CHERAW GAZETTE. WEDNESDAY, February 9, 1842. Expecting to pass the Farmer? Gazette V .into other hands, we did not order a new &: * * supply of paper till the old supply was exhahstod, W* have therefore been obliged >* J1 to print the present and two last numbers on very inferior pij?er. We may now retain the Gazette in our own > hands, an ! have therefore ordered a new Supply of paper from Charleston, Whence it will reach us sooner than from New York. We shall also as earlv as possible make arrangements for improving the typographical appearance of the p*por. TH3 DISTRIBUTION ACT. 5. v ' We republish from the Gazette of December 22d. a letter copied at that time from the Charleston Courier, giving an account of the proceedings of the House of Representatives in relation to the distribution act.

Ha , maintained that the act was extremely 1. **" ?$gipoIiHc and unwise, bur that, it was an act passed, and the question was, how ought South Carolina to act ? That the States had bought the domain of Florida 1 and Louisiana, and the people's money ad paid for it?and the other lands had i^v-v -v> oedud to the ueoule of the United States. That therefore the distribution vvj fund belonged to the people, and the Leg. kvr .> Mature had no right to come between the r JrP??P'c and their property, and prevent them from receiving, what of right ho. Jonged to them. That the portion allot. te4 te South Carolina was not her full *hare, that the people were robbed, hut ,v that what was offered was their own and ? 'i7r yW ought not to decline receiving it. He j; > ; ^ Mud. however, we ought not to act, now, (>"* endeavor to get the act repealed. He ctatd the reception of the surplus fund was > 'v^y 0. principle identical with this, and there *4* n? hesitancy 111 receiving the amount ' fe*8 proffered us. He said we should wait for a new representation, and as it was not absolutely necessary to act now, wait till the money was tendered. Hffe then ssid in proper time he should o?J%r ? some resolutions. Mr. Fbost, thought we ought not to take too high ground, it was sufficient not to appoint an agent to laHE&Sshi&r*?toe would not then he commit'ed ?and l#w moved to xtrik* out the words, Iks Stats of " Sonth Carolina will no'"? but retain the proposition flint the Governor be enjoined to appoint no agent to receive the money.

Mr. Perry moved to substitute others offered by him, in place?they were not received 88 substitutes. Mr. B.'s were then taken up, and separately voted on? the two first by acclamation, unanimo aly. On the third, the ayes and noes were called for, Mr. A/emminger 9aid he would then be glad to have the ayes and n ?ns on all the resolutions?or, if no person objected, to have them entered as unanimously agreed to. Mr. Blakoney objected* Mr. Memminger then moved that the ayes and noes he taken on the two first, separately, which were accord, inglv ordered. The resolutions were all carried, and all of them nearly unanimously. Mr. Rhett then moved to lay the biil of the Senate on the lable, which was agreed to. The question was ihen taken on the report, and agreed to, and a [ recess taken to 6 o'clock. J. C. Colt, the murderer of Adams, j was convicted of the crime.

