Southern Pro spesis.

1t is extremely pleasing 10 observe that the
South is every day becoming more and more
convinced of the necessity of bestrring itself
andncovering tspolitical preponderance through
the agency of direct trade, and by exerlions il,
the vast fields of industry which are open to it.
That the South, with its beautiful climate
with its rich and varied soils, should be behind
any other portion of the States of North Am
erica, is altogether contrary to sense. 1t has
slumbered for moment, but only for moment
Its energy revolts at any unnatural dependence
or misdrection of its resources, and now calcu
lating the cost of its false position, it is best
irring itself for good effort in the of free
dom.
Its natural advantages are immense. IL is
not enough to grow cotton, and increase con.
stantly its production; there is iron ore, wool
timber, leather. corn, as well as rice, sugar, and
tobacco. Cattle might be reared in abundance
and in the mountainous districts any quantity OF
sheep. There is plenty of water power; and
by the establishment of manufactures, il might
become as politically independent as it could
desire.
We are glad to see encouraging accounts OF
increased trade from Charleston, Savannah, ant
Baltimore. Sheep industry is making progress
in Virginia. and seems likely to extend itself int
other States Texas, we understand, is favo
rable country for it.
The construction of railroads and plan
roads will tend greatly to the development c
all these natural resources, and will knit te
gether in firmer bonds the various Southern
States.
We hope TO see the time when steamships 0
the first class will ply as regularly with Nortl
ern Europe from our Southwestern ports, a
they do now from Boston and New York Bu
we hope to see further, line direct to South

Southern Europe is about to wake up to
and recover those immense natural advantages
which she has lost through the selfish policl
and brutality Of Northern oppressos. II

From Letter in The Journal Of Commerce

Every phianthropic enterprise, fanatical pre-
judice and inuovation-w whimsy must now be elo-
rihed by public meetings and set barrangues. in
Great Britain, and perhaps, on your side of the
Atlantic. You have not overlooked the circum-
stance that the oratory at the anniversary as
semblage of the British and Foreign Anti. .SIav
cry Society was directed altogether against the
United States. Mr. George Thompson, NJ. p,
might have been expected on the platform, TO re-
ate his recent experiences; but he reserved
himself for the anniversary of the passing of the
West India emancipation-act celebrated by col
ored people, Mr. w. Wells Brown, a fugitive
slave, in the chair. Thompson, before he ranted,
introduced Rev Mr.. +. Mathews, with the pc
culiar recommendation that he had been mobbed
in Kentucky for preaching emancipation. The
NJ. p. surpassed himself in the rancorous vo-
lence aud coarse grain of the obloquy which he
lavished on America. The Rev. Mr.. Mathews
moved the convocation by piteous narrative Of
his adventures; the Keutuckans deliberated-
"monsters as they are'-whether the should
hang, drown shoot, or t.r and feather the apostle
and, finally, they threw him into pond, and
ducked him ten times, before the could extract
from him his solemn affirmation, that he would
never enter the State again. 1t is probable that
he will observe this engagement"

turage.

The attention of farmers, especially of the
surrounding country, is earnestly invited to the
subject Of sowing rye the first or second week
in September, in the corn fields (for n crop,) and
on the wheat stubble, where il may be narrowed
in, or other lands intended for corn next year
as the pasturage of the luxuriant rye (Which a
little guano will make) for milch cows, fatte n
ing sheep, or other stock, will no doubt pay a
handsome profit and fertize the land.
Apart from this, the green rye covering the

WASHINGTON, AUG. I2. 1851

Gen. Campbell, formerly the United States
consul at Havana, is now here, and his advice
and information to Cuban affairs, in their
present critical condition, will be valuable to
the government.
OF course, intelligence from Cuba is looked
for with great anxiety by all. Every irnagin-
able rumo- and speculation az to the result, is
afoat. 1t cannot be disguised that tn matter
is serious and that The national honor and ma
tional welfare are deeply involved in it,
There is, almost everywhere, growing SEN
timent among the American people, in favor OF
a revolution in Cuba, and of the establishment,
of Cuban independence, and hence the unlawful
foraY upon Cuba, no commenced, is likely to
be aided or winked at.
This government it is believed, is poweress
to prevent or to punish the violations Of the act
of 1918.
The district attorney Of Louisiana, Mr.. Hun
ton, who was lately here is said TO have giver
this opinion in regard, at least, to New Orleans
But this government must do something on
the subject, and the question is whether, as an
alternative to the process of acquiring Cuba by
indirect means, they had not better attempt its
acquisition by fair and open means--by fair pur.
chase.
Let the government make an offer to Spain
ofa hundred millions of dollars for Cuba, out OF
which sum she can pay the British debt on mort
gage of ffty-one millions. Even if we were "a
pay twice this sum- it might be good economy
by preventing a long foreign war, which in one
way and another would cost as much more.
1t is very true, however, that if we talk of buy
ing Cuba it will damp the patriotic ardor of those
of our people who wish to steal it,

