CHERAW GAZETTE. |^ WEDNESDAY, Novexbkr 10,1841. We have received a communication, making a nomination for the Presidency . of the South Carolina College; hut too Jate for this week's paper. It shall appear next week. * Mr. Van B uken begins to he seriously j spoken of by some of his political party as a candidate for the Presidency at the next election. A meeting of his friends was held in Philadelphia, on the 25th ult. to consider the question of immediate action on the subject. A committee appointed by the meeting made two reports, one from the majority, and the other from ' the minority ; one favorable to delay, the other to immediate action. The meeting adopted the report which favored delay. It is well understood that Mr. Van Bur en is willing to run, should his party be wil lin?r to take hitn up. This he plainly j intimated in a reply to a public meeting (we forget where) which nominated him as a candidate soon alter he left Washington in the spring. He was the only President who saved money from his salary. The household expenses of all his predecessors, during their term of service, equalled their salaries; whereas it has been said thai Mr. Van Blri:x saved fif- j ty or sixty thousand dollars out of the j hundred thousand paid him during his1 four years' service. If this he so, it is a strong temptation?and the only rational! A temptation we can think of?to become a W i? 1 r candidate a second lime tor re, eiecuon. lie is not, however, without competitors in the ranks of his party lor so brilliant a prize. (Jen. Cass, Corn. Stkwaht, and Mr. Buchanan all have their supportera. The Wilmington, (X, C.) Chronicle i states, on the authority of a gentleman froin Washington, who received the in-1 formation from the President, that whilst I there are daily applications for office from j every other state in the Union, there are j few or none from North Carolina."! Such a fact speaks volumes for the manly ! independence of the 41 old North State." The colossal Statue of Washington, by Greenough, has been removed from , the Navy Yard to the Kotuudo of tin4 j Capitol without injury. Its weight is fourteen tons. faithful fl'hlic offickk. < Mr. xNathax Skuckant, who was np- j pointed, last April, agent of public timber j 1 in East Florida, upon repairing to his staIron, f<r> md the <df.ee t<? ho a more sine- , . I c ire, as it had been ever since the com- j *' ?M I menceinent of the Honda war; the fear of the Indians effectually preventing all j depredations upon the timber. Instead.! tiierefore, of receiving his salary, and | spending his time in idleness, or the prose- j cation of his private business, as his pre- I A <Joees>or in tin: same circumstances had | done, and as too many would do, he recommended that the ollice he suspended during the continuance of the Seminole mar; which has accordingly been done by the President, and Mr. Sergeant, like j it n honest oian as he is, has returned j Amine to earn iiis bre ad by the labor of his i Jianda. HORUiULK OUTKAUK. A parcel of marauders fr >m Texas lately passed over into the parish of Cad-; <!<>, hi the Slate of Louisiana, and se izing ! tupori a citizen of that state, carried hiin across the line into Texas and com-' duenccd digging a grave to burv him rr fj c? > -alive. The victim, seeing their purpose, l/N/v.-r* r^ivikt I o nrl n /.fl Krit t WIUi\t: |l?Mll 1IICIII UHM IUII VII J WV.I j ticvera 1 of them fired at him and killed | biin instantly. They then cut his body i jn pieces, and hung it up on the neighbouring trees, as a warning to all op posers i of their lawless authority. The only offence which it is said the deceased committed, was a threat to resist the impositions of the marauding banditti, who had 1 for some time set themselves up as " rcg- j . # ...? nlators" on both sides of the dividing line." The Hon. John \V. Crockett, son of, i the late Col. Crockett, has been elected by the Legislature of Tennessee Attorney General of that state. The Democrats have a majority of 2 .? f _ .... . ! ?i? i .i in trie oenaie ui j ennessee, dui me1 I Whigs have n larger majority in the other house, which would enable them to elect two Whigs to the U. S. Senate, should the election be suffered to come on; hut the Democratic senators have addressed a circular to those who are supposed to he candidates for the office, in which after catechising the candidates as to their political creed, they add as follows: "The undersigned deem it proper to state to you that they are opp ?j>ed to permitting an election to take place for tilling the two vacant seals in the Senate of the Unidted States from this state, until full and satVifaclory uuswusu.c received 111 writing I from each person who is, or may become a candidate for either of the said vacant scats." From tiiis intimation, wo suppose that it is determined by a faction constituting the majority of the Tennessee Senate to prevent the election of U. S. Senators from that Slate. We see it also stated that a Whig Senator was chosen in one of the counties of Pennsylvania by a majority of one vote, which gives the Whigs a majority of one in the Senate of that State ; which, says ' a Whig paper, will enable that body to J exercise a restraining influence upon the J acts of Democratic majority in the other 1 branch of the Legislature. Riot ix Yale College. The fire department of New Haven turned out last j week for practice, and attempting, for that j purpose to lav trains of hose across a j street in which the students of the college ' were at plav, they were successfully re- J sistrd hvthe students, The struggle gave < O O rise to feelings on the purl of the students ' which proinptec. them to the dastardly act of demolishing an engine house with an o o elegant and costly engine late the suececding night. While they were engaged in the cowardly act, the city watch came upon them, hut were overpowered by clubs and brickbats. The alarm bells j were thereupon wrung, and the turn out 1 of citizens soon put tne rioters to flight, j The faculty of the college, next day, of- ? fored to repair all damagesFrom several intimations in the Madi sonian, President Tvlcr's organ at Wash- 1 ' ? O mgtoc, it is manifest that is the wish of j t.he President " to submit his administration, on its own merits, to the approval j or disapproval of the country"?that is, j to he a candidate himself for the Presidency at the next el ction. Large Oak ?A correspondent of the J Natchitoches Herald gives some account of a Red Oak on the plantation of W.

