. The article on the sulisequcnt columns
"'/On the beds of limestone and calcarious
' -earth on the Pee Dee is from the pen of
one ofthe most intelligent and respectable
planters in the Pee Dee country. We
hope others to whom we addressed enquiries
on the same subject will ff.vor us, or
father the public through us, with an*wers.
The valuable information furnished
by our correspondent will, we
doubt not, stir up many near tho Pee Dec,
and perhaps near other parrallel streams
to inquire into the value of lime a3 a ferti
tilizer, and the expense at which they can
* transport it.
On the fourth page will be fcund some
instructive statistics, exhibiting as plainly
*s figures can do it, the danger to which
men expose their lires io subjecting themselves
to the operations of steam quacks
- and quack medicine*. We shad at some
- future time copy similar statistics col.
*\ lected in Charleston. Although quack
medicines seem to be used to some extent
.in this neighborhood, we have hesrd very
little of steam doctors since the days of
the small pox in Marlborough, live years
ago.
The statement copied by us last week 1
that the Roman Catholic Bishop, Dr.
Reese is imprisoned by the Pope ha9 been
.^contradicted by a correspondent of the
Catholic Herald of Philadelphia.
Ir will be seen by reference to our Con.
> gressional summary that the bank hill '
. has. passed the Senate, with a modified
' form of the plan recommended by Mr. (
Ewing. Tne indications are, that with- 1
out material alteration it will pass the <
House. If so the hank will probably go !
into successful operation without much ,
delav. For, if we may judge from the
result of the Presidential election, very
few of the states in which it is desirable
to locate branches will object Still the
precedent of submitting the question to
them we fear may prove pregnant with
unforeseen evil. Our federative systeis
is most wisely constituted. While it
gives to distinct governments concurrent
jurisdiction over the same territory, the
Mime people, and in many instances, over I
the saine subjects, it at the samo time as. |
Sign* to these governments distinct
spheres, in which though rhey may operate
with all desirable efficiency, their
movements must still he independent and |
harmonious. But let either government j
- infringe upon the sphere of the other, or
tf'von surrender its indeoendencc of action '
at any point in its own sphere ro the will i
of the other, and an essential principle of
the system is thereby given up?a revo.
lution is commenced which may ultimately
end no one can tell where. Like
a planetary system in which the orbits
cross each other there is a continual liability
to the most fatal shock.
The McLeod Cask.
According to the New York papers the j
counsel of McLeod, at his request, have I
declined carrying the case to the court,
for the correction of errors in that state. '
He is confident that he can prove to the j
satisfaction of a jury that he had no j
agency in the acts with which he is j
charged; and he wishes his case to be
submitted to a jury at once, that he may
be released from confinement with as little i
/delay as possible. The trial has been re- i
moved from Niagara county, where it is !
#Heged that the offence charged, was com.
mitted, to Ontario, where it is supposed a
leas prejudiced jury can be obtained.?
The prejudice against him, however, is
rery strong in all parts of the State, and
by all classes of men. Some even of the
members of Congress from that State,
and in both houses, have used language
in regard to his case which is far from
honorable to cither themselves or the
* country.
A negro man at Bedford, Massachusetts,
lately paid his fare from that place
- to Boston, at the railroad office, and then
took bi? seat among the whits passengers.
The agent informed him that there was a
car provided for persons of colo/ to which
: * must go. Ho refused to do 20; where-1
Ti*# . 4, ' ' '' *' * N

upon he was carried by force. For this \
act lie had those engaged in it indicted, <
under charge of assault and battery.? {
The decision, however, was that inasmuch
as no more violence was used to- ,
wards him than was necessary to remove j
him, no assault and battery had been com- I
mitted. The right of tho railroad compnny
to make and enforce a law to sepa- *
rate negroes from white passengers was (
recognised.
Fugitive Slaves.?The Montreal1 '
Courier estimates the number of negroes 1
in. Canada who runaway ns slaves from .
the United States at zu.uuu.
Another bank bobbery.?Thedirectors
of the branch bank of Illinois, at
Jacksonville/offer a reward of $5,000 for
the recovery of $90,000 stolen from the
hank on Sunday night the 4th. July.?
Eleven or twelve thousand of the amount
in specie and the remainder in hank notes.
The bank was entered by means of false
keys.
Gen. Buron of. mareschal, Minister
from Austria to this country, has been

late Secretary of Legation to this government
has been appointed Charge d'Affairs.

