The Macon Convention assnnbled on the 22d Out. and was nuermousiy uitended most of the Delegates bein from Goor gin and Alabama. Gen. Hamilton look i bis seat on the second day. The report of ; the final action of the Convention has no! J reached us. ' A committee of 21 was appointed. The following Report frotn the authors of the "Cotton Circular, issued, from NewYork in July last, calling this Convention, was read and submitted to Gen. James Hamilton, S. C.. previous to the Presidents appointing the Committee of 21. ' A Resolution was adopted by th\ meet, tng of Southern Planters and Merdfi tnts, held in the City of New York on the 5th of { July last. Resolved, That Gon. J. Hamilton be authorised by this meeting, to make prelim, inary arrangements with four or five housfs in Liverpool, and with three or four in Hd^ e vret to take the agency of receiving and disposing of such consignments of Co'to ?, r from the South, as may go forward in ac. cosJance wi'h su<d? measures as may bo adopted by a Convention proposed to be held ( in Muoon, Ga., on the <1 b Tuesday in Oc- t tober next.

( To all which houses, I explained fully the measures which had ben sugges:ed by f the rnee ing at N- w York, en the 5th July 1 ?st, for the consideration of this convention, and the duties which it would be expected that they would discharge, under the pro posed agency, that by placing them under s no advance io fact, and merely as the ac~ 1 ceptors of Bills, drawn by or endersed by c i!m3 responsible banks ut the South at long c sight, ir woidd be expected that their att?-nt?on would be directed to the most advanta- f geous sale of the respec.ivo consignments * confided to their carc, and to acting in entire !l concert together in reference, as to the best I' interest o: thosu whose property they might | It will be perceive i tint in submi'ting 'he t above list of Houses, with the understanding j I have had respectively wih them, th it I have discharged that portion of the duty coufi lc\J to me.

