I allude to the many suosed discoveries of deposites o marl, of which speciments have been sen -T'itde-'to b; imtminid and analysed, a which I have been induced to visit by er renemOs reports, and which deposites i very little labor. ii. digging could have shown to the discoverers to be the uses ime ofold and. forgottan Indigo vats. a .opaotheriqu.aliya i5rial depoites, no e*sslisste i1 amount, and of which the rai characters were equally obvious, o opn to easy detection. In sundry case I ave been called upon to examine wha proved to be such deposites, either insita at much waste of my time and labor, o otherwise much to the trouble of the pro prietors in obtaining and forwarding ape cimens. Several new supplies of the "Indigo-vat marl" hve very recently beet received. And as ibere must be man; thoisands of such forgotten deposites ye undiscovered in South Carolina, (that is one or more on every plantation on whieh indigo was formerly made,) it may be by no means a work of superrogation for r to ggest the ca and simple means by in -all each artificial and limited depos ites-may be distinguished from the natura and abundant, and also bol, &in froin all.con-calcareous earths. When any earth or stone is suspectsd to be marl, or to be calcareous. the easi and -ready mode to test it, is to apply 1 few drope of muriatic acid. or any othe stron acid. Twenty five cents wortho asuriatic acid would be enough to test thu OW specimens. If no other acid be a hand, arong vinegar will serve, provide. that, if the specimen be very hard, it be first pounded or crushed. If the eatir it questiod is calaereous, (as marl or lime atone,) ach applicadon of acid will pro duce y the disen ment of carbdbi acid gas.) an lm ias and violent of ferveseoce, which it will be impossible tc mistake. A mistake however. s frequent ly made by neW en 'menters in thii manner. if theacld(as indeed wouk water) be poured on d clay, or earth no calearcous, the atmosperic air encloses in thepbres or crevices will*g'e place to the liquid, and escape in air-bubblea,whici smay be mistaken for a very slighi disen gagement of carbonic acid gas. The pois WON of the earth with water, before touching with acid, will guard agains: thi -light source of error. his testing by acid decides as to what is caleareous or not, but of course does not distinguish between natural and artificial formations; and formanure, the latter, sc far as ,h yrmay hold out, would be just as servieable as the former, provided they are as rich. Therefore, when the char acter of any earth has been tested and found to be calcareous, the next examina tion-needed is (not a chemical abalysis- o a spe imen of the fitst spade-full, but) to ascertain whether the quantity or eapen be considerable, by digging and removing the earth, and applying it as 'manure. Nearly all the artificial deposites (indigc vets, transported lime-stone, or othe. kinds,) which I have been called to decidi upon, might have bcen d.g arough nc exhausted in half an hour, and the mus extensive of them would nut have supplieL * ~a single cart for three day.. Therefore, ir all such cases of doubt, after ascertainin; the earth to be cafeareous, let the pfoprie to put a grubbing hoe and spade to work. and a cart if need be. The loger the supply 6'ay last, so much the more to hi' profli, and be will not rail to learn, cithe. in a few minutes or a few days. whethew the deposits be natural and abundant, ot artificial, and of course very limited in ex tent..If tbe latter be the ease, the proprie tior will need no nid; if the former, then I will- most willingly receiie his specimeo, and- analyze it .aud report- to bitur its Evecn irr regard to natural depositei boniafJIde marl, it isdesirable ancessa ry that the specimens sent for my exami nation shonld be correctly designated and labelled, so that: the precise Iohity and important circumnqtances shallappear, and also the person 1ie known who selected the. specimen, and who is-responsible for the accuracy of the descriptioai. Without sueth ccompanimsents of description and'authen tiention, the report of the analysis of a ipecinmen might serve to mislead rath'es than to inform or beueflt the public. Very dia'erent from the course hero recommen dod, specimeas of earths and- mineralh have .been sent to me forgexamination, withotit any proper designation of the hind, locality, or position in-the beds, and sometimes even without the name of the sender.

I shall pro poe in this number for consideration, its socia bearings. It is impossible to eonsider matt in a social light as landlords are laborers, but as having different, essenfially dilferent habits, Jeelings and modes of thinking, and true as, "Birds of a feather, Will dock together," will men and women having the same pursuits. feelings and views, from associa dons with enth other to the exclusion of those who essentially ditier in these ele ments of the social nature. And it is a bundantly pravebVa (he greatest evils that have ever af'ecsed the social circles, have been from that constant efort to change ; which is everywhere made by the ambitious twrise, when they are wholly incompetent, from circumstances which inseparately attach to their minds. feelings and habits. But there is a clam, which must of necessity exist in all forms of So. eiety, which not only are marked for a distinct class of society, by these common features for contradistinction. but to en sure with perfect certainty social peace; he is marked in bis changeless color,which is the badge of changeless peace in the social life of a Southerner. And if there be any truth in Physiognomy. io Phreon. logy or Physiology, the forms of his limba, his head and his face, for a higher destiny tell us, as he is, he must be till by an or ganization for a higher social destiny takes place; which we expect when "the Embiop changes his skin." As his relation is but for social comfort for the whites, the landlords, so it is best for the negr. for we will find. as Judge Harper has clearly shown, that his actions do not affect him in a social light as they would if the door were open for hin to mount or sink in social life.