In many parts of Florida, and in Sumter
county, Ala , a fatal congestive fever

A proper movement.?The merchants c
in the principal towns of Georgia have s
attached their names to resolutions and d
published them, pledging themselves not \
to receive or pay cut no bills of suspen. ^
ded banks but at their current market value;
that is at the discount at which they
can be sold for specie. ^
n
Politician's Logic.?The Hon. Tho. ^
mas Morris, formerly a U. S. Senator 0
from Ohio, in a letter recently addressed jy
to the Governor of that State, through an ?
abolition paper, undertakes to prove that tj
the clause of the constitution which re- j
quires one state to deliver fugitive slaves j
from another state when claimed, is void j,
as between Ohio and Kentucky; or at Cl
least that it does not bind Ohio to deliver c
fugitive slaves coming from Kentucky, h
His reasoning is as follows: The ordi- |(
nance of Congress ib 1787 establishing * g
government for the North West Territory,
of which Ohio formed a part, con- ^
tained no provision in regard to slavery. ^
except that persons escaping into the e<
territory from whom labor or service was ^
due in any of the original states might be pf
lawfully reclaimed ; as Kentucky was not
one of the "original" states, it was not y
included in this provision of the ordinance, w
and must therefore be considered as excluded;
aud that notwithstanding it was
at the time a part of Virginia, which was n
one of the original states. This is the g
first step in the ex.Senator's logical pro. tj
cess. The second is that the Convention n
which framed the constitution had no
pow er to alter the provisions of the ordi- 0
nance of 1787, and that therefore the
ordinance is paramount to the constitu.
tion, and must prevai 1 where the two come
in conflict. Mr. Morris is not the only
politician in the country who seems to r<
look to the Federal Convention as the I
source whence is derived the authority of 11
the constitution over the states and the ,T
6
country; nor is he the only politician
who seems to consider the condition of p
the states under the constitution the same u
that it was anterior to the adoption ot tnat; t<
instrument. Absurd as is his reasoning it ft
is not more so than that on which is some* e
times based extensive party distinctions in ^
this country. ?
Anothkk instance.?The following si
letter from the Hon. J. C. Alford, of tl
Georgia, on the subject of a U. S. Bunk G
has been published in the Co.umbus (Ga.) 0
Enquirer. L *
Washington, July 5, 1841. &
Gentlemen:?I nee Uie Columbus Argus has o
misapprehended the meaning of my remarks
about the bank. I was speaking of what the
Northern men were willing to do, viz.* let us a
ha?o r* little respite on abolition if we would go b
on and vole for a bank, a Tariff, &c., not what j|
I would do, but what they were desirous tor us ,
to do. I shall vote for a fair hank charter but "
not for a foul one. I am anxious there should a
bo a good bank, and if it is not loaled with pro- e
visions against State Rights, I shall vote for it .
with pleasure; for I teel and believe that the rot- ,!
ten condition of the St tie banks, tho derangement W
of the currency and the necessit es of the people a
all together produee an overruling necessity,
that ought to quiet tho doubts of every patriot, e
and cause every State-Rights man to acknow- a
lodge as a truth, that the question has been so J
often adjudicated and acted upon, and benefi- .
cially, too, that it should now* be treated as settled.
The only question should be so to frame h
the charter as to avoid infringing upon the sov f
ereignty of the States. In a word, I am in favcr
of Mr. Tylor's plan.
Vcty respectfully, your obedient servant 11
JULIUS C. ALFORD. t
By **Mr. Tyler's plan" Mr, A. here ]
means the plan which makes the branch- ]
ing feature (admitted to be essential to a r
a fiscal hank,) dependent upon the con- c
sent of the individual states. He is of ]
opinion that the experience of the coun- a
try has proved the "overruling necessity" |
of a bank to carry into effect powers ex- ?
<
I' |-Jr
...
prcsslv granted in the Constitution?=or in
>ther words, that the tonstitution gives
;ongres? the power to establish a bank
nrith branches. And Mr. Afford, after
this admission, will vote only for a Imnk
lill which leavaa it discretionary with the
individual states whether rir not it shiill
ye carried into effect if passed. If the
nates have, unanimously, each voting
separately, as they did in adopting the
jonstitution, given to Congress the pow. j
jr to establish a bank, where is the clause
)f that instrument in which any state hns
eservod to itself the right to rBio the le.
jitimate exercise of thia power either in
vhole or in part? It is an anomaly
n government to mnke the exercise
>f its admitted powers dependent 1
ipon the consent of any other body.?
5u#?h nnnmnlli* ia oiita nnt tn K/? found id
he Federal Constitution, Aman who
cannot find in that instrument the power,
lainly implied, to set in operation a
tank, is hound to oppose it whether at*
empted with or without the consent of
he states. How can the rae-e acquitsence
of individual states legalize or jus.
ify the usurpation of power by Congress?
knd if it is necessary or proper to ask of j
he states the privilege of exercising one
granted power, why is'it not equally so
? ask the privilege of exercising any or
11 other powers? Where and why should

omplains, through the Globe that Mr.

ira " worthy of his hostility" and chalmge
him. He would then have the
ratification of a chance to shoot the disnguished

