in which, as one of the editors of the Southern
Press, of this city, I took issue with my colleague
in advocacy of your claims to southern support
for the Presidency. That action was predicated
upon my belief of your entire soundness upon
the slavery question. Within the last week a
speech, purporting to have been delivered l>y you
in January last, has been republished from two
Democratic papers in your own State, (which ire
said now to support you.) On the truth or falsity
of this much depends. Neither those with
whom I act nor myself, can consent that any
doubt should rest on a matter of such importauce,
but, placing full reliance on the fearless
frankness of your character, on their behalf and
my own, I respectfully ask of you whether that
report, which voiir southern supporters believe
to be without foundation as opposed to your previous
course, is correct ?
The peculiar position which I occupy must
plead my apology for troubling you with this
letter.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
Edwin DeLdon.
General F. Tierce, Concord, N. II.
Concord, N. H., July 23, 1832.
Mr Dear Sir : Surrounded by pressiuuc engagements,
I seize the earliest opportunity to reply
to your letter of the 17tli instant. I much
regret that any thing connected with myself
should have been the cause of disagreement between
you and the gentlemen with whom you
have been associated in the editorial department
of the Southern Press. I do not remember ever
to have seen what purports to be a report of a
speech delivered by me at New Boston, in this
State, in January last, until my attention was
called to it as republished in the Republic. The
pretended report is, and I presume was designed
to be, an entire misrepresentation. It is not
merely untruthful, but is so grossly and absurdly
Jalsc, as to .render, in this vicinity, any denial
of its authenticity entirely unnecessary.
The two papers quoted? the Indejwndent Democrat,
published in this place, and the Democrat
published in Manchester?are thoroughly abolition
journals ; and have been and are zealously
opposed to the Democratic party. For a long
time prior to the meeting at New Boston, and
ever since, they have been unsparing in their attacks
upon ine personally, and in their bitter denunciation
of what they have been pleased to
term my pro-slavery sentiments. But it would
be something new for either of these papers to
deny the consistency of my opinions upon the
subject of the constitutional rights of the South
in relation to slavery.
My opinions and the avowal of them have
?1 1\.. * 1i\.l P
LH-vu cv?rv?nere uu;d<iuiu* iiiiuuiuiui 111 <J
difficulties and dangers which so long brooded
over the assemblage of wise men and pure patriots
to whose spirit of concession and earnest
efforts we arc indebted for the Constitution under
which we have enjoyed such signal prosperity,
advancement, and happiness, I have regarded
the subject as too vital and delicate to be used
as an element of sectional appeal in party conflicts.
My action and my language in New
Hampshire, touching this matter, have been at
all times and under all circumstances in entire
accordance with my action and language at
Washington. My votes in the Senate and House
of Representatives were not republished in the
Era for the first time. They have been again
and again paraded to arouse the passions and
prejudices of our people against me individually,
and against the party with which it has been my
pride and pleasure to act. There has been no
attempt to evade the force of the record. It has
been at all times freely admitted, and my position
sustained upon grounds satisfactory to my
own mind. I am not surprised t<> know that the
attempt to prove me an abolitionist provokes
much merriment among men of all parties here;
and this weak and untruthful sketch of what
purports to be my speech, is really too ridiculous
to be considered in any serious light.
I am in the daily receipt of letters propounding
the greatest variety of curious questions
upon all conceivable subjects. Letters of this
character cannot be answered, of course. No
individual could command either the time or
strength the herculean task would require. I
may add that such a correspondence would by
no means comport witl^ my views of duty.
The democratic party sent its delegates to Baltimore
not alone to nominate candidates, but to
reaffirm principles, and to present the leading issues
upon which the canvass should be conducted.
If I could deem myself capable of improving
the platform there adopted, it is quite certain
that I should decline, either at the call of individuals
or associations, to incur the charge of arrogance
to which any attempt to alter, amend,
or enlarge it, would inevitably subject inc.
Your letter is of an entirely different character.
It seeks truth in relation to an allctl'ed fact; it
speaks of history, to which loo searching an ap- j
peal cannot be made. I appreciate the estimate
you seem to have of my character for directness;
and beg you to accept my thanks for your efforts
to vindicate my claim to that trait, at least,
before the public.
I am, with high esteem, your obedient servant,
Frank. Fierce.

