changes of our country, and the secuniua the blessings of republican government, to a people allied to us in blood and political sympathy;-and that-we shall hail theday when her now solitary star, shall blend.in harmonious order, with-the constellation that blazes on the American Flag. From the Spectator. May 9. TaE "SECRET INTRIGUE." - We publish in our paper today, from the Globe, a card from the Soith Carolina delegation, drawn out by the manifesto of the Ohio delegation, disclosing the "move meats set on foot". in Congress to super sedo Mr. Van Buren. It would seem that the South Carolina delegation have known nothing of them: and we do not believe, before Mr. Van Buren's leiter against the Treaty wagpublished, any niember-of any other delegation did more than tell the truth to inquirers, verbal or written, as to Mr. Van Buren's availability. On his letter being published, forthwith many we believe a decided majority-of the members of Congress from the South ab jured him for the Presidency. They have taken care, we suppose, and will take care, that their opinions shall be known ; and in and out of Washington have used, and will hereafter use, their best efforts to place before the lgople, at the next Pres idential election, in the person of their can didate, the great question of Texas an. nexation-at once the cause of American independence from British control, and of American peace and Union. The combination between the National Intelligencer and the Globe, with the po litical interests they represent, on this vital . subject, renders it necessary that the ster nest and most uncompromising course should be pursued by her friends, if Texas is to'be saved to the Union. It will be the effort of both of these political interests to put aside or divert the ques tion. Both want the old issues for the next Presidential election. Both fear this; and have preferred to abandon the South forNgthern hatreds and support. Cast off by both, defied and despised by both, as too weak and spiritless to command consideration, let the South rally, and, by one brave blow, strike the corrupt and insulting combination to pieces. Her safety, her honor, commands it. From the Globe of yesterday. A CARD. Eleven members of Congress from the State of Ohio have stated that "we have re.ason to fear that a very serious move meat has, for weeks, been on foot in this city, in the absence of the people, which is intended to act, if possible, upon the convention, and to induce that body to set aside the wil of.the American Democracy, ahus explicitly end solemnly eipressed to discard the man [Mr. Van Buren] in who'se favor that will was so expressed, and to nominate in his stead some other, or any other person." It is not here stated by whom "this movement'" has. been put "on foot," but we presume the charge can point to uo others than members of Congress. With out intending, in the slightest degree, to reflect on the honor or patriotism of those who have participated in such a move net-ifaoy such has existed-the charge, if intended to embrace the South Carolina delegation, is entirely destitute of truth. They. hive neither put on-foot themselves, nor counselled or aided others to put on foot, any sneb movement. DANIEL E. HUGER, GEO. McDUFFIE, SA RMISTErAD BURT, J. A. WOOD ARD, JAMES A. BLACK, R. F. SIMPSON,. Ri..BARNWELL RHETT, J. E. H OL MES, JOHN CAMFIBELL. The following is an extract from the Washington Correspondence of the New York True Sun: *"It has been satisfactorily ascertained that the annexation letters of Clay and Van Buren were written by concert, the same programme serving for each. It is singular that both these letters contain the same three doors of retreat from their~pp p osition to annexation, viz: consent of Mexico-actual foreign interference-and popular feeling. No one here doubts the concert that existed, nor its motives, the chief of which was jealodsy to Mr. Cal houn. It was tho deliberate results of a conspiracy to crush that great statesman and rival, and this belief has created an'en thusiasm for him- in the South, and a unan imity which he never possesscd before, probably to so great an extent. It has converted many foes to friends, and altho' he has withdrawn himself from the present Presidential canvas., and will in no case become a candidate, yet it is consoling for him to know the increase of his admirers.

We have heard no es timates of other loses, or any particulars as' to.the origin of the fire.

Hayti,-This negro island presents a striking commentary on the movements of the Abolitionists, and their wild, visionary and fanatical notions of negro freedom. After passing from a high state of civiliza tion and refinement, and the most abun dant production and prosperity, through the bloodiest scenes of insurrection and massacre, to actual despotism,degradation desolation and poverty, itis now distracted and torn by the most violent and ill-gov. erned Revolutions and counter-Revolu tions; and anarchy reigns supreme. The movement against the mild and temperate, but unavoidably absolute government of Boyer, ended of course in a military des, potisnai and two apparently distinct and wholly unconnected Revolutionary armed bodies are now moving against that, at anything of law, order, or opposition they meet with, and destroying and desolating every thing in their way. A panic per vaded the whole peaceable portion of the inhabitants, and many wvere leaving the island. 1,200 had arrived in Jamaica alone on the 20th ult., where they wvill doubtlesn before long find similar violence and anar chy. A large numtber of vessels of 'val were hovering-about the island, principall) French, under an Admiral, waiting for the indemnity instalmnent due in June; and the country will probably be taken posses, sion of by France ultitnately, for payment which will doubtless be the best possible fate that can occur-Carolinian. Anmer-ican Missions.-Th-e number o ministers now employed in foreign mis sions, by the different etangeliCal soCietie! in the United States,. is, according to a statement in the "Foreign Missionar3 Chronicle," 285.

