10 The Mississippiau, in speaking of the
report that Governor Quitman was at one time
about to take command Of the Cuba expedi-
ton, but was dissuaded by his friends, says,
mo one probably felt a deeper interest
in the success Of the Cubans, than did Gov.
Quitman, believing that they really desired
to achieve their liberties and live like free.
men, But at the same time, and although
the command of the late expedition was at
one time offered to him, he from the first
refused to enter upon this enterprise, and
his reasons we understand, were that he
had seen no action OH the part of the PEG.
pie, and that until they acted, and in theiI
struggle should appeal TO him for aid, he
could never think of entertaining the propo.
sition. The story of his intention of assn.
ming command Of the present expedition
and o ffriends persuading him from it, is al
a sheer fabrication"
This is just what might have been expectec
from GEM. Quitman, a man who, though UT
ged on by the most generous impulses tc
deeds of gallartry, yet has, in a degree sufi.
cient to control such feelings, those more sober
qualities of wisdom and prudence which are
the result of his great experience.

gagged the earnest attention Of the intelli-
gent and rejecting. That it may be great

Of those interested, we entertain no doubt,
and we feel assured that no agent can be so
efficient or powerful in the accomplishment
Of this great object as the Pres-a journal
which will afford to each and every planter
the facilities for teaching and being taught
BY his brothers. Through the medium OF
| such a journal, mind would be brought di-
rectly in contact with mind, and light and
truth elected. The planter OF Georgia,
would be made familiar with the systems
and experiments, and the successes or fail
ures of his brethren of the more remote
States of Texas and Arkansas, and all the
other cotton growing States. Teach one
another" should be the MOTTO Of every
planter, and in no way can this be SO sue
cessfully accomplished as through the medl.
UNI off journal devoted exclusively to the
cause and improvement of Agriculture.
Entertaining these views, the undersigned
| SENATORS and REPRESENTATIVES, in Con
gress from the Southern States, take great
pleasure in commenting to the favorable
consideration and liberal patronage Of the
Planters of the cotton growing States the
Southern CuttjUdto1 published by you.
In our opinion the South owes it to her
self, her interests and institutions, to ele.
vate the standard of Agriculture, and to
sustain, literally sustain, journals exclusive
ly devoted to its advancement; that those
engaged in it may reap the benefits OF the
discoveries in science and the current inn
provements in physics and mechanics. She
should no longer be dependent upon other
sections of the Union for Agricultural jour
nails, none of which are so exclusively devo-
ted to the promotion of her own Agricul-
ture as yours.
Hoping that your efforts to establish a
Periodical exclusively devoted to the pro-
gressive improvement of Southern Agricul-
ture, and the permanent prosperity ofthe
Scdth, may be properly appreciated by
those whose immediate interests it is de-
signed to foster, we are, very respectfully,
&c.
The terms are, one copy per year, $l,Oo-
Six copies for five dollars, and so in proportion.
Our planters should certainly not neglect sub.
scrlbing for this Southern work. /.

We quote from the communications
During the canvass through which our
State has but recently passed. an effort was
made by some individuals and portion OF
The Wing press in this ('he 3D. Congress
ional District, TO prejudice the election Of
General Clark TO the Legislature, from How.
ard county, by induslriousIy circulating
charges against him. OF "havng abandoned
his former political faith, and forming Goa
lition with the Anti Benton faction OF the
Democratic party" These charges brought
forward sgainst General Clark, Immediately
on The announcement OF his nsms as q can,
didate, were promptly met and answered in
his various public addresses through the coun.
~, which so far resulted in satisfying the
mind OF the mass Of The community, that
the two gentlemen who had been induced by
the enemies Of Gen. Clark TO take the field
against him, publicly withdrew from the
canvass, and announced in their published
card as reason for their course, that as
General Clark denied the charges against
him, they would no longer occupy position
calculated 10 divide and distract the Whp
party With such complete and sigma
triumph over his enemies, in their first effor

have seen the folly Of their course in attemp,

SO long and SO ably commended for the whig
policy; and with his explanation and the card
Of acquirtal. published by those whom they
had selected 10 oppose him, united heartily

for which he was then candidate"
Here is a decided effort to make i,
