motto, nn<l nrc following it in practice. They hare ei
low n fair field for attracting it valuable corps ot

lage in the times. Tlie relluxof political seiitimenl n

MISS I'll ERE PAINE.
Wr learn with sincere rcgri t that, important hu- j p,
a'ness req iiing tho attention of Miss Paine, she i 01
will lay aside the dutkn of her profession in the j9
Spartanburg Female College for the ensuing year, n
The past year has been one of deep nfllictiou and |
bereavement to Mis* 1 aim-, and ilns community ni
Idle deeply aympnthiaed with lur; but she has gone . ''
.... , ' nl
t>n to (he close<>r the year witli lite* duties of her pro* j ^
torsional chair, without asking u day's rest for tbc 0|
indulgence ol her grief, llcr ent ity nud enthusiastic
drvot'oii to the interests of educati?-.n liave p]
been felt mill appreciated in every part of our ai
Union. Her power of ((wakening and developing r,
mind, directing its moral |?ower, tunning habits of y,
thought and action, are unrivalled. Her pupils, t,
tilling high |tosi(iona in social life,as wives, mothers tl
and lenchcts, are scattered from Maine to (.'alitor, in
ttia, and in heart and vnico "rise up and call her n
Uesfcd." Years ago Miss l'aine established and
built up the "Spartanburg Ki male Seminary," and
there is scarce u family in this community but feels jv
she has brought a blessing to it, in the person of an nl
educated wife, daughter or mother. May the good CI
she has dune, and is continually doing in the cause (|
of education and religion, be returned to her a thou- ni
and fold. tl
We trust that neither private business, nor her j?
recent afllelion, will long detain her (tom the du- u.
ties of her mission. The children of her intelleelu- jtl
nl daughters arc yet to be educated, and require (|
. ' the teachings of her vigorous mind and heart en- ?
richcd by Constant study and long experience. |i;

" . Ol
Mr. Seaborn, in this issue, nnnouneis his readiness
to sell the establishment, chietly in eonsi-quence of j _
the death of his publisher; but the work is not to be j
abandoned if not sold. The Farmer and I'lanter is 1 ^
lh? organ of the State Agricultural Society,and the j
only ngricuhural paper in the State. We think the w
sale improbable, because few men will give to such ^
publication the patient attention bestowed by the n
present proprietor,'and no man call conduct it more <
economically or practically?and it is by no menus I j

vaa written in experlatioii of this result; therefore pr
ve nre not taken liy surprise. During the first an
lays of the session the frieiitla of Col. Chvsnut were wi

The Charleston Mercury, in a moment ofeuihu- to
iasin, hailed his election as a ti iuinph to its side in prt
oliiies, mid the result of caucus nomination, follow- hit
1 by correction of the latter shortly after?(per- tin
aps remembering too la to its opposition to such N"
orrtipt tipplianees of party.) It said: let!

TUB BAKES?USURY LAWS. p
Theee twp subject* occupy much attcution in the U
giatatorc. As to the first, we hope that body will th
rmioatu all bank ch.irtcrs as speedily na possi- ui
, except the Hank of the State, or extend the d?
jht of isstiv exclusively to the latter, limiting the cr
Ivilcg< a of tire private batiks to dlscouut, exchange, co
d deposit. We question whvtlier the Legislature tli
It do more at this session than remit the five per ah
nt. forfeiture for suspension and lix a period for ec
luinptioii? in other words, legalise suspension. ba
iould the latter be done, we reiterate our former sh
Ingestion, that tin injunction issue from the Lcgis- is
Uf<, rcstruliiitig sheriff* front levy nud sale with, th
the same period. There ia no justice in allowt
the banka to take advantage ol their own wrong,
fatten their already bloated carcases upon the dei-eiutcd
pTop rly of unfortunate debton. Thia ,n
ter class, however, have few friends to plead for

