Mr. Stephens said the pending bill admit

Strawberries as a Chop. The Newark
Eagle says: As regards the cultivation of the
strawberry but very little is as yet thoroughly
understood. Tho average crop per acre is
froin thirtyto fifty bnshels. Some cultiva
tors have succeeded in gathering one hundred
and even uue hundred and thirty bushels
from an acre. The cost of cultivating the
berries is estiinuted at 20 and $2 the ucre,
with the udditiouul expense of $1 50 per
bushel for picking thorn.
Considering the enormous profit yielded,
the only wonder is lliut our fanners do not
devote more attention to the cultivation of
this fruit, which all agree is one of the great
est luxuries the eurtli utl'ords.

satisfaction that the late Ratification meeting

Tho Gaiette continues to urge the claims
of Major Dewart for Congress, and says ' the
mass of the Democracy will never be satisfied
with any other man." The masses, like indi
viduals, are sometimes, extremely fastidious
in their tastes and if it were not anti-Democratic
to use foreign language, we would
say, de guitibui non difputandum. If the
masses areas well satisfied that the Major
ahull be their man, as he it to make the
sueriGce, what t bappy state of things will
exist !
Louis Napoleon always contended that be
was born for the Empire, and who knows but
the Major was also boru for some purpose
less exulted, -i We shall have to consult

and Congress for bitn, it would certainly be
wicked to strive against the decrees of fate.

During the nullification excitement, nnder
Oen. Jackson's administration, when the old
hero threatened to hang the nullifiers as high
as Hamnn, -Dftnfet 'Webster delivered his
memorable speech in the U , S..- Senate( in
reply to Oen. Ilayne of Sqiit!i.Cnrti!inn,wrio
was, himself a descendant of the gnllunt
Ilayne. who was executed during the Ue'volu
(ion, by tho DritMi Government for his pa
triotism. That speech, pcrlups the ablest nil
recoid, will live as long ns eloquence nrputriot
tom has a votary. Mr. Webster after Having
defended and spoken of the brilliant career of
his own stnte, turned to South Carolina, but
not in a spirit of recrimination. Ho eulo
gized the h'-roi.Jtii ofS.mth Carolin i, and her
sons, nud concluded on that subject, with tho
following i " ' '
'Sir. let mi rcrur to pleasing recol'.ertions
let me indulge in refreshing remembrance
of the jiatt let me remind yo;t that in early
times no States cherished greater harmony,
both of principle nnd feeling, than Massachu
setts nnd South Carolina. Would to God
thut harmony might again return. Shoulder

