This. however, we ire disposed to think has resulted rather 'om the defects in tbe-construction of she - toMee, than any other cause-an opinion 1 Vbir we have long entertained,and which he article of "A Planter" has materially trengtheoed. It is very apparent to our ind and we dosthe-ot will be to Mr. oanse, that his house was entirely too lose eseluding as it did that fre6 eircnla-I ion of air which "A Planter" regards so ecessary to the preservation of the potato. Jo reply to The enquiry of Mr. Powers, whibetr any experitents have ever been nade to test the practicability or making agar frot sweet potatoes," we reply.that tone haos come within our observation, nor isve we any whore seen or beard of a ingle experiment of the kind. Mr. Editor-in looking over the last ,ultivator, I see something baid about weet potatoes, which should interest a eorgian as much as does the- irimb potato E-Ni berner, for I have long been of the pinion.^l&at o acre of land welt planted and cultivated in potatoes, would yieldl nore profit to a family than any other cul ivation we could give it ; and. although t is generally adatued, it is frequently egleted. fer shte idea that they will not tep soun4 an'd good throtgh the winter.

The next case, of an aggravated char acter, was that or Patrick McCarty, for the killing of Thonas Flemming, an oc currence or very recent date. Aller a full investigation. and the services of able counsel, he was found guilty of Voluntary Manslaughter. These two cases engrss ed the week, with the exception of a ease for larceny.iu which tbe defeudant,Recvcs. was convicted. On Monday of his week, the Court opened w ith the Hon. Francis 1-. Cone, of the Oemsulgee Circuit, on she iench this distinguished jurist having been invit ed by Judge Sturgis to preside in cases in which the latter had Counsel, and to lighten, in some degre'. the labors of a Irtracted sessions. After an able and searching charge to the second patel of the Grandl Jury. the case of the State vs. Thomas C. McKeen for robbery. was cal led, and a motion made by his counsel (or a continuaitce. ou the ground f the all sence of material witnesses. Argument con this 'motion was heard from Messrs.

The case of John L. Ldyispasho is in cluded in the same bill uith W'Keen, as an accessary after the fact. was.then cal led; and, after the necessary waivers, the State and Col.

A PLANTER. Green-County, Ga., May 10, 1843. lb - EDES, Errisoniau CouTrv. GA.. May 16th, 1843. - Mr. Editr-lo your last number yev invite communications upon the subject ol preserving the sweet potate. As 1 have had some experience in that way, I will give you what I have round to be the most successful plan. Large hills or banks never keep so well as small ones; twenty bushels are sufficient. I open a hole lor bed about a root deep, in bigh dry land, (deeper would be better.) put the potatoes in a conical form. and cover with pine straw and corn stalks, or stalks alone, at first, and then with earth (rota eight to twelve inches deep. Covering lightly at first and increasing the quantity of earth "s the cold increases, would probably be better; but I have alwayrfound more risk in cevering too lightly than too heavily. The-only advamitage in putting straw or swalks,.is to deep the earth from mixin; a ith the potatoes. as I have no doubt they wouldkeep equally svell, or better, to put the earth on without either straw or stalks. L built a. bonus smen oasr ago of clay,the w s *boat aTodt thick,-ond covered (un diri1ie roof). in the same manner, hut -1 Axind i: woukl. not preserve my potatoes. Wheni opened a hill I now remove the ontents to thikhamonse during winter, but in spring. say 'early in May.l. remove my aueldepte E-.fig. house or loft. 'for if left " the bill, they aprout or become too moist ud soft to be good. - I seldom keep the Spanish so late, but I rarely fai to -have 'e1am till new potatoi are dug. . 4 hao doubt Mr. Mc1inley'a plan r pliantdg Is good in the up'couutry,'r where the land is stiff and dry, but in our level sandy soil, I. think the bed much metter. He thinks is best to air or dry the potatoes before they are put in the hill. This I consider decidedly injurious, and inconsktent with hs.nett pnts, of putting her under the ground, which he says truly, is the natural way. I believe the sooner the potatoes are put in the hill after hey are dug the better. While upou the asubjeca.qif'by-po th, allw me to enquire. thrntgh your valun Ale gtper, whqtber any experitnents have ver been made to test the practicability Af making sugar-from sweet potatoes as yave no doubt the yam potato is equal if jot superior. to the beat-for jhat. purpose.

Cause of Crime.-!, would seem that the comfsmissin of crimces such as roabbery. foricry,&c. by persons of educatiiaa and who havq u aomae periods of tieir lives been deemed or fair standing, is it,areos in- in our country. It is worthy of cot siderntion, a bether the cnue of this de nooralizatiun, is not to he f1und in the Xh. it of life to which iooo many young men-are trained. A considerable num her .A. Iarouaght up in reliance uput the sappjonis wealth uof their parontswith out any busiuetl habits at anl. or courie when that wealihs found illusory.or when speculafion or extrivagance lano dissipatcd it, lhe who has mede it his sola depend ence, is left tihout atny resort but crimnp, or such indostry and economy as he.is not fitted for by his previous eturse of life. Another and numerous class Is brought up unot in absolute idleness, iut to depend upon soue ne-of the profecions-for a livelihood, anl without habits of manual industry Froa the excessive tsnuober which choose this path, and the occasion al changes iin the timies, it must happen that niuny of these are fretleny left al most as destitute of resources as those of the first mentioned class. The proper remedy would seem to be, that all young men should be educated not unly with mnhaits of industry and econ orMy, but tv;th some practical knowledge and exercise of manual labor. either in agriculture or the arti, in addition to qual ifications fur a profesion, if one has been chosen. With such an edacation, they would be more disposed to economy, and could d resources %% ben poverty should appear, or the coutenplated profcssion should fail to prove a safe reliance. Whatever may he alle;ed of the close ness, and even chicanery of a portion of the New Englanders, we presume that there is hardly a cluss ol people to be found, who are more free than the natives of that region from those oTences which lead to the penitentiary, or to the gallows. Th;s cetip'tion is probably owing in a good degree to the fact, that most or the people of that section of our country are in their youth not only industrious, but practised to a consi-derable extent in man utl indiisry-and this *remark is applica ble as well to those inta nded for profes sions as to otbers.-Pnnpylvanior..