The Book Concern.?The following extract
from one of the New York letters of an exchange,!
accounts for the delay in adjusting the question j
of dividing the Methodist Book Concern situated |
in New York:
"The long-pending difficulty between (lie Methodist
Churches, North and South, in n-spect to
the mammoth Book Concern in this city, has not
yet been finally disposed of, although the principle
involved was decided by the United States
Circuit Court in favor of the Church South?ami i
the Church North has determined not to appeal.
The cause of the delay is said to l>e the confused
state of the accounts of their concern, which the
most skillful book keepers find dillicult. to unravel;
and, until these accounts are straightcd out,
it will l>c impossible to ascertain the value of the
concern. The fact is, the Hook CVAiccru has
been in the hands of the inost stupid and incompetent
men that could have been called from the
whole fieM of the Methodist denomination. They
may have been abundantly blessed with piety,
but they have not had the least modicum of business
fact, and have gone on, heaping blunder upon
blunder, until the financial department is in almost
inextricable confusion. The best way to
settle the matter would .be to sell out the whole
concern to the highest bidder, and to divide the
proceeds."
Escape of I)k. IIines from Chatham couxty
(Ga.) Jail.?Dr. David T. 1 lines, who was
arrested a few weeks since on the charge cf swindling,
and who alter examination, was committed
to jail to await his trial at the next term of
the Superior Court, made his escape on Saturday
night in the following manner; lie was confined
in one of the upper back rooms, and by placing
cots and some articles in the centre of the floor,
he was enabled to force his way through the
ceiling to the space next the roof. lie then, by
means of some instruments, probably chisels,
succeeded in moving the bars from the side ventilators
in the attic, and breaking through some
of the bricks, let himself down into the yard by
means of strips of cloth.
lie was accompanied, and no doubt assisted,
by a man named A. J. Knapp, who was confined
on a charge of assault with intent to murder.
There were three other persons confined in the
same room, who stated that they did not know
when IIines and Knapp made their exit, and
nothing of the preparations which were making.
Up to the time of writing .this notice, neither
Hincs nor his accomplice have heeu apprehended.
So says the Savannah Republican of the 17th.
Hew a re of Max Traps.?The Supreme Court
of Connecticut has decided that a correspondence
iu writing between a marriageable female and
an unmarried man, is presumptive evidence of an
engagement! The Judge says:
" That an engagement exists, or an offer has
been made and accepted where a correspondence
takes place between such parties, as are described
in this case, is wc think, iu accordance with general
experience, which is one of the usual and
most satisfactory tests of human evidence ; and
although, when taken alone and disconnected
from other facts, it may not be so strong as some
evidence that might be suggested, yet we hold
it competent to be submitted to a jury, and from
which they may find a promise to marry, if the
evidence satisfies them of the fact."
Bachelors and cousins should beware of committing
themselves.

