In future numbers of this journal we shall ex .pet to present the subject of Agricultural chemistry, pretty mnch in the order above -eggested. We are particularly anxious to se oar readers studying the nature of the different earths, the power of light, beat %d electricity on vegetation, the sub. stance of the dirberent plants, and the pow. or of mautares upon vegetable life. If we still be asked what profit there is in Agri cultural chanistry, we answer, it will al ways enablethe farmer to raise greater crops with less labor, and with infinitely more satisfaction to himself.

But when we as sert on our own positive knowledge, that but cight deaths, fron fever ofany descrip tion, oricinating in the city, have occured in the.last twelve months, it is plain that no epidemic fever could have prevailed, Our population, by the late ceusus, amnounts to 2.00, and we doubt whether there is a aown oflhalfour population in the whole South in which mortality from fever hasi b.:en so small during the same period. "The first death took place in August. Two more occurred in September, and five in the month of October-eight in all. Of these eight, four at least, took place from neglect on the part of the patients to avail themselves tof timely medical advice, anti one was a person ofuotoriously intemperate litails. At present there is not a case of fever within our corporate limits." ST. Auousrts, Nov. 5.

TwoofMr. G. Overstreet's children were killed, and his wife and two children wounded. Two of Mr. Silas Overstreet's children were in the house at the time, but escaped unhurt. Dr. Ragli", whos was also in the house at the same time, is mortally wounded, having receiv ed three balls in his body. He immediate ly fled from the house, but from the loss of blood, was unable to proceed more than three hundred yards. where he secreted himself until morning. Mr. Overtreem, his ladly, and two wounded children fled, and nr.ade good their escape. Mrs. 0.-and her twocehilren who are woutnded, were shot witharroies. Th~is ia most conclusive proof that the ammunition of the Indians maust. be nearly exhausted.

St. Clajoville Gazette, "Abfradesu'sts."-There are twosort otAbstractionists in our country, which ay be called Virginia .bstractionists and Kentucky Abstractionists. The Virginia Abstructionist is one who recognizes the obligations of oaths, the du ty of obeying the Constitution, and the ob servance of moral principle in the man agement of public affairs. The Kentucky Abstractionist is one who -looks chiefly to abstractiug money from the people's pockets for the purpose of building up a Nobility, (at present with out the name,) in Bankers, Manufacturing Capitalists, and other privileged or favor classes. How the money is taken he re ally does not care; but all of his class pre fer a Tariff because irslips dollars-and tens of dollars out or the Farmers' pocket with outhis knowing it. To tax men and at the same time make them believe they are not taxed, is the ne plus ultra of a "Keu tucky AbstractionisL" Talk of constitu tions and- oaths to him!-Ho will smile upon you as a poor, benighted "Virginia Ahbstractionist," an age behind the times in all that is practical and clever, Many Whigs Papers, which have grown wise from experience, openly speak or the absurdity of expecting to elect Mr. Clay President. Of this description is the Gran ada (Miss) Reporter, edited by James 31. Neviyon, esq. a Whig candidate for the Legislature : "Henry Clay will cot be the next Presi dent. He might very well please the Nothern tariflitin, and the bankers and stockjobbers of Wall and Chestnut streets; and he might even tie not unacceptable to the mercantile interests of the South ; but his high tariffuotions will no mom coalesce *ith the free trade and State rights opin ions of the cotton planters of the States, than oil and water will mingle their na tures. It can't be done. Politicians may tell of the honor and glory that would re sult from such election, and they may ex patiate in glowingt terms upon the immense achievement! of3Mr. Clay-but it all won't do-he is the proscribed of the people and their bans is on him." From the Alevandria Index. Will Virginia take the Bribe.-We hail with satisfaction, the contemplated refusal of South.Curolina, to take the bribe that is offered to her by that shameful law, the Distribution bill. We know that Virginia wtll respond nobly to the voice from the Palmetto groves, and spurn the price of virtue. Can a Democratic anember of this Confederacy touch the accursed thing? We cannot believe there will be found an Achan in the cutup, who would sell his life and the liberty of hia country, for a wedge of gold. Better far that it should be ground into powder, and be turued into vermin, than that a nation should be bribed with it, to its everlasting ruin. Away thou with the spoil of the plunder. er. Give it buck with a voice of indigna that shall ring from the Ohio to the Ches apeake. The people of Virginia have no desire to be bribed; and were they ever so venal, they would be 'simpletons to be bought with their own money, and then be ed 25 per cent. more to pay for it. Men he Old Dominion, spurn the treasure ould the gold of the pirate or 'Diribution Bill.-The Ohio Cos lte of the 9th inst. says; sty of the Ohio Legistature.-One of first duties of the next Legislature, in our opinion, should be to pabs a joint reso lution instructing our senators and recom mending our Representatives in Congress, to vote for the repeal of the infamous Dis tribution or Bribery Bill forced through the extra session, by Henry Clay, and his "white Charlies," They should also re solve, that in case the bill is not repealed. that Ohio will bestow her portion (8J00, 000) upon the general Governmetnt, to p lace itt a commnon fund, for the National Defence! In this course, she would only be following the glorious example of her step-mother, Virginia, who gave up her territory to the General Government. for the same patriotic purpose. But if neither of the above su::gest ions are practicable, then we s:,y, Ohio should appropriate her portion, to the defence of hier own frontier.

