P. lti,"rt.BR, Senator in Con- ^ press from this State, died at his homo in Edgefield district, on tho 25th ult. of drop- j hy of tho chest. Ilia illness was of several j weeks duration, and was borne with forti vuuo uuu luaiLJiiiiuuii. Judge lJm'LiCU has, during his official ca- ' rcor, filled various offices of high trust ami I public importance, lie was born in 1708, t graduated in tlio South Carolina College , in 1817, and was admitted to tho bar in 1 1818. lie was elected a Law Judge in 1833, and, in hi3 administration of tho law | nnd justicc, none wcro more highly esteemed and rejected. In 1840, ho was ol?oled to tlio U. S. Senate, and at once nok a high position. At the timn of Mr death, he was Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary, and his reports wcro almost always concurred in. Tho (loop fooling and gloom which pervaded the public mindon this sad announce ment attest tho hold ho had upon the esteem and affections of the people. Social ly, ho was inferior to no man, and his eminent ability had made a reputation for him co-oxteosivo with tho country, of which any man might be proud. South Carolina hail not laid aside the mantle of mourning for her Brooks, ero she wraps herself in it again and bewails the demise of the much loved, pure-mimicJ and distinguished Buti.kh. Inquest. The bod)' of a negro man named 13en, belonging to Mr. G. \V. Liddeix, was exhumed on Tuesday last, niul an inquest held over it by order of W. J. Gantt. Esq. Coroner of tlio district. Tlio jury, after n till 1 mid thorough investigation, returned a verdict that tho deceased caino to his death by tho visitation of Cod. The Court of Equity, For this circuit, commenced its session at Edgegold C. IT., on Monday last, Chan* eellor Dahoan presiding.

It is a fact not geuorally known perhaps that somo of our citizens arc ordering hay from Charleston ! Tho scarcity of fodder id llio cause. Another year, however, we might be prepared for a ' short crop" of provender, by curing hay this season ourselves. The pea might also bo cultivated with profit for this purpose. Wo only con ceivo it necessary to call the attention of our fanners to this fact, to prevent a recurrence of a like state of affairs. Only tlie tho other day, we saw n load of ''Northern hay" passing up to Cashier's Yallev, N. C. It 13 rti unilsual ooourrcnoc, iiull 1 should serve to tench us a valuable lesson in the economy of farming. The Snrve/ The publication of Mr. T</v.iiek's mineralogical, geological and agt iciltural report of last year, is likely to bo productive of considerable advantage to tno state at | largo. It lias certainly been prepared with much caro ami labor. Mr. Likkbii furnishes some interesting statistics in the Agricultural division. The cost of the fence in this State is sot o >wn at $7,948,500, and has to be renewed every ten years. lie intimates, therefore, that it is oheapor to fence up tho stock than tho grain field*. Here, it would be onerous and bnrdcnsomo, but, in the low conntry.it would doubtless bo cheapest. Tho value of our stock, according to the census returns of 1850, whs ^15,060,005. as follows: horsos $90,171, nsscs arid mules $37,483, milch cows $193,244, working oxen $20,507, o'\er cattle $563,935, sheep $285,651, swino $1,005,603. Tho increased value of copper is also astonishing. For tho year 1 850 it incrcns- j ed in vnlue ovc.- $160.00 per Ion, niul is al- 1 was in brisk domand ! Fate of Gen. Walker. Gen.

With a foroftight especially ??are, her citizens have not ventured their means upon uncertainties J but now, when a profitable trade is within their grasp, they aro preparing for it in \ their usual quiet and ctVcctivo manner.? i Already wo hear of stores, in tlio grocery line, being opened, with others in the drug trado now doing a good business. The dry good market is also well supplied, and a brisk business going on. Her mechanics, too, are up wi'h the times in their respective vocations. The improvement, in building has not manifested itself hero to that extent no, II I ? ? - ** uceauie eisewnere, out more tlian one thing lias conspired to prevent it. A largo number of tho lots'in the place nro not under tbo control of residents, and lience has cramped more or less tbo work of improvement.

The recent election in Virginia, for Congressmen and members of the Legislature has resuituu hi a victory to the Democratic party by an increased majority.

The Furman University subscribed its theological fund of $30,000, V. McBku, Esq. $10,000, Rev. Mr. Boyck $10,000, and the balance in smaller amounts. The Air Line Railroad. The friends of this euterpriso aro most zealous in forwarding its interests. From a reliable source, wc learn that a portion of the corporators of the town of Anderson have pledged themselves to build the road from Savannah river to that place. This they aro ablo to do, although they havo contributed most liberally to other enterprises. Anderson has a bright future bofore her, and her enterprising citizens have the forethought to improve it. This road is designed to connect, on the air line principle, tho Northern and Southern lines of railroad already constructed. It commcncos at Atlanta. Ga., running via Anderson to Newbery, and thence to Charlotte, in North Carolina. The South Carolina College. The South Carolinian says in reply to inquiries from abroad as to the slate of ilio College, wo can only say that a serious difficulty has <isted betweon President McCay and the professors and students, which has resulted in the resignation of the President.

These are altogether disproportionate to ^he agricultural products gf the country, " Wo ennnot look for any substantial and permanent reaction, till larger nmounts of capital and n much greater number of energetic young men ore withdrawn from other pursuit* and concentrated upon agriculture. 41 The general depression in commerce and manufactures at the present time, nnd the notive demand and high prices for nit {;re*tt agricultural staples, offers an excelOtlk OppOi luiiitjF fui inO plOuiuOIC irMIJhfer of h larjje amount of capital nv\ I luhpr PHhivatioo of the ^ Correspondence of the Charleston Standard.