Seventy Miles in Twelve IIocrs.?At Newport,
011 Saturday last, a pedestrian accomplished
a very wonderful feat in his peculiar line. His
name is Win. Hughes, and he is an Englishman.
He was to receive eighty dollars provided that
he walked seventy miles in fifteen hours, being
an average rate of nearly five miles an hour.
Strange as it may seem, he not only accomplished
this immense labor, but also?in three hours
less time than his limit. His walk was from the
north corner of the Atlantic House to the south
corner of the Ocean House, and seventy miles
required him to traverse this space one hundred
and eighty times. Hughes commenced walking
at 4 o'clock in the morning and concluded his
last round at 20 minutes past 4 in the afternoon.
This was an average walk of about^six miles per
hour. Ilughes was lightly dressed, seemed to
be but little fatigued, and said that if people were
not sntislied lie could walk live miles more.
A vast number were assembled to witness it,
and many gentlemen timed him, with watch in
hand, for several hours. During one part of the
day he stretched himself oil a plank for a few
moments, ami occasionally stopped to drink a
glass of beer.
Kossuth in Ex u land.?We tind the following
announcement of the arrival of Kossuth, alias
Alexaudor Smith in England, in the Liverpool
Albion:
Among the passengers by the mail steamship
Africa, arrived at Liverpool, were cx-Covernor
of Hungary and his lady. Before taking a passage
on board the Africa, M. Kossuth had signified
his intention of sailing in the Wa hingtoii,
which was advertised to leave New-York three
days after the steamer. Instead of doing so,
however, lie secured berths in the Africa for himself
and Madame Kossuth, under the name of
A. Smith and lady, lie threw oil' his inc<t</nilu
before the passage had been completed. Nothing
of interest connected with the Magyar occurred
during the voyage. (In landing he looked
considerably carewun. lie is accompanied by
Count Col. Bietheii and Col. lliaz, who also ol>tained
passages under assumed names, a step taken,
in all probability, in order that they might
have a quiet embarkation. The party left Livnrnool

more of less shocked; they immediately went to
work at their comrade, and with the aid of cold
water and rubbing for about half an hour, revived
him.
Starvation in tiik West Indies.?Accounts
from the Windward Islands continue to be received
of the state of starvation into which the
people of those islands are involved from the
long-continued, drought. Antigua, St. Kitts,
St. Lib ia, Anguila and t'uracoa, are represented
as particularly destitute and distressed. In
Augualla, the drought, which had prevailed for
sewn months, had reduced the poorer class to
absolute cl?*s{it m ii ?n .and misery; many are absolutely

THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL.
r It ID AY EVENING, AUGUST 20, 1852.
THO. J. WARREN, Editor.
True Independence.
The true policy of our State is to make all wo can
out of our resources?turn every dollar of available
capital into some useful and profitable enterprise.?
Within the borders of our State, may be found large
quantities of pine and other valuable timbers, into
which the woodman's axe has scarce been put. What
valuable products these may bo made; and all that is
required to turn our interminable pine forest3 into ready
money, is a little energy and some effort.
When we see a fellow-citizen, or several of our citizens
uniting their efforts, for the improvement of the
means which have been placed within their reach, we
are obliged to admire to some extent at least, the spirit
of improvement which is manifested by them. We
venture there is no District in the State with greater
diversity of soil?and consequently better adapted for
carrying on a large lumber business?than ours, and
yet, how little arc the blessings prized which we enjoy?
Until within a year or two, such a thing as a steam
mill was altogether unknown in our District, and even
now, we have only one in operation, and another nearly
ready to bo worked. Tho first belonging to the
Messrs. Love, has been in operation about two years:
the other in progress of erection by the Messrs. Tryu.v, |
will bo ready to saw before long. IV e are always glad .
to see any kind of public spirit among our citizens.
Steam mills, we believe, have proved very profitable
in every section of the State wherever erected, and there
is no reason why they should prove otherwise with us.
The great advantage they possess over other mills,
is, that they are not dependant upon a yood head of water,
or rain for running; they can also be removed to
another locality when timber gets scarce, and thus they
may be regarded very profitable. The time will corno
when our people will sec where they have been in their
own light too long, by not giving greater attention to
such matters. Our planters, particularly tho largest,
havo been too much absorbed with the idea of making
tremendous cotton crops, to tho neglect of other interests,
less prominent, but of equal importance. There
is scarcely any business where a man may not make as
much clear money with the same labor, as in that of
raising cotton. It seems a fatal error of the. cotton
I growing states, mat cacn one cngaguu m uiu tiuwic
of the staple, tries to sec how much they can raise; in
this way an overwhelming crop is commonly produced,
and tho Northern and European markets are overstocked.
They have the game then in their own hauds,
and the producer at their mercy, receives about enough
to pay expenses and perhaps a little over. We do not
expect every planter will quit tanking cotton and go to
making steam mills, and all that?somebody must raise
cotton! but why raise, it to the exclusion of other and
more valuable products? The idea we are afteris this:
Let our farmers look more to the substantial aud ccr- ,
tain products, which are valuable iu themselves, and
good for use at home. Cotton is only good to sell; its
value to the Farmer is only whoro lie cau sell it. "We
believe there is too much ado made about cotton?let
our farmers make themselves, as nature intended them,
lmppy, by reaping the fruit of their labor in those things
intended for man's immediate use and comfort. Make
sure of an abundant provision crop, and let cotton come
in as a secondary consideration. The past year's experience
of all classes bears attestation to justify what
we have said; and yet, if cotton opens in the fall at
twelve or fifteen cents, how many will regret that tliey
did not plant more, even at the risk of paying one dollar
per bushel for corn! Such is human nature! Suppose
even- planter, this year, had planted as much cotton
as usual, and 110 more corn, what would become oi
us? Wo might entertain very serious apprehensions
for the coming year. We hope the experience of the
past will suffice as a guide for the future. We believe
Dr. Joiixso.v made tiie remark, that "Experience is the
best teacher, and that some will learn by none other.'
The old gentleman might have added, that some never
will learn, oven from this severe instructor.
Interesting Correspondence.
Wo publish this evening the correspondencebctweeu
Mr. Edwin* PeLeox and Con. I'eakck, on the subject
of a speech purporting to have been delivered by the
General in January last, in which lie took strong abolition
grounds?and which speech has been extensively
circulated in the South. We, in common with those
who had marked the course of General Pkakce on 1I10
the slavery question while in Congress, paid very little
attention to the story, regarding it as a sheer fabrication,
designed to operate against him at the South.
The General, it will he seen, gives a full and satisfactory
denial to the slander.

