of the 22d inst. states that the county
of Washington was visited with
vere storm (the Georgian calls it a
tornado) on the 19th. and speaks of it
thus :
On Saturday we had a very heav;^
fall of rain, and we learn that frmn
cloud, there passed over the plan
of Mr. Richard Lightfoot, %?sto
whiehj besides the damage* to fences
and crops, blew dowo ait his negro

threw a large tree iflPphis dwelling.

We hear of injury sustained by oth-
ers. The force of the tornado seems
to haveexhaused itself there,

«ve^;; attended ^ti some parts
gine. The salt produced by this lake
is said" to be superior to that from
Turk's Island. St. Martin possesses
likewise a very fertile soil, producing
everything appertaining to a tropical
climate. The island is fifteen miles
long and* ten broad, it is owned
partly by the French and partly by
Holland.
On the north or French part the
negroes were emancipated by the edict
of the Provincial Government of
France, at the time when France bade
fair to become an anarchy, a month
previous to the adoption of their pre-
sent form of Government. This
hasty and injudicious step ruined all
their Wesí¿ríndia possessions, and
half of St. Martin in particular. The
negroes refused any longer to work,
and committed atrocities of the most
diabolical kind, subsisting entirely
by plunder. Consequently their por-
tion of this island is of no use to
them^costing them thousands annually
without any hope of1,ever getting one
cent of revenue. Now, as they have
not the salt pond, they have endeav-
ored to purchase their part from the
Dutch, with the hope of having a colo-
ny in the West Indies. His Majesty
of the Low Countries was willing1 to

the interior tea countries of (
and the difficulty of procuring
seeds.
The British, wo observe, are mak-
ing great efforts to introduce the cul-
ture of tea into India, and of late liave
better prospects of succeeding. An
agent sent to China has lately return-
to Calcutta, with eight tea manufac-
turers from the far-framed tea districts
of the North ; the first who oyer left
their naiivecountry from these districts,
together with a large assortment of
impolments there in the manufacture
of tea. He brought 1749 young tea
plants, and about 17,000 germinating
seeds. He also had fourteen Ward's
cases for the young plants. The des-
cription of the maimer in which these
seeds were transported by the agent, a
Mr. Fortunéis curious :
•'Between each row of plants large
quantities of seeds were sown in China,
wjien the cases were planted. Two
other ca.ses, made to take round some
camelias for the Botanic Gardens,
Calcutta, were filled with seeds, mixed
with a lettl^damp earth. The came-
lias were planted, and their roots cov-
ered with the same mixture oi tea
seeds and earth. Thus he had in
each box a mass of seeds, say three-
fourths seeds and one-fourth earth.—
In this state the cases were brought
round to Calcutta. When they arrived
the camelias were gently lifted out
in excellent order, and the whole inass
of tea seeds was just beginning ta ger-
minate."
It is estimated that the number of
germinateiiig seeds in these cases is
10,000, or perhaps many more. Mr.
Forme jwas about to start immediately
for the northwest provinces of India,
the British Government having furn-
ished a steamer to take up all the
plants, implements and Chinese opera-
tives.

