A new paper under the above title to be

William G. Swan of lvnoxvillo, is about to be I
established nt that place. Tho eminent abili- *
tics of Mr. Mitchcll will give to it a high char- 1

The SilUman Manifesto.
Asa part of the political history "of the times, (
says the Charleston J/?rriir?/, wc publish the |
extraordinary correspondence between certain
citizens of New Ilavcn, mostly Profeiworr in 1
Yale College, and the President of the United
States. We believe.ills the first time in the
history of our country, when the go-culled I
right of petition has been constructed to cm- 1
brace the right of individuals to force upon ,
! the notice of the Executive their opinions tip ,
on the manner in which ho should exercise the !
functions of his office, an J wc only regret that | !
the President should have condescended to | ^
take any notice of this impertinent intermud- ; i
dling. But it appears that since the days of jl
I waru lieecher'a somioii on Sharp*'* riflus first j 1
and the Bible afterwards, New liavuu lias | (
been eroded into a kind of sacred city?a Mee | ,
ca of llic Frefcsoil faithful?and that her liter- |
nry dignitaries feel nuthoriz -d and bound to
let out their cur-dogs to bnrk on every ]>oliti- j
eal issue from Main to Kansas. The President's |
reply is contemptuous enough, but we should
have been better satisfied, as we have saidnbove
if he had adopted the emitter contempt of not replying

The Essay, ,
We had the pleasure on last Tuesday* eve- I
liing of listening to a very interesting Jlssay, 1
read by James M. Petri u, Esq., at the regular
.^jwnthly meeting of the Young Men's Christian
Association, on The Charge* again*! Bacon of (
Ingratitude to L'tsrx and of Judicial Corrup- ,
lion. The Es|ay was quite an elaborate per- j
-Jbrmnuce, and presented an abic review of thb
various specifications of moral delinquency, in
the impeachment of the i?rr>nf i?
1 " D * 1 i
presented in detail'the evidence in support of
the charge?, which were considered as fully
substantiated by the proof adduced.
?' Ao interesting discussion ensued in which
Judge'WiflQa wlvMr. Thomson, Dr. Togno and
'oWdfcj participated". Thfe Judgfc' was inclined
toiraSpnfc'from the judgtnant of posterity upon
thotnornl character of Bacon.* which he supposed
to be in a great measure influenced by
the poet1? censure,
' Wisest, brightest, meanest of mankind,"
and thought that the evidence, whilst it failed
to absolve Bacon from all guilt, equally failed
to fix upon him, a high.degree of moral turpitude.
Mr. ^Thomson followed in support of
the conclusions of the Essayist, and Dr. Togno
contra. - - t

latest-reliable information foncerniug
the condition of the relation* ,wn.1
to be ciuhracej in the two following extracts ;
tfic first, from tlie Washington correspondence
o/ the Courier nnd Enquire*, nn.l the second
froifi tWe Xew Voi'k Sun ; the first giving the
strfPfc of the question in Spain, the other its condition
in England, where the solution of the
matter truly rests as Spain cannot makft war
wilhoftV England's tacit or avowed consent :
' The hist news froui Matlrii] is not favorable
to a settlement of the ditliciiltics between
Spain and Mexico. Ilut it ij hardly possible
that the dispute <*an proceed in the length of
a war. Spain is iu no condition to attack
Mexico, and if she were, could not hope to reconqucr
the cii\intry. She could wage hostilities
in no oilier way than by an invasion, and
it is a fact which no Spanish statesman can
<il-?il,...lr II...I ..r
?v I "
tlu; s??il of Mexico by it Sp;ini!?li Jinny, would
be the signal of nctivo interference l?y the
I'uiteil State.-). Tlie Intent intelligence from
Mexico clearly shows that government and people
liotli look with confidence to this country
for aid even in anticipation of hostiliiies, and
they are willing to assign t<i this Republic important
privileges, and even a further slice of
national territory, for n present supply of cash.
"1 continue of the opinion which 1 have hefore
expressed, that this disagreement will be
settled nl Koine, and will result in restoring to
the clerjiv some uortion of the nrivileires of.
which they liaVc been deprived by the firmness
and energy of Comonftirt."
The Spanish-Mexican Question.?One of the
lending l,omIon joucnnls jcenM to regard thu,
difficulty between Mp??in nnd Mexico as threatening
disastrous consequences, and it culls on
Parliament, before the srssion closes, to ask
from Ministers a distinct statement of the
steps which they h avc taken to prevent hostilities,
from whieli ISrj.cish Commerce must sulfer,
and which would alniostcertainly ''din a war
between Spain nml the United States. Indeed,
our Ktiglish colcinporary exhibits a strong apprehension
that the inordinate pride nml folly
uf the Spanish government may lend it into
war, which would furnish the United Stales
with an opportunity to seize Cuba, ami extend
its protection over Mexico.

