An ex-Governor is perfect- l|u ly willing to go to the Senate, or become Inspector of Customs, while an ex-Senator will condescend to become a tide waiter or "taster a of charcoal."

Ill man shun industry as he would the small pox. at The trial of Parker, Phillips, and others, ' for creating a riot in Boston, on the famous occasion of the "redition of Burns" was commenced in Boston on the 8d, before Judjres ^ CI Curtis and Sprague. They were defended by ^ John P. Hale and other leading freesoil men. ^ The defence moved that the indictments be |i( quashed on various grounds, one of which t(] was, that the U. S. Marshal, Mr. Freeman, who summoned the jury, was a party alleged to have been assaulted, and therefore not an indifferent party to the trial. A letter from Havana to the .New York i Journal of Commerce says : "The stranger at P' Havana should not fail to visit the fish market.

Our new Jail is now completed, and a9 it lias been received by the Commissioners of Public Buildings, we suppose' the work has been done in a satisfactory manner. It is a beautiful building, reflecting equal credit on the Commissioners and our townsman Capt. Thomas II. Smith, the architect. We congratulate our worthy Sheriff on his removal from the old to the new building, and hope it will prove a oleasant retreat to him during his term of office.? Wc have no doubt a fandango of some kind, from the Lord of the Mansion would not be at all objectionable to the young-bloods about town. Wc give it as our opinion that the occasion demands something of the kind, and trust that our Sheriff will be as prompt to discharge his social, as he is his official duties. We can now challenge the State to produce a better Court House and Jail than ours. They are both ry great, and their flavor, judging from the nds I tasted, is as rich and delicate as their les are brilliant. Though plenty, they bring gh prices?from fifteen to seventy-five cents ;r pound, because the market is still a pracjal monopoly, though no longer secured to e proprietor by government protection. The Ericsson experiment is at an end. he invention is conceded to be a failure, and >or Ericsson is a ruined man. He has spent 1 his fortuue in buildiug his caloric ship and the experiments he has made on the vessel, e has done more, he has spent all his wife's rtune, which was great, and she too is begired. But the worst of all is that it has led such recrimination and alienation that they ive separated, never to be united again perips. Had he been successful, his name ould have beeu enrolled with that of Coluuiis, Newton, Fulton, and other men of illusious renown. But he has failed; he has lost s all; he has introduced ruin iuto a once lovg and hippy home; and the world coldly oks on and says : "I told you so." l\n gatibillf inquirer. edited bv AM'L W. MELTON JOHN L. MILLER. YORKVILLE, S. C. THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 12, 1855. THE CALHOUN MONUMENT. Our esteemed friend, W. 1$. Wilson, Esq., lms faired us with the engraving of a monument propo 1 to be erected in the city of Charleston, to Hi emory of our lamented Caliiovn. Without onter\ g into an elaborate description of the monument, c will simply say the conception of the design i; fine taste, and when completed will redound to tin mor of the State. Let us rejoice that we can tliu? stify our regard for him whose name shines hrightt in our annals. We had hoped that the Legislare of the State, would, ere this, have manifesto! ? gratitude hy some fitting memorial for such sigil services and patriotic devotion; but every at- j mpt of the kind has proved utterly abortive, and is now a duty and obligation on us as citizens ot e State, to show our appreciation of his worth.? 11 association lor this purpose has been formed in e city of Charleston, and we trust it will be proseted to a successful termination. It is a narrow and mistaken view to suppose that mnmcnts in commemoration of illustrious chanters and actions are designed to perpetuate then me. Could we, if we desired, erect n monument tose structure would be more durable than tin me of Calhoun. The monumental pile would umble into dust, while his name would still daz7l? al blaze in the firmament of glory. The prime obit in erecting a monument to Calhoun, is to show at we still cherish his peerless name, and adhere the great principles illustrated in his life with ' ch ability and statesmanship. The silent appeals j such a memorial,'the recollections which it sug- | ;sts, would be well adapted to keep alive such sen- j ments, and dispose us the more willingly to em- ! ace those great political truths, which must soon or later be recognized as the true theory of our iverracnt. Who, that is at all acquainted with tin story of our Government for the last half century. ?uld look with coldness and indifference at the onuiuent, designed to commemorate the mighty ,'hievements of the master intellect of the nineteenth mtury ? ltising in simple and unadorned gran?ur, it will be a voluminous compend of the most irring events in the history of the American Cnn to distunt