An exchan;c papersays: -- That a pelitiwn was presented to the Legislature of Mississippi, not long since, by Mr. B. 11. Rice, which amongst other things, pr3yed the Legislature, to hung all public agents who abusc their trust, and banish all swindlers to Texas." This how ever did not seem to quadrate with the views of that honorable body, fearing, probably, that it might tend to a too speedy depopulation of the country. No doubt Texas will mourn the rejection of a measure, that will deprive her of such a concourse of enterprising and valuablc citizens. McLecd.-This man, it appears, after all, has been indicted by the grand jury of Niagary county, for the murder of Durfec the stage driver, who was shot devd on the wharfat Schlosser, on the night the steam boat Caroline was burnt. Communication. BURN YOUR COTTON STALKS. Mr. Editor-I am one of those who be lieve that it is the indispensable duty ofev ery man, especially those who call them selves planters, to communicate to the pub lic, information no matter how trivial, that will in the smallest degree promote the interest of the farmers generally. There is no planter in the State, I venture to say, who has paid that attention to his farm that is obligatory upon him, but can give valuable information upon almost every subject connected with the cultivation of the soil. In view of the above obligation, I have concluded to call the attention of farmers to one fact, which perhaps will be more beneficial in cultivating a crop, than one would antipate, from so small a mat ter as burning Cotton Stalks. The hard times, Mr. Editor, has caused me to re flect very seriously, upon the failure of an other cotton crop. Should that be the case, ruin must fall upon every class of the community. Well, in order to enable me, the more perfectly to succeed in a crop of cotton, I set about to examine every old stump, tree, &c., in my cotton field, to find out, if possible. what had become of the worm or catterpil!ar that was so very destructive to our cotton the last year. I proceeded to examine one by one very closely, but made no dscovery, in passing through the field with my knife in hand, (as usual with farmers,) whittling every little splinter, until I exhausted every thing in the shape of wood. I then fell upon the cotton stalks, where, to my surprise, the first part of a stalk I cut up, I found six catterpillars snugly housed in the peth of the talk. This discovery led me to an examination of at least some fifty or more stalks, when to my astonishment I found the worm, some eight or ten in every stalk, and nearly all alive. My plan is, to des troy these lorers of cotton imiaediately, and the only elfectual mode that I know of. is to burn the stalks. You should set about immediately, say the firat rain, pull catterpillar should eat itself out, in the shape of a butterfly perhaps, or some oth er insect, ready to deposit its egg as soion as your cotton should begin to form squares or bulls. By adopting thme above plan. thousands and tens of thousands may he destroyed, which will remove entirely. in my opinion, the greatest dilliculty in mak ing a crop of cotton. But, perhaps some farmers may conclude, that as planiters generally plant corn after cotton, it will make no material difference as to burning the stalks. But stop; let mec ask you if you are certain that the chinch bug is not a production of this very catterpillar ; and besides that, many farmers, notwithstad ing they adiopt the rotation plan of farm ing, are necessarily co)mpelled to plant some cotton itn the same field twice, atnd perhaps thrice in succession ? You will excuse the dress, Mr. Editor, in which this! article appears, as my object is simply to 1 elicit a degree of attention to this mauter, and to draw forth frotm those more expe rienced than myself, information whieb will elevate the science of agriculture to a station which it deserves. A YOUNG PLANTER. South Carolina Bar Associaion.--At the Anniversary Meeting of this Assoema tion, held in the Library Room, Charles. I ton, on Saturday the 8th inst., the follow ing elections were made for the ensuing year. I Hon. DAVID JOH NSON, President. JAS. L. GANTrT, Librarian, Secreta ry end Treausurer. Standing Committee.--R. Yeadon. Jr., Esq., Chairman. lIon. B. F. Danukin. A. G. Magrath, Esq., G. B. Eckhard, Esq., John Phillips, Esq. On motion. "Resolved, That the thanks of the As sociation be tenderedl to P. Phillips. Esq., of M1obile, Alabmama, for the ' Digest of Cases,' decirled in the Supreme Court of Alabama, and to Wmr. Rice, Esq., for his *'Equity Reports,' presented to the Asso ciation, and that the Librarian be directed to address those gentlemen suitable letters of acknowledgement on behalf of the As sociation." United States Bank Stock in South Car olina.