Leaving the Treasury minus $l,756,438
sand this loss TO the General Government
was sustained whilst the States Of Illinois
and Missouri were making hundreds of miles
of railroad with the funds derived from pub
lie lands voted them by Congress. have no
document Mt hand to show how much the
State of Michigan has been benefited by the
appropriation Of public lands for her use, but
the amount is enormous. 10 fact, every
Western State is furnished with internal i'm
provements without, comparatively speaking,
one cent of expense to its own citizens by
this unconstitutional and unjust appropriation.
Most or us voted for General Cass for the
Presidency, and few of US comparatively
would nave refused to vote for Mr.. Douglas
had he been nominated for that office; now
these statesmen have not hestated to nsk for
and receive large donations for their States.
as it not worse than folly for us to neglect
the opportunity to secure the land benefit for
Old Virginia, when the deeds of cesson and
endorsement of the constitution demonstrate
the consttutonaliiy and propriety of distri,
button of these lands for the benefit of all the
States. The General Government was the
trustee under the deeds of cession by which
Virginia ceded away her immense domain Of
the western territory. There can be no doubt
that Congress is constantly violating that
trust by donations of lands granted for the
common benefit, to particular States. Pru-
dcnce and Justice alike dictate demand that
the land should be distributed for the use and
behoof of all.
an this state of things cannot hesitate TO
declare with Jefferson and Jackson that the
old States are entitled, under the constitution,
to their ds,ributive share Of the public do
main, and should be elected to the Legisla-
ture, will use all honorable endeavors to
secure, what ] deem to be, the rights Of our
State. 1t may not be improper to add here
The progress of events has dvested this spb-
ject of party bearing. The whole West
coming to the halls of Congress presenting
an unbroken phnlanx, and Wings and Demo-
Gratis are found charging side by side to Sc
cure this rich booty. They not only demand
a part of the public land, but threaten in a
few years to become strong enough to take
the whole of the public lands. ], therefore,
rcpudiale it Ms party issue, and plant myself
upon the position that it is our right and our
duty to act speedily and vigorously to secure
our rights"

MEMPHIS AND CHARLESTON RAILROAD
REcEIPTs FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL.-We
are indebted to Mr.. Sam. Tate, President of
the Memphis and Charleston Railroad Com

earnings of the road for the month of April,
the first month the road was opened through
and in actual operation from this point to
Stevenson, its eastern terminus, distance of

THE Cur WoRM.-The Memphis Bull

tIn OF oUHuHy HHs IHe TUTIUWTHE.
We learned, yesterday, from a gentleman
from the neghborhood of Raleigh, that the
cut.worms were destroying young vegetation
generally, and particularly corn and cotton
gardens, too, are suffering very much from
the same cause, and it is feared, unless old
Sol is less chary of his warmth, that sec
ond planting of everything will be necessary.
To make the matter worse, cotton seed is
very scarce, and ifa second planting is nee.
essary, many will have to curtail their crop.

THE PUBLIC LANDs.-The American and
Wing Convention, recently held at Nashville,
adopted the following resolutions, as so
many planks in our platform, and we are
proud to have the land distribution leading
issue in this contest:
Resolued, That all the States of the Union
are entitled to participation in the public
bounty; and that policy of the party in power,
by which the public lands are appropriated,
in large quantities, for the benefit ofparticu
lar States, is unjust unequal and injurious to
the old States, and ought not to be tolerated.
Resolued, That Tennessee, in her insulated
position, heretofore omitted among the favor
ties in the distribution of the public lands,
with her load of debt, incurred for the devel-
opment of her resources, has deep stake in
that policy which shall co her justice, and
supply the means of saving her people from
taxation.