The grounds of exceptions are frivolous, and were taken probably with a view to prolong the criminal's life, rather than with a hope of obtaining a new trial. The trial lasted 9 or 10 days.? One of the prisoner's counsel, after the testimony had all been heard read a confession from tho criminal in which he stated that a quarrel oceured between himself and the deceased in tho settlemeut.of an account, which resulted in a fight; that Adams was choaking liini to death, and that he picked up a hatchet lying on a table near at hand with which he killed his antagonist, scarcely know, ing what he was doing. But the character of Adams, and all the circumstances render this statement incredible. A Frenchman, named Lrcazf.ttk. lately smuggled into Charleston a !ot of vnluubie iewelrv. which was # seized by the U. S. Marshall, and will doubtless be forfeited to the U. State s under the revenue laws. Honesty is the best policy. A man named Darwin Gib?nn, from Georgia, has been dctootcd in tho commission of extensive forgeries in New Orleans, and has been arrested. He had negotiated forged cheeks, certificates of deposit Arc. to a large amount. Jamks Kkilky has been appointed Minister to the United States from Texas. The Hon. Charlks l\ MrrcnBLi.,exmetnlwr of Congress, who was confined in prison in the city of New York, under charges of forgery, has been admitted to bail, on account of had health. I ? DA^KKUri. ACT. The Senate, by a majority of one vote has decided against the repeal of the Bankrupt act. So it continues to be the law of the land, and many thousands have already taken steps to have their debts expunged under its provisions. It is surely proper that some general bankrtipt law, of uniform operation throughout i the country, should be enacted. Upon j this point there is perhaps little or no difference of opinion. But it could never have been contemplated by the fratners ; of the Constitution to give Congress the power of interfering with contracts already existing under the laws of the States. A bankrupt law ought to he prospective in its operation. Debts already contracted ought to he wound up under the Inws of the States where they 1 wer-i contracted. This was the intention of the pnrtiesaf the time contracting ; and any interference hy a law of ' Congress passed afterwards is an nrrmrn| ry and uncalled for violation of the oh. I ligation of contracts. The loud call for i a bankrupt law from different parts of the i country for the last year or two has reference only to existing contracts, and ought not therefore to he regarded. It j is an evidence of a deplorable state o( j moral feeling in the community in regard | to the obligation of contracts. snakes. A man in Illinois recently found a den of Snakes among the rocks, containing one thousand seven hundred of 1hese reptiles. North Carolina Tkmpkjunce CJ nion.?This is the title of a new paper recently commenced in Rafc'gh, N. Carolina. It is ably conducted, neatly printed, and issued weekly at the low price of one dollar and fifty cents per annum. A new impulse has been given to the temperance cause throughout the country, within the last twelve or eighteen months, of which North Carolina has felt the effect. The Temperance Union will prove an effij cient auxiliary to the good cause. We copy the following paragraph for the benefit of.fhoeo t>f our readers who wish to learn where the moat faithful, ami in every respect the beat report otfthe -If* * proceedings of Congress appeans. "T^6 National Intelligencer, as every body knows, is a firm Whig paper. ^ But its reports of the proceedings of Congress are full, fair and impartial. No candid man of any politics can object to them: ?*The National Intelligencer has not reached us for two days, which, in the present state of affairs, is very vexatious as to its capital reports we look entirely for the proceedings in Congress; reports, let us add, that comes nenrer to the reporting for the House of Commons than nny thing we have bofore had in this country. New York American. The Girard Bank of Philadelphia latelyjfailcd and the occurrence has given rise to na small oxcitement in the city. We extract the follow, itig paragraphs from the correspondence of the National Intelligencer. Philadelphia January 28. The week ends to-morrow with fewer misfortunes than the earlier part of it seemed to promise. We have had no riots in consequence of the <Tirard Bank failure, nor any nclual attempt at riots. I The excitement has been very general, and certainly very natural, hut it hasbeen exhibited without any breaches of the peace, [n her present situation Philadclphia can scarcely hope to he perfectly free from exhibitions of discontent on the part of the multitudes, who are sufferers directly or indirectly by the evils of a depreciated currency, business depression, and all the incertitude respecting the extent of future calamities which the past misfortunes of her institutions have necessarily created. Philadelphia, January 29. (evening.) The excitement here with regard to' the hanks, so far from abating, seems to increase to a most formidable extent. As I anticipated in my letter of the 20th, con. fulenco seems now entirely lost in the Pennsylvania Bank, which, in point of capital, is the largest in the State, and is the depnsite hunk of the State for this city. A run was commenced upon it this morning as soon as the doors were opened, which continued until the usual hour of closing, but the bank continued to redeem its notes with other paper.? They wore sold to brokers at 10 percent, discount. I have 'no doubt, however, that its doors will be closed on Monday, as I deem it impossible for it to stand the run which will i>e continued. A crowd was around tho hank ail the looming.? Tiie panic is now so general wall regard to the hanks, that, in a very short time, it will be ascertained which of them have f any pretensions to solvency. The stnbilitv nfat least two more is questionable. Market people and storekeepers are dis. trustful of nearly all the hanks, and the chief care of most of this class of th** community,'as soon as they get a hank note, is to get rid of it. I regret most sincerely to say that there ? t i . .i?.. .i | 19 scarcely a uonoi uiai me mtcKBi u? Slate debt will not be |m'.d on Tuesday, the 1st, when it falls due. This will l?o a damning blow to the credit ot Pennayl vania. The amount of the interest which should then go abroad is upwards of half a million. The funds deposited in the Pennsylvania Bank for the payment of the interest nro ahout 8S00,000, as rtearly as 1 can learn. This amount was deposited in all kinds of current pa. per, but whether .any of it has been or will be touched to meet the run on the bank for its circulation, I cannot ascertain. Its circulation, I ain informed, is ahout $640,000; its deposites as much more. The effect of these disastrous events and dark forebodings is exhibited in the Stock and Excdange markets. CONGRESS.