The Carolina Tributo to Calhoun.
Among the various efforts to do honor to the
memory of Carolina's greatest statesman, the
suggestion of a correspondent of the Carolinian
is worthy of nil consideration, who proposes
the publication in a permanent form of the
various oulogic*, which were elicited by his
death. The writer has in his possession the
necessary materials which .lie offers to any
Cnrolininn who will undertake the tusk. Such
a work would constitute a monument more
enduring than marble, nnd whilst it would
give expression to the grief and admiration
of a grateful country, would most effectually
illustrate flic character and genius of tlio
deceased statesman, and awaken a spirit of
generous cmulntion.
The following pamphlets, furnish the mnto

j their gallantry and patriotism :
' ( en. Quitman, the commanding ofiiccr on
the occasion, say* :
I "The (Sarita was taken on a charge at full

Tlio following is Col. Goarv's statement:
"Tlie linnl charge was then made, and after a
sanguinary struggle the Garita was captured.
Immediately upon its capture, I saw the gallant
commander of our division waving a haiulkcrchief,
fixed upon a rille, from tliu parapet- of
the gate. After many of the troops had arrived
within the wall, General Quitman uunoiiii'
ced tin: fact that we were in the city of Mexico,
ami wore the first American troops that had ;
passed the ramparts. Standing near the (Sen- j

and myself to note the time, which was ticetiti/

"whoever survives the action should

victory over the Garita, for the benefit of the

no doubt of the future success of the enterprise, j
Tlic flexibility of the cable, renders it cnpablc
of adapting itself t?i every inequality of depth,
and its action so far front being impaired, is
materially improved by being sunk in deep
water.
Charles T. Bright, the Engineer of the Atlantic
Telegraph company, has made an ofticiul
report, with regard to the late uiunccesaful
attempt from'whieli we make the following
extract:
1 had up to thii? time attended personally to
tlic regulation of the brakes, but finding that
dl wns going on woll, and it being necessary
1 should bo temporarily away froin tho machine
to ascertain the rate of the ship and to see how
the entile was coining out of the hold, and also to
vijit the electrician's room themnchiue was for
the moment left in charge of a mechanic
hud been engaged at the first in its construction
and tilting, and was acquainted with its operation.
1 was proceeding to tho fore part of
the ship, when I hcnrd.the machine stop. I.
immediately called out to soe tho brake an?r
reverse the engine of the ship, but when 1 had
readied the spot the cable was broken.
On examining the machine which was Other
i T t i .i . .i i
jMlUAt VI4ICI, i. IUUIII1 IIIAL (I1C UI'dKOj |
had nut been released, and to this or the
j hand wheel of tlie brake being turneA the
! wrong way, may be attributed the stoppage,
and the consequent fracture of the cable.
When the rntc of the wheels grew alow as (lie
ship dropped her stern in the swell, the brake
should have been eased. This had been done
rcgttlarly before whenever nn unusually sudden
descent of the ship temporarily withdrew
the pressure froui the cable in the sen, but owing
to our entering the deep water the previous
morning, and having all hands ready for any
emergency that might oceur there, the chief
part of my staff had beau compelled to give ill
at uiglit through shoer exhaustion, and hence,
bcing.short haudcd, 1 was obliged for the time
to lisive the machine without, as it prove*, sufficient
intelligence to control it. I perceive
that on the iTfcxt occasion it will be ireedfu),
from the wearing ami anxious nature, of the
work, to have three seperate relays of sUff,
and to emnlov for n?.t/>i.t.i?n #! ??
higher degree of mechanical tkill. Tli6'origi?t<L
the accident whs no.doubt the smattt of fcuMF
Injj strain put upon tile cable, but h?rfth?q?aeluoo
been properly manipulated at tbe time,
it could not pyMlbly have ttk^&?pl?ce.
1 do not perceive in our preseut position any
rcaaon for discouragement; but I nave, oti tbe
contrary, a greater eon6deuoe tlian ever In- the
t?iidqftoking. It baa beon proved beyond a
doubt that i?o( obstacle exist to prevent our)
ultimate success, and 1 see clearly bow every