"0O justice ! basi thou led fromi hnman brasts ?"...Laborer. To the Editor of fle Baptist Advocdle. BALrMoaE, 6th May, 1844. My DEAR BROTHER: When the Baptist Triennial Convention, recently held at Philadelphia, was about to proceed to the election of officers, I re quested that I might not be considered among the number of those from whom a selection of the presidency shoulbe made. I observed that I had been, during the last fall, the subject of protracted indisposition. from which I had not fTully recovered, when a relapse, a littlo.before I left home, had thrown me back. That from the ex periment of presiding in the Convention the first two- days of the meeting, I was satisfied that I had not strength to perform the arduous duties of the office throughout the session. I therefore sincerely decline a re-election to the presidency. I added, that of the thirty-two which formed the little band that thirty years ago organized, under God, this Convention, seven only remained, of which I had the honor to be one. That now the denomi nation, spreading through the length and breadth of the land, had sent up some hun dreds of delegates to this meeting. That during the Existence of this body. the South had furnished the presiding officer for twen ty-one years, and the middle States nine years, and that I should think it desirable for some other section now to furnish the presiding officer. That it is an office of honor, as well as of responsibility, and that the honors should be shared by the diff'er ent sections of our widely extended coun try. I will thank you, my brother, to give this publicity in your paper, for the pur pose of correcting a mistake that has crept into your account of the proceedings of the Convention, in the article which assigns my age as the reason of niy declining a re-election to the Presidency. I also request the favor of all the Edi tors that have admitted the same mistake into their papers, to publish the above for the purpose of correction. Affectionately, yours, WIIAM .B. JohNsoN. From the Temperance Advocate. To THE PEOPL. OF So-u CAROLINA, AND ESPECIALLY THE FRIENDS OF TEMPERANCE. The Executive Committee of the State Temperance Society, tojwhom it was re ferred, by the Convention, in Charleston, to fix the time at which the meeting should be held at Edgefield, have, on consultation with the delegate from the Temperance Society of Edgefield village, fixed on the last Wednesday in July, a .tho day on which the State Society willpasemble in Convention. The importance of such meetings have been so fully tested by past experience, that it cannot be, necessary to urge rea sons in their favor.' It may, however,. be well enough to look to the objects which may be attained by the meeting now.to take place: Unanimity among ourselves is perhaps of more vital consequence than any thing else. Heretofore we have gone -together with one spirit, although widely dijering as to means: and it is to be hoped we still shall do so. In order, bowever,'to attain this end, a free conference, as menibers of one family, without any regard to the clamors of our enemies, ought to be had. Each delegate will come,. as. heretofore, prepared to concede to one another, until we can stand upon a common ground. The best means of further prosecuting the war against our common enemy, In temperance, must be the subjest 'of anx ious deliberation. How mnuch'further can mere persuasion be relied on, without in some way removing temptation from among the people, is worthy of serious consideration. It is neither expected, nor desired, that we should address the Legis lature for any aid. But I should' much like, that every District should, at the Oc tober Polls, vote, whether the License sys tem should be further continued. "Li cense" or "No License," on a slip of pa per, would give a freman'a opinion ; and, according to the majority, the matter might he settled,-and the harmony of the friends of Temperanee be no longer dis turbed by discussions of the subject.o Renewed, zealous,' persevering eff'ort, is, another matter anxiously to be looked to. How can tke friends of Temperande be further stirred up on this great subject? Let every delegate think, and be prepared to give the result of their deliberations and what is of more consequence, 1st him' be prepared to act. We need' actian constant, unvarying actiont. The enemy is before us, we must not only skirmish every day ; but the great battles of the campaign must be fought with unflinching energy. This year' our bieanial elections ocdtr, and it is to us always a time oligreat dan ger. Lib ations of whiskey areoffered to. drunkenness on more 'than a thousand. altars: and:'not only our enemies are drawn farther from us, but our friends- are too often tempted to their ruin~ Th'e bet tie of strong drink, in the hands ofda dem-. agogue, is more dangerous to a' feetman,' then thepistol in the hands of a highway man. The latter may 'be the-means of