His illness was of several weeks dura'.ion, and was borne with fortitude and resignation. Judgo 13itliCk has, during his official career, filled various offices of high trust and public importance, lie was born in 1798^ graduated in tho South Carolina College in 1817, and was admitted to the bar in . . . .i 1HI8. lie was elected a Law Judge in 1833, and, in his administration of the law and justice, none were more highly es- : teemed and receded. In 184C, ho was j olwoted to tlie U. S. Senate, and at once . <ook a high posiiu At the time of hi* , ( death, he was Chairman of the Committee I . ou the Judiciary, and his reports were al- ] most always concurred in. The deep feeling and gloom which per- j v.kJoU tlic public mimJon tins sad announce , went attest the hold ho had upon the esteem i- ' affections of the people. Social ly, he was inferior to no man, and his eiuineut ability had made a reputation for him ; co-extensive with the country, of which nny 1 ( man might be proud. South Carolina had not laid aside the mantle of mourning for her Brooks, ere she wraps herself in it again aria uewaus me uenme or ujg much I loved, pure-minded and distinguished But- 1 xkr. ' Inquest , The body of a negro man named Ben, J belonging to Mr. G. W. Liddkll, was ex- j hurned on Tuesday last, and an inquest , held over it by order of W. J. G xxrr, Esq. : . Coroner of the district. The jury, after a ( ( full and thorough investigation, returned a . verdict that the deceased came to bis death j by iho visitation of God. The Court of Equity, For this circuit, commenced ita session ' * i ni Kdgegeid C. II., on Monday last, Chan* ( ceilor Daroak presiding. Court will be | held for this district on Monday the 29th ^ inls. There are several cases of importance on the docket to bo heard. Hay. It is a fact not generally known perhaps ( that soma of our citizens are ordering hay | , from Charleston ! The scarcity of fodder ' is the cause. Another year, however, we ! . might be prepared for a ' short crop" of: ( provender, by curing hay this season our- > i selves. The pea vuight also bo cultivated with profit for this purpose. We only con- I ceive it necessary to call the attention of our farmers to this fact, to pretant a recur- i rencc of a like state of affairs. Only the > , .

It has certainly been prepared with . much care and labor. Mr. Likukh furn- ! , iguvo oviiiv atnu^iivo ill vu^ il^" ' ( ricultural division. The cost of the fence in this State is set down at $7,046,500, and has to be renewed every ten yeara. lie ; ] intimates, therefore, that it is cheaper to i . fence up the stock than the grain field*. | Here.it would be onerous and burdensome, i . but, in the low country.it would doubtless j bo cheapest. Tho value of our stork, according to the censiu returns of 1850, was ' j fcl 5,060,005. as follows: horses >90,171, i asses and mules >37,483, milch cows >193,91 i wr>rL-i nor ntnn it9ft sn*7 nllmr n*ti]n i $563,935, sheep $285,651, swino $1,005,603. The increased value of copper is also astonishing. For the year 1850 it increased in value over $ 150.00 per ton, and is alvras in b-isk demand ! Fate of Gen. Walkor. Gen.

Thodry pood market is also well' supplied, and n brisk business going on. Iler tuochanics, too, are up with the times in their respective vocations.

From i reliable source, we learn that a portion of the corporators of the town of Anderson bave pledged themselves to build the road from Savannah river to that place. Tbi* they are able to do, although they have contributed most liberally to other enter- i prises. Anderson has a bright future be- j fore her, and her enterprising cilizcus have the forethought to improve it. This road is designed to connect, on the | iir liue principle, the Northern and South- j srn lines of railroad alieady constructed. ; [t commences at Atlanta.

These are altogether disproportionate to the agiicullurnl products Of the country. "Wo ennnot look for any substantial find permanent reaction, till larger amounts of capital and a much greater number of energetic young men are withdrawn from other pursuit* ami concentrated upon agriculture.
