The editor of tho Radical organ of| Montgomery Ala., having interlarded his eulogy on Bu'rlingame, with an assanlton the memory of Preston S. Brooks, Gen? eral Clan ton retorts as follows: To the Editor of the Mail : The State Journal of yesterday repub lighes from tho New York Tribune a bio? graphical sketch of the late Anson Bur lingame, in which disparaging reference ifi made to the caning of Stunner by Brooks in the Senate Chamber at Wash? ington?applying to tho latter the epi? thets ''bully,' "poltroon," etc. Where that gallant spirit is personally . known, living or dead, ho needs no de? fense. I was one of those who disap? proved of the place and weapon which he selected to administer a merited castiga tion to the physical giant from Massachu? setts-R>r bis fuau-tting abuse of the ladies of the South. The street and a cowhide would have-been more appropriate. It was my good fortune to be born within a few miles of the birth-place of Preston Brooks, and to have been well acquainted with his personal history. His grandfather was a revolutionary soldier; ? his father a model citizen and gentleman. " When a young man he accepted a chal? lenge from ELon. Louis Wigfall. He did not, like Bttrlingame, select the Clifton House, Canada, as the place of meeting; but a little island in the Savannah river, only ten or twelve miles distant from his place of residence. In that combat both parlies were wounded. When the State of South Carolina was called on for vol? unteers for the Mexican war, Preston Brooks was one of the first to respond, and commanded a company in the gallant Palmetto Regiment, under his maternal uncle, Colonel Butler, who fell at Cheru busco leading a charge upon the enemy's breastworks. An incident which occurred just outside the vails of the city of Mexico in May, 1847, ytill illustrate the impetuous charac? ter of our hero. Being officer of the guard he found it iieeesea'ry id punish a couple of delinquent sentinels fa^Uojiging to a Northern n-giment, which ?vjuTTr? caraped in a convent between the "'guard quarters" and the Palmetto regiment. Capt B. being reli--^""^*? ~**~~T released EJt&Sto****** as ?e passed -rasgSjMa? Lhfii h.-id.iirvc??ded hi in, and with a large nuinnet: or others, had taken position on top of the building and be? hind the parapet wall, and as he passed, attempted to pelt htm with "rotten eggs.'' He halted when the (ireaegg was thrown, deliberately drew his pistol, popped a cap at the head of the first man who threw, and drawing a second all heads had dis? appeared. If the vandals who burnt Columbia did not steal or destroy the "Cast monument." erected by tbo Legislature of South Caro? lina to liie survivors of thai regiment, the name of Preston Brooks may be found inscribed in letters of iron on that roll of fit me. The assertion that Burlingamo ever in? tended fighting Brooks, is ridiculous. If he had, he would have crossed the Poto? mac to a spot near at hand, where brave men from every section, without molesta? tion from the civil authorities, had fought and fell. He preferred being followed a thousand miles through the Northern Slates, where Radical mobs, he knew fufl well, would take good care of. his gallant adversary. It was regarded at that time, by all fair-minded men from everywhere, as a cowardly subterfuge, on Burlingame's part. The editor of the State Journal. who re-publishes this slanderous articlo, knew that there was not one word of truth in it, ao far as Preston Brooks was concerned. Uniil very recently bought up, be boasted that although born in New York, he had not one drop of Yankee blood in his veins; that he was a Calhoun Democrat, and served four years in the Confederate army. It may be treason, Mr. Editor, to make war upon the United States Government, but it is not treason to defend tho reputation of our fallen com? rades through tho press, and if made nec? essary, on tho street, and on the field. When I fail to do it, may my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, and my right hand forget her cunning. In haste, your friend, _J. H. Clanton. ? A life-insurtnee agent in Toledo had occasion to insnrc a man residing in Cleve? land. The printed directions to bo an? swered by the examining physician were duly forwarded, and Mr. A., who was de? siring to have his life insured for tho ben? efit of his wife, called upon a German physician to make the customary exami? nation. Everything went well until it came to "temperament," and here the doctor stuck. He said nothing, however, but in filling up the blank, instead of giv? ing the temperament of the man, he wrote at the bottom of the sheet as follows: "Mrs. A., very bad temper; Mr. A. much worse." ? The Bridgeport (Ct.) Fa mersaysof Wertdoll Phillips: "He is an inordinately vain, conceited arrogant, supercilious, big. otcd, dogmatical, dictatorial, traitorous old reprobate, but never had Hiiffieient courage to stand forth and expose him? self to any of the penalties of treason by a single ovort act in exemplification of his teachings." ? A negro was caught in a man's gar? den the other night, in clone proximity to a lot of fine cabbage. When interroga? ted as to what ho was doing, he replied : "Good Lord I dis nigger can't go no whar to pray, without bein' troubled by som pin,''? Corn and Cotton vs. Cotton. Editors Southern Cxdtivator:?Fpj;6ome limo past 1 have been thinking that I would writu an article setting forth the profits accruing to the cotton planter who raises his own coro. You may demonstrate to any class of men that if they pursue a certain course of conduct, the