acquisition of some of those scientific attainments so necessary to success in the m useful ancK mechanic arts?and associated with a.system of manual labor, to invigorate the body, as well as to enlighten the understanding?they would attain to a much more permanent and extended sphere ef usefulness. But a very necessary arrangement, in my view, to any radical refoimation in the system, would be the appointment of a General Supcrintendent, whose practical observation and experience, would furnish many valuable suggestions for your future action, as well as in the meantime, salutary improvements, in the present mode ot instruction. *" *l -< - ?I _l | j L _ II me expense or a saiary snoum ue thought to constitute an objection to this experiment, the amount necessary to compensate such an officer, might he beneficially abstracted from the fund; and I have no doubt will be found to contribute to the economy, as well as the im. proving effects arising from the distribution of the balance. In pursuance of an Act of the Legis. lature, to carry into effect a ^treaty to extinguish the title of the Catawba Indians to lands in the Districts of York and Lancaster, and to purchase other territot?ry for their residence and subsistence, , an agent, in whose intelligence and fid el. ity the greatest confidence is reposed hv the Proprietors, and Chiefs, was appointed by this department, with such specific instructions, as were deemed best comporting with the wise and benevolent vi'-ws of the Legislature. By the report of the agent, herewith transmitted, it will he perceived, that the objections urged by the Executive of North Ca olinn, to the purchase of land in that State, precludes the possibility of gratifying the wish expressed by some of their Chiefs to unite their declining tribe with the remains of the Cherokee Nation, now resident there. ^ It is hoped, however, that the acquisition of other lands, within the limits of our own domain, may be advantageously made for them; and the faith of the State, as well the exigency of this now home/ci.rnnd landless people, require that the necessary appropriation should be made during the present Session, to comply with this condition of tlio treaty. The Proprietors having their part conformed to all stipulations and requirements of the law and the treaty, the taxes imposed hy the Legislature, having been received into the Treasury?and the annuities which have hitherto constituted the ordinary i means of subsistence to the Indians, he. ing accordingly abstracted?the fulfil ment of the obligations assumed bv the State, is now imperative, to relieve this improvident people, from a State of utter destitution, and dependence on the charity and benevolence of the community. I regret to communicate to you the re: ,; signation of the lute President of our College, whose sphere ol uflcfutuess. in that high and dignified station, has been occu. pied with such decided and distinguished ? henefirto the institution, and to the State. Under his wise and judicious control, its literary character has not only heen more Lthan fully sustained, hoth in tho acquirements of the Students, and the ability of ! the*Professors, bur its morals have at the | same time advanced to a state of purity 1 and improvement, which it is believed lias j I never been surpassed, in the experience i of this or any other seminary. Deeply! n regretting the loss, as well as the circum- ! ' fiances which have deprived us of his services, we may still confidently hope that his character and example are so indrdli-j * bly impressed upon the institution, and its ' W ' generations of youth, that its lingering j influences will continue to guide and to j actuate it, in the same honorable course1 of virtue and success. { need not, I; . trust, recotffmend to vour continued favor and patronage, an institution, whose en 1 ? i?.i MgiBiTTiirrw VMIUMUU: H?1I> IIJVTJ CAlClI'M'U UP ! every pursuit and avocation?every art and science. as cultivated in our State?and . whose influence have been diffused through all the wdk? and vocations of life, occupying evry sta on it; Society, pervading every profession, and adorning the Bench, the Bar, the i'ulp.t, and our Legislative councils. The <noral weight and influence which S?>u'h Carolina has oolong exercised, through the talents and usefulness of her statesmen, ?n the afFairg of this Union, and which this institution has so largely contributed to preserve, is of itneif an overruling inducement to foster and improve it. Encouragements to promote agricultural improvements, have ne'er received that consideration which their importance merits, from the Representatives of a people so entirely absorbed in the pursui', and dependant ipon the success, of that branch of industry, as are the citizens of this State, it would not be so much a matter of surprise (however improvident it might be regarded) If its intereitg had been so enti.ely neglected or overlooked, by the government of a community <: purely pastoral, or commercial. But in South Carolina, it is admitted to be the great* the absorbing, and almost the only productive interest; and our daiiy experience p*oves, that it is the constant aspiration of every other emp oympnt, to vest its accumulated earnings in its pursuit. In the economy of this State, it is the aliment of every other business and vocation. Its productions supply the traffic of the merchants ; its requirements give employ, pjent to the professions; and its patriotism and industry contribute the larger portion of pur revenue. Our statute books furnish ample pvidence of a wise and provident regard to protect, as well as to promote, the interest w pf other classes and pursuits, by the limited W nartnePHhirw. commercial