. $ CHER AW GAZETTE. WEDNESDAY MORNING NOV. 4. Delegates from the Pee Dee Agricultural Society to attend the meeting of the S.ate Agricultural Society in Columbia on the 4th inonday in November:? Messrs James Giilispie, John N. W iiiams, John \V. Covington, John Camp. !*>]!, E. L. Hcnegan, John McQueen, John J. Marshall, W. T. Ellerhe, James Wright and Thomas Smith. Repokts on free school-.?We ought f curlier to have acknowledged the politencss of Mr. A. II. Pemberton, State Prin ter, in sending us a co;>y of a pamphlet containing reports made to the Governor from all the districts of the state 011 the free school system, by commissioners appointed by order of the legislature. There prevails a very genera!, perhaps a universal opinion throughout the state, that the present Free school system greatly needs revision; many seem to doubt whether the advantages of the system as at present administered, are an equivalent for the expense. T;?e diversity of vicwsjexprcssed in the reports before us is evidence that the subjeei is one encompassed with intrinsic difficulties not easily overcome. In a population as -parse as tliat of South Carolina, and among whom there are >o lew parents enable to afford an elementary education to their own children, no system of public education, intended only for the poor, can he adopted which will not involve ail expense hearing a large proportion to the number ot persons educated. In most countries and states where any general system of free jsc}tools has been aJoplcd, ll is intended to embrace the great bo.ly of children of nil classes. Such a system however does not seem suited to the slate of opinion and feelii g in South Carolina; not because there is any unwillinga; ts among the rich to educate their ch.ldren in the same schools with the children of tlic p<K>r; but because evt ry body who can afford it is determined to have the selection and dis/jvssnl Irj, of teacht rs for his children in his own hand>;orin the hands of himself and ?i few neighbors. Few are willing to let state officers choose teachers for them: and still fewer would consent to be taxed lor the education of all the children of the slate, in addition lo bearing the expense of educating their own. T.ic. subject is one which calls for the maturest reflection of the wisest men in the state. Tne pamphlet before us ought to be procured and read by every citizen who feels an interest in the subject of g eneral education. The majority of the Hon. Tiio. D. S iiuter, in this Congressional district was 1179. r-%% 1 A pubLc meeting was lit Id in e aaricstoa, oil the 27th October, on the subject of the irregularity with which the mails are received in that city. The meeting appointed the Hon. J- E. Holmes, member of Congress from the city, a delegate, to proceed forthwith to Washington City, for the purpose of representing to the Post OlHco Department, and to the Pres. - idnU if necessary, the serious injury which the city suiters from the great irregularity, and frequcut failures of the mail, and to seek a redress of the grievance. YV ay the citizens of Charleston deem it necessary to delegate a special messenger to Washington, and win they suspect it may he necessary to appeal to the U-aaiJ.^nl u-inll ?l ollll.flfW,> flOt & I COlllV/ IIV 1>?1 OlIV/U U p\*?r|?/v J v. .. vr. know.- His the Post Master Genera! been applied to, and lias he turned a deaf ear to the application? l)ors a conviction prevail, from any cause, in so large and respectable a community as Charleston, that an abuse, mismanagement or neglect, in a department of the government so intimately connected with the interests of the whole country can lie remedied only bv sending special messengers to the scat of Government? A petition is about to lie sent to the state legislature from "Charleston Neck" to be incorporated under the name "Upper Charleston," and be allowed to have their own Council and Intondcnt. A letter dated Union City (_l//c7i.) Scjrt. 