THE WONDERS OF CALIFoRNIA-Professor
Shepard in giving an account of his recent ex-
ploration of California, portrays the country in
the following enthusiastic, c,almostromantic, style:
have now explored California for nearly
two years. | can truly say it is land of won
ders. There are fresh flowers every month in
the year, and winter now wears the bloom of
spring. have found waterfalls three and four
times as high as Niagara; natural bridges, OF
white marble, far surprising in beauty that of
Rockbridge, Va. some thousands OF gold bear
ing veins, inexhaustible quantities of iron and
crome ores, lead, bismuth, and quicksilver, most
beautiful porcelain clay, and, in short, every =
thing that can bless an industrious and enter
prising people. In one valley, | found more
than 40 springs of over one hundred degrees
Fahrenheit. In another valley sixteen geysers,
like the famous one in Iceland In this famous
abode Of Vulcan the rocks are so hot that you
cin stand upon them but a short time even with
thick boots on. The silicious rocks are besched
to snowy whiteness, and brecciated and con-
gl merate rocks are now actually forming. The
roar of geysers at times may be heard mile or
more, and the moment is one of the most in
tense interest as you approach them"

Correspondence Of the Journal Of Commerce
WASHINGTON August 18th
have seen a private letter from Northern
commercial house, which has long had exten-
slve commercial connexions with Cuba, and il
contains some suggestions which appear to me
of sufficient interest for publication The
writer gives the opinions of the highly respect
ed and intelligent English c. nsul general in
Havana. Mr.. Crawford, on the present insurrec-
ton. Mr.. Crawford thinks that there is no
prospect of successful revolution at present
but has no doubt that, ultimately, the island
must be wrested from Spanish rule He states
that the captain general had renewed to him
the threat or declaration that. in case of serious
revolt, he shall lberate and arm the slaves, and
invite them to murder their Creole masters
would here remark that Mr. OSullivan
stated, as an excuse for the tardiness of Cubans
to assert their claims to independence, that they
were afraid to encounter the horrors of seryile
nsurrection.
The letter also states that the captain gen.
era of Cuba had said to an American gentle
man that he wished the Americans, and espcc-
ally the Southern politicians, to know that if
they acquired Cuba, they could not again sub
Ject the negroes TO slavery.
II appears to me that the Captain General is
unwse thus to hold out this invitation and pro-
vocation to our Aboliionists, who desire no.
thing so much to acquire Cuba, for the pur-
pose of raising negro revolt, and converting
The island into another ST. Domingo Ifthe Alb
olitiJnists take hold of the Cuban revolt, they
will prove to be the worst sort of Flllibusteros
The governor will find them troublesome Gus
toners. They will come higher law" over
him with vengeance.
The letter also states, as the opinion of OBJ
servant men, that the free negro population Of
the island will join with the whites against the
slaves in case of trouble.
The important statement is also made, that
the Dons are looking out for snug quarters aud
safe retreat. They are by every packet, send

sums, for investment here, in ease of their ex

LEvERETTs LATIN LEXICON,

ENLARGED AND IMPROVED, compiled chiefly from
ll the Magnum Totus Latinitas Lexicon at Facciolat
and Forceni and the German works of scheer and Lue
nemann, embracing, also, the classical distinctions Of
words, and the chronological Index from Freunds Lexi
con.
The present edition of this standard and yorite Latin
Lexicon has been much improved by the transfer to its
columns of the classical distinctions of Latin words, rs
given in the Lexicon of Dr. Vim. Freund, of Germany,
and translated by Riddle The classical degree Of each
word is indicated by figure; for example, word rttom
figure is fully classical and Ciceronian acu the figures
l. 2 and 3, words classical only in the first, sec
ond &C., degrees and this distinction the student per-
ceves Mt glance. The chronological Index also from
Freund Lexicon has been incorporated into the present
edition of Levcrett, and will be found valuable acqus
ton While transferring these notes and marks, cata
ogues carefully kept of the words found in each
Lexicon, which not found in the other On compar-
ing these catalogues found that the value and i'm
portance of the additional words found in Leyeret so far
knowledge of the Latin language is concerned,
far exceeds that of those found in Riddles Freund The
extensive of Leverets Lexicon in all parts of the
country and the preference which has been universally
given to 1t all similar works, render its recommenda
ton superuous; but attention to this edition is
respectfully invited being still worthy than its
predecessors of the distinguished favor which the work
has hitherto received.
