We have been requested byWsome ofourWhig leaders, to publish crtain long articles which they have selected. It will be out of our power. to complv. We have at ditlrent times, exclu ded from our columns, on account of their length, Democratic articles. which we were re. quested to publish, by gentlemen of the highest standing in our party. We did not even assign to our friends, our reasons for so doing, as we were satisfied, that they would not attribute our conduct to a want of respect for them, or to any abatement of zeal in the Democratic cause. In a small weekly paper, such as ours, it is im possible to publish all the political articles; which ohr readers may desire. We must ex clude many, in order to give general inteligence. We will publish cheerfully, any original Whig or Democratic article, provided it is decorous in language, But we are necessarily compelled to make our own selections. From this rule we will seldom depart. We have received the first number of the Southern Chronicle.. This is a Whig Jour nal, and is published by Messrs. Weir & Rai ford, at Columbia, South Carolina. It is a large sheet, and the mechanical execution is neat. An unknown friend has sent us. a pamphlet entitled, "The Medical Department of Pennsyl vania College at Philadelphia. Annual an nouncement of lectures for the year 1840-1, with acatalogue of the gradnates of theCollege." From the pamphle't before its, it appears, that this is a new Medical Institution. Its past ses ion 1839-40, commenced and ended under the most flattering auspices. Gentlemen emi nent in the profession, compose the FacultLy. The degree of Doctor of Medicine was con ferred on twenty-five gentlemen, at the Com. mencement ins March last. Two of these, - lessrs Harvey L. Byrd, and Win. Parham, were of South Carolina. THE DzoCRTIc PRESS oF SOUTH CAROL. ZI.-We copy the subjoined extract from the inaugural of the Southern Chronicle: "The opposition in this State have had the entire control of the political press, and, with one honorable exception, have only let in light to the people in such portions as best suited them, proscribing distitnguished individuals who would not subscribe to their standard of ortho doxy, and misrepresenting their acts and opin ions, without suffiering them to speak for them. selves through the only medium by which they could gain access to their fellow citizes To remedy this evil is another object for which this press has been established." Surely the editors of the Chronicle, must have written the above from lack of information. They have made a grave and sweeping charge against nearly all the political press of South Carolina. We cannot believe that the respect able gentlnmen who conduct the press in this State, are afraid to let the opinions of the Whigs, -and of General Iarri-:on, such as they are, be known to their readeis. With regard to ourselves, the charge of pro.scribing any man, . for mere opinion's sake. is utterly unfounded. 'We have never hesitated to pubhsli the opin. ions of "distinguished individuals" of the Whig party of this State, when the slightest intimation was given us, that they desired us to do so. Urasolicited, we have spread before our readers, the Address of Gen. Thotnpson to his constitu ents, the letter of Col. Preston to the citizens of r'harleston, the resolutions of the Hamburg neetitig at Hamburg, and other things emanat ing from the Whigs. Our paper has ever been open to their communications. We have even published some of their selections, and have only excluded one or two long newspaper arti cles, which they sent us. We have acted in the same manner towards thme Democrats. We and the former Editors of this paper. have ever manifested the greatest forbearance and respect towardsthe Whlig leaders in S. Caro lina. We have never spoken of' thetm harshly or unbecotnin gly, thouh we have not hesitated to condemn their political cohduact From 1837 to the present time,thec editors of the Advertiser, have never refused, when reqgtested. to publis.h the speeches of proaminent WIhigs amlongst us. For proof of this, we refer to our file. We deem it unnecessary to say any more at pres ent. * We believe that it is not usual for Whig pa pers, to publish Democuatic articles in their col umns. We exchange with a nutmber and we rare ly sea any thing in favor of Demot-rac'y in these jourtials. We find the following ini the -Geor gia Journal" a leadi'ag Whig paper : " We regret that, accordin'z to a rule which we have hiid down, for our government, we cannot publish the proceedings of an Ant i-Har. risoa State Riights meeting,.- held in Troup county."

The South Western Rail Road Bank has lately stepped forward to do what the Biank of the State and she ought to have done at the start, even against all others. to aid the credit of the Road. in this great state enterprise. The State is interested largely in the road-and the Sooth Wes tern Bank was chartered tomake the road. and we think these institutions ought to have given their influence to aid the credit of the Company. The South Western Batik receives on deposite und pays out the small hils of thu company under the denotniuatioi of $5 and the Town Council of Columbia have also made them receivable for all due. to the Town. We think this demonstra tion of good feelingA towards the company was due by Columbia. and hope our eiti zens will reflect on the propriety of aidit:g whenever they can the progress of the Road. The small change hills are very much needed throughout the coutry, and vill be a great accotmiodtution to merchants. and we should think a convenience to the Banks. We hope all the Banks will fol low the example of the South Western Rail Road Bank, and receive them. The issue of change hills by the Bank of the State is not entiouh to supply the demand. The Road to Orangeburg is now in use, and our mail i s brought from Charleston by II o'clock at night.