Gentlemen: Will you have the
kindness to request your Texas bretk-
eren of the press to'notify Miss Ask-
liaui—an English lady, formerly a
resident of this county, but now be-
lieved to be in some part of Texas—
that advantage is about being taken
of her absencc, to institute legal pro-
ceedings by which she may be deprived
of some valuable property, and advise
her to send immediatelly a power of
attorney to some friend that can be de-
pended upon, to act in her absence.—
By so doing, gentlemen, you and your
Texas bretheren will aid in protecting
the rights of a defenceless woman,
and greatly further the ends of
JUSTICE."
FHOüI THE HRITJSH PROVISOES.
More Deserters.
St. John's papers to the IStli inst.
state that five more British soildiers
had deserted and reached the Amor-
ean shores, it appears that they repre-
sented themselves to be in pursuit
of deserters, but no sooner had they
got on board the boat than they clasp-
pad their guns and pistols to the heart
of the ferry master and demanded to
be placed on the American shore,
which he was obliged to subin it to.
After they had landed they sold their
guns. The St. John's papers inquire
whether Brother Jonathan will deny
that this is a case to come uiider the
Ashburton treaty, as when they first
started they «tole a wagon aid span
of horses which they left, hove ver, on
the British side.
Serving out an Abolitionist.—We
learn from the Georgia papers that an in-
discrcei abolitionist, by the name of Na
than Bird Watson, who hails from New
Haven Ct., was last week sumnarily ex-
pelled from Warren county. G-a.,by a com-
mittee of citizens appointed for that pur-
pose. It seems that he had been in the
habit of "promulgating abolition senti-
ments, publicly and prhfi^j- among tho
people" of Warrenton, and that he had
been detected in "visiting suspected negro
houses," as is supposed for the purpose of
inciting the slaves and free negro popula-
tion to insurrection and insubordination.
In view of these facts, a meeting of citi-
zens was organized, and a committee ap-
pointed to conduct Mr. Watson out of the
limits of the county, which committee
discharged the duty by conducting the
gentleman to Cainack, where he was placed
upon the Georgia Railroad cars, on his
way to his "native land." They did not
however, take leave of him until they had
favored him with a ride on a rail, and
treated him to a suit of sable, his favorite
color.
Watson is a carriage maker by trade,
and we learn by the Augusta Constitution-
alist, ot the loth inst., that he was then
in that city. The fttiitor says :
Yv e hope the officers will see him safely
across the ferry. Once in'our sister State,
with the endorsement of our Warrenton
friends, he will fine* himself speedily on
salt water. Should he return again, lie
may probably be fitted with a hempen cra-
vat.
The following is the description of his
person as given by the Warrenton com-
mittee :
^The said Nathan Bird Watson is a man
of dark complexion, hazle eyes, black hair,
and wears a heavy board—measures five
feet eleven and three quarter inches—has
a quick step, and walks with his toes in-
clined inward, and a little stoop shoulder-
ed—now wears a check coat and white
pants—says he is twenty three years of
age. but will pass for twenty five or thirty.