I New York Election*.?The election for members of the state Legislature was ; held in New York last Wednesday. The ' result so fur as it has reached us is favorable to the Democratic party, who will certainly have a large majority in the low. t?r house. [:i the Senate the Whigs will probably retain their ascendency. There ore 22 senators who hold over, of whom 13 are Whig*, and 9 are Democrats. There were ?>n!v iO senator* to elect. Tnree ofliicsc would gi\o the Whigs 16. that is halt'the whole number, and the Lieutenant (Governor, being President of the Senate, and a Whig, would give his party a casting vote.

The North American gives a brief out- ^ line of the testimony of one of the witncsscs, Samuel L. Gouverneur (former t Postmaster of the city of New York,) j which is worth copying : "With regard to the cash payments to 1't a large amount alleged to have been made I ^ , ! o by the Government to defendant, it was } proved by Mr. Gouverneur that these were payments of accommodation paper loaned ^ ike Department by defendant?that the Department had sued for the same amounts; and that the Postmaster Gene- ^ >i?(] (,rtv.r?rl in credit him with the amounts, if he would inform whom he jj| should charge them to : he also stated that n ' [ the Department could not raise money on its own notes, and would certainly have failed had not Mr. Roesideand others extended assistance in this way. The ' credit of the Department was had, and to any extent, I have a letter fro:n the I)c- * partment, stating they would he hannrupf unless I raised them 840,000 by next mail. These drafts of Rceside's were is- 0 sued in botches, and 1 do not believe they f were charged on any hooks of the De* P partment.

Whilst his letter is , little ^ more than a tissue of flattery to the j t " Democracy" of the country, lie at the j o same time boasts of having been himself 11 raised by this democracy to an aristocratic u elevation so far above themselves, that sheer respect for them and llieir institutions torbids his descending* so far as to n ? n mingle in their deliberations. r mr. van bur en's lkttbr. t Kindcrhook, October 4, 1841. f] Gentlemen : I have had the honor to 1 . i : receive your lotter inviting me, in be- j 1 half of the Democracy of Ulster coun- ' ? ?y, to attend the Mass (Convention to ; |j he held at Kingston on the 7th inst. | You cannot, gentlemen, he more deep- .
