The following remarks wero furnished us by a gentleman of thin city last week ; but, for want of room, we litive been obliged to laj them over until to day. We are of opinion that these remarks w ill have a ten dency to assist in some degree the laudable views of the corporation of Savannah res pecting the culture of sugar cane in tho vi cinity of tliiH place. The experiment ?tuted below may be relied upon aa correct : " The address from tin* Mayor antl Cor poration* in the Republican of the 23d J ami ury last, to the landholders in the vicinity of Bavannali for the encouragement of the culture of sugar cane, must be gratifying to every well wislier of our city. ** The following observations may assist in some small degree the Mine object. That an acre of sugarcane may bo calculated to produce from SO to 50,000 sugar canes ; that spoo canes of the common size of those growiAtn low land produced GOO gallons of raw juice* which boiled to sugar weighed 724lbs, from which dcduct (or drawing and weight of a barrel cnc hundred and twenty - four Ibs.wiil leave GOOlbs. nott,or a pound of sugar to the gallon of juico? the return of 5000 canes or 2400lbs. of nett sugar per acre. This being an actual ami fair exper iment* the matter of interest in this culture can be no longer doubted. It has also been proved that fine sugar can be inade though the juice tins been frozen, and tho thermom eter at 10 degrees below the freezing point. So that cane properly put up may bo made into sugar from tho middle of October to the middle of Mareh. That one acre of sugar cane will plant twenty, acres of land which would be s?fflc|entf?rtb6 first season to teach the ncgroc# how to make sugar# and get their hands in for tho ensuing crop which can then be extended at pleasure $ that 405)0 cone tops will ulant an aero of land* which may lio bought for 20 dollars ) nil therefore that would be necessary is to draw a piece of rice land intended for sugar cane very deep ; in tho goto of the trunk which drains the land* have a small sliding gate* say one foot square (or such a size as would not overflow tho luud) which should he kept open* that tins water may flow in und out with the tide* and keep tl?o water in the ditch from getting hot so as to srald the root of the plant, and prevent stagnation. ?? A square of laud so prepared, by next November* I should recommend the Cor IHiration to plant in cano for tho proprietor if he is not suAlclently stimulated by interest n ud the iienlth of his family. A good pic* tore might bo drawn in support of this ar gument, to show what Havauiiah is ami what it might soon become."? Republican. MI8CBIXANV. ?MW TUB OttANIII. COGITATIONS OF MY UNCLE JOHN. I am a young man, Mr. Caperton* and have mingled very little in tho political con tests that so unfortunately detract our t ountry ; and I am not unfreoucutly amu sed by?thc disputes that arise between zea lous politician*. A few months ago, busi ness called me to (lido, and as I was Jour neying westward, it was n?> fo ^over take u good looking man of about thirty* live, on his way to Pittsburgh. Liking Ms uppearanco wo concluded to travel together* Our conversation on the road, was, the ex penro of travelling and other unimportant subjects } when on stopping at an inn for some refreshment# wo found a genteel look ing stranger* who, wo leamea was going 1 our road and agreed to bear as company.? The time passed for somo hours very agree* ably. Doth my companions proved intelli gent* and from their unsolicited bounty and kind expressions to a poor wooden leg ged soldier* who sat by tho road side* left no doubt in my mind but they wcro very kind hearted and benovolent : ? " That's u brave fellow* I'll warrant you*" said Mr. Freewell. "Ayoj (said Mr. Hartley) out liite giurious war* eviuced tho courage ol many a brave follow." ?< 80 you tliink Mr Madison's war* a glorious ono* then I sec sir*" added Mr. Freewell. ? From youi question* I perceive* sir* ^replied Hartley) you belong to the party that would pre let seeing their country imposed upon* thnu exerting spirit enough to resist her oppres sors." " Your perceptions* sir* (rejoined Freowell*) 1 suspect arc not remarkably clear. 1 glory In belonging to a party* that would not involve their country unnecessa rily in waiw without preparation ? to pro pitiato a tyrant who had insulted them ? sacrificing tho best interests of tliolr coun try to keep themselves in power ? and Anally who would inako a peace abandoning every object for which tho war was ostensibly de clared. " Sir, (said ilartiey) a party that would* when their country was engaged in war* refuse to advunco funds for its sup port ? who would vote against the necessary supplies ? and endeavor to embarrass the government by inflammatory* factious pub lications* hus a claim* iu my opinion* to any character but thut of patriotism ? Fray, sir* what is your opinion of the Hartford Con vention i" ?? 1 will answer you, sir, if you will in the first place tell me what you think of the Bludcnshurg races ?" ' | Finding the disputants getting very warm I interposed* ami after somo time, persuad ed them to maintain their sentiments with out permitting their passions to get the bet ter of their judgments. As wu rode on each ono maintained with some earnestness that lie could tell a democrat or a federalist by his conduct and munncrs, without his saying a word on politics. A bottle of wine having been bet on the occasiun, wo jogged on till night very harmoniously. The public houso at wliich we lodged was large, commodious ami neat, situate in a limcstono valley, sur rounded by beautiful meadows and having the appearance of wealth and comfort. ? The landlord was extremely attentive? sociable but not obtrusive. In tho evonin? his daughter* a fine girl of 1 8, played us a number of tunes