Mr.. CALHouN.-The following letter

such, may have been doubtful as to the
course Mr.. Calhoun, intends hereafter TO
pursue. We have placed portion of the
last paragraph in italics, as embodying GER
tain propositions which we consider as true
in their application to the free as to the
slave states:
Fort HILL, 9th June, lS47.
Dear SRI am in the receipt of your
note Of the 18th inst, covering the resolu-
ton adopted by meeting of the wing par
ty of Putnam county, approving the resolu-
TONS introduced by me in the Senate of the
United States during the last session, in OPP
position to the Wilmot Proviso, and ten
dering the thanks of the meeting for the
stand took in behalf ofour rights.
| am happy that my resolutions and
stand have met with the appreciation OF, your
meeting; not so much on my account, as
acceptable as is the appreciation of my fell
low-citlzens TO me, but for reason far
more important. Coming from quarter of
the state so respectable and influential, hail
it as an omen that the wings of Georgia are
prepared to do their duty in reference to the
vital question involved in the resolutions
introduced.
| hope it is the precursor to the union Of
all parties with us to repel an outrageous and
unprovoked assault on us-one that involves
our safety and that of the Union. We
have the constitution clearly with us. Nv
resolutions have been assaulted and denoun'
ced, bur the truth of the principles they as
sert remains uncontested and incontestiblc.
In defending them we not only defend our
selves, hut the constitution; and in defend
ing, the Unlc itself,1f which it is the basis.
We must not be deceived. The time
has come 'chen the question mast be met.
IL can no longer be arOided-,10r. If ii
couid, Is II deyirabie The longer Il IS
postponed. the more iHreferdfe and dan
gfrOus CW become the hostile feelings
bef,ceen the Slaye-hoIding anil noi2-slore-
holding states. With union among our
selves we have nothing to fear-but with
out it, everything. The question is far a
boye the party questions of the day. He
who is not for us is aganstu us.
For your kind expression of feeling to-
watds me, i'll communicating the resolution,
accept my sincere acknowledgment
With great respect, | am. &C., &c.
J. G. CALHOUN.

Coop ADvIcE.-The editor of the Fri
bune, who has rambled extensively through
the far Western States, closes one of his
interesting Letters with adv ice which every
Young Farmer, who has only his hands to
rely on, should lose no time in taking:
"Oh, We who dwell on the gorges and on
the slopes Of granite hills! who are often in
clined to murmur at the hardship of your
lot in being compelled to do a fortnights
hard labor in wrestling twenty bushels of
corn from the acre of niggard and stony soil
while in fertile Illinois less labor produces
a hundred bushels-vou have not vet learn
ed to thank Heaven as YOU ought for that
hard granite soil--lor the glorious woods
which so readily cover it and the blessed
crystal waters which gush from It's tlinty
bosom! If you 0Un a farm there, Keep it,
and by cheerful labor, guided by product
i've Science, render it each year more fruit
ful than the last; but if YOU have no land,
and young family forbds the hope of
earning any at the East, strike boldly for
the West at once, get hold of eighty or one
hundred and sixty acres, as well located for
health or timber as YOU can find, and re-
solve, in spite of all obstacles, to make it
the foundation of a competence for Yourself
and an outfit for your children. = Albany

The KIDD STocK COMPANY, founded on
tho tradition fI,at e Al,
booter was sunk in the Hudson, CARRYING
down with her large sums of goId,-has re-
Gently exploded. The stock amounted to
about 100000, i'll shares of 500, and
was taken by many wealthy persons in New
\ DIRK. The company has been in opera
non about two years, and people were
shown an old gun, with loop like the
handle to a Jug" which was said had been
recovered from the wreck, also various
coins of gold and silver, said to have been
bored up by the workmen, the augur, &c.
These relics induced many to purchase
stock. 1t has recently been discovered
that the gun was sunk the day before it was
raised, with great ceremony, and that the
coins were gilded and manufactured for the
purpose of deceiving. The augureyen was
rusted and broken to have disappearance of
having performed the identical feat set forth
by the company. A large stock holder has
filed "A bill in chancery to investigate the
matter.
There are evidently two sides to every
question, as the following will show:
The KIDD TREASURY AGAIN.-It is said
that the statement which appeared III the
papers rs taken from the Baltimore Argus.
is inaccurate and false. That the bill in
chancery has been dismissed by the chan
cellor. And that the boring for treasure at
the wreck is still going forward, which az
gors well for the abiding faith of the pro-
lectors. No guarantees are given ofstock.

New Hampshire Register gives the follow

into operation. The train stopped at Mer- |
