The following statement has been furnished to us by a gentleman from Georgia, who ar med in this city from that State yesterday, and who was compelled to leave, there by a vig ilance committee,; “Those who have had friends residing in the seceded States will, on reading the following communication, be enabled to form an opinion of the fiery ordeal through which all Northern ers, residing in the South, are passing at pres ent. •' Ko language-can portray the intensity and bitterness of the ihalo with which every person and thing is regarded in the seceded? South, where any affiliation with the North, By bu.-i -ncss sympathy or family ties, is in any degree suspected. “ Few men live either North or South who have personally -participated less in the recent political strife than the writer. Yet, as the reader will see, Southern vengeance has.fallen upon him hotly ahd heavily. “By birth, an. Irishman; but for thirteen years a resident of the United Slates, I have resided in Middle Georgia eight, “ By professioti a physician, I soon succeeded in acquiring a largo and lucrative practice, and found, in the duties of my profession, and the care of a young and interesting fhmil'y, ample and congenial 'employment of -time and tal ents; hence I never eared for politics—never went to an election. roseeuting in behalf of jy person or persons, ore attending, and not to ire requested to be ppne • appointed time, agree- “ Quiet and retiring as I have been, I yet had the misfortune of having committed the dark, damning crime of treason against the high sovereignty bf the Confederate States. “ Yes, reader, lj had the good luck of taking with me to Georgia as-wife a native of New York, i il at the Sheriff's Office, of August, in the year sight hundred and sixty I.

How should you feel ini leaving your prattling, inno cent.children, tbejoffspring of an affection tlntti vyhich nothing truer, deeper, holier, ever bound man to woman ? I “ And yet, reader, I am penning these lines as a persecuted outcast in Philadelphia to-day, while wife and children, to ease whose lightest ppng 1 would saicrifice a thousand lives, are away, away down in Georgia, in the hands of their and my foesf the true wife, and weeping mother, frying to-|mako the anxious little ones believe that papa* will come back again. “Of course ydu imagine that I must have committed some (enormous crime. Yes, I had the misfortune to|hava made, in the latter part of last March, a trip to New York to see a ,father-in-law, reported dying. - • “Secession wap then rampant in' Georgia, and my trip fjortfi awakened suspicion. I no ticed that fact, aqd though; of course anxious to hear from an invalid parent, I forbore wri ting any more to-the North. This was to my self and-wife a great sacrifice. Neither myself nor wife knows as yet whether her father is dead or living. ( “ It is true that,-owning propertyln the Sooth to the amount of §4,000, I expressed myself iri private conversations opposed to the seces siion of the Southern States, feeling that such a course would be directly ruinous to those States, albd indirectly so to all owners of .property there residing. My Opinions were expressed openly, but inoffensively.! I did not even go the,length. of attending the-election to vote against the Secession candidates. It is true that I refused tq act as surgeon to a Georgia regiment com-. irig to Virginia, and that I declined becoming cdptain of a company organized for the same, destination. I based my refusal upon two grounds: a large and young family unprotect-, cd, nnd the fact that t had once fought (in Mexico) under the Stars and Stripes, and being ,therefore unwilling to serve .under any flag raised against the old banner. “ Such was the sum total of my offence, and grievously have I answered for it. Some six weeks ago, in looking over the local newspaper,; 1 noticed that a number of planters in the coon-; ty in which I resided bad formed what they des ignated a vigilance-committee; they should have styled it a persecuting club: Oh, the Fri day before-the second Monday in July, a neigh bor of mine, a .personal enemy, called ot my | Adminibtratorg, ICENSE.—The fol- 3 ffeir petitions in the Tioga County for Li in their respective town applications will be had in the afternoon of jSeptcmbcr Court, next, A DIVORCE.—To kre hereby notified that' | applied to the court of ily, for a divorce from hat the said Court have of September, next, ; the said Ursula Can time and place you can «.