say that "while gratefully acknowledging the toolkitI
tering compliment bestowed upon him in the commuuication
in tlio Register, nominating liini for the
United States Senate, and speaking of him in such
terms as lie knows perfectly well could only be prompted
by the extravagant partiality of friendship, he is
constrained, at the risk of incurring the chargcof vanity
in unnecessarily declining a nomination, to declare ,
that he is utterly unwilling that his name should bo
spoken of at all for tho oflico in question, which ho
would not accept if so improbable an event should occur
as his election to ii."

to visit that State, in which he says "I have long

vegetable productions and one of great benefit to tbe
South. It can only be grown to any perfection in
warm latitudes. With us it thrives wonderfully, and
forms one of the many articles of food with which God
has blessed our country. It yields abundantly even
on ordinary ground, and is one of the best and most
agreeable of all our_vegetables.
The Sweet Potato is very fattening, and may be
cooked in any way?they arc however, best when
well baked. Children and negroes are extremely fond
of them. Stock of all kinds, and poultry relish them
much.
They have been known to pn d.ice at the rate of
700 bushels to the acre from the roots?thus making
more than forty thousand pounds of excellent food
from one acre. The cultivation of the Potato puts the
ground in most admirable order for any subsequent
crop. The Potato cut into slices, dried and parched,
makes the best substitute for Coffee, of any thing wo
have ever known used?mixed in equal quantity with
Coffee, it improves its color and richness. **.
A Bonaparte ix tiik American Army.?A promotion
of 43 cadets of the Military Academy at West

We remark among the number the name of the cadet
Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, who was No. 11 in his
class at the time of the examination, and who is appointed
to the regiment of mounted riflemen. He is
the grandson of Jerome Bonaparte, brother of tho Emperor
Napoleon, Ex-King of Westphalia, and now President
of the French Senate. Ills grandmother, Madame
Patterson, first wifo of Prince Jerome, resides in
Baltimore.
The South-Carolina Rail Road.?In view
of the approaching seasons'* business, which
from all accounts promise to be large, we are
pleased to learn that extensive arrangements
have been made by the South-Carolina Rail Road
Company, so far as tlicy tire concerned to meet
it.
"We understand that they are within the last
six weeks in receipt of four new locomotives, of
the most superior model and construction, viz:
the Gazelle, Fawn, Humming Bird and Hon tin
Allen. Two more, the James Adgcr and Jno.
Fraser, are now landing. Two more, tho Win.
Aiken and Joseph Johnston, arc shipped at Philadelphia,
and two more, the Thomas Bennett
and Velocity, are on shipboard at New-York;
making ten additional locomotives that are or
will be on the road and in service before the 1st
day of September, which will be increased by the
addition of two more freight enemies bv 1st No