steads and set sail for America.
Possessed of considerable property in |
the shape of'siller,' the company were not |
like the generality of emigrants poor and j
friendless—but happy and full of hope for !
the future. The first thing done after the j
landing was taking out thy old heir loom, j
and returning thanks and praise to II¿in
who had guided their bark to a safe heaven, i
As the fanner's object in coming to this ;
country was to purchase a farm and follow
his occupation, but little time was spent
in the city he had arrived in. and as his
fellow passengers had previously deter-
mined on their destination, he bade them
farewell, and with a light heart turned his
face towards the setting sun. Indiana at
the time was settling fast, and having
heard of its cheap and fertile lands, he
dstermined on settling within its borders.
On the banks of the Wabash he fixed
on a farm, and having paid eash ior one
half, gave a mortgage for the balance pay-
able in c-:a year. Having stocked his
farm and put seed in the ground, he rested
from his labor, and patiently waited the
time when he might go forth and reap the
harvest; but also no grain gladdened his
heart or rewarded his toil. The fever of
the country attacked him, and the time
when the fields were white with the full-
ness of the laborer's skill, death called him
home, and left his disconsolated wife a
widow, and his only child an orphan.
We leave the first sorrow, and pass oil
to the struggles of the afflicted widow a
year afterwards. The time having arriv-
ed when the mortgage was to be paid, she
borrowed tha money of a neighbor, who
had been very attentive to her husband
and to herself, one wdio had knelt at tho
same table with her to renew the professed
obligation to the giver of all good. Hard
and patiently did she toil to repay the
sum against the promised time; but all
would not do—fortune frowned, and she
gave way to her accumulated troubles.—
Disheartened and distracted, she relin-
quished the farm and stock for a less sum
than she owed her christian neighbor, who
not satisfied with that put an execution
upon her furniture.
On the Sabbath previous to the sale
she took courage, and strengthened herself
with the knowledge of having wronged no
one, went to the temple of her Father,'
with a heart filled with humanity and love,
poured out her soul tD 'Ilim who turneth
not away,'and having communed side by
side with her christian neighbor, returned
to her desolate home,
Her fortitude had liked to forsaken her,
but seeing tho 'old family Bible,' she rev-
erently put it to her lips and sought con-
solation from its pages. Slowly she pe-
rused its holy and inspiring verses, and
gathered hope from its never failing prom-
ises. /
The day of sail having arrived, her few
goods and chatties were in due course
knocked oil to the highest bidder. Un-
moved she saw them pass from her posses-
sion, article after article without a mur-
mur, till the constable held up the old
family Bible. This was too much. Tears
flowed and gave utterence to a broken
heart. She begged the constable to spare
her this memento of her revered and de-
parted parents—and the humane man of
the law would willing have given it to her,
but the inexorable creditor declared every-
thing should be sold as he was determin-
ed to have all that was coming to him.
Thebook was therefore put up, and was
about being disposed of for a few shillings,
she snatched it and declared she would
have some relic*of those she loved, cut the
slender thread that held the brown linen
cover, with the intention of retaining it.—
The cover fell into her hands, and with it
two fiat pieces of thin dirty paper. Sur-
prised at the circumstance, she examined
them, and what was her joy and delight
to find that they each contained five hun-
dred pounds on the bank of England.—
On the back of one. in her mother's hand
writing, were the following words: "When
sorrow overtake ye seek yer Bible." The
sale was immediately stopped, and the fam-
ily Bible given to its faithful owner. The
furniture sold was readily offered to her
by those who had purchased, which she
gladly took back.
Having paid off her relentless creditor
to the last farthing, and rented a small
house in tho village of , she placed
her money iu such a way as to receive in-
terest enough to keep her comfortable;
and now is able to enjoy the prospects of
the old family Bible without fear or mo-
lestation. Iler time and attention are
given to the bringing up of the bright blue
eyed Alice, and if. the happy smiles of the
countenance may be considered as an in-
dex to the heart and mind, little Alice bids
fair tobe a shining star to the community
of which at present she forms but a unit.
At a meeting house in the centre of a
village may be seen every Sunday, sitting
about half way up the south aisle, a lady
about thirty years old, dressed in deep
mourning, with the beauty of holiness,
but on whom may be seen deep traces of
past sorrow.
At the public house in the same place,
and at the same time, may also be seen a
being in the garb of a man, bloated and
sitting over the poisoning bowl. The one

Rust i\ Cottox.—A new disease has
made its appearance on the cotton in our
county, which is, doing greaar damage.
It resembles Rust in wheat, and has
been given that name b/the farmers.—
From the time it first makes its appear-
ance on a plant until it is thoroughly strip-
ped is about four days.- On the firs,t day
small yellow or rusty spots may be seen
on the leaves ; tho next day it is perfect! y
yellow; the next day it is drooping; and
the next entirely stripped of leaves,
blooms, squares and bolls less than half
grown. In riding around the neighbor-
hood, we have seen fields with from a fourth
to a third of the cotton dead. Our farm-
ers account for it by the slacking of the
lirue in the land, caused by the cool heavy
rains coming suddenly after the lomr
drought. It is confined exclusively, so
far, to prairie lands.—Lone Star.
More Barxum Speculations.—Mr.
Barnunrs agent abroad is said, by a Paris
correspondent, to have settled an engage-
ment, for America, with the noted and no-
torious Lola Montes; and that he has
made proposals to M'me de Bocarmc, who
is an excellent player on the piano, to un-
dertake a professional tour as a pianist to
the United States. Though the sum of
money offered by the agent was very tempt-
ing, she is said to have declined, and re-
"rHseiLio exhibit herself.
