Judge Buel, in the Cultivator, of November last, says: ''We obtained two tubers from France last fall, and through the kindness of an esteemed friend, we have been enabled to increase orr seed 12 pounds. We divided the tubers into setts of two eyes each, and we planted one sett in hills four feet apart, in a piece of ground much shaded and rather low condition.? We dug, weighed and measured the cropon the 28th September. It weighed 525 pounds, and measured nine bushels. They are undoubtedly the most productive varity of potatoe we ever met with.

White, respectfully! informs the patrons of the " Southern Literary Messcngcr," and the public generally, that the issue of the next No. of that periodical is necessarily delayed beyond the usual time of publication. The recent holidays, and a damage which has occurred 1 to the press on which the Messenger is struck off, have retarded the business of * )re his office. He would further mention, that ,|]j the publishing of an important essay upon >nl the " Rights of the Slave-holding States, ' and the owners of slave property, under et the Constitution of the United States," ' from the pen of Conway Robinson, Esq., of this city, has also postponed the appearance of the Messenger." He believes, however, that the value and interest of this paper will fully atone for the delay, t. Being anxious to Dresent the whole essav ie at the same time to the public, and aware hat the issue of his periodical would be laic for the month of January, he has concluded to publish the January and February numbers together. His patrons will, ,,c therefore, receive a double number, or the numbers for two months under onceover. The publisher flatters himself, that , both in typographical and literary excelg." lcnce, the two coming numbers will equal, ^ if not exceed, any that he has ever given j to the public.