good of the country will be subserved thereby, still they will not pursue it, unless it conduces to their indi? vidual interest. Ton might address the cotton plantors of these Southern States month after montb, for the next fifty years, on the patriotism of planting more corn and leas cotton, and not induce them for that reason, to raise an additional amount, sufficient to pay for tho ink and paper consumed in the publication of your addresses. Thoir answer will over ho i "I cannot afford to sacrifice my indi uidual interost for the little good it will do the country." If by concert of action you could secure a pledge from all, to plant one halt their land in corn and the balance in cotton, doubtless much good would be accomplished. But I appre? hend that it is next to impossible to bring about this concert of action. In the win? ter of 1866-7, so many persons suffered throughout this section of country, (and doubtless other portions also,) that there was a general ventilation of this subject, and apparently a univorsal determination .to-plant enough land in the future, to in? sure a supply of corn. What was tho re? sult? I will give you an illustrative anec? dote, in reply. Italy, as you know, is a wine growing country, and it ib customary for every one there to drink wine. The people in a certain neighborhood agreed among them? selves, that they would furnish the parish priest with his wine. For convenience, an empty barrel was placed at the door of the Cathedral, and every man was to bring his contribution with him the next Sabbath morning, and empty it in the barrel. One man, Mr. Sneak Thrift}', reasoned with himself after this wise: " I have no more wine than I want to consume or sell, and as all the others will carry wine, a little water will not be de? tected?so I'll fill my two bottles with water." He did so, curried thern to the Cathedral, and inset ting tho necks of the bottlos into the bung of the barrel, as did the others, emtied them, and went into the house. Wow Sneak Thrifty felt as if he had played a vory cute trick. After servicc^the priest went to sample his wine, and to his astonishment, and that also ot his congregation, discovered that the bir rel contained nothing but water. All had reasoned as Sneak Thriity. The re? sult was, the priest, as their confessor, condemned them to pay four barrels, by way of penance, for duplicity. Now for the application. In tho spring of 1867, all concurred in the opinion that it was tho best polic}' to plant more land in corn and less in cot? ton, and nearly every one thought that corn would be plentiful in tho fall. But before the tune tor planting arrived, most id docided that every one would pliint '?n?''VJ^f^itn, and would of necessity crop. Corn, in ^qut^a^J?Z cheup, and cotton high. Tnev -Fnx.nca" thoir crops accordingly. Thus it will ev? er be, Mr. Editor, unless you oonvince men that it is to their individual interest to raise provisions, whether others do so or not. No one will deny that the produce of one or one hundred acres of land cultiva? ted in cotton, will sell for more than tho same number in corn. We will give the figures j but before doing so, let us settle a few preliminary points: One (1) bale of cotton to three (3) acres ot land, is a good crop for tho plan? tation in this country?in fact it is above the average. Weighed as picked in the fields, it will require 180U lbs. of seed cot? ton to make one bale of lint. Any three (3) acres of land that will yield one (1) bale of cotton, will yield thirty-six (36) bushels of corn?twelvo (12) bushels to tho acre. Valueing corn at 81.50 per bushel, (a low average price.) and cotton at 20 cents per pound net, the figures will tand thus : 3 acres of land, a bale, 500 lbs., 20 eis. $100 00 acres of land in corn, 36 bush? els, SI.50...354 00 acres of land, 350 lbs. fodder, $1.25. 4 37?58 37 HI $41 63 Showing a difference of 041.37 in favor of the 3 acres cultivated in cotton. Suppose wo take these figures and ap? ply them to practice. Every observing tarmer knows, that for each additional acre of land planted in cotton, two must be deducted from tho number in corn. In other words, if a farmer is able to cul? tivate 20 acres to the hand?10 in corn and 10 in cotton?he will not bo able to cultivate more than 15 acres in cotton alone?13J would be nearer correct. 20 hands, 15 acres each in cot? ton, 300 acres, 1 bale cotton to 3 acres, 100 bales, 20c.. $10,000 00 20 hands, 10 acres in cotton, 200 acres, 1 balo to 3 acres, 66s bales, 20c... $6,666 66 10 acres in corn, 200 acres, 12 bush, per acre, 2400 bushels, $1.50.3,600.00 1000 lbs fodder to 100 bushels corn, 24,000 lbs., $1.25. 300.00-3,900.00 $10,566 66 When reduced to practice, you perceive that the planter makes a clear gain of $566.66, by producing his own corn. He has pasture for his miiles and horses ? ho can raise cow-poas on his corn hmd with? out any additional expense. The vines are valuable for stock, and good for ma? nure for his land; his 663 bales, picked out in good time, and in better condition will command a better average price than j the 100 bales will. If he finishes hisgath ! ering beforo Christmas, ho can turn his I hands loose and save expense; or what is much better, ho can make manure by hauling leaves and trash of every descrip? tion, into his horse lots, cow-pens and hog lots, and do a hundred other profitable things. Land is abundant and labor scarce. As I wish to make as much mon? ey as possible to the hand, I plant the [ same number of acres in corn that I do in j cotton. Respectfully, J. R. R. Alabama.

