From the fredericksburg (Va.) Recorder

The SoUTH DEFRAUDEp. admission of
California, the passage Of the Texas bill, &C.,
seem to have given great pleasure to the submits
sionists, indeed to afford them an assurance that
the vexed questions upon which the North and
South have stood opposed to each other, have
been firmly and finally settled. As much as the
true hearted men of the South love the Union
and desire to cultivate fraternal relations with the
people of every portion of it, we cannot think
they are blind to their interest, nor destitute of
honorable pride. After the full discussions of the
subject, that have been laid before the country it
would be needless for us to dwell upon it, but we
will only add that the South has been grossly and
nsfniousiy dttrauded. This we believe is admit
ted by many who say that she can do no better
than pocket the loss and the insult and hold her
peace, and that she had therefore better do it,
We would deprecate rash action, especially where
vast and momentous interests are involved, but
we would fain hope there is moral frmness and
self-respect enough in the South to call conven-
ton and to devise measures, upon calm and dis
passionate deliberation, for the maintenance of
our rights, the redress of our wrongs.

Virginia.

The Fredericksburg (Va.) Recorder referring
to the vote of approval, given by the large and
respectable assemblage at Spotsylvania, to the
course of those true-hearted Senators, Messrs
MASON and HUNTER-adds:
"And such we think would be the case of al
most every county in the State, if the people
would only ponder well the consequences that
must flow from the passage of the so-called
compromise measures"
That this consummation will be effected, and
that right speedily, we do not doubt No large
portion of a people SO spirited and so intelligent
as those of the old Dominion, can long be
blinded to their own rights and interests by party
or prejudice; and terrible will be the consequent
ces of their awakening, to those who have aided
in binding the bandage over their eyes. The
path of Virginia ever has been the path of safe
ty" hitherto, and it will be so STILL

In your character us chairman of the Commit.

Mexican Government for the payment in the
United States instead Of Mexico, which msled

find on the first page of this paper, to satisfy you
and every candid person, chat your statements
were erroneous; and ASA you, whether after read

prepared to verify before your Committee or any
other tribunal,) you will persevere in your effort
to place the Mexican Government in the hands
of British Bankers, and thus enable them to build
up the British interest in Mexico, so much to the
prejudice OF that Government, and so iniuriously
to the Interests of the United States'
You viii see that your bill, coupled with the

From the Charleston Mercury.

Extract of a letter received in this City, dated
ATLANTA, GA. Sept. 2, 1850.
During Fair week our house was crowded, and
among e'gutsts were Judge Colquitt, of this
State, and family; also his brother and his daugh-
ter We had the pleasure Of an Introduction, and
found them the most agreeable Of acquaintance.
During his stay, the Judge addressed the people
on Southern rights, and am happy to say his SEN
timents were fully up to the spirit Of those Of
South Carolina. Indeed he was willing to 90 be-
yond the claims of 5000, and re-assert our con-
stituonal rights Of perfect equality, if ell the ag-
grieved sections will bear him out but he is firm
in not yielding hair breadth South Of the Mis-
souri, Compromise line, through to the Pacific.
He said we must make that sd coffin line, or
encounter hereafter the most direful of conse-
quences, which will most certainly follow renewed
aggressions and any further compromises. His
illustrations were most happy, frequently comic,
but always to the point.
He was equally true and fecitous on the
Texas question, and maintained her cause with
much ardor, as If born on her soll-pedging in
both causes his life, his fortune, and his honor in
upholding them. The Judge was delegate to
the Nashville Convention, and should say,
most faithful public servant. He was frequently
interrupted by the most enthusiastic applause; in
deed the higher his tom, the more hearty the re-
Spouse TO his sentiments.

The Honduras Watchman brings us the following
news from Central America:
We have dates from this Republic up 10 the 4th

of importance beyond various encounters at a
place called Carrisal, and the dispersion OF some
turbulent parties IL II possible that these parties
will not yield when they are on all sides beaten by
the government forces, Were IL not for the assist

evil would have disappeared some time ago.

In A San Salvador Gazette Of the 5th ult. IL may
be that the President of Honduras has annulled

fringement Of Mor.es patent. Charles l.. Wood
bury, esq, opened tho case for the defence Ia an
able and ingenious argument, adducing the testi-
mony of various scientific men. well versed In cleo
patent was too broad, and included things previ.
ously discovered by others. And In no respect did
the invention of MIR. House infringe or interfere
in the slightest degree with Professor Morse's tee-
graphic machine. Mr.. Woodbury. was succeeded
by Mr.. Clifford. of New York, on the same side,
who has consumed the best part of four days in a
very able and argumentative speech. He has gone

ing what progress had been made in Germany and
other parts Of Europe prior to Morses first sugges

