Conjugal Affection- nn<

j Hon. Horace Mann, in his eulogy upon

instances of conjugal att'ection, in connection
with the last illness of the deceased:

scions ness and reason, lie seized her hand onj

Even when his mind wandered, this grasp ! 10
of affection was unclenched. Death only j
relaxed it. The swelling of the disease rem
had closed his eyes, and it was beyond the of I
power of muscular construction to open nijn
them, lie desired to have them opened

foundation, there are also atVeetions, sympathies,

separable from it; allied to it by a more

paper, and supports the Pieree A
ng tiekct The paper is well printed and
itoriids tolerably well written. No doubt
i Kditor is unpractised, and inexperienced
i thoughtless, or he would not apply an
tract front the Holy Bible to himself,
ion his efforts should meet with their duo
vnrd. '
Wo copy the article, and trust our new
laborer will never be guilty of the like
tdetnennor again :

lefit of our readers, the farmer, the merint,
the mechanic, Ac., and for the benefit
Salisbury; and we hope, in the end, to
met with thnt pleasing and encouraging

AVI I, so it is. 'I he eleotion ia now over,
I the excitement ia over, and we deem thia
appropriate time to agitate a aubject we
'e long thought of; why do wo not have
Agricultural Society at Laneaater?
n a number of the Districts of our own
ite, in Georgia and Florida, Agricultural
:ietiea are built up and auatained, and we
really eurpriaod the aubject liaa not en.
fed the attention of our farmer*. We
hear eome little aaid about the matter
i Summer, and hope that the thing w ill
v go on. What aay our farm era to holda
public meeting in the Court House on
aubiect next aale day f
ggTlr had occurred to us before, that it
nld probably be a good idea to continue
extra aeaaion of the Legislature, so aa to
?raee the regular Session. The '-Caro.
sn" recommends thLa plan, and we accord
b the views set forth by that paper. The
evening time betiwa the adjournment of
flfc
the extra session, and the assembling oftho cin
i regular session, could be as well enapteyed eiu
though being in the month of November, as 15
it could bo in the month of IVcember. And (jK
their being sutlicient business before the a|j)
legislature, as to compel them to prolong
the term of the extra session,so as to bring
in the time of assembling of the regular session,
it Would not conflict with the law made
and provided, callingjthc Legislature to* be
, gethor on the fourth Monday in Novembers
From (hr (VvWumw.
Legislative
Tlic approaching special session of tho int
Legislature hns suggested to ms and to oth- ^
ers tho great propriety of continuing that
session without adjournment, so that tho ^
sitting v.iJl embrace the period of the commencement
of the regular session. There
are weiirhtv and imnerative considerations
which should induco our legislators elect Cai
to adopt the suggestion and to make the Sol
necessary arrangements therefor. Ly:
The subject of dividing tho State into ru
Congressional districts, in conformity with
the new apportionment, is one which will (Jo
occupy a large share of tho time ordinarily
allotted to a session of the legislature.
Tho arrangement and classification of the u
districts will, beyond question, evolve considerable
discussion, and many days must
elajpse before an adjustment can take place.
It is a subject, too, which requires calm
and mature deliberation, as its ultimate
classification is a matter of tho highest im- 1
portanco to ulmost ever)' district in the
State. The matter cannot bo satisfactory
ly or equitably settled until the claims of 1
districts, and the many points bearing
thereon, are carefully weighed and impar- jjc
tially examined.
Another question of importance will be
tho rc-charter of the Hank of tho State. an'
We take it for granted that tho people of J
the Slate have decided in favor of its recharter,
and tho expiring charters of the '
old banks, together with applications for now
institutions, will force the necessity of <
settling the question of the rechartcr of ,
the Hank of the State. Then comes up m,
tho whole banking system?on what plar ]
hanks be incor]x?ratcd, and the various incidental
questions attaching to a remodel- J
ing of the private banking system, must, ,
of necessity, consume days and weeks of
the time of tlie session. Legislation on \
such an important subject had far better ^1

. V .V? i( tin mm ?. niiuimi in' IIHMV
or unmatured. The consequence* of an
ill-digested banking law might l?c, and Rn
probably would be, disastrous to all in- |
tereats. i
The question of changing cither the
time of the sitting of the legislature or j
of changing the mode of casting the elcc
P mU
toral vote of the Suite, will, it is reasonable
to presume, be brought befonf the '
legislature. The question, together with "v
the collateral issues sure to spring up, will !
elicit, perhaps, ono of the most important 1
discussions ever had in our General As- ? i
scmbly. Such measures can not be pasraJjflCu
lightly upon, and it will require the mo^qi^
matuve deliberation of our Senators nui^Lp
Representatives, wul)i all the coolness, wis^j)
doin ar.d^ndgnic'ir<U
It would inde<HU>Ot^p^XV-wise hut pound
foolish economy. Gentlemen legislators, j
you liavo sought the honor of serving the
iteonle of SoutUeLaroliiia, and you cannot
be faithful to thuM^ if you |?cnuit your
interest orconvcE^^^to stand in the way ^
of a eonseientioR^^^Bargc of the duties
you have assuuidD^HBU cannot honestly
discharge those dHDn the brief apace
of eighteen or twc^^lays. U,:
The present suggestion may jtowihly <
interfere with the lawyers who may be j
members, but thoy can be spared for the
few days necessary to attend their rcapec- ^
live circuits. This is but a small affair
compared with the groat interests at stake.
and wc must believe that mine of them '
would inter|>ose such a trivial objection.
The chief cause of our usual short sessions <
is the anxiety of members to be at hoinc
during Christinas and New Years lioli- ?n,

u?;?. i'\ iiuo|)un^ me present suggestion

they will have ample time to reach home
before those festive season*. Besides, we
feol very certain they will sit down to F
their well-filled tables with a better appetito?their
conscience not upbraiding tliem
with dercliotion and defection to their con- <
stHuency,
We earnestly trust that this suggestion mc
will l?e conscientiously considered by the
members elect There are few of them 1
but who can inakc flying visits to their
families during tho session, the facilities of
travel being now so great; and when they
reflect on tho almost absolute necessity of mi
a protracted session, we feel confident they (
will agree with us. Brethren of tho press,