It is, however hut sheer justice to say thnj
the Southern members have been the agres
sors in this mutter. Many of lliem huve
been iu the hnbit of using the most oppro
bions epithets when speaking of the North,
especially the New England states. Latterly
some of the Northern members have retorted,
not only with considerable acrimony, but with
great nbiliiy, drawing largely on facts and
unpleasant historical recollections. The
South at the period of the Revolution pro
duced u great many brave and patriotic men,
but there is no question that it also contained
ten times as many t ries us any other portion
of the Union. M r. liurlinglmme in his recent
reply to Mr. Keitt, on the Sumner outrage,
took advantage of these facts. The speech'
though abounding will) eloquence und scath
ing .lurcasms, was. no doubt, impolitic iu the
present excited state of affairs. The follow
ing extracts from the speech, will serve to
show its tone and character :
'But I pnss from his logic and his rhetoric
and also over some historical mistakes, much
of the sume nature as those made by the
President, which 1 have already pointed out,
and come to some of his sentences, in which
terrific questions hihI answers exploded, lie
answers hotly and tauntingly that the South
wants none of oar vagabond philanthropy.
Sir, when the pestilence fluttered its yellow
wings over the Southern folates, und when
Massachusetts poureo. imi l,vr -.ou t n n
greater extent in proportion to her popula
tion lliau uny other State, was that vagabond
philanthropy? 1 ask the people of Virginia
and of Louisiana. But, Sir, the gentleman
was most tender and most plaintive when he
described the starved operatives. Why, Sir,
the eloquence was most overwhelming upon
some of my co'leugnes. I thought I saw the
iron face of our Speaker soften a little when
he listened to the unexpected sympathy of
the gentleman with t lie hardships of his
early life. Sir, he. was un operative from boy
hood to manhood, and a good one too. Ah,
Sir, he did nt appreciate us he tasted llie.
sweet bread of honest toil, his real Condition.
He did not think, as he stood iu the music of
the machinery, w hich came from his cunning
hand, how much better it Would lmvo been
hud he been born ashivo Laughter. nnd put
under the gentleman from Smith Carolina, (a
kind master, us I have no doubt he is,) where
he would have been well fed and clothed, anil
would have known none of the trials which
doubtless meet him on every hand. How
happy he would have been if. instead nfieing
a Massachusetts operative, he iiad been u
slave in South Carolina, fattening, singing
and dancing upon the bunks of some river in
that State ureal laughter. Sir. if the gen
tleman will un to my district, and look upon
the operatives uud mccliuiiics if he will
look upon seine of those beuutil'ul models
which come from their brains. und which from
time to time leap upon the waters of the
Atlantic, out flying all other clippers, bring
ing home wulth und victory with all the
winds of heaven, lie might have reusou to
change his views. The gentleman broke out
in an exceedingly explosive question, Some
thing like this : ''Did not the South, equally
with tl e North, barn its forehead to the Coil
of Battles?" 1 answer plainly, No, Sir. she
did not. Slig did not. Sir, Massachusetts
furnished more men in the Revolution than
the whole Smith together, uud more ly ti u
fold than South Carolina. 1 am not inclu
ding, of course, the conjecture. I inililiu t'uiii-
Micd by that state. I here is no plool that
they were ever engaged in any battle. 1 mean
the regulars, und 1 say that Massachusetts
furnished more than ten times us many us
South Carolina. 1 say, on the authority of a
standard hi.-lnriun (once u member of this
House.) Mr. Sabine, in his history of Ihe
Loyalists, that more New England men How
lie 'juried in the soil of South Carolina, than
there were South Carolinians who left their
States to light the battles id' the country. 1
Say, win n the Massachusetts Ccnerul Lincoln,
was deteiiuiug l h.u leMon. lie wus compelled
to give up its detetice because the people of
that city Would not fight. When (jenerul
lireene, thut Rhode Island blacksmith, took
command of the Southern urmy. South Car
olina had not a Federal soldier ill the field.
und the people of that State would not furn
ish supplies to his annv, while the British
urm, ill the State, whs luriiijlied with tup.
phes almost exclusively from the pei pie of
thut Stulii. While the American army could
not bu recruited, the ranks of the British
a. my were rapidly filled from South Caru'iua.
The British post 'DO was garrisoned almost
exclusively from South Carolina, liaudou's
reserve corps wus made up uliuost entirely by
South Cuioliniuus. Of the OU prisoners
who were taken at the battle of King's
Mountain, of which we have heard so much.
700 were Southern Tories. The Maryland
men gained the buttle of Cowpeus ; 'Kcu
tuckiaus, VirginiaiiR und North Curolinians
gained the battle of Kind's Mountain. Pew
South Curoliuiuus foiiuht iu the battles of
Lutuw Springs or Uuilfurd. They were
chiefly fought by men out oi South Ciuolinu,
uud they would have won greuter fume and
greater laurels if they hud not been chieHy
opposed ky the tilii-eiig of the soil. Well
might the iirilifB commander boast thut he
hud reduced South Caioiiuu iniu allegiance!
But, Sir, 1 will not proceed further with ibis
history, out of regard for the fume sf our
common country, out of regard for the putri
ols the Sumpters, the Marions, the Rut
ledges, the Pinekneys, the II ay ilea'. . These