In forfeiture of charter, it is not only pioposcd
relievj thvm front the penalty of the act of 1640
d extend the period of suspension six to twelve
nths, bal n? further relief, to repeal the usury
rs, to give them r?i fe blunrhe in their struggle ""
profits. Under their present privileges?or their
use, without lestru nt by thu Legislature?they
a not only issue bills as 7 to 1 ol specie, but they "j
? the bulk of their capital out of the Slate, in buy- ^ '
r up the immature note* ol nicrchauls at large
count, and press homo creditors for collection. '
lis is called domestic exchange! dudge O'Nciill
is not a whit too severe in calling the b.-nks
ivins *Imi|?. They merit the term, and the exc- **
illitn due to low mid mean money-getting.
We have scanned the argtinn nts in furor of a real
of the laws against usarv, and most coufos to
unsatisfied judgment as to "their cogency. It i? "J1
d that the moral question is explode!?that ' '
incy is merchandise?and that a relaxation olthc
trninU against u?ury would withdraw invest- "
ruts from stocks, and bo used by ownois in pri- w
to loans. To the first we answer, that the law
Moses?which was the law of God?interdicted j
2 exaction of interest, and the pain* of ?. Utility ,
re denounced rgaiuat the usurer. That law is
repeoled?nnd the cxccutiou of the sentence is as 111
i tain now us five thousand years ago. The morals
financici ing are exemplified in ii hardy braving *
this iwnalty. The present financial condition of . '
r land is aluioet f-irctold by Isaiah: "as with the 1
ter of usury, so with the giver of usury to him? j
io mm fkiiaii i>c uucny rrnjn i-.i ami uueriy
?iled: (>>r the Lord liuth spoken the word." I ''
id notwithstanding a falsemorality may deny tliat
iding in money is usury, ami attempt to purge j '*
vlf of the charge, and say apologetically ,ll liflvo '
illier lent on u?urv, nor men linve lent to me on
. . IS
ury," yet in bitterness ?.>f spirit tnoy will yet con*,
"every one of them doth curtc mo." Men , ^
n>t ignore the moral qutstiou ere they tike usury, :
n when legalred by human enactments.
Is money merchandise? Hbekstone, whose pro- j
nlity stands unrivalled, if not uunpproitcltcd, ns an
inentary law writer, says:
"Commutation of goods is cxehnnue. Transring
goods for money is a ale. Money is there's
n medium of fixed value, which ?n;iy be ex- p?
inged for nil sort* of nrticb s. If g<?*l? were only ye
bo exchanged for i?"<?l*, by way of barter, it |
iuld be difficult to adjust values, nud transports- i 'K
n would l?o cumbersome."
Money, therefore, in legal definition, i? not hitondise,
nor can the calling it so make it so, any
ir< than calling a sheep's tail a leg can make it nt:c. ^
jney ha* a fixed value, to which all things mtr- w
autablemust conform. It m*y he more useful at ^
c time than at other*, but this docs not nfUct its ',k
siiive value ?it only shows the necessities of men.
Hut the third argument: That a relaxation of the '
jry laws will withdraw investments from banks, 'J
d leave money in the humls of capitalists for prl- c<
te loans. The Comptroller General has shew n '
it thy Hank of Hamburg, for the s?x monthsend- ?
t 30th September, could have declared a diri- f':
nd at tbo rate of GIJ per cent, per annum! ?f
rhaps tio other batik in the State has been equal- I"
fortunate in making so large profits, llut sup- of
ing Hint end) made half Hint nmotv.it, would any | t
>itali?t, seeking profitable investment, withdraw j ly
funds from such valuable stock? Wo think not. | bt
r no private* capitalist eould possibly so manage ( c'
money as to roaliteovcr 30 per cent, per annum 1 '1'
ih Certainty, year after year. And this, at least to |
r in.ml, dispose* ?,f the argument founded upon this ">