19ih Slates that U. S. troops are now engraved in removing* the Pottawattn my Indians across the Mississippi, and seem to have much such a task of it as they had in collecting and removing the Cherokees from Georgia. The Indians have betaken themselves to the woods and come in only as they arc limited up and brought in by force. They allege tiiat the treaty under which tlioy are driven from their homes was made by unauthorized chiefs whom the agents of the U. Suites had nude drunk, and "inveigled I into a treaty. The election of electors for President and Vice President took place in Penn. svlvaniaand Oiiioon Friday last; in Con. nccficu% Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Miryland, Virginia, M.ssour:, Illinos, Georgia, Arkansas, Indiana and Kentucky, on Monday last; in M.chig^n 01 Monday and Tuesday; in Louisi. ana and Tennessee yesterday; in New York it was to take place 0:1 Monday, yesterday and Today; in New Jersey and M.s. sissippi yesterday and Today; in M ?ssac'msctts and Alabama 0:1 T .;*> lay of next week; in Vermont and Delaware or Wednesday, cf^exi week; in North Caro. | lina on Friday (I2th.) and in South ; Carolina during the session of the legisj lature. In all the states except S. Curoj lina, ti:e election is by general ticket. The President is now on a visit to New York and the Secretary of State is on a visit to Georgia. Some of the Whigs arc ungenerous enough to charge them C O C) with the design ofchoosing this particular time to visit their homes, with a view of exerting some influence on the election for President in their respective states.? Others hint that they have only been inI duccd bv the result of recent state eleci tions to visit their doinicils to make ar ran feme nts tor cxnectcd "rctiracy' in the C , 4 i Much excitement has just been produced in the city of New York, first by the Democrats charging the Whigs with importing persons to vote at the New ( York elections; and then bv the Whigs j alleging that leading Democrats had ! formed a conspiracy to fix upon them so base a charge. Numerous afiiulavits have been published by both parties, from all j which it seems thut the Wmgs, suspecting that the Democrats were about, to iin port voters from Philadelphia to New York in 1S3S and *3!) employed men from difj ferent parts of Philadelphia to go 011 to I New Y>?rk and attend the polls on the ' days of election in the different wards of I the city, for the purpose of identifying I and challenging such imported voters : should they present the msclves. One of the men employed by the New York Whigs to riixro.ru tliown niini.ni Stiivoncnn m Vy 1WC* } aiuiiivM s/kt i vii uvi j f lately reported to loading Democrats that ! what lie was em j?!<.yed lo do was to ]>ro1 cure voters and not spies, and that several ! men of great respectability in both cities , were implicated. H.s statement was pu!>. , : lished with his oitJi, afiirming its truth. , The Democrats, from Boston to Balti- ; more, if not to Richmond, were now in eestacies. Tuey had prouf of the corrup- | lion which they had so long charged upon the "llriiish Fnhr.il Whigs." In Boston a hand bill was issued from the office ) of a leudi? g party paper, announcing I the important and gratifying in intelli- ' gence, and staling that Gov. Seward of I J New York had heon arrested for particii pation in the corruption, and that Mr. j Grinnel', m ml?cr of Congress, and seme one e)>e hau runaway to escape arrest. As soon as the publication of the Pctno; crats Wiis made, all the Whigs implicated, I I among whom was the Mayor of l'hilaj dclphia, contradicted, oil oath, in the public papers, the statements of Steven. 1 son- At this stage of the business a fellow named Wontworth, who had also boon t mployed in the work of procuring spies | from Pniladelphin, publishes on oath a statement that Air. Butler, Air. Iloyt the collector of New York, and others had offered him money, with the promise of office from the President, if he would implicate Gov. Seward and other leading 1 Whigs in tiie charge of hiring voters from Philadelphia. The tables were now turned, in the estimation at least ofthe Whigs. Tnev consider no language too strong to characterize so hase a conspiracy among . men limit in ctftec to blast the character of i honorable and honest men, and by vile falsehood and purjury to affect, and if t icy could, decide, the election of of Chief mag strate for this Republic, or rather for tinsaug ist Confederacy of Republics. Rjt the triumph of the W Mas as brief us had been that of tiicir opponents. Ii appears now, from the testimony of men more entitled to credit than Went worth*liiai so tar trom *>emg ottered a bribe j of either money orotfice, he asked for one or Itoth, as a once for which he would rc- ! veal to lite Democrats the evil practices in which lie alleged that he had himself been engaged as the servant of the Whigs; and that when the bribes were refused, he refused to divulge t lie important sec-ets. Tiie matter is still undergoing investigation, and likely to end in smoke; and at the same time to show that both parties are more ready to suspect their opponents of unfairness au?J corruption than truth justifies.