The time occupied in passing a point while
in Montgomery street, was thirty-five min
utes. Its extent would hove been double but
for the exeitinir scenes going oil elsewhere in
the city, nnd alluded to in another p'.uce. All
along the line of March the streets presented
11 perfect living mass of people who hod gath
ered to see the imposing and extensive cor
tege. The ceremonies at the grave were
those usually peformed by the Masonic Order,
of which the deceased was a prominent aud
honored member.
EXECUTION OP CASEY AND CORA.
While the last tokens of respect were be
inir paid to the memory of Mr. King, ut the
Church, a veiy ilillereu proceeding was going
on ut the rooms of the Vigilence Committee.
It had been determined to Post none the txe-
cut ion of these persons until Fridnv. but n
report ot such 11 character ns led the Com
mittee to believe that un attempt to rescue
uiu prisoners wouut lie mutle by un organiza
tion, at the time of the funeral, when they
thought the rooms would only be tmrtiaHv
guarded, gained circulation, and it. was final
ly determined to complete the work, nnd re-
l.evu themselves of their anxiety and suspense
by curving out the judgment which had ul-
ready 1'i eii pronounced.
Notwithstanding the irreut Catherine at
the Itinoral, the rooms of the Committee werp
surrounded by about 20,000 people, who hud
got ,111 intimation of the proposed execution,
ami nurrii'ii in inc. spot. I tie most turunda
hie guard was arranged, which embraced nil
the arms of the Committee, consisting of
about SHOO st.i'j.1 of muskets and two field
iii-cis. 1 he Mrt ets in tho immediate vicini
ty of the rooms were cleared by the soldiprs,
n,..i i.v ti,. i,.tvuni't!i ilmi were display,
i d iu eveiy direction made the scene one of
great solemnity. Ono of the field nieces
were planted so ns to command Davis street
from Sacramento Street, and the other so us
to command Front street. At nbout one o'.
clock, workmen were teen nrei.arinir th
dreaded pillows iu tl. fron ,ftt Onlnniit-
tee room, und this preparation drew together
un immense throng.
1 liu plan to carrv nut the execution ol the
death penalty upou the prisoners wus very
simple, yet convenient. The rooms of the
Committee are in a two story irratnte build
ing and a platform was extended from each
of two front windows of tho second floor, ex
tending about thri.'o leet beyound tho line of
the building and provided with a hinge at the
outer line of the window sill, the extreme end
being held up by means of a cord attached to
the beam, which projected from tho roof of
the iiiiililini.', ami to wliicu the lulal rope was
also attached.
About one o clock the prisoners were
brou r Ut to tho windows, in view of the mul
litiide, dressed In their usual costume, and
mounted the platform, having their arms pin
ioned, i liev liolu appeared to be nun, and
but little ufl'etted by tho dreadful fute that
awaited them. Beforo idacing the rope up
on their necks an opportunity was given them
to speak to the people usseuib.eu wnen la
soy said
'(iciitlemen I hope this will be forever
engraved on vonr nund3 and on your nearts
I um no mindeier, or an assassin. Let not
the community pronounce me to be a mur
derer. Let not the Alta. the otironicie umi
the (ilohc. which papers hove so bitterly de
nounceiime: let them not stigmatize me a

send my name, to the States us a murderer,
for I never did cttrder nor attempt to com
mit murder. l."t do editor dare to slander
my name or memory. Uer.tlemen, I am no
murderer. My faults are because or my ear
ly education Where I belonged I was taught
to light, ami thut to resent my own wrong
w.is my province. 1 f vou see a funeral train
to-morrow let no one d"aro say that there goes
tliu body of u murderer. This 1 have done
Imi 1 am 1111 murderer. tVhen I have depar
ted hence, dure not you or any of you call me
a murderer, nor send my name to the world
as one. 1 have uu aged mother, and let her
not hear me culled a murderer or un assassin.
I have always resented wrong, and 1 have
done it now.
Oh! my poor mother ; my poor mother;
how her heart will bleed at this news. It's
her pain 1 feel now. This will wring her
heart, but she will not believe 1 am a murder
er. But I resented uu injury. My poor
mother. Oh, n:y poor mother, God bless
jou.
Gentlemen, I pardon yon, and hope God
will forgive you, us 1 hope he will forgive me.
Amen ! Oh ! my, my poor mother j Oh God
have mercy upon me. My Jesus take care
of me. Oil God. with accumulated guilt of
28 or 21 yeurs, hava mercy upon me my
poor mother."
At the conclusion of these remarks he
seemed to grow wtuk, and was unable to
stai. d witfc'iut aid. Futher Gallagher wus
by his side us his spirituul adviser, and con
stantly telling him to stop speaking and pray.
He itlso off' n d him the cross, which he kis
sed sever. I times. When the nooee was pla
ced ubout In neck, he was deeply affected
und marly fainted away, and would have fal

perfectly unmoved, aud wben the rope was
j.ut around his neck be was unconcerned at

At twenty uiinotes past one o'clock, every
thing being in readiness to carry out the de
signs of the executioner, tbe kignal was giv

by the priest about thirty minutes before the
execution. Thit was done ut the request of
his spiritual adviser, who would not graht
him absolution until thi ceremony hud been
performed. The woman appeared very indig.
nant, and looked angrily ut the members of
the Committee. She wus reluctant about
going to the rooms, but fimilly conseuted on
receiving a written request from him to do
so.