Washington, July 15, 1831, W, W, Curtis, house and Intimated that I was required to ap pear before the vigilance committee, at our coun ty town, oft. the following Monday, alleging, verbally', that witnesses would nppear there to prove that I favored the North in the present contest. ■ , ‘‘To refuse to appear would lead to a mobbing of my hdnse, and perhaps to the destruction of niy helpless little family. Conciousof no clime, I proceeded alone, but well armed with revol vers, to the place designated. The committee met at the County Court House, and thither without friend or lawjtr to aid, with no knowl edge of the charge against me, or the witnesses to prove it, did I have logo. I presume that every Northern man that has terpass through a similar ordeal will regard' bisi self-constituted judges;with the same.feelihgs that I did. One half, perhaps, are men who in ordinary times are upright citizens, but who have been inocu lated withfthe spirit of violent hate to every thing connected with the North, now pervading all the Confederate States. “The remaining half will conslstof personal enemies, and vicious, prejudiced scoundrels; who would delight in hanging every soul that ever breathed Northern air. “Notwithstanding the testimony of q per jured, drutiltcn wretch, whom I rescued, many times from death, by deliiinrn tremens, tolwhgsq family I ministered medically" for years gratui t< inly, and wiro swore positively that I bad based my refusal to become captain of a com pany (an office tendered to on the worth lessness of its members and their inability to meet Northern troop? —this evidence, not withstanding, I was for the time acquitted of the charge of treason. ■ “Not until Saturday, the 20th, did I expect any further annoyance. On that day a respec table old gentleman, uftder pretence of getting medicine, catno to my residence, and with tears in r his eyes, informed me that some four of those who voted for my acquittal were really up on tfiy ruirr; that they bad succeeded in adding to the vigilance committee enough of personal enemies of mine- to insure my destruction at the next meeting. The old gentleman was a devoted friend of mine, and exclaimed, ‘They «ill certainly murder you, doctor,' hut when the day comes 1 will die 1 with you.’ ;■ ! “Header, what was I, to do ? fl have said be fore, God had blessed me with a wife more precious than rubies. (It brings ! the tears.to think of her.) Of course, I a?ked her counsel. My resolution was partly taken, to stand my groundj and, to use a trite phnse. sell my Jife as dearly as possible; hut, by her advice I thought better. Husband, said she, IT you stay I will die at your side, hut recollept our butch ers will not be.so merciful as to, kill our little ones; they wjll seize their property, educate them aspaupers-, anjl (ell them when thcy'grow up, that their ‘parents’ were hung as traitors. “I saw the prudence of the heroic, self-sacri ficing mother, and after dark on Saturday eve ning, the 20th, after imprinting a;fond kiss on the cheeks of my sleeping little ones, she and I walked out, that the leave-taking pf love, with ■its’sobbing sorrow, might not disclose -to serv ants that a separation was about to take place. “It may not.be out of place hero to remark that the writer has the best reason to know that the North Ims entirely nnderrated the strength of the South in Virginia. i , “All the'fighting material of the Confederate States, is now oi ncentrated within a hundred miles of Washington'city. “The companies at pre ent being raised in the South, 'Ckn neither bo armed dor equipped, and they are, besides, chiefly composed' of the poorer white .people, w,ho. have no object, and loss inclination to fight against the Union. , “The war is really carried on by the largs slave-owning planters, and they have thrown life and all into the conflict. J i “In those districts—fur example, Northern Georgia—where the large slaveholders arejin n minority, there are thousands of avowed Union men ; whereas, in Middle an,d Southern Geor gia-, the niouth that utters tlnion is sealed in death. Every soul in the South which has any ‘connexions in the Northlis regarded with the utmost suspicion, and it as with difficulty the t the more moderate planters can restrain the fur y of their confederates, and check the wholesale slaughter of theij fellow-citizens born North. “Nothingbut the most Belf-sacrifioing appear ance of devotion to the cause of Secession can moderate ibis antipathy, and all those, like the writer, who cannot assume this supra-Smifhern zeal, have nothing to hope hut death and ruin. “As my family is-still within the clutches of the tigers, I deem it imprudent to (append my name. . . i Persecuted!.” All Sor.'is Of oak tree lives in a state of nature one thousand five hundred years, Hour -glassed were invented at' Alexandria one hundred an'd’BflV V'eahS before Christ. ’ The sum of fifteen million dollars is expend ed each year in London for intoxicating liquors, Vaccination was first tried upon condemned criminals in the year 1f22. ! i The- interest of the national debt of Greal Britain is over twenty-four millions ptiund sterling. j Looking glasses were first mads at Venice in the year 1300. . : Iron was first discovered by" (he burning Mount Ida, one thousand four hundred j(ears before Christ.