generations, and the most thrilling nsiciations will hover around it in all future time.? be day is very far distant, when any true son of irolina can point to it and say, there stands the onument to the great Calhoun," without a thrill | exultation. .May we not hope the day is equally j r distant when his name will not he considered a ; ible heritage to the State, exciting a feeling of just j ide in her citizens that they stand in such intimate j lation^hip to him as Carolinians. There can hi < doubt but it would exert a most healthful influ- ' ce on us a people and State. We have taken the liberty of bringing this sub- , * ' :t to the attention of our readers, believing they | mid respond to whatever of good might be said ol ; i illustrious Calhoun, and who wc believe still re- j ins his pre-eminent place in the affections and art of the State of South Carolina. We would ; n hope that York District will not be found lag- | rig in this great enterprise, but that she will freely ad her aid in the erection of such a monument as ill be a fit emblem, of the virtues and exalted pub: worth of her greatest statesman. 8?gu Subscriptions will be received at the Yorklie Enquirer office and forwarded to the Chavlosn Association. CHARLOTTE ADVERTISEMENTS. Messrs Bkem & Steele, have now ou hands and instantly receiving, the finest assortment of goods c best markets afford. They have the best arran;d store-room wc have ever seen in the up-country, hich is at all times well lined with the choicest ?ods of the season. We would recommend one and 1, particularly such of our readers as trade in liarlotte, to give them a call. See Advertisement, j Messrs Fiutciiabd & Cvldwei.l's Drug Store may ell claim a place in the picture. They are both ex;rienced Physicians and no doubt their Drugs are leeted with care and can be relied on as pure and ladulterated. See Advertisement. Messrs. Lowry & Enniss offer a rich treat to their iends and patrons in the way of choice Books. We :amined their stock and could have selected a fine nary with very little trouble, and at as little cost any other establishment out of the cities. Those lio are fond of reading would do well to give them a 11, and such as have no'desire of the kind should by I means call, as it might inspire the taste, and use them to spend some profitable hours otherwise voted to idleness. Mr. S. W. Davis, is a young Lawyer of consider>le promise, and has the confidcnco and esteem of 1 who know him. Business can be safely entrusted him. See Card. Mr. Boone of the Boot and Shoe Emporium, ofrs a large stock of articles in his line, to which he vites the attention of persons wishing to purchase : wholesale or retail. He does not promise to save lea but he will furnish new ones to order. When iy of our readers, visit Charlotte, please give him a ill. Mr. John* Habit, it will be seen by his card, is igaged in the manufacture of all kinds of vehicles. Ir. II., is known to many of our citizens, and anyling that we might say commendatory of his estabsliment, would be almost superfluous from the fact lat others know him as well as wc do. It is unnecesary to say anything about "Sadler's otel," as everybody knows Sadler. "THE COMMONWEALTH." We have received the third number of a paper rblished in Canton Miss., bearing the above title, lited by Mr. Owen Van Vacter. It presents a try neat appearance, while its editorials have a anliness, and independence of tone that must comand respect. Mu. Van Vacteh is a bold and vigoris writer of the Democratic school, and ifcomrauudg talent will ensure success we predict for the Coinm wealth a brilliant career. We cheerfully extend him the hand of fellowship and take pleasure in acing the Commonwealth on our exchange list. The steamer Sau Jaciuto, it is said, has en ordered to the West Indies to cruise iu the igbborhood of Cuba large anil commodious, and well adapted to the comfort of the unfortunate inmates of either?believing the term un fortunate, to be as applicable to the one as the other. The Commissioners of Public Ituild ngs have been dilligcnt in the prosecution of their work, ami richly deserve, as they will no doubt receive the hearty commendation, "well done," from the entire District. ! ?! [Written for the Yorkville Enquirer.] COTTON CULTURE. The planter should study Agriculture as a science, md make himself master of its general principles? hut in attention to its practical minute details, lies I the field of failure or success. lie should not discard books or agricultural journals, but test them by the lelsonsof cxncricnee and the dictates of sound itulir ment. Be scientific, but practical, is the true max- ; :m ; all the details of agriculture arc but the doduc- 1 tions of science. Upon these however, different opin- j ions exist in all of its branches, and especially in the i culture of cotton. By a more frequent interchange j Vopinion through the columns of a public journal j ?s to the respective system pursued, with the reasons \ therefor, mutual benefit may result. Experience lias ; omniendcd to us the following : First, (and as essential) prepare the ground by leep and thorough ploughing, and leave no space unbroken between the furrows. 