The Sweet Potato.

This is one of the most useful and delightful of the
vegetable productions and of great benefit to the
South. 1t can only be grown to any perfection in
warm attitudes. With US it thrives wonderfully and
forms one of the many articles offood with which God
has blessed country. 1t yields abundantly even
ordinary ground, and is one Of the best and most
agreeable Of all our. vegetables.
The Sweet Potato is very fattening, and may be
cooked in any way-they are however best when
well baked Children and negroes are extremely fond
ofthem Stock of all kinds and poultry relish them
much.
They have been known to pr dice at the rate of
100 bushels to the acre from the roots-thus making
more than forty thousand pounds of excellent food
from acre. The cultivation of the Potato puts the
ground in most admirable order for any subsequent
crop. The Potato cut INTO slices, dried and parched
makes the best substitute for Coffee of any thing we
have ever known used-mixed in equal quantity with
Coffee it improves its color and richness. ~.

We find the following correspondence in the
Washington Republic of Saturday last:
WASHINGTON, July II, 1852.
DEAR SIR: Enclosed you will find an article,
in which, as Ole of the editors of the Southern
Press, of this city, took issue with my colleague
in advocacy of your claims to southern support
for the Presidency. That action was predicated
upon my belief of your entire soundness upon
the slavery question. Within the last week a
speech, puporting to have been delivered by YOU
in January last, has been republished from two
Democratic papers in your own State, (which arc
said now to support you.) On the truth or fall
sity of this much depends. Neither those with
whom I act nor myself, can consent that any
doubt should rest on a matter of such mpor-
tance, but, placing full reliance on the fearless
frankness Of your character, on their behalf and
my own, respectfully ask Of you whether that
report, which your southern supporters believe
to be without foundation as opposed to your pre-
vious course is correct?
The peculiar position which | occupy must
plead my apology for troubling you with this
letter.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
EDWIN DELDoN.

GErHsEMANE.-Lieut. Lynch, of the U. s.
Exploring Expedition to the River Jordan and
the Red Sea, in 1S4s, visited the garden of Geth-
scmane about the middle of May He says:
"The clover upon the ground was in bloom,
and altogether the garden, in its aspects and as;
sociations, was better calculated than any place
| know, to soothe a troubled spirit. Eight ven
cradle trees, isolated from the smaller and less
imposing ones which skirt the pass of the Mount
OF Olives, form consecrated grove. High above,
on either hand, towers lofty mountain, with the
deep, yawning chasm of Jehosaphat between
them. Crowning one of them is Jerusalem,
living city; OH the slope of the other is Jewish
ccmetry, city of the dead.
Each tree in this grove is cankered and gnarl-..
cd, and furrowed by age, yet beautiful and inn-s
pressive in its decay, is a living monumental the
affecting scenes thathave taken place beneath
and around it. The olive perpetuates ITSELF and

young tree springs into existence These are
accounted one thousand years old. Under those
Of the preceding growth, therefore, the Savior
was wont to rest and one of the present may
mark the very spot where he knelt and prayed
and wcpt. No cavilling doubt can find entrance
here. The geographical boundaries are too dis
tinct and clear for an instant's hesitation. Here
the Christian, forgetful of the present and alb
sorbed in the past, can resign himself to sad yet
soothing meditation. The few purple and GRIM
sod flowers growing about the roots of the tree,
will give ample food for contemplation
they tell of the suffering and ensanguined death
OF the Redeemer."

Dayton Gazette that the Miami valley is suffer-
ing sadly from the absence of rain. The pas
lures in many places, are burnt up; and many
of the streams falling. The corn between Day
ton and Cincinnati appears to be beyond the
benefit of rain; the under leaves-are dead, and
the top leaves are rolled up. At best there cam
not be much more than half crop of this staple
in the Miami valley. The stock of old corn on
hand will be likely to advance in price, as the
prospects Of the new crop becomes apparent.

The BOOK CoNcERN.-The following extract
from one of the New York letters of an exchan re
accounts for the delay in adjusting the question
of dividing the Methodist Book Concern situated
in New York.
',Thc long,pending difficulty between the Meth
odst Churches, North and South in respect to
the mammoth Book Concern in this city, has not
yet been finally disposed Of, although the princ-
pie involved was decided by The United States
Circuit Court favor of the Church South and
the Church North has determined not to appeal.
The cause of the delay is said to be the confused
state of the accounts of their concern, which the
most sklful book keepers find difficult to unrav-
el; and, until these accounts are straightcd out,
it will be impossible to ascertain the value Of the
concern. The fact is, the Book Coaccrn has
been in the hands of the most stupid and incom-
petent men that could have been called from the
whole field Of the Methodist denomination. They

SEVENTY Miles IN TWELVE HoURs.-At New
port, on Saturday last, a pedestrian accomplished
a very wonderful feat in his peculiar line. His
name is VIM. Hughes, and he is an Englishman.
Hc was to receive eighty dollars provided that
he walked seventy miles in fifteen hours, being
an average rate Of nearly five miles an hour.
Strange as it may seem, he not only accomplish
cd this immense labor, but also-in three hours
less time than his limit His walk was from the
north corner of the Atlantic House to the south
corner of the Ocean House, and seventy miles
required him to traverse this space one hundred
and eighty times. Hughes commenced walking
at o'clock in the morning and concluded his
last round at 20 minutes past 4 in the afternoon.
This was an average walk Of about, six miles per
hour. Hughes was lightly dressed, seemed to
be but little fatigued, and said that it people were
not satisfied lie could walk five miles more.
A vast number were assembled to witness it,
and many gentlemen timed him, with watch i'll
hand, for several hours. During one part of the
day he stretched himself on a plank for few
moments, and occasionally stopped to drink
glass Of beer