Melanacholy Rrsult of Cupidity.-T he Louisville Journal states that two or three weceks ago three hundred foreign emigtats arrived at the Balize below New Orleans. The city authorities hearing oftheir arrival, and anxious that they should not fall vic tims to the yellow fevers, sent a deput ation, warning them not to enter the city, and of fering to furnish them with the means of subsistence until the pestilence should sub side. The emigrants thought that it was all a Yankee trick. "We are told," said they to the deputation." that we can make three dollars a day in New Orleans: if athe authorities will pay us that, we will stay where we are-.--if not, not."

T.. labor of saind.-It is no unusua thing to hear the farmer and meebani4 assert that their representatives at the cap ital, from the President to the member o Congress, "have an easy time of it an, are well paid." In this they are mista ken. A reposing attitude does not al way constitute repose, nor idle hands idlenes ,with public men, The farmer goes to th field in the morning, and at night enjoy refreshing slumber while nature crowns hi labors with success. It is not so with th statesman. After mingling with friend and foes, and transacting the multifarios duties of his office during the day, he throw himself down at eve, but not to rest-ther is no rest-:here is no rest for him! Con scions of his responsibility-a responsibili ty which probably involves the welfare c millions-it is his constant study how ti promote and preserve his fame by avoid ing the numberless evils that beset him and how to secure to the country all th, benefits of his experience and wisdom. He has no rest. While recumbent a midnight on his couch, (though his couci may be of down.) could the merry lnbore but see his pallid cheek, his fiery sleeples eye, and his clammy brow, he would ex claim "there is no rest there!" And is such hours-when no sound is heard bu the lone cricket's chirp, and no light sect but the pale rays of the moon streaminj through the casement-the genius of 1h4 stateman frequectly decides for weal oi woo the fate of an empire! It may re quire years to accomplish the object resol ved upon, and the exertions of a million o inen to ell'ct it; but the result will be pro cisely what was anticipated by the appa rently effeminate being in his miduighi studies. The faithful public servant is truly a slare to his country. lie labors not. witi his hands, but the labor of his mind during a single hour may give employment to ser thousand hands for years! If the repre senatives of the people represent then truly, it can neither be said of them thai they are fed at the "public crib" to reple tion, nor that their couches are "beds ol roses."-Madisonian.

So many Generals, and Colonels, and Majors, and Captains. we suppose, have not met together in the United] States since the last war, and we hope that they will convince our Legislators that a restoratior of the Brigade ,Encampment system is loudly called for, not only by the officers, hut the citi' r~en generally.
