happy itqm in the Journals of the present day, and one which they should be rejoiced to circulate.?Nova Scotain. CHER AW GAZETTE. WEDNESDAY MARCH 31. Krratux.?In the account of the cul&c. of three acres of upland cotton furnished by Gen. Gillespie to the Pee Dee Agricultural Society, and published i" our columns last week, an important typographical error occurred. The quantity of manure spread on the three acres was nine hundred bushels, and not three hundred, as printed. Medical College of the state of South Carolina. At the bte commencement in this inStitution the degree of M. D. wasconfered on 51 students, among them Alexander M/.I.enn and Jon\ A. Hodges, of iWarl borough, J. R. McQueen, of Marion, and \V< S. Boyd and J. C. Haynkswortii of Stouter. Of the graduates there were 41 front" South Carolina, 4 from North Carolina, 4 from Alabama and 3 from Georgia. The silver cup for the best thesis was awarded to W. K. Kltx of Orangeburg. The trial of McLeod has been postponed to another terra, in consequence of an error by the clerk of the court jg drawing a jp. jury, which prevents the holding of a court for jury trials. Gen. Scott had gone on, and made a requisition on the Governor of New York for troops to protect McLeod in case of his acquittal and discharge.? The Governor had issued his orders accordingly. But upon the receipt of information that the trial would not now take place, Gen. Scott withdrew his call for troops. Whilst the need for such a call speaks unfavorably for the ch trader of a portion of the people of New York, t he course of the General Government ev inces a determination on the part of those entrusted with its administration, faithfully to discharge their duty. Adjutnnt# and Inspector General Jones has resigned his office. The reason assigned by him is that, owing to the hnhtinn of the encain;>raent system by the Legislature, he can be no longer | useful in his office, and he could render the state no service equivalent to his salary. 'He also expresses the opinion that ' the rejection by two successive L?gislatuWsofthe bill proposed by the Bonn! of office&appointed for that purpose in 1838, is an evidence of the declining impor. tance of the militia, in the estimation of the Legislature. Extraordinary preparations, were made in the city of New York, by the political friends of Mr. Van Buren to make a munificent display on his reception in that city qn his way home from Washington. ^ " But the elements defeated them. Rain fell in torrents at the time of his arrival which marred as well the pleasure of the actors as the exhibition. The personal attention shewn Mr. Van Huron by his political party, togethe with the fact of his not jKwitively declining the rumination of the Missouri Legislature and the declaration of influ , f <h?? nnrfv in nrivate ?,U UI..UU.. - | .7 - > circles, would seem to point lo him s the opposition cantli 'ate for the Prcsidenrv at the next election. - Lucernk.?We have a small square of this grass growing in our garden, from the appearance of which we arc inclined 4o think favorably of it as a grass for soiling or hay in our climate. Tiie soil is -sandy with a sand foundation. It was badly prepared, heing but thinly manured, :ahd having had a coat several inches deep " of vnrotted oak leaves turned in a few weeks before the time of planting. But lieing the only vacant spot in the garden .at the time, we concluded to try it. After spading up the ground to the depth of twelve inches, the seed was drilled, early in May, and came up well; but at least half the plants, perhaps two thirds, were destroyed a few days after they appeared above ground, by a very small black fly* Those which were left grew well, but having on hand at the time a press of oth business which more urgently demanled our attention, they were not worked till some time in June, when it was almost concealed by a thick crop of crab grass. ' The growth was somewhat checked by the disturbance of the roots in pulling and cutting up this grass. It was hoed once more during the season, but not till another heavy crop of crab grass had at. tained such growth as to require the hand fitr pulling, rather than the hoc for cutting it up. The lucerne with all these disadvan ages grew to an average height of from 10 to 15 inches. Or rather this wis the length of the spears, which indined to grow laterally and were bent towards the ground by the weight oT their loaves. Some bunches . bore seed, and the whole would very well have borne cutftnginthe fall. Tiicy continued green till fcvere frost; and yoqng leaves l>egan to spring up from th^ roots again late in January. From that tipac they have coniinued to grow, slowly in cold wcath-1 er, and more rapidly when the weather was warm. The severe frost in February killed some of the leaves, but none of the spears. A week ago, when the peach trees had blossomed, but had put forth no leaves, the lucerne was from 8 to 11 inches high. Many of the spears are now 17 inches long, and the whole prescnts the most luxuriant and beautiful grewthofdeep green and tender vegetation which