robbery and- murder. The form~er des poils a free man- of his free -suffrage, strips him of his reason, degradles himt to' the level of a brute, makes him a vagabond and an outcast, and tumbles bim into a drunkard's grave, from. whichi he is to' arise to a fearful coudemnation. With' such awful consequences arising~ out of treating at elections, does i, not behove you, men and brethren, to ask what can be donei and when your convictions tel you what ought to' be done, fearlesatg to execute it ! To make' Temperance wore inferesting to Ithe people, is another snbject, which will demand your copsideration. Nov ehty is that which attracts hundreds to hear .the truth. Can no plan be 'fixed which will unite this eliarmt to thle Tern perabce Reform ? Much might be said, but my object will be attained, if 1- succed- in making the friends of Temperance sse the imprtaiibe of our Edgefield meeting.- .' To our friends in' Greorgia,' we would say, we have approached your border, in the hope that yatt would' give us'thesaid of your counsels. Your efforts !ithis"'godfi cause, have not escapad dur tiotice'":- an' we desire to takey bythe liand' ouf fellow laborers in ou~nrsseta. mP msch d&l egates from Georgia Societies, as will fa vor us with their presence, equal privile ges in counsel and decision, will be gladly conceded. Our North Carolina brethren have in part responded to 'our calls on former oc casions. We hope, that those who have heretofore been with us,-will again place themselves under our Temperance gag; and that many more, will, from the steady old North State, come to our aid on this great occasion.. The Village of-Edgefield is perfectly healthy, and caalbe visited with safety by our mountain as well as our seaboard friends. I am instructed to say that ac commodations will be, ample. Private houses will he flung open, forthe receptisir and accommodation of delegates. Each Society of or under 100 members, will be entitled to two delegates-and when exceeding 100 members, an addi tional delegate for every additional hud dred, will-be allowedl. Each District So ciety will be entitled to two members. The Convention-will assemble for or ganization at. the Baptist Church. in the village of Edgefield, on Wednesday, the 31st day of July, at 10 o'clock, A. M. Presidents of Temperance Societies will, as early as possible, cause meetings of their respective members to be held, read this Circular to them, and have delegates, who will be sure to atuend, appointed. JoHn BBLTON O'NEALL, Pres'dt. of the State Temp'e. Society. The Crops.-The news from Mississip pi and the upper pert of this State, says the N. O. Plca?#ine represent the Eaton crop is still suf'ering for want of rain. The following is an extract of a letter from a distinguished planter near Natchez to a commercial house in this city. It is dated NATces, May 4, 1844. Unquestionably, and beyond the shadow of doubt, the prospect for the crop now. planted has not been so unpromising for twenty-five years, ;We have had the longest and severest drought ever known at this season, causing a complete check to vegetation. There is nothing in the fields for insects to feed apon, and conse quently the cotton is cut down by worms, caterpillars and grasshoppers as soon as it makes its appearance through the surface. Thousands and thousandeof acres are now being ploughed up and planted over, and the demand for cotton seed is great-so great that $1 per bushel has been paid for large quantities. We plant about two bushels to the acme. Crops in Ouachita.-The editor of the Courier, published at Monroe, in this State, has recently learned from numer ous planters is that region, that an unusual multitude of worms of various kinds are daily desirdying the fair -prospects of the farmer. Corn and Cotton, the strong hope of the ediontry, are disappearing with an almost magical celerity. The cut worm destroys the young cotton, while the bad worm and other species of caterpillar, closely resembling the army wormd, both in habits antd appearance, scarce leaves a vestige of vegetation in what were but lately luxuriant fields of corn. The very grass and weeds are equally the objects o1 destruction. It was greatly. feared that should the' prepnt clotdy weather eon tinue much lon er, uo fair stand of cotton will -rentaii'. -ing so scarce that sufficient is not rd be bad in the country for re-planting. Red River.'-Our latest beccout ts from Red River represent that an overflow is expected. The Alexandria Republican of the 4th instant,. after recommending the planters in that vicinity to bestow timely attention upon their levees, nextt publishes the following extract of a letter fromn some point above "1 think you ha'id good feUrsot lo' fca' an overflow. The water at Arkansas rivrer was at a stand on the 25th, and or the 27th was- rising. At Shreveport it was rising slowly and above (brand Ecort about one foot in 12 hours. The rise above has been gradual for about 25 doa,' and all the outlets are filled with water. A Long Prairie it is higher by r wo feet thati it has beon at any fresket for years. I think you had better prepare for very high w ater." ... The Caddo Gazette of the 1st says i The river is still rising, and it is now higher than it nas ever known befors. 