Tho amendment was adopted by a vote of 114 to 72. The bill was then passed?ayes 125; nays 55. After unimportant business, adjourned. In tho Scnato, a memorial was present? ed from the New York Chamber of Com merco giving it as their opinion that it would be extremely unwise for the Gov? ernment to embark in telegraphing.?

He stated that the Judiciary Committoe was op? posed to any requirements, but in the face of two decisions of the Senate, they would make no counter-report. This bill imposes tho same conditions as the Vir? ginia and Mississippi bills, tho only adcii ? tion being the first condition. Tho fund? ing bill was resumed, when tho Senate adjourned. In the House, thirteen Pennsyl.vanians petition for a reduction of tho tariff on teas, sugar and coffeo.

There will be a minority report. Washington, March 10. Tho Republican Senators caucussed an hour over the Georgia bill. Bingham's amendment was the topic. No vote was reached. The caucus scorned about equal? ly divided, and unless further action is taken in caucus, the bill, as it came from the House, supported by tho Democratic Senators, will certainly pass. Mor? ton, Drake, Thaycr and Carnoron spoko against; and Trumbulll, Edmunds, Terry and others, spoke in favor of Bingham's amend men t. Swann yielded to Julian to introduce a bill which would open 8,000,000 acres of land, and against which ho. supposed there, would bo no objection. It turned out to be a bill revoking all land grants to tho New Orleans and Opolousas Rail? road. The proposition received a storm of objections. In the Senate, Sumnor objected to tho presont consideration of an amondment to the rules for the consideration of trea? ties acquiring territory, in opon session. In the Senate, citizens ot Mississippi petition for the abolition of the franking privilege.

Tho bill reducing army officers was resumed, and, after va? rious amendments, passed. The caucus was so equally divided that both parties were afraid to call a vote on Bingham's amendment to the Georgia bill. A motion to adjourn to to-morrow was defeated, as was also the motion to adjourn to this evening; but the motion to adjourn sine die, was carried. A close poll of the Senate shows ten majority for Bingham's amendmont, and unless another caucus is held, the adoption of the bill as it came from the House is regarded certain.

The Houso meets to-morrow for debate. A Thrilling Incident. The New York Commercial Advertiser says : "One of our oldest Merchants, who formerly carried on business in Beaver street, residing, as it was the custom in old times, over his store, tolls the follow? ing thrilling narrative, which he occasion? ally relates with wonderful effect: "A party had been collected at his house to give eclat to one of those little family life, and cheer the human heart in every clime. It was his daughter's wedding day; crowds of her young acquaintances circled around her, and as the father gaz? ed proudly on the face of the 3'oung bride, ho wished as bright a prospect might open for his other children who were gambolling merrily among a crowd. Passing through the passage connecting the lower rooms he met the,6ervant maid, an ignorant country wench, who was car? rying a lighted tallow candle in her hand without a candlestick. Ho blamed her for this dirty conduct, and went into the kitchon to make some arrangements with his wife about the supper table; the girl shortly returned with hor arms f?ll of ale bottles, but without the candle. The merchant immediately recollectod that several barrels of gunpowder had been placed in his cellar during tho day, and that his foreman had opened one of the barrels to select a sample for a customer. 'Where is your candle V he inquired in the utmost agitation. 'I couldn't bring it up with me, for my hands were full,' said the girl. 'Whore did you leave it?' '-Well, I'd no candlestick, so 1 stuck it into some black sand that's there in one of the tubs.' The merchant dashed down the cellar steps; the passage was long and dark, and, as ho groj?ed his waj' on, his knees threat? ened to give way under him; his breath was choked, and his flesh seemed sudden denl}' to become dry and parched, as if ho already felt tho suffocating blast ol death. At the extremity of tho passage, in the front cellar, under the vciy room where his children and friends were re? velling in felicity, ho discerned the open powder barrel, full almost to tho top, the eandle stuck lightly in the loose grains, with a long red snuff of burnt-out wick toppjng the small and gloomy flame. This sight seemed to wither all his pow ers, and the mciry laugh of tho youngsters above struck upon his heart like tho knell of death. Ho stood for some moments gazing upon the light unablo to advance. Tho fiddler commenced a lively jig, and the feet of dancors responded with in? creased vivacity; tho floor shook with their exertions, and tho looso bottles in tho cellar jingled with tho motion. He fancied the candle was moved?was fal? ling ! With desperate energy he dashed forward; but how was he to remove it? The slightest touch would cause tho small live coal of wick to fall into tho loose powder. With .. unequalled presence of mind he placed a hand each sido of tho candle, with the opon palms upward, and the distended fingers pointed toward the object of his caro, which, as his hands I gradually met, was secured in tho clasp? ing or locking of his fingers, and safely ! removed from the bond of the barrel. When he reached the head of tho stairs the excitement was over; he smiled at the danger he had conquered ; but the reac? tion was too powerful, and ho fell into fits of most violent and dreadful laughter. Ho was conveyed senseless to bed. and many weeks elapsed ero his nerves re? covered sufficient tone to allow him to re? sume his habits of overy day lifo." ?