INJURY TO CoTToS.-We find the follow
ing alarming account Of the destruction Of the
cotton plant in the Montgomery Mail of last
week:
The Cotton Epidemic-The Tap Root
Disedse.-Yesterday we spoke somewhat of
the dying out of the cotton plant in all the
country from which we had heard. Since
that article was written we have met several
planters, and we find no exception to the rule.
II is regular vegetable epidemic, likely to
prove more disastrous to the world than the
putatoe rot. A short crop this season will be
a curse TO all concerned, and a short crop we
are bound to have. The only question is
are we to have sufficient stand with which to
make half crop? Hail and freshets have
spread devastatons in the finest cotton re-
gions of Alabama-or of the wo:d-but hail
and freshets are local and the injury they in
flict cannot compare with the nsidious disease
of the tap root of the cotton plant--a sort of
consumption, superinduced by cold and wet,
under which the young plant yields up its lie
with the first few hours of sunshine
Breajstnffs, as well, are scarce and high in
all the cotton regions. win not the planters
who are plowing up their frost-bitten cotton,
be wise and plant in corn What are we to
do, without corn or cotton, We do not see.

The Crisis,

Who will stand up and who will back
down.-lf rumor is not at fault, within
the last six hours, those valiant parties
OF the treasonous Black Republican ranks
Who were engaged few days since, in
Champaign, Clark and Greene Counties.
In resisting the authorities of the T.
nited States, who were engaged in the
execution of the fugitive law, will have
fair opportunity to show their pluck
whether they will stand up to the
Black Republican scribe of open nulEif-
cation and armed treason, as counsslled
BY the party, or whether they will con-
slider "diseretioa the better part of val,
or when they find that the power of
the Government is after them, a.d let
down! We hear it rumorsd that war
rants are out, authorized from the Ma
tional Headquarters for ali the promi-
nent residents in those counties. That
the Marshais are now after those who
have not already absconded, and the
treason party in Ohio, Governor Chase
- captain, will shortly have a good
chance to show their ceiors-to stand up
or back down-Cin. Enc. 10.

ASs. Petersburg letter in the Cxor. of
Cncow, gives the following e1trsordin.-
~ story: ~ 49, =.
"A tragical drama has just taken place
hers. The agent of Count Sch-who
had been to the bank to receive sum of
$4,000 silver ronblcs, lost the package of
notes on his way home The money was
picked up BY clerk, who instead of
giving the property at once to the owner,
followed him to his house and inqnired
the name Of the person who lived there.
The finder of the money returned home,
hesitating in his own mind how he should
act. When he arrived there a violent
quarrel took place between him and his
wife, the latter wishing to keep the mon
~. The clerk, however, on the following
morning, went to the house of the Count
to deliver the sum, but the latter would
not receive it, stating that his agent had
committed suicide in the plight in con.
sequence of the loss. Overcome with
remorse, the clerk returned home, where
he found that during his absence hi,
Sife had hanged herself from vexation at

that the three great powers of Europe are
resolved upon forcing China into such a
position that heneeforth she will be moth
ing but vassal of the alliance Some
irifing frontier collisions having taken
pAice on the kusso-Chinese border, the
c.ar has taken advantage Of them as a

Cool Butter.

A writer in the Scientific American
rscccmmends to the ladies very simple
Arrangement for keeping butter nice and
cool Ia the hottest weather. Procure u
large new flower pot, Of saffcien, size to
cover the butter plate, and also saucer
large enough for the flower pot to rest up
aide down, place a triyet or meat stand,
such ~ Is sent to the oven when Joint
y baked, in the saucer, and put on this
trivct the plate Of butter, now fill the
saucer with water and turn the flower
pot over the butter, 80 that its edge viii
be just below the water. The hole in
Che flower pot must be fitted with cork;
the butter win then be in what we may
call m alright chamber Let the whole
ofthe outside of the flower pot be thor
oughly drenched with water, and place it
IN - cool place as you can. If this be
done over night, the butter will be ~
''frm a. rock" ut breakfast time Or.
ifplaced there in the morning the butter
viii be quite hard for use at tea hour
The reason Of this is, that when water
evsporates, it produces cold; the porus
pot draws up the water in warm weather
quickly evaporstes from the sides and
eoels II, and as no warm air can now &c,