N THE BKI>S OF LIMESTONE AND CALCAK10U3
EARTH IN THE PEE DKE
COUNTRY.
> To the EJitor.
Society Hill, July 27 1841.
Dear Sir : Yours of the 15th was duly
;ceived. In proceeding to answer you,
must premise that I cannot give any
iformation worth publishing in the Farters'
Gazette. It is known to many that
xtensive banks of sheila are found on the
iuth west side of the Pee Doe from Ports
erry to Burch's Ferry. These banks
'herever the river washes the Bluff are
Mind from 10 to 12 feet below tne sur
ice and from 6 to 10 feet thick, and
xtend back in pi <ces several hundred
nrd8. At Burch's Ferry the bank aproaches
the pure limestone of a grey
olor; at Wilherspoon's old place the limetone
or sheill bank is harder and purer
lan it is at the Bluffs above; at Savagen,
iile's, Ervin'fl.G. Witherspoor.'s and Allicon's
Id places the shall bank is a light yellow,
t seems composed of decayed shells, sand
nd earthy matter. The most common
f the shells not, decomposed arc fla.t
ieces from 3 to 4 or 5 inches long and
s broad, and 1-4 of an inch thick. Not
eing a choncologist I cannot give you
tie name of this shell. It is evidently
ut the remnant of some large shell fish,
nd as I have understood considered as
xtinct. The next most prevailing shell
i the fluted clam of various sizes periankles,
&c. &c. I do not know that
ny of the banks above mentioned have
ver been analyzed. A bank of the same
<1 > ?_ -f iL
ppearance as ine yellow DanK or ine
*ee Dee ha? been found on the planta.
ion of the late John Gibson near Darington
Court House, and I understood
rom him that he had sent a lump of the
hell Bank to Dr. Cooper to analyze, and
ipon analysis he found it to contain I
bink about 70 per cent of pure lime.?
^arge beds of Limestone are found at
^egget's and at Myers'.} on or near the
oad to Georgetown. Samples of this stone
>r rock were pronounced by the late Col.
Banding to be the Burretone. I under,
land Dr. Harllee of Marion District has
eased or purchased Myers's bed of stone
ind has commenced burning Lime apd
1 *' ,> ? *' ;
offers it fof sale at 91 per'barrel. Large
lieds of this Limestone fare found also on
Willow Creek in Marion District, 5 or fl
miles from Myers's. From this quarry old
Capt. William Wilson in old Indigo
times, burnt lime for Indigo making, tanning,
and Brick work, &c. He had a
kiln to burn the rock in, hut how com
structedl cannot say. Mr. II. Gordon
who now ok ns a part of thi9 quarry or bed
of limestone, told me he had tried the old
country plan of burning oyster shells
and found it would not burn the rock
sufficient to decompose it.
In the Carolina process of making Indigo
lime-water was considered neces.
wiry to settle the coloring matter. My
father at times I know used the yellow
limestone rock, and burned it into lime.
My father's process was to have wood cut
4 feet long anfl when partly dried, to
place two peices of this wood at 4 feet
apart, and a piece injthe middle, then he
placed a piece across each end and side,*
making an open pen of 4 or 5 inches
deep, thin was then filled with the rock
broken into fragments from 4 to 6 inches
diameter, another layer of wood as above,
then rock again, till he got the pile 5 or
6'fect high; fire was then placed under*
neath the pile and when the wood was
consumed the rock was found sufficiently
burned to decompose. In the, improved
process of Indigo making in the East
Indies and South America, I understand
they do not use lime. I hope the East
Indians may not supplant us as effectually
in raising cotton as they did in Indigo.
Some 20 years ago when I had more
youth and energy, than I now have, I had
a boat built with a view to bring up lime
from the bnnk9 below. It so happened
that my crop the yeair I got my boat ready
was a light one. The first down load was
taken, and on the boats return I ordered
my people to[bring up a load of Limestone.
Before they returned as high as the
Limestone hanks the river was up and my
people found it difficult to get at the rock,
and got only the surface or upper part of
the rock, which was inferior to that which
is found deeper. This load I had hauled
to my plantation burned in my father's
plan as above described, and found the
rock sufficiently burned to decompose.?
"? * * __j?j ?r^i.i i ...
1 ne Lime i oruereu [tiiimcu m mc
drill where I intended to plant cotton,
and drilled thick enough to see it some
distance, but how much to the acre I cannot
say. I thought I could perceive the
good effects for the first and second years;
but the spot where the rock was burned
was very visible for many years. Whether
this effect was produced by the increased
quantity of the fragments of the rock
and Lime and the ashes from the wood
used in burning the rock, or from the
combined causes I cannot say. Before
the next season my boat met with some
accident and thus ended my visions of
enriching my plantation from Lime. It
is not necessary for me to say to the editor
of the Farmers' Oazotte, that Lime
from the earliest agricultural records has
been found a fertilizer or promoter of
vegetation. The modus operandi of Lime
Gypsum and ashes is still I believe a deba
tea ble question, I have used all these
in the same way and! quantity by rubbing
my cotton seed and seed corn before
planting, with about equal success. In
dry years the effect with me was visible
in the color and increased or hastened
^ r i j
growth ot the plant, in wet years i couw
not perceive the effects. The result of
my limited reading and experience is that
Lime. Gypsum, iisbes and salt act as<
solvents of the atmosphere. I prefer
wood ashes to eii:her Lime, Gypsum or
Salt. Whether a more general, safer,
and cheaper use of 9team will ever ena.
hie boat owners to bring up Lime and
deliver it cheap enough for the Pee Dee
farmers to use extensively, is a question
for another generation or generations to
decide. All I can say is that inexhausta.
ble beds of Limestone exist on the hanks
of the Pee Dee, Black River, Santee and
Savannah.