retro atinnn arwl w r~ i?' . - ? ? corporate privileges and franchises, which they have so liberally established. In the benefits of legislation, either partial or discriminative to advance Us peculiar intere-t, it does not comport with the independent character of the agricultural community, ?o desire to participate. But in the development of the wealth of the State?in ilie improvement of objects common to the enterprise and the interests of all?it might reasonably solicit and expeet, the aid and patronage of our State Government. A Geological Survey of our mineral resources, (winch chance and ac cident are every day so wonderfully develop, ing.) a scientific analysis of the different soils, to important to their profitable and judicious loltcre* rniy I presume be considered amoog the general and legitimate objects to which l legislative encouragement should be directed. ^ The beneficial influence of the productive corporation* and other new investments of capi 1 tal, so usefully and successfully ??perating to j promote t lie prosperity of the interior and upper portions of the ?S'tate, are illustrative of the policy of institufing scientific rasearelies, < to enlighten and s imulate their labors1 , In diversifying the pursuits?in extracting, as well as diffusing, the permanent sources of wealth from the valuable ores } and products of the earth?they have in- i creased and multiplied the means of na- | liona! prosperity, added to the comforts ( and conveniences of society, distributed new employments, and infused life, energy, and enterprise, into the habits and character of our people. A small nnnual i appropriation to establish premiums, pro motive of the objects to which the State Agricultural Society has so patriotically devoted it* attention, would greatly con. 1 tribute to aid its laudable exertions, jo I inspire the emulation, as well as to enlighten the experience, of our citizens.-*- , The beneficial influence of legislative patrouage, in such instances, may be illustrated by the successful example of < those States, by whose experience it has i been tested ; and while it mu9t necessa. , rily tend to dignify, as well as to encourage, the great and important interest, upon the success of which the prosperity ' of this State so mainly depends, it is at 1 the same time exempt, in my view, from those objections which may reasonably be urged, on principle, to the practice of conferring privileges, protection, immu- ' nities. or franchises, on particular classes i or associations of citizens. The last but not he least interesting top-* | ic to which [ would invite your attention, is the delapidatod and ruinous condition of the < State House, ami its appendages; th?'offices j and basement appartments of which, are iti a most cheerless n\u\ uncomfortable state of in- ' convenience, and decay. Venerable for the i purpose it has subserved,?-associated with | tlio must important events and the proudest recollections of the past?consecrated by the eloquence and the patriotism of which it has | ofb-n been the scenp and the occasion, it is well worthy of the pride and fostering care of 2 those, into whose guardianship if now has de- < sceuded. The moral influence of a high State ( example exercised in the wise economy of nnproving. a* wel; as fit .meting, the property of the people and oftho State, and in delighting to honor and embellish the ancient Halls o ' ancestors and predecessors, is practically more effective to fix the attachment of our | cit zenson ourins itu'loneand Josiiinulatethe cnterpr se and einulati hi of t he people to iin prove their individual comf>rts and resources, than all speculative inducements, which ei- ' ther philosiphy or legislati on can proffer ?

State. JOHN P RICHARDSON. ?i ? ?I CHERAW GAZUriii. i WEDNESDAY, Dbckmrrr 1,1841. i Congress meets next Monday. The space required for legislative proceedings, and public and political documents, during the winter and spring, will render it necessary to abridge during that time the space alloted in our columns to agricultural m ilter. We shall thus he enabled to present to those farmers who see no other paper, a fuller view of the politics of the country. We shall, for their information, copy from our exchanges as m 'sh on party topics, on every side, as we c;\n make room for. Our selections we jsli.xll endeavor to make with impar- ' tialitv; *>ut we are not to be understood as debarring ourselves from the right of freely expressing nnd maintaining our own opinion *on any subject on which we , may at nnv inn's think proper to do so. j 'Pl.^ ? ? ... I.. <l.,nlrinp? hixrinmnir In H#? 1 i m; <IU<UVIIIU<II ... .... uttered from high p'ices in different parts r.f the country, an I to be admitted into dangerous and extent ivtr connection with party politics, make it the duty of every friend to the stability ai d mirity of our political institutions, to .spe^k out as occasion calls for it. We return our thanks to tlje Hon. Thomas E. Powe, M. 1). James BKkeney, Esq. and the Editor of the ??outh Carolinian for their politeness in senain^ us copies 01 the Governor's message .by . the first mail after it was delivered. ! We take pleasure in calling attention to the advertisement of the Cheraw j Schools. Pains were taken to procure ( the best teachers which could be obtained ) i in the country, and the Society seem to * have been very fortunate in their selec. ' tions. The schools promise to be equal } to any in the state. j From the Legislature which met on < Monday week, we have no account except the proceedings of the first day.? ' On that day Judge Huger give notice in ? the Senate, of his intention to introduce 1 a hill relating to the act of Congress tor 1 the distribution of the proceeds of the 4 public lands. It is not stated what the : [hi port or object of the bill is. On the ' same day Mr. Feldor gave notice of a bill to prevent the officers of the state from I receiving in payment of public dues, the I bills of any of the banks which refused to 1 accept the amendments proposed to their charters by an act of the last session. 