Agricultural Cowkxtiox.?The proteedings of this body wc have copied as far is they have been published in the Columbia japcrs. A great deal has not been aecora>Ii.-hed; nor cou'd a great deal have been vasoiiably expected from a first meeting of i he kind in the present state of agriculture in South Carolina. But the beginning of a gre;.t reform has been made ; or rather, a reform, j previously commenced in all pArts of tlic state J ^ill receive an impulse from the convention } that will hasten its progress. The first stop [ towards improvement in any business is a conviction that it is both needed and attainable. It is abundantly evident that this conviction, n regard to the state of agriculture in South Carolina, row prevails extensively, and i6 deepening and spreading in all parts of the state, more especially where agricultural pa. pers are most read. a t. ... ,1. to km-,, l-fiim jivnuctiii! in an larfp a i tic nno iu iiui i u.iu - ? ?.pv ? | body and in times of high political excitement | and party warfare, there were a few persons in tiie convention, whose heads were fillrd ; with other subjects than those bona fide agri I cultural,?subjects having in fact, properly no | more connection with agriculture, than the criminal code, or judiciary system of the state j or national Government. And as was to have i been equally expected, in a body composed j chit fly of pracin al common sense planters,! many of them among the most respectable and enlightened citizens of the state, such subjects when introduced, wore promptly laid on the taulc, there to sleep the sleep of death. Among the rep >rfcd proceedings of the House ot Representatives of this state on the :27th. Nov. we find the following, which we, copy seperately and conspicuously, for the purpose of manifesting our approbation of the course pursued by the Speaker and the House. Mr. Reid presented the Petition of sundry Citizens of this Stale, praying that the Legislature refrain from increasing the price o; Li. censes, and that they ue reduced to former rates. ?. n I. _ I I.. .? .1. . ,.f ,llfc I lit ?3pe;iK< r uriwgir i?? uiu ii'iiv 111 mi House a part of Hie Pciiliou, ami read lit' following wor..s ; -Wo are determined to abide I-) no such enactineuts and put the question, Will the House receive the IVti1011 ?

Mr. It. probibly consented to presen1 a petition threa ening reb? Uious resistance to to the laws of he state, only to give an opportunity of letting it be been that in South Carolina, such a petition would be treated as it deserved. Wc trust at least for the credit of j the state that this was his motive. Massachusetts Election.?Of the towns which, on the first trial, failed to naake a choice so many have elected Whig members as to give that party the decided ascendency in the House of Representatives. The vacancies in the Senate arising from no candidate having a majority of nil the votes cast in some of the towns, art? to be supplied by the House- Whigs will of course be chosen, and both branches will be Whig.? It is ascertained that Morton has not a majority of all votes given for Governor, and is therefore not elected. It therefore devolves on the House to select two out of the four having the highest number of votes, and on the Seiia'e :o choose from these two. Doth houses will of course choose Gov. Everett. Mr. Foster, U. S. Senator from Tennessee hiiS resigned, and Mr. Grundy, Aitorney General of the United States has been elected in his place. Morris's Silk Farmer, r.f Philadelphia says Owners of trees [in Pennsylvania] have abandoned all expectation of selling them at th#?ir tp:\ 1 va dp. and arp dptprminnd to ii.jp them as so much capital in the production of silk. At least one bundled cocooneries will be fitted up in the neighborhood of Philadelphia, the average product of which will be one hundred pounds of silk. Some individuals we know will not content themselves with raising less than five hundred pounds as a beginning. The result of the next year's operations will be to satisfy tree owners of the ab oluto value of their trees, which will be fo lowed by a determination not to sell, while at thes?me time, others will be stimulated to buy, for the same reasons which induce the former to hold on." The same paper advances the opinion that owing to the great quantity of siik which will certainly be made in the country next year, i and from that time, forward, and the large | profits which it will yield, "trees will sell for ; tx.-tirr prices a year or two h'-nce than they ' sell for now" the same paper also states that ; cocoons car. be so reeled as to coiutuaua ten 1 dollars in Trance. MULTIOAULIS.?SUPERIORITY OF I AROE CUTTINGS, AND SOUTHERN CUTTINGS.? Be- j fore last spring's plan ing, we entertain; d theoretical prejudice against very large cut- \ t.ngs; but experience, the only sure teacher in such matters, then set usrgtu. Soup what ' more thai an acre of the field which we were i planting, being extremely poor, it was laid oil*; in furrows 8 feet apart; in these furrows, at . intervals of 3 feet small spadefulls of rough ; unrotted stable manure were dropped ?nd dvided into two portions, from 3 to 5 inches j apart. These were then covered with the hoe, and one bud cuttings planted p<-rp*rui;CU> ! larly between them, with the upper end about ; two inched below the surface. Here were commuted two errors, which caused a very bad dtand. One was placing the manure, without j a mixture of earth and in sandy soil, so r.ear * the (tilting as to absorb the moisture trum arcund it when drought came; the otner, placing the lower end of the cutting, from wluch the roots spring, nearly or quite in con- j tact with the hard, unbrokt-n earth below, 1 which prevented the tender rootlets, w iio.se i tendency is downward, from penetrating. Cut- j t.n,rs bUi ill enough to be divided with a strong " j sharp pen kmf<*, were the first cut and planted; j and afterwards th"8e of larger Bize,*from the ' same trees, which it required a small saw to divide. They all sprouted in the ground, except a very tew of immature wood, from the ! tops ot some branches; and had the season prove!1 very favorable, ail that sprouted would probably have lived, notwithstanding the errors in planting. But when the severe drought of spring came on, most of those which were small and of middling size,?indeed nearly ail that were not large, died. In some rows where To