The selection of g suitable soil; is indispen sably necessary to a healthy, vigorous growth of all kinds of farm produce, hut more partic ularly so is this the case in the cultivation lof small fruits. You shoiljd hy all tpejtns, avofda low, wet piece of ground'—for though the bffgjht sijnimny shine upon it, and though you may heap' the richest manure ppop its surface, it wifi always be unsuitable for horticultural pur poses. Thorough under-draining may ini a small degree help it, but no trees, or fruits, wil| ever attain that healthy growth, and victor; that is necessary to the fiijl development of fair and wholesome fruit. A light, mellow, turfy loam, neither very sandy, nor yet'of a stiff clayey teituro, is the quality most desirable for fruit culture. ■ , Having selected a suitable soil, and properly fenced the same, wo will proceed to its prepa ration. A thorough coat of well rotted b’arp yard manure should he applied evenly over the surface, and ploughed under. The ploughing should be dime by commencing in the center of the piece and continue by turning the furrows towards thh center, until the whole is comple ted. if the piece selected is sod, plant and grow potatoes upon it the first- season, and in the fall after the crop is harvested, give the land another good coating of manure, plough ing it under in the same manner, but directly opposite, or cross ways of yonf first ploughing. This will thoroughly break tip and pulverise the rotted sod beneath, and fully incorporate it with the manure previously applied, and soil, leaving it in good condition for operations in the spring. If your soil selected is under cul tivation, spading is much preferable to plough ing. After the grqund is laid out and your trees and bushes planted in their respective places, the plough must be entirely thrown aside, and the necessary labor of cultivation performed by the spado and hoe. More injury has been done to gardens of this character hy the introduction of the plough in its cultivation, than all the in? sect tribe combincj). The internal arrangement of the ground, should be tasteful, with a due, consideration to the locality and habits of the fruits you wish to cultivate. The quite common plan in most good gardens is substantially this “Lay off a border; from fupr tp six feet wide, all -around the oiiter side of the plot. Devote this principally to vines and low shrubs. Ou the north side, plant grapes that they may have the full benefit of the sun. On the west, sot raspberries and black berries. On the oast put quinces. On the south put Currants and gooseberries of the va rious kinds, which being of low growth, will not materially shade the garden. A walk in front of this whole,border, may he from two to five feet wide, according to the size of the plot. The interior portion should he laid out in such a manner as shall best suit the taste, and plan ted to strawberries, flowing shrubs and plants. Dwarf apple, cherry, pear npd plum, with nec tarine apricots, filberts, and a small variety of j vegetables. The selection ahd transplantingof j fiuits, is of the utmost importance, as Regards ' their future vigor and productiveness. Great care should be observed in takiqg up trees, not to injure the roots, in which, respect I am sorry to say that our nurserymen isltow to little re gard, generally leaving that portion of their business to the care of careless, irresponsible men in their employ, who scarcely know, and i least of all care, Whether the trees survive : their rt ugh usage after they pftss from thfiir hands, or not. Trees thus bruised and j 'prived of their roots, slunild at once be rejected by tire purchaser, ns they will never pay for the care and attention necessary to make them live, and never will make strong lienlthy trees, generally doling out a sickly existence of from one to five years, tp your disappointment and vexation.— Time and money will be saved in every instance to notify the dealer immediately on the receipt of such orders, that you wfill not receive them. A surer way- of procuring good, heallhy Stock, is to go to the nursery yourself, rnako your own selections, and-oversee thd faking of them np, and the packing of thorn for home carriage.— If roots should ,he unavoidably injured or bruised, cut them off above the injury by an oblique cut from the underside, outward. From the point and gdges of such cut, small fihrmls roots will start'the first season, in-a fork years, will overcome the shock of such amputa tion. For the benefit of those unacquainted with the different varieties of, hardy dwarf, and other fruits, I will giyea short (isf which may ip sopie degree aid the amateur in making a proper se lection. In doing so, I Have avoided'all .those varieties that are denominated half hardy, and selected those only that will provff equal to the climate of northern Pennsylvania.