-We presume the intelligent Wash-. ington Correspondent of the Courier miust lhe mistaken, in saying that "moore of the Stock [of the broken U. S. Bank] was held in South Carolina, than in any other State in the Union-say three millions;" and that hiserror grows partly out of coo sidering Mlr. Potter, formerly of Charles ton, and now of New Jersey, who holds, or (lid hold when here, probably about a. million, as still a resident of this St ate. - r Itw mistake not, too., some two o,. thre olier geitlei who have removei from this State, were large stockholders when they did so; and we doubt much that even one million ofthe Stock is now held in South Carolina.-South Carolinian. COLUMBUS, (GA.) Feb. 10. Resumption.-But little has been done in the way of specie, since the 1st. melt. Our Banks have paid promptly whenever a demand has been made, but the people prefer the bills to the specie. The amount which has been drawn from the Banks does not exceed ten thousand dollars, and a good deal of that just came out for an airing, and has gone back.-Argus. Commonealth -s. Semmes.-We learn from the Charlottsville Va. Ad vocate, that the trial of Joseph Semmes before the Ex aming Court, on the charge of murdering Professor Davis, was hrought to ia close late on Wednesday evening, after a two days investigation, and it was decided that the prisoner should be sent for fur ther trial, to he had before the Circuit Su perior Court in May next.-Aug. Chron. 4- Sentinel. The Extra Scssion.-Should an extra session of Congress be called on the acces sion of Harrison, special elections will have tobelieldinNew llampshire.Connec ticut, Rhode Island, Virginia, North Car olina, Maryland, Indiana, Illinois, Ken. iucky, Tennessec, Alahama, and Mississip pi. These States are entitled to ninety eight members. of whom the greater part would not be choseu regularly, until Au gust next, and some still later. Information wanted.-Joseph Lord de sires to obtain information of his only broth er Emanuel Lord, whom he supposes to be residing in some of the South Western States, probably Alabama or Mississippi, if alive, as he last heard of him in Mobile. They are nmives of Hyde county, North Carolina. The newspapers in the West will confer a tavor by publishing this no tice, and if any individual should know any thing of the said Emanuel Lord, they will confer a lasting obligation by address ing a letter givingtch information, to Jo seph Lord, at Hanburg, South Carolina. Ang. Chron. 4- Sen. A Philanthropist in peril.-A letter to a gentleman in this place, states that a white man has been arrested in Angusta, charged with detailing certain "objects near his heart', to his sable friends in that city. le, together with nine of his ebon friends, were escorted to quarters more secure than comfortable, to await a trial in a few days. It is thought the Philathropist, and sev eral of his Ethiopian associates, on leav ing the walls of their newly adopted semi nary, will take himpen valedictories. Be ott the alert for more of these worthies! Macon (Ga.) Telegraph. Varioloid in New York.-The N. York Evening Post says, the varioloid disease prevails to a cons;iderable extent in this cityv. Persons are attacked by it without having, to their knowledge, heen exposed to the contagion. We have heard of sev eral cases in w-hich it has been fatal, and the remark has been made, with what ruth we cannot say, that it appears to be more virulent than usual. ,,~~~~~~~o1 l,,.,. .-.:.. fmssuy IsI ;oton expected to occupy "the Whitc House" I it Washington, any thing relating to her I 1itory will be gratifying to the piiuhlic.

In 17876le became the pro prietor of 'the maaimi purchase," of near a nrillion of acres, and removed to that coun ry. 'Mrs. Uarrison was educated at East hampton, Long Island, and whlen young I vas esteemed a Lady ofgreat personal and nettal accotmplishments. A writer fur lie Nationtal Portrait Gallery for 1836. htis speaks of her: "She is distignished or her benevolence and piety; anid all who nfow her view her with esteem and af'ee on. Her wvhole course through life, in ill its rebattons, hais been characterized by hose qualifications that coimplete thle char cttr of an accomplhishecd matron." r Eastern P'arable.--A man was travel ing in Syria, leading his came bnhy the bri le.