11 is carrying destructioh with it, and -thi Lord only knows when' the waters will subside. .The plantation of Cal. Crane, opposite thisi place, presents an almost on broken sheet or water. It is believed thal if the river shoulJ fall by the 15th or 20th of this month. there will be some chance for a crop. We hope for the lbest. Ice.-It is stated-eOl good dutliorit'y thal 55,000 tons of ice were shipped from Boa ton during; the last year for th'e warme: climates-Hindostan, China and the East lndies. Cost to the shippers, $12,430, Avrage receipts for sale,$3,575,000. Dif ference $3.592,750, from which the freight is to be' deducted leaving a princely surn to go to the profit account. Newo GnTZ Mu.-We extract the fofile ing from a communication in the Marl bro Gazete, ove'r tlie signature of "A Tobacec Planter," which may prove interesting to a portion ofour readefr. Some days since I ivas shown by Mr. Maynard, of the. firm of' "Sinclair & Co.' Baldmore, one of the simplest. most econ ondcal and beautiful implements I have eer had the pleasure to look upon. It is a Grist Mill. It os a "nonpareil" in these days of improvement. I consider it one of the most valuable palents ever issued from the store house of inventive genius -the Patent Office. It surely was the work of great labor and thought, being a tdum in parve;t uniting simpl~icity, 'strength, durability and cheapness ip sta construction. It dan be worked by hand or. horselpower, with ted-ment it will grini at least three burbels per hour and with founh horses it will grind' more than aiiy wert poww' mill, with one pair of iburs it the caetry.>iTh6 work is done inasile~n' did -.antiel2 - The: gnain. can be-eithet simply. chopped, or ~grouud intaismall hominf, or coarse nieali of mande into meal as fibe- as f'out feed he.'

So easily can .it -be inoved,-that two men can take it about wit as-'much easo'as.they. can move, a corn sheller or wheat fad:. The burs are of cast iron, and will grind from three to five handred bushels before they become too smooth for use, when any farm hand can take them out and replace them with others, which cost $3, 50 per pair. There is no other part of the Machine that will not last an age. The cost is only $35, which brings it in reach of every man. It is dirt cheap. A planter-'vho lives even five miles from a mill, will lose thirteen days in the year with one man and cart and oxen going to mill-which would be worth at least $2 per day, which is $36 in a year, and if he had four hundred bushels of grain ground during the year, the toll of that would be $25, thus a saving of $51 per year would be the consequence. The machine would more tharrpay for itself the first year. There are a thousand other reasons why planters should have it: among ;them. is the one that then they could "go to mill" any time they pleased rainy weather, or other inconvenient Sea sons. FOr Cleansing the Teeth.-.Take a stiff tooth brush, without any kind of wash or powder whatever, add rub till you bring about a thick, frothy saliva, which is the best solvent for the teeth that can possibly be made. By the Constant use of this two or three times a day, the teeth will assume a beautiful pearly whiteness, and at the same time all disagreeable odor will be removed from the breath and a pleasant taste left in the mouth. The above is from the lectures of Pro fessor Dudley, of Lexington, Ky., the util ity of which, all who have tried it can at test. paddy's Expedient for Redwuing a Hole.-An Irish weaver just imported from the sister isle, took to his employer in Kilmarnock, :he other day, the first cloth he had woven since his arrival. His employer detected in the cloth two holes, within half an inch of each other, and told him he must pay a fine of a shilling for a hole. "And plaze ye," returned Pat, "is it by the number of holes or by the size of them, that you put the flue on us?" "By the number of holes to be sure. "And a big hole and a small one isthe.same price? "Yes,a shilling for each hole, big or little. "Then give me hold of the piece, replied Paddy, and getting the cloth into his hand -he tore the two small holes into one, and exclaimed, "By the hill'of'Howth, and that saves me a shilling anyhow. A gentleman-in Shelby county, Ky., fell desperately in love the other day, with a girl at first sight, and attempted to' kiss her, whereupon she knocked him down. He was smitten first with her and then by her. The Arab's melt their butter over a slow fire, which expels all the watery particles it will then keep without salt; and the Irish have adopted, with success, a similar mode for exportation to the East Indies. .