So the law is not repealed. Mr. Preston, and Mr. Mouton (of La.) -paired off by agreement, to attend the wedding of 1 the latter. Mr. P. would have voted for the repeal, and Mr. M. agrinsi, it. The Senate did not sit on Saturday. On Monday it wa> announced that Mr. Nathan F. Dixon, Senator from Rhode Island died on Saturday, of inflammation of the Iung9. The Senate thereupon adjourned. Feb. The Senate attended the funeral of Mr. Dixon and did no business. Feb. 2d* Among the papers presented to the Senate- this morning was a joint resolution of the two houses of the Indiana Legislature, asking for an appropriation to improve the harbor of St. Joseph in Michigan. This paper gave rise to a brief debate between Messrs, Preston, Clay, Graham and White oa the subjects ofintenral improvement, and a protecting o tariff, against which Mr. Preston ex- * pressed himself very decidedly. * Afr. Clay's resolutions on the veto pow. * er were then taken up, and Mr. Buchan- 0 an made a speech against them. House of Reprrsf.ntative*. Jan. 25.?The greater part of the day was consumed by Mr. Wise inaspeeh on a the resolutions of Mr. Marshall published v by us last week to censure Mr. Adams for s presenting a petition to dissolve the c Union. After Mr. W. had ended, a 1 sparring and irregular debate was continued by mnny members. Jan. 2d. Mr. Wise again made a long speech on the same subject, which was r followed with a desultory debate between p Messrs. Adams Marshall and others. A d motion to lay on the table was lost after a 0 long debate, by a vote of 90 to 100. jj Jan. 27.

B c Mr, Adams then corammenced a speech, ? but after some time gave way to a motion 1 for adjournment. t Jan. 29. To-day the "privileged ques. tion," or the resolutions to censure Mr. \dams, were passed over with his con- j sent, and the Treasury note bill with the f amendment by the Sennte was tuken up and, after occupying the House all day, was passed with the amendments. i Monday, Jan, 31.

For the purpose, evidently, of affording an opportune fy to introduce a discussion on slavery. ( Mr. Adams moved a resolution calling t upon the President for a certain eorres- t ponJeuce with the Governor of S. Curo- ( linn and (he Jiinixier to Great Britain in relation lo the luw of this State directing the imprisonment oi' colored persons coining tVoni other States; and also the < l>r??ceediiigs of certain court martinis in- ' volving decisions in relation to shivery. 1 Both resolutions were adopted, the former, 1(17 to 96; the latter, 95 to 64. Mr. 4 Adams also offered it resolution calling 4 upon the President for information in re. 1 Intion to the adoption of the 21st rule by ' the House, and the agency of Mr: John* son of Maryland in it. Mr. Wise moved 4 as an amendment a call for something 4 once aaid by Mr. Jefferson al?out New 1 'England Federalists. Both were laid ' on the table, 111 to 64.

The Treasury note bill having passed, { the government will now be able to meet some of its more pressing and immediate necessities. The oct does not disable the government from raising the balance of the loan authorised at the late session.
