nte Agriculturist.-We have r -ceived the four first numbers of the second volume of this periodical, published ,in Nashville, Tenn., at $2 per annum, payable- in ad vance; and take pleasure in recommend ing it to the patronage of Agriculturists and the pulic generally, as it contains a varte ty of useful matter on numerous subjects, as wqrll as that of Agriculture; and is a pe riodical that deserves to find a place in the library of all who seek knowledge. Ventriloquism.-The citizens of our vil-, Jage were much gratified by an exhibition given by Mr. D. E. DUDLEY, of his won derful powers of VENTtILOqUISm. and pro ficiency in the Art or Legerdemain, and the tricks done by him, were both amusing and instructive; we therefore recommend him to the public as worthy of patronage. . The Appeal of the Journeymen Tailors, in Augusta, which appeariin our columns to-day,- ought to receive the notice of all camea of mechanics in the country, and such steps, taken to stop in future. all snch arisocratie proceedings, either by holding upo pablic scorn the employer, who would place the white journeyman upon .a level with the negro, in all the cities of the Union, through the medium of the indepeadent presses, or handbill his or their names in every city, hamlet or village iti our yast extent of country; and we hope there are so presses in the country but would assist them, it the maintenance of their mechan ical rights. The case of the journeymen Tailors we conceive to be hard; more es pecially, as the employers have not, we are informed, reduced their prices, one iota, to the consumer, but are now putting work, made by negroes, who are known to be inferior workmen, upon the public, at the same rates, as that made heretofore by white workmen of the first class. We have always been, and still remain, advocates for fair prices, to journeymen mechanics, .and have always considered that employ ers, in all cases of reduction, should com mence the work themselves towards their .customers, thereby showing an example, which the journeymen will, without a mur mer generally follow; -but we find, in all cases of reduction of wages, the consumer is never once thought of as a party, and the poorjourneyman, who has to do all the la bor, is the only sufferer. Some employers are apt to cry out "hard times," when they find they have made bad speculations, in Bank, Rail Road, Canal, or other vision ary stocks, ot&ers dabble too much in po .litical stock, with the hope of its, at least, -raising them, above par, by their appoint 4aent to some good oice, and wheasuch rmployers are disappointed, which some must be,they almost invariably By to the sedutliod.of. the pricesgiven to.the jonu afi* . nier 6r other hirstings under .their control, to-make up, sometimes, the losses sustained. We do not think we would hazard contradiction, in saying that we have no regular bred mechanic in our village, or district, who would offer a white man, who had served a regular time at any buisiness, the same price they would a negro. We would recommend to the notice of our citizens who trade in Augusta, Mr. JAMS ManaANa, No. 222 Broad-street, as a gentleman, who has acted the part of an honest mechanic, by employing white journeymen, instead of negroes, and reel confident they will find him worthy of their support.. ' The Neto Era states, that Daniel Web ster has appointed lsaac W. Kelly, his bro ther in law, Marshal for New Hampshire district; and Joe1 Eastman, another rela tive, Attorney for the same district. The great expounder has been accused of tak ing too good care of the members of his household, to the exclusionr of more desery lng Federalists, and this looks very much as though there was good ground for the accusation. Log Rolig.-John Tyler, in 182$5, when in uhe United States Senate, declar that " The United States Bank had origi nated a system of j~uming and peculation that-had hardly ever been equalled." The late report in regaird to the affairs of the bank shows that this declaration, strong as it was, was true to the letter. Will ex oeii President Tyler, join with Webster, *Clay. Preston, and the rest of the Log Ret flng party mow, and sauction an institution ~for the purpose of originating "a systemn of gaming and peculation ?" * The N. York Evening Post gives an ac *count of a loss by fire, on the night of the 7th inst., in that city, of merchandize, &c. to the amount of about $170,000, par:: of bhich was insured ; the loss on the build ings, are supposed ter be about $20.000. The Post states: "The battle was ad naire'oly well fought, but the fire had made sane: progress before it was diacovered that nothing but thtethdrough manner in which the stores were built. in addition to the ef fortsof the firemen, prevented an extensive eowflagration. We need not inform our city readers, that the ground whore this fire occurred, was burnt over by the memorable conlagration of J835; wich was taken as a authcient . hint -to build in future with some little regard to safety. Consequent ly, the main walls of all the stores burnt. are still standing." Edxgcation Statitic.-We have in the Uni ted States, 88 college., 12 law schools, 95 med ical seminaries, 20 divinity schools, and more ,that 1000 classica! acadecwies. AGRICULTURAL MEETINU.