1 lie usual depth of j ploughing is from .'1 to -1 inches?it should be from fc 'o 10. On old land, with a stiff clay subsoil, lir.-t | open a furrow with Nm Twister, then follow with! j the "Brovlcs Subsoil 1'lough," drawn by two mule-", ' to the depth of 1J inches.\l'hc result will be a loose mellow bod to the depth of r& inches?moisture will be retained to be given out to the plant in seasons of | drought?the subsoil will be raWdly disintrgeated and improved by the action of theNitmosphore and 'mpregnated with ammonia by every shower. Main dinners have really bettor land six iVl.% s below 'he surface than that which they ciiltivatX if they would only work down to it. Their fee simpi^ ex I tends to the centre of the ? a rib,' ut praeti?\jh, ; Miey own about four inches. \ The seed should not bo planted boft.ro lii<' April: by that time the weather becomes settled an-1 the earth warm?the plant soon conic* tip. prov. -' ..IT vigorously and will mature earlier than that planted j on the 10th. About the middle of April we usually ' have a hartl beating rain?the plant cones up .-lowly j and is injured by the cold weather, and a bad -tan I j :s the result. Last year 1 planted part of my crop ..n the hbh of April?1 had to replant, with the exception of half an acre : this did not mature as early the remainder of the crop which was planted between the 2i)th and -7th. The seed should be sown at the rate of three hu-liI els per acre, and covered with the harrow, un!e-s it ; is in loose light soil, then tiic notched hoard is prefer1 ahle. The first ploughing should begin when the I third leaf makes its appearance, with a board so attached to the plough, as to throw the dirt from the cotton, and admit the sun to the roots. A few days after, commence chopping out with the hoes, leaving i .'rout otic to three stocks in a place. The distance in ... > the drill must depend upon the quality of the soil. For instance?on poor land, S inches; on g 1. 1". inches, and on very rich land, ^0 inches. About a week after the hoes start, the ploughs should follow, ind with a mould board throw as much earth to the j cotton as the hoes have removed. Next burst out the middles with the Buzzard, and then thin to a stand? one stock in a place. In this operation the negroes should he closely watched?it is a turning point in ; the crop?for a good stand is essentia!. The land should be laid off in tasks, so that the careless hand : can be detected One acre is as much as a hand can i I thin properly in a day ; for much of the cotton has to j be thinned out with the fingers. When a good stand is obtained ("each stalk at the proper distance, stand- j ing alone, on its own hook?with fair sea room to i spread its branches and mature its fruit) I consider : the crop as two thirds made. All subsequent plough- j ing should be done with the Sweep ; for if the ground was well prepared before planting, surface culture is all that is necessary. At this stage deep ploughing will break up the lateral rootlets of the plant, causing it to shed if the season is a dry one, or to grow too rapidly if it sets in wet. The only objection to j ! the Sweep is that by its thorough pulverization of the ' ! surface, washing rains are more injurious, but this i | can be prevented by subsoilingand by bill-side ditch- ! I ing, and there can he no good tillage of a cotton crop unless the surface soil is kept well pulverized. This I plan however does not answer well in very broken, | rocky land. Cotton should ho topped by the liist of August, if j there is sufficient moisture in the ground. Instead of pinching off the top hud. give each hand a knife and i take off six inches. 1 have tried this plan atid the old one, and find it much the best. 15y topping late in August, more bolls are made for Jack Frost's fingers than your own. In the selection of seed it is all important to obtain such as will mature earliest i and produce a fine staple ; to wit: The l'roct, the ! Calhoun, and Jethro. In this latitude cotton has on- j ly six months to mature in from the time it is plant- ! ed, and often half the bolls, if not more, are killed I ' by the frost. This evil can be in a great degree re- | I medied by a proper selection of seed and by avoiding ! ! an over-crop. To hasten the maturity of the plant, j 1 never let it suffer for work, but keep it constantly growing. Sometimes a few days delay in removing ! the grass and weeds will so check its growth as to j-cause irreparable injury, in case there is an early ! frost. Itl'STICCS. The British in the Crimea. One of the witnesses, a ship-master, examined be- j | fore the Robuck Committee, gave the following tcsj timony regarding his observations and information I obtained in the Crimea : "When 1 was there 1 was told of Lord Cardigan's | horse force?they could only muster fifty at the most. ; All their manes and tuils were eaten off. They had | ; eaten each other's muncsaiid tails off. The men were j ragged and very lousy, many of thein. I went into j the French camp.