Mr.. Clifford concluded his argument this morn

VIRGINIA MANUFAcTURE-CITy ENTERPRIsE.-
On Tuesday afternoon we were much gratifed by
visit TO the very extensive and busy machine
shop of Messrs. Talbot and Brother, on Cary
street. There we the large and magnificent
locomotive ''Roanoake," Just completed for the
Danvillc railroad by these enterprsng and intelli
gent machinists. The locomotive was blocked up
TO show the movements of the machinery, all
but the progressive, under the influence of steam
andthough unfamiliar with such things, we could not
but admire the solidity and elegance OF the work
manshp, and the case, rapidity, and smoothness
with which the driving wheels rcvolved. We pre-
dict for the "Roanoake" great speed when put on
the road-which we hope will be about the middle
OF July. The splendid covered railroad bridge
very bold and striking feature, Il crosses the
green islands in the river II will be completed in
a few days, we hope, and a fair experiment given
to the "Roanoake,h which must confer credit
on Messrs. Talbot and Brother This fine locomo-
tive weighs upwards Of sixteen tons, and will cost
about 5000.
Near the foundry of these gentlemen, we saw the
large and elegantly solid granite. capped tobacco
and on the opposite side, the deep and broad foun-
dalton OF the city gas-works, which will rapidly
spring up. The foundation walls are of solid gran
tie. We hope to see this fine material raidly in
troduccd into the building enterprise Of Richmond.
Vast quantities Of IL will, we hear, be brought
down by the Danville railroad from the fine quar-
ries along its line. Granite for building Is said TO
be almost cheap as brck-cspccally II IL is not
finely worked. One Of the prettiest churches in
Boston is built of very roughly hewn granite, in
the rustic style. The gas pipes for the city works
come from tho North.
In our walk, Mr.. II. w. Fry showed us some
specimens Of wheat and rye, grown with and with.
out guano The difference in favor of the guano 10
enormous; the being just twice as large Some
rye grown with guano, on poor, rocky soil, was of
remarkable length and vigor. We understand that
the effects Of guano stiff, strong soil, are not
very marked. This is fortunate result, as there
is enough poor land 10 absorb all the benefits Of this
wonder working farmers treasure.

From THE CHocTAw NATIos.-The Choctsw TIL
egraph Of the 9th instant publishes interesting
circular addressed sTo the citizens of the Choctaw
Nation" dated "Choctaw Agency, April l4th,"
and signed Il. McKenny, which appeals 10 the
Cboctaws in eloquent terms 10 make their form OF
government similar 10 that Of tho States. II APP
pears from this document that the present govern
ment was formed fifteen years ago, with written
constitution and laws, by which the national terri
Is governed by a separate and independent chief,
elected every four years, and period has now
been fixed for alteration Of the constitution.
The present condition and progress OF the people H.
thus stated by the circular
"a period Of fifteen years has elapsed since the
formation OF our present constitution. during which
time considerable changes and alterations have
taken place. Schools have been established upon
a solid foundation, where children instruct
ed in the knowledge of books. Churches have been
erected also, where the Gospel is preached to us,
and is eyertings most happy influence. Upon the
whole, people are steadily advancing onward.
However, the laws which govern this nation have
not for some time past exerted proper influence
over the people. Probably the advancement Of our
people in civilization is getting far ahead Of the
system Of ruling by numerous chiefs. Different
customs and habits are spnnging up among our
people, and those which our people once 20 highly
cherished disappearing from among us. The
evils which were unlocked for by forefstbcrs
are becoming n daily occurrence; party excite
nient, which was not common in former times, has
become frequent, especially in the election Of the
chiefs; and IL seems 10 have an influence even in
the trial OF criminal cases. Although Judges inn
pannel disinterestcd men to act Jurors, yet muir
der escapes the punishment IL deserved; and IL
does not stop here, but rather encourages the per-
pctrstion Of more Of these horrible crimes.

WHAT CAN BE DONE on ONE AcaE or LAND
The editor Of the Maine Cuifipafor published a
short time ago hs management 81 one acre of
ground. from which we gather the following re-
marksblc results:
"One-third Of acre in corn usually produces
thirty bushels of sound corn ior rinding besides
some refuse. The quantity was sufficient for fam
lily use, and for fattening one large or two small
hogs. And from the same ground he obtained
two or three hundred pnmpkins, and his family
supply Of beans From bed Of six rods square,
he usually obtained sixty bushels Of onions these
he had sold at one dollar per bushe, and the pro-
ceeds purchased his nonr. fi,us. from one,third
of an acre and All onion bed, he obtained his
breadstufs. The rest Of the ground was appropria
ted to all sorts of vegetables, for summer and win
ter use-potatoes, beets, parsnips, cabbage, green
corn, peas, beans, cucumbers, melons, squashes,
&c. with fifty sixty bushels Of beets and carrots

The TOBACCO CaoP.-We are induced 10 believe,
from the most reliable accounts, that the next to-
bacco crop will be far short of the last, both in
quantity and quality. Letters from Kentucky and
Tennessee represent unusual drought pre-
vailing there, which makes the prospect, daily,
worse. Below is extract Of q letter, from source
every way reliable, dated Clarksville, June g.;
There has been rain in this section for eighteen
days, and no prospect for any at present. No to-
bacco yet planted. The article has advanced fully
one cent per pound. IN INC, consequence Of the gloomy
this season. Planters, who have any quantity, re-
fuse u sell at any price"
We understand that telegraphic despatch of the
l2th four days later states that rain had fallen
up to that time.-Ner Orleans Delta, 10th.