we have ever seen in March. The only defect is that the stand is toe thin. If the stand were good it would now afford as heavy a crop of h ly as clover affords at any season of the year, even on strong soil. The spaces between the beds were covered with a coat of stable manure in February and spaded up. From the result, thus far, of this experiment, wo feel warranted in advising a trial of lucerne by planters who have sandy soil which they can manure. The early part of September is considered the l>est time for planting, and next to that, mnntli PoKrimrv. If thr? season 1 lie; III'/II i II VI a. % VI UMI^ * ...w had been a dry one our planting in May last year would probably have proved a failure. Several bunches died during a short continuance of dry weather in some part of the season, perhaps in August.? This, however, may have been caused by the quantity ofleavesstill unrotted in the soil. Lucerne is used chiefly, if not alto. ( gather for hay or soiling, that i?, cutting ' to feec. in a green state. Delicate lambs, pigs and calves might be suffered to run upon it for a short time, though not with! out injury to the succeeding crop of hay. j The roots penetrate deep into the soil, j and continue to throw up a luxuriant ! growth of stems and leaves for 8 to lit : years;?some accounts say, much longer, j Though valuable, it cannot be used in a ; rotation of crops for the improvement of i land. But to counterbalance this disad; vantage, it requires neither replanting nor j cultivation for a long scries of years after J it has once taken good root. It must, I however, be manured occasionally, as the i growth begins to fail, j Rabbits are very fond of it and injure i it in early spring by cropping it down.?

Scrward of New York lately demanded ol Gov. Gilrocr of Virginia, a fugitive from u 7 n justice, who after leaving the former 1 state, took shelter in the latter. Gov. Gilmer refund to deliver the fugitive unless Gov. Seward should first comply with the previous demand made on him for fugitives from Virginia. The Ilousc o c* of Delegates of Virginia called upon the Governor for the facts in the case. These were sent by mc&sagc, when the House, after a delay of one day, and some dehate, passed the following preamble and resolution. "Whereas it appears that the Govern, or of New York hath demanded of the Governor of Virginia n fugitive from jus tice, legally charged with crime in thai State, an J now con ti nod in this, and thai I such demand hath been made in conformity with the Constitution and laws of th( United States, hut that the Governor o this Slate, considering that the Governoi ... J - - - o of New York has ver.v recently refuse <. to comply with a similar demand upor him made by this Slate, has deemed ii projHjr to decline for the present tosurren der the said fugitive ; and while the en eral Assembly hath full confidence thai the course adopted by our Governor hntf proceeded from an anxious and patriotic desire to induce the State of New Yort to comply with her constitutional obligu. tions to this State; yet, as the Genera Assembly haih solemnly protested agninsi the conduct of that State on the occasior alluded to, as a palpable violation of sniii obligation, and has maintained, and slil! maintains, that the duty of the Executive of each State to surrender fugitives legaily charged with crime, when propcrl) demanded by any other State, is one im< periously enjoined by the Constitution and laws : "Resolved therefore, by the General Assembly, That in its opinion the said fugi tive, it legally charged with crime, com. mitted in New York, and demanded b) * ~ * j; A _ tne governor ot mai oiarc according u the Constitution and laws of the Unitec Stales, ought to be surrendered, notwith [ standing the refusal of the Governor ol j New York so to act in a similar case." On the passage of this preamble and resolution only 7 members voted in the negative. Gov. Gilmer thereupon resigned his office. It was just at the close of the session and after many of the members had gone homo ; not expecting any important business to cornc up. Owing to this circumstance, the legislature determined to make no election of Governor. According to the Constitution of the Slate, the senior Councillor is to be Gov. ernor in such case. Joiix M. Pattox was the senior Councillor till the 1st. March, at which time his term expires, and John Ruthkbkord becomes senioi Councillor. Ot course, the former is Governor from the day of the resignation (March 20lh) to this day, that is 11 days. From this time the latter becomes Governor. The Richmond Whig, on the occasion uses the following language : Wc arc not surprised that Gov. Gilracr't course in this matter meets with the ap probation of our venerable neighbor, wh<i , is at his wit'send to get capital for his party operations. We do not think howevei that we exaggerate in saying that it is regretted by nearly the whole community besides, comprehending both parties. In a very extensive communication we have j not met with the first man that did nol | express his regret at the course of the ! Governor of Virginia, and that too withI out any reference to party. > Has not the case occured when the Governor of New York, under the Consti ' tution of the United States, had a righ i to demand the surrender of a fugitive from the justice of that State ? No mar can or well deny it. Is the Constitutor less operative upon Virginia, than New York in the case of the three fugitive* , who stole the negro, refused to delivei | them up? It would be a strange anc ] dangerous code of ethics which justifiec j A in committing a crime, because B hac ! also committed it.?Do two wrongs mak< ' a right! If New York violates the Con j # O stitation, does that authorise or excus< Virginia in doing it?Virginia who is u! ways professing her undying allegiance t< i that sacred instrument ? Rather, w< ! | would 3ay, let Virginia embrace that op . portunity to show her integrity. * * * ' j New York violates the Constitution ir , respect to the rights of Virginia ; twclvi 1 months nfterward, Virginia is appealed t< j by New York to deliver a fugitive. Tin ,! occasion was opportune and glorious, t< ' | prove her magnanimity, her fidelity to th< | Constitution, her elevation above petty motives of pique and resentment, such o: '' sway little souls, but ought not to swaj a great and renowned Commonwealth i What is the answer of Virginia to New j York ? Why this in effect: You hav< > violated the Constitution and denied ou< , i right?and we will violate the Constitu t' tjon and deny your right 1 We canno ' imagineany thing conducted in worsi policy or worse taste. We would hav< . gloried to see old Virginia embracing thh .1 opportunity to assert her ancient charac i ler; saying to New York, you hav< | wronged me, but that shall not induce mi i to do wrong?You have violated thi | constitution in refusing to deliver up ti J ine fugitives from justice?I disdain U ' 1 follow an example founded in outrage ti > i the Constitution of the country, and jus tice to a sister State. I seek redress bj nobler means than the retaliation ofpeth injuries. You may disregard the Consti t;i!ion, hut I will adhere to it." 'j Thus will Virginia reason. The Pco 1 pie will, not, cannot approve, of this stc| ! of Governor Gilmer, taken, we have n< doubt, in haste, and less like Virginia thai any thing that Virginia ever did. Opin ion is probably not fully shaped yet but a ! far as it is formed, there appears to be i I very general feeling of regret. Proceedings Continued from last week. PEE DEE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

PniLADF.LPiiiA, March23d, 1841. 21 In the Court of Common Pleas to-day, 2 j all three of the Judges delivered them3, selves of opinions in the case of citation 3! against the U. S. Rank. Proceedings 3 ! you remember were instituted against * I the Bank under the Resumption Act of f i the last session of the Legislature, the V! provisions of which work a forfeiture of ; charter in ten dnys after refusal to pay j specie for its liabilities. The exceptions * j taken to proceedings instituted under P ; this Act, were that .it was er post facto, ^ S conflicted with the charter of the Bank, 3 ' which was averred t6 be a contract, and * was repugnant to the Constitution of the N State as well as to that of the United ft I States. Well, these exceptions have all been sustained in the most unqualified . manner, and the Bank is now thrown ; back upon the law creating it, which you - may remember permits it suspend ninety ' days without any other penalty than that '* fof paying twelve per cent interest on tne - amount of all demands for specie. Judge King distinctly stated that the Bank of :? the United States and two other of our Banks were not amenable to the Act of the lost session, and that all the others were. He however wished that the case 0 might be carried up to the highest Court, a matter in which he will probably not he q disappointed, as I noticed a similar case was immediately moved. The Court was 0 greatly crowded, and the decision is looked upon by the friends of the Bank, and all its abuses as a great triumph. The delivery of the opinions occupied about i 1-2 hours. ^ The effort made on Saturday to make some arrangements with our city banks 6 in reference to the notes of the U. S. Bank again failed, and the discount upon them 0 arc to pay up to 16 to 17 per cent. In stocks a very moderate amount of 0 { business was done at some little improve- ] ment on Saturday'* prices. Piiidadrm'iiia, J/arch 23, 1841. I was informed to-day that thearrangcmcnt sought to he made by the United States Bank with our city banks, relative to taking its notes at par, is all off again, I) in consequence of the disposition manifested by the legislature not to do any thing in the way of " Relief." Every movement and ever}' day's experience goes to confirm the opinion which I have frequent. ly expressed to you, thnt nothing will be q done at Ilarrisburg, Under these mani festations the banks are but littlo inclined to increase their responsibilities. They are husbanding their resources and making every preparation in their power to i save