We have been visited by cold, heavy rains, nearly.every second day for the last month, wbich have operated greatly to the disadvantage of the farmers of the middle and upper districts. In the lower-country it has been impossible'to get a gord stand of cotton, and we have heard the same complaint made in tiis district in regard to corn. .Small grain generally looks well; and the prospect never was better for a great abundance of fruit, of all kinds, than at present -Greenile Mount'r. 1Ath inst. From the Charleston Courier, Extract of a letter from a large Cotton planter in the upper country, dated Union District, May 1, and received here on Sa turday. last: "The prospects for a Cotton crop this year, are very bad hereabouts. We have had a remarkably cold spring, with much wind and cold ramt_.whichhave. proaxuaed the-iottonseedmfrom coming up, and the pround is baked so hard on the seed that it never will come up; and some are plough ing up the land and planting over, and ma ny more would do this if they had seed. I shall be compelled to plough up. some of myfioliis, and plant corn instead ofecotton. What I have stated is a general thing over this section as far as I have heard-and ii known in Europe would or ought to raise the present price of cotton.". THE STEAM SHIP PRESIDENT. In an extra from the Halifax Morning Post, giving the news by the Britannia, we find the following :. From the Dublin Ewening Mail. "Till PaEs:DENT-MroaTANT." "Just as we were going to press, thie fol lowing facts were commutnicatedl to its: "A letter this day reached Dublin, bear ing the H-avre post mark, of the 10th of April, which was posted at Quebec on the J0th of March, and directed to be sent by the President. "It hesars the New-York date atamp of the 8th of March three days prior to the day fixed for the sailing uf that vessel; therefore it is inferred that if the letter came by her that she is safe, or, at all events, that her crew and passengers have escaped tbe fate to which it was feared they had been doomed." From our Correspondent. Office of the Georgian, SAAN, May 12, 1841. From St. Augustine. The steamer 7illiain Gaston, Capt. Griffin, has just arri'.ed, and to our atten tive correspondent the editor of thfe Geor gian is indebted for the follwing: ST. AUUSsTINE. May 10.-Trhe steam en William Gaston, Capt. Griffin, arrived here on Saturday last, from the Slouthern Posts. We learn by the arrival that Wild Cat (Coacheechee) had been in with fifteen warriors at Indian River, and went out again on the morning of the 5th instant. They demanded powder anid ball of tihe offiers, which was refused. He then a,. sumed-an air of dignity, and appeared as though be didi not care for any of them. We regret to learn that Lient Shubrick, 17. . N.. accidentally shot away a pdrt of his race, while on ascent in the Everglades, a short time since. Nxw OaRLcis, May 6..' From Texa.-By the arrival of the steamship Neptune, in 32 hours from Gal veston, we have recived Texas papers to the 2d inst. The manifest of the- etune states that news :had been received from Austin at Galveston, that the loan had been regotiated at 95 cents, at Paris. This mustbe a mistake, as the negotiations which were to depide the per centage to,be given an the bonds were not terminateil at tho last European dates. -. The.French Corvette Sabine, was still at Galveston. - Corn was selling on the Colorada at 25 cents per bushel. "We learn," says the jloustoniaw;",sim the Austin papers, ;hat~a skirmuish tbok place near Larado, on the 8th of A pHI,-be tween a company of Tezian spies. under ty or Me1xicans, which resulted in the to tal defeatrof thelatter. The Mehxicans were f oirty in number, of whoni three were .anumber wounded, and tw taken p nt of the hborses rfe. wer n. The spiel coeislted of twelve Aui'W ea and thirteen Mexicans, none of'ihil received ay injury. We have not room to publish the offiieal report of Capt.