'niLPAI LVENLVUl I, JSSS! From the Philadelphia Gazette. DEATH OF GENERAL JACKSON. Tho melancholy intelligence reached the i'y thi i morning, in letters from Louisville, f the decease of E.x-Pr< sident Jackson. rhe information was sent hastily to a res ectnblc mercantile house in Church alley, rom a partner in that city, nr.d comes in uoh a direct mode and form, as to leave no easonablo dojht of is authenticity. Agricultural Convention.?On our first age will be found an article, from the Southrn Agriculturist, in reply to tho question 1 What ought th3 Agricultural, uonventiou 10 o!" In addition to the objects there recora- 1 fiended, we would take the liberty of sugges- 1 ing ithai measures ought to bo adopted by 1 he Convention for establishing in Columbia * monthly periodical, on the plan of the Alba- ' y Cultivator, or the Monihly Gennesce Far- ' ier, the coat of which should not exceed one ' ollar per annum. At this price it would ub- < ain an extensive circulation, and speedily ex- 1 rt an incalculable influence for good upon the rosperity of the state. The income from the | ubscription list of such a periodical might noti jr the first year or two, be sufficient to support n editor, in addition to defraying the expense f publication. It might therefore be neces j,ry at first to obtain funds from some other ourcefor that purpose. And from what 6ource ould they be oYawn more appropriately than rom the st;tte treasury ? A proposition in ither branch of the legislature to in ike an ppropriation for such a purpose would doubt, ess, meet with strong opposition at first, on iccount merely of its novelty. But to what ibject after meeting the expenses neces:ary to keep the wheels of government in rcgilar motion, could the 6arac amount of the pubic money be so beneficially appropriated ? The tenefit to the state would be ten fold greater ban that derived from the free school system ?if system it can be called?as now adminis ered, whilst the expense would not bo one ten h as great. But politicians, who rule in both our state aod national governments, have been so little aecustomed to expend the pubr lie treasure for the direct benefit of the Agricultural interest, from tbe taxation of which much the greater part of it is derived, that they seem to consider this interest as having no just claim to any such participation in the benefits accruing from it. It is time Iiowev B?? ?? er that the farmers should teach them better, or supply their places with men who know bet'er. The Southern Agriculturist is now exerting 1 a most beneficial influence where it circulates ; and if it were practicable to get it into gener- . a! circulation among our planters and farmers, no other periodical devoted to agriculture , would be necessary in the state ; but this can- , not be done, on account ot the price. Experience in this country abundently prove* the difficulty of procuring a large number of sub- ? scribers for costly peri d eals, and the facility f of doing so for those that are lowpriced when ) well conducted. While the Agricultural pe- i riodicals whose price is five dollars per annum, however ably couducted, have a continual struggle to keep their heads above water, the | Albany Cultivate), which was fir.-t published at 25 cents, afterwards at 50 cents, and latter- s ly at a dollar, has had its subscription list swel- fi led to more than 20,000 names; and the 1 it .t ? n n 1M mon'Miy ijenneBsec? rarnitr, puuimiru in uiu same state at 50 cents, ha? a list of 17 thou>and. The Weekly Gennessee Farmer, pub? ished in the same office with the Monthly, and inducted by the same edi'or but costing $3 i year, instead of keeping pace with the Monthly is loosing ground, and that so mucb ^cio8e^f^ie^resenr,year*,M,--? An arrangement could probably be with the proprietor and editor of the Southern \grir ulturist to remove that periodical to Coumbia, and change it into such a one as is lere proposed. I f they should consent to such arrangement, and the preasai t editor should igree still to conduct the publication in its lew form, the only difficulty in the way would ie that of securing adequate compensation to lira for a short time. This the Convention roust endeavor to provide for either through the Legislature, or in some other way- If it shou d lot suit the present editor to fall in with such an arrangement, there are doubtless others in the state of suitable qualifications whose services could be secured. Of those who now iccur to us to whom we should deem it worth while to make application we shall name only Col. F. H. Elmore, late Representative in Con-1 rress from the Columbia district. He is at this Lime a candidate for the Presidency of the Bank of the State; whico office he is well qualified to fill. But it is much easier to find nen qualified for the Presidency of the Bank, mportant as that office is, than for conducting in agricultural periodical, as such a penodi. ;al ought to be conducted. For the latter )ffice Col. Elmore's sound judgement and pracical good 6cnse, his concise clear style of wri,ing, his general intelligence, and his extensive jopularity qualify r.ira so well that the Contention and Legislature ought to consider it in object to hold forth inducements to him to ic.cept it in preference to the Preeidency of the Bank. - -annumi 'lung iv iitLii Tire Convention ought o a6k the Legislature to do, is to procure lor [ s ho college library a few copies of all valuable vorks in the E.iglish Language on subjects ionnected with agriculture and managing live c itock. To these books the editor of the paper 1 night to have free access with the privilege 1 ?f using them #in the printing office to copy ' Trom. Although the appointment of an Agricultu- t al and Geological Surveyor,or Surveyors ought * >y all ra?ans to be insisted upon, yet it will 1 eauirc vears to obtain in this wav full reoorts. 1 loerr s&Tirtgm lit m picpircH, truth fli parts Ot he state. In the mean time valuable statistical ^ nformation might be obtained through the Tax Collectors. "Each Tax Collector might , je required to keep a book for this purpose somewhat on the plan of his book for the list 1 >f taxable property, in wh>ch he should enter ? :he number of acres planted by each cultivaor of the soil, in corn, cotton, wheat oats, rurmps, potatoes, or ass, &c. with the average production, number of laborers employ- >d, kind ofland planted &c. &c. These materi- r lis might be very profitably used by the edi- . or of the Columbia Agricultural paper in die* { sussing the relative condition of agriculture in South Carolina and other places. We close these desultory suggestions by nerely alluding to the anomaly of an agricul- ( tural community first electing members to represent them in a legislative assembly, and then sending up a new set of delegates to enlighten and instruct these representatives in ;he discharge of their official duties. It is not 1 inlike employing a physician and then hiring ^ mother person to direct him in the perform- b incc of his duties. t T'lio Aeiranrromcnl /if the CUrrCHCV. the * *"V ,,, - " - V , scarcity of money and the Stress in the * mercantile community was perhaps never ' greater in this country than nt the presen; s time. From 3 to 5 per cent p? r mon'h ore ' paid in New York for money. The par. t lial suspension makes the dis ress much 11 greater than it*the suspension were gener.il. ? For it makes the premium on etc hange much higher in favor of New York, the great creditor, than it would otherwise be, r particularly at the south/o west. It is believ- f ed that the failures in New York w.ll be beyond all precedent, unless the banks afford more accommoda'iou, which they cannot do unless they suspend; and this they i seem determined not to do. 1 j We have another lot of Twin Cotton seed left with us forsa'e, with a sample of the j cotton.

He remarked that it would be j unnecessary to recite the objects of the | miss on, ns these had been distinctly set fortli at the farewell meeting, and in the columns of our public journals. But he wished now to express his entire confidence in iIkj devoted ban i whom we were ajx>ut to dismiss on a long and hazardous voyage. It was indeed a hazardous en?erprize which they had undertaken, but not an untried experiment. A thousand witnesses were ready to attest the success of missions. That of Oregon in particular seemed to be ihe child of a special providence. The first missionary to that field was sent in answer to a cull from several native chiefsand now thousands of the Bbro8'l*Jw yond the Ro'ky Mountains' w?rej?nl eJc. out their hands to welcome the^r |)?lhion.

He believed that Providence would bear them safely through the perils ofthe deep, and by no means would I the enterprize fail; for, should they find their bed in ihe ocean a voice would cowe from its lowest depths with irresistible power to the heart of the church for other* to take ihe places of the perished. The secretary of the American Board, Rev. Dr. Anderson. whose presence gave very sensible pleasure to the whole company, also made some appropriate remarks. Ho was gratified to know that this missionary ship would touch at the Sandwich Islands, and he should have furnished iettersof introduction to the missionaries of the American Board at that station ; but there was in the company one (the Rev. Mr. Dibble) who might be regarded as a living epistle, and who would take pleasure in commending them to the affectionate esteem and hospitalities of his fellow-laborers."