Rare VcgCahie.?Mr. .John Miciikl, whose uncommon success in the culture ! of fruit, and flowers uQd vegetables has ' often challenged out editorial commendation, has entitled himself to the credit of : introducing a new vegetable into our hor1 tic-t! tare. He r.\!iihiled <o !: > yesterday, a fine specimen of the Yau Massicot, or St. Domingo potatoe, raised in the open, air, in his garden on the Neck. This potatoe grows on a rich and luxuriant vines with largeand beautiful heart shaped leaves, the vines itself, and not the root, bearing the fruit. We are told by Mr. M. that the potatoe when cooked exhibits a bright gamboge color, and is superior in flavor to the Irish potatoe. Mr. M. has also succeeded in raising this new vegetable from the seed?the common mode of planting it being by cuttings of the fruit. Charleston Cour.

Gam blc's plantation at Wolaunee, in Jefferson County, on Saturday last. They fired upon a negro man, wounding hiin in the hand, who effected his escape. They took a negro woman, and forced her to accompany them. But being surprised by meeting a party of whites, they lied precipitately, and the woman effected her escape.? The humbugs were some few miles distant, watching the progress of the election. Slar. St. Joseph, Oc t. 15.?Indians.?Last week on the Econfina in Washington county the dwelling house of Mr. Isaiah Jones, a surviving hero of the Revolution, was burnt by the Indians. Mr. Jones is the father of Wiley Jones whose wife and child were murdered by the savages a few weeks since. Their plantations were adjoining each other. The house was vacant at the time though the yells of the Indians were heard at the house of Mr. Robbins, where several families are still collected for self defence.

AFFAIRS IN CENTRA?. ASIA. The fo lowing is an extract of a letter in tin London Morning Herald, dated Hombat. June 23d. The mod important Ind an intelligence fo tho past month co.nes to us foil tho north-wes frontier, and is as unsatisfactory as may be.j fut whole of the provinces lately overrun tv the armies under Lord Kcane, Sir W. Cotton. I General Welstnne, are in a state of insuboiduia. ' tion or open war. Not Oily h:ive outrageous acts of violence been committed in almost every j quarter of Buiochistun, Afghanistan, and Bokar- i ra, where the frror of British Anna has most) recently b?en experienced, but the long trail- ] quilized R jipo'Uan statrs of Jezpnor. and Joudpoor, on the Delhi frontier.', have been seized j 1 with a apirit of insubordination. The co iduc* ; of our now al'y, tho Shah Soojali, meanwhile i is as u irked, and unwise as possible. His hang, ty and overbearing demeanour, while attendant ' on the army, who.-e huyone s were to place him on the throne, disgusted every British officer j who came in contact with him} while his low and brutal sensuality, and tho vile creeping vices of Ins character, excited universal contempt, j Personally this pitiable prince, expelled for misconduct by his subjects, and restored from exile j ( I to his native throne by 9! rangers, did nothing to ( ( c mediate his people, to strengthen his authority. ; ( or achieve his inder endcnceof English aid.

The ear'h is rent mi such a manner, that all the cotton and rice \ plantations have perished for want of water? I But the most awful event has taken place in j the neigborhood of Mount. Ararat. A conoid, i cralde rock was loosened from the mountain, 1 and destroyed every thing in its way f >r the | distance of seven wersts, (nearly five English ; Utiles.) Among others, the great village of Akhouli has had the fate ot Uerculancum and Pompeii. Above one thousand inhabitants were buried Urtd"r heaps of rocks. A thick fluid, which afterwards became a river, ran from the interior of the mountain wh'ch was opened, and fillowing the same direction, swept over the rums, and carried with it the corpses of the unlorlunate inhabitants of Akhouli, the dead animals &c. The shock continued to , he feltev-ry day in the above mentioned dis-' tricts and entirely laid them waste; then the ' shocks became less frequent.

In the present elate of the pwbic mind,, probably no other instrument or mean* what* ever, can be rendered efficacious in promulgaiimj, defending, and establishing the prin. nples o Phrenology, as a well conducted Journal It is unnecessary to state the particu'ar advantages which a regular periodical, possesses over all other agencies; or to urge the imjiortance of having, in this country, sue'* a medium as it affords to make known to the public the facts and principles of the science. The objects of this Journal arc to preserve from oblivion the must interesting of the very numerous facts confirmatory and illustrative the truth of phrenology; to record the history and progress of the science; to show its true bearings on the education (ph)si<ial, intcHeiv tual, and moral); on the nature and treatment " - - ' - 1 k OI llisanuv; mi jurisjjf uunitr nn?i tnimiMi w^-~ i iflat;on; on mental and moial philosophy; and to point out various applications to the ini? {Movement ot the insutu:tons, maimers, aud sysloms of society Original et^ays on phrenological subjects will form part of the Journal, aiul also reviews of phrenological and anti-phrenological works; aid, as often a* practicable, we shall transfer to its pages, the best articles in the Ediohurg Phrenological Journal.
