Ar und the fire a small group were assembled discoursing of the crops, manti ring of the land, feeding of ho s, and oth r like substantiid subjects. In one "cwner" sat an individual of apparently twenty years of age. He was dressed in a grey s'i suit of worsted home-spun and upon thf back part of his head resto J a fur cap which from its worn and bescorcheri appearance might have seemed to one unversed in chronology fo have b"en manufactured ??f hair shorn from the tails of the Philis'ine foxes* In front h g hair dp ss'-d by th ? - ... ?, barbative skiltot some village jur inm|ean appeared to be shorn ofF wi h scrupulous exactness on the lino formed by t'*e roos of liis hair and the apex of his forehead, fl s mouth had a goo I natureJ hu norous oxpression, his hazel eye express <1 nothing but a love of pleasure fun and frolic.? Such was the individual whose appearance arrested my attention as 1 entered. Toe conversion, which at first res'ed on mat'trs agricultur d, upon t'i? entrance of the landlady's charming daughter Sally, took a somewhat more interesting turn?or at least the old subject was dropped.? The individual whom I have attempted to describe kept continually crossing h s right kg over li s left and tlm "vice versa" as if Ite was laboring under some men tal uneasiness; now uttering a loud and confused "ahaw" significant of the mightv labor of his m nd in finding a P ^ subject for conversat on. and then a gently breathed "ahem m" sho ving that It s mind was not free from all uneasiness.

Mr. i L said hn could not very w?

I Mr. Preston thought, if the document was j one of research, nod elaborately drawn, | embodying, as it was said to do, nil the leading his oricul facts in chronological or- i O ~ der, that an e\:ra number ought to be priti- i ted. lie had occasion, some years ago, to ( resort to sources of knowledge connected with the very Territory in question, and had often felt the necessity of soine document that could supply the desired information. Mr. Pnson moved the printing of 2,000 copies ; which motion was ugreod to. ASSUMPTION OF STATE DE8TS. Mr. Grundy sai l he would not, at that time, go into anv general discussion of the merits of the report, il s sole object in rising was to move that, when the ques'ion was taken, it should be taken S'paru ely on p the different branches of the resolutions; and on that he would ask the ayes an J noes. The resolutions are as follows ; 1. Reso'vel, The assumption, direr or indirectly, bv the General Governme of the debts which have been, or may rontrac.eil b.' tin? St.ves lor local o je or State purposes, woul'l be unjust both the S'at' s and to tbe People. 2. Resolved, That sucb an assumpti would be li'uhly itjexpdi' nf, nnd dang' ous to 'ho Un on of the States. 3. Resolved, that such an assumpti would be wbo'ly unauthorized by, arid violation of. the Constitution of the Unit St it- s, and utterly repugnant to all the o jeets and purposes for which the Fodei Union was formed. 4. Resolvd That to set apart the pu lie lauds, or the revenues aising th'-retroi for the before-mentioned purposes, v oi be equally unjust, inexpedient and unco sti'utionni. Mr. Prentiss moved to strike out t words 'directly or indirectly" as unnece siry nnd ambiguous in their impor'. Air. Grundy thought the whole groui could not be covered unless t'-ose wor were retained, and he should oppose t! motion to strike ou?. Mr. Crittenden said he bad prepared res lutious which he hten 'ed ?o move as a su s'itute for the resolutions of the repor f, therefore, his honorable friend from Vf t.ont (Mr. Preu'iss) would indulge him I with Irawing his amendment, he won move to strike out the resolutions of die r x>rf. arid insert the following : Resolved, That the debts of the sever Bi\ fu r no flinv nrn 1/tTHVtt tn t!

The folio wing facts willshe w the great superiority of large cuttings over small. A little more than an acre of the field in which the trees stand was manured in the hill lastspring, at the time of planting, with rough stable manure. The manure was covered but not mixed with the soil, and the cutting planted near it; the smaller separate from the larger. When the drought of spring came on, the manure absorbedjjthe moisture from the earth around the cuttings, and although they sprouted, very few came up?in some rows not one. The stand was in proportion to the size of. the # cuttings. Of twenty-five about and over an inch in diameter, planted together, twentythree grew and made fine trees, now standing in their places ; whilst within ajfew feet ol them are rows entirely vacant, though planted at the same time, in the same way, and with cuttings from the same stock, only smaller. The buds on a few of the large cuttings were injured in sawing; the two which failed were, doubtless of this number, ifere is conclusive proof that large cuttings (such as a great pro; portion of those now offered ! for sale) will succeed to perjfection, in a bad season, and with treatment that destroys 1 most or al! of small and con^:jmon size. I The Price is two and a half cents per foot or half a cent per bud, A credit till January 1841. will be allowed on suras over $100, and till January 1842 oil sums over $400; ; thus allowing ample time to 1 make the money with a handI * r some profit out of the cuttings. Satisfactory security wfll hp rnmiirrd hpfnrp the dlV livery of the cuttings. Any one may constituteliimi self ati agent for the sale ofcntr tings; and will be allowed 5 per r cent on sales amounting in all I , o ^ : to $*00; or ten per cent, on sales amounting to $,1000.? The commission to be paid whenthemoney ispaid for the cuttings; or if the agent prei fers, he may take it in cutting;s when payment is satisfactorily secured. In this way .active young men may procure themselves a good supply of Multicaulis, without any other . cost than a little trouble. J The cuttings may T)e re moved and planted at any time before the SOth Feb. or later if the spring is late. Printed directionafor plant) ing and cultivating will be j furnished without charge to ? purchasers who take to the amount of $5. Letters on the subject must be post paid, M. MACLEAN. Chert w, S. C.