II not yield to the importunity of captal to throw- 1'

baa kept down the taxes, advanced large loan* to

with its planter and other crcJitors to ilauwn

impelled to suspend tho payment of sj?vt:ic ut Its

one can it be antd, that it honestly and faithfully

- SYSTEM OF "REGISTRATION,
The Registrar of Hirthv, Deaths, and Marriages
South Carolina?R. \V. (Jibbcs, jr., M. 1).?
is sent ns a copy of his report to tho Legislature
id .T tho amended net of I83fi. The returns are
no means exact, though to some extent satinliery,
ns showing their iin|K?rtance, and In-raking
>\vn the prejudice of tax-payers to answering the
rjuirirs made, aud overcoming the inattention <>f
e'Tax Collectors in their prosecution. Further
iiendment is tneessary to the pel lection of tho
stent, and the subject in commended to the Legal
uro. It is only by perseverance that measures
th s character can he succonfully established,
lie advantages are not apparent to the public
hid. Many pel sunn?indeed the vast majority?
nnot see what good can result troin the culler ii
<>l sueli a tn.dy of dry statistics. '1 hey me not,
rliaps, of e<jual ndvanlngc to nil men. l?ut to
ienco they have a peeulinr value. !n l'nglaud
id many the Stales of our L'nion vital statistics
e collected ? ill ismsiderubic care and diligence,
cause oil bucIi daia are bnvd the rat'-n of tile asranee-?and
llie more nceurste llio knowledge,
e more |>oifcet Iweotnc the calculations of preiuina.
It in highly satisfactory to know the ra>
of billis to deaths?both in the negro and
bite race; also, what diseases are incident to par ulnr
localities?at what periods ol life deaths arc
ont frnpn nt? and tho mouth* of the vonr most ,
tal to Idi?all such fact* nre evolved by this ry? j
m, and we hope the Legislature will jn-rssvero i
itil perfection is attained in the ii turns.
The report of thp Registrar has been prepared
th considerable labor, uud forms a pamphlet of
jhty-five pages.
According to tho returns to the Registrar, the
itnltvr uf births of whites and free negroes is I,II;
of slaves 1 d,41111?-In ng, for ti e former, 1 in 01;
in tho kilter 1 in -C.f>3. It is not a I tile singular
at tlio great of I number of births occurred in .Sepmbcr
and 1 )rccmb< r, and llic fewest in January
id Septonilwr. 1 tenths?wlrtcsnnd free negroes
I S3; slaves 7fG"-7?pmpprt'nn of the former 1 in
19.32; in the latter 1 in 5i.7f>?in both 1 in G^.10*
lie white marriages returned are only 1,013?or
in 171 17, which i? far below the actual number,
any marriages in this State arc solemn :scd by
agist rates, oud the legislature should m ike it
ligntorjr upon these ciflicers to keep n record of
cm. This is now done hut rarely, and therefore
e moral aspect of our society in misrepresented.
Of the tlralh* at known ager, there were ?.M Vh
r cent, under 1 year, and 23.02 from I to .rt
are; making the enormous |?ri)porlion i f -17 1
r cent., or nearly half the mortnhiy under 3 years.
Tlie order of mortality, beginnin* with tho ni -t
lal mouth.m as follows; August,Seplemln r, July,
etobe^. June, December, Novcpibcr, March, May,

ith the result of the Kentucky returns, embracing j
1,H31 th-nlbs, which occurred in four years. In re ]

by the troops el Alvarez, and neither ago

, Mexico is in that slate of disorganization tvhieli
r threatens the dismemberment o? that country. IF
she hud been surrounded by mub.iious in iff!il"?re,
as Poland was in a nearly similar condition, such
a would b:nre been her lute hclore tins, That she
t i will yet fall within the iullueiice of tliat pi inc.pie of
| "manifest destiny" which i? cx|>e-'tcJ to extend over
^ this heinikpltere is Hie constant prediction of Kuro,i
J pcun politicians. This, however, is not so certain
h , while the Uniou contiuuee, for there are anti-gonistio
influences at work to prevent Southern iequ.ai^
j lions to the American Confederacy, in the pro"v
' slavery and anti-slavery struggle to acquire and (ire!
vent an increase of lexriimi.il power. The greater
^ |>rol>ability m that Mexico will undergo dismcuibcri
im nt trom internal distentions rather than troinex1
".crnai interference, except by separate bonds- of lilhj
busters. A number of distinct States warring pcr,
pctuaPy against eaclt other is likely lo be 'he rifolt
of the present distracted condition of Mexico.