The Mill is capable of- cutting from 2:100 to 3000 feet of lumber perday ; and we have lhad a demand for the same, which we have had no means to meet, and ive feel-confident in say ing that such will continue to be the case, as it is situated in the margin of the pine woods, ad. jacent to a wealthy section of country, which is almost destitute of pine suitable for building. The situation is elevated and-healthy, and well calcnlatedfor a public stand; there is on the tract of land an abundance of timber, and about three hundred acres, which. is deemed almost equal to any lands in thedistrict, in point of fertility, of which about sixty acres are in cultivation, . There is also on the premises a large Car penter's shop, Blacksmith's shop, stables and crib, (framed,) together with other buildings. Those that-may wish to purchase, would do well to call and examine thie property for them selves; and if they should wish to make a pri vate contract far the same, we would efier them to Henry R. Williams, who is on the premises, or either ofus, who can be round near Milton Post Office, Laurens district. We will furthermore state for the information of those that might wish to purchase the En gine, without the other properly.. that we will sell it alone; the engine is thirty-nine horse pow er, as computed by Mr.,W. B. Lockwood, the Engineer who sot it up; and is capable of driv ing one alab saw, one gang of 12 saws, and one set of 'iders; as the times is hard, and mo ney earoiN we will take negro roperty - -o women and cil1dred would be p t idirofour, two and three years, the. purchaser giving approved notes. 4' WILIJAMS & GRIFFIN.

JAMES MANAHAN. Augusta May 17, -* 10 TO THE PUBLIC. T HE Journeymen Tailors of Augusta, MP fering under the lash of the must malig nant oppression and persecution, respectfully ask the attention of the public to this plain state ment of their position and situation. The employers of this -ciy, on the ninth of March last, considering the wages of their jour neymen exhorbitant, united and combined themselves-not to put down the wages to suit the exigences of the time-swithomt asking die co-operation of the journemen to cormet er rors, or put down the rate of items that might be considered unfair or unreasonable, resolved recklessly to strike right to the heart's core of the poor man's rights. to tear up root and branch, his privilege-even to be acknowledged a party to a bargain in which his necessities were as much interested as the avarice of die employer. They offered us an alternative to work for their prices or be discharged. Prices too insignificant and contemptible to be looked at by men-if within their hearing we may presume to call ourselves such. We were dis. charged. We then offered a compromise of 10 per cent. to 15 per cent, discount on our old prices, which added to the 1&or JS per cent. disconut on the depreciated money we were compelled to receive as pay, would make a fair deduction of 25 to 33 per eent. on the original prices. (It is useless here for us to undertake to show to a mercantile community, that the 25 or 33 per cent. alone is conside a fair profit in any ordinary business. We would also call remembrance that this 25 or 33 per centum is added to the usui profit on every garment made and trimmed. or sold to order, and necessarily comes from the customer, and the difference in the amount that the customer has to pay in funds, and'the depreciated money thatty pay their workman is a gain in the employers bands.) This offer wa' refused as a matter of course, the next proposition should come from them-we waited quietly and silently for this proposition-instead of offering any they be came enraged at the bare idea of a parcel of poor men presuming to have understanding and wills of their own. Maddened withaivariciou hunger they rush ed like starving wolves t6satify,ther a pe-. teson any thing-that they-entice into their They brimg negroesfrom auotherstate with self-satifiedexctatioithat theycanHUMBUG the communiiy into the belief that the REFU SED negro tlors of-Charleston cant produce as masterly work as ourselves.
