It laid aside, however,. for the night, such is not' the case, as all can. bear-witness who are in the habit of doing so. Another argument in- favor of the practice, may be derived from its clean liness. The garment being. suspended in the air during the night, becomes ve'ntilated and in a measure purified, and in warm weather when moist from the perspirable matter, is dried. No fear of "catching cold" needle en tertained in adopting this plan .the timid may be confidently assured;,that those who wear flannel during theday only, are much less obnoxious to all diseases of the chest. Many good and sufficient proofs of the general benefit of woolen next to the sure face might be adduced, but they are such as have been frequently presented to the public. My object in this brief essay, has been to draw-the attention of ray agricul. tural brethren to one or two points which I regard as of considerable importance, and which though well establiihed among the intelligent of, the medical profession, are not so well known as they should be, to the people at large. Hereafter I may take op other subjects of a kindled nature. 1) EDMUs. The Nations without Fire.-According, to Pliny, fire for along time-was unRnown to some of the ancient-Egyptians;'and when Exodus, the celebrated- astronomer showed it to them, they were absolutely in raptures. The Persians, Plhenicians, Greeks, and several other nations, acknowledged their ancestors were once without the use of fife, the Chinese confessed the same of their progenitors. Pomponius. Nela Plutark, and other ancient authors, speak of nations who, at the time they.wrote, knew not the use of fire, or bad but just learned ir. Facts of the same kind are also attested by sev eral modern nations. The inhabitans of the Marian Islands, which were discovered in 1551, had no idea of fire.-Never was astonishment greater than theirs, wheu-they saw it, on thedescent of Maghellen in one of their islands. At first they 'believed it to be some kind of animal that fixed itself to, and fed upon wood. The inhabitants of the Phillipine and Canary Islands were formerly equally ignorant. Africa presenth even in our day, some nations in this de plorable state.-Philad. Sat. Courier. Vegetation of the Great West.- Two rusty-looking Hoosiets were yesterday passing through Natchez street at a slow pace, looking at nothing in particular and every thing in general. Among other pla cards poste'l up on the walls, they noticed one referring to the celerated- sculptural painting now being exhibited in this city. and in very large "eaps," in allusion tothe artist of the work of whose pencil it is, was the following conspicuous line "The Production of the Great West." "Whew! " says one fellow, giving a long whistle of surprise. then striking his brown hat against his thigh, and after a loud guilaw, culling to his companion " Why, look here, Jed ; jest look here ! I'm blamed if these here city folks can't tell the largest ktnd of whoppers-larger than Bill Sprout, and he told such Al mighty large ones that it took all the re jistered votes in Illinois to swallow one on 'em! Jest look here, where someeritter says that 'ere pi:ture is the production of the Great West! Now I reckon 'I know them diggins as well as most folks. I know the Great West produces tators and corn, and bar-meat and eatin' fixins gener ally; hut when a feller tells me they grow picturs thar, large as life and twice as nat ural-i'm of -N. 0.

In heSetmate on motion of Mr. King, a resolutioni was adopted, calling on the Se cretary of the Navy for information as to the state of the defences in Florida ; also as to the practicab~ility- of a landI connec tion across the Peninsula - * Mr. Semple offered a reso~ution.

On motion of Mr. Benton, a resolution was adopted, calling for furthor informa tion relative to Pea Patch rsland. A fter the reception of numerous reports on private claims, the bill for the relief of Edward Kenard, was debated end passed. The remainder of the day was spent in Executive. Session. I am told that thie nomination of Mr. Proffit was rejected. - -It. is,said that Mr. Rives will-shortly take strong ground in favor of Mt.-Clay. In the House, a resolution was adopted, calling for detailed information. telative to the expences of the Flosida Squadron; also. for copies of charges against Lient. McLaughlin, as.Commauder of the Squa dron. .t appears .that McLaughlin'wont ouepoor, and returned much richer than his, pay would appear to warrant. He acted a portiotn of the time aspurser to the Squadron, and rumor says he did tnot ne glect his owvn purse. If incorrect, howe-v er, he will now have an opportunity for proving it. . Mr. Parmenter, from jhe Naval Corn tmittee, reported a hill forthie relief of Wi-: dlows and Orphans of those who -were lost in the United States Schooner Grampus. About a week ago, Mr. Geddings sue ceeded in getting referred to the. Commit tee on the 1)istrict, a Memorial- from N.

The Saluda Mill near Columbia, no of there; which brought under the ammtner, sixty thousand dollars; [$60,000; ot toy any mea s a sacrifice considering he times, fur it a sura n ithin $20,000 of that it would cst to erect an'd put in up ratinuqtci an establishmen, and I he igve I niay.dfely make th assertion thai1 hroughout Virgiria, North Carolina, S. turolina, and Georgia, with probably a ingle exception,.there was not'a Factory tosed or put under the necessity of tun ling short time.. rhus much for the sta ility of manufacturing investments at the nuth. All the Southern Cotton Facto Dries are now doing a profitablo business, nd I believe I will be sustained by those ogaged in it in the assertion, that this articular occupation has not had more han its share of the embarrassment, that as recently attended every other pursuit. The erection of the first Cotton Mill in outh Carolina, except one, taty be dated 0 1833. Since. which, period, fourteen ave been erected, and I believe there has eon no instance of. failure to produce fair eturns for sapital invested where the par ies were not embarrassed by indebtedness r the estabishotent of such property, and ave the business a proper share of.per unal attention. It is: true that this species f pro'perty a not'as convertible into mo ey as land and negroes, but it is more roductive and less liable to depreciate in alue. . Itwill appear from the above that four tn Cotton Factories have been put in recessful qperation in- South Carolina in e last tenye.ars; five years of which time re may sal, has been lost to all enterprise. 'rom this Thewing, I think we nmay fairly ome to the conclusion, that the ice is now roken ; aid what may we not anticipate 9 the restM of the coming ten years 1 Al ay we l(arn that a'ptnpany of English etlemet/, possessing -some milliorns of spital, hive reesntly purchased large wa: tr privileges in tie upper part of this State. r the puipose of establishing ntanufaeto es,-and ihls saii,-that a wealthy and en trprising gentleirian of Charlestoo, is no w asing-esimates made in Paterson, N.