themselves, and each for itself. The bills of the Bank are nt a depreciation 1 of 15 to 16 per cent to day for paper and ! for specie. LATK FROM FLORIDA. Ry the steamboat Genearal Taylor, arrived yesterday from Florida, wo have | ) received the subjoined letter from our cor- i respondent. j [Correspondence of the Sacannah Republican.] Florida, March 13, 1841. ^ Gentlemex.?In the first place I have to inform you the scape goats continue to seek shelter in General Armstead's "city j of refuge," Tampa Bay. Cosa Tustcnug[) j gee, the Chief whom the General suffered to return on a parole of honor, to his hammock home, has returned briging with him twelve Warriors. His return disappointed every one but "I and the Gener) a'* Secondly?Col. Worth has at length succeeded (n opening a communication with our most indomitable foe Coacooche who has expressed a wish to holde a talk with two of the Arkansas Delegation whom he named, in relation to the promf ised land beyond, not Jordan but the Mississippi. this was a step quite as impor. i, tant to the termination of tnc Florida War and apparently obtained with as much difficulty, as the interview of the English authorities with his Celestial Highness." during the Opium War; but I reckon in this case Coacoochee will get the money. Thirdly?Hos-pi-takee, a Southern Chief, has sent in two Wariors to Col. Davenport at Sara-sota. I looked upon this as a pretty important straw, showing which way the wind is blowing in that quarter. Fourthly?Ilallock Tusteniiggee, with about 100 Wariors, having been twice w whipped by Lieut. Albertis, of which I grave you the particulars,was trailed to his camp on the Ochlawuha, eight miles South of Fort Mackay by Captain Burnham, and again whipped and routed with considerable loss. Then came the sacking of the camp, such a scramble you never saw. There were Bear-skins, coon-skins ind dear-skins, pots, kettles, hoes, axes, and mockasins and beads, fresh dressed version and wild turkics, coonta, corn and bears oil, ladles sophkasifters, kneeding* trays, &c. &c. I got for my share a string of beads, three sophkasifters and a wooden spoon big enough to feed Mr. Blair! A poney from which lieut. Albertis' express J . I a - C /-l I T i l ana trial 01 ^orpurui jjaug was rutaKen. The frock|coat worn by Lieut. Sherewood when killed was found amongst the p'undcr. The body of a fallen Warior probably mortally wounded bv Lieut. Albertis had just been buried. He however is not "left alone in his glory," But was disinLcrred and found 'o have rec.ii\ e 1 a musket shot in his breast. Captain Carnhom had a Sergeant Pearson and Private Cower severely, thelattei I fear mortally wounded Soon after thr engagement he wa9 joined by Capfaii Smith, 2d Infantry, and Lieut. Sibley. Dragoons, each with a Company, and Indian Billy for a guide,and they alt setoff in pursuit. In the mean time Captain Kerr with his Company of Dragoons, ha? taken the opposite side of the river, hoping to have the game Jliuthed and driven into his hands. General Tustenuggee will stand in need of all his skill to enable him to elude such a pursuit. I should not be surprised if, he having been beaten three times fn as many days, should conclude he was doinga" loosing business, and take shelter under the olive branch at Tampa. Do you not regret asking me to write "more extensively?" Very truly yours. Florida, March 21. Sir?In addition to the 58 Indians mentioned in my last as having gone in al Fort Fanning, fen warrior s have sur rendered at Fort No 4, opposite Cedei Key. Herald Office. ) St. Augustine, March 22, 1841. $ From the West we learn that 60 more Indians have positively c< me in at Fori Fanning, and been sent down to Tampa ; and also that Gen. Arrnistead had actually made a shipment to the West. This it very encouraging, um we musi wait ? while, before we can exult much in our prospect. There is an uncommon proportion of women and children among those who have surrendered, and the whole number is but a fairing, to what there are iu the woods. With all our boasting we have not yet found out all their haunts, nor do we yet know what will be the effect ol money and negotiations upon the larger parties. On the subject of a war between England and America, the London Journal of Commerce holds the following lan< age: * We have no fear of a war between the United States and this country. The Americans know their own interest, and appreciate their own situation thoroughly; they know that all wars are detrimental to the production of wealth ; and they further know, that a war between England and the United States, though it might be temporarily disastrous to English trade and manufactures, would utterly destroy the system of credit on which ultimately depends all their undertakings and obliga? (tons. The magni'ude of national and individual interests is the best bond ol peace. The greater the commercial rela. tions between the two nations, the greater is the security for the maintenance o( peace. Can either country have a better reason for abandoning a system which re, stricts their commercial operations?"