For tie Agitator. ME. STEPHENS ON, THE MAE YEANS A bill being before Congress for the.payment of the Police of Baltimore, called into service by the Government after tlie arrest find impris onment of Marshal Kane and the Police Board, Mr. Burnett, the ,traitor member-from Ken tucky, denounced the action of the Government in severe language. TVe gite Mr. Stephens’ remarks in reply. 1 They are characteristic and deservedly severe: - Mr Stevens.—l whs explaining this bill and stating that it was to pay the police, of Balti more, the. establishment of which police has been denounced by the gentleman from Kett tucky. Sir, I. expected him to denounce it, and I have no objection to his doing so. Every malefactor, every criminal, is entitled to an ad l vocate, and just such an advocate as has a taste for that business, or whom he’may induce-. to undertake’ his defence. , Now, air, here is a police instituted—what for ? The chief of police was a traitor, and if I am rightly informed, is' so presented by the grnrid.jury of the city,? The police board, act ing with him, have been also arrested, and are about being prosecutld for-the same offence.— They were found silrhmnded by arms, hidden, buried, and ready to be used against their fel iow-citizens who were loyal to this Government; They were plotting treason, and had-acted a large part of it. But; says the gentleman, tfajd State was not appealed to remove them. Sir, every one knows that the Legislature of the State of Maryland is of traitors— a rebel Legislature. Its members are deeply imbued with the Very'principles that have cre ated this tefHble war, which.ig ponrihg fbrtli the blood of this nation so copiously. Does the gentleman stand up here in the face of the na tion and cnmplaih that millitary lay. has been proclaimed and enforced in the midst of a nest of traitors, and in a State' whose organization, with the exception of Jts chief ma|istrato, is made pp of traitors ? "Would be jet loose these same anen to re-enact and enlarge the scenes tjlat were enacted when our troopswere coming to this Capital at the call of the National Exe : entire? Mr. Burnett.^—l wish to answer the gentla man’s-question. Mr. Stevens.—The gentleman has already an swered ihe question before I asked it; Mr. Burnett.—No, sir; I want to answer It categorically. * ‘ ■ Mr! Stevens.—l do not yield. I say, sir, that they in this Hquseivjrho feel that the Qovorri ment of 1 the; tin i ten States are wrong in first es tablishing a police inihe midst of these rebels; in producibg.order out of confusion and insur rection, ought to vote against this bill; but no man who believes, thdt the litres Stour citizens are properly under the guardianship of the Gov ernment of the United States, and that the "trai tors and rebels ought to bs punisbed for such rebellion and treason; will vote against this bilj, No man can be found in this House br country; unless he comes within the description 1 have mentioned, who wilTventure to suggest an ob jection to. this bill., Siiyjt call • the previous question.

Bwirks, a iyonng “limb of the law,” froth a neighboring* town; who happened to be present, remarked: ' ! “ So. you are going to. cast your maiden vote) for Sdhool Directors ?” The young mnn of large body and small head looked puzzhtd for a moment, then a thunder 1 storm - seemed gathering -bn his countenance which grew blacker and fiercer and striding to 1 wards Smirks-, with clenched fists, atid, choking fwUh rajje, he exclaimed • - J ; “I’ll larn ye I’m no.jnore of ag|ri than yoiir self, if you are a stuck-up lawyer.” Smirks retreated aTew steps tu gain time for an etpla inatiun. which, however) only half Satisfied the bellicose “ voter,” who walked away, mutter l ing something threatening against ‘ these fellerj What think they know solmueb.” Fit for a Jawt-Eil.—An Sid lady walked in jto a lawyer’s office lately, when the following : ContdtSation took place: Lady:— -Squire, I called to see if "yon would like to take this boyand make a lawyer of him.