P., will suiee to show what British sol- ! diers suffered from uriiocratie incompetency: "As to the state of ic men, their uniforms were : all in rags, aud they $emed to be in a state of ex- J treme dirt and misery. The condition of the infantry was even worse thjM' the cavalry, on account of i the greater distance ortheir encampment from Bala- j klava. Their uniforV, for the most part, were tut- , tercd, and generallytfcy wore great coats over their 1 uniforms, but their trusers were in rags, lie had seen men get hold of sndbags and wrap tlicin round I the lower part of thoi legs, as some protection a- ! gainst the mud and col.

Yesterday morning, says the Oharlestn Sfitwhinl of the Oth inst., about sevsm o'clock, a Mi A. from .St. Georges', Colleton District, was aceostc on King street, near Calhoun, by a person who reprt seated himself as from Columbia.

To this the letter r< plicl in the negative, hut e\press el a wish to see th ruins. Accordingly the newaequo intanoes set out tr wards the Citadel, and on arriving at the rear of tha building, weye saluted by another stranger who ha just found a pocket book, containing, apparently bills to a large amount, which they wished Mr. A. t take charge of until the owner could be found. T this, however, he objected. They then proposed tho Mr. A. should lend them twenty dollars and kre the pocket book as a guarantee, until tney co.tld r* turn the same, w hich they promised to do in th course of half an hour, at Mr. Wiley's store, and tlii proposal was urged with so much suavity and sm cos?, that Mr. A. acceded. Upon producing hi>poc'? et book, they took it from him and counted out th sum specified, according to their own method of reel; oiling, and returning it, hurried away. Fortunate! for Mr. A. he suddenly recollected having read of similar transaction in the Shnitianl which turned on to be u swindle, and being somewhat suspicious < tlie hasty manner of the strangers, he hailed tliom.Thev ran, and he ran after them. Finally he ovei took them in Elizabeth-street, where he eompelle tlicm to return the twenty dollars, upon the recoij .of which he returned io Mr Wiley's store.

Tim .Electron in Kansas. The telegraphic news of yesb rduy confirm, an more than confirms, the indications of the day befort It seems probable that not only ha> the pro-slaver ticket prevailed, but that not even a single Fret Soiler has been elected to the Legislature. This is most extraordinary and interesting result. When th Nebraska-Kansas bill was passed, we took it fo granted, that on tlie ordinary principles of rnlonizH tion, those Territories would bo filled up from th region that had the uiwt redundant population, an * it ' that all the South could possibly gain was in the ab- j , juration by Congress of the assumed light to dctcr' ' mine whether the Territorial Governments should, or 11 should not allow the existence of slavery, k ! Iiut it was not long al ter the passage of this bill, : that the scheming North, always knocking out it?n brains by collision with its own projects, determined ' j as a masterstroke of policy, to force the colonization c ! by a hired inundation of Abolition adventurers.? j So sure were they of success that tliev boasted of the nicaus, and all the world become acquainted with | i their purposes of coloniziug a pledged Abolition c* 1 population 011 the Western border of Missouri. This > o is the true secret of the rapid settlement of Kansas i _ by the slaveholders. They were challenged to a trial , of strength with the frcc-soilers, and the e take was u their own domestic peace and prosperity. They have " fought the lirst battle, and the result is ominous of i il ' the liual issue. They have gained a victory, in 1 < which the free-sutlers are notvltrre. j The South would not probably have contested this field at all, if the contest had not been forced upon j . them ; but when the struggle became inevitable, it is I glorious to sec how the spirit of the Kentucky and Mis- ! souri planters rose up, and with resistless force thev - planted the .Southern standard on tiie plains of Kansas. Ail honor to them! They have not only done ' e j an act wise in reference to this emergency, but they i I afforded a le.-.-oii that ne hope v.ill be long cherished ! i : aml'icpeutcd by the pcopie of the South. TUat ies- . ? I son is the righta; i I lie power of self-defence. There I , has never been a time when the whole South, united ! i i tor protection against agression, could not have a - chicvod a victory us complete as this in Kansas. The i s difficulty has been that we have had stumbling blocks : before ourselves; that we have divided and fought battles against each oth-.r, instead of against our one , niies ; that the war has been a -Irife in our own bosI sun, iustca I of at the points of our own weapons. ; i Cut this position ofKursas foreshadows*a great com0 i:ig coutest, for which we will do well to make pre] a- - | . ration. The Legislature of that Territory v.ill prob- . . ably pa.--: law* to prot .et the property of Slavc-hol- i : dors; Congress wii! refuse to sanction them, and so , Kansas will in a measure be outlawed. .\f no dis- j V tant time they will apply for admission into the I'nioii. j s and Congress will refuse it because their laws do not < ^ ! prohibit slavery.
