
Flood, for tho very good reason, they were
too sca-sii k o seould. But she made tip
for it afterwards. 'Twas she that invented
all that confusion of tohgnes at the birildin
of the tower of Babel, and the eternal clat
ter lias been going ever since.
Some machinists have ventured the opin,
ion that their tongues work on au atrti-frio
tiou pivot this notion' is absurd; there
too much jttmL-!ttg its the machinery.
It is an oliscrvation of importance that
women have a finger in every body's pie,
and ilis is generally allowed, provided they
eoiiline their lingers to such pics as go to
stomach to nourish the system. But to stick
their meddlesome fingers into one's hair
pttlr wool over his eyes claw at his heart,
and thereby upset his atleetion, is beyond
endurance. Indigestion follows, sighing
and sorrow accompany, nnd the first work
of God in the line of bipeds, without feath

Florida The Soutiiirn Convention.
The people of Florida are manifes
ting a becoming sensitiveness lo the
tatne and submissrve counsels of Gov.
Brown. Public meetings are being
icld in various ports of tlie State and
the resolutions which have come to us
show that the people are taking the.
management of their affairs in to their
own hands. Large assemblages con
verted in Jefferson, Jackson, and other
populous counties, at which strdng res
olutions were adopted approving of ihe
southern Convention, and measures
taken for the appointment of Delegates.
A very numerous meeting was held at
Tallahassee orr the 25ih ult., when it
was recommended that Middle and
West Florida should each send two
Delegates, and East pnd South Florida
one each, making six from1 the State,
and suggesting that they be elected by
the people in primary meetings. The
Pensacola Gazette, which opposes the
Convention, admits that most distin
guished men in the State are co-operating
with the masses in favor of these
movements. We have no doubt but
that the people of Florida will stand b
their Representatives in Congress, not
withstanding the croakings ol an im
becile Governor.
The Speaker rapped loudly to re
store order, and was in the tret of put
ting the question, whether the paper
should be read, when Mr. Cobb with

pass both Houses.
