WELL AND SPRING CLEANING. AS all tumn
is approaching, we earnestly advise all per-
sons who use well water and spring water,
TO have both wells and springs thoroughly
cleaned out, and then washed out in early
May and also during October, as there is
strong reason to believe that the settings
which have accumulated, including decay ed
vegetation, impart their disease engendering
qualities to the water, and thus originate
some of the most dangerous forms Of low or
typhoid fever, at time of the year when the
weather is cool as to preclude the idea of
their arising from vegetable decomposition.
The stencil of the Debris at the bottom of
wells should induce all clearly persons to cx-
purgate them thoroughly, aside from consil.

CABBAGEs FOR Milk Cows.-We would
advise our readers to raise more cabbages for
feeding milk cows late in the Fall. We raised
40 Oh small patch adjoining the ba1n-yard.
They were the Flat Dutch, planted four feet
apart, in the latter end of July. and averaged
70 pounds per head. One of them was a
good feed for milk COW at night and kept
up their milk wonderfully.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ZItU-
Ems Con- The Presidents Message Is
REGARDED by all as evidently bid for the
Charleston nomination.
Old Buck goes the whole figure on The Ter
ritarial question with the tire-eaters. He vir-
tually promises them the advanced step
which Senator Brown some time since an
nounced to the people Of Mississippi he was
ready to take. The universal Interpretation
of his language is that he goes for Ii Congrrs~
sional Slave Code for the protection Of slave
~ ia the Territories, if the extreme South
should claim that il was necessary and de-
mand il. lie affirm in 80 many words that
no human power can ever impair the tenure
of slave property in the Territories. II mer-
cilessly knilcs the popular sovereignty dogma
or dodge OF Senator Douglas to the hilt.
The anti-Lecompton and other Northern
Democrats denounce the message ia CONVEX
sation.

stephen A. douglas and HIS Friends
In the House.

Occasional" the well known Washington
correspondent of Colonel FoRNEY's Press,
writes
at is not tine most agreeable spectacle for
a Northern Democrat to witness the manner
in which the cOntemptuOus assaults of the
South upon Judge Douglas are received by
members of his own delegation. have been
present in the House several times when the
Democrats from Illinois. instead of repelling,
with just indignation. the offensive repuda-
ton of their great standard-bearer by the ex-
treme men of the South, have answered such
assaults by signiiyiug their willingness to
carry all the burdens thy may put upon
their backs and immediat ly after a violent
fre-eater has declared his determination not
to vote for Judge Douglas, should he be
nominated at Charleston" Democratic Rep
resentatives from Illinois step forward and
vote for a candidate for Speaker who is the
choice and the Etvorie of the enemies of
Stephen A. Douglas When Mr.. Logan of
Illinois, responded, the other day, that he
would support the candidate of the Charles
ton CONVENTION. no matter who he may be,
Immediately after Mr.. Singleton. of Misslssip-
pi, bad declared that he never would support
Stephen A. Douglas, could see shame and
modification depicted upon the faces of North
ern Democrats in the galleries, by whom
was surrounded and when, only yesterday,
Mr.. Fouke declared that he would support
the candidate Of The Charleston Convention
upon "any" platform. / could see contempt
aud scorn on the faces Of the Southern men,
who. like gallant spirits, proclaim their de-
termination to have nothing to do with the
Charleston Cow enton unless it yields itself
implicitly and entirely to them. Now. the
Democratic Representatives from Illinois are
either right or they are wrong. They have
been elected to Congress upon platform
which they supported sincerely, or which
they did not support sincerely.

"a" The Cincinnati Enquirer pronounces
the appointment of Mr.. BENJAMIN, of La, to
the Craftsmanship of the Senate Committee
on Private Land Claims, to be great out
rage, that gentleman laboring under the
grave charge OF surreptifiously procuring an
act of Congress. confirming grant of certain
lands in Louisiana, whereby several hundred
families were unjuslly turned out Of their
homes. The Washington correspondent OF
the Enquirer thus states the case :
Near the close of The last session of Con-
gress, two prominent citizens of Louisiana
presented a memorial charging Senators Sill
dell and Benjamin. Of that State, with having
procured an act OF Congress surreptitiously
confirming the HOumas land grant, by which
five hundred families were turned out of their
homes in Louisiana, and several hundred
Thousand dollars worth of property voted
into the pocket of Slidell, with the allegation
that Mr.. Benjamin received certainly ten
thousand, and probably forty thousand dol
lars for his services in procuring the grant.
Congress having ino time to examine the
question, passed a joint resolution suspebd-
ing the Issuing of the patent until the end OF
this session OF Congress with Il knowledge
that this question would come before the
committee OF private land-claims at this ses-
sion. and that The accuSers are now in this
city, renewing the charges. Mr.. Benjamin,
who is the party implicated, has been APP
pointed Chairman of the committee to iuVes-

Gs- Mr.. SEwARD's visit to the Old World
has resulted 10 convincing him that Africa
can never be civilized--neither by the occu-
patton of Europeans, nor by the improve
ment of the natives. In letter. which has
found its way to the public in the columns
of the albany Journal, be says:
''This morning. The third day of our voy-
age, We looked out upon coast indented
with sand-hiils and thronged with many
ships. Soon Damietfa, which is at the east
crn mouth OF the Nile, appeared IN view.
The c0asf Is low and sandy, The mouth oil the
river unseen, but the crowd of shipping IN
dictate a great seaport. We ale creeping from
that port toward Jaffa, having probably TIA
ken leave of Africa forever. The English
and French have contested for supremacy Of
ten on lis coast as Greeks and Persians, Ro-
mans and Carthagenians Gid-but / 0na sure
that africa ,raH Nicer fall under. or permit Euro
pean ssco. NeilLer lis s0l6y coast, as Tecli-
lar, hal -sovage people uiA eUer 0dmd Of Euro
pear habitations under the s,o0y Of Europeans"
Again, in the same letter, he exclaims
Farewell, Africa the only region Of he
trorid phieh Py0uideIlce seems to hare fortified
against cipiLizGfiOn.'
Mr.. SEWARD would do well TO apply these
facts to his theory of hostility to the slavery
of that portion of the African race domiciled
in the United States--the Only portion of that
race that has or can be civilized.
