However,'hey are planted at most seasons of the year?'.hough the spring is preferable. All sizes are planted, Ar other seasons, when the waters are, low, * * co uoi plant so close.

I w # I in their respective Province ; and that r.c other Logislaive or Executive does or can exist, at this time, in any of thee Colonies. 3. As all former laws arc now wholly suspended in t!i s Province, and the Congress have not yet provided others, wc judge it nccsssary, lor the better preservation ol good order, to form certain rules and icgulations for tin? int? rtml government of this coun y, until laws shall be prov ded for us by the Congress. 4. That the inhabitants of this county do meet on a certain day appointed by this committee and, having formed themsehes into nine companies, viz. eight in 'he county and one in the town of Charlotte, do choose a Colonel, and other military ofli. cers, who shall ho'd and exercise their several powers by virtue of this choice, and independent of the Crown of Great Britain and the former Constitution of this Province.

To this letter, with the mostcommendable promptitude, Mr. Paulding forthwi h despatched the following reply and severe n reproof; Navy Departnent, Dec. 12,1838. j Sir?Your communication informing the Department that, " under the Proclamation of the Governor of Pennsylvania," you had proceeded from Carlisle to Harrisburg, for tl the purpose of" assisting him in council, a or in any other way he might require your n services," has been received. e The Department does not perceive that b the Proclamation of Gov.

Junius Smith, in American now in England, to whom is O * ?warded the idea of successfully originating Atlantic Steam Companies, is taking up this subject up with great zeal. He contends? md I should like to see the argument gain:nyed?that the United States now have 10 Navy at all! What, for example, could he Pennsylvania, the big ship, do with a steam ship in an action, the s eam-ship havngthe power to take or tochange position it pleasure ? Mr. Webster, I remember, >n board the Great Western steam-ship at i dinner there, made a very short speech, n which, however, was this far-seeing bought: " The Greaf JVcstern has revolu. ionized the art of war.''1 The tact is our Congress ought to act forthwith. ?rom the Correspondence of the National I:i- i telligencer. j New VoqK, December 30.