w ere planted not a tree is standing; ! m some Ironi two to half a dozen and in others , more, according to tin? size of the cuttings.? [ But the fact moat worthy of remark, and most particularly to ou. purple, is that of 25 cut- ' tiii"--, about an inch or mure in diameter ' O which were planted together, and the low noted, 23 grew and produced very fine trees | now in their placo a Branding evidence of the great super ority of large cuttings, whi st j within a few feet of them are rows entirely vacant, planted at the same time, in precisely the same kind of soil, and in the same way, ; with the cut'ings from the same stock, only of j sural cr size, but such as would be considered ; excellent in any market. The bud* on some i ot the large cuttings were injured in sawing, i and these were doubtless, the ones which j failed. For the purpose of shewing that the! failure of so large a proportion of these cuttings is *o he ascribed only to bad planting, it may be stated that a few days after the plant- I ing above refcred to, other rows were planted j ! between some of the first, with the same kind j of cuttings, but in a different way ; and from j tins latter pi mting the s'and is most excellent i for the season. It would be accounted good 1 i in any season. Here then is a fact as decisi\e as can be, in favor of largo cuttings, proving i conclusively that they will suceeed, in a season and with management, which cause other and good cuttings to fail. But this is not all. In t vo other spots of the same field were also planteo a few-, p< rliaps 2j or 30 cuttings, an inch or more in diameter, all we had left of j that size. Tiiv.se al- grew. To be sure other i cuttings planted at the same time alno orew:. - . ??? ' j but heron wag the d'ft'erence; the 6|)iouts from the largo cuttings resembled, in vigor and rapidity of growth ihoge from root", of which there were thousands in the field, more than they did those generally from cuttioga of common size. Largo cuttings, then, not only grow more certainly than small one.-, should the spring provo unfavorable as oft* n happens; but thry also produce, the first season, better trees, nod more foilage is well as more and better cuttings for future planting, even when the small cuttings succeed. The productive value of one bud cuttings, three quarters of an inch and upwards in diameter, cannot be less than half that of rooted plants, occ year old, deprived of the wood for cuttings. Owing however to the general, perhaps we might say universal practice, of close planting by cultivators of nurseries, large cuttings are very rarely to be obtained. Southern cuttings are also, other things being equal much better, bud for bud, than Northern, for the very obvicus reason that the wood has a longer season to gi ow and mature. o o A few northern Nurserymen have expressed a different opinion. But whe n sincere it was theoretical, like our former opinion of large cuttings. The best known of those who expressed 6uch an opinion, the Messrs. Prince of Long I.land, contradicted it the very next season, by planting a nursery at the South. Northern cultivators who have tried southern cu'tings without exceptior, so far as we have ever heard, prefer them. Extraordinary exc itement is said to have been caused in St. Louie, Mo. by a resolution of the Bank of Missouri not to receive any thing but specie, or the notes of 6pt ae paying banks, in paymont of debts due to it. Busi. ness was suspended, public meetings were held, extra's were iaeued from the printing offices, and scarcely any thing els' wa:- talked of. How supremely ridiculous a civilized community render themselves hy such excitement cn such an occasion. The directors of the bank had a legal right to adopt such a resolution as the one complained of, and its debtors have a legal right to postpone pay. ment till judgmen'3 can be obtained against them. In the mean Mine if able to pay their debts now in the notes of solvent, though for the t me, non-specie-payitig banks, thev may obtain specif, and in this way get over the* diffi ul'.y quioily and legally. The bank is more dependent upon the publ.c than the pub ir. 0:1 the bank. li the bank attempts o exerci? wanton oppression, let the public stand aloof Irom it. aim tnus siar e u ao?<u. Let ail its bills in circulation be sent in and 'he sp' cic be drawn for tlicni, and I?rt no others be taken fioui it. T.i3 wou'd be a a ii:able and the only suitable and proper roiei ge, in case the b n?K has been guilty of any outrage calling lot public vengeance, whilst, at the sane time it confines itself within the limits of its legal rights. But we suspect, th it if the truth was known, tl e men who are chn fly instrum- ntal in fomenting the excitement, are arable, if debtors, to pay their dues in any kind of bills, or if not debtor?, are ufFendeuded because the bank refused ib- m "accommodation,"on inadequate security, or when the 6tate of its affairs forbade further discounts. Every man who regards ilie security of person or property, or the durability of our republican institutions should on all occasions, set hisfice agtinst the lawless violence to which our country seems to he rapidly tend.ng. The Hon. Felix Grundy, now A torney General f the United States, has been elected United States Senator by the Legislature of Tennessee, in the mem of II m. E. H. Foster resigned. .Mr. Grundy it will be remo ' en d was the former Senator, and was succeeded by Mr Foster two years ago, when the \Vlug? hid the ascendency in the Tennessee Legislature. Mr. Grundy is, we have und'Tsiuud, a man of unb emished private character ; and if we recollect right, he did himself great honor a few years ago, in resisting the a!tempts of political partizatis to drive him from the Smata in violation of his constitutional oWuritmn* when the scale had turned against ?he party which elected him. If his suc cessor had had the same firmness of character and priticij le there would not now have been an opportunity to retard Mr. Grundy, as ;3 done for his faithfulness to the constitution on that occasion. Tlrse remarks are made without any intentional bearing on either of the political parties :mv contending for the asccnden -y in this countiy.

Tons the ictors in one of the bold' st and most recklces nrobs ever assembled in this country, and on ;ccount of the example, the most dangerous, are suffered to escape with impunity.