It is well known that Governor Hammond

The Managers of elections.
At a meeting of the managers of Kleetions [
for Kdgc field District, held on the 15th Ueto- i
ber.JlH.'jO, the following resolutions were passed: 1
Jlrxolwil, That n Committee of three be np- '
poiiiled by the Chair to memorialize the Leg- J'
islature <iii the subject?asking 1 hat Managers
of Elections be exeinnt from l>atrol and riiililn. > '
ry duty, nni] tliat. they open the |m>]Is but one !
day and count the votes at their respective j e
precinct.-*.
Whereupon Messrs. E. \V. Scibels, Thomas
Crafton ninl Patrick Coleman, were appointed !
by the Chair. ^
Jirtolvctl, That wo respectfully' invito the ,]
Managers of Elections throughout the State to .
join us hy milking n similar petition. i
l{e*oletd, That the Secretary of this meeting
semi a copy* of these proceedings to the Chairman
of the malingers in each District. ii
In pursuance of the ahovo resolutions, the P
Committee appointed, prepared a petition to s
the Legislature, which received the favorable t
consideration . of the Committee of Privileges o
and Elections, and will be reported upon at "
the next meeting of the Legislature. 0
It is desired that the Chairman of the Mnna- v
gi-ic 111 cucii j/iairic?t jiri'sciib u tmimnr pennon "
to the Committee, before the 4th Monday of l'
November, in order to ensure action l>y the ^
next Lcgi*lature. As the changes required by
the petition, contemplate nn alteration of the v
Constitution, this enn only be done by Lcgisla- ti
tures of different Sessions. The Coramitteo
urge the following reasons for the changes: j
It is needless to expect the purity of tlio c
ballot-box to be rigidly preserved until some -j
law is passed that holds out an inducement for ,]
men to become managers. Under tlio present ?
system, A. requcsU that B. be appointed in his u
place, which is necordigly done, houevcr, in- .
competent he in, or how iconvenieiit it may be j
for him to tcrce ; he hns never seen the Juws ^
defining the duties nnd powers of managers,
and (we think it very doobtful whether onetenth
of the manngcres have ever seen them) it c
is not probable that he can repeat the oath re- u
quired to be takan before the poHs are opened. 11
lie proceeds, therefore, in an irregular, illegal
munncr in this most important business?serves '<
one term, has Mr. C. appointed in bis place ; d,
and4hus the thing goes on almost in regular J
rotation, every one anxious- to get out of an "
office that brings neither honor/nor profit ; but e'
on the contrary attended iuvarjihly with trou- *
ble and expense. , t. ?

.l/r. Editor : Believing that llie introduction

tlio liberty of asking you to puhli.-di ill
..... iui ui? ueiictil ot those who Iiiivc i
r may uttumpt its culture, my experiments in I
roving iunl making syrup.
My moile of pluntiiig is to prepare the soil (

ic seed in the drill live to nix in a place from i
2 to 15 inches apart. The plants left for seed 1

lose intended for syrup to ha li ft stainling,
lecors and all, to he worked iu the manner as
jrn and cotton, to be planted from the 10th j j
> the 1Mb of April. J <
Tli j grand inquiry is, how can you ascertain j
lie proper time to cut the cane niul know it is j (
illy ripe, 1 will answer : When the enne is |
pe you will discover nt the lop of the stalk, |
x inches below the tassel a dark red ppot on
ic main stalk, the upper Made having the
line color. Ah the cane ripens from the top,
le stalk assumes a deep yellow cast or straw
>ler, the jiit/i of the stalk is a deep brown
rjlor, when such appearances is shown, it is
illy ripe and ready for syrup. The reason
hy most of the syrup made has a peculiar
lite is, that the cano wn cut before it was
illy ripe. 1 would here rcmnrk Irom actual
\-periuifiit that more syrup can bo made from
Nile fully-matured, than where it is cut indisriiuiuatcly,
some being ripe and sonic green.
