State Legislature.?We can collect
very li'tle of interest from tbe published
Journals in regard to what is doing i:i this
body. From other sources we learn that
the subjec s which seem to excite most interest
are 1. The establishment of bodies in
the several Districts to whom will be committed
the duties now discharged by com.
missioners of Roads.Commissioners of Fiee
Schools, Ordinari* s &c. wi:h perhaps other
duties discharged in some of the b'ta'es by
what are called County Courts. 2. The
establishment of a Fcn?teiuiary, wh ch howover
it is not expected w ill be done this sossion.
3. The Lcense, or Temperance

on this subject is yet uncertain. 4. And

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.

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.

Whether tho Speaker difcov red the objectionable
pen ence hnnsHf or it was pointed out
to him by iMr. R<id, docs not appear on the
journal, if Mr. R. presented the petition
without calling the attention of the House or
the Speaker to its character, he deserved to
be called up to lite bar of the House and censured.
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.

Pork. ? On inquiring yesterday, we could j
not learn that a single hog had been pur-1
j chased this fall by our pork packers, or that j
j any contract for hogs had been entered into.}
I Hogs arc more abundant than money, j
Provi-rs cannot make sales or get offers, j
I Three do/hirsper hundred has been named, j
hut purchasers cannot be found to offer I
ihat price, t.r drovers to take it. We doubt,!
whether there will be many hogs packed 1
(ins winter. No one seems to have much !
money to invest in pork, and we understand
our banks will he unable to discount a dollar
