The Mirror replies as oillows: As the above communication is ad Iressed 'to the editor of the Mirror,' md not marked private, we take it for rranted that the writer desires the full enefit of a public avowial or himeilf is an 'Abolitionist.' Instead of' re racing tile expression quoted from he Mirror, we unhesitatinulv re-as ert the fact that 'we have yet to learn hat an Abolitionist can be a gentle nan.' We will confess, however, that >ur personal acquaintance with men >f that description is very limited, and nay have been unfortunate. We have lot the honor ot knowing Mr. Berry; ut on inquiry at the publication office >f the Mirror, learn that lie is an agent or the sale of' Pianofbrtes manuifietur d in Boston by Alessrs. Hallet, Dia ,is & Co. In order to draw sharply the line of listinction indicated by the renaik at vhich Mr. Berry feels his 'self'respect' rritated, it is necessary to define the neaning of the term 'AbolitioisW term, in our understanding of the vord, of blackest reproach. What, then, is it to be an 'Aboli ionistI' It is, in the first place, to be traitor to the Constitution, which re -ognises slavery. It is to be a viola or of the law enacted for the reclaia ion of fugitives from service. It is 1) be a violator of the law~ enaeted for he reclamation of .fugitives froma ser 'ice. It is to be an instigator to ser 'ile rebellion-a stealer( of negroes disturber of the peace-a promoter >f bloodshed-a destrover of the Un on of the States. Abolitionism leads lirectly to all these calanmities; and here is no escape from the issue. au the advocate of Such a cause be a ;entleman. We think not. Still less an he be a Christian.

This last article is mpdesand needed in such quan tiues, that any substance that will sup ply it, of equally good quality- and at cheaper rates than can be afforded by the present basis of manufacture, must become a staple in this market, and one of profitable pursuit. We append the documents relating to this discovery, which we find in the report of the U. S. Patent Office: PAIHsu OF PLAQUEMINES, Jan. 24, 1831.-John Blanc, the bearer here of, raised on my plantation, at Deer Range, some beautiful specimens of hemp from the okra plant, and raised seed enough to plant forty or filly acres I consider it as valuable as any other staple raised in this State, and should have continued the culture were it not that it interfered with the works I was compelled to pursue in the manage ment of my cane crop. I am not able to say how much it would produce to the acre; but, from what I saw, I think it would yield from thirty-five hundred to live thou sand pounds clean hemp per acre, and require less work than any other crop until the gathering commences, when, with proper apparatus, the la bor would be less than with either coL ton or sugar.

Poin dexter's plantation some beautiful spec imens-of hemp from the okra plant; and from what littlsb 1a# ..tink it. will yield from twothousandsigiree ti fy tt i gIis n LNg in the damp, than any other hemp I have ever seen. [Signed] H. M. CHAMBLISS. JUs-rrNA, March 18, 1852.-John Blanc, the bearer, has raised on Thom as P. Poindexter's plantation twen ty- four hundred and fourteen pounds of hemp from the okra plant, raised in six acres ot land, planted on the 5th of .July, and w'as planted so tall that it did not make more than haf a crop. Mr. Bland is a very honiest man. I sign this with pleasme. P. HI. MILLER. Mr. H. Penoyer, of Union county, Illinois, publishes in the St. Louis Re publican his experience and success in preventing the potato rot. He has tes ted his prevenxtive fo~r four years, with perfect success, wvhile others in the samne field who neglected it lost their cnt ire crop. It is asserted, also that the root is nearly double the size. The remedy is as follows: "Take one peek of fine sault and mix it thouroughly with halfa bushel of Nova Scotia plaster or gypsum, (the plaster is tha best,)an d immediately after hoeing the potatoes the second time, or just as the young potato be gins to set, sprinkle on the main vines, next to the ground, a tab~le spoonful of the above mixtnre to each hill and be sure to get it on the main vines, as it is found that the root proceeds from the string of anl insect in the vine, and the. mixtnre, coming in contact with the vine, kills the effect of it before it reach es the potato." Mr. Penoyer asks no hing for his d:scovery beyond what those whoe are benefited are willing to give, and he desires a test to be made before an opinion is formed. This is reasonable, and~ the experiment cost so little that it is worth testing. SAFETY FRObi FIGHJTEN~ED HORsES. -Newell's new safety whipple-tree is a very good thing, but the mode adop ted in Moscowv and St. Petcrsburgh is better, because by it there is no ne cessity that the horse should clear the carriage and run away, to his own in. jury and perhaps the loss of life to some poor pedestrian he runs over, to secure the safety of his drivers.. It is this: Around the horse's neck, near the neck-strap, is placed a cord with a running knot. To this slip-noose is attached a pair of reins, on gen tlemen's horses generally of silk cord about the size of a pipe-stem, which always lie thlrowvn over the dash-board, ready to be seized at once. When a horse starts, and becomes unruly, the genltleman takes up his cord and tight. ens the horse's throat so that he can, not breathe. The 'most furious horse steps almost instantly, but be will not fall or kick. I have seen many such rains upon high spirited horses ev en in comumon city d1hvpskles. the. n rea ti es leged T thit g~vtfani44 G4 oitiiteho .In f wih' to purchie Lak'e Superttr6 i of.?O,000,000..ih will be of great bei' try to have the Ikvesjln Briti h capital 'h Such Investet bond of interesinow-1 the two nations and - comes stronger, mnstjp derstanding-or r two governments. 2 'The ratification of it would not lead to th any great extent of.Britishe Americans, would moit 6 j to these shores a conaldea i* of capital from England-e vestmlent in real es light the perfection oftsu must be desirable.-Sou-t Death ofGener W$ We regret to perceive fror lington Flag that this gei on Tuesday last.
