We have heard it stated that ground has been p anted in Alachua and Columbia counties the past season, sufficient to yield 100,000 bushels ofcorn; but the 4'sowers will not be the reapers," and they who planted will not be permitted to harvest. This will all be abandoned to the enemy, together with much cattle and horses. About 10,000 head of cattle are now on the brig prairie to Alachua, and lately about ,100 head of horses condemned by the United States and sold have ben turned loose there to recruit. It is hard thus to be compelled to abandon our hemes; our ali, our living. On Tuesday last Capt. Drane's company of mounted artillery, went out on a scouting expedition in the neighborhood of this city.? They proceeded as far as Hewlett's Mill about 13 miles south of us, and returning making a circuit to the west about 50 miles. No signs were discovered of any Indians. Three negroes belonging to Z. Kingsiey, Esq. arrived at Picolata yesterday from Draytnn rionr T.nkn fipnrrrp. who renort that they saw Indian fires all around them, and that they left from fear of capture. It is feared that the remainder, 17 in number, have been captured bv the Indians, as they have not been since heard of. Mr. Kingsley re-established his plantation soon after the capitulation of the Indians. CHERAW"GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, JI'LW 12, 1837. The anniversary of Independence was celebrated in our town with the usual demonstrations of patriotic joy. The declaration oflnpendencc was read by E. A. Powe, Esq., and an able and very appropriate oration was delivered by .Major Thomas C. Evans. There was no public dinner; which we were far from regretting ourselves. Such dinners are often mere carousals, rather than a rational exhibition of intelligent love of country. A people whose patriotism .eeds to be forced into activity and life by the stimulants of alco holic liquors and rich dinners may make good subjects, but not good citizens. The Presidency?Mr. Webster.?A meeting of Whigs in New York has nominated o o *r- ilia Prociilrtnnr Ttllf fllPV .ur. CU91CI IVl * i j at the same time adopted the following resolution: Resolved, That while we thus express our preference in the existing state of things for Mr. Webster, we mean not to separate ourselves from our political friends here or else, where, but hereby announce our determination to abide the result of a National Convention on that question, or to adopt any other course which a majority of the Whigs in Congress may recommend their political friends to pursue, in order to produce a fair expression of the sentiments of the Whig party on this subject. There is no man in the union whose cxaited talents and pre-eminent qualitications for the Presidency command for him more respect than do those of Mr. Webster. But he has v 1 r 3 fdrl Kim. aireauy iriiiiKiv miu iiuiiu^uv iwnuum^u self against tiie peculiar principles of the Southern States. In his New York speech ho declared himself opposed to the admission { of Texas into the Union, because the tend- i cncy of the measure would bo to fasten slatery upon the nation. Mr. Webster has a right to his private opinions; and no one lias a right to interfere with him in the enjoyment of them, or to quarrel with him 011 account of th^rn. Hut an American Statesman Ins no right to take ground adverse to .the fundamental policy of any part of the Union, recognized and guaranteed by the constitution; unless it is with a view to change the constitution. And Mr. Webster does not profess this to be his object. Suppose it had been objected in our national councils, or by any distinguished Southern _ e ? Til; Statesman, to the admission 01 \juw, ux Illinois or Michigan into the Union,?or to th<* sale of land by the Government, for the original settlement of the territory now embraced within these States, that to do so, would be an extension of the New England character within our borders, what would our New England fellow citizens have said- They would have said, and said truly, that such proceeding would be a violation of the constitutional compact. Could they have given their votes to Mr. Monroe, or even to Gen. Washington, if these eminent statesmen had taken such ground The Yankee character, whether good or bad (and we are not among those who hold it in tiie lowest estimation) is part of our national character, and any attempt of government to restrict it within its original limits, or to any limits at all, would be a gross and palpable infraction of the Con" - -- stitution ; ana equally so is ?mv aia-u.^i iU restrict the Southern character or institution of which the support of slavery forms a part, to its original, or any other limits. But New Englanlsrs may be, and often arc, modest and courteous enough to say, that their character and institutions are better than ours, and ought not, therefore, to be restricted or abolished, whilst ours ought. Men of sense will smile at such self complacency ; but the question whether either Southern or Northern character and institutions are to be restricted or abolished by the action of Government, was settled by the parties to the Federal compact, in the terras of the compact itself. Mr. \\ ebster holds principles hostile to the South. 11 e regret this ; fur otherwise, there is no man in the nation whom, as a mere statesman, we should consider more worthv of the high otlicc lor which he has been nominated. But, as it is. no Southern State can vote for him. It is therefore certain, he cannot be elected, as an opposition candidate. His friends seeing this, must, according to their pledges, abandon him.

From the several experiments, it is found that the 1 revolutions of the wheel have varied from twenty to forty per minute. The amount of . j wood consumed in keeping up a head of steam ,, * ? /?/ , i c. i equal to one hundred ana nny norse power, j I was about one ninth of a cord in half an hour] cj ; or one sixteenth the quantity required by an i ? i engine of the same power, for an equal length ? j of time. Other advantages have induced many to believe, that it applied to all the steam ^ { engines in and about New York, it would prove a saving in the article of fuel alone, of ^ ! more than a million of dollars per annum.