1 Suppose the state to enact and enforce 1 such a law, it would he not unlike a man's cutting olf his nose to spite his face. Who would he the sufferers? Not the 'recusant banks." Any of them can, i notwithstanding such law, kaep irt circulation as many bills as it is\ safe fnf thorn lo einit. or as they are disposed to emit, n present circumstances They cannot therefore, suffer from the law. It will, an the contrary, we think.be of advantage to them. F??r if their bills should pa9s into the Treasury, which is kept in the State tank, that hank would probably call upon them again for the specie, as it did last year; it seems to us that it would, theiefore, be better for them that their hills should not pass into the hands of the P-n H"'? WU. ,?rml/t hp I ax l/Oiit'ciorSi tr iiu( men, ???? ? ? the sufferers from Ritch a lawf The tax paying people, in the first place, who Mould in some parts of the state, find it difficult to procure bills which could be taken in payment of their taxes; and the demand for such bills would be so great is to hold out an inducement to the favored banks to issue more hills than they could redeem when presented; and thus they might be driven, by the very action :>f the Legislature, to another suspension. A. bank-bill currency is a somewhat tick* ish concern. It is, at all times, liable to le deranged, by improper interference. When, therefore, it is sound, the less it iu interfered with by pragmatic politicians, the better. The people of South Carolina might now learn wisdom, from the old Epitaph, "I was well, took physic, and lerel am " Their local currency is not :>nly sound, but perfectly sound ; and it s the only sound currency in tha South, srn states. Attempts to interfere with it can donopossible good, and may do much narm. In these remarks we said nothing of the pledge in all the bank charters, that 30 long as the hanks pay specie their hills shall be received in payment of state taxes. Much of the preceding columns is occupied with the Governor's message, which is a document of fashionable length. The reader will find it a little hellieOse, a little centr.fugal, and quite Democratic, using the term in the party sense of the present day. The last named quality, being in conf-rinity with the m>ininns nf the stale, is. of course, nolit r? - ? ? --ically right. Whether it is intrinsically ho or not, is n different question ; and one on which men of equal patriotism, if not equal wisdom, may honestly difFef.? Most state executive messages defer the notice of national politics to the close of the document. Governor Richardson reverses this order. Though it is an innovation upon time*honored usage, itstill is consistent and right for a Nulli. tier who considers a state legislature, orn * other state authority, the constitutional tribunal forndjudicuting and settling con. stitutional or other questions arising un. iler the federal government. National politics generally engross more attention if tney are not more important, than state politics. Where, therefore, is it deemed the province of a state to control national legislation, the subject is entitled to the first place in a state executive message. Although it is not our purpose to re. view the message, we shall advert to two or three passages for the purpose, not of discussing the subjects to which they relate, hut of merely directing attention to them. In the first place, we dissent from the | opinion so confidently expressed by his Excellency, that the States, or in other words, the people of these United Stale*, are yet capable of being * subdued to a state of homage, servility and compliance by bribes stolen and lavished from their o-.vn Treasury," or derived by their own servants in Congress from any other source. We have never discussed in our j columns, nor are we inclined to do so now, the constitutionality or expediency of the act of Congress providing for a distribution of the proceeds of the public lands among the states. The subject is one on which men of sound and enlight. ened minds may, and certainly do, form different opinions. But we are at a loss to conjecture how a citizen of our Repuh. io ;\s enlightened,and as experienced in m.Micr file, as Gov. Richardson, could lave brought his mind to the deliberate, solemn n'ld humiliating conviction that he peop le of this country are so ignor. int, imbecile and corruptible as to l?e apable of h''int'{ bribed by their own ?er. ranis, with ti'.'eir own money into a hase ind treacherous dereliction of plain duty :o themselves, ti'ieir children and their country. Again: The Gov ernor, after refering o the act of last sessi on proposing to the several hanks of the State, certain amend nents to their charters, and alluding to the contingency that the state may have ><? bound itself by its own delibe rate acts is to be unable legally to enforce u.uon the banks ar. acceptance of the proposed unendinents, he uses the following Jan. ?imgo, which we put into a separate purgraph that'it may attract the very partnV ular attention of the render: In such a case it ia not a very remote or fanciful anticipation, Ilia* if so important a right were indeed irnpiovidently lost in law, it would hut too probably, i.i the absence of any other resort, be reclaimed hy revolution.'