Frea-the Farmers Cabinet. WEARING FLANNEL. Health to the farmer, as to all others, is consideration of the first importance. but we find hi-n more carelFss on this point han almost any other -class, probably be ause his habi's and pursuits, best entitle im, by the itniutable laws of nature. to he largest share of its blessings. Active xercise in the open air, frugal re ,imen, nd the absencef tnany causes of mental i'quietude, are all favorable to the main miance of health. Still there are many rrors unwittin'gl committed, which if cur esed upon the philosophical principles muld tend to the lessening of human ill. With a view to correct one -or two errors. rhich I conceive to exist, I beg leave to uggest a few hintsiespecting the necessity, nd iroper mode of wearing flannel. Flannel, I consider, should be norn at II times ; and that wearing it promotes in i-idual comfort. In this latitude, it is robable that to the majority of persons, s use the year rotnd, would be far more greeable than otherwise, if the texture of he material .he changed to correspond wviab he season. Many. however, will prefer isharging it in sumnmer, and thts may tat ny time be done with impunity, by others hait invalids. The idea of flannel renderittg its wetarer l'eminate, has been prejutdicial to its free se. ri'nd to health. Thte covering of all nimals, except oprown species, is adapt d to their ne~eessities. sullicient at all times affdord-thIem protection fiotm the ordinbary iisitudes of the weather.. That we require clothking all agree; lei s rterefore imitate natuire, by usinig sulli: nd the opposite of effeminney will be the osequece. Another false impression exists, of the ager of leaving it calf wheat it becomnet esirable to do so. When the weather is uch that the wearer would feel bettet without i't, no fear- need be apprehended ini elinquishing it at any moment. So fat mded from much being the case, I cannot 1) strongly recommend the practice ol sying i aside at -night, an'i sleeping in s ottont night shirt. The primary object of rearing flannel under clothing, is to pre hve the body at a comfortable and uni irm temperature. Wool being of a light reighit and an imperfect conductor of heat., Sthe best material to convert into such armebcts, hbut at night it is not-required fot be sake of warm t. An individual in tbie ttriior of a close d welling, is not exposed athe same vicissitudes of cold end heat s he is when pasn abroad, to atnd fro, miing 'tho day, whilst thes covering thta an be at pleasttre increased, afitrds am e protect ion from too. low a tnmperature; ence flannel is not necess.ary in bed. But saving it oft'(or that period, contveys posi ive advantages. .Onq of the benefits ofi lannel, is the friction it excites on the skin, etermining the blood to the surface andi romnoting a general circulation of the vital luides to the extreme piarts of the system.

AGRICULT[UR A L. From thc Temperance Adcoeate. DOM lS''IC INDUSTRY. The Agricultural Survey now in progress a in South Carolina, has deservedly excited I much interest, and its results cannot fail to il produce lasting advantages; but, however c enthusiastic a few individuals may be on h the subject of the improvement of the soil, ti and the advancement of Agricnture -in e South Carolina, the great tmassof our peo- a pie will not cone into the measure, while d there is an absence of other stimulants t' than the prospect of mire increase of such, e Agricultural products us are made by the rotative system of farming, adapted to the r improvement oflaud. A home market at every man's door is the stimulant desired, and this can only be brunght about by.do- 8 nestic manufactures, diversifying pursutts, a thus stimulating emigramtiou of population and capital to, instead of permitting it to a leave our State. If this he the case, we d should not be unmindful of its importaoce, P and while we are endeavoring to excite d the-cultivators of the soil to action'on the a one, we should not be forgetful of the ne- E cessity of laying before our capitalists, the i advanitage to he derived,. from the other,d anid at least ini the abseuce of the know- a edge of facts, abstain fromn unjustly dis-t crediting this sort of enterprise.. To those who have investigated the sub- e ject, it is a matter of wonder and surprise, that the manufacture of Cotton was nota first established ini the Southern, insteade of the Northern States. To such, the con.-t elusion is irresistible, that outr advantages, (in climtnet, water power, slave labor, so adcrmirabsly adap~ed to suceh purposes, amndu above all, the raw materiail on the spot.)e are such us to secutre success with an ordi-a nary share of enterprise. Lot the mnanu. facture of this article be fairly introducedi, and every other branch of mechanism will follow. Am in the. bmprovemont of ourd lands, eo is the establishmtent of manufac tures, we have much to contend wvith. The indomitrable thirst. on the part of ourr planting cnpitalists. for investrmn~ts in land and negroes, and a disposition on the par t of those of our trading commaunity who I have had the good luck~ t.2 amass fortunes, either to trunafer ther- capital to other.i countrice, or to be content to lock it up n S interest-hearing stock, will operatc to.- its fI prejudice, until it catn he demonstratted be voud a doubt..that sneh pursuits.tmay bie Ieutered inmo with a perfect certainty of success.. We masy approximate to this t by a reference oto t pst, aiti comtparinlg tihe cotton growing; States with countries t that have grown rich by ma-nufacitribe. Trhis will at !east show, that those etngaged '. in this branch of business at the Souith,e have sustained themnselves fully as wel'asn in other countries.