Six additional new passenger cars have already
been or will be added to their present full
stock of cars by 1st September, viz: the Mccklenburgh,llhcosxie,
IIuntsville, Tuscumbin, Fairfield
and JCnon'i/lc. The freight or burthen cars
have been increased also, since the 1st of January
to the extent of 117 new cars, and 50 more,
will be added before the 1st January, making
their stock of freight cars equal to from 000 to
650 box and platform.
Other arrangements are being made, we understand,
that promise to ensure great facility
and despatch to business for the coming season.

Accident on* the Rah. Road.?A negro man
named Fortune, the property of Mr. A. S. Winter,
of Roadville, met with a dreadful death yesterday.
It appears that ho was in the vicinity
of Woodstock, and had laid down to sleep upon
one side of the Railroad track, in close proximity
to the rails. While in this position, the train of
cars rapidly approached, and ho was discovered
by the engineer, who blew his whistle and endeavored
to stop the locomotive but without i
success. The unibrtunate man, although aroused,
appeared to be stupefied (either by sleep or liquor,)
for he merely turned over changing his
position so as to throw his legs across the rails,
and the whole train passed over him, mutilating
and killing him instantly. A jury of inquest
was summoned, and a verdict returned in accordance.?

Recipe for Burns.?As I see many^Hj^^^H

for burns:
Take lime water as strong as it can be macw^^9
and add to it as much alum as it will dissolve, .
after which add one . ounce of sweet oil, which ~ Bj
will turn it to jelly, like opodeldoc, if the lixne is
strong enough. This should be kept by every i 1
family in a tight bottle, -in some place where it . 19
cannot freeze, and should be immediately applied. 1
A child of mine got her cloths on fire in the aft- % 11
senee of the family, and when discovered the skin I
was almost burnt off her face and neck; we had I
to make preparation, but in fifteen minutes after -1
applied, the fire was extracted, and the child at "
ease. I have tried most ot recipos published in u
the papers nothing have I found equal to the 1
above. If rightly made and properly applied, it 9
will extract all the. burning heat in ten minutes. ; |

the Red Sea, in 1S48, visited the garden of Geth- * '
scmanc about the middle of May. He says: J
" The clover upon the ground was in bloom,
uiv ^aiucu, in us cttjnxio uuu ? Ml
sociations, was better calculated than any place Jfl
I know, to soothe a troubled spirit. Eight ven-^^M
erable trees, isolated from the smaller and less^^B
imposing ones which skirt the pass of the Mount ^9
of Olives, form a consecrated grove. High aboyo^^H
on either hand, towers a lofty mountain, with fcfiesM
deep, yawning chasm of Jehosaphat between, 9
them. Crowning one of them is Jerusalem, a : 9
living city; on the slope of the other is a Jewish m
ccmetry, a city of the dead. ?
Each tree in this grove is cankered and gnarl- 'M
od, and furrowed by age, yet beautiful and im- 9
pressivc in its decay, is a living monumentof the 9
affecting scenes thathave taken place beneath^ 9
and around it. The olive perpetuates itself and jj
from the root of the dying parent stem, the 9
young tree springs into existence. These are 9
accounted one thousand years old. Under those 9
of the preceding growth, therefore, the Savior I
was wont to rest; and one of the present may 9
mark the very spot where he knelt and prayed . 9
and wept. iNo cavilling doubt can find entrance
here. The geographical boundaries arc too dis- jfl
tinct and clear tor an instant's hesitation. Ilere
the Christian, forgetful of the present and absorhed
in the past, can resign himself to sad, yet
soothing meditation. The few purple and crimsod
flowers, growing about the roots of the troa,
will give ample foot! for contemplation?for MB
lliev tell of the suffering and ensanguined death HH