* Tnis is certainly most extraordinary Ian. gunge coming from the Kxecutive depart: mont of the Government* The state char . ters lor a tefm ttfjNtaftiiTRrtain compnaies! if its own citizens* lint for their benefit* Hut for its# own lx;nefii?-fi>r the public g'Kid which the companies are to do. In dflnsideration of ihts public g?Hid, and for thfe purpose of inducing the companies to nPganize, the state grants them certain ! 'irimunities and privileges Which it solemnly pledges its faith to secure to them. But in process of time it repents of its hargainpind proposes a modification of it, accompanied with a threat of violent death against the companies .f they do not accept the prn|Kvsnl, Some of them, in the spirit of republican freemen* under, standing their rights and resolved to main, tain thenr, reject the proposal* The state lliereuuon at to mots to execute its threat, and the question is referred to the Judiciary, the tribunal constituted and appointed by the state itself to decide such questions. This tribunal decides im favor er the companies It decides that their charters are contracts binding on both parties, and during their existence to be executed and enforced like other laws of the land. Thereupon the Executive of the state, an officer appointed mainly ! to see that the laws are faithfully excuted. suggests, not their execution, hut their *ubver.iion by revolution?by rebellion of the people against their own constituted authorities, and against their plighted faith and solemn contracts,?contracts deliberately entered into by their chosen and authorized agents and cheerfully acquiesed in by themselves for many years! What are we coming to? If such doc. trines are tolerated what is to become of our boasted freedom and boasted securi. ty of rights ? It is difficult to believe that the Governor means what his language seems plainly to express. The hanks of South Carolina are the only hanks in the country, South or West of New York, which seem to have been wisely and faithfully administered.? Whilst all the other hanks in this exten. sive, populous and wealthy region refuse .specie for their notes, those of this state j redeem theirs without hesitation whenev. J er they are presented ; and it is admitted on nil hands that they are in n sound cons dition. What more could any rational man ask or wish t What ungrateful re. turn for such faithfulness, under trials whijh proved too severe for the hundreds of other similar institutions^ to be now reviled and persecuted. There are other passages of the message which we intended to notice, but we cannot do it now. A writer in the Charleston Courier re. commends the Hon. H. L. Pincknry for the Presidency of the S. C. College -7The following paragraph states the grounds on which the recommendation is based: 'Mr. Pinckney is now in literary retire, ment; there he stands the victim of Whig profligacy aniproscription [ Mr. Pinckney has done and suffered much in the cause of the State, perhaps no man more so. f 11 your gloomy political conflicts of 1831 '32, and '33, when our little Stale was nobly battling against the gigantic power of the Federal Government, and gtllnntly | contending for the maintenance of those j j cherished principles which we then held j so dear, who can ever forget thu ticriflcps he made, and the self-devotion he display. -I " ^ ? - "o/* Iter r>i, 11: anrl ironopAiiktlu Cil III r?o/ > niiJ!r, t;y in lit nnvi Eui>hi>?ioiT throwing hit fortune nt lier feet, and bv zealously devoting bis eminent services to secure the triumph of those fvorite. political doctrines whirh have since constituted her crowning glory, and cnused her to shine as the brightest star in the brilliant galaxy of her sister States. The Italics are ours. The reader will notice that the recommendation of a cani didate for the Presidency of the college on these grounds come not from the Editors of the Courier hut from a correspondent. Mr. Clay, of Alabama, has resigned his seat in the U. S. Senate. The cause assigned is a necessity of spending the winter in Culm, with his wife, who is in delicate health. The whole number of deaths in New r\.i r V?11 lU f?|| UnCQOii lll'IM jcnuw loci) mc |/riai mil) so far as ascertained by the public authorities was 1625. An extensive fire lately occurred in Vicksburg Mi. the most destructive, says the Whig of that town, which ever occurred there. It destroyed two entire squares in the business part of the town. The Domocrats and Whigs being nearly balanced in one of the counties of Massachusetts, and the balance of power being in the hands of the abolitionists, one of the parties, it is not stated which, nominated a negro, who was elected. But there being some informality in the election, it was illegal and void. A new election was ordered, and the ne^ro is arrain a candi , ?n o date. If elected there is nothing in the constitution to prevent his taking his seat, which he says he will do. The following paragraph from the Southern Patriot* of Charleston, a Demo. v".ratic; paper, will meet the approbation J of considerate men of all parties. ? We perceive that efforts are making to dissuade the Legislature from the acceptance of that portion of the proceeds of the DoUri ) butinn Act which will become due to South j Carolina under its provisions. The poliev of ! such rojection we cannot comprehend. If it is wrong In principle to accept this moneys viewing rt mi * largess and bribe to thcSuien how can /he Hrcepunce by South Carolina of the amount distributed under thp former d;*?r,??ution act bp jintified ? As a bribe, they bo'h stand oti the game fooling. If it i* said that the difference cousis's in there being an actual sufplus in the Treasury in ttie one case j and there being no surplus in the other, this ! create* n j disfmrtion on the score of policy or principle.