on tho piano forte and the landlady treated us with a mince pic, some apples and excellent cider. We were ill d flighted with tho order, cleanliness, and kindness of our host and hostess* and when before retiring to bed* the good publican called his family around him and In affected manner offered up his petition to the Throne of Grace* Freewell whispered in my car . ?? A Federalist I'll warrant you ?I'll win of Hartley this time." Morning came? our bill was reasonable and we were about taking leave with feelings of more than common afTcctlon for so short an.ac* miaintuncc ? when Freewell asked* ? May 1 take the liberty to enquire* Col* Maclean* whether in politics you areafoderajhrt or democrat?" You might as well as ask*" replied he* ** whether! was for my country or against it." " Hut pray be good enough to say* Col* whether you. lire a supporter of Mr* Madison and Mr* Snyder." ** I desire (0 thank Heaven*" said he solemn ly, ?? that wis have had raised up for these trying times, men of sO fnucn wisdom and patriotism*" Hartley shook Idm cordially by tho hand, while Freewell, with a look or disappointment, bid1 him good morning* iuid rode on. The next night found us fair advanced on our journey. Our accommodations were neat, but not elegant* There waa an an. pearance of cheerfulness, but not of wealth in tiio family. The landlord was sprightly* intelligent and agreeable. Wo bad not been long seated* when a traveller came in and mentioned that a strange woman seemed very jil? lying beside tlie road about a mile back ? *< It is a pity she should suffer*" said the landlord* and immediately ordering his light wagon* and placing a bed and jmlow 111 it* went to bring her to his bouse. " Are you not aft-ald of that dreadftit disorder ?" enquired tlie traveller of the land-lady. ? " We hope to do our duty*" said sho mildly* ? and leave Uie consequence to heaven." Hhe was truly 111 i she belonged In the bor ders of Mify land* and had been to visit her daughter.? lleing poor* sho travelled on foot-~>was now out of money* sick* and on the road side* where she expected to die. Mr* Oakley with tlie kindest accents bid her welcome* promised to take care her, ami send frfr a physician. Hartley* I saw was pleased* and In tlio courso of the evening remarked that we had got to another demo cratlc house. In the morning It wus Ills turn to ask the question. " Well* Mr. Oak ly," said he* " will you linve the goodness to gratify our curiosity so much* as to tell us whether you aro a democrat or a feder alist 2" " I'll tell you* sir*" said Mr. O. ?? 1 love my country too well to see her trea sures squandered in useless wars ? her sons butchered by plecc-ineal In hopoless expe ditions to Canada ? or her farmers ami me chanic* burdened with an enormous load o( taxes. If* added he* James Ross* and I I know him well* or Hufu* King* whom 1 ; know by character, or any other (mo son ol j Washington, hud boon at tho hclin,wo should | not now liavo to mourn for 30,000 of out brother# who hare died in the war, nor have : had to groan under 150 millions addition to our deb'w" Hartley put spurs to Ida horse ?I followed, At in about hair an hour Frce well overtook us, Xil? countenanco cxpress ling tho triumph lie felt over his opponent. 1 Tho conclusion drawn by Hartloy and Frcowell, was, in my opinion, not far IVom the truo one : ? That there we id wise, and | sincere, and good men in both parties j see ing tilings in different aspects ? but hnving equally at heart tho best interests of our [country; and. tliat it was only necessary for I tho good people of both parties to bo hotter acquainted with each otltcr*s character and views, to do away a great portion of tho party spirit that distracts tho laiul. Jt Newspaper. ? What a singular and ex act epitome of man, does a newspaper Air nish. Its columns are crowded with articles as various as tho tastes and interests of men ?in all of which sotnc individual will find pleasure or entertainment. ? Arc you a mer chant ? tho ship news and price-current sOiao your attention. A shop-keeper ? the auction sales engross vour attention. A politician ? tho congressional register is bet-, tcr suited to your palate than a cup of coflbe. A religious man ? details of missionary and bihlo societies, revivals in the churches, or extracts (him evangelical sermons, are es. teemed valuable above all other articles.? We were led to these reflections by examin ing the arrangement of matter in a respect ublo llaltimoro palter, in which we noticed a very affecting obituary paragraph, occa sioned by the death of Nathaniel Comegys Ks<|. a rcspcctablo citizen of Maryland, and immediately beneath it " subscription uall," in great capital letters. Thus in tho changing scenes of tills world, some are dying, some burying tho dead, some composing elegies on departed (Wends, and some preparing for a rau of all which the newspaper must take particular notice, or incur tiio censure of somo one of its readers.

One morning (said an old shep herd at Freshwater) as I was looking for a stray ewe, I came up with some bird-catch ers* They presently prepared tlieir tackle, and went down tho cliffy, and left behind the wife of one of them, to shift the ropes and do such other offices as tho nature of their business "demanded* That she might the better attend toher charge, tho woman had placed benatli Iter cloak* at a small distance a sleeping boy* about twelve months old, and thinking all was safe, applied herself to the stake* when looking round, to her great astonfotiment* the child had crept from be neath Its covering and had wantonly reach ed the verge of the cliff, at least eight hun dred feet from tho sea, und wanted but u few inches more to sink into eternity 1 A larmcd at hts tremendous situation, the mo ther stood like a Axed oak, but spoko not.