Hay MaKINo.-Philosophy teaches. nnd many years experien-e bhas confirmed us in the correctness of'her teiachitngs, that notl only clover, but all hay ini which clo ver, or any of the succutlent gr-asses, are constituents should be cured in small grass cocks, not rolled, but formed of layers with the fork. The ohjections to the old modte of curitng wholly in the sun, are. in the first place, that the leaves and fiter parts of grasses, dry, ctrtumble, and are lost ere the stemns andI succulent portions are lit to carry tn the barn. In the secotid place, that ani intense hot sun is hurt ful to the bay. that cnred in the shade being always the most fragrant atnd nutritious Third-it is liable to be seriouisly injurPed by the dew, sudden showers, or coitntinued rains. And fourth, it demands more labor thain the new mode. We will briefly state our method of management, wvhich experi emince has induneed us somewhat to vary. Our erass is heavy. averagingt, perhaps, 2 1 2tous to the aere, and abound< more or leas in clover. Where this pireponderates, or is in any considerable proportion, tWe endeavor to cut whben the clover has just passed the full bloom. The grass is of course succulent and juicy. and the swaths heavy. That wich is cut in the fore pat ofu he day, if the weather bids fair, is turned over in swath, but not spread or tenaded, after three or four o'clock in order that the wilted paort ion may be covered from the dew. If rain is apprehended, it is ptit into grass cocks, instead of being turded in the swath. The grass which is mown in the afternoon is put into cocks the followinig afternoon, having been turited in the swath at ten or eleven, if time will permit, or if the grass is very heavy or wet. We never spreast from the swath, unlegg rain fallsg before it is cocked ; and in thIs case it is mtade into cocks as soon as the water is exhaled, and thegrass wvited. We prefer to leave the cocks undlieattrbpd two nights and one day anti utntil a fair day, in which the eurmtg process maty be completed, atnd the hay housed. Ii olay stand a week in cocks without receivirng any itnjury, if they are properly made. In the finishilng pio. cess, the cocks are opened in the tmorninig, say at nine or ten, the hay shaken up, that the moistture, which is now pritncipally tupon the exterior of the grass, may pass freely off-it is turned at eleven to two, and at two to four it is completely cured, and fit to he taken to the barn. Cured in ,this way scarcely a leaf is wasted, and the hay has a freshness, fragiance and flue olartmuuchtohadesired. Thnbeei tea-.. ten per cent gained in quantity, and as much in quality. The practice of the best English, Flem iah and French farmers, says Deane, is to expose theif hay as little as possible to the sun. It is carried In dry, but it preserves its green color; and you see hay two or three years old- in tcit inarket, of so bright a green color, that we should scarce ly conceive it ho be cured ; yet they are in the practice of preserving it for years. and value it more for its age. The cock excludes it from the sun and preserves its gieenness,- and if a slight fernentation takes place there, the hay seldom heats, and never spoils ilt the mnow or stack. It is the best mode to make good hay. A Bee.-Our neighbnr of the Planter,. has been boasting of a big Beet, but we have now on our table a Beet, that heats his beot. It was raised in Dr. Parker's Garden, with just comiton culture. antd is not fully grown. It measures 161 inches in length. 214 inches in circumference, and weiehs 10 pounds. The Doctor has some which he thinks will be considerably lar ger than this when grown.-Temp'erance Advocate. The Crops of Texas.-A late number of the Austin Gazette says: "that the far mers on the Colorada, in the neighbrhootd of Bastrop, are willing to contract for the sale of their crops of corn. at the rate of fifty cents par money, per bushel. The yield of the early crops on the Colorada will this year he itmmetise." . Making Butter.-Every farnier who makes his own butter, will be glad to learn how to make the most from tnilk, at the same time produce an article of good quality. Putting a pint of cold water du ring the mummer months into each pan of milk, when strained from the cow will materially aid these desirable objects. The milk will not sour as quick, nud the cream will rise more perfectly. The ra son why butter made in summer becomes rancid so soon, is owing to the imperfect manner in which the milk frequently soured before churning, is separted from the butter. Retarding the souring of the milk by the application of cold water, obvi ales this difficulty.-Gennessee Farmer. Largest iron Bridge.-The largest Iroti Bridge inithe world is in Chiia, near King tong, where it forms a perfect road from the top of one immense mountain to the other. It is fortmed ol'chains, twenty-one in number, and bound together by other cross chains. This bridge is more than 150 years old. and yet the Chinese are considered fools by loireign barbarians. The following story is told to frighten young bachelors-there is not a word of truth in it: "Tie widow of Elphesus bedlewed the grave of her spouse with one eye. while she sqtinted love to a )oung soldier with, the other." "True love never did ran smooth." as the lover said ven the father of his beloved set the dogs after hitr. ATIGfTtA, (GA.) MARKET, July 9. CoT-ro.-Our market remains much in the same state as last noticed. Tie inquiry con timies good, and the little offering is readily ta ken at our fortaer quotations, which we conti title Unatered. Our stock is very light. and is daily diminishing; we estimate itatthe prese nt time iot over 4000 bales, very little of which is otn the market for sale. The'transactions from warehouses reach about 300 bales which were disposed of as follows: 7. at 6. 17 at 7j. 27 at 8. 14.a 61, 12 at 9, 21 -it 91. and 200 bales, in one lot, at 91 cents.

G Roc Entas.-Otur grocery market continues well sut'plied with all dlescripritis. atnd there is tn scnrcity of any article that we liear of. The trade at tlie present tine is coinfined altogether to the interior in a retail way.

'Tis timne I lift mine eyes Up wards, Dear Father, to thy throne, And to my native skies." Site went through this in te same manner' that ushe hand donte the preceding one.