Come to the South and see! you will n'ot find one as degradted and looked on with the contempt with which the virtuous Yankee rooks on the loafer of his own to. a or city. With the former, his children still have breaif; he still has viribous employment and in bit, eye brighten the rays of hope in returning good character by his reformation, while am the time he is called "vicious." But with the latter, his children want bread and himre', and his sons and daughters are driven, some to the penitentiary and work-house by law, some to the Brothel for bread, and the yirtuous man when he sees them or him,turns with contemptuous look from his very sight with the word "vagabond" on his tongue, which closes forever the portals of hope from the guilty devil. * . 0 0 - 0 And should not these alowances be made for the declared lower caste 7 Most certaiol The. reat "Master has said, where much is given, much will be re quired ;" and of course, where little is given, little will be required. and his place in society like all other laborers, must lie more or less connected with ignorance and 1i wnt of social virtue.

T1he Present Administrato.-ft is really diguesting to see the gross attacks that are daily made, upon the President of thbe United States, and his cabinet, by the press of all parties, whbether Van Bu ren, Calhoun or Clay.

Jul 12, 1843. b I believe I have room to give you the b particular& of one of the tart shocking J murders I have ever heard of, commit- b ted in Barber County, Alabama, a few B days agai A Mrs. Gaclhett pronounced q Gash) and her two daughters were visi- t ted on the day of the murder by a Mr. I Brown and his wife-they took dinner I a id remained until late in the evenig with the old lady and her daughters. When th y were about leaving, they i - sisted that the old lady should go home i with them and spend the night; she refu- i sed, giving as a reason that her daugh- c ters would be left alone, and farther that I all the money she had was in her house. I They however continued to urge her un- I til she consented to accompany them to t remain the night.-Shortly after her de i partare, a sick add weary traveller rode c up and begged permisson to stay the i night. The two ladies said they Were alone and be could not stop. He said he I doubted whether could ride to next house, and presuming they were afraid of him, he told them if they would consent to let him remain, he would take his room and suafer them to lock the door and to keip the key. At this proposition they con sentod, and the traviler soon went to his room, there being but two in the house. a Continuing to hear sone one moving I about, he got up, went soflly to thedoor 4 and discovered a man at a bureau exam- I ining the drawers. He bailed the indi- I vidual, who instantly drew a knife, and 4 made at the traveller. who, as be Rp- I proached. shot him dead at his feet. The pistof alarated the negroer, and When they came up they went into the ladies' I room and found both of them lying in their beds, with their throats cut, and I dead! The traveller,- on enquiring for their mistress, was taken to Brown's house. On meeting the old lady, he told her some one had murdered her diaugh ters'and that he had shot the villain. Mrs. Brown exclaimed- *you have killed my busband" and so it tarned otat;the very person who had sar the day with Mrs. Gachett had mutred her dagbh ter*! What a providential thing that the man should have been permitted to re main to punish the assassin! It is a pity Mts. Brown had not shared her husband's fate, as she must have known his murder-' ous design. Electricity.-We are aware that sotlde people think that "if they were bora to be 1 struck with lightning, it is but folly to at tempt to avert the blow," yet we believe in no such doctrine. The laws of elec. rcilty are now pretty well understoodand it is now just as reasonalile to live in ac cordance with them, as with any other jaw of nature. To remove from a strong current of air to escape a stroke of light ning, is just as philosophical as to step aside to shun a precil ice ; it is eqnaly as wise to insure your bilding from light ning by a good confuctdr, as to insure it from our common fires at a premium of one and a half per cent. To betray symptoms of fear to any case, is unman ly; but to use one's reason to avert danger is altogethcr a diller-nt thing. The best I safeguard against lightning is a good con- I ductor, kept in complete, repair, and next to this, a group of lofty trees; but where a dwelling is protected by neither, it is highly prudena for its inmates to- beanke themselves, during a heavy thunoder storm to the ~afest place in ii. As the air is a I very bad conductor of olcctric'ity, it al- I wrays seeks to move in and with a current, and hence it is always dangerous ina a tbunder storm to set between two win dows, ornat aentrance of a door. Hiad ane ; person whlo wvas killed in Boston last sum- | mer by a stroke of lightning known this I fnct, the fad catastrophe had been avoi ded. Again-tho nir in a chtimasey, being U rari~ed by tho beat below, the electric I U~uid often enters a house in this direction. hence parsons should aever seat them-i selves immediately before a fire place in a dangerous storm. When the electric fluid does not enter the door or chimney I of a house, it usually strikes one corner of the roof and passes,-the rafters, timbers, 6 or sides of ihe buildinguntil- it enters the d earth. On this account it is unsafe to sit a in the corner or lean against the sides of a ' room during heavy electric discharges. Itt is also dangerous to stand before a mirror ' -the quicksilver and gilt of which is ai good conductor of lightning ; indeed the It presence of all metalie substances should t be avoided on the same principle, U The safest position ima house,as regards ' lightning, is in bed, the feather. of which f it is composed being a bad conductor of I electricity.-lt is said that no person 'nas I eveyr been struck by lightningin' this pos~i- r tion, unless their limubs were in: contact with the frame. As a proof of this re- I remark, we once saw a house, containing t twenty-five persons,-llterally torn to pidees tI by lightning, without iatjury to any one. I They were all in bed.