A College Affair.-The Baltimore Sun af the 10th inst., says that a most disrepu table scene took place on Monday, at St. Mary's College, in that city, calculated to bring disgrace on the perpetators. It ap pears that one of' the students from the Eastern Shore, during that day. gave or diers to a white woman employed there as a servant, to take a pitchcr of water to his room, when she informed him that his room did not come tinder her care, where upon the student seized a pitcher the ser vant had in her hand, and broke it over her head. For this conduct he was im mediately ejected from the college by the President, The other students, it appears, took offence at the just and peremptory rders of the president, and while they were all at tea on that evening, most or the young springs, no doubt as previously agteed upon, suddenly rose, threw the dishes on the floor, upset the tables, break ing them and the chairs to pieces, and rossly insulting the officers of tiat excel lent college. High constables Mit chel and Cook were sent for, and order restored, since which fifleen of the most active in this disgraceful affair have been expelled the institution. Printers' Gratuities.-No class of me chanics, perhaps, suff'r more from the pre datory and legging habits of individuals, than Printers. They work so hard, in vest so much, and furnish their papers so low, that people really seem to think they actually are worth nothing but to be given awn-, or taken without leave. Accor'ing ly, nothing is more common than for peo ple who have the curiosity to read snme thing that happens to be particularly inter esting, or who wish to send a piper to a riend as a token of rememberance, to run into a Printing-Office, and ask for, oa take a paper just out from the Press, and if the printer should think of taking any thing for it, the customer would think himself quite insulted by the aiggardness of the stingy printer! With what other mechan ics or business-men would people think of taking the same liberties? Go into a gro cery and ask the retailer to give you a foar pence-ha'penny's worth of ten, coflee or stgar and unless you were really an object of charity, he would probably think him self the one imposed ttpon. Or visit a bookstore and make off with haif a dozon heets of writing paper, and most likely the proprietor will pursue his customer with a lwrit of petit larceny. Go into a jniner's shop and ask him to give you six cents worth of his wars, and von will feel as if you were engaged in a chenp businc-ss. And yet people will enter a printing-office, andt ake six cents' worth of printer's labor and really think it one of that sort of things which should be given away-becanse the paper is printed. A clean white sheet he ould think too valuable to abbtract with iut pay, and yet it costs probably twenty ve dollars every week to set up types that ire impressed upon the sheet that make i worthless. No-no-this is not the way o do business. If yon want a paper aid will not subscribe for it-as all honerable nen do just step into the offec and laying lowin a silver bit, say-"Sir, ifyou please, et me have one of your papers and take hat in pay for it." You will 1)e rendily accommodated, and then. be senta. ( ookmtg over the shoulder of the composi or to read his manuscript,) or retire naid ead your own paper like a man of good 'nscience nnd honorable principles. taine Cultivator.

T HESE Medicines are indebted for theis name to their manifest and sensible ac tion in purifying the springs and channels ol lfe, and enduing them with renewed tone and vigor. In many hundred certified cases which have been made public. and in almost every species of disease to which the human frame i liable, the happy effiects of Mofat's Life Pill and Phenix Bitters, have been gratefully and publicly acknowledged by the persons benefit ted, and who were previously tm;;cquamit(d with the beautifully philosophical principles upon which they are compounded, and upt: which they consequently act. The Life Medicines recommend themselves in diseases of every form and description. Their first operation is to loosen from the coats of the stominch and bowels, the various impuri ties and crudities constantly settling around them; nnd to remove the bardened fraces which collect in the convolutions of the smallest intes. tines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave snch collected masses behind as to prodnee habitual costiveness, with all its trains of evils, or sudden dinrihma. with its im rninent dangers. This fact is well known to all regular anatmnists. who examine the hu man boweL4 afler death; and hence the preju dice of those well informed men against quack medicines-or medicines prepared and herald. ed to the public by ianorant persons. The se cond effect of the'l ifV Medcines is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this tmeans, the liven and the lungs. t';e he-.thfL:: action of which entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary organs. The blood, which takes its color from tne agency of the liver and the luigs before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by themu, and nourished by food com ing from a clean stomach. conrse! freely through the veins. renews everypart of the system, an d triumphantly mounts the :a:mnar of health in the blooming cheek. ofat's Life Mecicines have been thorouigly tested, and pronounced a sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpi:ation of the Hean, Loss of Appetite, Heart-burn and Head ache, Restleasness, Ill-temper, Anxiety, Lan gtor and Melancholy, Costiveness, Diarrhea. Cholera, Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gotit, Llropsies of all kinrs, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consumption. Scurvy, Ulcers, In veterate Sores, Sdorbutic Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive complints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disaareeable Complexions, Salt liheum, Erysipelas. Common Colds and Infutenza, and various other complaints which afflict the human frame. In FFvER and AouE, particularly, the Life Medicines have been nst eminently successful, so much so that in the Fever and Agne districts, Physicians al. nost universally prescribe them. All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patients is to lie particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly according to the directions. It is not by a newspaper notice, or by any thing that he himself may say in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is alone by the results of a 'air trial.

Description.-May Day is a dark brown,with a star in his forehead. aid some white hairs on his tail, 16 hands high, po;sessed of ancommon li' fine appearance, form and symnnetry, and has every form which constitutes a Race Horse. May Day was foaled mine, will be five years old'on the 1st day of May next, from which gireimstance lie takes his name. Ped4irre.-May Day was sired by that cele brated Staion, Argyle, whose blood and per formance on the!:nrf, are so well known, that it is deemed unnecessary to in:-ert it in this ad. vertisement. His dam, Black Agress wa Aired by Old Pbenomenon, g. dam by Col. gleton's Old Ganomede, his g. g. dam by Cale. donia. Black Agness was trained in the fall of 1833, by Col. J. D. Williams, with his horse Black Hawk, when lie made his first great feat on the turfat Newbury village, for the reat colt purse, which lie won with ease. She was not allowed to run, in consequence of her be. ing six months nlder than the rules of the terf required. In a trial race with Black -Hawk, they make a dead heat, and she never was trained afterwards. I never had doubted but what she would have distinguished herself if she had been tried. R. GRIFFIN.
